MINUTES OF SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH DIVISIONS OF LOTS IN BELFAST, 1778-1838
THE original minutes of the surveys of the second, third, and fourth divisions of the "Proprietors Lands " in Belfast were kept in the custody of the several clerks of that organization, the last of whom was Benja- min Houston, who, under the authority of said Proprietors given as late as 1838, made conveyance of land that year. At the close of Houston's service all records, minutes, or other documental matters were deposited with Hon. Nathan Foster Houston, in whose keeping they remain (1912).
Copies of the minutes of the surveys of the first division of lots, were given in Volume I, and it has been thought worth while to complete the record and preserve it, by printing the minutes of the second, third, and fourth divisions of lots here.
The appended copy was made expressly for this volume, in December, 1912, under the personal direction of Hiram P. Farrow, civil engineer, of Belfast, and the proof-sheets of the same were read by him.
By way of introduction to these, the following, quoted from pages 63-66 of Volume I of Williamson's "History of Belfast," is interesting, and shows also, how Belfast first came to be settled: -
"Among the sixteen men, who with their families first composed the settlement at Londonderry, N. H., was one John Mitehell. He brought with him from Ireland a son of the same name, then five years old. The latter was afterwards apprenticed to a housewright, and as late as 1768, styles himself a 'joiner.' Early in life, however, he relinquished his trade, and became a well-known practical surveyor, and a teacher of the higher branches of mathematics. . .. Soon after the termination of the French War, Governor Bernard, of Massachusetts, appointed him to superintend a survey of the Schoodic River and of Passamaquoddy Bay, a service which he performed to the entire satisfaction of his employer. .
"On his passage from Boston to Schoodic during the summer of 1765, Mitchell visited Penobscot Bay, and first looked upon the place where our city now stands, then a wilderness, the primeval forest, which no eivilized person had ever penetrated, skirting the coast, and extend- ing as far as the eye could reach. A century of cultivation has greatly changed the prominent features of the landscape. The heights of Blue- hill and of Mount Desert still lift their dim outlines in the east, and the waves of the bay still glitter in the sunbeams; but field and orchard, wharf and shipyard, have crowded off the forest, and busy trade has encroached upon the curving lines of the once lonely shores. It can well be imagined how forcibly the varied scenery of the locality, and also its natural resources, may have impressed the mind of so intelligent and discriminating a man as Mitchell. Learning at Fort Pownall that the land which bordered upon our harbor was for sale, he communicated the
596
APPENDIX
information to his friends in Londonderry. The result was the forma- tion of a 'community,' or 'proprietary,' as it was called, for the purchase of a township, then designated only as a 'traet on the southerly side of a township granted to Colonel Goldthwait.'"
"On the fourth day of October, 1768, the proprietors, thirty-five in number, held their first regular meeting in Londonderry, and adopted certain articles of government. It was then voted to divide the land composing the township, which contained by estimation fifteen thou- sand acres, into fifty-one rights or shares. Persons were not admitted as shareholders simply upon request, but the circumstances and stand- ing of each applicant were duly considered. One of the first acts which appears of record is 'that we bind ourselves that no one shall own a right amongst us that is unable to produce a certificate of good moral char- acter to the satisfaction of the community, and of the gentlemen of whom we purchase.' A bond was entered into to make an immediate settlement."
A list of the names and number of rights of each member of the pro- prietary then follows in Volume I.
"Mitchell, as owner of the largest portion, was elected clerk of tlie organization; and the records are in his handwriting from their com- mencement until the year 1779. A committee of three persons was selected at the first meeting ' to go to Boston to have the agreement for the land made more explicit.' ... "
"The representatives of the fifty-one rights agreed to divide the land on the shore, so far up the river as navigation was then supposed to extend, into fifty-two harbor or first division lots, reserving one lot, No. 26, 'for the first gospel minister that is settled; viz., one hundred acres off the north end, and the remainder on the south end to be a common to build a meeting-house on, and a grave-yard and a training- field.' These lots contained from ninety-six to one hundred and twenty- two acres each, excepting No. 27, which, by reason of including a por- tion of Goose River, comprised one hundred and seventy-three acres. The shore frontage of the lots was about forty rods each. The side lines running from north to south on the eastern side of the harbor, and from east to West on the other side, averaged four hundred rods in length. A highway, four rods wide was reserved across each lot, to be laid out when required; and another, two rods wide, was reserved for the inhab- itants on the side line of every fourth lot. Many of the side lines are still marked by stone walls, especially on the eastern side of the river. The variation of the magnetic needle during a century has somewhat inter- fered with the original courses."
A copy of Chadwick's plan is given in Volume I. "The fourth division lots were not originally included. That portion of the township which in 1845 was set off to form Searsport is indicated by black lines."
"Due notice to the proprietors of 'the tract of land called Passagase- wakeg' summoned them to meet at the house of David Craig, inn- holder, in Londonderry, March 8, 1769, 'to draw their first division lots, and to come prepared to pay their part of the charges on account of the
597
APPENDIX
purchase.' At the appointed time and place a division was made," as stated at length in Volume I. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that this is the first mention of the name Passagassawakeag (place where dead men walk), which occurs in the Proprietors' Records.
The minutes of the first division of lots are, as already stated, given in full in Volume I, pp. 66-86. The minutes of the second, third, and fourth divisions of lots follow: -
