I have the honor to be your obedient servant, JAMES BARBOUR Hon. Andrew Stevenson, Speaker of the House of Representatives. A. Department op War, December 22d, 1826. Sir : The House of Representatives having resolved '*that the Commit- tee of the Whole House be discharged from the further consideration of the bill to authorize the settlement and payment of the claim of the State of Massachusetts for certain services rendered during the late war ; that the same, with the claim of Massachusetts for military services, be referred to [ Doc.

The whole claim, in all its parts, must be prepared. It will then be suhjectcd to the following classihcation : 1st. Embracing oil the iten.s not warranted by the principles of adjust- ment adopted in se''ling similar claims made by other States. 2d. AH the items embraced by such principlss. ih\. Subdivide this clissitiettion by noticing what portion resulted from calls made by the Executive of Massachusetts, and those by Militia officers, without the sanction of the Executive; and note whether the calls made by the Executive of Massachusetts were spontaneous, or made in compliance with calls made by the Executive of the United States ; and in either case, whether he consented or refused to subject them to the authority of the Government of the United Slates; adding, in every case of the calls, the circumstances, as far as they can be ascertained by the documents leading thereto. As this claim has already in part been investigated by the Third Auditor, and some progress made in ascertaining the amount of this claim, so much thereof as is applicable to the duties now enjoined may be considered as performed. I have the honor, &c. JAMES BARBOUR Peti;r Hagner, Esq. Third Jluditor. B. Treasury Department, T'hird Jluditor''s Office, 30/A January j lSi38. Sir : I have the honor, in relation to the claim of the State of Massachu- setts, to inform you, that, agreeably to the directions contained in your let- ter to me of the 22d December, 182G, reciting a resolution on the subject, passed by the House of Representatives, the claim has been examined, and, as nearly as it has been found practicable, classified conformably to those directions, and I now send you statements exhibiting the result, marked A, B, C', D, E, F, and G, and also a synopsis of the whole claim, marked H. These statements severally show, as well as could be derived from the vouchers, the aggregate of the charges, in I'espect of each particular call of the Militia into service, and by whom, or under what authority, the same was made ; and the documents explaining at whose instance ever)' such call took place, and the circumstances occasioning it, are therein either full}' set forth, or the purport of them related. 4 [ Doc. No. 3. ] General remarks, in relation to the deductions enumerated in the state- ments, are appended to the synopsis; and lest particular explanation con- cerning them may be deemed necessar}', the rough notes in detail, made on the examination of the vouchers, and contained in books numbered from 1 to 12 inclusive, are herewith transmitted. These should be return- ed to this office, when done with, there being no copies thereof, nor any other means of supplying their places than could be obtained by a rc-exam- ination of those very numerous vouchers. The immensity of the labor attending the investigation of the claim, and its preparation in the mode required, may in some degree be judged of from the^e notes; but they con- convey a very imperfect idea of the time necessarily occupied in collect- ing, from such an extensive mass of items, those applicable to each distinct call, especially in the scattered state in which these were, and in dissecting, as had to be done in numerous instances, a voucher into a variety of parts. I notice this, to account for the apparent great length of the period this busi- ness has been on hand. With great respect, Your most obedient servant, PETER HAGNER, .auditor. Hon. James Barbour, Secretary of War. ( A. ) GUARDS. %.

Heritage landscapes are places that are created by human interaction with the natural environment. They are dynamic and evolving; they reflect the history of the community and provide a sense of place; they show the natural ecology that influenced land use patterns; and they often have scenic qualities. This wealth of landscapes is central to each community’s character; yet heritage landscapes are vulnerable and ever changing. For this reason it is important to take the first steps towards their preservation by identifying those landscapes that are particularly valued by the community – a favorite local farm, a distinctive neighborhood or mill village, a unique natural feature, an inland river corridor or the rocky coast. To this end, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the Essex National Heritage Commission (ENHC) have collaborated to bring the Heritage Landscape Inventory program (HLI) to communities in Essex County.

  • A Record of the Services of the Commissioned Officers and Enlisted
    6-F : A RECORD OF THE SERVICES COMMISSIONED OFFICEKS AND ENLISTED MEN KITTERY AND ELIOT. MAINE, Who served their Country on land and sea in the American Revolution, from 1775 to 1783. BOSTON Alfred Mddge & Son, Printers, 24 Franklin Street. A^Jt.T mo i. Cheeked dCLIBP. 4 OR, LENOX AND EN FOUNDATIONS. L To the Men of Kittery who gave their lives on land and sea, in battle or in prison, from 1775 to 1783, that this country might be free, and that their example may speak to com- ing generations, this volume is respectfully inscribed. By Lieut. OLIVER P. REMICK, Engineer Corps, U. S. Revenue Cutter Service. Member of the Maine Historical Society and the Maine Genealogical Society. PREFACE. Kittery, at the commencement of the war for Independence, was composed of the present towns of Kittery and Eliot, and this record takes in the soldiers and sailors of both towns ; but Eliot's soldiers are not mentioned as such in their individual records, but one can tell by the parish or militia company residence of the man, in which town as now constituted he lived ; whenever the word "town" occurs in the following pages, it refers to and means the old town of Kittery as it was in 1775. The town at that time was divided into three parishes, viz., first, or lower ; second, or upper ; and third, or middle. The first parish was that part of the town south of a line, commencing at Ports- mouth Ferry, near the old Rice House, and running north fifty-four degrees east, to the town of York.

  • Neighborhood Overviews
    NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEWS (Sources: The following text is largely quoted from Leslie Donovan and Kim Withers Brengle, “A Preservation Plan for the City of Gloucester, Massachusetts,” 1990. Supplemental information was added from the Gloucester Development Team’s Land Marks; Architecture and Preservation in Gloucester, 1979; an unpublished manuscript, “Artists’ Communities in Gloucester, 1750-1948,” by Wendy Frontiero, 1998; and comments from the Gloucester Archives Committee.) CENTRAL GLOUCESTER Central Gloucester is roughly bounded by the Inner Harbor, the Annisquam River, and Route 128. This commercial and civic center of the City of Gloucester, located west of the inner harbor, is the nucleus of the Central Gloucester neighborhood and the City. The central business district runs along Main and Rogers Streets and is characterized by two- to four-story masonry structures. Immediately to the west is the civic center, which is composed of the City’s public buildings, by far the largest group of substantial buildings in Gloucester. The greatest concentration of industrial buildings is also found in Central Gloucester, located along the waterfront, near the commercial areas, and along Maplewood Avenue. Central Gloucester is extremely densely developed compared to the rest of Gloucester. Residential buildings are typically single-family and multi-family structures of wood-frame construction. A fishing colony established by the Dorchester Company at Stage Fort lasted only from 1623- 1626. It was not until the late 1630s that Cape Ann attracted a large enough number of permanent settlers to warrant incorporation as a town in 1642 under the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The name of the new town may have come from the recent birth of a new Duke of Gloucester.

  • Microfilm Publication M617, Returns from U.S
    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • Fort Sewall History and Research Project
    Grants Fund Historical Research in 2020 th for 375 Anniversary of Fort Sewall in 2019 Established in 1644, 375 years ago, Marblehead’s Fort Sewall is beloved for its spectacular views over Marblehead Harbor and beyond. But, it is also rare and important as one of only a very few early coastal defensive earthwork forts from the 1600s still existing on the North American continent. This summer, preservation and site renovations to improve visitor accessibility are well underway. Approved by town-wide vote last year, the work is managed by McGinley Kalsow & Associates Inc., and is overseen by the Town’s Fort Sewall Oversight Committee. In addition to the voter-approved funding for the improvements, the preservation work is supported by $210,000 in grant awards from state agencies (the Massachusetts Cultural Council through its Cultural Facilities Fund and MassDevelopment, as well as the Massachusetts Historical Commission through its Preservation Projects Fund) as well as by generous individual donations. The donations will also support a summer Fort Ranger docent program and an endowment for ongoing fort maintenance. The Fort Sewall Oversight Committee is also pleased to announce that three grants totaling nearly $10,000 for historical research and education about the fort were awarded this year by two phil- anthropic historical organizations: the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati and the Massachusetts Society of Colonial Wars (with a match from the parent organization, the General Society of C. Wars). The research will result in a comprehensive report about the fort’s evolution over nearly three centuries, from its establishment in 1644 until 1922, when national U.S.
