William Talcott and Harriet (Barrett) Daggett This (below) is all I know of my Great Grandmother's family. Her name was Harriet Barrett, unfortunately the Barrett name is quite common and Nathaniel appears to have led a rather reclusive life. At least I am not a good enough genealogist to unearth his heritage yet. Aside from honoring his involvement in the Revolutionary War not much appears to be known of him, he married late in life and as near as I can tell had only one child... I sure hope I can break through the wall sometime soon. I was contacted by Louise Gifford and she gave me a little more information, not enough to get past Nathaniel unfortunately but that's something. Marydenise Daggett is going like a-house-afire, she is a 3rd cousin and is helping me even though this is not her branch of the family tree... it appears that the Nathaniel I have here is not completely right, the death part and the Revolutionary war part is correct but the birth information is bogus... the Nathaniel Daggett born in Mason New Hampshire is also buried there next to his wife... more will be added later
Please write to me with your comments, corrections and additions. I honestly appreciate all the input I can get. Pete Daggett

AN HISTORICAL SPOT
Situated on a beautiful hillside about one
quarter of a mile south of Hinckley Station and just back of the Good Will Home
for Girls, I there is a little cemetery where two Civil War soldiers and' one
Revolutionary soldier are buried. This cemetery was taken from two adjoining
farms now owned by Rev. George W. Hinckley on the north and the Good Will Home
Association for Girls on the south. The north part of the cemetery 50 by 100
feet was
The adjoining farm to the south was owned by Mr. George Ellis. This farm is now owned by the Good Will Home Association for Girls. Mr. Ellis and Mr. Starbird entered into an agreement whereby the line fence was taken down and an equal amount of land added to the cemetery from Mr. Ellis' farm making the cemetery 100 feet square. As time went on, neighbors and friends were allowed to bury their people there. Mr. Starbird moved to California several years ago but Mr. George Ellis continued to live on the adjoining farm until his death. Mr. Ellis; his wife and Several children are also buried in this cemetery. The Revolutionary Soldier buried here was Nathaniel Barrett. He enlisted February 27, 1781, from the State of New Hampshire as a private on the roll of the 9th Company, 15th Regiment,' Continental Army. He served the full term of the Revolutionary War. He died at the home of his son Hiram D. Barrett, Clinton, Me., Dec. 29, 1853. A campaign was started in April, 1922, to raise funds to improve the condition of this cemetery. Mr. William T. Daggett of Waterville undertook the direction of the matter and the whole task of raising the funds and grading and beautifying the spot has been under his management. People who have relatives buried there have contributed cheerfully in both money and labor. The Town of Fairfield made a very liberal contribution from town funds and this money together with that raised from all other sources has been used for the purchase of a strictly all iron fence which has been erected for the protection of the historic spot. So far all bills have been paid in full. There is still needed, however, a fund of $100.00 which should be deposited with the Town of Fairfield, the income of which to be used for the future care of the cemetery, This burying ground so full of interest and sentiment will henceforth be known as the Ellis Cemetery.

An article entitled A Real Granddaughter of the American Revolution Living in Maine" appeared in the November 1943 issue of the National Historical Magazine. This sketch of Mrs. Daggett's life gave an accounting of the placing of a revolutionary Marker on her Grandfather's Grave in the Ellis cemetery, Hinckley , by our chapter on September 20, 1937. Mrs. Daggett's name was placed on the Honor Roll of the chapter in 1941. Mrs. Daggett came to Waterville in 1918, and I came to know her in the church, where she immediately took her place and if others found the atmosphere unfriendly, she never did As she herself radiated friendship. Always giving generously of her time. and very efficient in whatever she undertook. If she had joined our Chapter earlier in life, we would have found her an able, loyal and enthusiastic member. She had charming and lovable personality. a strong sense of humor. And was a devoted wife and mother. She loved youth, color. and life, to the day of her death. She has passed these qualities on to her beloved children and grandchildren. All of whom carry on her memory with their music. Her presence was felt. as soon as she entered a room with her cordial welcomes for all, and we shall miss her although of late she has not often been with us. I am sure that this was her dally prayer: When I Grow Old. When I grow old, . --- God grant that every child Will feel the youthful texture or my soul. And will not turn away from me, as from a thorn or blighted vine. When I grow old. When I grow old, God grant that I may have some task . Which must be done. or someone fare the worse That in some corner of the earth .Someone will need my hand - - When I grow old. Silence Hayden Chapter, DAR Josephine P. Drummond October 3, 1947. Waterville, Maine More About HARRIET MARIA BARRETT: Burial: Mapleton; Fairfield, Maine Notes for WILLIAM TALCOTT DAGGETT: Audrey: Thank you for your response! You say that William Talcott Daggett is also buried there! Thanks again… that is new data, I appreciate Looks like I need to write some letters, Local DAR, VFW, do you have a Town Council in Fairfield? Any idea how I can get hold of them? Unfortunately I live in California or I would clean it up myself. (Easy for me to say huh…) According to the article, the property the Cemetery on is an entity unto itself, a bond was to be posted with the town of Fairfield to maintain the cemetery, looks like someone dropped the ball. I am going to cc this to some folks and see if they may be able to give me some better ideas, when you get involved in Genealogy you meet all sorts of people. PS; Do you have a digital camera or a scanner, can someone take a few pictures for me? I will gladly pay any expense incurred. Subject: RE: Off the wall... Hello I asked about and found your cemetery. It is located behind one of our girls cottages (Reddington Cottage). The town of Fairfield is suppose to maintain it - which they do not. The girls side of campus try to keep it maintained - the local Veterans organization does put flags on the graves each year. I was told both Mr. Barrett & Mr. Daggett are laid to rest there. I guess since it is on Good Will-Hinckley property, the town of Fairfield figures it is our responsibility --- I really do not know the logistics of this --- but at least we know where it is. I do hope this helps --- If I can assist you more, please do contact me. Audrey (Stott) Sibley Admin. Asst. Development Office
Subject: Off the wall... astott In rummaging through my mothers papers I found the article below. I am assuming that the "Good Will Home Association for Girls" is now the "Good Will-Hinckley Homes for Boys and Girls in Hinckley". The revolutionary war soldier mentioned, Nathaniel Barrett, is my GGGrandfather and Mr. William T. Daggett is my Great Grandfather, I am writing to ask if you or someone there can confirm that the Cemetery is still being maintained, and if someone knows who I can contact to get more information about it.
