John Heal appears in the Lincolnville, Maine; Births-Deaths-Marriages book published in 1985 by Isabel Maresh and Jackie Watts.

John is named as the son of Isaac and Ruth Heal and he was born at Edgecomb. On 2 Sept 1779 he married Marcy/Mercy/Mary Dunton, daughter of John and Abigail Dunton. She is named Marcy in this record, and is noted as being born in Georgetown.

Some of the children born to John and Marcy are noted in the same entry. They are Charlotte Heal, born "Dec 22d 1880"; Abigail Heal, born Jan 31st 1803; Isaac Heal, born July 20th 1804; and Abial Heal, born "Feby 12th 1806".

There are several men named John Heal from Maine who served in the War of 1812. One John Heal who served in Reed's Regiment can be ruled out as his wife was Margaret Mahoney and the death date is incorrect. None of the other John Heals have a pension file or personal information, so it is not clear if our John Heal served in the War of 1812.

John's sister Deborah (born 5 Sept 1781 at Edgecomb) married Elijah Young, born 30 Nov 1769 at Briston. John's sister Elizabeth (born 22 April 1784) married Stephen Young on 26 Nov 1800. Elijah and Stephen were brothers and the children of Gideon Young and Jemima Cilley.

Gravesite Details

The stone has the top right corner missing, so only part of the name John appears. The death date and age are correct for this man. The stone is leaning on a stone wall about halfway back on the right from where you enter the cemetery.
