    Is the Kennebec potato named after the Kennebec River?

    Question #123093. Asked by serpa. (Aug 16 11 11:08 PM)


    gracie3

    		When Stephen Titcomb and his family got to their lot they found that the corn crib had been destroyed by bears. His potatoes and turnips had kept well and the settlers used the potatoes for seed that year.


    It looks like Stephen Titcomb had a lot to do with the farming around Kennebac river.
