Notes
a. Note:   [rscrbnr.ged] John married his cousin, Elizabeth (21-iv, 52). John and Elizabeth rode on horseback to Otisfield in November of 1796, bringing with them their six-month-old son, William. They came by a trail of spotted trees near the end of their cold November journey through the wilderness of Maine. The Norway, Maine, "Advertiser" of 24 October 1914, carried this article written by a nephew, Granville Fernald: "One of the most conspicuous old men that I can remember was Uncle John Scribner, in his last years of life. He was of very portly form, and as he came up the aisle of the church, supported by his long staff, his venerable form and snowy locks suggested one of the old prophets of Israel. There were many Scribners, two or three generations that I can remember well. I have a distinct impression to this day of the beautiful expressive eyes of the race of Scribners in Otisfield. It is a feature of the family yet to be seen in some of the children of the family I know."
