[56503] "The Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine]," 16 April 2021: "Milo - On April 14, 2021, Marie Leone (Ellis) Bradstreet, 86, claimed the promise of her Lord and Savior. She was born in Milo on July 12, 1934, to Opal (Pray) and Charles Ellis Sr. Marie's grandfather first took her to the United Baptist Church of Milo when she was 5 years old. She was a regular attendee of services at that same church for her entire life. Marie first met Vaughn Bradstreet, her future husband, when she was still in high school. Vaughn used to deliver ice to her parents' home for their ice box. He would stay to play pick-up sticks with Marie on the front steps while he was getting to know her. Marie and Vaughn were married on August 29, 1953, in Milo, ME. Vaughn carried the picture of Marie shown above in his wallet from 1953 until his death in 2019. As a teenager, Marie began her working career at Daggett's Pharmacy in Milo. She held various jobs before settling into a lifetime career with the United States Postal Service. Marie was a letter carrier as well as a front desk clerk. After retirement, Marie and Vaughn loved to travel. They took yearly trips to New Hampshire for their anniversary. They traveled as far east as Prince Edward Island, Canada, and as far west as Anchorage, Alaska. One of their most memorable trips was when they traveled to enjoy sunny Florida and had difficulties returning home due to the flood of 1987. Marie is survived by her devoted daughter, Carol Jean Sawyer; grandchildren, Avery Sawyer and his wife, Jerusha Sawyer, Elizabeth Vaughn, and Aaron Sawyer and his wife, Jessie Cassell; and great-grandchildren, Raven and Lark, Alexander, Aiden, and Vivienne, and Ashton and Charles. Marie was eagerly awaiting the birth of her eighth great-grandchild who is due to arrive this August. She will be missed by her sister-in-law, Beverly D'Arcy; brother-in-law, Earlan Bradstreet; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 66 years, Vaughn Bradstreet; her parents, Charles Ellis Sr. and Opal (Pray) Ellis; son, Steven Bradstreet; brother, Charles Ellis Jr.; infant siste, Rosalie Ellis; son-in-law, Edward Sawyer; and brothers and sisters-in-laws, Charles, Lawrence, Nancy, and Judy. Marie delighted in her family's fur babies as they were brought into her life. She enjoyed Brutus, Shane, Storm, Black Jack, and Bruno through their years. She will be missed greatly by Chloe, Duckdog, Daxlan, Cooper, and Luna Rose."

OneWorldTree shows Thomas dying in Somerset House - why was he there? - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_House. It also states Thomas is son of Thomas Mendenhall (1609-1673). See "Thomas & Joan (Strodes) Mendenhall and their descendants in America," Ingabee Brineman Minniear (1965) which states
Thomas Mendenhall (1633-1682) married Joan Strodes in 1656, emigrated from England to America in 1657 and settled in Pennsylvania. He returned to England before he died in 1682. His descendants lived in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, and elsewhere." Ancestry.com offers: "Mendenhall Name Meaning - English: habitational name for someone from either of two places called Mildenhall, in Suffolk and Wiltshire. The place in Suffolk may have been named in Old English as middle nook of land, from middel + halh, or it may be of the same origin as the Wiltshire place name, Mildas nook of land, from an unattested Old English personal name + halh. The spelling Mendenhall does not appear in English sources, and this may be a U.S. variant."
