BACKGROUND

The Eveleth Ancestry of Kathleen Kilgallon Eveleth - This geneology ends with Jason Scott Eveleth (father of Kate)

7. ISAAC EVELETH, Jr., the eldest son, was born in New Gloucester 14 Oct., 1791. He married 1 Nov. 1821 Joanna Lake, who was born illegitimately with the surname Haskell and was adopted by the Lake family (30 March, 1800). Isaac, by occupation a cordwainer, settled settled in Danville, Me., where he died 24 March, 1871. Joanna survived him by twenty years, dying in 1891. One grandchild reports "that she was a courageous, stouthearted woman… and carried most of the family responsibilities. Isaac, I take it, was not too ambitious and besides was somewhat of a rummy…" The children of Isaac and Joanna (Lake) Eveleth were:
