She is a direct descendent of Miles Standish. Her grandfather, Miles Standish York and grandmother, Hazel York, lived in Old Orchard Beach Maine. There is a cemetary with York family members in Yarmouth ( i think that is the town) Anyone have any ideas to help me? Thank you   Wayne Brooking (wbrooking) Member Username: wbrooking Post Number: 6 Registered: 1-2010 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 6:55 am:    I would find it odd if they lived in Old Orchard Beah to be buried in Yarmouth as the two are not really close together. I checked the 1850 census and found a Miles S York living in Yarmouth. There is also a Miles S York living in Cumberland, Maine listed in the 1900 Census. Which one of these do you think you are looking for?   Wayne Brooking (wbrooking) Member Username: wbrooking Post Number: 7 Registered: 1-2010 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 7:09 am:    I did some further checking and found Miles and Hazel York living on Pleasant St in Portland in 1920. The two most likely cemeteries for Portland would be Evergreen or Forest City. You can call (207) 797-4597 to check with the city about buriel information there. Let me know if you need anything else   Brenda Hensley (mainelygenealogy) Member Username: mainelygenealogy Post Number: 8 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - 3:24 pm:    http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/Passengers/passengers.php This is a link for Mayflower Descendants Genealogies   Brenda Hensley (mainelygenealogy) Member Username: mainelygenealogy Post Number: 9 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - 3:28 pm:    I did some checking and your cousin is not only a descendant of Miles Standish, but of John Alden also.
