Wilson Family of Harpswell, Maine, and Saint George, Maine; Pages 140-152 in the Manuscript Genealogy of William Willson (1750-1801)


Pages 137-152 relating to the Wilson family of Harpswell, Maine, and Saint George, Maine; from the manuscript genealogy of William Willson (about 1750-1801), also seen as Wilson, and Descendants.

The genealogy was handwritten by Willson's great grandson William Blake Josephs (1854-1918) of Portland, Maine, in 1901 [with later entries by both himself and others].

The manuscript is discussed in installments, as noted below.


The manuscript measures approximately 7-1/2" by 5"and contains 201 numbered pages, with pages 182-183 and 199-200 missing.  William Blake Josephs wrote the vast majority of the information.

Note: most of the entries are unsourced, but information may have come from people with direct knowledge. Take all with a grain of salt, knowing there may be nuggets here not found anywhere else.

Be aware: the compiler used very little punctuation, including periods at the end of sentences, and was not careful about pronoun antecedents and spelling.  All of this makes some of his information difficult to nail down.

Toward the end are a few pages of entries in a more contemporary hand, perhaps entered by Joseph's widow Mary Jane (Blair) Josephs or one of their children. The missing pages are in this section.

Josephs Family from Portland, Maine in Manuscript Genealogy of William Willson of Harpswell, Maine, and St. George, Maine


Pages 179-201 relating to the Josephs family of Portland, Maine, in a manuscript genealogy of William Willson (about 1750-1801), also seen as Wilson, his descendants and related families of Harpswell and Saint George, Maine.

The genealogy was handwritten by Willson's great grandson William Blake Josephs (1854-1918) of Portland, Maine, in 1901 [with later entries by both himself and others].  He was also the grandson of Manuel Joseph Frates Govia, a mariner from Madeira who found his way to Portland, Maine.

Note: Some of the pages dealing with the Josephs genealogy were written by someone other than Josephs himself.

The manuscript is discussed in installments, as noted below.


The manuscript measures approximately 7-1/2" by 5"and contains 201 numbered pages, with pages 182-183 and 199-200 missing.  William Blake Josephs wrote the vast majority of the information.

Note: most of the entries are unsourced, but information may have come from people with direct knowledge. Take all with a grain of salt, knowing there may be nuggets here not found anywhere else.

Be aware: the compiler used very little punctuation, including periods at the end of sentences, and was not careful about pronoun antecedents and spelling.  All of this makes some of his information difficult to nail down.

Toward the end are a few pages of entries in a more contemporary hand, perhaps entered by Joseph's widow Mary Jane (Blair) Josephs or one of their children. The missing pages are in this section.

 Josephs - Family

 The correct name of this family 
is Govia (1) the first of the family in
this country was ____ Govia (probably
Manuel Govia) he came to this country
from the Island of Madeira a province
of Portugal he was therefore a Portuguese
he was in the country prior to 1777
Probably for he had married a spanish
lady Louisa Martin their first child
was born April 15 - 1777 in New Orleans
his name was Manuel Joseph Frates
Govia we think there were three other
children all born later in Madeira we
are sure of one daughter Antonette while
Manuel the first child was a baby his
parents moved to Madeira where the 
rest of the family were born. when the
first child Manuel Joseph Frates had 
grown to be a young man probably ab-
out 18 years old. according to the custom
of his country was obliged to serve 3 yrs

 (1) The reason of the change will be
seen farther on in this article

 in the regular Army this was something
that young Manuel did not fancy so he
left home and came to this country the
land of his birth where he lived at first
in this country we know not we know 
of him first when he was a man of 30 yrs
or more at this time he was making 
Portland his home he was a Mariner
by occupation serving as a cook he was
a man about 5 ft 10" in height square
shoulders and good looking his complex
ion was dark upon his arrival in this
country he dropped his last two
names and called himself Manuel
Joseph this was probably done to pre-
vent identification fearing that he
might be found and pressed into
service. he married in Portland in 
1812 Mrs. Susannah (Wilson) Flood
daughter of William and Martha
Wilson of Harpswell (Baileys Id)
they lived on or about India St dur-
ing his life. he followed the sea ll
his life dying with yellow fever on

 These pages are contained in a manuscript genealogy of Willson of Harpswell and later Saint George, Maine; his descendants and families that married into the Willson family.

 The genealogy was handwritten by Willson's great grandson William Blake Josephs (1854-1918) of Portland, Maine, in 1901 [with later entries by both himself and others].

 First, an overview of the manuscript:

 The manuscript is discussed in installments, as noted below.

The manuscript measures approximately 7-1/2" by 5"and contains 201 numbered pages, with pages 182-183 and 199-200 missing.  William Blake Josephs wrote the vast majority of the information.

 Note: most of the entries are unsourced, but information may have come from people with direct knowledge. Take all with a grain of salt, knowing there may be nuggets here not found anywhere else.

Toward the end are a few pages of entries in a more contemporary hand, perhaps entered by Joseph's widow Mary Jane (Blair) Josephs or one of their children. The missing pages are in this section.

 The Penobscot Expedition, Pages 66-93

 Note: Be aware that the compiler made spelling errors and used very little punctuation, including scant use of periods at the end of sentences. Rereading may be necessary to figure out where one sentence ends and another begins.

 A transcription, in the works, will be shared upon request.

Pages of particular interest to Maine family historians include: 70-75; 88-92; 114-115
