In 1999 the Philbrick & Philbrook Family Association acquired a tin-type photograph (far right) of a woman from the 1800’s identified on the back as “B.W. Philbrook, 21 Camden St., Rockland, Maine.”  She was tentatively identified as Mrs. Benjamin Woodbury Philbrook.  Since then, P.P.F.A. member Frank Rose has positively identified the photograph as his 2^nd Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Weed Maddocks (Philbrook).  He had a photograph of the Philbrook house on 21 Camden that may have been taken in the 1920’s or early 30’s.  Frank was gracious enough to contribute copies of these other two photographs to the Association. 

BENJAMIN WOODBURY⁸ PHILBROOK  (AMBROSE⁷, JOSEPH⁶, WILLIAM⁵, JONATHAN⁴, WILLIAM³, THOMAS² PHILBRICK, THOMAS¹) was born March 04, 1821 in Thomaston, Knox Co., Maine, and died May 22, 1900 in Rockland, Knox Co. Maine.  He married ELIZABETH W. MADDOX on August 29, 1848 in Belfast, Waldo Co., Maine.  She was born October 17, 1829 in Belfast, Waldo Co., Maine, and died February 14, 1889 in Belfast, Waldo Co., Maine.
