* BOARDMAN, TIMOTHY, of Wethersfield, 9th child of Dan-


* Joshua and Timothy Boardman, brothers, sons of Daniel, were active men. Joshua re- moved to Springfield, and Timothy settled at Wethersfield. They were large landholders in Maine, the west side of Broad Bay, and Gen. Knox's land thirty miles square, lay east of the Bay, opposite their lands. His title was fromn Waldo, who brought with him several German families from Germany, and located them on Boardman's lands, and left them, saying to thein, that one Boardnian was the owner, and that the heirs of the owner liad given up all expecta- tion of holding it. They held by no title except Waldo's putting in possession. Boardman's title was first purchased of the Indians by John Brown, twenty-five miles from Pamaquid, and eight miles wide. Another deed to Nath'l Stillman and Timothy Boardman, from Wm. Huxly and Mindwell, his wife (before marriage, Mindwell Pearse,) of all the lands owned by them from their great-grandfather, John Brown, and their grandfather, Richard Pearse, at New Har- bor, Miscongus, and Damascotte, &c., in the province of Maine, by warrantee Deed, Dated, Dec. 12, 1732, for the consideration of £400. Also all the lands of Nath'l Hainblin, and Mary. (Pearse,) his wife, to Nathaniel Stillman and Gershamn Nott, of all their lands from their great grandfather John Brown, and grandfather Richard Pearse, at the places aforesaid, and all their other land east of the County of York. Also a deed from Eleasan Stockwell, and Sarah his wife, (Pearse,) for £400, to Timothy and Joshua Boardman of the lands aforesaid, deed dated Oct. 17, 1732, which they owned from their great-grandfather Brown, and grandfather Richard Pearse, and many other deeds to said Boardman ; one for eight niiles square. Wm. Frazier, son-in-law of Timothy Boardman, had three-quarters part of one eighth of a tract of land thirty by twenty-eight miles in breadth. The remainder was the property of said Boardmans, the deeds of which are now on record at York, Maine. This valuable tract of Country, was finally lost by the two actual and rightful owners, by suffering Waldo's and other trespassers, to hold it by possession ; which lands are now worth several millions of dollars.
