CHAPTER XXXII.


EARLY ROADS.


OR more than a dozen years after the settlement of this town, there was no road between here and Portland, by the way of Paris. A settlement on Paris Hill was begun about the time that the first settler came to Rumford, and a few years later, a road had been laid out and built between Paris and Portland, by way of Poland and New Gloucester, but Paris was for some time its northern terminus. There was a path through the woods to Rum- ford. It followed up the little Androscoggin river to Bryant's Pond, then struck off to North Woodstock, and for several miles was along a peculiar ridge of land, very early, and to the present time, called the "Whale's Back." Persons frequently passed through the wilderness between the settlements on the Androscog- gin and the Jackson settlement, as Paris Hill was then called, on foot and sometimes on horseback. The distance was not far from twenty miles, and there was no intervening habitation or clearing. In winter, the journey was generally made on snow-shoes.


In 1795, the inhabitants of New Pennacook petitioned the Court of General Sessions, which held its terms in Portland, for the loca- tion of a road from the southeast corner of Paris, by way of a place called " Stony Brook," and "Biscoe's Falls." to the northwest corner of Paris, and from thence through township number 3 to the south line of New Pennacook. The prayer was granted, and the following persons were appointed to locate the road : Nathaniel C. Allen, Isaac Parsons, Ichabod Bonney, John Greenwood and Peleg Chandler. The following are some of the points named in the minutes of the survey : " Beginning at a hemlock tree in the easterly line of Paris standing in the center of the County road to be located and laying two rods on each side of the corner; thence to a point opposite Solomon Shaw's house ; thence to a point opposite Abner Shaw's barn ; thence to a point opposite Benjamin Hammond's barn ; thence to the center of a county road formerly laid ont to the center lot in Paris ; thence on said road 155 rods to the end thereof ;

thence to the bridge over Swift brook; thence to the north end of the bridge over Fall brook ; thence to a stake and stones on the easterly bank of the little Amariscoggin river at Biscoe's Falls ; thence across said river to a spruce tree, &c., &c., to the northwest corner of Paris ; thence through number 3 to the southerly end of a ridge called ' Whale's back ;' thence on said ridge to the northerly end thereof near a brook, and thenee to a Norway Pine tree stand- ing in the southerly line of New Pennacook." The Commissioners were eleven days in loeating this road and the entire expense, in- cluding seven days labor by Lemuel Jackson, Jr., and six by Nicholas Chesley, was $99.00. The road here described, and which was opened within a year or two, did not follow the old spotted line and path through Number 3, now Woodstock, but passed over the high lands of that town, where the Bryants soon after began a settlement, and intersected the old foot-path at North Woodstoek. In 1802, on petition of Francis Keyes of Rumford, and also parties in Bethel and Paris, the Court of Sessions appointed Michael Little of Lewiston, a committee to repair the road between Paris and Rumford, through Number 3. Mr. Little owned lands in Number 3, now Woodstock, which accounts for his appointment.


One of the earliest roads built in Rumford, was on the south side of the Great Androscoggin river, to connect with a road to Peru and Jay. The town of Jay then included the present town of Can- ton. There is no record of the location of this road by order of the Court of Sessions, and it was probably laid out and built by the settlers. It was built prior to 1788, for Samuel Titeomb of Wells wrote a letter that year, in which he stated that a road had lately been cleared out from Butterfield to New Pennacook and Sudbury, Canada. Butterfield Plantation then ineluded the present towns of Sumner and Hartford, but just where the road here described entered the Pennacook road, the oldest inhabitant does not know. Between 1784 and 1802, several down river roads were located to connect with the "Pennacook road" as it is invariably called in the records of the Court of Sessions. In 1802, a road was located by Isaac Parsons, Jedediah Cobb, Abijah Buek, John Greenwood, Peter Chandler and John Thompson, a committee appointed by the Court of Sessions, from Isaac Bonney's well in the town of Sumner to the Pennacook road in Jay. Most of the committee were of New Gloucester, but Abijah Buck was of Buekfield, and John Thompson who was the Surveyor of the party, was of Rumford.

HISTORY OF RUMFORD.


The road from Paris to New Pennacook is the only one on record as having been laid out by order of the Court of Sessions to accom- modate the settlers of this town. In 1805, the county of Oxford was organized, and county roads in Rumford were thereafter located by the County Commissioners. The Paris and New Pennacook road was only located to the Southerly line of Rumford, where it doubt- less connected with a system of roads located and built by the town. It is much to the credit of the early settlers here, that they located and cleared out their own highways, constructed their own bridges, and had no help from the county of Cumberland.

CHAPTER XXXIV.


ENUMERATION OF 1850.


HE first census of the United States was taken in 1790. Since


GUWANIU that time they have been taken for each decade, but the enumeration for 1850 was the first in which a copy of the lists of the names was deposited in the archives of the State. The following enumeration is copied from the volume in the Maine State Library, and is doubtless approximately correct. Some of the early settlers then lingered on the shores of time and their names and ages are herein given, but most of them had passed to their eternal rest. The reader of the preceding pages has not failed to notice that several of the names quite common in town in its early years, had become extinct in 1850, while additional names are by no means numerous. The Abbots, Farnums, Martins and Virgins held their own quite well when this enumeration was made, but many other families still represented, had greatly fallen off in numbers :
