 INTRODUCTION 
 
 Harpswell is the south-easterly town of Cumberland 
 County. It consists of a peninsular nine miles in length, 
 extending south-westward, with a parallel line of islands on 
 each side. These are known as Harpswell Neck, and, on the 
 east, Great, or Sebascodigan Island, Orr's Island, Bailey's 
 Island, and numerous smaller ones. Between the peninsular 
 and the islands first named is the long Harpswell Harbor. 
 On the west side of the peninsular is Middle Bay. These two 
 bodies of water at their northern extremity approach so 
 near to each other that near the Brunswick line the peninsu- 
 lar is little more than forty-five rods wide. Great Island, 
 the largest of the islands, and the most easterly part of the 
 town, is separated from West Bath by New Meadows River. 
 The three larger islands have their greatest length nearly 
 north and south, and succeed each other in the same direc- 
 tion. The two first are connected with each other, and the 
 first with the main land by bridges. Each is penetrated 
 from the north and from the south by many harbors and 
 inlets, and their surfaces are varied by hill, valley and forest. 
 
6 HISTORICAL. 
 
 Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe spent many summer months 
 upon these islands, making the middle one of the line the 
 scenery ol her delightful story, "The Pearl ot Orr's Island." 
 She says that the scenery of Harps well is "of more varied 
 and singular beauty than can ordinarily be found on the 
 shores of any land whatever." At a distance of about four 
 miles from the railroad station at Brunswick, with which 
 Harpswell is connected by stage, "the traveler crosses an 
 arm of the sea, and comes upon the first of the interlacing 
 group of islands which beautifies the shore. A ride across 
 this island is a constant succession of pictures whose wild 
 and solitary beauty entirely distances all power of descrip- 
 tion. The magnificence of the evergreen forests, the rich 
 intermingling ever and anon of groves of birch, beech and 
 oak, in picturesque knots and tufts, as if set for effect by 
 some skillful landscape gardener, produce a sort of strange, 
 dreamy wonder; while the sea, breaking forth on the right 
 hand and on the left of the road into the most romantic 
 glimpses, seems to flash and glitter like some strange gem 
 which every moment shows itself through the framework of 
 a strange setting." Ragged Island, which lies broad off in 
 the ocean east of Bailey's Island, is supposed to be the "Elm 
 Island" of Rev. Elijah Kellogg's stories. 
 
 The Neck affords many attractive points for summer 
 sojourn, especially at the southern part, and many of her 
 rocky shores and islets are now studded with grand hotels 
 and the beautiful summer cottages of those who annually 
 visit these historic and romantic scenes to enjoy their cool- 
 ing ocean breezes and majestic scenery. On the western side, 
 
HISTORICAL. 7 
 
 about midway the length of the Neck, is Lookout Point, 
 a small, abrupt, rocky promontory pointing- north, and en- 
 closing a pebbly cove. On the south side of the point the 
 shore is high for some distance, and of perpendicular rock, 
 over whose edge the tall grasses wave, dropping their blooms 
 into the foamy tide below. A valuable mineral spring is 
 situated on Bailey's Island. Steamboat lines closely con- 
 nect its several village hamlets with Portland, and with 
 each other, and a trip through the many beautiful bays, 
 straits and inlets of Harpswell affords to the pleasure 
 seeker one of the most attractive outings to be had on the 
 coast of this most fascinating state. 
 
HISTORICAL. 
 
 INDIAN HISTORY 
 
 The race of Red Men which formerly roamed the wilds 
 of the territory now incorporated within the state of Maine, 
 was divided, as most authorities state, into two nations, 
 the Etechemins and the Abenakis. The former nation occu- 
 pied the region east, and the latter that west of the Penob- 
 scot River. The Abenakis nation was sub-divided into four 
 principal tribes as follows: the Sokokis, of the Saco river 
 valley; the Auasagunticooks, who occupied the entire valley 
 of the Androscoggin River; the Cauibas, who dwelt upon the 
 Kennebec, from its tide waters to its source; and the Wawe- 
 nocks, who resided between the Sagadahoc and the River St. 
 George. 
 
 The Pejepscot Indians were probably a sub-tribe of the 
 Anasagunticooks, which tribe, at the advent of the whites, 
 was a very numerous, powerful, and warlike tribe. They 
 had customary places of resort, if not permanent places of 
 residence, at Brunswick Falls, Maquoit, and Mair Point. It 
 is now considered probable from the remains and relics 
 found there, that the latter point was the place of one of 
 their villages in the sixteenth century. 
 
 These aboriginal inhabitants were generally friendly to 
 the new arrivals until about the time of the breaking out of 
 King Philip's War. They soon, however, became extremely 
 and inveteratelv hostile to the whites who had settled upon 
 their domains, and until their final extermination by dis- 
 
HISTORICAL. 9 
 
 ease and by the aggressions of the settlers, they continued to 
 exhibit their animosity by frequent attacks upon the homes 
 and isolated settlements within the territory of the Pejep- 
 scot proprietors. The most celebrated sagamores of this 
 tribe were Darumkin, Wornmbo, and Kankamagus, the first 
 two of whom, together with four others set their mark upon 
 the deed to Richard Wharton in 1684. 
 
 The animosity of the natives culminated in an outbreak 
 in 1675, when war was commenced in the Plymouth Colony. 
 About three months later, in September of the same year, 
 hostilities commenced at Pejepscot. Pillaging parties of 
 natives attacked the settlements, and drove the settlers 
 from their lands, destroying their homes. It is said that 
 during the first three months of the war as many as eighty 
 persons were slain between the Piscataqua and Kennebec; 
 it is not known whether any of the settlers on the Pejepscot 
 tract were killed. Peace was concluded with the Indians in 
 1678, and lasted just ten years, when King William's War 
 was begun. A fort was now erected in Brunswick, by Gov. 
 Andros, and was garrisoned by a force of troops under 
 Anthony Brockhold. Two years later, 1790, this fort was 
 taken by the savages, and the soldiers and settlers held cap- 
 tives. An expedition was sent from Massachusetts to re- 
 capture the fort, and to release the captives. This was led by 
 Col. Benj. Church, who landed at Maquoit, and proceded to 
 the fort, which he found deserted. They then marched to 
 an Indian fort on the Androscoggin, which they captured, 
 and released some prisoners. In September the following 
 year auother expedition was sent from Massachusetts, land- 
 
10 HISTORICAL. 
 
 ing at Mnqnoit. They visited Fort Andros, but finding: it 
 deserted they immediately returned to Maquoit. While re- 
 embarking they were assaulted by a strong; force of Indians 
 who had been watching- them. In this skirmish Capt. Sher- 
 burne, of Portsmouth, N. H., was killed. The war lasted 
 some eight years but there was no further skirmishing in 
 this vicinity. Probably the settlers had all left. A Treaty 
 of Peace made at Pemaquid in 1693, was ratified by the 
 commissioners from Massachusetts and the Sagamores of 
 the several tribes in Maine, at Mair Point, Jan. 7, 1699. 
 
 The peace thus concluded lasted but four years, but the 
 next war, known as Queen Anne's War, did not effect theset- 
 tlers in this vicinity, if, indeed, there were any. After the 
 close of this war, 1713, settlers again took courage, and 
 soon settlements were started where those begun earlier had 
 been deserted. The Pejepscot Company was formed in 1714, 
 following which date, up to 1722, many were induced to 
 take up claims on the Proprietors' lands. 
 
 The fourth Indian war, called Lovewell's War, com- 
 menced in this vicinity, June 13, 1722. A party of sixty 
 Indians, appeared in twenty boats in Merrymeeting Ba} r , on 
 the north side, probably near Pleasant, or Fulton's Point. 
 They captured nine entire families, but released all except 
 five men — Messrs. Hamilton, Hanson, Trescott, Love and 
 Edj^ar—whom they detained as hostages for the safe return 
 of four Indians in the hands of the English at Boston. In 
 June or July of this year, they made an attack on Bruns- 
 wick, which they set fire to and destroyed. After their work 
 of destruction was accomplished they repaired to a dwelling 
 
HISTORICAL. 11 
 
 on Fish-House Hill, for purposes of revelry, but they were 
 soou put to flight by a chain shot from Fort George. This 
 fort had been constructed in 1715 by the Pejepscot Proprie- 
 tors, for the protection of those who should settle on their 
 lands. It was a stone fort, and stood near the siteof theold 
 fort. The Indians took to their boats and went with their 
 captives to Pleasant Point. Col. John Harmon, who was 
 then stationed at Arrowsie, saw the fire of the burning vil- 
 lage, and concluded that the village had been attacked by 
 Iudians. Without waiting for further word, — which had 
 been sent, however, by Capt, Gyles, — manned two whale- 
 boats, and accompanied by Major Moody, proceeded with 
 muffled oars up the river. It was night when he entered 
 Merry meeting Bay. Perceiving the fires of the Indians on 
 Pleasant Point, he noiselessly approached and landed. 
 Ascending the banks he found a large number of Indians 
 king before their fires, all sleeping soundly, fatigued with 
 the work of the day, and its subsequent revelry. His men 
 immediately arranged themselves and fired into them, kill- 
 ing sixteen or eighteen. They took some prisoners, though 
 a few of the party escaped. On their return to the shore 
 they discovered the body of Moses Eaton, whom the savages 
 had cruelly tortured and killed. This attack upon Bruns- 
 wick and vicinity, is thought to have been a direct retalia- 
 tion for the attack made the preceeding year upon Norridge- 
 wock, by Colonel Westbrook. 
 
 This was probably the most bloody war to the people in 
 this section. Dozens of settlers and members of their fami- 
 lies were killed in the vicinity of Merrymeeting Bay, Harps- 
 
12 HISTORICAL. 
 
 well, and Royal's River. 
 
 After the ratification of a treaty in 172G, peace was 
 again enjoyed until 1745, when the fifth war was begun. 
 This was the outgrowth of the existing war between Eng- 
 land, France and Spain. The forts along the coast were 
 strengthened, and re-garrisoned, and block-houses, "all of 
 massive timber," were constructed in Brunswick, Topsham, 
 and Harpswell. A block house at Maquoit, was under the 
 command of William Woodside, with a company of men. 
 Fourteen men scouted from New Marblehead to Brunswick, 
 and ten from Topsham to Richmond fort. In 1745, a. call 
 was made for men to serve in the expedition to Louisburg. 
 This expedition was very popular in this vicinity, and many 
 persons enlisted, including some of the principal and most 
 promising young men in these towns. Twenty-five or thirty 
 went from Brunswick, and as many more from Harpswell, 
 and about the same numberfrom Topsham. The Harpswell 
 soldiers were under the command of Richard Jaques, who 
 had shot Sebastian Rasle, at Norridgewock. Much alarm 
 was felt for the safety of this settlement, and many deprida- 
 tions were committed by the Indian in ambush, or in small 
 bands. Thiswarlasted four years, and eaused much destruc- 
 tion and suffering in all the settlements along the coast. 
 
 The French, or sixth Indian War, which was the last of 
 the series of Indian depridations against the settlers, lasted 
 from 1754 to 1760. Hostilities commenced in this vicinity 
 May 9, 1756. On that day a party of Indians assembled on 
 the highlands of Topsham, concerted their plans, and agreed 
 to meet there on their return. They then divided into two 
 
HISTOEICAL. 13 
 
 parties. One party was to go to Flying Point, and the 
 other to Maquoit, Middle Bay and New Meadows. The sec- 
 ond party went to Maquoit, where they skulked around 
 awhile and then went to Middle Bay. In the alternoon, 
 while the Indians lay concealed in the bushes near Smith's 
 Brook, three men — Abijah Young and John and Richard 
 Starbird,returniiigfrorn a meeting at New Meadows — passed 
 by. These men, probably, belonged to the force which was 
 then scouting from St. George to Maquoit. They were well 
 armed, but were so surprised and frightened when the Indians 
 jumped from ambush and fired at them that they dropped 
 their guns and ran. Young was wounded and carried off a 
 prisoner. The other party appeared Sunday, at daylight, at 
 the house ot Thomas Means, at Flying Point. This was a 
 fortified house, but the Indians battered dowu the door and 
 effected an entrance. They shot Mr. Means and his young- 
 est child, which was in its mother's arms, the same ball 
 wounding her; and carried off Mrs. Means' sister a prisoner. 
 The parties met again in Topsham, as previously agreed 
 upon, and proceeded to Quebec with their prisoners. Other 
 sharp engagements were had before peace was finally declared, 
 which ended the long period of danger and bloodshed. 
 
 There were but few garrisons in Harpswell, as from its 
 local situation it was not subject to assaults by the Indians. 
 There was a garrison, or block house, on the north end of 
 Bailey's Island, at the narrows, between Garrison Cove and 
 the main bay, within twenty feet of the shore. About 1764, 
 Joseph Orr built a large block house near the middle of Orr's 
 Island. There was also a block house situated on the Neck, 
 
14 HISTORICAL. 
 
 but we are now unable to say when it was built, or by whom. 
 This was taken down by Daniel Randall and erected as a 
 storehouse near his dwelling 1 . In 1822 it was again taken 
 down and rebuilt as a dwelling. It is very probable that 
 there were other block houses on the Neck, and also on Great 
 Island, but we have no further account of such. 
 
 EARLY SETTLEMENT 
 
 Merriconeag Neck, now Harpswell Neck, and Sebascodi- 
 gan Island, were purchased ot the Indians in about the year 
 1659, by Nicholas Shapleigh of Kittery. The price paid for 
 the deed was "a considerable sum of wampumpeag, several 
 guns, and a parcel of tobacco." The island was settled prob- 
 bly about that date, by Francis Small and wife. Elizabeth, 
 whose child was the first born of English paients, on the 
 island. Mr. Small was from Kittery, and was a tenant 
 under Col. Shapleigh. The Neck also had several settlers 
 about this time, but all were driven off by the Indians at the 
 beginning of King Philip's War, in 1675. 
 
 Richard Potts settled as earty as 1672 and probably a 
 year or two earlier, on what was known as New Damariscove 
 Island. In 1673 he owned and lived upon the point which 
 still bears his name, at the extremity of Harpswell Neck. 
 
HISTORICAL. 15 
 
 Nicholas Cole settled on Harpswell Neck previous to 1691, 
 for on that year he sought to force a claim under an old title 
 of Harvard College; this, however was unsuccessful. 
 
 In 1683, Shapleigh, finding his property almost worth- 
 less on account of the Indian troubles, sold the Neck and 
 islnnd to Richard Wharton, of Boston. After the sale of the 
 island the Indians continued to hold possession for the pur- 
 pose of catching fish, seal and porpoise, thus preventing 
 any further settlements in that locality for some years. In 
 1702, Benjamin Marston got possession of Potts estate pre- 
 viously mentioned, and the islands near the point, and is 
 thought to have made a settlement there, but s\e have no 
 evidence to prove this. 
 
 A few other conflicting claims seem to have been made, 
 but were either found to be null and void, or were bought 
 up, until most of the laud now incorporated within the town 
 of Harpswell, and that which Thomas Purchase had settled 
 in Brunswick, came into the hands of Richard "Wharton. He 
 died in England in 1693. His estate was administered upon 
 by a Mr. Savage, and a large tract of land sold to a com- 
 pany of Boston men who termed themselves the Pejepscot 
 Proprietors. This tract contained all the land in Harpswell 
 except a few islands, all of Brunswick, and much of that in 
 Topsham, and, as was finally determined, embraced the 
 Androscoggin valley up as far as Leeds, on both sides of the 
 river. On a document, dated around 1814, although the 
 date is uncertain, we find there were then but two settlers 
 living on Merricoueag Neck. These were Richard Potts and 
 John Damarell. 
 
16 HISTOEICAL. 
 
 The Pejepscot Pro])rietors at once began to make settle- 
 ments within their new posseesions. The company was 
 formed in 1814, but it was not until three years later that 
 any action was taken to layout the territory on Merriconeag 
 Neck. We find that at a meeting of the proprietors June 17, 
 1717, it was "Voted that a mile and a half upwards from 
 Pott's Neck, and the other prongs of Merryconeag Neck, be 
 left on the lower end of said Merryconeag Neck, for a town, 
 or fishing settlement, the rest of said neck to be divided into 
 eight parts equal in Front, to run across said Neck, iu par- 
 allel lines, from the North West to the South East side, 
 according to the bearing of the said land, the Lowest Lot to 
 be No. 1." In 1731, Thiueas Jones was employed to survey 
 the lands and make plans. He reported the area of Merri- 
 coneag Neck, 4,670, and Sebascodigan Island, 5,790 acres. 
 
 The earlist transfer of land in Harpswell after the forma- 
 tion of the Pejepscot Company, of which we have found any 
 record, was in 1720. On May 20, of this year, Nicholas Cole 
 and Samuel Littlefield, of Wells, deeded to Samuel Boone, of 
 Kingston, R. I., oue half of Merriconeag Neck, one half of 
 Great Chebeague Island and one half of Great Island. 
 Boone is not, however, known to have settled in Harpswell. 
 In the year 1727, several new families moved to Harpswell, 
 and settled upon the Neck. Thomas Westbrook, one of the 
 proprietors, deeded to Col. Johnson Harmon, formerly of 
 York, one 241 h part of 2000 acres of land on the Neck. In 
 1741 Col. Harmon deeded all the land in his possession on 
 the Neck — and he had become proprietor of much of it— to 
 his son, Joseph Harmon, of York. Previous to this, Col. 
 
HISTORICAL. 17 
 
 Harmon had sold John Stover fifty acres. Moses Getchell 
 and Gideon Conner also held deeds of land at the upper end 
 of the Neck, and probably settled soon after the date of their 
 deeds, May 17, 1741. William Alexander came to Harpswell 
 probably as early as 1737 from Topsham where his father, 
 a Scotch-Irish emigrant, had settled in 1719, and ten years, 
 later Alexander Wilson moved into the same neighborhood. 
 He was a brother-in-law to Alexander, and his ancestral his- 
 tory ran like that of his neighbor. From the^e two early 
 pioneers sprang many of the noble men and women who 
 have won for Harpswell her high standing as an honest, 
 thrifty and patriotic community. Near these families was 
 the sturdy McNess household, their house standing where 
 that of the Rev. Elijah Kellogg stood for many years and 
 which qm always called "Hallowed Ground. " 
 
 In 1742, Joseph and Clement Orr, of Pemoquid,purchasd 
 a tract of land at the northerly end of Men icon eag Neck. 
 In 1743, Richard Jaques, of North Yarmouth, bought 100 
 acres of land on Little Sebascodigan, now Orr's Island; it is 
 therefore believed that he was the first purchaser of land on 
 this island, though tradition says that one Fitzgerald was 
 the first occupant here. This whole island afterwards came 
 into possession of the Hon. William Tailer, ot Dot cluster, 
 Mass., and of Hon. Elisha Cook, of Boston, whose heirs sold 
 it in 1748 to Joseph Orr. Joseph and his brother, Clement 
 Orr both moved onto the island and constructed a garrison 
 house. 
 
 We have shown some of the early transfers of land titles, 
 and a few of the early settlers. Let us now consider the 
 
 H2 
 
18 HISTORICAL. 
 
 ancestry of a few of the more prominent families which have 
 settled and remained in Harpswell. We have already men- 
 tioned the Alexanders and the Wilsons. Just across the bay 
 from the Alexanders, on Great Island, was the home of the 
 Ewings, a family closely connected with those above men- 
 tioned. Joseph Ewing was. perhaps, the most influential per- 
 sonagein the early town's affairs, and to him and his brother, 
 Alexander, were given some of the most important and deli- 
 cate matters of town and church to perform. Joseph and 
 Clement Orr were settled just down the bay from theEwings. 
 From them this beautiful island of world-wide reputation 
 received its name. With the Orr's came to America and to 
 Harpswell. the Skolfields. This family has ever been identi- 
 fied with the interests and progress of all good measures in 
 the tow T n. The Skolfields located in the northern part of the 
 town, near the Brunswick line. In the neighborhood of the 
 old Congregational church Walter Merryman settled and 
 reared up a family which has now many noble and worthy 
 descendants scattered throughout this town and elsewhere. 
 Near the Orrs lived Michael Sinnett who was taken to the 
 island by Joseph Orr. Both Mr. Sinnett and Mr. Merryman 
 had been kidnapped and brought to America early in 1700. 
 Of other Harpswell settlers from across the sea were the 
 Dunnings. The American ancestor of this family, Andrew 
 Dunning, with his wife, Susan Bond, and five sons, came to 
 Georgetown in 1717, from Ashburton, England. William, 
 the eldest son, settled in York. He left two sons, Andrew 
 and Benjamin, the former marrying Hannah Shepard of 
 York, by whom he had twelve children; and the latter mar- 
 
HISTORICAL. 19 
 
 ried Elizabeth Ewing, daughter of Joseph Ewing, of Harps- 
 well, b}^ whom he had nine children. Although Andrew Dun- 
 ning did not settle in Harpswell until 1758, and his brother, 
 Benjamin, not until some years later, both were given places 
 of honor in the town. Andrew was elected thefiist town 
 clerk, and filled that office for 25 years. Benjamin was over- 
 seer of Bowdoin College for several years. 
 
 Many of the early settlers here came from the old town 
 of York. Among those who date their aneest rv back to this 
 town, are the Webbers, Stovers, Bookers, the Nathan Adams 
 family, Toothakers, Aliens, Jaques, Thompsons and others, 
 whom our brief sketch does not allow us to treat separately. 
 The Randalls and Woodworths were from Scituate, Mass. 
 The Curtises, Baileys, Barstows, Sylvesters and Gardners 
 were from Hanover, Mass. Other representatives of Massa- 
 chusetts were: Rev. Francis Eaton, the first settled pastor 
 in Harpswell and his family, the Blakes, Bishops, Tans. 
 Martins, Douglasses, Haskells. and the \Y vers of Orr's Island. 
 The Bibbers and Johnsons were descended from English 
 ancestors; the Pinkhams and Halls came from Dover. N. H. 
 
 Of the settlers on Great Island, the Snows came from 
 Cape Cod, and the Smalls from Truro, about 1750; and the 
 Ridleys, Puringtons and Riches from the latter town. Paul 
 Raymond and the Coombs ancestors were from Dorchester, 
 Mass. Rev. Samuel Veazie came from Nantucket in 1767. 
 
 These are some of the names so often met within the 
 borders of this honorable town; and in this town and section 
 of the state, the descendants of these noble and devoted fam- 
 ilies have developed a hardihood, character and true moral 
 
20 HISTORICAL. 
 
 worth which is but the natural result of the noble manhood 
 and fearless courage which ever influenced and moulded the 
 characters of their ancestry. 
 
 INCORPORATION 
 
 The place formerly know as Westcustogo was, on ?ep- 
 tember 22, 1680, incorporated as a plantation by the name 
 of North Yarmouth. In 1781 the limits of North Yar- 
 mouth were determined by order of the General Court. In 
 1733 this plantation was incorporated into a town, and two 
 years later a committee was appointed to run the town lines. 
 The northeastern line was determined to run overMaquoit 
 Bay, extending in a south-easterly course across Mare Point, 
 Middle Bay, Merriconeag Neck. Sebascodigan Island, "to an 
 inlet of water culled the Basin, thence crossing another part 
 of said island to a small island called Egg Island in Qua- 
 haug River, thence crossing another part of said island run- 
 ning a S. E. course across the bay to Small Point:" it then 
 extended to Hunnewell's Cove, and on to the open sea at 
 the mouth of the Kennebec River. It will be seen from the 
 above that the greater part of the present town of Harps- 
 well was included in the ancient town of North Yarmouth, 
 of which town it formed a parish. 
 
HISTORICAL. 21 
 
 In the year 1740 Merriconeag Neck was annexed to 
 Brunswick, but the following year the act was repealed, ex- 
 cept in relation to church matters. Further attempts were 
 made by the inhabitants of the neck, and of Brunswick, to 
 have this territory annexed to the latter town, but, in 1749, 
 it was made a "distinct and separate precinct" and in 1758, 
 an act was passed to incorporate a separate distiict by the 
 name of Harpswell. 
 
 ACT OF INCORPORATION. 
 
 "An Act for incorporating a neck oi land called Merri- 
 coneag Neck, and certain Islands adjacent, in the County of 
 York into a Separate District by the name of . 
 
 '• Whereas thelnhabitants of Merriconeag Neck and the 
 Islands adjacent have humbly represented to this Court the 
 difficulties and great inconveniences they labor under in 
 their present situation, and have earnestly requested that 
 they may be invested with powers, privileges and immuni- 
 ties of a District, 
 
 "Therefore, be it enacted by the Governor, Council, and 
 House of Representatives, that the said Neck of Land be- 
 ginning where Brunswick line intersects the upper end of 
 said Neck which is four rods above the Narrows of said Neck 
 commonly called the Carrying Place, from thence including 
 the whole of said Neck down to the Sea, together with the 
 Islands adjacent hereafter mentioned, viz: Great Sebascodi- 
 gan Island, alias Shapleigh's Island, Little Sebascodigan 
 Island, and Wills Island lying to the Southeast of said Neck; 
 Birch Island, Whites Island, and the two Goose Islands 
 
22 HISTORICAL. 
 
 lying on the north west Bide of said Neck and Damariscove 
 Islands lying at the lower end of said Neck, be and hereby 
 are incorporated into a separate District by the name of 
 Harpswell. 
 
 "And the Inhabitants of said Neck of Land and Islands 
 shall be and hereby are invested with all the powers, privi- 
 leges and immunities that the several towns in this Province 
 by law do or may enjoy, that of sending a Representative 
 only excepted. 
 
 "And be it further enacted That John Minot, Esq. be 
 and hereby is empowered to issue his warrant to some prin- 
 cipal Inhabitants of the said district requiring him in his 
 Majesty's name to warn and notify the said Inhabitants 
 qualified to vote in town affairs to meet together at such 
 time and place in said District as by said Warrant shall be 
 appointed to choose such officers as the law directs and may 
 be uecessary to manage the affairs of said District. 
 
 "And the said Inhabitants being so met shall be and 
 hereby are empowered to choose officers accordingly." 
 
 This bill was signed by the governor of the Common- 
 wealth of Massachusetts, T. Pownal, January 25, 1758. 
 The name adopted is not known to have been used prior to 
 the Incorporation. By whom it was first suggested, or why 
 selected is not known. Rev. Mr. Kellogg stated that it was 
 selected by the General Court. There is a Harpswell in 
 Lincolnshire, England, whence the name was probably bor- 
 rowed. 
 
 The first recorded meeting of the district was held 
 March 30, 1758. At this meeting Captain John Stover was 
 
HISTOBICAL. 23 
 
 chosen moderator; Andrew Dunning;, clerk; David Curtis,

 Lieut. Lemuel Turner, district treasurer; Elijah Douglas and

 Alexander and Joseph Thompson, surveyors of highways; 
 Edward Easters, Thos. McGregor, and Joseph Linscott, 
 fence-viewers; Nathan Adams, James Gardner, and John 
 Snow, hog-reeves: and Elisba Allen, sealer of leather. The 
 district, as stated in the foregoing' act, was invested with all 
 the powers of a corporate town, except that of sending a 
 representative to the Legislature. The first record we find 
 of choosing a representative is under date of May 22, 1770, 
 when "the majority of votes for Mr. Samuel Stanwood as 
 Representative were 20." 
 
 Committees were often appointed ''to settle with North 
 Yarmouth," and to settle up other matters relating to the 
 affairs of the precinct to which the district of Harpswell was 
 successor. 
 
 Under date of 17(55 the town voted to allow Nicholas 
 Pinkham the sum assessed upon his father "for the fine laid 
 on the Quakers as appears by State and Rate Bills, 1760." 
 This is the only instance of fines beiug laid on the Quakers 
 in this vicinity.

 MILITARY MATTERS 
 
 The town of Harpswell is justly entitled to the high 
 esteem of the state and nation for her loyal support of 
 the interests of the American people and of the govern- 
 ment in military affairs. Her settlement was maintained 
 against the savages in many instances, and it was neces- 
 sary for the settlers to defend their homes and protect 
 their families at the point of the bayonet. After so 
 many years of self-defense it is not surprising that they 
 helped whip the Briti-h soldiers at Bunker Hill, Concord and 
 Lexington. Early in the year 1775, a recruiting officer went 
 to Harpswell. but did not meet with much success until his 
 efforts were supplemented by the Bev. Samuel Eaton, who 
 was, during his long pastorate here, considered almost a 
 father to the town. The War-rolls of May, June and July, 
 1 77."), show that there were two brothers went from several 
 Harpswell homes, and from the Johnson home came three. 
 
 We find the following item among the records for the 
 year 1775: "Voted not to fire a gun between Sun Set & Sun 
 Rise except at the enemy or an Alarm on Penalty of Setting 
 in the Stocks One Hour." This item conveys, with other 
 things, some idea of the conditions and feelings then existing 
 in our coast towns, because of the ravages made by the Brit- 
 ish mariners. 
 
 During the year 1776, a picaroon, commanded by one 
 
30 HISTORICAL. 
 
 Harmon, visited an island of Harpswell, which was inhabited 
 by but one family. With a crew of seven men he rifled this 
 family of its effects in the night. Receiving notice of this 
 attack, Capt. Nehemiah Curtis, who had been placed in com- 
 mand of the Harpswell militia, rallied a party and before 
 morning captured the boat and crew, and carrying the lat- 
 ter to Portland, lodged them in jail. Harmon managed, 
 through falsehood, to get at liberty, and immediately went 
 to the same island with alarger vessel and crew. HereCapt. 
 Curtis and his force again met him, and in the skirmish that 
 followed, one of the miscreants was wounded and the others 
 hurriedly withdrew. 
 
 Several of the young men of this town, or near by, were 
 engaged in the service as privateers, many sailing on the 
 "Sea Flower," under Captain Tracy. Of these men were 
 John Black, Capt. John Campbell, James Dunning, Wm. 
 Hunt, William Reed, John Skolfield and David, David, Jr., 
 Eben, Samuel and William Stanwood. This ship sailed from 
 theharbor at Newbury port and was never again heard from. 
 The "Sturdy Beggar," another privateersman bearing John 
 Reed, Thomas Wyer and perhaps others from this locality, 
 met with a similar fate. Others in the privateer service 
 were Abner Bishop, Elisha, Isaac and John Snow, Marl- 
 borough Sylvester, Abraham and Isaac Toothaker and 
 Josiah Totman.

 WAR OF 1812 
 
 The two infantry companies oi Harpswell, organized 
 about 1776, were commanded, in 1812, by David Johnson, 
 captain, and Peleg Curtis, lieutenant of the Neck Company; 
 and Stephen Snow, captain, and Paul Snow, lieutenant of the 
 Islands Company. The only fort ever erected in Harpswell was 
 built at theentrance to New Meadows River, in 1812. This was 
 asimpleearthwork,withafoundation made oi logs; the spot 
 is now marked by a small mound of earth. A few soldiers were 
 stationed at this fort to intercept the boats carrying sup- 
 plies to the English vessels outside. This guard was under 
 the command of Seth Wilson. 
 
 At the time the British men-of-war were in the Kennebec 
 River, the Harpswell division of Militia was ordered out by 
 Gen. King. Capt. Johnson, then in command of all the 
 Harpswell militia, notified his men quickly to march to Bath. 
 After consultation with some of the residents of Bailey's 
 Island, however, he decided to leave on that island, as a 
 guard, all the able bodied residents of the island, on account 
 of the place being especially exposed to the attacks of the 
 enemy's cruisers, which were hovering about the place con- 
 tinually. These men were left under the command of Capt. 
 James Siunett. Capt. Johnson and his men marched to 
 Bath, remaining however, but a short time. 
 
 After the close of the war, the militia companies were 
 kept up, and we find that in 1832, Isaiah H. Trufant was 
 chosen captain of the Islands Company, in place of John M. 
 Purinton. 
 
HISTOEICAL. 33 
 
 From the close of the war of 1812--1814 there wasalong 
 period of peace in American History, during which time the 
 young nation made remarkable strides in progress and 
 development. The northeastern boundary question caused 
 considerable disturbance in Maine during the first third of 
 the last century, and was not finally settled uutil the Ash- 
 burton Treaty was signed in 1842. Much agitation was 
 felt throughout the entire state of Maine, which was shared 
 to a greater or less extent by other states of the Union. In 
 1839, this feeling took on the appearance of war, and the 
 bloodless "Aroostook War" was instituted when the Gov- 
 ernor ordered troops to the eastern frontier. This matter, 
 however, as before stated, was settled by treaty reached 
 through the appointment of commissioners. 
 
 The Mexican War which broke out in 1845, although 
 participated in by many eastern patriots, especially those of 
 coast towns, was not in the east a popular measure, and 
 was not of sufficient magnitude or duration to require any 
 but volunteer service. 
 
 CIVIL WAR 
 
 But the one war that did stir theentire nation, and which 
 received the most loyal and effective service of every north- 
 ern state, was that which was fought in the cause of freedom, 
 and for the maintenance of the American Union. If one 
 thing more than another is to be revered and commemor- 
 ated, impressed upon the minds of the rising generation, 
 that thing is the record of names and deeds of men who faced 
 the dangers of the battlefield during this trying period. As 
 
 88

 time rolls on we are apt to forget the value of the service 
 rendered by the soldier in the war. Each succeeding genera- 
 tion is more forgetful of these things than its predecessor 
 unless it is taught to revere and love the deeds of the soldier. 
 It should be in the mind of each father and mother to instill 
 into the mind of the youth the significance of the inscrip- 
 tion, "Killed at Gettysburg," "Wounded at Vicksburgy ' or 
 "Died at Libby Prison.'' 
 
 It is with pleasure that we are able to give a list of the 
 men who served in the Union ranks from the town of Harps- 
 well. These names, and the part taken by each soldier are 
 recorded in the reports of the State Adjutant General.

 INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT 
 
 Harpswell is not a manufacturing town. There have 
 been, during the history of the town, a few grist mills, and 
 two or three tide mills which sawed some lumber, but this 
 people have never depended upon such as a means of profit. 
 The principal occupation of the first settlers here is said to 
 have been cutting cord-wood and shipping it to Boston, 
 Salem, and other ports on the Massachusetts coast. Owing 
 to the peculiar location of the town there are no streams 
 of sufficient size to furnish power for manufacturing. 
 
 We find reference made to a wind-mill in town previous 
 to 1758; there was also a tide-mill called ''Jones Mill," it 
 having been built by a family of Quakers, by that name. 
 There was also a mill standing at Widgeon Cove as late as 
 1804, although not then in operation. This was then 
 owned in part by Silas Allen and Deacon James Wilson. 
 
36 HISTORICAL. 
 
 About 1800 there was a wiud-mill built and owned by 
 Major Paul Randall. The saw and grist mill operated by 
 the tide at the Basin, was erected about 1850 by a stock 
 company. This has not now been in operation for nearly 
 twenty years. There were, about 1855, two grist mills on 
 Great Island, one owned by Stephen Purington, and the 
 other by a Mr. Ridley. 
 
 SALT WORKS 
 
 During the Revolution salt became very scarce. An 
 Irishman named Millay, residing on Great Island, under- 
 stood extracting this necessity from the sea-water, and sug- 
 gested the building of salt-works on the island. A company 
 was formed, a building erected, and kettles and other appli- 
 ances purchased. Mr. Millay had charge of the kettles. 
 Sixty bushels of salt were manufactured each week, and the 
 product shipped to the Boston market where it sold for 
 $2.00 a bushel. 
 
 FISHING 
 
 We find that this place was occupied as a fishing station 
 by the Indians, after the first arrivals from civilization had 
 been obliged to seek safety among their own people. After 
 the arrival of permanent white settlers, this locality, espe- 
 cially the islands, was sought by those engaged in this occu- 
 pation and since 1 hat time has remained a seat of this im- 
 portant industry. The fish taken off these shores are prin- 
 cipally cod, hake, haddock, pollock, and cusk. Smaller fish, 
 such as mackerel, porgies, and herring are also caught in 
 
HISTORICAL. 37 
 
 abundance. Large quantities of the fish are taken to Port- 
 land, which is the principal market for the product of the 
 Harpswell fisheries. During the spring season many of the 
 fishermen are engaged in the lobster fishery. The fishing- 
 smacks are arranged so as to keep the lobsters alive, large 
 numbers of which are shipped to Portland, Boston, and New 
 York. 
 
 The clam business was at one time an important branch 
 ot the fishing industry. About 1863 there were put up and 
 sold at prices ranging from $8.00 to $14.00 per barrel, not 
 less than 1,300 barrels. The fishing is carried on mostly by 
 the islanders, and the residents of the southern part of the 
 Neck. 
 
 During the days when shipbuilding was extensively car- 
 ried on along the Maine coast there were several ships, some 
 of several hundred tons burden, built at North Harpswell, 
 and other points on the Neck. The last ship of any consid- 
 erable size was built by Geo. R. Skolfield in 1895; the ship 
 was named after himself. This ship was commanded by 
 Capt. Clement S. Dunning. 
 
 SHIP AND BOAT BUILDING 
 
 Although there are dow no large vessels built here, there 
 are many smaller boats and steam launches built each year. 
 Of the men who are engaged in this business at the present 
 time are E. K. Hodgkins, at the Center; R. D, Merryman, 
 Andrew Purington, and Fred Purinton, at North Harpswell; 
 Wilson Bros, on Orr's Island; D. P. Sinnett, and Herbert F. 
 Johnson on Bailey's Island; and Hiram Pinkham and Geo. 
 W. Sinnett at Cundy's Harbor. 
 
38 HISTORICAL. 
 
 AGRICULTURE 
 
 Of the three principal sources of profit to the residents 
 of Harpswell, those of fanning, fishing; and summer board- 
 ing, we should place farming first. The thrift and industry 
 of the farming populace is everywhere testified to by the 
 beautiful and neat sets of farm buildings which extend the 
 entire length of the Neck, and dot the islands, being gener- 
 ally surrounded by fields as productive and easy of culture 
 as those of prosperous inland towns. The soil is a gravelly 
 loam in the highlands, and clay loam in the lower parts. 
 
 HARPSWELL A POPULAR SUMMER RESORT 
 
 Nature seems to have spared no pains in making Harps- 
 well an ideal spot for summer residence, especially attractive 
 to the lover of the sea. From the southern point of the 
 Neck one may look out upon the open sea to the southward; 
 or, to the westward, scan the seacoast of Freeport, Yar- 
 mouth, Cumberland and Falmouth, to Portland, with which 
 city the several hamlets of Harpswell are connected by 
 steamship lines. Here, in the midst of the ocean, on the 
 hottest days of the summer season, there is a cool and re- 
 freshing breeze which makes no day too warm to be enjoy- 
 able. At the stately appearing farm houses is found the 
 greatest hospitality, and the attractions, not only of fish- 
 ing, rowing, and bathing, together with the cooling breeze, 
 but the attractions of the rural New England home, and the 
 cordiality so generally found among the old English stock 
 from which so many of Harpswell's citizens sprung. Nor is 
 this condition or advantage shared by one section of the 
 
HISTORICAL. 39 
 
 town to the disadvantage of another, for both peninsular 
 and islands are alike sought by the pleasure seeker, and 
 during the summer season the whole town is alive with ac- 
 tivity, as a college town, during the school year. 
 
 There are now three large and excellent hotels in Harps- 
 well as well as many boarding houses, private homes and 
 scores of cottages which lend their respective attractions, 
 and offer accommodation to her summer visitors. At South 
 Harpswell are the Merriconeag House, the Germania, and 
 the Ocean View House; at Orr's Island are the Mascot Hotel 
 and the Merritt House; and on Bailey's Island, the Ocean 
 View House, all large and well appointed hotels. 
 
 Besides the excellent accommodations offered, Harpswell 
 is a place of more than ordinary historic interest for here is 
 the place where Elijah Kellogg preached for so many years, 
 being pastor of the Center Congregational church for 57 
 years. His church at the Center, stands opposite another 
 which is no less historic, for in the old church, now used as a 
 town house, the Rev. Samuel Eaton preached for 59 years. 
 This church was erected in 1757 or 1758; that in which Mr. 
 Kellogg preached was erected especially for him in 1843. 
 In the burying ground behind the old church lie many of the 
 noble and honored pioneers of this town, the ancestors of 
 many of the present residents. Orr's Island, made historic 
 by the author of Uncle Tom's cabin in her famous and 
 beautiful story, "The Pearl of Orr's Island," has now at- 
 tained a world wide reputation, both for it own attractions 
 and its historic setting.

 CHURCH AFFAIRS 
 
 The early settlers of Harpswell belonged generally to the 
 Congregational church or the Church of England. There 
 were, however, a few Quakers, who set up a monthly meeting 
 about the year 1751. The inhabitants at first contributed 
 toward the support of preaching in the First Parish Church 
 in North Yarmouth, of which town this was then a part. In 
 1751, Merriconeague became a separate parish, styled the 
 "Second Parish in North Yarmouth," and thereafter volun- 
 tarily employed its own pastors. 
 
 The first man to serve the newly erected parish was Rev. 
 Richard Pateshall, a graduate of Harvard College; he 
 preached for two or three years and was succeeded by Rev. 
 Mr. Packard, who preached only for a short time. Neither 
 of these men were settled as pastors in the parish. In 1753, 
 a church was formed, and Rev. Elisha Eaton settled as pas- 
 tor. In 1757 or '8 the old meeting house was built, though 
 it was not entirely completed for many years. The son of 
 the first settled pastor, of the same name, prepared much of 
 the finish of this historic edifice which still stands, a sacred 
 monument to the sturdy piety of these pioneers. Rev. Mr. 
 Eaton remained pastor of the church and parish until his 
 death, April 22, 1764. The true success which he attained 
 in his minist r\\ and the high esteem in which he was held by 
 the citizens of this town, was shown by calling to the pulpit 
 thus left vacant, the son of the deceased pastor. Rev. Sam- 
 uel Eaton was ordained pastor the folio wing October, having 
 
HISTORICAL. 41 
 
 the unanimous approval of both the town, parish and church. 
 At a meeting- of the town held on August 27, preceeding, it 
 was voted that the minister should go to Great Island fifteen 
 Sabbaths a year, yearly, and a vote was made to fix upon 
 a place for a meeting house on the Great Island. 
 
 The long and faithful ministry of this beloved pastor is a 
 record such as is seldom equalled in the history of any 
 church. Coming to the church the year after his graduation 
 from Harvard College, he remained the true helmsman until 
 called to his reward, November 5, 1822, in the 59th year of 
 his ministry, and the 86th year of his age. During his theo- 
 logical studies in Harvard, he had also attended medical 
 lectures and obtained some knowledge of the healing art 
 which his excellent judgment enabled him to put in practice 
 for the benefit of his people. He was a man of thought, of 
 remarkable energy, and a ripe scholar. He possessed great 
 eloquence, and the people flocked from all quarters to hear 
 him, notwithstanding his sermons were written with all the 
 old fashioned divisions. He was of most commanding pres- 
 ence, and possessed a natural dignity. Of him his people 
 were justly proud, and his power and command over them 
 was phenominal. When finally he was removed from them 
 they felt that an irreparable loss had befallen them. 
 
 It was in 1844 that Elijah Kellogg came to this church, 
 the man whose fame as minister, writer and lecturer, was to 
 reach out even more widely than the influence of the famous 
 Parson Eaton, whose name even now remained a household 
 word. Long years after his coming, Mr. Kellogg said of this 
 event, with the tears of gratitude shining in his clear eyes: 
 
42 HISTOKICAL. 
 
 "It was a case of love at first "sight with both parties, and 
 the honeymoon is not over yet. I love my people fondly, 
 and they dearly love me." 
 
 During the time which passed between the pastorates of 
 these two great men, we should mention the service of those 
 who labored with the church, and the faith of the few who 
 saw in the future the noble successor of Mr. Eaton. Many 
 connected with Bowdoin College preached from the pulpit of 
 this early church, and Rev. William Harlow was pastor from 
 1832 to 1838. Rev. Jotham Sewall of Freeport, preached 
 here for a while, and greatly helped the people. After him 
 came in quick succession, Revs. Clark, Cornish, Gillett, Ken- 
 drick, Puriugton, Merrill, Parsons and Peasley. 
 
 A meeting for the purpose of forming a new parish was 
 held September 27, 1843, and what is now the Centre Con- 
 gregational Parish was formed, and a very strong constitu- 
 tion was adopted. The next day the new church edifice 
 which had been erected especially for Mr. Kellogg was dedi- 
 cated. 
 
 In 1854, Mr. Kellogg gave up the immediate charge of 
 the church that he might devote himself more fully to litera- 
 ture. In his absence good men and true supplied the pulpit. 
 He did not take up the work again until 1865, though he 
 often preached here in the summers, while he had charge of 
 the Seaman's Bethel in Boston. He served this church with 
 rare faithfulness until his death in 1901. For a further 
 account of the life of this great man see the sketch in anoth- 
 er chapter. 
 
 After Mr. Kellogg's death, Richard B. Mills became the 
 
HISTORICAL. 43 
 
 pastor, taking up his duties June, 1901. A memorial bell 
 to Elijah Kellogg was hung in the church two years ago. 
 This was first rung to toll the death of Deacon William 
 Eaton, who had been a deacon in the church for over fifty 
 years. 
 
 .NORTH HARPSWELL UNION MEETING HOUSE 
 
 This edifice was erected in 1841, when the Universalists, 
 Congregationalists, and those of a different faith united for 
 their mutual benefit. This was dedicated September 21 of 
 that year. In 1844, a Universalist society was legally 
 organized and was more or less active for many years, but 
 has now become extinct. This church edifice has been used 
 only by the Congregationalists for many years, being by 
 them used as a branch of the Centre church. When Rev. 
 John Dinsmore was preaching in Mr. Kellogg's church in 
 1885, during the absence of the pastor, he began holding- 
 afternoon services at the Union church, These services have 
 been sustained continually since that time. A Christian 
 Endeavor Society was organized here by Mr. Frank Kellogg, 
 about three years ago, which has greatly aided in sustaining 
 the services and interest. There is also a Sunday school, the 
 combined membership of that at North Harpswell and at 
 the Center being now about 90. The membership of the 
 church, including both localities, is 90; that of the Christian 
 Endeavor Society, 51. 
 
44 HISTORICAL. 
 
 BAPTIST CHURCHES 
 
 The first Baptist preaching- in Harps well was in 1783, by 
 Rev. Isaac Case and Mr. Potter. On January 19, 1785, a 
 church was organized on Great Island consisting of 31 mem- 
 bers. Rev. Mr. Potter soon after became pastor, remaining 
 until 1788. In 1790, Elder Elisha Snow of Thomaston, 
 became pastor. He was succeeded by Revs. Samuel Wood- 
 ward and Samuel Mariner. Mr. Mariner came to the church 
 in 1802, remaining until his death in 1832, during which 
 time he served the church faithfully and acceptably. After 
 his death, the pulpit was supplied by Elders S. Owen, Henry 
 Kendall, D. Pierce, William Johnson, J. Butler and N. 
 Hooper. 
 
 This church has been variously called the Harpswell 
 Church, the Harpswell and Brunswick Church, and the East 
 Brunswick Church. 
 
 SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 
 
 The Second Baptist society was organized November 13, 
 1827, at the "lower school house on the Neck." William 
 Randall and John L. Lambert were confirmed as deacons in 
 Jan. 1828. The first pastor seems to have been Rev. Henry 
 Kendall. He was succeeded by Elder Piukham, Elder L. 
 Barrows, Elder J. Hutchinson, Elder Nelson, Elder H. Per- 
 kins, Rev. N. P. Everett, Rev. Mr. Sargent. Rev. R. Goud and 
 Rev. William R. Miller. Mr. Miller died here in 1875, having 
 served the church but about one year. From this time 
 there were regular services during the summer season, and 
 sometimes during the whole year. Rev. N. G. French 
 
HISTORICAL. 45 
 
 was settled as pastor in 1883, remaining two years. Rev. 
 Harry Doane, was the next settled pastor, coming in 1891, 
 remaining but one year; Rev. F. H. Pratt came in 1895 for 
 one year; Rev. L. M. Bosworth in 1898, remaining nearly 
 two years, when he was succeeded by Rev. F. S. Todd, who 
 came in the spring of 1900, remaining about a year and a 
 half. The present membership of this organization is 22. 
 Preaching services are regularly sustained during the sum- 
 mer season. A Sunday school is held at the South Harps- 
 well school house. This is managed by the King's Daughters, 
 but is considered a Baptist school. The parsonage, located 
 just across the street from the church, was built during the 
 last year of Mr. French's pastorate; and the church was 
 extensively remodeled, and a new organ purchased in 1891. 
 
 FIRST FREE-WILL BAPTIST SOCIETY 
 
 This society was organized on Great Island, April 17, 
 1817, with thirty members. Rev. George Lamb was the set- 
 tled minister from the organization of the church until the 
 time of his death in 1835 or 1836. Until 1839, the church 
 was supplied by transient preachers. At that date, Rev. O. 
 W. Smith became pastor, remaining until 1 842, during which 
 time sixty members were added to the church. From 1843 
 to 1854, Rev. Levi Hersey was the pastor. Rev. David L. 
 Hind served from 1857 to I 860, thirty-five members being- 
 added to the church during this time. In 1866, Rev. L. C. 
 Burr was settled for three years. He was succeeded by Revs. 
 D. Libby and A. Libby, brothers, Rev. Mr. Carver, Rev. B. 
 M. Edwards, Rev. Mr. Holmes, of Brunswick, and Rev. Mr. 
 Chase. No services have been sustained during the last 
 
46 HISTOEICAL. 
 
 year. The society is weak, but is the only church organiza- 
 tion in East Harpswell, and ought to be sustained. Six 
 years ago, the church was struck by lightning and badly 
 damaged. It has, however, been well repaired, painted and 
 carpeted, making a very comfortable and convenient place 
 of worship. 
 
 THE SECOND, OR ORE'S ISLAND FREE-WILL BAPTIST CHURCH 
 
 In 1858, Rev. J. Fuller organized this society, then hav- 
 ing but eleven members. The meetings are held in the Orr's 
 Island Union Meeting House, built about 1855. This house 
 was also occupied by other denominations during the years 
 following its construction, but is now used only by the Free 
 Baptists, being generally known as the Free Baptist Church. 
 We have not obtained any account of this church during* the 
 later years. 
 
 METHODISTS IN HARPSWELL 
 
 There was only occasional preaching by the Methodists 
 in Harpswell previous to 1843. Rev. Stephen Bennett, a 
 devoted local preacher who resided on Chebeague, held meet- 
 ings in school houses on Harpswell Neck, and on Orr's and 
 Bailey's Islands. He was earnest and successful, organizing 
 a class at West Harpswell, consisting of Sidney Baile}' and 
 wife, Nathaniel Pinkham and wife, Norton Stover and wife, 
 and a Mr. Lawson. Others soon joined them, some of whom 
 had belonged to other churches. Rev. William Haskell also 
 held meetings at different school houses in town. 
 
HISTORICAL. 47 
 
 In 1843, the revival at Brunswick, under the labors of 
 Kev. Asahel Moore, extended to Harpswell through the work 
 of Rev. F. A. Crafts. As the work increased under this faith- 
 ful minister, its influence exteuded to the adjacent islands. 
 Many conversions followed, but through some mistake no 
 pastor was appointed to this field the following year. Rev. 
 Geo. C. Crawford, a local preacher of Brunswick, preached 
 for the society at different periods of its history. The neat 
 and convenient church was built in 1854 and 1855, being 
 dedicated the latter year. The sale of pews was made after 
 the dedicatory exercises, the financial responsibility having 
 been borne by Capt. Norton Stover and Nathaniel Pinkham. 
 At the Conference of 1855, Rev. Heman Nickerson was 
 appointed to succeed Rev. Mr. Crawford, the pastor serving 
 both the church at West Harpswell and on Orr's Island. 
 
 The following is a list of pastors who have served this 
 society, succeeding Rev. Mr. Nickerson: Revs. L. W. Russell, 
 Nathan Andrews, John Collins, appointed in 1860; H. B. 
 Mitchell, Alpha Turner, Geo. Crawford, Geo. Briggs, J. C. 
 Perry, S. A. Gerry, appointed in 1870; Geo. Crawford, Geo. 
 Boyntou, Lewis Dudley, Nathan Andrews, M. C. Baldwin, J. 
 P. Cole, Jabez Budden, Nathan Clifford, Chas. Bisbee, 
 appointed in 1880; N. D. Center, D. R. Ford, Joseph Moulton, 
 T. A. Nottage, A. K. Bryant, Geo. Hoit, A. R. Sylvester, W. 
 F. Marshal], C. M. Abbott, T. D. Davies, G. C. Andrews, C. 
 H. Young, J. E. Clancy and J. H. Bounds. Rev. Mr. Bounds 
 remained on the charge but a short time, going West in July. 
 The church is now under the care of supplies. 
 
 Besides the above mentioned societies there is an Episco- 
 
48 HISTORICAL. 
 
 pal Chapel on Orr's Island, erected and used by the summer 
 visitors, many of whom own summer homes on the inland. 
 At Cundy's Harbor there is a "Christian Society" which has 
 been under the care of Frank Chase for three years past, but 
 is now without a pastor. There is also a Holiness Society 
 at the same place; this has about twenty-five members but 
 no regular preacher. 
 
 Bailey's Island was the birthplace of John C. Perry, who 
 for forty-three years was an active and successful member of 
 the Maine Methodist Conference. In 1868, he was in charge 
 of the church here.

 SCHOOL ITEMS 
 
 The earliest reference we have found to any provision for 
 asehool in Harps well is the appropriation of £20 by the town 
 for that purpose on May 9, 1759; this amount seems to 
 have been the annual stipulation made for schools up to 
 1780, when the sum of £300 was appropriated. The depre- 
 ciation in currency which occurred before the Revolutionary 
 War, and lasted for several years, probably accounts for 
 these large figures. In 1797 the town was divided into dis- 
 tricts, or, as then called, "classes," and each class met and 
 chose a "head," which was very similar tothedistrict school 
 agent of a later period. Of these classes Marlborough Syl- 
 vester was chosen head of the first district on the neck: 
 Capt. Wm. Tarr, of the second district on thp neck: Clement 
 Orr of the district on Orr's Island and Bailey's Island; Sam- 
 uel Snow of the first district on Sebascodigan; Stephen Pur- 
 inton of the second district on Sebascodigan; and Josiah 
 Totman of the third district on that island. 
 
 As early as 1810 school committees were chosen for each 
 district, and eleven years later a superintending school com- 
 mittee of three was chosen. On that first committee were 
 Rev. Samuel Eaton, Alcot Stover, and Capt Stephen Snow. 
 The district agents were chosen as before, but the work was 
 placed under the general supervision of these men. We find 
 that the following year the number of men on this commit- 
 tee was changed from three to seven. The cause of this was 
 
 H4 
 
50 HISTORICAL. 
 
 doubtless the difficulty of traveling between the different 
 schools. The town was re-districted in 1834. With the in- 
 crease of population had come the demand for more schools. 
 The number of districts has been increased from time to 
 time until as many as 19 were established. In 1857 the 
 town decided to choose a school supervisor to supersede the 
 superintending school committee. Thomas U. Eaton was 
 chosen to this office. From this time until 1862 the schools 
 of the town were under the care of a supervisor, but the fol- 
 lowing year the vote was made to revert to the old system 
 of choosing a committee of three. Gradually but surely the 
 schools have moved forward and upward; the change being 
 made of placing them under the care of a s» hool superin- 
 tendent several years later, after the custom generally fol- 
 lowed by the towns of our state, 
 
 From the annual town report of 1902 we learn that 
 there were then in operation sixteen schools, each having 
 twenty-seven weeks of school annually. Much care and 
 study has been given to the successful working of these 
 schools by the present school superintendent, Frost P. Bai- 
 ley, and others under whose supervision they have been 
 placed at different periods. Also much interest has been 
 taken by the teachers and pupils in many of the different 
 districts, in decorating or otherwise furnishing and making- 
 attractive the school buildings. Some of the schools are 
 now provided with flags, attractive window curtains, ther- 
 mometers or framed pictures, all of which lend a charm to 
 the otherwise bare and often unattractive structures. The 
 number of scholars in town April 1, 1902, was 535, of which 
 
HISTORICAL. 51 
 
 386 were enrolled in the several schools. These figures are 
 practically unchanged at the present time. 
 
 ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. 
 
 The only school of this character in town was the Harps- 
 well Academy. Some of the prominent citizens, desirous of 
 having better advantages of education offered to the child- 
 ren of the town, than were afforded by the common schools, 
 formed a corporation for the promotion of that object in 
 the year 1S59. 
 
 The first meeting of the Harpswell Academy Corpora- 
 tion was held June 13, 1859, in Johnson's Hall. At this 
 meeting Paul Randall was chosen President; Harmon Pen- 
 nell, Vice President; Robert Pennell, Secretary; Henry 
 Barnes, Treasurer; and Clement Scolfield, Isaiah Snow, 
 Stephen Purinton, Thomns Pennell, and Lemuel H. Stover, 
 a Visiting Committee. A committee of three was also 
 chosen to raise money aud select a place for an academy 
 building. On July 2d of this year the trustees voted to ac- 
 cept a lot of one-fourth of an acre of land offered by David 
 S. Dunning at the sum of $25, and very shortly after this 
 a neat and substantial building was erected on this lot lo- 
 cated at North Harpswell. Tbe corporation, however, went 
 in debt for the building, and accordingly, at a meeting held 
 March 1, 1860, the academy was mortgaged in order to 
 raise money to pay the indebtedness. On April 18, 1865, 
 the trustees voted to raise money by subscription to redeem 
 the building. 
 
52 HISTORICAL. 
 
 The first term of school in this academy commenced 
 Monday, Sept. 5, 1859, under the instruction of H. C. White 
 M.D., with one or more assistants. The rates of tuition 
 were as follows: Primary Department, per term, $ 2; in Com- 
 mon English, $3; in Higher Branches, $4; in Drawing and 
 Painting, $1 .50 to |2; in Music, f 6. For use of instrument, 
 $1 extra. 
 
 The school was kept up a few years, but finally failed 
 Irom want of adequate snpport aud encouragement. 
 
 Several years ago the town established a local free high 
 school, which was held in the old academy building. This 
 school was operated for a few years only. The town now 
 offers an opportunity for its young men and women to ob- 
 tain an advanced education through the new state law pro- 
 viding for the payment of the tuition by the town to the ex- 
 tent of f 30 per pupil of any pupils attending any of the 
 high schools or fitting schools of the state. 
 
 The academy building, a neat and well kept structure, 
 is now used as a hall for local entertainments or exhibitions, 
 and is the home of the newly organized Grange.

 NOTED PEOPLE 
 
 ELIJAH KELLOGG 
 
 Elijah Kellogg was born in Portland, May 20, 1813, the 
 son ol a noted Congregational preacher in that city. Young 
 Elijah was a great admirer of the sea, and while taking his 
 course in Bowdoin College kept his boat at Harpswell, at 
 the foot of the farm just back of A. S. Dunning's. Thus he 
 became known to the people here, gaining a large place in 
 their estimation. When visiting here the people had asked 
 him to become their pastor when he had completed his 
 studies. He replied " Oh, yes, if you will keep the old church 
 as it is for a memorial to God's goodness and build a new 
 one as a pledge that He will guide you forever." 
 
 He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1840, and from 
 Andover Theological Seminary in 1813. In the spring of 
 1814 the Congregational church extended him an invitation 
 to become their pastor for $300 a year for four years. Mr. 
 Kellogg accepted this invitation, and his connection with 
 the church was never separated until his death. Rev. Mr. 
 Kellogg gave up the immediate charge of the church in 1854 
 but his name ever stood on the records of the church as its 
 pastor. From 1855 to 1865 he was chaplain of the Boston 
 Seamen's Bethel, during the time often ministering to his 
 people here. At the end of that time he returned to Harps- 
 well where he remained during the rest of his life. Much of 
 Mr. Kellogg's attention was given to writing the books for 
 
54 HISTORICAL. 
 
 boys which have had so wide a reading. Of these we would 
 mention The Elm Island Series, written from 1868 to 1870; 
 the Pleasant Cove Series, 1870-74; Whispering Pine Series, 
 1871-73; Good Old Time Series, 1877-82; Forest Glen Series, 
 1878; and many others. The life of this brave, consecrated, 
 Christian worker was fully given up to the work which he 
 followed. Much of his attention was given to missionary 
 work among the seamen whose welfare he ever had at heart, 
 perhaps above all others. This beloved man served this 
 church and people with rare faithfulness until his death on 
 that quiet Sabbath, March 17, 1901, being then in his 88th 
 year, and in the 56th year of his pastorate over this church. 
 He was buried in the family lot, in the city of Portland. A 
 funeral service held in the church at Harpswell was largely 
 attended by Bowdoin College Professors and students to 
 whom he was so well known; Professor Henry L. Chapman 
 giving a fine tribute to this strong old friend. The conclud- 
 ing services were in the Second Parish Church in Portland, 
 where his father had preached so long. And the people of 
 Harpswell look up to God through the mists and shadows, 
 believing that the hand of Him who gave them such men as 
 Parson Samuel Eaton and this noble successor, may yet 
 provide for his own. 
 
 HARRIET BEECHER STOWE 
 
 We believe it is not inappropriate to include a short 
 sketch of the life of the woman who by her beautiful descrip- 
 tions of scenery and home life has, in "The Pearl of Orr's 
 Island," so materially added to the fame of this beautiful 
 
HISTORICAL. 55 
 
 spot. It was the home of one of the deacons of the old 
 Congregational Church that she has so eloquently described 
 in that volume, and the life of one of that churches' pastors 
 shines brightly on the same pages. While Mr. Stowe was a 
 Professor in Bovvdoin College Mrs. Stowe often visited these 
 Islands and homes, spending many summer months here, 
 thereby endeariug herself to this devoted people: 
 
 Harriet Elizabeth Beecher was born at Litchfield, Conn., 
 June 14, 1811. When thirteen years of age she went to 
 Hartford, Conn., to attend the school of her sister, Cather- 
 ine. After studying for some years she assisted as a teacher 
 in that institution. In 1832 the Beecher family moved to 
 Cincinnati, Ohio; and four years later Harriet was married 
 to Professor Calvin E. Stowe, of the Lane Theological Sem- 
 inary in that city. 
 
 Her first book was '"The Mayflower, or Sketches of the 
 Descendants of the Pilgrims," published in 1849. The next 
 year the Stowes came to Brunswick, Professor Stowe having 
 taken a chair in Bowdoin College. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," 
 written at Brunswick, was published as a serial in the Wash- 
 ington National Era, beginning in 1851. Its success was 
 immediate and phenominal, half a million copies of the book 
 form being printed within ten years, and the translations 
 into foreign tongues numbering about thirty. Prof. Stowe 
 went to Andover Theological Seminary in 1852. The fol- 
 lowing year Mrs. Stowe published the "Key to Uncle Tom's 
 Cabin." About this time she made the first of several Euro- 
 pean trips, during which she was received abroad with 
 marked respect and honor. In 1864 the Stowes removed to 
 
56 HISTORICAL. 
 
 Hartford, Connecticut, where Mrs. Stowe resided until her 
 death, July 3, 1890. She spent many summers at her Flor- 
 ida summer home. 
 
 She was an author of especial beauty of style, depicting 
 the most natural, or ordinary scenes in snch beautiful lan- 
 guage as to make them extremely attractive and refreshing. 
 Neither did she lack force in her writing. There has never 
 been written by an American author a story which has 
 touched deeper into the hearts and minds of the people than 
 did ''Uncle Tom's Cabiu," written at a period in American 
 history when the question of slavery was uppermost in the 
 minds of both the North and the South. This work was fol- 
 lowed by the "Key," written to show the variety of scenes 
 and deeds described in the preceding work. Of her other 
 works, "Dred," ''The Ministers Wooing," "The Pearl of 
 Orr's Island," "Agnes of Sorrento," "My Wife and I," "Old- 
 town Folks," "Sam Lawson's Fireside Stories," "Pink and 
 W T hite Tyranny," "We and Our Neighbors," and many 
 other stories, are among the standard works of fiction.

 FACTS OF INTEREST 
 
 EARLY ROADS 
 
 Mention is found in the records of the town for 1760, of 
 the road then in use on the Neck as follows: voted, "that 
 the road through the Neck shall stand as laid out by Mr. 
 Jonathan Flint, surveyor." This is the earliest account we 
 have of this road, but it is probable that it was laid out sev- 
 eral years earlier, or parts of it. The course of the road at 
 that time was practically the same as now, except that it 
 did not then extend to Potts' Point. In 1761, it was voted 
 that "the road on the Island laid out by the Proprietors be 
 a Town Road." No description of it is given at that date, 
 but in 1786 Stephen Gatchell made a survey of "the main 
 road" and other roads on the Island. It appears that this 
 survey was made only for the purpose of putting on record 
 the courses of the roads as formerly laid out. The road 
 from the ferry around the head of Long Reach was laid out 
 in 1764. 
 
 In 1821, the road on Orr's Island was accepted as a town 
 road, and a road on Great Island, from the Orr's Island 
 bridge to the main road was also accepted. Various private 
 and public roads of minor importance have also been laid 
 out as the convenience of the inhabitants required. 
 
58 HISTORICAL. 
 
 EARLY FERRIES IN HARPSWELL 
 
 The first ferry in Harpswell of which we have any knowl- 
 edge was established in 1764. This is shown by the follow- 
 ing from the town records: — 
 
 "Voted to have a ferry started near the Narrows, a good 
 ferry boat built, and a convenient road for man and horse 
 cleared to the head of Long Reach so called." This was to 
 be completed by the first of October. In 1772 a ferry was 
 established from Indian Point on Sebascodigan Island to 
 Trotter's Point in Georgetown, by order of the Court of Gen- 
 eral Sessions. In 1795, Daniel Blaysdell, Jr., was licensed 
 by the Court of General Sessions for Lincoln County, to keep 
 a ferry over New Meadows River from the landing near his 
 house in Georgetown to the opposite landing io Harpswell. 
 
 EARLY BRIDGES 
 
 The bridge connecting Great Island and Orr's Island was 
 built some time between 1833 and 1845, by Samuel Orr, 
 Ralph Johnson, Jr., David Wyer, Thomas S. Jack, Michael 
 Sinnett, John Conley, William Orr, Charles Black, Richard 
 Orr, Jr., and William D. Orr, inhabitants of Orr's Island. 
 In 1852, they gave the bridge to the town, and the town 
 voted to accept it and to keep it in repair. The bridge was 
 wantonly destroyed in 1857, but soon after rebuilt by the 
 town. 
 
 POST OFFICES 
 
 At the time of the earliest settlements here, before the 
 establishment of any post offices, letters were brought by

 the coasters which plied between Maquoit and the larger 
 towns, or by auy chance traveller who might be journeying 
 this war. The first mail route from Boston to the Kenne- 
 bec was established a short time prior to the beginning of 
 the Revolutionary war, when, for a short time, Luke Lam- 
 bard carried the mail on horse back once a fortnight, leaving 
 letters at Brunswick for the surrounding vicinity. It was 
 not until about 1800 that the mails were carried oftener 
 than once a week. In 1803, there were three mails a week 
 from Boston. 
 
 The first post office in Harpswell was not established 
 until 1842. This was located on the lower end of the Neck, 
 the mails being received at that time every Tuesday. Wash- 
 ington Garcelon was the first postmaster. Residents on 
 Great Island and the upper end of the Neck, continued to get 
 their mail from Brunswick for many years after this. The 
 office at West Harpswell was established October 14, 1847. 
 Washington Garcelon serving here also as the first postmas- 
 ter. This post office was discontinued in 1854, but was re- 
 established in September 1862. The office at North Harps- 
 well, was established in 1864, Charles F. Johnson being 
 appointed postmaster February 25. The Orr's Island post 
 office was nstablished May 13, 1868, Samuel E. Smullen 
 being* the first postmaster. There are now post offices 
 located at South Harpswell, Orr's Island, Cundy's Harbor 
 and Bailey's Island; the North, Central and West villages 
 on the Neck; and East Harpswell on Great Island, as well as 
 most of the rural section of the town are accommodated by 
 the daily rural free delivery system.

 THE HARPSWELL BANNER 
 
 There has been but one paper published in Harpswell, 
 but it is interesting to note the "career" of this publication. 
 
 The first number of the Harpswell Banner was issued in 
 May, 1832. This paper was published weekly for six months, 
 by Josiah S Swift and Jonathan R. Snow. Jesse Snow, 2d, 
 was the agent. It was printed on a sheet six by ten inches, 
 and the price was four cents for six numbers. In August J. 
 S. Swift became sole proprietor and editor. In September 
 the paper was enlarged to a sheet seven by thirteen, and a 
 week later to eight and one-half by thirteen and one-half 
 and the title changed to "The Literary Banner," terms 32 
 cents per annum; semi-monthly. The last number, however, 
 was issued October 24th of that year. This paper was 
 printed at the editor's home on Sebascodigan Island. Swift, 
 then but a lad, procured a small font of worn-out type, 
 which had been thrown into pi in the office of the Bath In- 
 quirer. This he sorted out, laid in a case of his own con- 
 struction, and, having made a wooden chase, some tin rules, 
 and cut a head on a block of wood, he printed a seven by 
 nine weekly paper on an old cheese press. He received the 
 patronage and encouragement of many of the citizens of 
 Bath and Brunswick as w T ell as Harpswell. John McKeen, 
 the local historian of Brunswick, became a regular contrib- 
 utor. The boy finally abandoned the enterprise to enter the 
 office of the Bath Inquirer, where he remained for some 
 years, finally becoming proprietor of the paper. He became 
 a clergyman of considerable note, residing in Farmington 
 for some time.

 PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY 
 
 Merriconeag Grange, Number 425, was organized at the 
 old Academy building; on November 9, 1903. There were 22 
 charter members. This membership has been steadily in- 
 creased until there are now forty members. This is the only 
 organization of the Patrons of Husbandry ever made in 
 this town, but it is believed that it will be given the loyal 
 support of this farming populace, as it has been given al- 
 most without exception, throughout the entire state. The 
 meetings are held at the Academy building. The following 
 is the list of officers installed at the organization of the 
 order, the same board being re-elected for the present year: 
 Alfred S. Dunning, Worthy Master; Perley A.Hackett, Over- 
 seer: Edmund J. Wilson, Lecturer; P. C. Merriman, Steward; 
 Edward M. Pierce, Secretary; Samuel D. Alexander, Treas- 
 urer; Sophie G. Bishop, Chaplain; Geo. A. Barnes, Assistant 
 Steward; Herbert Williams, Door-keeper; Helen M. Dunning, 
 Ceres; Elsie Bishop, Pomona; Bertha M. Dunning, Flora; 
 and Clara D. Merriman, Lady Asst. Steward.

Census, 1904 
 
 The population oi the town of Harpswell has been 
 arranged in families where that arrangement has been 
 possible. In these families, in addition to the resident 
 living members, the names of the non-resident members 
 are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan 
 does not include the names of all former residents of this 
 town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when 
 one or both the parents are still living in the town. After 
 the name of each non-resident will be found the present 
 address, when such address has been given to us. The non- 
 residents are indicated by the (*). 
 
 Iu case a daughter in a family has married, her name 
 taken in marriage will appear after her given name in paren- 
 thesis ( ), preceded by a small (m). 
 
 Following the names of the population is the occu- 
 pation. To designate the occupations we have used the 
 more common abbreviations and contractions. Some of 
 these tollow : Farmer — far; carpenter— car; railroad ser- 
 vice — II R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution 
 of learning— stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools 
 —pi; housework— ho; laborer— lab; physician and surgeon— 
 phy & sur; clergy man— clerg; merchant— mer; teacher— tr; 
 blacksmith— blk; clerk— cl; book-keeper— bk kpr; lawyer- 
 law; mechanic— mech; engineer— eng; insurance— ins; maker 
 — mkr; worker — wkr; work — w r k; shoe shop work— s s work; 
 fisherman— fisher; mariner— mar; poultry— pit; mill operative 
 — mill op; electrician — elec; painter — ptr; carriage work— car 
 wk; potato business— pot bus; dress maker — dr mkr; travel- 
 ing salesman — sales.
