  NOTES:

  The Pushor family is descended from Jean Pochard, a French Huguenot who arrived in
  1751 with his wife and four sons from Chenerbie, Haute-Soane in eastern France near the
  Swiss border. They arrived in Boston on the ship Pricilla, which sailed from Rotterdam,
  Netherlands, and then proceeded directly to Frankfort Plantation (Dresden) in Maine
  where they settled. Some of the family moved to Fairfield in 1775 and then to the
  Pittsfield area around 1814. The inability of the English speaking settlers to spell the
  name correctly resulted in a variety of phonetic variations e.g. Pushard, Pushaw, Pushor,
  and Pushan just to name a few.

  Dresden was originally settled as Frankfort Plantation, later became Pownalborough and
  changed to Dresden in 1794. There is some disagreement as to the spelling of the name of
  the wife of Nicholas. There is a copy of the land map of Pownalboro showing the plots
  owned by the original settlers, in ‘The History of Dresden Maine’ by Allen.
