In the valuation of the town of Gorham for the year 1780, it appears there were three hundred and fifty-five taxable polls, and twenty-seven not taxable, which would make the male population over sixteen years of age something near three hundred and eighty- two, and allowing the females of equal age to be equal. in numbers, we have seven hundred and sixty-four for the population over sixteen years of age. Add to the above, fifty per cent. for the number of those below sixteen, which is about the usual ratio, and we have eleven hundred and forty-six as the population of the town in 1780.
This year there was returned by the assessors of the town one hundred and fifty-seven houses valued at from two dollars to two hun- dred dollars. The house of Hugh Mclellan was valued at two hundred dollars; the same house is now standing, the brick house above the Academy toward Fort Hill. The house of Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, afterwards occupied by Col. Tyng, and which was destroyed by fire in 1807, was also valued at two hundred dollars; Capt. John Stephenson's, lately standing, above West Gorham, at one hundred, and William McLellan's, one hundred and thirty dollars. There were also one hundred and thirty barns, valued at from three to fifty dollars. Stephen Longfellow appears to have had the best; his is put at fifty dollars : the next are those belonging to Hugh and William McLellan, these are put at thirty-five dollars each.
It appears that our ancestors thought well of good drink, for we find they manufactured two barrels of cider to each ton of hay cut on their farms. It stands thus on the valuation ; " Tons of hay cut,

1,103 ; - Barrels of cider made, 2,225,"-two barrels of cider to each person, young and old, in the town.
The usual production of grain, of all kinds, in the town was about eleven thousand, three hundred and seventy-one bushels yearly ; and there was on hand when this valuation was taken about one thousand bushels. This was in June, from which it appears that with a mod- erate chance for a good harvest there was no great danger of a famine, particularly as, from the usual manner in which valuations are given in to the assessors, we may suppose this was no over estimate.
The live stock on hand amounted to one hundred and fifty-five horses over two years old, two hundred and fifty-one oxen, five hun- dred and ninety-five cows, two hundred and twenty-five swine over six months old, and twelve hundred and fourteen sheep over one year old. About one hundred and seventy-three families kept swine, each family owning from one to six. Cows were kept by two hundred and thirteen persons ; the greatest number kept by any one was by William McLellan, fifteen. Simon Huston kept twelve; Hugh Mclellan, nine ; George Thomes, eight ; Stephen Longfellow and Robert McDonald, seven each. It does not appear that sheep were kept in large flocks in Gorham : there were only four flocks of thirty and upwards; Simon Huston had fifty, and Ebenezer Hall, Hugh Mclellan and Jedediah Cobb had thirty each. The balance was in small flocks, - nearly all owning a few -from four to twenty-five.
Such a thing as a chaise or pleasure carriage was hardly known in the country at this time. In the valuation book there is no column for the value of chaises, but they were taxable by law : the bushels of grain on hand and the value of chaises were entered in the same column, and against the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, or as she was at the time more commonly called, Madam Ross, there is the entry ninety-nine in figures, with no explanation, and as that is more than double the number that was returned by any person in town of bushels of grain on hand, the probability is that this was for a chaise, and if this is so, it is the first one in town of which we have any account.
In the following list of the population of Gorham, the number of inhabitants corresponding with the first four dates are estimated, as may be found expressed more fully elsewhere :

CHAPTER XX.
CIVIL WAR OF 1861-65, AND THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
The bombardment of Sumter, Apr. 12, 1861, found the State of Maine as totally unprepared to furnish troops to aid in crushing the Rebellion as can well be imagined. The militia of the State com- prised an enrolled but unarmed force of about sixty thousand men, of whom only about twelve hundred were in any condition for use in an emergency arising within the limits of the State; and their uni- forms, equipments and camp equipage were totally unfit for use in the field.
April 15th, President Lincoln called upon Maine to furnish one regiment of infantry, for a three months' service. Our State Legis- lature, however, called together at an extra session, realized that if the war should last longer than at first anticipated, the Government would labor under a great disadvantage in having only three months men under arms, and resolved to furnish, as soon as it possibly could, ten regiments, fully armed and equipped, and enlisted to serve for two years. To each man thus enlisting, was allowed a bounty of two months pay, provided he should be mustered into the service of the United States. Maine's " First Regiment " was mustered in for three months, but the other regiments for three years.
At a town meeting, held in Gorham on the 29th of April, 1861, the following resolves were passed unanimously : --
" Resolved, That as citizens of Gorham, in town meeting legally assembled, we cordially approve of the action of the Governor and Legislature of this State in promptly responding to the call of the President of the United States for men and means to defend the Government and honor of the Country.
" Resolved, That we will cheerfully sustain our proportion of all the expenses necessarily growing out of this fearful emergency in our country's affairs, not as a burden imposed, but as a willing sacrifice."
There were six resolutions passed, and it was then
" Voted, That by the power and authority given by an Act of the Legislature, passed at its late extra session, the town of Gorham will and does hereby raise the sum of one thousand dollars, for the pur- poses contemplated in the sixth section of said Act : and that the Hon. Josiah Pierce, Col. Hugh D. Mclellan and Joseph W. Parker, with the selectmen, be a committee to appropriate the sum as the

exigences of the case may require; and that the selectmen be, and hereby are, authorized to draw their orders on the Treasurer accord- ingly."
At a meeting held on the 8th day of May, the selectmen were withdrawn from this committee, and Freeman Harding, Merrill T. Files and Thomas J. Hasty were chosen members in their places. The duties of this committee were to distribute support to the famil- ies of the Gorham companies of Volunteers, who were absent in the service of their country.
During the war Gorham contributed for the aid of the soldiers, money, hospital stores, etc., to the value of about four thousand, four hundred dollars.
Two companies, belonging to the Fifth and Ninth regiments, were enlisted in Gorham, and were composed of men from Gorham and other Maine towns. The first man to enlist in Gorham was John C. Summersides ; Edward B. Phinney and Theodore Shackford being the second and third, respectively. Co. A., 5th regiment, marched from Gorham in June, under the command of Capt. Josiah Heald, for Portland, where the regiment was organized and mustered into the service of the United States on the 24th of that month, leaving Portland for Washington on the 26th. Col. Mark H. Dunnell of Portland organized, and at this time commanded the regiment. Col. Edward A. Scamman, who commanded the Fifth from Nov. 1, 1862, to Jan. 8, 1863, was a Gorham man by birth. Our townsman Henry R. Millett, enlisted in Co. A. as a private. On the organization of the regiment he was appointed Ist Sergeant. July 12, 1861, he was promoted to 2d Lieut., and in the following August to Captain, from which rank he rose to Major, and on Jan. 8, 1863, was commissioned Lieut. Col. of the regiment. Col. Millett served with honor and dis- tinction, as a brave soldier and a good officer. He was wounded at Rappahannock Station in Nov., 1863, and at Cold Harbor on the 4th of June, 1864. John C. Summersides, who also enlisted as a pri- vate in the same company, returned home with the rank of Captain.
This regiment saw much severe fighting, and its record is one of which its former members may justly feel proud. It was engaged in the battles of Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Gaines' Mill, Charles City Cross Roads, Crampton Pass, Antietam, Fredericksburg, second Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Rappahannock Station, the Battle of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania Court House and Cold Harbor, beside a number of smaller fights, including West Point and Salem Hights. In the fight at Rappahannock Station four Rebel battle flags were

captured by four members of this regiment; Corporal Theodore Shackford capturing the stand of colors belonging to the Fifty- fourth North Carolina regiment. After three years of service the Fifth Maine was mustered out at Portland on the 27th of July, 1864. - Capt. Colman Harding enlisted a company and Sept. 18, 1861, with his company, K, of the Ninth Regiment, left Gorham for Augusta, where the regiment rendezvoused. On its organization, which took place on the 21st, Capt. Harding was elected Lieut. Col., and Lieut. Thomas E. Wentworth was chosen to succeed him as Captain. The regiment moved from Augusta on the 24th, and arrived at Washington two days later. November 7th it was landed at Hilton Head, So. Carolina, where it took part in the taking and occupying of that place. In July, 1863, the regiment went up Folly river, under fire from the enemy's batteries, and landed on Morris Island, where it charged and carried the rifle pits, capturing the colors of the 2 1 st S. Carolina regiment. The Ninth was one of the regiments that assaulted Fort Wagner on the 11th and 18th of July and the 6th of September. It was in the assault of the 18th that Capt. Chester B. Shaw, who had succeeded Capt. Wentworth in the command of K company, was killed at the head of his men. After he was wounded and unable to do anything for himself, he was heard urging his men not to wait for him, but to go forward. This regiment was also engaged with the enemy at Walthal Junction, Drury's Bluff, Bermuda Hundred, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Deep Bottom, and in the assault upon Fort Gilmore. It was mustered out at Raleigh, N. C., July 13, 1865.
In 1864 Col. Hugh D. Mclellan was appointed, by the Governor and Council of Maine, one of the Commissioners to take the soldiers' votes in the Presidential and State elections of that year, and he was also instructed to visit such hospitals in the South as he might be able to, with a view to the amelioration of the condition of the Maine soldiers, and the collection of information which might result to their benefit.
