Nichols of Searsport, Maine, p. 8); d. at Prospect 17 Oct. 1830 (ib.) ; m. at Belfast, Maine, 30 Mar. 1797 (Belfast Vital Records; Bangor Historical Magarine, vol. 9, p. 173), Hannah Nickels, b. in what is now Searsport,* Maine, 22 Aug. 1779 (Nichols Family Record, p. 8), d. at Searsport 10 Dec. 1859 (ib.), daughter of James and Hannah (Caldwell) Nickels of what is now Searsport, who were formerly of Londonderry, N. H.
The birth of Capt. Isaac* Carver is not recorded at Marshfield with those of the other children of John* Carver (No. 38). The date of his birth and that of his death appear in the town records of Prospect, but the place of his birth and the names of his parents are not given there. In Little?s "Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine? (vol. 4, p. 1929) and also in the memoir of the late Eugene Pendleton Carver published in the Rmsra (vol. 81, p. 104) he is said to have been a son of Amos (infra, No. 40) and Anna (Lane) Carver of Freeport, Maine; but this statement is clearly disproved by the fact that Amos Carver (No. 40) had a son Amos, b. 28 Aug. 1775?only about four months after the birth of Capt Isaac* Carver?in that part of North Yarmouth, Maine, which in 1789 was incorporated as the town of Freeport. Moreover, the United States Census of 1800 shows that Capt. Isaac Carver came to Prospect from Mansfield, Mass., a town not far from Marshfield, his birthplace; and Mr. Lawrence W. Carver of Lincolnville has in his possession an old account book formerly belonging to his great-grandfather, Benjamin? Carver of Lin-conviile (supra, No. 38, iii), and containing the following entry: ?Isaac Carver to Benj. Carver ?To supporting your mother and mine ten years to 1825, .50 per week	$260.
"To supporting her from July 1827 to July 1829, being two years, @ .50 per week,	$54.
"To Doctor, nursing and funeral charges,	$20.?
This proves beyond a doubt that Capt Isaac* Carver was a son of John and Lucinda (Thomas) Carver, although his birth is not recorded at Marshfield with the births of their other children.
Capt. Isaac Carver was the ancestor of the Carver family of Searsport, a well-known family of sea captains, shipbuilders, and shipowners; and some of his descendants are shipowners and merchants at the present time. All of his sons, except one who d. in boyhood, were sea captains.
