LIVERMORE. BY A NATIVE OF THE TOWN.


This Town Is in Androscoggin County, 20 miles north of Luwlslou, 50 from Portlauil, and 25 west of Angustn. Before the Incorporation of Androsvoggin it was In Ox furil Connty. The towoship previone to, and for some time alter, Its Keltlement, was generally known as Port Royal, trom the fact that It was granted for services rendered in the reduction of Port Royal, Nova Scotia, lu the early part of the 18th century.


Eurly History .- Pruvions to Jannary 15, 1735, many petitious were presented to the Great and General Court Iu Assembly for His Majesty's Province of Massachusetts Bay, In New England, by towne and individuals for grouts of land for services and lossen in the French aud Indian Wars. Grants Were mailo on certain conditions lu response to these petitions. There Were to be sixty proprietors, lo each of whom, as well As to the frst and second settled ministers and schools, a lot was to be assigned. Among other prlitioners was Nathsulel Harris, Kaq., lo whom, with others, was granted township No. 2, "on the east side and moxt adjoining Conveotlout River," as a gratuity for services in reducing l'ort Royal. The names of the original sixty proprietors are given, together with the number of the lot assigned to esch, three lots being left for ininisters and schools. Novelubor 24, 1736, the Great anıl General Conrt authorized Nath'1 Harris to call the proprietors together, and he notifed them to meet at the house of jasno Baldwin, innholder, Friday, January 28, 1737. A regular record of tho proceedings of the pro- prietors is kept till November 1, 1743, when a direting held at Weston was adjourned to the succeeding May on nocount of the "rumor of war with France, and the


Erq., Des. Elijah Livermore (heretofire inentionell as Llent. Livermore), and Mr. Elisha Harrington wera proprietary. " The ai connin of Den. Klijali Livermore and Thos. Fish for clearing romils lo ibe town were presented and allowed. That of the former way £40 10s. 11d., of the latter £31 24. 7d. Thos. Fish was appointed lo prosecute trespassers, and a commillee was appoluted to lay out the remainder of the lowu.


June 29, 1774, Leonard Williams, Elijah Livermore, and Klisbn Harrington were made a comuniltlee to cause a saw and grist-mill to be ereoteil lu the township. A meeting was helil October 12, 1774, and aljunrued to May, 1775, concerning which the following eutry appears on the records :-


I'The distressing war with Great Britain breaking out April 19, 1775, and all belug obligeil to resist the enemy, the place to which the meeting wus adjourned being so nesr the theatra of artion prevented any meeting what- ever." No meeting was held till Jannary 17, 1779. It was in this year that Dea. Livermore and Naj. Tuos. Fish oatna In Livermore and established their homes therein. Mrs. Carver, Josiah Wyer, and Elisha Sulth caine about the saine tline. This first year was disturbed by the onfrienilly attitnilo of the Indians at Roccomeco, Int no actual harm was dour by them, and the appre- heuslons of the new settlers niny have been oconsloned by the domesilo strifes that were raging among the natives, rather than by hostillty to the whites ; for soon afterwards they were and ever continued to be In minicable relations with the latter, and wers frequent visitors at the house of Des. Livermore.


It was during this condition of affairs that an Indian judgment combining justice and punishment was re- oordrd. An luilinn at Roocomeon had killed another of the same tribe, who lelt a squaw of infirto health und a cripple. The murderer was arrested, tiled by his tribe, found guilty and senteocrd to support and care for and wait upon the widow of the slaln lndian so long as she should live. Vice-President Hamlin has ofteu heand his mothor -- a danghitor of Den. Livermore-sny that she had many a lime seen the Iulian carrying the woman ou his back or hauling her on a band aled.


Maj. Fish was an officer iu the Revolutionary war, and was a representative of one of the original proprietors of lownahip No. 2 on the Connecticut River. Ho was a widower, but engaged to be married to & young woman in Winthrop by the name of Betay Marrow. Returning from a visit to her In Jannary 1780 (1) he was overtaken by a severe snow storm and perished, standing by a larga elm tree on the Interval near the foot of the hill, on the top of which Dea. Livermore resided. His remains were takeo to Winthrop atul buried with military honors. His lot was at the place known as " Fish Meadow." August 29, 1781, n committee was appointed to confer with a com- millee of Phipps Canada (now Jny) respecting building a mill to accommodate both townships. June 19, 1872, £61, amil the till lol (so-called) and the island in the river against the same, were granted to build a will on the harnok landing from Livermore and Stinohifiold ponta, and Klijuh Livermore was agreed with to ereot sahi inillo.

The first female child was Nancy, daughter of Josiab Wyer. Norcross probably resided on the northerly side of Lowell's Hill, on the place afterwards owned by Susan Chase. A deed from Dea.

The Generat Court, which assembled Gulober 29, 1770, was palltioned accordingly, the petitioners matting ont the facts in regard to the loss of title to townshilp No. 2, by reason of its having been thrown into the State of New Hampshire by a survey which had ineen maile sub- sequent to the original grant. Jona 11, 1771, tha Generat Court passed a resolva granting the prayer of tha peti- tioners, and to the original grantees, their assigus or legal representatives, their heirs sud assigns, a township of the contanta of six and three-quarter square miles in some of the uuappropriated lands in the Province of Massa- chusetts Bay to the ensiward of Saco River and ad- joining sowie foriner grant, ou tha condition tient the proprietors settle sixty families lu sald town In seven years, build a honse for the pubilo worship of God, settle a learned l'ratestant minister and lay out one sixty- fourth part for the first settled minister, ona sixty- fourth part for the ministry, one alxty-fourth part for the una of schools, and one sixty-fourth part for the use of Harvard College. August 9, 1771, Samuel Livermore and Incorporation .- The town was incorporalad by the legislature of Mass. by aet parand February 28, 1795, and approved by Sumuel Adams, governor. The meeting for organization was held at the lionso of Dea. Elijah Liver- uiore, April 13, 1795, when Elisha Williams was chosen moderator ; Sauinuel Hillman, clerk and treasurer ; David] Learned, Sylvanus Boardmau, and Pelatiah Gibbs, select- men. A collector was chosen to " collect for eight pence on the pound."

On the tenth of the following Au- gust Elisha Williams, Samuel Benjamin, aud Ransou Norton wera appointed a committee to diviile the town Into school districts. It was voted at this meeling "to run the roads straight from one end to the other as the land tvill adunit, without any regard to lulivituals." That this vole was liternily complied with ivill not probably be dis- puted by any oue who has visited the towu. Leonard Williams, by virtue of the powers of the grant, directed Elijah Livermore and Elisba Harrington to go ou au exploring expedition to select the land, to take a boat and pilot at Brunswick Falls and procvad up the river as far as Rocky- Mico. A township of land lying on bolli siles of tho Androscoggin River adjoining Sylvester town- ship (now Turner) was selected. It contained 30,220 acres (the southeastetly portion of which was afterwards sel off to the town of Leeds). Meetings of the propriotors were thereafter hield regularly. At a mroting al tho Imuse of Samuel Livermore lu Waltham, Jona 17, 1772, Liegt. Elijah Livermore, Capt. Ebenr.
