Editor's Note:

Another busy month of activity for the P.P.F.A. We are pleased that we were able to help connect Denise Philbrick-Sanders to the Family Tree (contact her at: sanders1@fls.infi.net). Denise had posted a query on the Rootsweb Philbrick Gen-Forum Board and we now know that she is a close relative of two of our members (See more in this issue.)

Also in this issue, the P.P.F.A. has acquired a historical document from 1848 for Edward Dearborn Philbrick (JC #89-I.-Gen.#8).

We also continue to order pension and military records on our Philbrick & Philbrook Civil War soldiers. These documents are being scanned and added to our Archives. If you have copies of records you would like to have scanned and added to our files, please let us know; you may e-mail us or write to the Editor.

William Philbrook⁷ (See JC #53-IV.-2), wife Catharine & Mercy Thomas are buried at Old North Cemetery in Ipswich, Essex Co., Massachusetts. Some Maine history books confuse this William with his father (Wm. Jr), and incorrectly list Lucy Drinkwater as his wife. Lucy Drinkwater was William6, 2nd wife.

This recently acquired document is a receipt for a pair of shoes, apparently purchased by Miss Hannah Chase for $1.12. "E.D. Philbrick" in "Seabrook" received pay. This document corresponds with Edward Dearborn Philbrick (JC #89-I.-Gen.#8) who was born in Seabrook on June 27, 1823 and died at "Tub Harbor, Labrador (NH?) 2 Aug., 1848" according to Jacob Chapman's "Philbrick & Philbrook Families." According to Chapman, Edward "went on a voyage for his health and was drowned."
