I have not followed thru on these yet, but I'm going to have to as there are no birth records in Franklin Co., Temple, or Farmington for Louisa S (my line). Rodney and Hannah were living in Temple in 1820 and in Wilton in 1830. I called the President of the Wilton Historical Society and he said he would pass on my research request to the new president....haven't heard back yet. I know there is info there."

1870 ME Census Farmington, Franklin, ME Rodney Moore -b. 1787 NH Listed as a retired clergyman Hannah 73 (born c18 listed as "lady" They are living with 63 yr old Elijah Smith, rake manufacturer, his wife, Josephine 54 [c1816] and their dtr Lizzie 16. All born in Maine. (Could Josephine be another d/o Rodney? Rodney and Hannah married 1812 . In 1880 Elijah and Josephine are still living in Farmington by themselves. Josephine now age 63 with father born NH and mother born MA. Josephine seems a good candidate for Rodney's daughter.)

Rodney married Hannah Perry, daughter of Moses Perry and Hannah Adams, on 2 Apr 1812 in Temple, Kennebec County, Maine. (Hannah Perry was born on 14 Nov 1796 in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, died on 22 Mar 1880 in Farmington, Franklin County, Maine and was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Farmington, Maine.)
