Notes:
a) There are two different dates listed for the death of Charles Jr. One lists it as 29/Dec/1820 (8)
and the other as 30/Oct/1821 (1). Both state that he "fell from the mast of the schooner Palestine".
b) Mary Jane Pushard: Grave marker shows DOB as 15/Dec/1818. Reference to Mary as her mother is
obviously wrong.
c) Be careful not to confuse Nancy with the daughter of Abraham and Hannah (Groves) Pushard, (dob:
1810), or George and Polly (Reed) Pushard, (dob: 1808).
d) There is also a Charles "Puchard", b: 1777, married (1801) to Peggy Lively; Fairfield, Kennebec,
Maine. FHL Film 7595545, Image 104 (In 1801, Fairfield was part of Kennebec County; today it is part of Somerset
County.) Lineage: Charles "Puchard" < Abraham Pochard < Jean Pochard
d2) It should also be noted that a Charles Jean Pochard married Martha Houdlette, b: 1738, as shown in
'The History of Dresden, Maine" by Charles Edwin Allen (1931), pg. 144. FHL Books: 226223, This appears to be a
different Pochard line. FHL ID: L2BV-GXF, Charles Estienne Houdlette Lineage: Martha Houdlette < Charles Estienne
Houdlette
e) Sarah Pushard went to live with her daughter Martha (Elkins) in Boston, probably after the marriage
of Lucinda. Harvey Elkins, his wife Martha (Pushard) and her mother, Sarah (Givens) Pushard, are all buried in the
Central Burial Ground on Boston Common. (22, 28, 37)
f) The maiden name of Sarah (Givens) Pushard frequently appears online as Grimes. The Grimes
attribution is in fact incorrect.
h) There are also a lot of Pushard / Pushor families in Fairfield, Pittsfield, Pittston and
Georgetown, Maine.
m) There are at least four females named Nancy in this immediate family.
n) Grave marker names Elizabeth Towle as daughter of Charles and Sara Pushard.
p) FHL Film 10820 (Dresden VR; Original hand written format; FHL Film 101042484: Typed format; Index
POCHARD (page 421). FHL Film 101042471 (Alna, Maine)
q) See Family Group Sheet for Abraham Tourtelotte Jnr. and Lucinda Pushaw.
r) John (Death Record): Birth place wrong; also birthplace of father wrong.
Lineage:
Charles Pushard < George Pochard < Jean Pochard < Nicholas Pochard < Nicholas Pochard < Jean Pochard < Nicholas Pochard < Pierre Pochard
