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 civilized person had ever penetrated, skirting the coast, and extending as far as the eye could reach. A century of cultivation has greatly changed the prominent features of the landscape. The heights of Bluehill 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 im- agined 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 com- municated the information to his friends in Londonderry. The re- sult was the formation of a " community," or " proprietary," as it was called, for the purchase of the township, then designated only as " a tract 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 esti- mation fifteen thousand acres, into fifty-one rights or shares. Persons were not admitted as shareholders simply upon request, but the circumstances and standing 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 character to the satis- faction of the community, and of the gentlemen of whom we pur- chase." A bond was entered into to make an immediate settlement.
The names and number of rights of each member of the pro- prietary are as follows : -
John Steele 3 rights. John Mitchell, Jr. . 6
" John Gilmore for Robert Patterson and Sons . . 3 ">
James McGregor . 3

Mitchell, as owner of the largest portion, was elected clerk of the 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 agree- ment for the land made more explicit." James McGregor, John Gilmore, John Tuft, John Steele, and Mitchell, were chosen to " view the land at Penobscot, and inspect into the laying out of the township," their wages to be two shillings each per day when in actual service on the premises. The first committee having performed their mission to Boston by concluding a contract for the land with the heirs of General Waldo for fifteen hundred pounds, which sum, at the existing value of money, was equal to twenty cents an acre, the second committee proceeded to Fort Pownall, and arranged for a survey. Joseph Chadwick was the surveyor employed. As assistant, or " sworn chairman," he had Richard Stimson, and was accompanied by the committee. The lines of the shore lots from Half-way Creek to Little River were marked out during that fall, and the remainder of the territory was perambulated and thoroughly examined.1 No further survey took place until the following summer.
The representatives of the fifty-one rights agreed to divide the land on the shore, so far up the river as navigation was then sup- posed to extend, into fifty-two harbor or first division lots, reserv- ing one lot, No. 26, "for the first gospel minister that is settled ; viz., one hundred aeres 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 con- tained from ninety-six to one hundred and twenty-two acres each,

excepting No. 27, which, by reason of including a portion 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 har- bor, and from east to west on the other side, averaged four hun- dred 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 inhabitants 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 interfered with the original courses.1
A copy of Chadwick's plan is given herewith. 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 Passagasewakeg "2 summoned them to meet at the house of David Craig, innholder, in Londonderry, March 8, 1769, "to draw their first division lots, and to come prepared to pay their part of charges on account of the purchase." At the appointed time and place a division was made as follows : -
No. 1 Bounded as followeth, viz., Beginning at a Spruce tree at the north east parte of said tract of Land, where said land joyns Penobscot Bay, and on the South West Side of Richard Stimpson's Land, from thence North twenty two Degrees west one hundred and one Chains Bounding on said Stimpsons Land, thence South thirty seven Degrees west Bounding on Common Land untill it gives Said No. one ten Chains in wedth at Right angles from the Sid Lines, thence South Twenty two Degrees East to the Shore, thence north easterly to the place first men- tioned, Containing one hundred acres. Drawn by John Mitchell.
No. 2 joyns on the South westerly side of No. one and is ten Ch in wedth at Right angles, the Side Lines and head Line are the same Courses of No. one, Containing one hundred and Eleven acres and forty four Rods. Drawn by John Moor.
No. 3 joyns on the Southwesterly side of No. two, and is ten C.ª in width at Right angles, the Side Lines and head Line are the
1 Since 1768, the variation of the compass has been from five to five and one-quarter degrees west.
2 This is the first mention of the name on the proprietors' records.
