On a rare day off from work (June 13th), Patti and I took a trip to Camden, Maine, to search Mt. View Cemetery for the gravestones of Hannah (Gibbs) Mansfield and Mary aka Polly (Gibbs) Mansfield. They were daughters of my 4th-great-grandparents, Elisha & Silence (Harrington) Gibbs. Hannah and Mary were married in Camden to brothers, Thomas and Daniel Mansfield, sons of Daniel and Lydia (Newhall) Mansfield.

Hi Dale,
I am descended from Sally Gibbs (Mansfield) Russ, who married Daniel/David Russ and died young, along with her husband, in Camden, Maine.
Thank you for your post. Living in New Mexico, I have only visited Camden once on a genealogy visit, and ran out of time when it came time to walk the graveyard. I have been to Salt Lake City to the Mormon genealogy library, which is very useful, but it doesn't satisfy the itch to see / hear / smell / experience where my ancestors lived.
