Hi Mary,

I found a little but (very little) information on Antrim(s). Also, I didn't
find any information about them on Criehaven Island, ME.
What I found is below: The Thomas Antrim family was found on FamilySearch
but it was the only family I found that was from Salem, MA.

here that pertains.)

Essex, MA m 24 May 1630 Salisbury Wiltshire, England

Children:

Hope this helps a little. It was interesting (being from Maine) to read
about Criehaven Island.
