She is reported as being from ME in 1880 census for James K Ames

After a lot of digging around, even getting some early deeds, I could show that the father of James, Joseph Ames, lived in Hancock Co Maine from bef 1807 until about 1815, when he went with his wife Abigail (named in a deed) to Bradford, Penobscot, ME where James K was born in 1822. I know from a deed that he was of Trenton, Hancock in 1814 in a land purchase, according to a biography of Rev Moses Ames, almost certainly his son, the latter was born in Surry, Hancock in 1812, and Joseph signed a document to the MA state legislature concerning Ellsworth ME in 1807.  In a 4th cousin (95% prob of common ancestry) tree from a person in MA, I saw all Maine lines. Since I knew that the connection was 4th-6th cousin with high likelihood I knew when the common ancestor had to be born, sometime around/before 1800. Census records from 1810-1830 make Joseph b. about 1775 and Abigail his wife b. about 1785-90, so Joseph could not have married until about 1805, so probably he married a local girl in Hancock county. Also first recorded kid, Mary, was born 1808. The matching tree meandered all over Maine, but just at the critical moment, one line localized exactly on Ellsworth ME (Josiah Garland and Miriam Moore). Subsequent looking found exactly the same couple in another DNA hit tree, and then the same Garlands appeared in a third. Of course I have looked for an Abigail Garland or Moore (and related names), haven't found her yet. The records are terrible so early, especially in this literally backwoods part of the state.

This is a tree constructed from a variety of sources; some original work on New England, otherwise using NEHGS and other "respectable" sources. Medieval is from genealogics.org, (used as a check on) ancestry.com, and a few amendments from medieval genealogy -- soc.genealogy.medieval
