There are two headstones for these infants but no names or any other information.
John B. Carter came from Harbor Island, which he owned, off Naskeag Point in Brooklin. Lucinda Freethy was a midwife at the Reach. John & Lucinda had 7 boys. Two of the boys are buried here. Two others were Leroy and Wadsworth, born Oct 15, 1856 [vital records pg. 117]. Both of these boys grew up, married and had children of their own, but we have no further information on them or the other children. Lucinda had a daughter “Minnie” from a previous marriage; we have no further information on her.
