Today I will provide an updated map covering Edward’s life span (or at least as much of it as I know). I am combining his civilian and military maps because there are some obvious connections between his service and his civilian life.

Edward Marden Sr. – Timeline 1.1
I believe it is time to review all I have discovered about Edward before moving on to Edward Jr. First I will revise my timeline for him, then in my next post I will revise his map.
Edward Marden Sr., – Summary of Deeds
Now that I have explored all these wonderfully informative deeds, it is time to review what I learned, what I didn’t learn, what earlier assumptions need to be revised, and what is left to do. This last item will wait until the next post.

Springtime in Maine!
Well folks, I apologize for being away from the blog for so long. But really, it’s springtime in Maine – who wants to sit in front of a computer when the sun is out, the breeze is warm, plant life is emerging from its winter sleep, the black flies are still sleeping, and I have a bazillion spring chores to accomplish! I promise to get my butt in gear and get back to the blog real soon – my timing will probably coincide with the emergence of those black flies, which could be any day now.
Today I just need to shout out loud about how honored I am. I just discovered this blog was chosen on May 2 by Indian Country Today Media Network as one of their 11 Essential Genealogy Blogs. Just how cool it that? My blog is listed along with some of the best known genealogy blogs in the whole blog-sphere. What an honor for this humble 3 month old endeavor.
Thank you very much Indian Country Today and all my followers.
Another item I want to share today is the availability of “The Life of John W. Johnson” as a PDF file which can now be downloaded and printed out. Ne-Do-Ba has offered this story for more than decade at Life of John W. Johnson . However, not everyone likes to read large amounts of text online and not everyone that might be interested in reading it has a computer. If you are interested in Wabanaki Culture mid 19th Century, this is a must read.

Civil War Challenge – Identifying Alburgh’s unnamed “Indian” soldiers
In Commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, I offer this challenge. Please help me correct an unfortunate oversight and properly honor these soldiers.
During the Civil War the town of Alburgh, Vermont kept a record of men who served for the town. However, there are men in the town record with no names. They are identified only as “Four Indians”. In commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of that terrible time in our history, I challenge my readers; Civil War buffs, historians, & genealogists from all corners; the people of Vermont; and most especially the town of Alburgh – give these men the proper recognition they deserve by giving them names.
Today, I am posting a copy of the original town record and showing my research to date. I can not do this alone. I ask assistance from everyone that appreciates the injustice of this. The general population of the mid-19th Century placed so little value on Indian life, they could not even be bothered to record the names of these “Indian” men who offered their lives.
These men deserve to be recognized properly. Because of their service, other men did not have to serve. These men deserve a proper place in the history of this county. It is time to correct this unfortunate oversight, identify these brave men, and tell their story to the world. It is, in my opinion, the only proper way to honor their sacrifice during this period of Civil War Commemoration.

Edward Marden Jr. – Grafton Deeds (Part 8)
Today I will explore the second deed in Grafton County that involves the Marden family. It is a quit claim deed for the Annis family land in Bath, NH and it helps establish the identity of Edward Jr’s wife as Elizabeth Annis, daughter of David Annis of Bath, NH.

Edward Marden Jr. – Grafton Deeds (Part 7)
In the deed I am exploring today, I see the 60 acres purchased by Edward Jr. is now being sold to Phineas Ash of Lyman. This transfer takes place less than a year after Junior acquired the property. Phineas Ash will appear in other Marden deeds as well.
