After Wharton's purchase of Sebascodegan, the Indians continued possession of the island, for the purpose of catch- ing fish, seal, and porpoise. This prevented any further settlements there for some years.

A paper drawn up by one of the Pejepseot proprietors, it is supposed about 1714, gives a list of the settlers on the purchase. At the narrows or carrying-place that parts Casco Bay from Merrymeeting Bay, " settled by Stevens, who has a son now at New Ilaven married to Parker's daughter." " Next to said Stevens, at the upper Whigby, or Wiskege, by Lawson, owned by Ephraim Savage." "On Merriconeag Neck only two settlements, Richard Potts, who lived at the lower end, and John Damarell, about three miles above him. But one settlement at Mair Point, by John Phippany. But one settlement at Maquoit, by Robert [Thomas ?] Haincs."

The Pejepseot proprietors, who owned Harpswell and Brunswick and other adjoining lands, were Thomas Ilutch- inson, Adam Winthrop, John Watts, David .Jeffries, Stephen Minot, Oliver Noyes, and John Ruck, of Boston, Mass., and Joho Wentworth, of Portsmouth, N. H. They bought the lands of Ephraim Savage, of Boston, administrator of Richard Wharton, who had become possessed of the greater portion of the tract, and had died in England, in 1693. The company purchased the lands Nov. 5, 1714, for the sum of £150, to hold in fee as tenants in common. The conveyance was acknowledged the next day, and was re- corded in the York records on the 19th of November fol- lowing .*

Oct. 20, 1714, the General Court of Massachusetts passed a resolution that it was for the public interest that some townships be laid out and settled in the eastern coun- try, and John Wheelwright and others were appointed a committee to receive the claims of all persons claiming lands there.

On the 18th of February, 1715, the Pejepscot proprietors made certain proposals to the above-mentioned committee :

1. That the General Court should give confirmation to their purchase, in order that they might " be better able to encourage substantial farmers to remove with their stock from England."

2. For the encouragement of a fishing town at Small Point.

3. That whenever 12 or more persons offered themselves for any new settlement, they should be " covered" with such a force and for such a time as the General Court should deem necessary.

4. That those settling in the limits of the Pejepscot tract should, for the first seven years, have some assistance from the publie towards the maintenance of a ministry, and should be exempted from the payment of any Province tax.

The proprietors agreed that, if the General Court would consent to the foregoing proposals, they would, on their part, agree to enter into the following arrangements :

1. To lay out three, or if the land would admit, four plats

or towns, and have them surveyed and platted that same summer, at their own cost.

2. " In seven years, if peace continues with the Indians," they would settle " each of said towns with 50 families or more, in a defensive manner, having already offers of very considerable numbers, both in this country and from Eng- land." And in order thereto they were willing to grant them such house-lots, in fee, and such accommodations in regard to their lands, as might induce them to settle there.

3. That they would lay out a convenient portion of land in each towo for " the subsistence of the first minister, the ministry, and a school."

4. " Being desirous that the people might not live like heathen, without the worship of God, as had been too frequent in new settlements," they engaged for the more speedy procuring of a minister, and to make it easier for the inhabitants at their first settling down, that as soon as there should be 20 householders in each of the towns, who would provide a frame for, and raise a meeting-house, they would, at their own expense, furnish glass, lead, nails, iron- work, and other materials, and finish the meeting-house for them, and pay towards the maintenance of an " orthodox gospel minister" in each town, the sum of £40 per annum, for five years. These proposals to the committee received the signature of all the proprietors.

On the 27th of the following May, the committee reported favorably on these proposals, and the General Court, on the 10th of June, passed resolutions in accordance therewith. Thus this company became undoubted legal owners of the territory they had purchased.t

OCCUPATIONS OF THE PEOPLE.

The principal occupation of the first settlers of Harps- well is said to have been cutting cord-wood and shipping it to Boston, Salem, and other ports, although farming and fishing were doubtless carried on to some extent. Bailey's Island, which is now nearly barren of trees, was at that time densely covered with wood. After a while the settlers devoted themselves almost exclusively to farming and fish- ing.

FISHERIES.

We have been unable to obtain any statistics of this business at an early date. At the present time there are caught, dried, and cured in Harpswell about 20,000 quin- tals of fish annually, consisting of cod, hake, haddock, pol- lock, and cusk. Smaller fish, such as mackerel, porgies, and herring, are also caught in abundance. In the month of September the herring come in very plenty, and it is not uncommon to see, in Mackerel Cove and Jaquis' Harbor, from 75 to 150 sail of vessels. Large quantities of the fish are taken to Portland, where they are packed and shipped to various parts of the country as " Portland Her- ring." During the months of March, April, and May, most of the fishermen are engaged in the lobster fishery. The fishing smacks are so arranged that the lobsters are kept alive, and large numbers are shipped to Portland, Bos- ton, and New York.

In former years the clam business was quite an impor-

tant branch of the fisheries, but it is not so now. About the year 1863 there were put up, and sold at prices ranging from $8 to $14 per barrel, not less than 2500 barrels. The principal dealers in fish are S. Watson, A. T. Trufant, and John Power, of East Harpswell; Smullen & Prince and J. M. Johnson, of Orr's Island; E. C. Simpson & Co. and J. B. Pinkham, of West Harpswell.

MILLS.

Owing to the fact that Harpswell possesses no streams large enough to afford sufficient water-power, but little attention has been given to manufactures in this town.

Previous to 1758 there was a wind-mill in the town and a tide-mill ealled Jones' Mill .* The location of the wind- mill is not known. The tide-mill was situated near the farm of Arthur Orr, and was at one time owned by him. It was originally built by a family of Quakers by the name of Jones. Captain James Sinnett, of Bailey's Island, re- members a very old mill at Widgeon Cove, which was standing as late as the year 1804. It was then owned, in part, by Silas Allen and Deacon James Wilson.

About the year 1800 there was a wind-mill near Charles Merryman's. It was built and owned by Major Paul Ran- dall. The great shaft for the mill he hauled from Bruns- wick, and it was so heavy he nearly broke the backs of his oxen drawing it over some of the hills. The mill did not do much business. It was situated down near the shore, instead of upon the ridge, which would have furnished more wind-power. The present saw- and grist-mill was erected about the year 1850. It is owned in shares, about twenty in number.

In 1855, or thereabouts, there were two grist-mills our Great Island, one owned by Stephen Purinton, Esq., and the other by a Mr. Ridley.

SALT-WORKS.

During the Revolution salt was very searce. An Irish- man on Great Island, who understood how to make salt from sea-water, suggested the building of salt-works on that island. A company was formed, a building erected, and kettles and other appliances were purchased. The Irish- man, whose name was Millay, had charge of the kettles. A yoke of oxen was employed to draw wood for the ovens. Sixty bushels of salt per week were manufactured, and it was sold in Boston for two dollars per bushel.

TRADES.

The population of Harpswell is so scattered that it has been found no easy thing to obtain an account of the va- rious trades pursued in former times or at present. The following is all that we have obtained any information about.

Bakers .- Early in the present, or late in the last con- tury, a Mr. Ryan had a bakery on Great Island. He moved to Brunswick in 1804 or 1805.

Blacksmiths .- Nehemiah Curtis, whose shop was one mile above the Congregational church on the Neck, was the first blacksmith in town of whom we have any account.

Ile was succeeded in the business by his son and grandson, of the same name. The grandson kept the shop until 1820. Somewhat later in the business were Benjamin Curtis, whose shop was half a mile northwest of the church, and Barstow Curtis, whose shop was where Abijah Stover now lives.

Boat- Builders .- David Doughty was the first boat- builder on Great Island. Ile was engaged in this business as late as 1847. Ile was succeeded in the business by Wil- liam Doughty. Since then the business has been carried on by quite a large number of persons.

Boot and Shoe Makers .- James Merryman, on the Neck, near the Baptist church, and William Orr, on Orr's Island, were engaged in the boot and shoe business for some years. They moved away about 1847.

Brick- Yards .- In 1805 there was a brick-yard owned by a Mr. Douglass, situated on the Neck, about three miles above the Congregational church. It was in operation only a short time. There was another one carried on by a Mr. Reed in 1812 to 1815, on Orr's Island.

Carpenters and Joiners .- John Curtis, in 1802 to 1804, and Waitstill Webber, an apprentice of Curtis', in 1804, worked at this trade. Their shop was on the Neck, about two miles above the Congregational church. In 1806, John Bibber pursued this occupation.

Gunsmiths .- A man by the name of Nason lived on Bailey's Island about 1856, and carried on the business of a gunsmith. ITis shop was where Prince & Smullen's store is now.

Harness and Saddle Makers .- A man by the name of Barstow carried on the above business for one year in 1816 or 1817.

Masons .- The only mason that we have received any ae- count of was a man by the name of Ewing. Ile lived on Great Island, but at what date is not known to us.

Surveyors .- The only surveyors of land of whom we have any account were Paul and Benjamin Randall, who lived about two miles and a half above the Congregational church. Paul died about 1874; Benjamin, about 1847.

Tailors .- From 1800 to 1806, D. Merritt carried on the tailoring business in town. Hle moved to Durham.

Tanners .- In the carly part of the century, Thomas Farr had a tannery in Stover's Cove, on the Neck, and Benjamin Dunning had one about three miles above the Congregational church. In the castern part of the town, Stephen Purinton had one.

TRADERS.

Mr. James Booker kept store as early as 1752, and as late as 1762. About the latter date, Andrew Dunning and Alexander Wilson were also in trade,-that is, they were licensed retailers, and had a stock of goods which they disposed of to the settlers when called upon, but they probably did not confine themselves exclusively to that business.

Joseph Concy came from Boston, in 1795, and opened a store, which was opposite the lower end of Orr's Island. It was afterwards occupied by Bruce & Everett, Silas HI. Dodge, and Jacob Merryman. Joseph Eaton kept store near the Congregational church nutil his death, about 1846. A Mr. Pinkham once kept store at the end of

Pott's Point, but the date is unknown. In 1847, Wash- ington Gareelon, postmaster, had one near Paul Randall's.

Bailey's Island .- The old store which once stood at the head of the cove, on the outer end of Bailey's Island, has been occupied by the following men, in succession : Perry & Howard, of Brunswick, about 1800; Joseph Coney, Maj. John Rowe, Zachariah Lambert, and Capt. David John- son. The store now occupied by Lubee was formerly owned by Ralph Sinnett.

A Mr. Dana and a Mr. Twombly both kept store on this island for a long time. The former was at the lower end. The date of their doing business is not known.

Orr's Island .- In the early part of this century, Edward Ingraham kept a store on the southwest end of the island, where Prince & Smullen's store is now. IIe had a brother in business with him, who was probably Nathaniel. S. F. Merrill at one time had a store at Lowell's Cove.

Great Island .- In the latter part of the last, or in the first of the present century, a Mr. Ryan had a store at Condy's Harbor.

Esquire Snow kept a store for many years at his wharf on New Meadows River.

INSURANCE COMPANY.

On Feb. 14, 1855, Paul R. Curtis, Shubael Merryman, Isaac A. Johnson, Thomas A. Estes, Thomas U. Eaton, Abram J. Allen, Simeon Curtis, L. H. Stover, Pennell Alexander, Thomas Alexander, and Abel Thompson were incorporated as the " HARPSWELL MUTUAL FIRE INSUR- ANCE COMPANY." The first officers were Thomas Alex- ander, President ; Thomas U. Eaton, Secretary ; Abel Thompson, Treasurer. The first Board of Directors were Stephen Purinton, James Orr, David Webber, Alcot S. Merryman, Thomas U. Eaton, Thomas Alexander, and Henry Barnes.

The losses of this company have been so little that there has never been a necessity for making any assessments upon the members. The present officers are Thomas Alex- ander, President ; William C. Eaton, Secretary ; Shubael Merryman, Treasurer. The present directors are Thomas Alexander, Pennell Alexander, William C. Eaton, Shubael Merryman, Sylvester Stover, Stephen Purinton, and Sam- uel E. Smullen.

POPULATION.

In 1765 there were in Harpswell 55 houses, 111 fami- lies, 224 males under and 188 above sixteen years of age, 224 females under and 186 females above sixteen years of age, and 14 negroes. The total population, exclusive of Indians, was 836. Brunswick at this time had a popula- tion of but 506.

In 1776, Ilarpswell had 977 white inhabitants, while Brunswick had but 867 .*

In 1778, Ilarpswell had 27 Revolutionary soldiers, and 178 males over the age of sixteen.t

MUNICIPAL HISTORY OF HARPSWELL.

Harpswell, or Merriconeag Neck, was embraced in the town of North Yarmouth, of which it constituted a parish,

till 1740, in which year it was annexed to Brunswick by order of the General Court of Massachusetts. The proprie- tors-Joseph Wadsworth, Adam Winthrop, Henry Gibbs, Belcher Noyes, and Job Lewis-set forth in a petition, signed by 27 other inhabitants, the difficulties of getting to the meeting-house of North Yarmouth, about thirty miles distant by land, and by water across two bays dan- gerous to navigate with their families in canoes, and being thus deprived of the public worship of God, asked to be annexed to Brunswick, whose meeting-house was but " three miles from the upper end of the Neck, adjoining to Bruns- wick Town, and no water to pass over." The petition was granted June 27, 1740 ; but on the 1st of Angust, 1741, by act of the General Court it was returned to North Yar- mouth. This legislation was displeasing to the people of the Neek, and other petitions were sent in by the select- men of Brunswick and the inhabitants of Harpswell, ask- ing that they be again annexed to Brunswick.

These petitions were not favorably received by the Gen- eral Court ; but on June 14, 1749, that body, in response to a petition of the inhabitants of that portion of Merrico- neag Neck and the adjoining lands which was within the limits of North Yarmonth, passed an order to the effect that the Neck, the land and islands mentioned in the petition, and the northeast part of Sebascodegan Island, should be a distinct and separate precinct.

In 1758 an act incorporating Harpswell as a district was passed, one section of which reads as follows:

" And the inhabitants of said Neck of land and Islands shall be and hereby are invested with all the powers, privileges, and immunities that the several towns in this Province by law do or may enjoy, that of sending a Representative only excepted."

The present name of the town is not known to have been used prior to the incorporation. By whom it was first sug- gested is not known. One authority states that it was so named by the General Court, but according to traditionary accounts the name was given by the Dunnings. There is a Harpswell in Lincolnshire, England, and the name was prob- ably first suggested by some emigrant from that vicinity, and was favored by the Dunnings, who were English peo- ple, though from another county.

The first recorded meeting of the district was held March 30, 1758. At this meeting Capt. John Stover was chosen Moderator ; Andrew Dunning, Clerk ; David Curtis, Isaac Hall, and Andrew Dunning, Selectmen and Asses- sors ; Lieut. Lemuel Turner, District Treasurer ; Elijah Douglas and Taylor Small, Constables ; James Babbage, Seth Toothaker, and John Coombs, Tithing. Men ; Waitstill Webber, William Alexander, and Joseph Thompson, Sur- veyors of Ilighways ; Edward Easters, Thomas McGregor, and Joseph Linscott, Fence- Viewers; Nathan Adams, James Gardner, and John Snow, Ilog-Reeves : and Elisha Allen, Sealer of Leather. It was voted at this meeting that hogs and horses should be allowed to run at large, according to the existing law. The meeting adjourned to the last Wed- nesday in May.

Ilarpswell sent her first representative, Samuel Stanwood, to the General Court in 1770. At a meeting of the town held Jan. 16, 1776, the selectmen were chosen a committee to embody in a petition to the General Court the necessity

there was for an armed guard and a supply of ammunition in the town.

On March 4th, William Sylvester, Nathaniel Purinton, Capt. Nehemiah Curtis, Capt. John Snow, and Lieut. Ben- jamin Dunning were chosen a committee of correspond- ence, inspection, and safety. At a meeting held May 6th the vote of the district in 1775, giving Minute-Men 28. 8d. per week for military practice on three days in each week, for three hours each day, was rescinded. On July 30th it was voted that the selectmen should take charge of the animunition and arms, receipt for the same, and then dis- tribute them among the officers of the militia, who should be accountable for them. It was also voted to pay Nathaniel Purinton and the seven men who assisted him in bringing guns down the Kennebec River 4x. each, for two days' labor. It was also voted to pay Deacon Isaae Snow 12s. for his expenses and charge in bringing 25 firearms from Falmouth. Andrew Dunning was, at this meeting, ehosen to take recognizances in ITarpswell. At a meeting held on December 20th the following resolutions were passed :

" l'oted the great & General Court or Assembly of this Stato Do Take up a Form of Government as Soon as they think Propper & that form that Shall ten I most to Piety, Peace, Safety, and Good Order in this State and agreeable to the Ilouourable Continental Congress- the voto unanimous at a full Meeting.

" Toted the Selectmen Send to the General Court or Treasurer for Axes, Kittles, Canteens, and Money to hire Waggons & Pay the Men that are Draughted their Milage to the Place of Destination."

At the Mareh meeting in 1777, Nathaniel Purinton, Capt. John Snow, Capt. Nehemiah Curtis, Ezekiel Curtis, and Andrew Dunning were chosen a committee of corre- spondence and safety. It was also voted " Not to Have a Hospetal Built in the County for an Enocolating Hospetal." It was also voted this year to pay Andrew Dunning 12s. for superintending the delivery of powder and flints, and for "recording the Declaration of Independence. On November 25th a committee was chosen to supply the families of soldiers with necessary articles.
