Notes:
 a) "Documentary History of the State of Maine" Search: books.google.com; "Order of the General Court June 19, 1766"
 b) "The French Blood in America" (page 197); (books.google.com) The Pushor family is descended from Jean Pochard, a French Huguenot who arrived in 1751 with his wife and four sons from Chenerbie, Haute-Soane in eastern France near the Swiss border. They arrived in Boston on the ship Pricilla, which sailed rom Rotterdam, Netherlands, and proceeded directly to Frankfort Plantation (Dresden) in Maine where they settled in 1752. Some of the family moved to Fairfield in 1775 and then to the Pittsfield area around 1814. The inability of the English speaking settlers to spell the name correctly resulted in a variety of phonetic variations e.g. Pushard, Pushaw, Pushor, Puchard and Pushan just to name a few.
 c) Daniel Malbon: According to the ship manifest, Daniel Malbon (Senior; Born Mar. 12, 1707, Clairgoutte, Haute-Saone, Fance) arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia on the ship Betty, in 1752, along with his four children. His wife Jean Marguritte (Margaret) is also listed but she apparently stayed behind in Halifax due to an illness (possibly plague) She died in Halifax in 1753/1754, along with two of his children. Daniel appears to have remarried (by Rev. Jacob Bailey) in 1773. Source: Nova Scotia Immigrants to 1876, vol. 1 (page 413); Ancestry.com. Daniel (s/o Daniel andMargaret) (born: Feb. 16, 1732) arrived in Boston on the ship Pricilla in 1751. Source (10) There is no evidence that Daniel Malbon was married to Elizabeth Pochard.
 d) Abraham was a very common name in this period in Maine. There are so many of them that all references to him, other than being the s/o Jean Pochard, should be considered highly suspect and unreliable unless a legitimate authoritative source can be quoted. The entire list of children attributed to him is totally inaccurate from start to finish. Some of them are clearly the progeny of other people and some of the females are part of the Pushard family only through marriage. (Death: Familysearch.org; Unconfirmed)
 e) Margaret Paris: No supporting evidence has ever been presented, nor can any evidence be found, where the alleged marriage to Abraham by Margaret Paris, can be supported. It’s widely claimed that Margaret Paris was the daughter of Amos Paris but there is no evidence that Amos and his wife Margaret ever had a daughter named Margaret. Margaret Paris could not have been born in Pownalboro in 1730, as claimed elsewhere, b/c, aside from the fact that it wasn’t settled until 1750, and the \ first French and German immigrants didn’t arrive until 1752, there is no evidence whatsoever that Amos Paris had a daughter named Margaret. No evidence could be found to support the claim that Margaret Paris was married to Abraham. The 1766 Pownalboro census shows that Amos had two sons and three daughters. Four of his children were under sixteen at the time. No names of his daughters could be found. Amos Paris: Lincoln (County) Probate Records: 14/June/1773 (Amos death)
 f) JMPUSHAW: Much of the lineage attributed to the Pochard/Pushard/Pushor line online is derived from a list created by JMPushaw. This list has no source attribution whatsoever and has multiple problems. Much of the online references are absolutely wrong b/c people just don’t do proper research. They just take what they find for granted.
 g) There is also a George Pushor who died in Fairfield, Somerset, Maine; 8/Aug/1820. This is a different person.
 h) Parish Registers; Also see: Geneanet.org $$
 j) Family histories and family trees are not reliable sources unless they contain reliable authoritative source documentation.
 k) The Pushor family is descended from Jean Pochard, a French Huguenot who arrived in 1751 with his wife and four sons from Chenerbie, Haute-Soane in eastern France near the Swiss border. They arrived in Boston on the ship Pricilla, which sailed from Rotterdam, Netherlands, and subsequently proceeded to Frankfort Plantation (Dresden) in Maine where they settled. Dresden was originally settled as Frankfort Plantation, later became Pownalborough and changed to Dresden in 1794. The present towns of Alna and Wiscasset were originally part of Pownalboro.
 l) Some of the family moved to Fairfield in 1775 and then to the Pittsfield area around 1814. The inability of the English speaking settlers to spell the name correctly resulted in a variety of phonetic variations e.g. Pushard, Pushaw, Pushor, and Pushan just to name a few.
 m) There is a copy of the land map of Pownalboro showing the plots owned by the original settlers, in ‘The History of Dresden, Maine" by Charles Edwin Allen (1931), FHL Books; Page 210; Land grants were made in 1753; page192.
 n) There are three women named Elizabeth Pochard born in Clairegoutte, Haute-Soane, FR in 1729/1730, none of which are related to Jean Pochard.
 p) There is some disagreement as to the spelling of the name of the wife of Nicholas.
