A listing of Sedgwick, Maine's Marriages and Intentions of Marriage 1759 - 1926 G. Richard Currier and Isadora Amelia Sawyer Married the 25th day of November, 1880 Transcribed by Barbara M.

They were not recorded chronologically but instead were noted as they were reported by ministers or others officiating who often had to travel considerable distances to get to the Clerk. As a result, there might be a list of the marriages performed by Rev. C.P. Bartlett in the prior six months, followed by the record of the births of several Sedgwick babies, followed by a record of the marriage intentions of a young couple. Later, after 1840, marriage records were kept separate from other town records but continued to be recorded at the time the events were reported. To create this summary of marriage intentions and marriages Barbara Grindle, Assistant to the Sedgwick Selectmen, went through each volume of the early Town Clerk books and transcribed the marriage information in the order in which it was documented. The work was complicated by the poor condition of the books, the faded ink and the writing style of each Town Clerk which could vary from pristine to illegible but Barbara enjoyed these challenges and compiled as complete and accurate a record as possible. Scan of one of the original records: Transcript: Mr. Samuel Black of this town an Miss Rebekah Annes of annes Island were Published April 1st 1790 by Mr. Joshua Snow,Town Clerk forbid by Susanna Lee Crow Barbara made an effort to transcribe the spelling of names and words as they were recorded. Written at a time when names were often spelled phonetically or as improvised by the person reporting the event, this sometimes resulted in the same name being spelled differently in various volumes. The index reflects these variations in that the same person might be listed with two or more spellings. In 1941 Grace M. Limeburner transcribed the Vital Statistics recorded in Sedgwick prior to 1800 including the records of Marriages and Marriage intentions1. We have included these marriage records in this document. Though there is overlap with the Grindle transcription there were variations, undoubtedly due to the described interpretation difficulties, and the inclusion of these variants in the index may be helpful. 1 Limeburner, Grace M., Sedgwick Maine Vital Statistics, Higginson Book Company, Salem, Mass, 1941. Page 3 of 241 Acknowledgements Sedgwick Maine’s Marriages and Intentions of Marriage 1759-1926 completes a printed work trilogy that details many of the critical life events of the people of Sedgwick. The first volume was Sedgwick, Maine’s Resting Places, self-published in 1998, updated and placed on the Sedgwick web page in 2019 and the second was Vital Records of Sedgwick, Maine published by Picton Press in 2004. My writing began with an interest in local cemeteries and the realization that most had few, if any, written records of their interments. Investigation followed by a stone by stone review resulted in a “cemetery book” that documented burials from as long ago as 1789. Later, prompted by a desire to find records of my own family and with the permission of the Sedgwick Selectmen, I began transcribing the original vital records kept over the years by the Sedgwick Town Clerks. The project took years but the published volume is a great resource. While transcribing I noticed that marriage records were scattered throughout the old record books and, in time, I happened upon a volume that focused exclusively on marriages. With that as the basis I went back through the books and transcribed all of the marriages and intentions of marriages. It took years but was another labor of love. So many people have helped me complete these books. My husband Burt, sister Jane, friend “Snookie”, the Selectmen and office staff of the Sedgwick Town Office, and now the technical people, Pam Simmons who pushed me to get the two latter books onto the website, and Kathy Hickman and Gary Welland who organized my sometimes chaotic transcriptions and created beautiful digital documents. They are wizards!! I started by doing my own genealogy and one thing led to another. My love of this town, its history and the stories of my ancestors kept me enthralled and constantly interested in learning more. I hope my work encourages you to find out more about your own ancestors. You might be amazed by what you find! Any corrections or questions can be sent to me at the Sedgwick Town Office, P.O. Box 40, Sedgwick, ME 04676 or emailed to [email protected]. All corrections will be checked against the original records. Barbara M. Grindle Sedgwick, Maine January 2020 .

LINDSEY, Treasurer 1915 Copyrighted by BENJAMIN J. LINDSEY, 1915 Marblehead, Mass. ABBREVIATIONS S P - Ship' Paper or Pass (see cut; page 23) C P - Clearance Paper (see Cut) page 52 and 98. M V S - Marblehead Vital Statistics G C. - Capt. George Cloutman's Letter Book G B - Glover Broughton INTRODUCTION The information contained in this volume has been obtained by careful and persistent research from widely distributed sources viz: the Marblehead and Salem and Beverly Custom House Records, original books of the Marble- head Marine Insurance Company, covering five thousand policies running from 1800 to 1840, list of Marblehead Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War (compiled in 1912-13 by the author), old log books, old letter books, old newspapers, list of Privateersmen of 1812 made up by Capt. Glover Broughton in a memorial to the 34th, 35th and 36th Congresses asking for grants of land for services rendered, and from the descendants of the men mentioned. This volume is intended to be a fairly accurate list of the Old Sea Captains of Marblehead, and the vessels in which they sailed, going to and from foreign ports. The list of the names of the men is very nearly complete, but the list of the vessels is not as satisfactory, it being at this late date practically impossible to obtain complete information. Of the five hundred men mentioned, but two are alive at this time, Captain John D.
  • The Secession Winter and the Committee of Five

    The Secession Winter and the Committee of Five

    THE SECESSION WINTER AND THE COMMITTEE OF FIVE BY FRm NICKLASON* HE secession winter of 1860-61 posed serious policy prob- XTlems for Republicans. A political dilemma arose from their dual but frequently contradictory obligations as supporters of their political party on the one hand and of the Union on the other. As Republican party members they took a political and often partisan position, criticized President Buchanan, and blamed the Democrats for failing to prevent the secession move- ment. As Unionists they declined to provoke the South, strate- gically recognizing that saving the Union depended less on action than upon moderate, non-coercive, almost moribund inactivity. Consequently, as Republicans they took a principled, "hard" but merely rhetorical position. As Unionists they necessarily fol- lowed a practical, "soft" line of ambivalence and unspoken imitation of Buchanan's policies. And as December passed into the new year the increasingly frightening possibility that south- ern threats might lead to actual war drove Republicans to dampen their rhetoric in favor of quiet, watchful waiting. By March 4 the party was practically immobile. The history of a little-known committee in the secession crisis illustrates these generalizations. By December, 1860, rumors in the North had taken three forms-that southern rebels plotted to capture Washington in January, prevent the electoral college from voting in February, or assassinate Abraham Lincoln in March. Any truth in these conspiratorial rumors required more than the official policy of delay. "Masterly inactivity" was no longer enough. As a result, Republican leaders, taking at least some precautionary action, set up the select House "committee of five" to investigate any possible threat to Union interests.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
