grandfather. She is very weak on genealogy. She married first Joseph Orono, son she says, but no doubt a grandson of old chief Orono. (Joe Lewis Orono, she says later) Probably he was the one nicknamed Joe Toluck, but as the nickname was probably indecent I never asked! No - all right = "big knife[?]"

"My first husband, if he live, oh very some body!" - meaning that he was an able man. "He make special law" "If he's live I'm sorry - when he died again that discourage me" (probably means she was discouraged when her second died) Her second husband she sometimes says was Sol {Saul}, son of old Gov. Neptune's son Sol [two struck through], & sometimes was Mitchell Neptune son of Sol {Saul} Neptune {he was grandson of the Governor} "He got learning but slow".

Old Orono she said in his later years, being set aside as too old, got mad & left the tribe & went to Orono "and camp down there always". Was buried in Oldtown. She says his father was Frenchman

From an account I gathered that her husband was Lewis 3 Orono (Lewis 2, Chief Joseph 1) "brought up in New York," "knew everything [underlined]; died in Boston about 35 years ago, buried there" What Clara says must be taken with extreme caution.
