The town of Scarboro, which was the sixth in the state to have a town organization, was, during' the seventeeth and the early part of the eighteenth centuries, one of the principal business centers of the Province of Maine. This towu is situated in the south-west corner of Cum­ berland County, upon the sea-coast, from which it extends into the interior about eight miles. The “ Beach” in this town is one of the much-resorted-to places on the coast of Maine and affords excellent opportunities for surf-bathing, as well as other attractions incident to life inthecoasttowns during the hot summer months. The sea view is fine here being unobstructed by islands. The general surface of Scarboro is flat, though in the north-western part of the towu the hills rise to a consider­ able elevation. The principal streams of the town are the Dunstan, or New River, the Nonesuch, Libby’s River, and 6 HISTORICAL. the Spurwink, which forms a portion of the southeastern boundary. The town is crossed by both the Eastern and the Western Divisions of the Boston and Maine Railroad, also by the line of electrics from Portland to Biddeford. There are many excellent farms in the town, as well as several summer hotels, and the summer homes of the many who have learned of the excellent advantages the place affords. EARLY SETTLEMENT. Early in the seventeeth century, the coast of Maine became a favorite resort of English fishermen, and it is very- probable that the first white settler to make his home in what is now Scarboro, was one of this class of people. It is not likely that they would have passed by such advantage­ ous places as Black Point Reck or the neighboring islands. Here, too, they' could conveniently meet the Indians, and bargain with them for their furs- There is no doubt but that Stratton’s Island was the first settled portion of the town, settled by John Stratton previous to 1631, as the Island had born that name fora few years previous to that date. The first legal proprietor within the town, was Capt. Thomas Cammock, to whom the Council of Plymouth granted fifteen hundred acres between HISTORICAL. 7 Black Point and Spunvink Rivers. Cammock resided at Black Point, (1636) and with him was one of his beloved friends, Henry Jocelyn. Cammock died in the West Indies, (1643) and left most of his property to his friend. Of the planters who settled around Cammock at this time the following are known : Stephen Lapthorne, Ambrose Boodeu, Robert Jordan; These men possessed but little of this world’s goods, and thus settled on his land as tenants. The next principal settlement within the limits of Scar- boro, was that of Blue Point, in 1636. The grants of land here were made to Thomas Lewis and Capt. Richard Bony- thon. They received this grant on the agreement that they would transport fifty persons within seven years, and settle them upon it. Among those brought over in fulfillment of this agreement, were Richard Foxwell and Henry' Watts. In Foxwell’s writings he often speaks of himself living at Blue Point. Watts deeded, a little later, one half of his land to one Ralph Allison, and in his deed to Allison, Watts styles himself “ of Black Point, alias Scarborough, in the village we call Coekell.” Both of thesemen were prominent in the affairs of the plantation. For af ew years these two were the only settlers at Blue Point. The first to settle near them were: George Deering and Nicholas Edgecomb, who came in 1639, and were joiued the next year by William Smith. Smith, in a deposition affirms that when he came to live at Blue Point in 1640, there were four plantations there; those of Richard Foxwell, Henry Watts, George Deer­ ing, and Nicholas Edgecomb; and that some time after came Hilkiah Bailey, Edward Shaw, and Tristram Alger. 8 HISTORICAL. While those settlers at Black Point may be called successful fisherman, these at Blue Point followed the tilling' of the soil, and were known as prosperous planters. The third principal settlement made in town was at Dunstan about the year 1651, by the brothers Andrew and Arthur Alger. They bought their right to the land of the Indians. Andrew Alger had lived in towu on Stratton’s Island previous to his settlement in this section of the town. The tract of land which they bought of the Indians comprised more than a thousand acres. To this they gave its present name, after their native town in the County of Somersetshire,England. The word at that time wasspelled “Dunster,” but later was changed to Dunston then to Dmis- tan. Here these men built theirhomes, and near them lived their married children. Of these settlements in town, Black Point. Blue Point andDunstau, the one at Black Point increased most rapidly, andsoon became a flourishing seaport. The advantagesfor fishing aud farming, induced many to choose this locality. In 1671, says Henry Jocelyn, there were fifty dwelling houses in the village, where just 38 years previous, Cammock’s house stood alone at Black Point. Few of the descendants of these early inhabitants are now residing in town. The Indian out-breaks exiled many, never to return. Weheregivenamesof a few; Henry Jocelyn, Robert Jordan and Henry Williams settled near what is now known as Scottow’s Hill. (Previous to 1660 this was called “ Jocelyn’s Hill.” Mr. Jocelyn afterwards sold this tract of land to one Joshua Scottow, from whom the Hill derives its HISTORICAL. 9 name.) John Libbey, Christopher Collins, Joseph Phippen, Michael Maddiver, and John Tenney, were early settlers at Black Point. Other early settlers in town were as follows:— Andrew Brown, Samuel Oakman, EliasOakman,Christopher Paige, Giles Roberts, Richard Moore, VVm. Shelden, Nathan Bedtord, James Robinson, John Burrage, Wm. Burrage, Gyles Barge, John Alger, John Palmer, John Austin, Geo. Barlow, Robert Nichols, John Jackson, Jacob Rabskine, John Howell, Ralph Allison, John Griffin, John Hickford, Abraham Follen, Joseph Wiunock, George Taylor, Richard and John Mayre, George Garland, George Knight, Christ­ opher Rig'got, John and James Mills, Wm. Batten, Henry Williams, John Bndizert, Anthony Roe, Janies Mechimore, Henry Booking, George Gregory, Wm. Liscomb, George Bartlett, Thomas Payne, Francis Shullett, Richard Willin, Roger Dcering, Thomas Cleverly, Christopher and Thomas Ellkius, Peter Hinkson, Andrew lleffer, Joseph Oliver, John Start, Robert Elliott, John Samson, John Warwick, Roger Vicars, John Cocke,Christopher and John Fickett, John Mc- Kenny, Edward Fairfield, Robert Tydev, James Ogleby, Duncan Chessom, and Francis White. All of these persons were settled in town previous to 1700. In the years that follow, the town became a prosperous plantation, whose prospects were broken only by the Indian Wars. To such an extent was the town pillaged that the settlements were deserted, the settlers seeking places of greater safety. Not until the Peace of 1699 did the people think of returning The precise date of the second settlement of the town is 10 HISTORICAL. not known, but was probably either in the Fall of 1702, or the following Spring. The first settlers were a little band of seven persons who came from Lynn, in a sloop. They anch­ ored their little vessel in the bay at Black Point, and used it as a shelter by night until they had put up a sufficient garrison on land. These were John Larrabee, Henry Libby, histhreesons, Charles Pine and one Mr. Blood. For at least a year these persons tvere the soul inhabitants living in town, but finally others were induced to join them. In 1719 the number of inhabitants had so increased that it was deemed advisable to organize a town government. Throughout the latter half of the seveuteeth century, Black Point was the centre of influence and prosperity, while Duns- tan was the country. From 1729 to 1700 they were nearly equal in all respects. From 1760 to the present time the chief village has been at Dunstan. In 1701 we have the fol­ lowing statistics of the town—“310 taxable polls. 190 houses, 17 mills, 9 slaves, 297 tons of shipping, 199 horses, 448 oxen, 633 cows, 1067 sheep, 257 swine, 6613 bushels of grain, 907 tons of English hay, 426 tons meadow hay, 1467 tons Salt hay.” In 1791 the number of inhabitants in town was 2235 which was 5 less than Portland had at that time. The following are a few settlers who located in town later than the year 1700:— Jonathan Andrews, John and Nathauiel Babb, Dr. Alvan Bacon, Moses Banks, Joseph Berry, Joseph and Samuel Boothby, Arthur Bragdon, Solo­ mon and Gideon Bragdon, Job Burnam, Joseph Calfe, John Coolbroth, Roger Deariug, Henry Dresser, Robert Elliot, Joseph Emerson, James Fly, Daniel Fogg, Benj.

  • MOG Biography
    Dictionary of Canadian Biography MOG (Heracouansit, Warracansit, Warracunsit, Warrawcuset), a noted warrior, subchief, and orator of the Norridgewock (Caniba) division of the Abenakis, son of Mog, an Abenaki chief killed in 1677; b. c. 1663; killed 12 Aug. 1724 (O.S.) at Norridgewock (Narantsouak; now Old Point in south Madison, Me). In the La Chasse* census of 1708, Mog is listed under the name Heracouansit (in Abenaki, welákwansit, “one with small handsome heels”). During King William’s and Queen Anne’s Wars Mog took part in the numerous raids on English settlements by Abenakis and carried captives and scalps to Quebec. Following the peace of Utrecht in April 1713, Mog, Bomoseen, Moxus, Taxous, and other chiefs concluded a peace with New England at Portsmouth, N.H., on 11– 13 July. The Abenakis pledged allegiance to Anne, though “it is safe to say that they did not know what the words meant” (Parkman). They also admitted the right of the English to land occupied before the war. The English, on their side, promised that the Indians could settle any individual grievances with them in English courts. Mog and the others then sailed with six New England commissioners to Casco Bay, where the treaty and terms of submission were read to 30 chiefs, in the presence of 400 other Abenakis, on 18 July. “Young Mogg” was described as “a man about 50 years, a likely Magestick lookt Man who spake all was Said.” The Abenakis expressed surprise when told that the French had surrendered all the Abenaki lands to the English: “wee wonder how they would give it away without asking us, God having at first placed us there and They having nothing to do to give it away.” Father Sébastien RALE, the Jesuit missionary at Norridgewock, reported a month later that he had convinced the Indians the English were deceiving them with an ambiguous phrase, for England and France still disagreed about the limits of “Acadia.” Apparently the Indians remained disturbed, however, when the English offered to show them the official text of the European treaty in the presence of their missionaries.

  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRIZE ESSAY 1977 The Smuggling Career of William King by Alan S. Taylor One of the most fascinating controversies to emerge from Maine’s role in the War of 1812 is whether William King, the leader of Maine’s Democratic-Republican party and the state’s first governor, illegally traded with the British. Throughout King’s political career, charges were hurled that many of his vessels had operated in violation of the revenue laws. These charges remained unsubstantiated rumors spread by his Federalist political opponents until 1824 when two of his estranged political proteges, Benjamin Ames and Joseph F. Wingate, Jr., anonymously published The Disclosure No. 1: Documents Relating to Violations and Evasions of the Laws During the Commercial Restrictions and Late War With Great Britain, etc., a collection of letters and depositions intended to prove that King and his good friend, Mark Langdon Hill, were indeed guilty of smuggling.

  • The Story Behind the Garcelon Mansion by David C
    Published quarterly by the Lovell Historical Society Volume 17, Number 4 Fall 2010 The Garcelon Family in front of their home on Kezar Lake. Photo donated by David C. Gareelon The Story Behind the Garcelon Mansion By David C. Garcelon At the north end of Kezar Lake sits a magnificent neoclassical style home known as the "Garcelon Mansion". Built for Charles Augustus Garcelon and his family in 1908 and 1909, the house commands magnificent views ofthe White Mountains and is unequalled in the quality of its design. Constructed by Italian craftsmen, the house features maple floors, hand-carved paneling and an elaborate staircase framed by columns. This is the story ofhow this home came to be built. Charles Garcelon was born in Lewiston on November 14, 1842. He was the son of Dr. Alonzo and Ann Augusta (Waldron) Garce10n and the great-great-grandson ofJames and Deliverance (Annis) Garcelon, who were among the first settlers in 1776 of Lewiston Falls, an Indian garrison on the Androscoggin River. The family's imprint on the area exists to this day. The Garcelons were farmers. They were also very much involved in the development ofLewiston and its sUlTounding area. From the time Charles was born in 1842, until he left for the Civil War in 1862, he was at the center of a family which was not only known for having the finest horses, growing the largest cabbages and having the best orchards, but who also started the Lewiston Falls Journal.
