Nathaniel Conant, just named, had been a drover in Dau- vers. He bought the field west of the brick dwelling of the two Whites, and also their half of the saw-mill. Mr. Conant's residence was in the one-story building facing the mill, which had been built and occupied by Ellenwood, the millwright. To this one-story he employed Seth Peabody to add a two-story house, which, on the erection by his son, Andrew, of the brick house opposite, was, as before men- tioned, moved north half a mile, to the lot opposite the late William Parsons'. Andrew Conant moved eastward, and died there. His father, Nathaniel, was an enterprising and useful citizen, and owned the largest real estate in the town, HIe died in 1807, leaving five sons and two daughters.

There were two or three Indian families on the east side of Massabesie or Shaker Pond and on the hill when Simeon Coffin, the pioneer, arrived. Ile soon after moved from the

wigwam near Capt. Hall's to a cabin a little north of Far- num's tanuery, and then to the top of Shaker Hill, to one of the wigwams standing, as before remarked, on the site of the present house of Shaker worship. He was soon followed by Chase Sargent, Daniel Hibbard, and Benjamin Barnes, with his five sons, wife, and daughters. There came, also, Valentine Straw, near the site of the Shaker mill, and at the south end of Shaker Hill came aud settled Ebenezer aud Thomas Russell. About the same time several families settled about Buuganut Pond at Mast Camp, who soon be- came " Merry Dancers,"* and united with the others above named.

Besides the Coffins, who arrived in 1764 and 1765, there came in the latter year Daniel Giles, a native of Plaistow, New Hampshire, who tarried one year on his way in San- ford, and then settled a quarter of a mile north of Coffin's wigwam, on the bank of the brook near the potash-factory, subsequently established. His son, named Stephen, was the first male child born in Alfred ; a female child was born among the Coffins a few months previous. Deacon Giles' wife died in 1774, which was the first death of an adult in Alfred. The first two-story house was built by said Giles. Daniel Hibbard, as before stated, succeeded Daniel McDan- iels in the Noble house; he was accidentally killed by Daniel Lary in felling a tree, on the hill northeast of the late Col. Lewis'; his widow, Ruth Hibbard, taught a school in the Ezekiel Eastman house, with her daughter, Dolly, and then moved to the Barneses on Shaker Hill. The Barnes family came from Berwick, first to the John Knight house, north of the late John Sayward's, and were succeeded by Joshua Conant, John Knight, and Mr. Yeaton ; the Barneses moved from the foot of Shaker Hill to the top of it, where they joined the Shakers.

HON. SYLVESTER LITTLEFIELD

was born in the town of Wells, York Co., Me., May :27, 1820, the eighth child of Theodore and Martha (Hobbs) Littlefield. The progenitor of the family was Edmund Littlefield, who emigrated from South- ampton, England, in 1637, first settling in Exeter, N. H., and removing to Wells in 1641.

Theodore Littlefield, father of Sylvester, was born, married, raised his family, and died in Wells. He was a millwright by trade, and a thorough me- chanic. There were nine children in the family, viz .: one died in infancy, Theodore, Olive, Chris- topher, Woodbury, Ann, William H., Sylvester, and Enos H. Olive, Christopher, and Woodbury are deceased. Theodore and Enos H. are residents of Alfred. Ann is wife of Ivory Goodwin, of Wells. The mother died at Kennebunk.

Sylvester Littlefield received his education at the common school of his native town, and at Kenne- bunk and Parsonsfield Academies. At the age of sixteen he taught the district school at Wells one term. In 1836 he went to Tyngsborongh, Mass., and learned the millwright trade of his brother Chris- topher. He remained here four years. For about three years following, in the employ of and accom- panied by his brother Christopher, he was engaged in introducing a patent water-wheel in portions of the States of Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada. He came to Alfred in the fall of 1842, and tanght the district school there the following winter.

Since 1843 he has carried on, in company with his brothers, Theodore and Enos H., the carding, saw, and grist-mills sitnated on the eastern branch of the Mousam River, one mile sontheast of the village of Alfred. They also operated a steam saw-mill in the town of York from 1865 to 1870. For about ten years after coming to Alfred, Mr. Littlefield worked at his trade, in connection with his manufacturing interest.

In politics Mr. Littlefield was identified with the Democratic party np to the organization of the Re- publican party, and has since been an active snp- porter of the latter.

TOWN OF ALFRED.

" ALFRED, March 25, 1799.

"The foregoing is a true copy of the General List of letter D, in the 13th District and 2d Division of the State of Massachusetts, agreeable to an act of Congress, passed the 9th day of July, 1798. "WM. PARSONS, Principal Assessor."

MILLS IN ALFRED.

The first one erected was Conant's, already described. The water from it flowed back to the Pequawket road, and incommoded the emigrants to Fryeburg, who forded the river a few rods below the bridge, near Mr. Came's.

The second one was at the extreme south end of the town, formerly owned by John Parsons.

The third, Moody's mill, near the Gore.

The fourth, York's mill, above Moody's.

The fifth, Swett's mill, half a mile southeast of Conant's. The sixth, north of the late Col. Lewis', called Nowell's. The seventh, John Knight's, north of Shaker Hill.

The eighth, Ricker's, near Knight's, afterwards the Shakers'.

The ninth, Sayward's, between John and Ebenezer Say- wards'.

The tenth, Littlefield's, built near the bridge.

The first grist-mills were, 1, Conant's ; 2, Shakers'; 3, Littlefield's, built by Morgan Lewis and William Parsons, fifty rods west of the present one; 4 and 5, Estes' and Moulton's, at the extreme end of the town ; 6, Burleigh's, near the Gore.

The first pottery was started by Joshua Emery, as early as 1791; the second by Daniel Holmes, 1805, opposite the meeting-house, which was moved north to the road in front of Mr. Brooks' house, and afterwards to nearly op- posite the court-house, by Porter Lambert; fourth, by the late Paul Webber.

The first tanners were Deacon Stevens, Daniel Lary, Maj. Warren, and Farnum & Lindsey.

The first postmasters were Joseph Emerson, John Co- nant, Abiel Hall, etc.

SCHOOLS.

The first school-teachers were females. Mrs. Hibbard and her daughter taught about 1770, and were succeeded by Dolly MeDonald. The earliest schoolmaster was John Dennie, grandson of Rev. Dr. Coleman, of Boston, who taught one session among the Gileses. He was succeeded by Jonas Clarke, John W. Parsons, Joseph Emerson, John Giles, Mr. Emerson again, Rev. John Turner, Daniel Smith, Robert Harvey, and Robert Jenkins. Until the beginning of this century school-teaching was almost en- tirely at the Corner, and in the old frame house first raised in Alfred, by Daniel Lary. After 1800 the town was divided into school districts. In 1803 a brick school-house was erected, which was removed in 1860; the lot for the same was given, as before observed, by Joshua Knight, and the building erected by Joseph Parsons. The teachers after this century commenced were Daniel Smith, John Bucklin, Abram Peavey, Jotham Hill, Thomas Rollins, Abiel Hall, Usher Parsons, Isaac C. Day, Joseph Brown, Jobn Frost, Henry Holmes, Benjamin Emerson, John P. Hale, and Daniel Goodenow.

ACADEMY.

The academy building was built by private subscription in the year 1828. The State granted $300. W. C. Lar- rabee was the first preceptor, and Bion Bradbury the second- It was kept in operation a portion of the year, most of the time until the erection of the graded school building in 1862. The building was removed from the old site and converted into a dwelling-house in 1879.

The high, or graded, school building is a commodious wooden structure, with bell and modern school-furniture. The school is well conducted, and has an average attendance of about 50 scholars. There are 7 districts in the town, with a population, in 1870, of 1224, and a valuation of $427,- 140. The value of school property is placed in the State superintendent's report at $5000; number of pupils regis- tered, 251.

The first traders were : 1, Nathaniel Conant ; 2, William Parsons, who brought a few goods with him from Berwick ; 3, Thomas Giles; 4, Nathaniel Conant, Jr. ; 5, Paul Web- ber ; 6, William and Daniel Holmes.

The first brickmakers were Daniel Hibbard, who was accidentally killed by Lary, Gilbert Hasty, Nathaniel Webb, all of them near Conant's mill, and Stephen and Henry Hatch, near the Hay Brook.

The first potash-makers were Deacon Giles and Andrew Burleigh, which proved unsuccessful. William Parsons and Thomas Giles were successful, and continued the busi- ness several years. Parsons also carried it on at Water- borough Corner.

The first blacksmiths were John and Joshua Goodrich, Joseph Avery, and Eliphalet Griffin.

ROADS.

There were Indian trails leading through the forests of York County prior to 1620, by which trappers and hunters pursued their game. About this time, or a little earlier, a settlement was made at Wiuter Harbor, at the mouth of Saco River, and in 1624 mills were erected on the branches of the Piscataqua, at Newichawannoek and Quampegan. Indians were numerous on the banks of these and of the Mousam River, and on the shores of large ponds, as the Ossipee, Massabesie, and Pequawket, or Lovel's Ponds, who collected furs and brought them to the truck-, or trad- ing-house. The Indian pathways were most numerous along the rivers by which intercourse was held between the in- terior and the sea-board, where Indians were drawn in pur- suit of shell-fish. Such was probably the course of travel until the truck-houses were opened at Saco, Wells, Salmon Falls, and Dover (Cocheco), when the hunters opened new paths from river to river, across the intervening territory. Thus the first road that crossed Alfred, of which we have any knowledge, came from Salmon Falls over Oak Hill, and south of the house of old Col. Emery, and near Mr. Staniel's, to the Hay Brook, and thence near and a little east of Aaron Littlefield's bridge, and, crossing there, as- cended the bank and passed along near the south side of the court-house, and onward to the new bridge, through Lyman to Little Falls, before a single house was erected in Alfred, and was probably the first road opened through the town. The road between Alfred and Kennebunk must have been

opened early for lumber to pass from Conant's mill. It is believed, however, to have passed through Mouse Lane. The Pequawket road from Sanford branched off many rods east of Littlefield's house, and went back of Alonzo Leavett's house, and of the jail and Emerson's barn, down to the brook at Lary's, and thence bore eastwardly to John Emerson's and to Shaker Bridge, giving off a branch to go by Griffin's up to the Coffin and Giles road, whilst the Shaker branch, after crossing at the foot of the pond, went onward to the mills nearer to the ponds than the present road, which goes over Shaker Hill through the village.
