That plan was last updated in 2006. In 2018, this Comprehensive Plan Committee started our work on what was expected to be a simple update of the 2006 plan. Once we completed our update of the inventory sections of this plan and public meetings, we had identified several issues with our current plan that we felt needed to be addressed. As we completed our rewrite of this plan, we found that the State had established new criteria they would be using to determine consistency with the goals and guidelines of the Growth Management Act. This plan was completed by a committee of eleven Town citizens with support from the Town Manager and a secretary. While the Town did vote to provide funding for this work, the dollar amount provided was determined by the committee to be insufficient to hire a consultant to help with this plan update. We also felt that it would be a simple update that we could complete without help. After two years of work, this committee believes this update is complete and will comply with the goals and guidelines of the Growth Management Act. This update to the Comprehensive Plan, should serve as a new guide for the community and town officials as they make decisions about the future of Turner. The Plan suggests general directions, recognizing that specific details will require further efforts. The Plan should be considered a living document, meaning that it will require review and revisions as Turner changes over time. In some areas, we have suggested updating or monitoring to be an annual consideration. At a minimum, the Town should consider a new update in 2030, or before that time if significant growth or changes in the community are noticed. The Plan is, however, intended to guide future changes in the Town’s land use regulations so that they will reflect the goals and polices of this Plan. Similarly, the discussions of capital needs and spending priorities are intended as general guides, not specific proposals. The cornerstone or most important elements of the Comprehensive Plan are the policies and strategies which the community adopts. They represent the directions the community will take to address issues identified in the Inventory and Analysis element of the plan. Policies are statements of direction the community desires to take, and strategies define specific actions the Town should undertake in order to carry out the directions contained in the policies. Strategies or actions to carry out the plan have been identified as short-, mid- or long-term. This refers to the time frame that the plan recommends actions to occur. Short-term actions should occur within one to two years of plan adoption, mid-term three to five years from plan adoption and long-term six to ten years from plan adoption. Those that should be responsible for undertaking the strategies are also identified. The Turner Comprehensive Plan Committee has thoroughly considered each and every one of the policies and strategies and assessed its implications during the updating of the plan first adopted in 1991. In addition, it relied heavily on what the citizens of Turner told the committee in the Citizen’s Survey and the Public Hearings conducted in 2018 in several public sessions. Although, in not all instances did the committee unanimously agree; it is the position of the committee that the following presents a realistic direction for Turner in the third decade of the 21st Century. -Turner Comprehensive Plan Update- 4 Public Process The committee prepared a community survey to gather input on a number of issues, similar to surveys done

Lohnes During the last year of the War of 1812 the British launched an invasion of the Maine District of Massachusetts, capturing a large salient between the Penobscot River and the New Brunswick border. Few historians have appraised adequately the inability of the national and state governments to defend the region of eastern New England, nor have they researched carefully the British motivations behind the assault. Only through a closer look at the defensive errors of the Americans is it possible to realize that the British victory, though a tactical success, was a strategic failure.

  • Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, Vol. 2
    ^7<y,/ kSLct f>1>ï /933 To the binder: these 2 leaves, pp.vil-x are throw-outs in the final binding: GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY of MAINE and NEW HAMPSHIRE PART II THE SOUTHWORTH PRESS PORTLAND, MAINE 1933 PREFACE TO PART II Although over four years have passed, the promise made in the Preface to Part I, that before Part II should go to press, all of my materials would have been thoroughly worked over for the whole book, is ixnkept. Not only have my minutes from so many years among the records not been fidly uti­ lized, but people who have studied certain families will often find that au­ thentic matter in print has escaped notice. Genealogists trained to library work will turn to many such omissions. Yet I do, to console myself, hold to the belief that James Savage himself, had he -in our day- thought of writing his Genealogical Dictionary, would have abandoned it almost before start­ ing. As it was, he exhausted every printed book from cover to cover (often led into errors thereby). Today such books have multiplied more than a hundred fold. In the interim between Parts I and II, books have gotten into print which fill me with dismay, and worse— books -flung- into print, reckless of errors; and some of these by a genealogist of high reputation. Is there not now enough of such material on the library shelves without increasing it 1 More to the point, shall I add to it? Personally I have reached a conviction that we have arrived at a stage where the desideratum is not the multiplication of genealogical books, nor even the extension of research, but the rescuing of genealogy itself from being brought into public contempt by reckless graspers after high ancestry and their exploiters.

Its rich lodes have produced a wealth of American legend and tradition extending back more than 300 years. The picturesque Saco River starts in North Central New Hampshire and winds southeasterly. It passes near Fryeburg, Maine, a beautiful resort area today, but where in 1725, Indians brought to a disastrous end Lovewell's expedition against them. Robert E. Peary, the famous Arctic explorer, li ved in Fryeburg as a boy and surveyed in the area. Saco, i\Iaine, is equally famous. Located at the falls of the Saco River, opposite Biddeford, it was settled in 1631. A legislative and judicial "court." the first in :\Iaine, was held in Saco in 1640. Saco suffered Indian raids in the 17th and 18th centuries, raids and massacres vividly described by G. T. Ridlon, Sr., author of the monumental work, Saco Valley Settlements and Families.

William WALLS, son of Mr WALLS and Miss EELS, was born about 1784 in , , NH and died 20 Apr 1833 in North Searsmont, Waldo, ME. Jackson VR lists this entire family in a family register.

Bristol Marriages performed by William McIntyre, Esq has: Mar. 14, 1805, William Wallis and Sarah Carter. Either a typo or the name really was Wallis in previous generations. William gave 2 children a middle name of "Eels", so I have made the assumption that could be his mother's maiden name.

This we cannot help and therefore we must console ourselves with the good price of wheat which it will bring us. Since it is so decreed by fate, we only have to pray that their soldiers may eat a great deal.” —Thomas Jefferson In 1820 Maine severed its relationship to Massachusetts and became a separate state. As one of its first acts, Maine’s newly installed state legislature ordered that an agricultural census be conducted, in order to determine the extent of the fledgling state's taxable wealth. Oddly, the results revealed two, regionally bifurcated cropping patterns — patterns that hinted at the existence of two Maines.
