The Scotch-Irish Descendants of John Lermond ~ 1719-1992

The Scotch-Irish Descendants of John Lermond ~ 1719-1992, from Ireland to Milton, Massachusetts, and on to Damariscotta, Maine, was published in 1992 by sisters, Isabel Morse Maresh and Annie Morse Cilley. The sisters had been independently researching for Lermond descendants for over fifteen years. In 1992, they compiled their data. Isabel wrote letters, phoned descendants, corrected data and pasted photos, while Annie put the data into the computer, formatted for photos, and did an Index. At the time, the sisters lived more than 100 miles apart. In June 1992, a Lermond reunion was held with over 100 descendants attending. The Lermonds descend from Capt. John Lermond, whose wife and mother were killed by Indians in 1747 in what is now Damariscotta (Maine). The book has 741 pages, an every-name Index, with over 1700 photos. The photos cost over fifteen dollars per book in the first run of 100 books. The book is copyrighted with copies in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
