This town was incorporat- ed by the name of Gorham Oct. 30, 1764.
Captain John Gorham for whom town was named was born in Benefield Northamptonshire Eng. where he was baptised Jan. 28, 1621. He died at Swansea, Mass. Feb. 5, 1676 of disease re- sulting from exposure in the expeditions against the Narragansett Indians in December 1675. The following is an
extract from a letter written by him October 1 1675 to Much honored Gov. Winslow : " For my own part, I shall be ready to serve God and the country so long as I have life and health."
Gorham
is one of the seven townships granted by Gen. Court, in the year 1732 to the Narragansett Soldiers on a division of the property, am- ong the original Grantees, this town was assigned to Capt. John Gorham & 119 others and was then called Narragansett No. 7.
INTRODUCTORY.
N the autumn of 1895 Col. Fredk N. Dow representing the publishers of. the Portland Evening Express, recognizing a growing interest in Historical and Genealogical research, concluded to devote a column or two each week to "Notes and Queries " on these subjects, and invited the compiler to edit the same. To insure a continuity of interest, the vital statistics were carefully copied from the early records of the town of Gorham, Me., arranged in alphabetical order and made a part of each issue.
Linotype machines are used in the composition of the Express, and by the courtesy of the publishers we were permitted to make use of the setting after it had been stereotyped for the paper. As often as a signature of eight pages was complete, one hundred impressions were taken and the type returned to the melting pot. This volume, somewhat an oddity in book typography, is the result.
The proprietors' records of Narragansett No. 7, or Gorhamtown as it was often called, are not now in the possession of the officers of Gorham, and one or more volumes of the town records, covering the years 1770 to 1803 inclusive are also missing.
It is evident that Judge Pierce in writing his admirable history of Gorham had access to both proprietors' and town records for he makes no mention of their loss, although he regrets that "this interest had not been earlier excited, while fuller records and the actors them- selves in these proceedings were accessible."
We therefore conclude that subsequent to 1862 -- the date of Judge Pierce's publication-there was a wholesale removal of books from the town clerk's office, and the
6
INTRODUCTORY.
town left for several years with few records bearing dates prior to the present century. The loss was unaccountable and the mystery not lessened by the return, four or five years ago, of the two oldest volumes of town records express from Boston, consignor unknown.
These old books are in good condition, bound in un- tanned leather and the writing for the most part perfectly legible. The oldest book commences with the record of the first town meeting. It contains a few records of in- tentions of marriage and marriages but is mostly records of the transactions of the town. The second volume was opened by Capt. Wentworth Stuart, town clerk, with his own family record, and our compilation is largely from this book, but including all of the vital statistics in both volumes. The next oldest book now at the clerk's office, was opened in 1804, evidently taking up the vital statistics where Volume II leaves off; we conclude, therefore, that the missing books contain few family records.

THE GORHAMS.
The name of the town symbolizes the patriotism of the early settlers, also an appreciation of personal favors. It not only perpetuates the name of a brave captain who gave his life to his country, but will forever keep in the minds of their children the remembrance of the service of Col. Shubael Gorham, in securing from the General Court of Massachusetts an acknowledgment of their obligations to Capt. John Gorham and his self-sacrificing neighbors, by granting to their heirs the fertile township on the bank of the Presumpscot.
Very few bearing the name of Gorham have had settle- ment in the town, but in the long roll of great and good men who have been proud of their connection with this ancient town none were more beloved and respected in life or regretted in death than William Gorham, a grand- son of Col. Shubael and a great-great-grandson of the famous Narragansett captain.
Judge Gorham was born in Barnstable, July 12, 1743,
IO
INTRODUCTORY.
and settled in Gorham about 1770. He was much in public service and during the war of the Revolution was active on committees of safety and with tongue and pen advocated the cause of the colonies.
He was appointed Judge of Probate in 1782 and Judge of the Court of C. P. in 1787, holding both offices until his death. His first wife was widow Temperance White of Scituate, who died April 1788, aged 43 years. He married the next year, Temperance, daughter of Richard Garrett of Barnstable, who surviving him became the second wife of Dr. Jeremiah Barker of Falmouth, whose first wife was Judge Gorham's sister Abigail.
The following is copied from the Portland Gazette, of Monday, July 30, 1804 :
FUNERAL OF THE LATE JUDGE GORHAM.
On Wednesday last, the remains of the Hon. William Gorham were committed to the grave. A number of citizens of the town of Portland and of other towns, joined those of the town of Gorham, to manifest their last token of respect for their departed friend. The procession was extensive. Besides those who followed the corpse on horseback and on foot, there were upwards of seventy carriages. The order of the procession was as follows :
The Clergy. Justices of the County. Gentlemen of the Bar. The Sheriff.
Pall bearers.
Stephen Longfellow, Esq., John Deane, Esq., Robert Southgate, Esq.,
The Corpse
Pall bearers.
John Frothingham, Esq., George Lewis, Esq., Wm. Thompson, Esq.
Relatives. Citizens of the town of Gorham. Citizens of Portland and other towns.
The procession moved from the mansion of the deceased (that place which once knew him, but will hereafter know him no more) about half after three.
The corpse was carried to the meeting house, about two miles distant, where the following services were well performed, viz :
A Funeral Hymn, by a choir belonging to the Parish. A prayer by the Rev. Mr. Noyes. An Eulogy by the Rev. Mr. Hilliard.

INTRODUCTORY.
The corpse was thence borne to the Grave, followed by the mourners in the same order, and was deposited about half past six o'clock. There it must rest until the voice of the archangel and the trump of God shall at his command call it forth at the general resurrection.
CHARACTER.
"When a Righteous man dies, the people have cause to mourn."
Died on Sunday, the 22d inst., and on Wednesday last was decently interred, the Hon. William Gorham, Esq., Judge of Pro- bate and Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas for the County of Cumberland, aged sixty-one years.
By this event a tender woman is deprived of a kind husband, his acquaintance of an agreeable companion, the widowed and father- less of a good friend, the town of Gorham of a useful citizen, the people of the county of an upright judge, and the public at large of a valuable member of society.
The important affairs he sustained, afforded evidence of the confidence which was placed in his discretion, learning and fidelity.
He was born at Barnstable the 12th of July, 1748, and was descended of respectable parents and grandparents, from whom the town where he has resided upwards of thirty years, had its name. He received his first commission as a justice of the peace from the governor of Nova Scotia, at the age of twenty-four years. His first commission under the Massachusetts government is of an older date than that of any justice in the county, one only excepted. He sustained the office of Judge of Probate about twenty-two and that of Judge of the Court of Common Pleas about twenty-one years.
In his public character he was honored, in his private esteemed. He possessed a benevolent mind, a calm temper, a hospitable dispo- sition, and a truly christian spirit. Without ostentation, he was in the various situations of his life an amiable man, sincere in friend- ship, just in his dealings, agreeable in his conversation, modest in his manner, inoffensive in his conduct, true to his country, and if we may judge from his outward actions, faithful to his God.
But what affords perhaps the best evidence of his virtues, and of his having "a conscience void of offence towards God and man," was the temper and situation of his mind at life's closing scene. When about four months before his death he was attacked by an alarming disorder, he was not terrified at his expected dissolution, but calmly settled his worldly concerns and gave himself up to the will of God. Altho' after his disorder abated he had hopes of recovery, he was prepared for what might be the event, and when it was intimated to him by a friend that it was not probable he would recover, he received the opinion with unconcern; and while his flesh was consuming and his bodily strength failing, his mind was
12
INTRODUCTORY.
tranquil and composed. Comforted by the blessed hope of a true believer in Christ, of his faith in whom he had long ago made a public profession, he waited with great patience until his change came, and with the glorious prospect of future happiness through the merits of his Savior, manifested that " Peace in which a christian can die."
A few days before his death he said to two of his friends that he had never been elated with the honors, nor attached to the pleasures of the world, but had been an honest man : and added "I never was in the upper world, but I have heard that there are many mansions of bliss prepared there for those who are righteous here, and I believe there is one prepared for me." While these sentiments, and the patience and resignation with which he met death, afford conso- lation to his friends, they justify the declaration that
" Faith hath an overcoming power And triumphs in a dying hour."
Trusting Christ, death was disarmed of terror. May all by his example be excited to live the life of the righteous, that our latter end may be like his; and while we mourn that we are deprived of the private conversation and public services of this man, we cannot but rejoice in the thought that he will be forever happy in a better world, for
" Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they rest from their labor, and their works follow them."
