(Continued from last week)

By the hectograph process "ap- proximately 100 to 150 copies of a document may be reproduced in methly-violet dye from a single mas- ter sheet." There are two processes which may be used in hectographing, the gelatin and the liquid, the latter being preferable. With the use of the liquid process the decrease In legi- bility begins after 100 to 150 copies have been made. The hectograph pro- cess has rarely been used to reproduce a long manuscript. Dr. Stanton L. Davis of Cleveland, Ohlo, however, used it to produce fifty coples of a 350 page book, "Pennsylvania Poli- tics," 1860-63, at a cost of $1.95 per copy. The additional expense for binding amounted to $32.50. He found that the totai hectograph costs of his book, exclusive of binding and mail- tion of fifty were only $47.10 more ing ($6.72 to 18 libraries), for an edi- than the cost of the typewritten draft

and one carbon copy.

If worst comes to worst and you- find ali attempts to print, lithoprint,. / planograph, mimeograph, multigraph,. or hectograph your manuscript im- possible you can still bind the type= written pages as well as the carbon, copies, and deposit one or more in: the local library with instructions to. allow the material to be used. One 'copy, perhaps the original, you will want to keep yourself as a reminder of a labor well done, of which the workman need not be ashamed. La. Porte, Indiana, has a "History of One: Hundred Years," consisting of only; seven copies of 2,039 typewritten; pages. It has 256 articles written by several hundred contributors, 90 il -- lustrations, and an index of 160 pag -. es. The seven coples of this unique: local history have been deposited. where they can be consuited, "four in. La Porte and three eisewhere."

One more suggestion remains re- garding the publication of your local history. The American Documenta- tion Institute, which operates the Bibliofilm Service referred to in an earlier chapter, has a plan for un- published materiais: You submit your manuscript to, let us say, the jour- nal of your state historical society with the request that the journal publish It in its entirety (which it ) certainly cannot afford to do), or print a summary (which the journal may ask you to write for it). In the. iatter case the summary will have a note attached to it that the complete manuscript is available from ADI (American Documentation Institute), as Document No .- -, at a cost

-- cents in microfilm or- of cents in photoprint. The editor of: the journal forwards to the A.DI: the. complete manuscript with the deposit form filled out, giving the author's, name, the titie, and the issue of the. journal in which the summary will: appear. ADI receives the manuscript: as a permanent deposit, gives It a; Document Number and fixes the price for a copy, at Its regular cost copying rates, and at once advises the editor of the Document Number. and the price.

The better way, howev- er. is to have these done by litho- printing and the sheets with illustra- tions can be inserted at the desired positions in the mlmeographed ma- terial, or ail may be placed at the end of the volume.

I have since discov- ered that many others have felt the same way, but have put together the necessary data for a short talk. I hope you will bear with me while I unearth the records-as sketchy as they may be in spots and as scanty as they may be in others.

I have been helped immeasurably by my cousin living in the old fam- ily homestead in. Alfred, Maine. She ha's saved me much time by delving into various books on the five dis- tinct and separate branches living in Virginia as well as nine other separ- ate and unconnected Lewis families living throughout New England. .

The tenth distinct branch of Lew- ises, of which I will talk, first ap- peared in Roxbury, Mass. in 1640 when John Lewis settled there. I will quickly sketch out the family, and then go back to talk about a

few of the more interesting person- alities, famlly connections and items that may be of interest.

Generation 1 John Lewis, 1640, resided Roxbury, Mass. Gen. 2 Peter Lewis, 1644-1712, married Grace Diamond, 1705, Kit- tery, Me.

Gen. 3 Morgan Lewis, 1684-1712, married 1705 Abigail Ingersoli, Kit- tery, Me. and York, Me.

Gen. 5 Major Morgan Lewis 1734- 1784, married 1760, Sarah Tripp, York, Me. and Aifred, Me.

Gen. 6. Col. Daniel Lewis 1772-1833 married 1798 Abigail Parsons, Al- fred, Me.

Gin. 10 Charles W. Lewis, Jr .n 1912 married Marion Low

Jah-nectady, N. Y.

Gen. 11 Charles W. Lewis III bor: 1940.

T ... earliest records of the family .... extremely thin especially those 'nining to John Lewis and his am ly who settled in Roxbury. Mass a" !: in 1640. All records of that ity seem to have been copled in one and writing up to 1652. Tradition ways either the records were destroy-

·ere later destroyed at the time of the Revolution. Anyway, that prett ;.

Many/ of their York neighbors .went with them and all settled in the' same lo- cality which was called York Street, on the left bank of the Meussam river. York Street is known as the Sanford Road and is part of U. & Highway 202. Descendants of the Haleys, Linscotts, Traftons, Gareys, Allens and the Welches still own the original land. Morgan's farm was about a mile square bounded on two sides by the Moussam river and by the county road on a third side. It was originally one of the Hutchinson Grants. At Morgan's death the land was divided between his two sons, Morgan, Jr. and Col. Daniel Lewis. The tax bill for Daniel's half of the [property is still made. out to "The Lewis Heirs.'

It has been said that he, his first son, Jeremiah and one William Parsons built the first Grist Mill in Alfred. The Mill is now known as Lit- tlefield Mill.

Morgan Lewis was in the service throughout the War of the Revolu- tion. He was captain of the Minute- men of Sanford, and acting captain of the 30th Regiment of Foot from May 3rd, 1775, until August of that year. He was captain until February, 1776.
