LETTER FROM JOB PENDLETON, OF ISLESBOROUGH.
Long Island, 29th March, 1789.
To the General Court of Massachusetts.
Gentlemen : I, the subscriber, am possessed of an island laying in Penobscot bay, known by the name of Little Long Island, containing two hundred and four acres (likewise an island joining by a bar at low water, containing thirteen acres), which island I settled in the year 1769, together with Mr. James Matthews and Mr. Shubacl Williams. On the 9th day of November, 1769, I purchased James Matthews' third part, likewise on the 23d day of September, 1772, I purchased Mr. Shubael Williams' third part, which I have their deeds to show.
The above written are facts that I can clearly prove ; and whereas, gentlemen, you having the power to settle and do justice to the individuals in this remote part of

the State, I humbly pray that you will inform me how I may still be in quiet possession of my land, and humbly submit myself to your direction and the laws of this Com- monwealth.
I am, gentlemen,
your most obedient and most humble servant, JOB PENDLETON.
Copy of Deed dated July 19, 1790, and signed by George Miner and Anna Miner.
* George Miner, of Islesborough, in the county of Hancock, yeoman, to Simon Dodge, of the same town and county, carpenter, "one certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in Islesborough aforesaid, containing one hundred and eighteen acres, butted and bounded as follows: Beginning at a spruce tree standing on the shore fifteen rods from the spring landing, marked with letters M. P. for a corner, running from thence north seventy-one degrees, west two hundred and two rods to a yellow birch tree marked with letters M. P. P. corner, thence running south fifty-two degrees, west one hundred and three rods to a yellow birch tree standing in the line of William Grifeth for a corner, thence running south thirty-eight degrees east along said line to a rock maple tree on the shore marked W. G., being William Grifeth's corner bound, thence easterly along the shore bounding thereon to the place first mentioned."
Copy of Deed dated 14th September, 1790.
Zachariah Marshall, of Islesborough, in the county of Hancock, yeoman, to Rathburn Dodge of said Islesborough,
* It is very hard to locate this deed, but it was probably on Seven- Hundred-Acre Island. The deed was of little value, as the land after- wards had to be bought of the proprietor to make the title good. The oldest people living have no knowledge of George Miner, nor of Wil- liam Grifeth.
There is a ledge in Gilkey Harbor called Miner ledge.

a certain lot or piece of land situated in said Islesborough, bounded as follows, viz : Upon the north beginning at a birch tree at the shore, it being a boundary between Samuel Williams and Zachariah Marshall, thence running south- westerly by the shore forty rods, thence running back, keeping the same width to the head of the said Zachariah Marshall lot. Consideration fourteen pounds.
GRINDLE POINT LIGHT-HOUSE.
The light-house is situated at the entrance of Gilkey Harbor. It was built in 1850. The first keeper was Mr. H. Dunning, second Mansfield Clark, of Islesborough, third Capt. F. Grindle, of Islesborough. Those three inen served about three years. The fourth keeper was Charles Nash, fifth Nelson Gilkey, sixth Avery Gilkey, seventh S. H. Higgins, and the present keeper Isaac Hatch.
Gilkey's Harbor is one of the best on the coast of Maine. Easy of access, it is large, with plenty of water for the largest class of vessels. Entering from the west Penob- scot bay, leave the light on the port hand, and Warren Island on the starboard hand. Then steer so as to leave a point of Spruce Island on the starboard hand, giving it a berth, as it makes shoal off the island, or keep in mid bay until you have passed Spruce Island Point, when you may anchor and be secure from all winds. When the wind is to the westward and the tide is making ebb, it is hard to get out of this passage. You can go through the harbor leaving Spruce Island on the starboard hand, giving it a berth, but keeping it best aboard, to avoid a sunken rock which lies in the middle of the harbor. Also Long Ledge which you leave on the port hand. Then steer for Phil- brook's point, on Seven-Hundred-Acre Island, leaving it on the starboard hand. After passing Philbrook's Point, south-west one-fourth west for the Ensign Islands, leav-

ing them on the starboard hand, keeping then best aboard to avoid sunken ledges that lie off from Job's Island. There is a passage through Gilkey Harbor to the east Pe- nobscot bay, but it would not do for a stranger. If bound through you can always get a pilot, who will take you through to the east Penobscot bay. This harbor ought to be buoyed.
