Hi David,
This page is great! Many of these are my ancestors.
The islands probably would include Cushing Island, Peaks Island, Great Diamond,
Little Diamond, House Island, and Long Island. I might be missing some.
Henry Trefethen and Josiah Starling owned and may have lived on House Island at
that point. The Littlejohn, Brackett, Trott, and Woodbury families in particular
lived on Peaks Island. Cushing, of course, lived on Cushing Island.
I'm not familiar with most of the other names, but I'm sure the other Islands
were included. Not having an Island listing nearby, I may have missed an Island too.
Hope this helps. Regards, Shawn srblair@m1.sprynet.com (Shawn R. Blair)
