[30395] The unverified "Fowler Family History and Genealogy" in http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com offers: "Will dated 5 Mar 1781, proved 17 Jul 1782. His son John was executor. Witnesses were Leonard Sellman, Richard Davis. All of his estate was to go to his wife (unnamed) unless she remarry, then it was to be divided between all of his children equally. His wife was to clothe son Richard 'when she thinks him in most need.' Inventory of his estate was taken 20 Aug 1782. Signing as 'nearest kindred' to the inventory were Frederick Basford and Thomas Fowler Basford. His wife died before 6 Mar 1789 when final distribution of his estate was made to John Basford, Thomas Basford, Richard Basford, Frederick Basford, Zachariah Basford, Benjamin Basford, Jemima Basford and Rachel Basford who married Isaac Nicols. (Presumably this son Thomas Basford was the same person as the Thomas Fowler Basford who was a witness to the inventory will?)" This web site states that Thomas is son of Thomas Bassford [sic] and wife Rachel, and that Thomas also m. Mary Freeman. Note that "Biographical Data from Baltimore Newspapers, 1817-1819," Robert W. Barnes (Baltimore: Clearfield, 2011) reports that "Basford, David, of Boston, was m. last Thurs. by Rev. Dr. Roberts to Miss Catherine Fowler, all of Baltimore (FGBA 26 Sep 1818; BA 26 Sep 1818; BPAY 25 Sep 1818)." In 2016 http://www.basfordfamily.org/ThomasBasfordRegister/rr01/rr01_002.htm provides further information including wife and children.

In 2019 https://blog.mainevets.org/ruth-wardell-mvh-bangor-veteran-stories-usn-1 offers: 'Ruth Colby Wardwell was born in March 1925, on her family's farm in Bucksport, Maine. After graduating from Bucksport High School she attended Bryant & Stratton College, graduating in 1944. After college, Ruth went to work at Emery and Conant Wool Company in Boston. As World War II raged in Europe and the Pacific, Ruth did her part by giving blood and buying war bonds. Soon that wasnt enough for Ruth - she wanted to serve, and she decided to become a Navy WAVE. Following training at Hunter College in New York, she was sent off for four months to Great Lake Illinois. Then came an assignment to Chelsea Naval Hospital in Massachusetts. At the naval hospital, Ruth helped with recuperating sailors and Marines. "I was proud to be able to contribute," she remembers. "It was a very rewarding experience for me." While she was at Chelsea she received word that her boyfriend, William Wardwell, who was serving in the Army, was ill and hospitalized at nearby Fort Devens. It was feared that he might never walk again. As soon as she could arrange it, Ruth went to visit Bill - their first time together in three years. She found him weak, but thankfully, beginning to walk again. As the war neared its end, Bill was sent to recover at his family home in Castine, Maine. A long-distance romance ensued until Bill proposed and Ruth returned to Maine to be married. Together they raised six children. As their children grew older Ruth became a very active 4-H leader and Sunday School teacher. In 1984, she returned to school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant and later worked at the Ellsworth Convalescent Center. Ruth also applied her healing skills in her own family, serving as a dedicated caregiver to her father and husband when they became seriously ill. "The strength in me was God given," Ruth says. "It was gathered from the courage these men showed me when in great pain." Ruth is greatly admired by those who know her for raising a wonderful family and spending so much of her life helping others.'
"The Ellsworth American, 7 June 2021": "Ruth Irene (Colby) Wardwell, 96, passed away on Saturday, June 5, 2021. She was born on March 10, 1925, in Bucksport, the daughter of Byron E. and Rachel (Potter) Colby. She served in the United States Navy WAVES in 1945 and 1946 and worked as a secretary and CNA. She was a member of the East Bucksport United Methodist Church, the Duck Cove Extension, the Duck Cove Community Club and the Orland Chapter of Eastern Star. Ruth is survived by her children, Dana Wardwell and wife, Paulette, of Bucksport, Frank Wardwell and partner Elaine White of Bangor and daughter-in-law Patti Rump of Bucksport; grandchildren, Kristen Stevens of New Brunswick, Canada, Jason Andrews of Ontario, Canada, Susan Satterfield of Eddington, Mark Wardwell of Bucksport, Paul Wardwell of North Carolina, Gregory Wardwell of Germany, Nicholas Wardwell of North Carolina, Kelsey Wardwell of Bucksport, Keagan Wardwell of Lamoine, Coty Wardwell of Washington, D.C., Casey Wardwell of Holden along with 17 great-grandchildren and one sister, Elsie Mann of Dexter.
