POOLE.
JAMES C. POOLE was born in Bris., Mar. 25, 1845. From the age of 16 until he was 24 he was engaged at Damariscotta, Gloucester and Boston at sailmaking. In 1869 he bought out D. W. Sawyer's sailmaking establish- ment and followed that business for twelve years, during which period he became interested in some shipping property. In 1871 he sold the business to his brother, Eben A. Poole, and engaged in general trade and the fish- eries, see Chaps. XIX and XXI. He m. Alah Marson, 1870; they have two daughters, Lillian and Nellie, both m. and res. in Mass.

RACE.
1 GEORGE RACE, JR., was of Scotch descent. He came to America as mate of a ship in which his brother was captain, and landed at York. From there he came east, leaving the ship, and set. at the head of Linekin Bay, abt. halfway bet. Bayville and Murray Hill. The cellar spoken of on p. 418 was probably his. It is quite evident that his father and mother came later to B. and lived with him, otherwise their deaths would not be recorded in the books of the town. George Race, Senior, d. Oct. 17, 1821; his wife, name unk., d. Feb. 7, 1819. George Race, Jr., m. Sarah Bennett, 1798. Their deaths are not found recorded. Children:

XVI. He was nominated and elected represent- ative to the Legislature in 1888, on the issue of a division of the town and the water question combined, taking ground with the remonstrants. In the session following, where the matter was fought out, the petition- ers received every courtesy from their representative, though in oppo- sition, that could be expected, and no entities existed after its close. In 1889 he received the appointment of statistical agent, Department of Commerce and Labor, Bureau of Fisheries, in which he continued until 1895, when the Green Lake station was placed under his supervision, at which place he still remains.

RAND.
1 JOHN and MARY RAND had set. at Cape Newagen Island before 1776, perhaps several years before. It is said that they came from the westerly part of Maine, but I have failed to find clues to the family ancestry in any of the works published in that locality, though I have been successful in many other cases. Mary, the mother of the fam., lived with her son, John, Jr., in her last days and died Feb. 13, 1826. They had four children, perhaps more:

REED.
1 ANDREW REED founded the largest family which has lived in Boothbay. He was a man of sterling character, as all that can be learned of him attests. Four, at least, of his sons were prominent in the Revolution, Andrew, David, Paul and Joseph; two, John and Henry, died before that struggle began, while William was a private. Thomas, only, of those living at the time shows no service record. Several grandsons were also active in that war. He has many times been mentioned as a settler under Dunbar, but there were strong indications that this was an error, though apparently not suscep- tible of proof. At last in the records of the Adams family, whose founder, Samuel, married the only daughter and youngest child of Andrew Reed, it is found that she, Sarah ( Reed) Adams, was born on shipboard when her father's family came to America. This fixes the year of coming as 1743, and makes consistent all that appeared otherwise. Andrew Reed was born in Antrim, Ireland, in 1693; and his wife, Jean Murray, aunt of the Rev. John Murray, was born in Antrim, in 1698. She was of Scotch-Irish descent, but it is said that he was of English descent. The title of Col. has often been applied to him, and, if correctly so, the title must have been obtained in Ire- land, for he was too old to engage in the French and Indian War and died thirteen years before the Revolutionary outbreak; but at his age of coming to America, fifty years, there is reason to suppose the title may have been gained on the other side of the Atlantic. He was chiefly influential in induc- ing Mr. Murray to come to Townsend. At the time of his settlement here the records show that the land from William Moore's to Echo Lake was set- tled upon, but no settlement at that date is indicated from Mill Cove west- erly, unless in case of the Wylie family. Andrew Reed selected the spot to build his first log house a little to the east of the Mill Cove dam. and south- easterly from the house of the late Capt. George Reed, now owned by his daughter, Isabella M. Reed. From this home he was driven out about 1745 by the Indians, returning in 1749, after which no serious disturbance is again recorded. Traditions tell us that one winter during this period, while his family was at the westward for safety, he alone, of all the settlers, remained in Townsend. He died July 22, 1762; his wife, Jean, died Feb. 8, 1780. He, with his sons, built a mill at the cove soon after 1749, and a few years before his death he built a frame house, by some said to have been the first of the kind in Townsend, about the spot where stands the stable to the residence of the late James F. Hodgdon, and there died, his estate inventorying {149 9s. 4d. Children:

NOTE .- It may be mentioned that Elizabeth, dau. of James and Mehita- ble Adams, born Dec. 22, 1810, who married Payson Tibbetts, is now living at Back River. She was, therefore, about 18 years of age at the death of her grandmother, Sarah (Reed) Adams. Capt. William Reed, Oakland, Cal., b. Oct. 11, 1811, and d. Apr. 10, 1905, was, when this genealogy was compiled, the oldest descendant bearing the family name.

HISTORY OF BOOTHBAY.
(*5) JOHN2 REED ( Andrew1) m. Sarah -; lived, as indicated by his will, made Mar. 31, 1767, and prob. June 14, 1769, near but southerly from the Campbell Ponds. He devised land south of them and bordering on Sheepscot waters, evidently intended as a farm for each, to his four sons and then to each of his daughters, but did not name the latter. For this reason and the fact that they do not appear on town records this family is less defi- nite than the others. Children:
