From Ancestry.com board: I have just recently been doing research on my mother's side. Her grandmother (my gr-grandmother) was Lizzie Field illegitimate daughter of Georgia Ann Decoven who lived in Brunswick, Maine. Georgia Ann married William C. Berry eight years after Lizzie's birth and Lizzie took the Berry surname. She was known as Lizzie Field Berry. Lizzie married Mason Watts, had three children (one of which was my grandmother, Grace), and died giving birth to a stillborn male baby on 25 Nov 1904. The former Decoven family home is on Mere Point Road in Brunswick and named the Decoven Farm. I don't know who lives there now.
