Hope, Maine Town Clerk Records 1804 - 1848 a Literal Transcription Hope, Maine Town Clerk Records 1804 - 1848 A Literal Transcription Cynthia S. DellaPenna, Editor Hope Historical Society 2020 [00-4] [This page is blank The Hope Historical Society hopes the reader enjoys the Following transcribed pages oF the original Town oF Hope Record Book kept by various Town Clerks over the years beginning with the town’s incorporation in 1804. This record book or journal, which has entries to 1848, contains the early history oF a signiFicant portion oF the Town oF Appleton, as it was not until 1843 that Hope was ordered by the Maine State Legislature to set oFF the populous western section of town, that included McLean’s Mills, to Appleton. The early record book had been presumed lost; it was Found on Ebay by Lois Montbertrand, a private donor, who presented it to Yale Law Library where it was digitized. At the top leFt of most pages, one will see numbers in brackets, as on this page; what these numbers reFer to are the digitized pages of the original record book. When the record book was digitized, it was done in sections running from 00 to 17, 17 being the back cover. Each section contains from 12 to 20 pages. To easily reference the original document, the bracketed numbering system was incorporated. The transcription was done by Five people: Linda Hillgrove, section 02; Bob Appleby, halF oF section 06; Ron Smith, section 07; Veronica Westbo, section 09; all other sections were transcribed by Cynthia S. DellaPenna and all sections were edited by her plus indexed. There is limited Footnoting and some sidebar annotations throughout the transcription. A separate Excel spreadsheet has been prepared listing some of the most important elected town officers from 1804 to 1848, also a spreadsheet, extracted from the Town Record book, listing town roads that were laid out and/or discontinued From 1804 to 1847. The reader needs to be aware this is a literal transcription. The handwriting at times was diFFicult to read and the spelling of names hard to interpret. Researching other records including U. S. Federal census, surrounding towns, and our own local history records assisted in interpreting poor handwriting. The editor is aware that that there may be need for further fine tuning of the interpreted written word, brackets have been used with question marks when a word or phrase is unreadable in the original document. The Towns oF Hope and Appleton are in debt to the beneFicent donors, Lois Montbertrand and Mike Widener, who is the Rare Book Librarian & Lecturer in Legal Research, Lillian Goldman Law Library, Yale Law School. The town’s beginning history have been restored. This transcribed original Town Record book pairs well with the subsequent journals held at the Hope Town OFFice.

MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRIZE ESSAY 1977 The Smuggling Career of William King by Alan S. Taylor One of the most fascinating controversies to emerge from Maine’s role in the War of 1812 is whether William King, the leader of Maine’s Democratic-Republican party and the state’s first governor, illegally traded with the British. Throughout King’s political career, charges were hurled that many of his vessels had operated in violation of the revenue laws. These charges remained unsubstantiated rumors spread by his Federalist political opponents until 1824 when two of his estranged political proteges, Benjamin Ames and Joseph F. Wingate, Jr., anonymously published The Disclosure No. 1: Documents Relating to Violations and Evasions of the Laws During the Commercial Restrictions and Late War With Great Britain, etc., a collection of letters and depositions intended to prove that King and his good friend, Mark Langdon Hill, were indeed guilty of smuggling.
