“Hi Kathrine,
 
Thomas S. Lord Sr.: the father-in-law of Darius’s son Almon Andrews, who married Mary Jane Lord. I’m descended from Thomas S. Lord Sr.’s daughter Sarah F., who married Columbus H. Wing. Thomas S. Lord got a fair amount of ‘press’ (a page in Hollis Turner’s History of Peru), but unfortunately that’s about all I have, besides a long war pension file, a land record here and there and his wife Polly’s probate file. He claimed he was from Acton, ME down in York County, but there is absolutely no place for him in any of the seemingly well-documented Lord families there at the time I need. Nothing. A brick wall in its most heinous and absolute sense!
 
I also just noticed that Philindia (Andrews) Canwell named one of her daughters “Keziah”, which might actually be a strong piece of evidence of Philindia’s mother having been Keziah Caswell.
 
Another thing I just noticed: the Darius Andrews who filed a marriage intention to Betsey Lartherby in Gardiner on 25 Nov 1826 is called “of Sumner”. Philindia Andrews was also “of Sumner” in her marriage intention to Oliver Billings Canwell just one month later. Darius and Betsey’s marriage might indeed have been a short one (Betsey could have died not too long afterwards).
 
I just had a quick look at the index of the MOCA Oxford County CD… lots of Betsey Andrews. But if she was from Kennebec County, she might also be buried there. Worth looking into!
