THE SWETT FAMILY Another Link Gone
Whig June 30 1879
One of the most remarkable re-unions ever held in this country took place October 10 1872 at the homestead of the late Benjamin Swett, of Hampden at which time were gathered together thirteen brothers and sisters, being all the children of Mr Swett, not one death ever having occured in the circle. The united ages of the thirteen were eight hundred and thiry years, or an average of sixty four years each. Their father died some years previous, eighty-five years old, and his mother died at the age of ninety-two, thus making one of the most remarkable cases of longevity and an unbroken circle on record and one which was widely noticed by the press of the country. Eleven months later the first link was broken in the chain by the death at his home in Garland, Maine, of Noah Swett, the oldest son of the family, at the age of sixty-seven years. Today we are called upon to announce the death, in Hampden on Saturday of another - John Swett - fourth son and seventh child, at the age of seventy years and four months, thus taking away the second link from the chain. The united ages of the remaining eleven are seven hundred and seventy- one, or an avrage age of a little over seventy years. The following are the names of the surviving members of the family, in the order of their ages:
Mrs Isaac Doane, Hampden; Mrs Moses Rowe, Bangor; Mrs Nathan Mayo, Chicago, Ill; Benjamin Swett, Portland; James A. Swett, Bangor; Mrs Elisha Hopkins, Bangor; Mrs Reed Snow, Hampden; Mrs Jona. Burbank, Bangor; Charles M. Swett, Hermon; William A. Swett, Ban- gor; and David W. Swett of Gloucester, Mass.
What makes the circumstances of this case the more remarkable, is the fact that the deceased has been an invalid from his birth, and for years his life was despaired of, in spite of which he has filled out the full period of three score years and ten.
The funeral of the deceased will take place at Hampden (Lower Corner) at 21/2 o'clock this afternoon.

(Letter enclosed in book at page 210 (parts of letter must be missing) Bucksport Feb 11 1881 John Wentworth, Kewanee, Ill. Col Porter
Dear Sir I enclose with this brief history of my Grandfather and also make mention of the business men and business enterprises of South Orrington. The most of which have come within my knowledge. You have the fullest liberty from me to use as much or as little of this account as will best suit the purpose of your contemplated work. You ask if Mr Veazie came from Islesboro I think not Solomon Bolton of Orrington probably can tell, his mother was one of the family. You mention the ancestors of Moses. My line through him is as follows: William 1 Ezekiel 2 John 3 Thomas 4 Moses 5 John 6 John (myself) 7. I want to purchase a copy of your work when published if you wish to write me after.
The descendants of Moses numbered about 300 in 1872.
Orrington was twice enlarged after Brewer was taken off by addition from the North part of Bucksport. The original line beginning at Elihu Hoxies North line near Hoxies brook on the river and running N 30 degrees East five miles one hundred and eighty four rods and crossing Swetts Pond leaving the larger part of it in Bucksport South Orrington was much more favorably situated for business than any other point on the East side of the river between the two villages of Bucksport and Brewer. It was the natural outlet for large quantities of lumber Spars Wood Bark and agricultural products which sought a market by water from the South part of Orrington and the North part of Bucksport and from 1820 to 1860 this trade together with Shipbuilding Fishing Coasting and Manufacturing of different kinds with other necessary occupation made the business of the place considerable but, making mention of the business men of the place we may commence with Moses Wentworth Capt Richard Ryder, Capt Samuel Ryder Capt Samuel Elisha
Thurston Higgins, then Cyprian Baker,

The sawmill built by Moses Wentworth was bought in 1818 by Richard Hoben who rebuilt it. built another near the mouth of the Creek and also built a large dwelling house for his family about 1830 He died in 1834 leaving a large family and a fine property.
The gristmill owned by John Wentworth and Timothy Nye was re- built about the same time also a mill for carding wool and dressing cloth was built by A S Conant & Capt Samuel Bartlett Timothy Nye Jr. and John Wentworth.
There was also a saw mill at the outlet of Swetts Pond which was rebuilt about 1840 by Joseph Baker Jr and Jeremiah Swett and about this time a gristmill and papermill were built at the falls by James Freeman Esq. and Joseph Baker Jr. These mills were all on Mill Creek and had a good business for many years. The meeting house was built about 1850.
