We are unable in this brief account to give any details in regard to the many conflicts the early traders in this section had with these red men of the forest, or of their many attacks upon those who took their lives in their hands and left safe communities to make for themselves in the land of the hostile savage, homes and a name that will ever be honored. This section does not seem to have been the permanent home of any tribe of Indians, although the Tarratines were most frequently in possession. This tribe was a branch of 6 HISTORICAL the Warenocks or Etcheniin tribe of the eastern part of the state and were at one time perhaps the most powerful tribe in New Enoland. When the tradino- posts or "truck houses" as they were called, were established here about 1880, the Indians were on friendly terms with the white visitors, and to some extent were pleased to share their spacious territory with them in return for the many beautiful things the adven- turers had to offer them. Gradually the true situation dawned upon them and they became aware that their home, the natural wilds, and their liberty, were in danger and from that time until there was no hope infighting, they held a hos- tile position to the encroachments of the pale-faced squat- ters, and often waged futile war with the intention of exter- minating this hated people. The complete story has been often and beautifully^ told. We will only add that this state, where three centuries ago probably the foot of civilized man never trod, but the red man roamed the entire territory in quest of game or fish; today is dotted with innumerable dwellings and factories, and lined with railroads; while on the rivers, lakes and inlets of the sea the red man's canoe has been completely displaced by the sailing craft and steam- ers of civilized man, while the native race has become a mem- ory only. True and pathetic are the words of Charles Sprague : "Alas for them, their day is o'er. Their fires are out from hill and shore; No more for them the wild deer bounds, The plow is on their hunting grounds ; The pale man's axe rings through their woods, HISTORICAL The pale man's sail skims o'er their floods: Cold with the beast he slew, he sleeps ; O'er him no filial spirit weeps; No crowds thron^^ round, no anthem notes ascend To bless his coming and embalm his end ; E'en that he lived, is for his conqueror's tongue, By foes alone his death song must be sung." EXPLORATIONS AND LAND GRANTS. Few sections of the state are of more historical interest than that l3ing around the mouths of the great water courses, the earliest thoroughfares of the red men, as also of his palefaced kinsman who succeeded him in theland. These highways of travel were often pursued by war parties of natives ; later, when war waged between the English settlers and the French: and still later, when we were at enmity with those with whom we had earlier stood side by side against a common foe. These humble and peace loving pioneers were often in great danger of becoming exterminated, when they were forced to bring every resourse into action to face the dangers and the stern realities of a pioneer life. It is generally conceded that Capt. George We^^mouth, an English navigator who sought a northwest passage to China, is the first European who visited the locality at the mouth of the Penobscot river, in 1605. We have no means of knowing who were the European visitants to these wild shores between that date and 1614, although the mountains 8 HISTORICAL of Camden served as a landmark to many voyagers, being often mentioned in their reports. The famous Capt. John Smith is the next whom we have authority to say explored these shores. He sailed from London, Mar. 3, 1614, and arrived at Monhegan the last of April. Building several boats here, with eight of his men, he ranged the coast from Penobscot to Cape Cod, making observations and trading with the Indians. Smith, after re- turning to England, published a book describing his voyage and speaks of an Indian settlement at Camden called Macad- ducat. He wrote "The most northern point I was at was the bay of Penobscot. ***** i found in the bay that the river ran Tar up into the land, and was well inhabited by many people, but they were from their habita- tions, either fishing among the Isles or hunting the lakes and woods for deer and beavers." Doubtless this settlement was only the temporary habitation of a band of the Wavve- nock Indians. There is now no trace to indicate where these tenants dwelt. Smith's object in publishing this book was to induce the people of England to form a colony, which, had he been successful, might have made this vicinity in- stead of Plymouth the nucleus of New England, but no set- tlements are known to have been made until after the lapse of over a century and a half. The Muscongus Patent was granted by the Council of Plymouth to John lieaucharap of London, and Thomas Leverett of lioston, March 13, 1()21). The limits of the Patent extended from the river Muscongus to Penobscot river on the seaboard, and ran back far enough to embrace HISTORICAL 9 an extent of territory equal to 30 square miles. On the death of Beauchamp, Leverett as survivor succeeded to the estate. In 1719 John Leverett, who was then president of Harvard College, representing himself as sole heir of his grandfathers estate, came into posession of the whole Patent. Finding it difficult to establish his claim as sole proprietor, he divided the estate into ten shares, granted one share to a son of (Jov. Bradford, one share to an adopt- ed son of Sir Wra. Phipps who brought into the company the Indian deed which his father had bought of Madocawando in 1094, and thus secured the title the Tarretines claimed in the territory — two shares to Elisha Cook, and one each to four others, descendants of Thomas Leverett, holding two shares himself. These were known as the "ten proprietors." Soon after this twenty others became associated with them, when they were called the "Thirty Proprietors." After the treaty of Utrech, one David Dunbar, Surveyor General of the Woods to His Majesty, claimed a quit rent for the kiug. Fearing the loss of their right to the territory the thirty proprietors engaged the services of B>rig. Samuel Waldo to go to England to obtain a relinquishment of the claims presented. After untiring application at court he succeeded in getting Dunbar removed, and in accomplishing his mission. On his return the thirty proprietors joined in surrendering to him for his service one half of the Patent. In 1732 Waldo caused his portion to be set off, and by send- ing agents to Germany who held out attractive inducements to emigrants, soon formed quite a German colony at Broad Bay. Tradition says that Waldo died while locating the 10 HISTORICAL bounds of his Patent, in the vicinity of Eddington Bend. A short time previous to Waldo's death, it was agreed to dissolve the partnership existing between the different parties owning the then Muscongus grant, but the necessary surveys were not made until after the death of Waldo. The Ten Proprietors and the Twenty Associates, as these two companies became designated, had agreed to accept as their proportion 100,000 acres each. The surveyors were delayed from year to year, until 1766, when John Jeffries, one of the twenty associates, and the heirs of others, by petition ob- tained a warrant to call a meeting of the proprietors. The meeting was called on the 6th of Sept. when sixteen of the original twenty associates were represented. They chose a committee to confer with the heirs of Gen. Waldo respecting the 100,000 acres belonging to them and to report. This resulted in the selection by the Twenty Associates, of the territory now included in Camden, Rockport, Hope, Apple- ton, Montville and a part of Liberty. This was surveyed and set off, the deed bearing the date April 7, 1768. It was not until 1773 that the ten Proprietors had their portion set off by the Waldo heirs, when, instead of the 100,000 acres, they accej^ted 90,000 in one entire tract. They, supposing the Patent extended as far back as Bangor, selected Frankfort, part of Monroe, the whole of Hampden, and a large part of liangor ; but when the boundaries of the Patent were established it was found that the northern line of Frankfort was the northern limit of the Patent. Thus the Ten Proprietors lost all they claimed except about 43,- 000 acres. Redress was sought but the Proprietors never HISTORICAL 11 obtained any satisfaction for their loss. The rest of the Musconous (Jrant, containing about 400,000 acres and including the territory south of that al- lotted to the Twenty Associates, lying between the Penob- scot and the Muscongus rivers, fell to the Waldo heirs, which was finally set off in a deed of severance about 1773, when it took the name of Waldo Patent. EARLY SETTLEMENTS IN CAMDEN AND ROCKPORT In 17()8 "The Twenty Associates" or "the Lincolnshire Company," as they were sometimes called, had the planta- tion subsequently known as Camden, surveyed by David Fales, Esq., of Thomaston. The boundaries then determined upon have since been somewhat changed. According to his survey, the township was six miles in length, by five miles and sixty-two rods in width. According to this measurement, Camden mountains were then embraced in Canaan, or Lincoln ville, as it is now called. The strip of territory north of the above mentioned line was ceded to Camden by Canaan, before Camden was incorpor- ated, in answer to the prayer of certain petitioners, who wished to be set off because of the close proximity of the har- bor village. The other boundaries were nearly the same as are described in the first act of incorporation. The southeast 12 HISTORICAL corner is indicated by a rock marked A. X. on the north side of Owl's Head bay. From thence, according to the act of incorporation the line runs "northwest by north seven miles and sixty-four poles," which brings it to the southern corner of Hope, Thence it runs "northeast five miles and ninety- four poles,'' which brings it to the eastern corner of Hope, and then takes in the ceded territory by "running east three miles and a half and twenty poles to a spruce tree;" thence it runs "southeast by south one mile to Little Ducktrap," and "thence by the sea shore in a westerly direction to the bounds first mentioned,"— at Owl's Plead bay. According to these limits, Camden contained 23,500 acres which remained unchanged until the division of the town in 1891. In 1767 James Richards moved his family from a place on the Piscataqua river, N. H., to Bristol, Maine, where he resided until 1768, during which year he (;ame down to the then wilderness of the township of Camden at the Harbor, then known by the Indians under the name of Negunticook, or ]\Iegunticook, as it is now spelled, where he erected a rude log hut. The following spring, May 1769, Mr. Richards embarked in a vessel with his family, bound for his destined home. As they entered the harbor, (on the 8th of May) the African cook pointed to the island at the entrance and exclaimed, "Dare, — dat's my island ! " and it was thenceforth known as Negro Island. At that time there were a few Indians' wigwams on what is now called Eaton's point, and also on Beauchamp point. The Indians were always friendly, but Mrs. Richards used sometimes to feel somewhat alarmed as they came to the HISTORICAL 13 cabin in the abseDce of her husband to grind their toma- hawks upon the grind-stone at the door. The same year Mr. Richards' two brothers, Joseph and Dodapher, joined him. In the following July Robert Thorn- dike, who was born in Beverly, but then lived in Portland, came and settled at Goose River— now Rockport. He brought with him seven children. Mr. Thorndike possessed a tolerable knowledge of the place before, as he had been here two or three years previous with his vessel to cut tim- ber. The next settler who followed Mr. Richards at the har- bor was Maj. Wilham Minot, of Boston, who settled at the foot of Megunticook stream, upon which he erected the first grist and saw mill. His house was the first framed house erected in Camden. Lewis Ogier, of French descent, came next, — from Quebec. Mr. Thorndike at Rockport, was next joined by his brother Paul, and James Simonton, and afterwards by John Harkness, Peter Ott, Jno. Ballard and others. Also near the same time, William Gregory, Mark Buckland, Will- iam Porterfield and William Upham settled at Clam Cove. From this time, the settlement gradually began to increase until the commencement of the Revolution, when immigration ceased. Robert Thorndike was the first white male child born in Camden, including Camden and Rockport. He was born at Goose River (Rockport) Sept. 17, 1773. During the Revolution a number of the settlers returned to their former homes, but upon the conclusion of peace the tide of immigration again turned toward the Province of Maine. Efforts were made to procure settlers by the twenty M HISTORICAL associates, who made an agreement with Chas. Barrett, of Ipswich, N. H., to procure settlers. Barrett was to build a meeting house, a school house, and to obtain forty settlers to locate in the present town of Hope and the western part of Camden. Among those who availed themselves of the attractive inducements which were offered, and who located in that territory mentioned were: the Saffords, Philbricks, Barretts, Mansfields, Hodgmans, Russells, Hosmers and Appletons. Many of these came here in 1785 and 1786. Samuel Appleton came'from Boston, accompanied by several others, and erected a log hat where a number of his associ- ates lived with him until they were able to make clearings for themselves. Nathaniel Hosmer was one of these. He came from Mason, N. H., and finally settled on the place known as the old Hosmer place. He erected a cabin near the pond, and the following summer erected a frame house. Job Hodg- man, who married Hosmer's sister, came that spring, and soon after, Asa Hosmer, Nathaniel's brother, with two other sisters; then came Samuel Russell and John Sartelle who married these sisters, Eunice and Tabatha, and settled in the vicinity. William Molyneaux, who took a very prominent part in developing the early town, about 1786, purchased of the Lincolnshire Company the whole of Beauchamp Neck and other parcels of land at the Harbor, together with the land at the foot of the pond, and erected a grist mill and a saw mill on the stream at the outlet of the lake. Up to the year 1790 there was not a passable road in the plantation of Camden three miles in length. There was a foot path running from St. George through Camden to HISTORICAL 15 Sandy Neck, in Prospect; this at first was indicated only by a line oi spotted trees through the unbroken forest. On the 10th of Nov. 1790, a road was laid out extending from Thom- aston, now Rockland, to Camden Harbor, and thence to "Little Duck Trap" which is the first road we find any record of in the town. INCORPORATION Up to the year 1791 Camden was only known as a plan- tation, defined as being- in the County of Hancock, *Province of Maine, aad Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The appel- lation of Negunticook, or Mengunticook, up to this time was sometimes given to the whole plantation, but generally it was applied to the settlement at the harbor, of which place the name is most happily suggestive. On the 17th of February, 1791, "the plantation of Cam- den" became incorporated as the 72d town inthestate. The name of Camden was bestowed upon the township by the Twenty Associates, in honor of Lord Camden, a parliamen- tary friend of the colonists prior to, and during the Revolu- tionary war. The first town meeting was held at the inn of Peter Ott, on the 4th of April, 1791. The officers there chosen were: William Gregory, moderator; John Harkness, town clerk; John Harkness, 1st selectman ; William Gregory, 2d select- man; William McGlathry, 3d selectman; Paul Thorndike, 16 HISTORICAL constable; Nathaniel Palmer, tax collector; Joseph Eaton, treasurer. After disposino; of the ordinary town business they pro- ceeded to vote for William Lithgow, Esq., for Representative to Congress, casting thirty-two votes. John Hancock for Governor, and Samuel Adams for lieut. Gov. each received twenty-six votes. In 1782 we find there was a law in force authorizing the selectmen to warn all new comers or transient persons out of town who had not made application to the proper town authorities for the purpose of becoming permanent residents. On one precept, served Jan. 2nd, 1792, we find the names of twenty-two men, women, and children who were thus "warned outof town." Among this number were thenamesof several who were afterwards considered among the first citizens of the town in wealth and respectability. The object of this law was to prevent persons becoming chargeable as paupers to any place: It was a relic of England, but was not long continued. At this time there was but one pauper in town. She was kept by different persons for lOs. per week> During the year 1794 a postofiice was established in town, with Joseph Eaton as postmaster. This office was in the house known as the old Eaton house, situated on Eaton's Point. Geo. Russell of Castine, was mail-carrier, traversing the route from St. George to Sandy Point and back about once a week. When within about half a mile of the postoffice the carrier heralded his approach by sounding a post-horn. Mr. Eaton was succeeded as postmaster by John Hathaway who was followed by Benjamin Gushing. HISTORICAL 17 In the town records of March 4, 1800, there was an arti- cle, "To see what the tow'n will do in regard to setting off a part of Camden joininp; the northerly part of Thomaston to make another town," A committee was appointed and the survey made, but no definite action was taken on the article afterward. The dividino; line as surveyed, was to commence between Goose River, (Rockport), and Clam Cove, and run northerly to the Hope line. 1823. The first steamboat that sailed eastern waters commenced to visit Camden. Her name was the "Maine," Capt. Daniel Lunt, C immander. She was of about 125 tons burden and plied between Bath and the Penobscot ports. 1832. The town voted to build a town-house "forty by thirty-two feet, one story hioh." The first town meeting held in this house was on Sept. 9th, 1833. Previous to this the meetings were held sometimes in private houses, some- times in school houses, sometimes in the church. 1835. The town voted to choose Hon. Jos. Hall as agent to solicit the V. S. engineer to survey a route to Cam- den Harbor for the Canada Railroad. Many believed the road would come here, but their dream was not realized. 183(5. The Megunticook Bank was chartered, with Wm. Carlton, pres., Warren Rawson, Esq., cashier. Capital stock, 150,000. 1840. A postoffice was established at Goose River, Silas Piper, postmaster. In the month of May, 1852, the citizens of (loose River decided to change the name of their village and postoflBce, choosing the name of Rockport as one most appropriate to 18. HISTORICAL the locality ; this choice met with some criticism from their well meaning neighbors at Rockland, but the name was retained and has become dear to its every citizen. On Feb. 25, 1891, a division of the town was made, the northern part being set off to iorm a new town but taking the name of the old town — the southern portion, or the town proper taking the name of Rockport. HISTORICAL 19 MILITARY MATTERS The military history of Camden and Rockport is brilliant with the noble achievementsof the many brave sonswhohave so readily responded to the call of the nation in time of need. Also at the breaking out of the Revolutionary war the set- tlers located here with 2 or 8 exceptions were iound to be of the band of patriots who were ready to fight for their lib- erty, and to die if need be that those who already had so many hardships to contend with, might not have the added burden of excessive and uofair taxation. From its situation on the bay and its accessible harbor, Camden was the scene of several depridations perpetrated by the Tories and Brit- ish troops. The vicinity was often frequented by "saving- mills," as the barges of British marauders were called, in which they came to plunder the settlers of their cattle, sheep and poultry, and frequently committing personal outrages. Many are the interesting accounts of skirmishes had, but we must mention only one: About 1779, Megunticook, as Cam- den was then called, was visited by the enemy. An American coaster was pursued by a British barge. The coaster, con- taining about a dozen men, w as run ashore at Ogier's Cove, when the alarm w^as given to Leonard Metcalf, residing in 20 HISTORICAL that vicinitj^, who alarmed the neighborino^ settlers. They soon came to the rescue, and secreting themselves in ambush with the vessel's crew, awaited the approach of the enemy. When within shooting distance, a volley from three of the settler's guns held them in check. Metcalf then ran out from the thicket and fired at them, when he would run back, load again, and repeat the act. The enemy thus being held in check did not dare advance for fear of their liv^es, and soon concluded to withdraw. The next day, the settlers suppos- ing the enemy would return to take the prize when the tide should be favorable, mustered those in the vicinity of Goose River, and awaited their appearance, but the English did not think it proper to renew the attempt. On the next ris- ing tide the vessel sailed from the harbor. The British took possession of Biguyduce (Castine) on the 12th of June, 1779, and Massachusetts formed the scheme to dislodge them. A force of 1200 men were to be raised in the counties of Cumberland and Lincoln, which lat- ter included Camden at that time. Among those who enlisted from this place the names of Wm. (Jregory, Peter Ott, Andrew Wells, and Leonard Metcalf appear on the pay-roll. The expedition against Biguyduce was unsuccessful and sev- eral men were lost. The troops were somewhat scattered, one division of the main force following the shore and pass- ing through Belfast and Camden. Before this expedition Gen. (Jeo. Ulmer, of Ducktrap, threw up a slight timber breastwork on the summit of Pine Hill, and after this defeat Camden was looked to for protection by the settlers all along the Penobscot river. As soon as the British gained HISTORICAL 21 possession of the Peninsula, Captain Brewer and others with their families from all alonty the river procured a passage on a vessel to Camden, of which (leu. Uhner took command. The inhabitants of Belfast, rather than take the oath of allegiance to Great Britain, left their homes, to a man, and came to Camden. About half-a-dozen families remained here while the others went on to Warren, Saco, Bristol, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Most of those who halted at Camden, found quarters at Clam Cove, at the homes of Tollman, (Jregory, and others; and at the Harbor at Mr. Richards', and at the River, at the house of Mr. Thorndike, and others. None were safe here until the close of the war, when many returned to their former homes, but to find that their houses, in many instances, lay in ashes. In 1812 Camden again found herself in the midst of war. Space torbids that we give in detail the accounts of the many interesting events which took place in this vicinity, the many deeds of valor performed by those of the citizens of Camden who took so active part in the coast defences and in general hostilities. After the call for militiamen, 2,500 of which were Maine's appointment, this town appointed a "Commit- tee of Public Safety," and at the same time voted "Unani- mously that every Citizen (whether exempt from military duty or not) forthwith arm and equip himself for actual ser- vice, to be ready at a moment's warning to assist in repelling foreign invasions or any emergency for the defence of the Town." The same spirit continued throughout the war. Many coasting vessels from Comden were attacked, and sev- eral captured by the British privateers ; while, in turn, these 22 HISTORICAL hardy seamen aided in the capture, or defeat, of the British rovers. Several Companies were formed in Camden inchiding citizens from Thomaston, Hope, Warren, and St. George. The names of the officers of these companies in 1814 were as follows: Of the Light Infantry Co., Calvin Curtis, Capt. ; Edward Hanford, Lieut.; Arthur Pendleton, Ensign; Wm. Brown, 1st Sergeant; Simeon Tyler, 1st Corp.; numbering including officers, 27 men. Of the 1st Infantry Co., Asha Palmer, Capt. ; Noah Brooks, I^ieut. ; Joseph Hall, Ensign. Of the 2nd Infantry Co., of West Camdeo, Samuel Tolman, Capt.; James Packard, Lieut. These companies belonged to the 5th Regiment of which Erastus Foote, of Camden, was Colonel, or chief in command. Of the Cavalry Co. Isaac Barnard was Captain ; being later succeeded by Philip Ulmer. During the month of July of this year, a party of the enemy was dispatched in the night time from two armed ships lying at the mouth of St. George's river, and proceeded to the fort below Thomaston. At the fort, where they met with no resistance, they destroyed the munitions of war and six cannon, set fire to the buildings and one vessel, and towed away two others. Thence they proceeded up the river toward Thomaston, but were dissuaded from their course. These manoeuvers of the enemy in adjacent territory induced thecitizensof Camden to take the utmost precaution against an attack. Guards were stationed from Camden harbor to Clam Cove, and the strictest militery surveillance maintained. Two fortifications were erected and garrisoned at the harbor, one on Jacob's Point, and one on Eaton's Point. Also an 18-pounder that had been spiked by the enemy at Fort HISTORICAL 23 George was brought and planted on the top of Mt. Batty ; a barrack was erected on the mountain and the necespary munitions of war provided. The men who were stationed on the mountain were Corporal Jonathan Leighton, Jesse Derry, Isaac Sheldon, James Metcalf and Robert Corthell, privates. In Aug. 1814 the U. S. corvette, Adams, ran ashore on the Isle au Haute. After being gotten off in a critical condi- tion, she left 25 men, disabled by scurvy, and about GO pris- oners, at Camden, and sailed up the river to Hampden, where she was attacked soon after by a British fleet from Halifax. Space forbids a recital of this interesting battle, in which the noble patriots, uuder (leneral Blake were inglori- ously defeated. The Adams was burned by her gallant com- mander, and a scene of pillage and wanton destruction ensued, such as has never occurred elsewhere in the state in civilized warfare. Many other interesting events took place in Camden before peace was restored in Dec. 1814, but we must add only the names of a few citizens who played important parts in the war, either as home guards, local privateers, or in the general service. Asa Richards and Peter Oat, son of Peter Ott, Paul Thorndike, who was captured and imprisoned at Dartmoor, Eng. ; Capt. Stephen Rollins; Lieut. Isaac Russ; AsaSartelle; Capt. Chesley Blake, afterward commander of the first steamboat that plied between Detroit and Buffalo, on Lake Erie; Adj. Wm. Carlton; Wm. Tarr; Capt. Wm. Blake; Wm. Metcalf; Richard Conway; John Tarr; and others. At the breaking out of the Civil war the town was found 24 HISTORICAL among the most loyal in the state, while the men she sent into the field performed many deeds of valor that caused their names to stand out among those who won honor to themselves and victory for the Union and Liberty. The total number of men sent by the town of Camden, then embracing both Rockport and Camden, was 458. We are unable to say how many of these were residents of the part now incorporated in the town of Rockport. We must not give the whole list of soldiers for space forbids. HISTORICAL 25 INDUSTRIAL ACCOUNT The first industry to be conducted in the territory com- prisino; the entire town of old Camden, now Camden and Rockport, was tlie saw and grist mill built by Maj. William Minot, in 1767, on Megiinticook stream. Previous to this the settlers carried their corn upon their backs through the woods to Warren. Miuot's mill, in turn, was resorted to by the settlers of Union and Belfast. Most of the early pioneers secured their means of subsistance by farming, fishing, or hunting. About 1786, Wm. Molyneaux, Esq., of Boston, erected two mills, a grist mill and a saw mill, on the stream at the foot of Canaan, or Molyneaux's Pond. We will here quote from the journal of Rev. Paul Coffin, D. 1)., of Buxton, who preached here. He wrote under date of Aug. 15, 179G : "Camden, formerly Megunticook. Squire McGlathry treated me with true and simple politeness and hospitality. This is a place beautiful for situation, and promising for trade. The harbor, a mill for boards and corn on a fresh stream, and the adjacent gently rising lands, made a good appearance, and are quite convenient. The back country, east and west, have no market but this. One ship and a schooner have this year been launched here, and six or seven heavy vessels are on the stocks. The roads are here beaten and worn. The place looks more like home, and a seat of trade, than Ducktrap, Northport, or Belfast. Eight years have done all this. The squire has sold one-fourth of an acre of land for |100. About fifteen neat houses, some large, with other 26 HISTORICAL buildings, make the appearance of a compact town. The harbor is full of pleasant islands." We can give no better picture of the town at that time than the above. This town, we believe, was one of the first in the state to be supplied with a water system. In 1800, Micah and Wm. Hobbs came from Princeton, Mass., and contracted with Jacob Reed to lay an aquaduct from a spring at the base of the mountain to the Harbor village. This was a stock com- pany, but was generally participated in by the people of the village. Between 1812 and 1818 another conduit was laid leading from a spring in James Richard's field, from which the more southerly part of the village was supplied with water. Gen. Nathaniel Estabrook established salt works on Beauchamp Neck at an early date, about 1825, which was the principal, if not the only industrial establishment in that part of the town. This, however, was not a paying invest- ment and was not long continued. Ebenezer H. Barrett and John Swann erected a paper mill at a cost of |5000 where they manufactured forty dollars' worth of paper per day. In 1841 the mill was burned. LIME INDUSTRY The lime industry in this town, like several others in this county, has been a leading one. It has been the means of the growth of the leading places in this region. This indus- try coupled with the shipbuilding and ice industry has fur- nished Rockport's industrial life. HISTORICAL 2? Away back in the time of General Knox who lived in Thomaston, lime rock was hauled away from this town. The harbor was ver}^ advantaoeously formed for this indus- try, and the lime rock jutted so close to the water's edo;e that it was more easily obtainable than at any other ooint about Penobscot Bay. Tradition, at least, has it that lime rock was hauled away from Rockport harbor even before the product of the first quarry at Thomaston, which has in later years come to bear the name of the Prison Quarry. However much truth there may be in the tradition we are unable to state. But we know that from the very earliest time the lime industry has to a greater or lesser degree demanded the attention of the people of this town. The history of hme burning in Rockport may be divided into two different periods, — the days before the advent of the patent kiln and the period since that time, notfarfrom 1850. In the time previous to the patent kiln the industry was confined to the farms and individual plants. Nearly every farm in the town had a lime kiln, and every farmer made the work of quarrying and burning lime a part of the work of the farm every year. Traces of these old kilns are still vis- sible on nearly all farms in town. The advent of the patent kiln, as before stated (about 1850) sounded the knell of the old fashioned wood kiln and of the individual effort at the industry. The patent kiln enabled the operator to keep the work moving continually, and much more rapidly, thus turning out a larger product. In the old days prior to 1854 some of the leading men in the business were as follows: Browns, Barretts, Robert and 28 HISTORICAL Paul Thorndyke, Eben Thorndyke. About the time of the advent of the patent kiln those enojaojed in the business along the shore of the bay were as follows : H. A. Barrows; Carleton, Norwood & Co.; Alexander Martin; Concifort Barrows; Mr.Sweetland; Joseph Andrews; Robert and Patrick McLaughlin; Paul Thorndyke; Eben Thorndyke; Graffam; John Harkness; William Brown; Jotham Shepherd; Amos and Samuel Barrett; John and Charles Barrett. When the patent kiln came into use the following con- cerns did the most of the business : Carleton, Norwood & Co. ; A. Martin; William and Elbridge Carleton; G. F. Burgess; David Talbot; E.Merriam; Jotham Shepherd '; Christopher Young; Granville E. Carleton; and John H. Eells. The quarrying of the rock was in some respects a separ- ate industry from that of burning the rock. Some concerns quarried the rock alone and some both quarried and burned the rock. The electric road which has been installed, has been of immense value in transporting the rock from the quarry to the kiln. Carleton, Norwood & Co. were the chief quarriers before the patent kiln. In 1900 a new move was made in the lime industry by the formation of a combination in the business known as the "Syndicate." The Rockport concerns who sold their property to the new concern were: S. E. & H. L. Shepherd; Carleton, Norwood & Co.; and G. E. Carleton. J. H. Eells at Simonton has continued an independent business. It is a hard matter to state with accuracy the actual number of hands employed in the lime industry in this town, HISTORICAL 29 as the work varies each year and numerous things enter to make it a hard matter to estimate the number of employees, but it has been estimated that the usual force in town is not far from 200 men. It is very easily seen that the prosecu- tion to full capacity of this industry means much to the town. SHIPBUILDING Rockport has also been one of the leading towns in this section for shipbuilding. The Eells shipyard, we are told, was the first of importance in Rockport, with the date 1841 or thereabout. Carleton, Norwood & Co. have been the largest shipbuild- ers in town. This concern has averaged to build about one vessel per year since they have been in the business. Tlie largest vessel built in the Rockport yards was llie Frederick Billings built by Carleton, Norwood & Co. in 1885. She had the following dimensions: 2628 tons gross, 2497 net, 281 feet long, 44 feet beam, and 20 feet dfep. This concern has employed about 40 men ; sometimes more than that number. The shipbuilding industry has not been so important as the lime business, but furnishes much emplojmient and presents a meaus of drawing business in large degree. Other shipbuilders have been : David Talbot, John & Chas. Barrett, AU)ert S. Eells, John Pascall, Mr. Patrick Simonton and others. In fact, in the earlier days almost anyone who had means and favorable location built smaller vessels for the carrying or fishing trade. 30 HISTORICAL ICE BUSINESS For many years the manufacture of ice for the local mar- ket and for southern ports has been a source of much benefit to the town industrially. The supply is secured from a sheet of water locally known as Lily Pond which is verj'^ largely fed from springs, insuring a very excellent supply of ice. The supply of ice is not far Irom 40,000 tons per acre as cut from this pond. The principal operators in this region are the Rockport Ice Co. Those engaged to any extent in the business before the consolidation into the Rockport Ice Co. were: Pitts & Hobbs, probably the first; William and Elbridge Carleton ; Messrs. Talbot, Rust, Gould & Bar- rett Co. The output of this region has been greatly curtailed by the recently invented process of freezing ice by mechanical methods. HISTORICAL 31 PENOBSCOT VIEW GRANGE. Penobscot View Grange is a new org;anization in the place. It was organized March 24, 1902 by State Master, ObacJiah Gardner and County Deputy F. A. Perry, Jr., with 27 charter members. The first officers of this Grange were: Frank H. Ingra- ham. Master; Parks Bunker, Charles A. Sylvester, Henry J. Billings, Hiram M. Gregory, Lizzie E Gregory, Margaret Billings, James E. Rhodes 2d, Lendon C. Jackson, S. Louise Shaw, Bell M. Gregory, Hattie A. Buker, Ava W. Jackson. The remaining charter members were: Elizabeth H. In- graham, Susan F. Studley, Delia A. Flanders, Frank B. Miller, Herbert N. Brazier, Clara AV. Brazier, Bessie A. Hewett, Lizzie F. Sylvester, Laura S. Sylvester, Melinda G. Hall, ^lary Lane Herrick, Benjamin H. Hall, Olive J. Ma- gune, Emily V. Hall. The present officers are: Frank H. Ingraham, Master; Herbert N. Brazier, Overseer; Charles A.Sylvester, I^ecturer; William H. Larrabee, Steward; Will W. Smith, Assistant Steward; Elizabeth H. Ingraham, Chaplain; Alfred Murry, Treasurer; Herbert W. Keep, Secretary; William A. Lamp- son, Gate Keeper; Melinda (r. Hall, Ceres; Cretia F. Larra- bee, Pomona; Lizzie F. Sylvester, Flora; Helen E. Flan- ders, Lady Asst. Steward. Present membership is 101. This society meets every Thursday at 7.30 o'clock, P. M. 32 HISTORICAL PROFESSIONAL MEN. PHYSICIANS. 'The first physician of whom we have record in town was Dr. Isaac Barnard, who came to the Harbor about 1787. Here he remained five or six years and married a Miss Toll- man ; he then removed to the River where he remained but a short time, moving out of town. Later physicians have been H. B. Eaton, Sr.; Dr. Hav- ener; O, E. Ross; Dr. Frank Piper; H. B. Eaton, Jr.; H. E. Abbott; S. Y. Wiedman; Mrs. Clara B. Wiedman ; and Mrs. Julia W. Haney. LAWYEKS. Rockport has not been favored with an unsually large number of members of the bar. So far as we have been able to learn the lawyers who have lived in Rockport have been N. T. Talbot, John S. Foster, G. H. M. Barrett, Benjamin Foster, Mr. Moody, and Frank H. Ingraham. HISTORICAL 33 CHURCH AFFAIRS. The earliest account of the church in this town is not strictly to the credit of the town, although perhaps not so much to their discredit as would appear. The earliest men- tion of the church in the town records we believe is under date of 1794 when the article was inserted in the town war- rant "To see what the town will do in regard to an indict- ment against them for neglecting for the space of three years last past to procure and maintain as the law obliges a settled ordained minister." A committee was appointed to contest the case before the Supreme Court held in Hallov\ell but decision was made that the town should pay the full fine, 2 pounds, 14 shillings, 6 pence. This state of affairs may have been pardonable, however, to some degree for the scarcity of ministers in this section of the state at this time is demonstrated by a letter written by the Hon. Gen. Lincoln, relating to the "Religious state of the Eastern Counties of the District of Maine," dated at lioston, Feb. 10. 1790, in which itisstated, "There are not more than three ordained ministers from Penobscot river to Passamaquoddy, an extent of more than one hund- red miles." Whatever the cause of this state of affairs may have been it is true that the demand generally creates a supply, and we believe the town had no ditticult}' in finding a preacher. At the next annual town meeting it was voted "To raise 30 pounds for the support of the Gospel." k3 34 HISTORICAL On Feb. 4, 1795, the "20 Associates of the Lincolnshire Company" donated to the town "the ministerial lot No. 57; and the school lot, No. 58, adjoining. The first church erected was located on the ministerial lot, we are unable to state the exact date but it was very soon after the above time. Among the early preachers who officiated here were the Reverends: Elisha Shaw, Isaac Case, John Whitney, Joseph Richards, Paul Coffin, John Lathrop, Phineas Pills- bury, Joshua Hall, Joshua Wells, Robt. Yellalee, Aaron Humphrey, and Ephraim Stinchfield. None of these were appointed pastors of the Camden church but officiated in the several churches in this section. We will now take up the history of the churches located in that part which is now Rockport. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. In 1836-7 a Sabba.th school was established at Goose River by two members of the Camden Congregational church. Deacons Stetson and Cobb. There was at that time neither church nor Sunday school of any denomination in the village. Soon after this Mr. W. M. Swan, a Methodist brother from the Harbor joined them bringing a small col- lection of books which he had for his children. These books were bought for a Sunday School library. In 1842 the Methodists drew off from the rest and formed a distinct school by themselves. In 1843 the Universalist members followed the example of the Methodists. In 1850 the Bap- HISTORICAL 35 tiste did the same. In 1850 the Baptists aud Con^regation- alists each built them a house for worship. The Uuiversa- lists had already erected a nieetino- house but we were uuable to learn the exact date. Later the f^piscopals formed them- selves into a church body and worshipped in the church built by the Universalists. Neither the Universalists nor the Episcopals have an organization in the place at the present time. The Congregational church was organized March 2, 1854. They built a chapel on their present lot the following fall and winter. Through the faithful efforts of the ladies of the parish they were able to engage a pastor. The ladies pledged themselves to raise $50 the first 3'ear, having or- ganized themselves into a sewing circle. The church grew from small membership to a prosperous organization, but the membership has of late been diminishing on account of the removal of many of its members and supporters until now they are unable to support a regular yjastor. Those who have served the church as pastors since its organization, together with the dates of their coming, are as follows: Rev. J. B. Howard, 1854; Rev. A. L. Skinner, 1855; Rev. J. E. M. Wright, 1856-64; Rev. Henry Farrar, 1865; Rev. A. J. Smith, 1866; from this date to 1888 there are no records of the doings of the church. We understand from the later records that the church was supplied by several preachers during that time. In 1888 Rev. Mr. Tyler of Camden preached here part of the year, and the year follow- ing; Rev. Mr. Strong, 1891; Rev. Mr. Haughton, 1891-2; Rev. J. J. Walker, 1893; Rev. Mr. Kennison, 1894-5; and 36 HISTORICAL Rev. C. W. Fisher, 1895-8. Since that time the church has been without a regular pastor. METHODIST CHURCH. From the records of the Methodist church we learn that the first Methodist preacher here was Rev. Joshua Hall, who preached in Rockport in 1801. This place was then a part of the Union circuit remaining so until 1827. From that time until 1838 it belonged to the Thomaston circuit. In 1848 the East Maine Conference was organized and Camden became a mission. Rev. John Prince was appointed pastor, and built the first church at Goose River, now Rockport. In 1852 a church was organized at Camden village, and Rockport became a separate charge and has since remained so. In the years 1872-3 while Rev. Chas. Knowles was pastor, the old church was moved to the adjoining lot and a new modern church built on the old site. The parsonage was built in 1857 by Rev. A. C. Godfrey. The following is a list of the faithful men who have served the denomination as preachers here : Reverends, Joshua Hall, 1801; Joseph Baker; Daniel Ricker, 1802-3; Daniel Stinson, 1804; Samuel Wilman, 1805-0; Pliny Bret, 1805; J. Weston, 1800; S. Baker, 1807; John Williamson, 1808-9; Benj. Jones, 1809; David Stinson, 1810; Geo. Carey, 1810; N. B. Ashcroft, 1811; Amasa Taylor, 1812; John Jewett, 1813; Jonah Cheney and Joseph White, 1814; Benj. Jones, 1815; Daniel Wentworth, 1816; Wm. McBray and Jerry Marsh, 1817; HISTORICAL 37 Henry Tyne, 1818-19; Jonah Brigcrs, 1820; Jonathan Lewis, 1821-22; Nathan Debro, 1822; Sullivan Bray, 1823- -4; David Stinson, 1825-6; Elijah Kellogg, 1827; irom 1828 to 1838 the charge was supplied by the following pastors from Thoinaston circuit, Phillip Munger, James Warren, Jesse Stone, E. Brackett, E. Kendall; Wm. McDonald was appointed in 1840; S. S. Cummings, 1842; Chas.Muuger and H. H. Eaton, 1843; F. A. Bean, 1844; P. Jacques, 1845; James Thurston, 1846; J. C. Prince, 1848; S. P.

Folsom, 1894-5; N. R. Parson, 1896-1900; J. H. Gray, 1901-2; H. L Holt, 1903 to the present time. BAPTIST CHURCH. The Rock port Baptist Church was organized May 17, 1842. It grew out of meetings held in a little brick school- house situated under the brow of Diamond Hill, in what was then termed Goose River Village. The church began its 38 HISTORICAL career with twelve disciples, who brouoht their letters of dis- mission from other churches for this purpose. All of this little band have now gone to their long rest. The present buildiug was erected in 1856, and was re- built, and re-dedicated June 7, 1888. It is situated on the corner of Commercial and Amesbury streets. The following is the list of pastors who have served the church, with their dates of appointment, generally serving until their successors' arrival. C. C. Long, 1842. Winthrop O. Thomas, 1845. Job Washburn, 1848. James Williams, 1852. Holmes Chipman, 1855. James Williams, 1857. Asa Perkins, 1860. Rev. Mr. Emerson, 1863-4. Rev. Mr. Lewy, Rev. Mr. Holman, D. C. Bixby, 1872. F. W. Ryder, D. D., 1876. C. M. G. Harwood, 1881. F. A. Snow, 1888. Henry B. Woods, 1891. S. E. Packard, 1897. George S. Bennett, 1900. Walter P. Bartlett, 1904. HISTORICAL 39 ADVENT CHURCH. The Advents in the place organized a church society here Feb. 24, 1892, and erected a house of worship soon after. Kev. Fred Johnson is the only one who has served the society as the regular pastor, remaining here for three years. Since that time the pulpit has been filled by travel- ing evangelists and preachers from the surrounding towns. 40 HISTORICAL EDUCATIONAL NOTES The first school house of which we have any knowledge was situated on Capt. Jesse Hosmer's land. This was a frame building, part of which was afterwards used by Mr. Coburn Tyler as a dwelling house. Liberal appropriations were made by the newly incorporated town for school expen- ditures. Among the early schoolmasters here were: Asa Hosmer, in 1794, Robert Portersfield and Benj. Stetson fol- lowing. Rev. Joshua Hall, the local IVIethodist preacher in 1802, taught the school for a season, teaching one term at the Harbor, then one at the River. Gradually but surely the interest of the residents became more manifested by the increased support they gave the early schools. New houses were built, new schools estabhshed, and new and improved textbooks used. In 1851 an academy was opened attended by 68 pupils during the first term, but their hope of receiving a grant of land from the State Legislature was not realized and the school was suspended. The present eflficient system of instruction in Rockport shows the careful and progressive management the work has received. The present schools are modeled after the best schools in the state, are well supplied with maps, globes, lab- oratory equipment, etc. The village schools are divided into four grades; primary, intermediate, grammar and high, with two schools of each of the lower grades. The West HISTORICAL 41 Rockport district has been divided and the schools graded as efficiently as possible in the two schools now formed there. Accordino; to the school census taken in April, 1908, there were in town 654 scholars between the ages of 4 and 2] . The report showed an average attendance of about 334 dur- ing the past school year. The rural districts are generally small, but do good work. With the advent of the high S(;hool the efficiency of the local school was greatly augmented, offering to the town's youth the privilege of completing a course of study, or of fol- lowing a College Preparatory course. The school now offers a four years' course as a fitting school and is under the care of H. L. Withee, who has given such eminent satisfaction during the past year. 42 HISTORICAL CIVIL LIST CLERKS SINCE 1858 William Carleton, 1858, '59, '63, '64 E T G Rausom, 1860, '65 B J Porter, 1861, '62 C W Fallansbee, 1866 F H Shaw, 1867, '68, '69 J H Martin, 1870, '71, '72 J H Sherman, 1873-'74 E A Morrill, 1875, "76, '77 E D Merriraan, 1878, '79, '80 A D Champney, 1881, '82, '83, '87, '88 Chas B Vezie, 1884, '85, '89, '90 J C Paul, 1886 Since the division of the town the following have served CEPaul, 1891, '92 Leroy F Gardiner, 1893, '94 John E Leach, 1895, '96, '97, '98 W F Dillingham, 1899, 1900, '01, '02, '03, '04 SELECTMEN SINCE 1858 1858— Hiram Bass, A Merriman, John C Cleveland 1859— E M Wood, A 8 Eells, J C Cleveland 1860— E M Wood, A S Eells, J C Cleveland HISTORICAL 43 1861— E G Knight, W H Washburn, E S Crandon 18()2— J H Curtis, W IT Washburn, Otis Ingraham 1863— S T Cleveland, Hanson Andrews, A Bird 1864—5 — S T Cleveland, Hanson Andrews, Almon Bird 1866— Edward Freeman, C F Richards, Hiram Bass 1867 — C F Richards, Andrew McCobb, Thomas Hemingway 1868— E M Wood, C F Richards, C A Sylvester 1869— F M Wood, G F Burgess, 1^] F Leach 1870— C M Wood, A S Fells, E F Leach 1871-72-73-74— Joseph Stetson, Joseph W Thorndike, Ezekiel Vinal 1875— J F Stetson, C S Packard, A R Tolman 1876— J F Stetson, J W Ingraham, A R Tolman 1877— J F Stetson, J W Ingraham, A R Tolman 1878-79-80— John P Wellman, J S Fells, Otis A Fisk 1881-2 — J P Wellman, Jere Mclutire, A Lamson 1883- W D Pierce, J W Thorndike, J P Simonton 1884— J P Wellman, J W Ingraham, Otis A Fisk 1885— T A Hunt, J W Thorndike, J P Simonton 1886— T A Hunt, F H Shaw, D J Andrews 1887— Alden Miller, Jr, J S Fuller, 1) J Andrews 1888-89— Alden i\Iiller, Jr, J S Fuller, Elliott Oberton 1890—1) A Campbell, E H Piper, Elliott Oberton Since the division of the town the following have served : 1891-92— G H M Barrett, Elliott Oberton, Chas A Sjlvester 1893-94— G H M Barrett, G T Harkness, L B Brewster 1895— F W Andrews, J S Fuller, O A Fisk 1896-97-98-99- F W Andrews, J W Ingraham, O A P^isk 44 HISTORICAL 1900— F W Andrews, J W Shibles, Daniel Keller 1901— F W Andrews, J W Shibles, Daniel Keller 1902— F W Andrews, W H Clough, Daniel Keller 1903— F W Andrews, W H Clough, Isaac B Keene 1904— F W Andrews, C S York, O A Fisk HISTORICAL 45 BUSINESS DIRECTORY Postmasters— John Harkness; West, John W Oxton ; Rockville, Hiram Ewell; Glen Cove, Mrs. E H Ingham *Se7ectmez2— Fred W Andrews; Corydon S York; West, A Fiske Town C/erA'— Winslow F Dillingham Treasurer— A D Champney Collector— C Fred Knight Constables— C Fred Knight, Geo A Barlow, Chas A Morse Road Commissioner— C A Carleton School Committee— B, W Carleton, A F Piper; Glen Cove, Chas J Gregory Supt—T E Brastow Board of Health— i^ Y Weidman, Sec C/e7'^.F/nez2— Walter P Barrett, Bap ; T E Brastow, vacant, Cong; HIHolt, Meth: supplies.
