Introductory Compendium.

ORE than a quarter of a century has passed away since the author began to assemble notes containing the documentary data now embraced in this book; the traditional, incidental, and legendary materials represent the gathering of a life-time. An inherent taste for local history and reminiscent narrative of pioneer experience was im- mensely stimulated in early years by association with persons whose birth occurred before the settlement of the township, and by occasional contact with relatives whose mothers' slumbers had been disturbed by the red man's startling war-whoop. Those who are unfamiliar with historic chronology can scarcely comprehend the fact that it has required but three generations to transmit an account, orally, of events that occurred more than two centuries ago. The compiler of this work has conversed with men who had a distinct recollection of the French war and the fall of Louisburg ; and his grandfather, with whom he lived contemporary thirty-five years, was personally acquainted with men who served as scouts against the Pequawket Indians, and often related an account of their adventures as received from their own lips. It will thus be seen that our traditionary history has not traveled so far down the stream of time that its truthfulness need be lost.

When midwinter storms were howling around the high gabled old farm-house, causing its great timbers to quake and creak in every joint; when the snowy wreaths were being woven about the narrow casement, and sharp sleet rattled against the window pane; when King Frost had fringed the door jambs with his royal ermine, and the wind gusts roared in the chimney flue; when the great sheets of flame swayed about the "back-log" and the bank of coals between the fire-dogs glowed like a sunset baptized in liquid gold; when the social tea- kettle sang sweet, simmering songs upon the crane and the gray cat purred in the corner, then the family patriarch and his good dame would beguile the evening hours by relating, in quaint and rustic phrase, incidents of "ye olden time"; some tragic, weird, and serious, others so well seasoned with humor that the mellow old beams overhead became responsive with the echoes of hilarious laughter. From such fountains of inspiration, the author, then a frowzy headed boy upon his lowly "cricket," drank until the impulse for writing chronicles became too strong to be resisted.

At the time researches were instituted for collecting data for this book, there were many venerable persons living, who had passed the whole period of their

INTRODUCTORY COMPENDIUM

existence in the Saco valley, and their vigorous memories were well stored with incidents savoring of their early years. Such were visited, interviewed. and the notes taken down from their recitations were tied in bundles and packed away. The publishers of county history offered tempting sums for this collection of documents, but they were retained to be verified, as far as possible, with the more reliable public records. AA general acquaintance with numerous sources of information, acquired when compiling a " History of the Ancient Ryedales, " greatly facilitated the search for data to be used in this work.

While in Great Britain, during the summer of 1886, the author was favored with the longed-for privilege of examining many ancient records and time- stained documents found in the National Register House, Edinburgh, Scot- land, and in the British Museum and Somerset House, London. The rich and venerable odors of vellum and ripe parchment, that have conserved the quaint, cramped chirography of scribes who drove the crow-quill six centuries ago, to the genuine, mousing antiquary, are as " savory meat that his soul loveth "; and only such as belong to this class of literati can appreciate the mental ex- hilaration experienced when engaged with such pastime. The covers of the old registers, bound in skins dressed into velvet softness that is tickling to the fingers, are warped and corner-worn ; the parchment and paper within is stained. and marked by hands that have long been dust. The old characters used when these records were made puzzle those who have not become familiar with them. Here is a sample :

INTRODUCTORY COMPENDIUM.

To give the reader a faint idea of the pleasure derived during a ten days' search among old documents, relating to the early generations of the Scottish and Shetlandic families, we quote from our note book what was written at the time.

"If I read the name of one who had lived three centuries ago, it instantly became associated with the personality of him who had borne it; while the invisible hand of fancy, with the most delicate facility, drew aside the mystic vail between me and the vanished years, and vividly exhibited for my enraptured contemplation the most realis- tic pictures of the faces and forms of the departed. My spirit seemed to be carried back- ward on the swift pinions of imagination, over the dead eras of time, to the period in which these individuals had lived; they were mentally resurrected for my accommoda- tion, and invested with life for my entertainment; they did not come forward to meet me in transformed adaptation to the active present; but my own capacity for discern- ment and comprehension seemed infinitely enlarged and nicely adjusted to the time in which these beings had walked the earth. Their primitive abodes, even, emerged from the misty obscurity of the past for my inspection and were re-inhabited for the administration of hospitality to him who had journeyed so far over the barren wastes of time to visit them."

More than one hundred pages quarto were filled with closely written notes, copied from the ancient registers of conveyances, "hornings," and births, deaths and marriages, which were brought home to enrich the introductory sections of the family history of those of Scottish and Scotch-Irish extraction, who settled in the Saco valley.

When the compiler began the classification and composition of the mass of indigested matter he had accumulated, there were stupendous chasms to bridge, and many disconnected family chains to be linked together. To procure the addenda necessary for this purpose, the author has traveled hundreds of miles with his team, to copy from probate, town, church, and family records; he journeyed to old homesteads in the Saco valley towns, where documents relat- ing to the early land grants might be found, and there, bureaus, meal-chests, boxes, and birch buckets, containing musty old papers, were overhauled, and wills, deeds, inventories, agreements, petitions, commissions, muster-rolls, and letters examined. We traversed the fields and pastures along the way and crawled on hands and knees through the tangled shrubbery and briars of neg- lected burial-lots, to cut the moss from the leaning and sunken slate head-stones to ascertain the ages of those who had long reposed below. Many interest- ing and mirth provoking adventures occurred during these visitations, and a description of the ignorance and stupidity encountered would not be the least entertaining feature of this book. We cannot refrain from mentioning one old yeoman to whom we applied for family records. He was full of demon- strative unction, but not burdened with "book-larning." Said he: "Now look a-here stranger, there's not a name, date, nor scratch of pen in my house, but if my old Aunt Bets was alive she'd tell ye all about our ge-nology, for she had all the chronicles and proclamations clear back to Adam. But there,

INTRODUCTORY COMPENDIUM

she's dead and lies up yender, so ye cant git a word out of her an' I dunno what ye'll do." Some were suspicious that we had found a "rich dowry " in England, and would not allow us to copy records, lest they should be defrauded out of their share of the treasure. To others we had the infinite pleasure of furnishing the names of grandparents, of whom they had no knowlege. Some were interviewed whose genealogical store was so limited that they could not recall their father's name-if, indeed, they ever had one.

Since taking our seat at the desk-side three years ago, three thousand letters of inquiry have been written, containing from one to eight pages. All of the matter filling three thousand quarto pages of manuscript was written three several times, first, in note books, then arranged on a slate, and finally trans- ferred to paper in form for printing. Considerable was copied by a careful amanuensis in the libraries of Boston, and from probate, town, and church regis- ters, in distant towns and states, by clerks who had custody of such records.

From the first inception of the plan upon which this book was formed. it has been the object of the compiler to produce a reliable and entertaining result. but the attempt has been attended, all along, with almost insuperable obstacles of a character scarcely thought of by the general reader. There is a vast difference between this class of books made from data gathered from innumer- able sources, disconnected and often contradictory in character, and some fictitious work which represents the fruit of a vivid imagination. The material for the former must be searched for as " with a lighted candle "; that for the latter is made to order. The author has had too much experience in this kind of work to even hope that the book will be free from errors; such are abso- lutely unavoidable. When the doctors do not agree, the patient is exposed to danger from their prescriptions. Family records preserved in old Bibles and framed registers do not harmonize with the births. deaths, and marriages recorded in town and church books, while the dates chiseled on the old grave- stones do not correspond with either. Living men and women solemnly declare, upon exclusive opportunity of knowing being the only surviving wit- nesses who were present at the event that they were born several months later than their more honest parents, who made record of their advent, sup- posed they were. To dispel the shadows from wedlock, such " set the clock forward " and confuse the data. Another prolific cause for errors is the illegible and often insufferable chirography the compiler finds in the letters written by those who cannot convey their thoughts to paper. One can sometimes trans- form " pot-hooks " and "trammels" into figures and letters, but what of rams' horns and crookshanks? Those who allow such brain-wearing writing to leave their hands must bear the responsibility of errors resulting from the same.

In the arrangement of the materials incorporated into the topical sections of this work, an effort was made to weave historic incident, tradition, and legend, by a pleasing descriptive style, into a literary fabric, that might, by

VII

INTRODUCTORY COMPENDIUM.

perusal, be equally entertaining to old and young. We have written for the common people with the design of producing a real fireside companion. In illustrating the customs that prevailed among the pioneers, and the manners of the sturdy yeomen and their helpful dames, we have put old wine into old bot- tles ; have purposely employed old-fashioned and obsolete words with a two- fold object. First, such belonged to the period of which we wrote, and were significantly suited for our descriptive treatment; second, they were part of a dialect peculiar to the early settlers, now fast passing away, which we wished to permanently preserve on the printed page. In many instances we have permitted the old fathers and mothers to speak for themselves in their own favorite parlance. The style of composition, to the extent of ability, has been adapted to the character of the various subjects written upon. Dry, hard facts have been recorded in a concrete form ; when the subject was pathetic or picturesque, the resources of the imagination were drawn upon for scenic drapery.

We shall be disappointed if a perusal of the first part of the book does not amuse as well as instruct those who can appreciate lively incident. From long- faced old Pharisees we may look for criticism, because of a light vein running through things ecclesiastic and religious; let them come. We have cordially adopted the sentiment expressed by the saintly and sainted Dean Ramsey, in his popular book on "Scottish Life and Character," in which he writes: "It must be a source of satisfaction to an author to think that he has in any degree, even the lowest and most humble, contributed to the innocent recreation of a world, where care and sorrow so generally prevail." The author's own tem- perament was such that from his youth he saw the humorous side of every event-if such side there was-and his picturesque fancy invested many oc- currences with a lively color, when others saw only the practical, serious, or lamentable. While depicting some amusing episodes, of which he was cogni- zant in early life, he has beguiled many an hour of its sadness, and fondly hopes his readers may find something, formulated by his pen, to divert their minds from the cares and worry of a burden-bearing and rushing age.

Without wishing to offend any one we have written of men and events as they appeared to us without fear or favor. There are plenty of living wit- nesses who can corroborate our descriptive narratives, and we adopt the old adage that "a good story should never be spoiled for relation's sake."

We anticipate expressions of disappointment from such as do not find a his- tory of their families in this book, but there are good reasons for any seeming partiality. First, books devoted to the history of many of the old families have already been compiled and published, among them the genealogy of the Wentworths, Woodmans, Bradburys, Hazeltines, Jordans, Harmons, Cutts, and Scammons. Incidental mention of many members of these old families will be found, but no extended notices. Second, many of the pioneer fami-

VIII

lies did not long remain in the Saco river townships, and only meagre records could be found of them. Third, we have by urgent letters of inquiry sought to compile the history of certain families, but because representatives of the same manifested so much indifference and declined to furnish any information. they were let alone. Fourth, the scope and title of the book did not propose to embrace all Saco valley families; to do this a book would be required as large as that mentioned by the sacred writers. After condensing as much as consistent with the plan of the book it has grown out of all expected propor- tions, and the author regrets that he did not use a coarser sieve when winnow- ing his materials. The cordial co-operation of members of many old families, their painstaking exertions to collect records, and the carefulness exercised in arranging the same for the author's use, has greatly lightened his burdens and enhanced the pleasure of his work. We mention with much gratitude, among the many who have aided us, the names that follow : Capt. Eli B. Bean, Brownfield, Me .: \. F. Lewis, Esq., Fryeburg, Me .; Joseph Bennett. Esq., Denmark, Me .; Hon. L. A. Wadsworth, Hiram, Me .; Thomas Shaw, Esq., Stand- ish. Me. : \. H. Barnes, Sumner O. Haley. and E. F. Abbott, Esq., Hollis, Me. ; Capt. Horatio Hight, and Hon. Seth L. Larrabee, Portland, Me .: Charles H. Boothby, and W'm. B. Trask, Esqs., Boston. Mass .; Hon. James Larrabee, Gardiner, Me .; Hon. Jesse Larrabee, New York City; Hon. W'm. F. Larra- bee, Phoebus, Va .: Hon. William Larrabee, Clermont, Jowa; Prof. John .1. Larrabee, M. D., Louisville, Ky .; Prof. William H. Larrabee, LL. D., New York City; Dominicus Milliken, Esq., St. George, N. B .; Hon. James Milli- ken, Bellefont, Pa .. Hon. Seth 1. Milliken, M. C., Washington, D. C .: Hon. Daniel Milliken. Malden, Mass. : Emery A. Milliken, Esq., Lexington, Mass .; Daniel Milliken, M. D., Hamilton, Ohio; S. E. Milliken, M. D., Shade Valley, Pa. : Charles J. Milliken, M. D., Cherryfield, Me., and Cyril P. Harmon, Esq., West Buxton, Me.

As an extra precaution against typographical errors. R. Fult: Wormwood, of the Evening Express editorial staff, Portland, has with great faithfulness read one set of proof sheets while this book was passing the press, and to him we are under obligations.

We also make grateful mention of Mrs. Nellie E. (Ridlon) French, of Cam- bridge, Mass., who has with much patience and tidy execution made copy for this work in the libraries of Boston.

To the Hon. Charles F. Boothby, of Brighton, England, we are indebted for valuable MSS. and photographic views.

This work contains 1, 200 pages composed of more than 600,000 words, and in which are the names of rising 15,000 persons. The book comprises 209 topical sections and genealogies of 105 families. It contains 56 portraits and te plate views. For the common edition of 1,200 copies, more than two tons of paper were required.

INTRODUCTORY COMPENDIUM.

With the hope that this book may prove the conservatory of such valuable data, rescued from scattered and frail documents and vanishing traditions of the Saco valley, as may entertain the descendants of the early pioneers and aid the future historian in compiling more exhaustive works, we now commit to the public the result of our many years of patient and pleasurable toil, ask- ing the forbearance of all for any errors that were overlooked in editing.
