COUNTY ROADS.
PETITION FOR FIRST COUNTY ROAD.
To THE Honorable Court of General Sessions of the Peace for the County of Cumberland, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts :
The Petition of a number of the Inhabitants of two towns, one called Bucktown, or No. 5, the other called Butterfield, or No. 6, in the County of Cumberland.
Your Petitioners humbly sheweth, That the Committee appointed by the Hon. Gen. Court for selling unappropriated lands in the County of Cumberland, have sold the above said two towns and there being be- tween seventy and eighty families settled in said townships; That they labor under great inconveniences for want of an open and established Road from Bucktown, as far as the Great Bridge on the Little Amaris- coggin River in Bakerstown. The Road that is used now is frequently filled up by persons who wish it to be differently laid out. Some say it to be in one place and some in another.
Your Petitioners therefore Humbly Pray, that your Honors would be pleased to send a Committee (or appoint some other way) so there may be an open and established Road from Bucktown to the Great Bridge abovesaid, that they may pass and Repass, without so many fences, and other incumbrances, and as in duty bound, will ever Pray.

HISTORY OF BUCKFIELD
What action was taken on this particular petition we do not know but it is said that the first county road laid out through the township was built and extended to New Penacook now Rumford in or before 1788.
The proprietors' records show that a county road had been laid out before April 1, 1789. It entered the plantation in the southeast section from Hebron and passed through what was later called the Lowell Cor- ner and over North Hill to the Mills, and from there into Sumner past the Col. James Bonney place. In 1805 after the county of Oxford was organized, William Lowell and others petitioned for the location of a highway from his "store in Buckfield (at the Lowell Corner) over the bridge on the Twenty Mile River passing by the place of Rev. Nathaniel Chase to Federal Corner and through Hartford, on the east side of the Whitney Pond to Jay Point" now Canton Point.
The prayer of the petitioners was granted and the road was located and built. The "Great County Road" was laid out in 1819. It ex- tended from the New Hampshire line, between Fryeburg and Conway to Augusta. In Buckfield the following owners of land, localities and places are mentioned in the report of the committee which laid out the road : Josiah Bailey, Ephraim Harlow, Capt. Nathaniel Harlow, Noah Hall, Waterman's Bridge, Job Prince, Mayhews', Buck's Bridge, Squire Buck's, The Liberty Pole, Spaulding's, Village Bridge, Corner Foster's House, (tavern), Dominicus Record's Heirs, Josiah Parris, John Loring, Benja- min Milliken, Henry Farwell, Hall's Bridge, Guide Board, Turner Lower Road, past Drake's to schoolhouse and county road, past Decoster's to Lincoln's, Nathan Hall, Herman Wood to Hartford line. From Hall's Bridge, the road was afterward changed to pass by Enoch Hall's and through Turner by a different location. In 1833, T. Waterman and others sought to have the road changed to avoid the Hall Hill, and also to have an alteration made in Turner. They set forth in their petition, that
"In the first place Hall's Hill is well known to all, who have ever passed it, as a long. tiresome, and tedious hill, and not unfrequently somewhat hazardous, owing to its roughness and the impracticability of keeping it in repair. * * * ** * *
Now as a remedy for this mischief, we would request, that an alter- ation be made, commencing at or near the easterly end of Hall's Bridge, and from thence running in a direct line, so as to come out, at some place on the present road between the dwelling house of Jonas Spaulding and the base of said hill."
The hearing was had July Ist at Capt. Daniel Chase's and Enoch Hall attended as agent of the town to oppose the alteration. Apparently he was much more interested personally than as a town official.
The alteration asked for was not granted, but the change desired in Turner near Isaac Chase's was made. In 1837 (Enoch Hall being dead) Isaac Chase and others petitioned to have the change made "in order to avoid loaded teams having to pass over Hall's Hill." The hearing was at "Bridgham's Tavern" on the 10th of October. The prayer of the
751
HISTORY OF BUCKFIELD
petitioners was granted and the change made. Col. Aaron Parsons, Samuel B. Perry, Ximenes Philbrick, Hiram Hall and Simon Record were awarded damages.
In 1848, on petition of James Hersey, 3d, and 342 others, a county road was laid from "near Thomas S. Bridgham's Tavern House," over sub- stantially what is now the road bed of the Rumford Falls Railroad, to "the road leading by the house of Charles Bearce" in Hebron. The Buckfield Branch Railroad having shortly after been located and built, this road was discontinued.
As showing the land owners in Buckfield, over which the road was located, we give the name of those who were awarded land damages :
Rodney Chaffin Caleb Cushman
Levi Turner Moses Packard Joshua Whitman
Town of Buckfield Charles Reed Lebbeus Robbins
Hiram Fogg
At some period, we think, the road leading from the village through the Foster and Lothrop neighborhoods on the westerly side of South Pond in Buckfield, and the DeCoster neighborhood ("Sodom") in Hebron, to West Minot village, must have been laid out as a county road. It has been quite a thoroughfare from very early times.
In 1849 on petition of Daniel Parsons and others, a way was located "from Sumner down the Valley of the East Branch to a point near N. O. Douglass' store in Buckfield Village." James Bonney, Nathaniel Shaw, Heirs of William Cole and Dominicus Record were awarded damages. On petition of E. G. Harlow and others in 1850, an alteration in the county road from Buckfield village to North Turner, was made. The following Buckfield parties were awarded damages :
America Farrar Martin Drake William Irish John DeCoster Varanes DeCoster
Addison G. Cole Abial Drake Stephen O. Record
Cyrus Irish
In 1851 on petition of Charles B. Atwood and others, a way was lo- cated from "near G. B. Horton's house on the road leading to Hall's Bridge and running nearly south to the county road leading to West Minot." It was located over lands of S. G. Horton and James Jewett.
The same year an alteration was made in the county road "leading from Sumner Corner to Buckfield village around and easterly of Casta- way Hill, so called in Buckfield." Sydenham Bridgham, D. W. Swett and Frederick Foster were awarded land damages.
On petition of Amos Winslow and others in 1851, a new county road from Buckfield village to South Paris was located. That part from the road leading by Amos Winslow's to the road passing by the dwelling houses of the Chases, was discontinued. But James N. Waldron and 104 others in 1857 petitioned to have a location made from the Taylor Corner in Buckfield to the Paris Hill road running past the
752
HISTORY OF BUCKFIELD
Sturtevant place in Paris, which was granted. In 1875 on petition of Asa Atwood and others, the South Paris road was graded, near the Aus- tin Royal place, the Leonard schoolhouse, the Maxim Hill and other local- ities. On petition of the selectmen, in 1892, a change was made in the way leading from "Shaw's Bridge in Buckfield past East Branch Farm to Hartford." George D. Bisbee was awarded damages. At different periods, several small changes have been made, in those ways, which pass through a very small portion of the town.
