Hello. I have a diary written by a Mary Ware in 1897, that came from a farmhouse on E. Sennebec Rd in Union, ME. She graduated from the Bucksport Seminary in 1888, studied nursing but came home to care for her family. Her parents aren’t referred to by name, but other family members are “Aunt E” Fannie, Eva, and Tommy, Herbert, Lottie and Sadie are requently named. I am fascinated with her story, and would love to connect all these people and learn more about her family tree. If you think this could be the same branch, please let me know. Thank you!
