Description

Records of Westport, Maine (DAR Genealogical Compilation), Part 6. Originally compiled as a single volume with separately paginated sections including a preface (with Vital Records Book I) and a comprehensive surname index. Compiled by the Mary Kelton Dummer Chapter, Maine Daughters of the American Revolution, ca. 1934–1935.

Part of the Records of Westport, Maine (DAR Genealogical Records) series. Includes a compiled genealogy of the Dunton family authored by Rev. Henry Otis Thayer (1832–1927), a Congregational minister and local historian whose research documented early families of the lower Kennebec region. The work traces descendants of early Westport Island settlers across multiple generations, documenting family relationships, marriages, migrations, and connections to neighboring communities including Woolwich, Boothbay, Edgecomb, and Newcastle. Supplemental material includes transcribed town records, marriage intentions, probate references, cemetery inscriptions, and census extracts related to the Dunton family and associated families such as Knight, Crosby, Brookings, Hodgdon, Greenleaf, Sherman, Pinkham, Reed, and others. Thayer’s genealogy was later incorporated into the Daughters of the American Revolution compilation of Westport records assembled in the 1930s.

Other sections of this compilation include Vital Records Books I–IV, cemetery inscriptions, the 1850 Federal Census transcription, the Dunton family genealogy, and a surname index.

The original preface to the compilation is included with Vital Records Book I.

A comprehensive surname index to all sections is available separately.
