District of Maine: Henry Dearborn District of Maine: Henry Dearborn Among the appointees was a 38-year-old veteran, who played a central role in both the American Revolution and the early years of the nation. Born on February 23, 1751, in North Hampton, NH, Henry Dearborn began his career as a doctor. However, when the news of the battles of Lexington and Concord reached him, Dearborn quickly raised a militia unit and proceeded to the outskirts of Boston, MA.8 Beginning with the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, Dearborn participated in some the most critical battles of the American Revolution and ended the war with the rank of colonel. At the Portrait of Henry Dearborn conclusion of the war, Dearborn 1796-97 moved to Maine, where he Courtesy of Independence continued to build upon his National Historical Park military achievements and ingratiate himself with the local community.9 By the fall of 1789, he was a major general in the local militia and President Washington’s appointee as Maine’s first U.S. marshal. With his appointment as a U.S. marshal, President Washington charged Dearborn with leading the enumeration On this map of New England from of the District of Maine for the 1790 Census. Unlike some of 1776, Maine is known as the “Eastern the other 1790 census returns, Dearborn’s 1790 returns do Part of Massachusetts”. Maine would not become a state, until March 15, not provide a clear date for when he and his deputies 1820. completed their enumeration of Maine’s population.10 Courtesy of the Library of Congress Dearborn personally counted the population of 23 towns in three different countries. Based on the extant 1790 Census schedules, it appears as through Dearborn was the only U.S. marshal to emphasize his personal role as both the primary overseer and an enumerator of the 1790 Census as he was the only one who noted in the final report which counties he personally enumerated.11 8 “History - The First Generation of United States Marshals/The First Marshal of Maine: Henry Dearborn,” U.S. marshals Service, last estimated release October 11, 2019, https://www.usmarshals.gov/history/firstmarshals/dearborn.htm.

Although they did not share any borders, Maine was still considered a part of Massachusetts and did not attain statehood until the Missouri Compromise in 1820. Therefore, the 96,540 people counted in the 1790 Census went towards Massachusetts’ total for apportionment. Today, Maine is still the fourth largest state in New England with a total population of 1,338,404 people.12 13 After the census, Dearborn continued serving as a U.S. marshal for three more years, and as a public servant for another three decades. During that time, Dearborn served as a U.S. Representative for Massachusetts (1793-1797), President Thomas Jefferson’s Secretary of War (1801-1809), the commanding American general in the northeastern theater of the War of 1812 (January 27, 1812- July 6, 1813), and the United States’ Minister to Portugal (1822-1824).14 15 Ultimately, Dearborn permanently retired from a life of public service in 1824 and spent the rest of his life at his home in Roxbury, MA, where he died on June 6, 1829.16 Today, Dearborn, MI, named in Henry Dearborn’s honor, is the ninth largest city in Michigan with a population of 94,333 people.17 A copy of a 1790 Census schedule with Henry Dearborn’s name at the bottom.

  • POLICY of MAINE, 1620-1820 by MARGARET FOWLES WILDE a THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree
    HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 By MARGARET FOWLES WILDE % A., University of Maine, 1932 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History and Government) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono May, 1940 ABSTRACT HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 There have been many accounts of individual settlements in Maine and a few histories of the State, but no one has ever attempted a history of its land policy or analyzed the effect that such a policy or lack of policy might have had on the development of the State of Maine. Maine was one of the earliest sections of the Atlantic Coast 'to be explored but one of the slowest in development. The latter may have been due to a number of factors but undoubtedly the lack of a definite, well developed land policy had much to do with the slow progress of settlement and development of this area. The years 1602 to 1620 marked the beginnings of explorations along the Maine Coast principally by the English and French. In 1603, Henry IV of France granted all the American territory between the fortieth and forty-six degrees north latitude to Pierre de Gast Sieure de Monts. This territory was called Acadia. Soon after, in 1606 King James I of England granted all the lands between the thirty-fourth and forty-fifth degrees north latitude to an association of noblemen of London and Plymouth. Later, King James I of England granted all the lands from the fortieth to the forty-eighth degrees of north latitude to a company called ’’Council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon; for planting, ruling, and governing New England in America.” This company functioned from 1620-1635.

  • Few Americans in the 1790S Would Have Predicted That the Subject Of
    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

  • Research Report on the 1876 Removal of Article X, Section 5 from Printed Copies of the Maine Constitution
    January 11, 2021 Research Report on the 1876 Removal of Article X, Section 5 from Printed Copies of the Maine Constitution By Judson Esty-Kendall* and Rachel T. Hampson** I. Introduction and Synopsis The purpose of this Report is to explain from a legal perspective, and to the extent possible in light of the century and a half that has since passed, how and why the Maine Constitution was amended in 1876 to remove from printed copies of that Constitution, but not from the Constitution itself, the original language directing Maine to assume “the duties and obligations of this Commonwealth, towards the Indians within said District of Maine.” 1 Maine separated from Massachusetts in 1820 and became a state as part of the Missouri Compromise. The process of becoming a state first required legislation by Massachusetts, called the Articles of Separation, 2 followed by a vote of the people of Maine to approve separation, and finally approval by the federal government. For Maine’s purposes, once the people had voted in favor of separation, Maine required a constitution, which in turn also had to be approved by vote of the people. Article X of the 1820 Constitution had 6 sections. A portion of Article X, Section 5 reads as follows: The new State shall, as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made for that purpose, assume and perform all the duties and obligations of this Commonwealth, towards the Indians within said District of Maine, whether the same arise from treaties, or otherwise; and for this purpose shall obtain the assent of said Indians, and their release to this Commonwealth of claims and stipulations arising under the treaty at present existing between the said Commonwealth and said Indians .
