LIVED THERE LONG, LONG AGO
Forty-one settlers in 1803 signed the petition for town gov- ernment and four did not sign. These 45 Embden residents had become 58 in 1810, according to the third census, and 99 in 1817 listed as paying taxes; but by 1820 they were 114; by 1825 they were 160 and by 1831 they were 200. There came a slowing up by 1840 when the list stood at 199. That was the era when mi- gration to Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and the Dakotas was be- ginning but the town's 240 tax-payers of 1850 was a maximum. Not many years later was the call to California, where scores of Embden people settled following the discovery of gold. The exodus to the west does not account for all the outward move- ment. Many went to Massachusetts and even to other parts of Maine, including the Penobscot valley around Bangor.
The school population had a similar curve. By 1820 when the larger "classes," as districts were then called, had built their first schoolhouses - or were taking steps to do so - there were 290 scholars. This was an average of more than two for every man who paid a poll tax. By 1825 there were 362 scholars and in 1831 there were 420. The figure dropped significantly in 1840, when the lists showed but 417 scholars but by 1850 it had increased to the maximum of 576. The average number of school children in town was then almost three for every head of a household. In 1860 Embden scholars again numbered 420, as in 1831; and in 1870 were 308; in 1880 were 252 and in 1890 were 199. The district by the ferry to Solon was the most pop- ulous for a while. That was in 1833, with a census of 69 out of the town's total of 453 in 13 districts. The Cragin school (No. 9) by Seven Mile Brook was second with 59 scholars; the Dunbar district (No. 5) was third with 56 and next in order came the Berry district (No. 4) with 51 and the Bowen's Mill district (No. 3) with 41. Three years earlier - in 1830 - No. 5 was the largest district with a school appropriation of $60.68; No. 2 was second with $43.66 and No. 9 was third with $42.02. Others in order of appropriations, which mean also in numbers of scholars, were No. 3, No. 6 (The Wilson district by Fahi Pond) and No. 7 (the Barron district).

EMBDEN TOWN OF YORE
A few families are numerously represented on the tax lists. For a century they were a considerable proportion of the town's population. Their names are easily noted on the lists - Cleve- lands, Colbys, Grays, Salleys, Savages, Stevenses, Thompsons, Walkers and Williamses. Each name represented substantially one family clan. There were two branches each of the Thomp- son and Williams families in Embden, but Thompson and Wil- liams branches sprung respectively from one stock down the Kennebec at Wiscasset and Woolwich or thereabouts a genera- tion or two before Embden was settled. The Embden Walkers were from three brothers, two of whom settled in Anson and one in Madison. The Savage pioneers in Embden were somewhat similar kindred. The Embden Clevelands were all from four pioneer brothers.
The form of spelling varied somewhat for family names. In earlier days it was "Cleveland," then about 1840 and for two or three decades "Cleavland" and later on, as now, "Cleveland." The first records were of the "Fosse" family and eventually it was written "Foss;" likewise "Foard" and Ford;" "Will- son" and then "Wilson;" "McFaden" and "McFadden;" "Clarke" and "Clark ;" "Hodsdon" and "Hodgdon;" "Carle" and "Carl." For a long period it was sometimes "Sally" and occasionally, at first, "Sallee." The town clerks were farmers, rather than literary paragons. Probably they erred, now and then, in the most accepted ways of spelling. Some town clerks of 75 or a hundred years ago wrote up their books in a very bad hand, others of them were quite expert at making readable copy. : Their spelling has been followed generally in the lists that follow.
The earliest roster of householders of Embden, apart from Titcomb's map of 1790 (see page 3) as given in the local records, is the petition for town government. The original is in the Massachusetts archives of the State House at Boston. It is dated Dec. 12, 1803, and provides a vivid picture of the condi- tions of that day. It reads :

LIVED THERE LONG, LONG AGO
To the Honble the Senate & house of Representatives of the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
The petition of the Inhabitants of the Township No. 1 West side Kennebeck River in the Second Range, north of the Plymouth Claim - Humbly sheweth
That your petitioners are situated near fifty miles above the head of navigation between wich and said Township The river is in many places barred with falls wich render it of little use to your petioners for transportation, that the settlers on said township are settled in the extreme Parts of said Township - That they experience incon- ceivable Difficulties from the want of roads schools & many other things of puplic utility & necessary for the Well being of a Society - That your petitioners find those evils and inconveniences daily to increase which very much Impede the settlement of said Township as well as greatly to injure the interests of your petitioners individually - That your petitioners can conceive of no remedy that will be effect- ual but an act of incorporation.
Therefore your petitioners humbly pray that said Township No. 1 which is bounded as follows, viz: Beginning at a marked tree on the Banks of Kennebec River, at the northeast corner of the Ply- mouth Claim, thence running west six miles on Anson Town line to a marked Tree then north six miles to the south line of the Million Acres located on the River Kennebeck Thence east on said Million Acres about six miles to Kennebeck River Thence following the middle of the main channel of sd river at low water down untill it intersects a line running east from the first mentioned bound thence west on sd line to said Bound.
May be incorporated into a town by the name of with such privileges and immunities as other towns within this common- wealth do by law enjoy and your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

There is a footnote after the signatures that reads: "With a majority of forty-one for an incorporation and four not for it and every man signed in the town but four."
When the first assessment of Sept. 6, 1804, was laid (see pages 248-249) only 26 names appeared as taxpayers, but several sons having attained their majority were still living at the family homesteads. Later tax lists by decades - except for the earlier years which are given for 1810, 1817, 1820, 1825 and 1831, both for the purpose of better illustrating the growth of the town and because the records happen to be more complete for some of those years - are :
