  • A STORY of the WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017
    A STORY OF THE WASHINGTON COUNTY UNORGANIZED TERRITORIES Prepared by John Dudley for Washington County Council of Governments March 2017 The story of the past of any place or people is a history, but this story is so brief and incomplete, I gave the title of “A Story”. Another person could have written quite a different story based on other facts. This story is based on facts collected from various sources and arranged in three ways. Scattered through one will find pictures, mostly old and mostly found in the Alexander- Crawford Historical Society files or with my families’ files. Following this introduction is a series on pictures taken by my great-grandfather, John McAdam Murchie. Next we have a text describing the past by subject. Those subjects are listed at the beginning of that section. The third section is a story told by place. The story of each of the places (32 townships, 3 plantations and a couple of organized towns) is told briefly, but separately. These stories are mostly in phrases and in chronological order. The listed landowners are very incomplete and meant only to give names to the larger picture of ownership from 1783. Maps supplement the stories. This paper is a work in progress and likely never will be complete. I have learned much through the research and writing of this story. I know that some errors must have found their way onto these pages and they are my errors. I know that this story is very incomplete. I hope correction and additions will be made. This is not my story, it is our story and I have made my words available now so they may be used in the Prospective Planning process.

  • Record of the Descendants of William Sumner, of Dorchester, Mass., 1636
    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. http://books.google.com RECORD OK THK DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM SUMNER, OF DORCHESTER, MASS., 1636. BY WILLIAM SUMNER APPLETON. BOSTON: DAVID CI, APP Sc SON, PRINTERS. 1 8 7 9. (RECAP) INTRODUCTION. In i854 was printed, for Gen. William H. Sumner of Roxbury, a "Memoir of Increase Sumner, Governor of Massachusetts," to which was added a " Genealogy of the Sumner Family, by William B. Trask." Some additions were printed in the N. E. Historical and Genealogical Register, for October, i855. Mr. Trask was entirely competent to have prepared a genealogy, which would have made this present volume unnecessary ; but Gen. Sumner was willing only to have very limited researches made, concerning principally the branches most nearly related to his own. The " Genealogy" therefore is exceedingly imperfect, and so misleading as to cause one to sup pose the family a very small one ; and it was in consequence of this mistake that the present writer undertook the work, which has grown in progress to an extent never dreamt of, or it would probably not have been begun. Once under way, however, interest has kept pace with material, and I feel no regret for the time given to the work, or the trouble which has of necessity accompanied it. The family has been a fairly prominent one, though few of its mem bers have gained any special fame. One can however be justly proud of Gov.

The family precedes the state. Love of kindred under- lies true patriotism. Hon. John Alden was one of the principal persons, and the last male survivor of the band of Pilgrims, who came to Plymouth in the May Flower in 1620. With few exceptions, and these mostly of recent date, all persons in this country bearing the name of Alden are his descendents. Of each of these who is at the head of a family, it is the plan of this work to give, as far as the facts are at hand, the name, residence, occupation of males over twenty-one years of age, date of birth, and, if deceased, of death, parentage and social position. Descendents of the common ancestor bearing other names are noticed in connection with the families from which they originated. Families are usually numbered consecutively.
