Does anyone know who George T. Ulmer’s father and grandparents were in Maine? Was he the son of Philip Ulmer who was born June 19, 1793 in Lincolnville, Maine? Was George Thomas Ulmer’s mother named Mary W. Thomas? Were his grandparents Major Philip M. Ulmer and his wife Christiana who raised their family in Lincolnville and in their later years moved away from the seacoast to the back-country area near present-day Belmont, not far from Belfast, Maine?
