HISTORY OF
Lincolnville, Northport, Belmont, Morrill, Searsmont and Waldo
INTRODUCTION. The group of towns included in this work are located in
the southeastern portion of the county of Waldo, adjacent to the city of Belfast.
The region in which they lie is, for the most part hilly and broken, rimmed by low-lying mountains which extend almost to the waters of Penobscot Bay. Portions of the mountain chain extending across the country separate the land into valleys and small plateaus which afford much excellent land for agriculture, the occupation in which most of the inhabitants are engaged.
Combining the attractions of seashore and mountain, and abounding in beautiful lakes and streams, this section presents manifold attractions to every lover of the beautiful.
These towns are closely connected both from an historical and from a geographical point of view and have a common origin. All of the territory now included in these towns formed part of the Muscongus Patent, later known as the "Lincolnshire", and finally the "Waldo Patent", a subord-
10 INTRODUCTION
inate land grant that the Plymouth Council, which held the great charter for New England, portioned out in Maine.
This charter was originally granted in 1620, by King James I of England, to forty noblemen, knights and gentlemen, and these men, the "Plymouth Council", before surrendering their charter, made several grants of land within the territory of Maine, of which the Waldo Patent was one. Most of this great tract of land afterward came into the possession of General Samuel Waldo who acquired part as a reward for services rendered the former owners, and part by purchase. It was for him that the tract was named.
General Henry Knox acquired the estate in 1792, but six years later, on account of financial difficulties, was compelled to mortgage the portion comprised within these towns to his friends, General Lincoln and Colonel Jackson.
This mortgage was in 1812 assigned to Messrs. Israel Thorndike, David Sears and Wm. Prescott of Boston. Belmont afterwards became the property of Samuel Parkman and Benj. Joy of the same city.
With increase in number of inhabitants the settlements were formed into plantations and finally into the towns of today.
More than one and a quarter centuries have passed since the first settlement was made in this section and the changes that have come with the years are very great. The trails marked by spotted trees have given way to excellent roads and drives, the little clearings of the settlers have been replaced by well tilled farms, broad meadow lands and villages, and on the seashore where once stood a few scattered log
INTRODUCTION 11
huts of hardy fishermen, there are cosy cottages and beautiful summer residences overlooking the bay.
The men of today have little realization either of the hardships or of the enjoyments of their forefathers. Of the environments and surroundings ol the pioneers in this section but little trace remains.
Only tradition, a few records and the moss grown gravestones in the church yards remain to remind us of the men who came into the unbroken wilderness and made the beginnings of these towns—only these and the enduring hills and waters of the bay. But sometimes on a calm summer evening as the night wind rustles softl3T the trees on the cliffs and the wavelets swish on the sands of the shore, they seem to bring a message, the story perhaps of the ambitions and inspirations of our fathers, of their hardships, their courage and their perseverance, and it may be of the fulfillment and the reward.

EARLY SETTLEMENT.
The town of Lincolnville was incorporated by act of the Massachusetts Legislature, June 23, 1802, the 137th to pass under the incorporation laws. Prior to that time it had been included in the plantations of Ducktrap and Canaan and was first settled by Nathan Knight, who came to the wilderness from Castine in 1770, and made a beginning the same year.
In 1790 there were 190 inhabitants in the settlement. The first children born were Nathan Knight, Jr., and Hope Miller, the former in 1776, the latter in 1779.
The first marriage intentions recorded on the clerk's books after Lincolnville's incorporation were those of Joseph Sherman, Jr., of Camden, and Sally Kidder of this town, May 16,1806.
The first man buried in the settlement was one Carver, a shipwrecked sailor, who having crossed Ducktrap Stream and lost his way heard the sound of an axe in the wilderness and following in the direction of it, came upon the Knight clearing. In his weakened, iamished condition Carver was indiscrete and ate more than his system could stand with the result that he died and was buried at the lower end of the Knight farm.
HISTORICAL 13
Brief sketches of the early settlers are as follows: Nathan Knight, son of Westbrook and Abigail Knight,
was born in Scarborough, Feb. 23, 1739. He married Lydia, daughter of Wm. and Sarah Chamberlain, of Rye, N. H., and settled in Lincolnville in 1770. He took up the land now owned by Arno W. Knight, his great grandson, and cleared it. This was the first farm settled in town and Mr. Knight was the first permanent settler.
He had two children, Nathan and Martha. The former was born Nov. 4, 1776, and was the first white child born in Lincolnville.
Nathaniel and Thomas Knight, brothers of Nathan, settled here soon after his arrival. Thomas Knight erected a two story house on what is now the Wentworth place.
John Knight, a nephew of Nathan, Sr., married Betsey Drinkwater, of Northport, and settled on the meadow of the E. A. Heal farm.
The Knight family has always been prominent in Lincolnville and has taken a leading part in town affairs. Probably all those of that name now residing in town are descendants of the first settlers.
John Studley,of Hingham, Mass., married Dorcas Smith, of Nobleboro, and was one of the earliest settlers here. Nine of his children were born in this place, John, the oldest, in 1790.
Samuel Studley was a resident here in 1797-8. Geo. Ulmer, son of Jacob and Christianna Ulmer, was
born in Waldoboro, February 25,1756. He was of German descent, his parents being of the party of immigrants from
14 LINCOLNVILLE
that country, who under the inducement of General Waldo settled in Waldoboro.
He was a soldier of the Revolution and came to Duck-trap at the close of the war taking up land at the Trap. He served as representative and senator in the Massachusetts General Court and was appointed by the Legislature Major-General of the Tenth Division of Militia.
He married Polly, daughter of Gideon and Polly Tanner, of Newport, R. I., and had two children, Mary and Susanna. The latter was drowned in Ducktrap River. General Ulmer died a t the age of seventy years.
Major Philip Ulmer, an older brother, was born in Waldoboro, Dec. 15, 1751. He married Christianna Young, of Waldoboro, and six of their children were born in this town. He died Oct. 3, 1816, at the age of 65.
Jacob Ulmer, the son of Philip, was born in Waldoboro, Dec. 30, 1778. He married Eleanor, daughter of Joseph and Phebe Thomas, of Lincolnville, and had four children. He was the first town clerk of Lincolnville.
The Ulmers were among the most prominent and influential citizens of Lincolnville in the early days of the settlement. Many of their descendants are residents of this part of Maine but the name is no longer found in the town to whose prosperity and welfare they contributed so much.
Joseph Thomas settled on the south side of Thomas Pond in 1773. His sons, Philip born in Lincolnville in 1789, and James born here in 1796, divided the farm and continued to reside there.
Hushai Thomas, a native of Meduncook, settled in the
HISTORICAL 15
plantation a little later. Noah Miller, son of Samuel and Hope Miller, of Hope
well, N. J., married Mary Hills of the same state, and after residing in his native town and in Nova Scotia, came to Lincolnville and settled about 1777 or 8. Ephraim, Samuel, Noah, Jr., and Israel, his sons, came with him. His daughter, Hope, was born here, April 30, 1779. These men are the ancestors of the present generation.
Zephaniah Decrow, of Marshfield, Mass., came with his wife, Jane, and his sons, Daniel, Peleg and Isaac, to Lincoln-ville about the time of or shortly after the Revolutionary War.
John Decrow, son of Seth and Elizabeth Decrow, also a native of Marshfield came probably about the same time.
Samuel Spaulden, of Georgetown, William Parkman, of Ashby, Mass., Ephraim Sheldon, a native of Cape Ann, Mass., Adam Rogers, of Marshfield, Mass., Joseph Prescott, of Epping, N. H., John Wade of Scituate, Mass., who came prior to 1792, Thomas Spring who settled before 1793, John Gordon, Raymond, N. H., Elijah Gill, Stoughton, Mass, Samuel Bussy, of Bath, Elisha Johnson, Sanbornton, N. H., Samuel McCurdy, Bristol, Wm. Stone, Cape Porpoise, who married Margaret McFarland, of Bristol, and settled before 1797, Samuel Bullock, Salem, Samuel Hillman and Wm. Matthews, ol Marblehead, who came prior to 1794, were all early settlers in town.
The Colimers (spelled also Collamore and Collimore) were among the early comers into the plantation. Joseph, son of Peter, was born in Scituate, Mass., in 1762, married
16 LINCOLNVILLE
Elizabeth Wyman, of Salem, and settled in Canaan prior to 1794. The names of Isaac Collamore and Jos. Collimore appear on a list of settlers in Northport and Lincolnville in 1793.
James Mahoney, son of James and Abigail, was born at Edgecomb in 1773. He married Martha Berry and settled in the plantation probably earlier than 1796. A Captain James Mahoney was one of the earliest settlers in the vicinity of Searsmont, and it is not unlikely that it was he or his father, James Sr. There are many residents of the name in Searsmont but only a few families are found in Lincolnville.
Joshua Lamb came with his family to Lincolnville in the early days of the settlement and took up his residence in the upper part of the town. He came probably from Nova Scotia where his children, Joshua Jr., Sarah, who married Wm. Calderwood, and John were born. His daughter Mary was born in this town and married Samuel Jewell. The Lambs came probably in 1777 or 78. Joshua Lamb built the Free Baptist meeting house in 1821.
Lowell Lang, of Hampton, N. H., and Lewis Robbins settled near the Belmont line at the foot of the mountain. The Robbins farm is now owned by the latter's grandson, Horace Robbins.
Sedate Wadsworth came probably from Camden and settled in the vicinity of Youngtown, his land extending along the slope of the mountain and as far north as the Youngtown school house. After building a temporary dwelling house he constructed one of brick. Mr. Wadsworth had two sons, Abiah and Sedate, who settled with him. The
HISTORICAL 17
Wadsworths came prior to 1798. In 1826 a 49 ton schooner was constructed on the farm on the slope of Megunticook mountain, and hauled across the pond to Camden where she was launched into the bay.
Moses, Gideon, Elijah and Stephen Young were among the very earliest settlers in Lincolnville. Moses was born in Damariscotta in 1764, his three younger brothers in Bristol. The Youngs came to Youngtown May 1, 1777. Moses married Betsey Grace, of Boston; Gideon, Phebe Wadsworth, Elijah, Deborah Heal and Stephen, Elizabeth Heal.
Abner, Isaac, John and Chesley, sons of Peter and Deborah Heal, came to Canaan probably from Georgetown or Edgecomb about the close of the Revolution and settled near the Youngs at Youngtown. Abner was a member of the first board of selectmen and subsequently filled many town offices, taking a prominent part in town affairs. Isaac settled on the Drake farm at the Four Corners.
The Smiths were early settlers in town and Ben and Thomas a t least were in this section in 1793. Asa Smith was here more than a hundred years ago. It is probable that they settled on Smith's Neck, or Fernald Neck as it is now called, and sold their holdings to Nathaniel Fernald about 1810. The latter, tradition has it, drove the first loaded wagon over the Turnpike. The Fernalds took a leading part in town affairs. Timothy, Nathaniel's son, built a fishing vessel of 28 tons on Fernald's Neck.
The Frenchs were early settlers also and took up their residence on the shore near Duck Trap. Hezekiah, son ot Ebenezer and Rebecca, was born in Belerica in 1773. He
18 LINCOLNVILLE
married Eunice Rogers, of Westfield, and settled here probably earlier than 1800.
Daniel Batchelder, of Bath, Heatherly Foster, of Scitu-ate, Mass., Silas Varney, oi Rochester, N. H., Philip Silvester, of Randolph, Mass., and Wm. Adams, of Londonderry, N. H., were settlers here more than a hundred years ago.
Simon Cox, of Bristol, was an early settler here as was David Cross who came from Exeter, N. H.
Charles Matthews was a native of Plainfield, Mass. His wife was Mary Higgins, of Bath. Elisha Parker, of Lincoln, Samuel Sewell, of Marshbay, and John Budd, of White Plains, N. Y., came in the early days of the town.
Joseph Gould, of Bath, married Hope Miller, of Lincoln-ville, and settled here before 1797. Isaac Carter was a settler here in 1793. Edward Carter settled in this vicinity also.
John and Wm. Calderwood, of Waldoboro, were among the earliest settlers here. John came prior to 1785, and probably Wm. came about the same time. The latter took up land in the vicinity of Pitcher Pond. He lost his life by being thrown from his horse while crossing Ducktrap bridge, Jan. 4, 1807. His widow married Thomas McKinney.
Wm. Moody, one of the family of that name which settled in Old York, came to Canaan not long after the arrival of the earliest settlers. Robert, his oldest son, was born here in 1788, James, his youngest, in 1806. He had nine children, eight of them sons.
Martin Brooks, born in Weston in 1740, married Mary Hoar, of Springfield, Mass., and after residing sometime in Nova Scotia, where his sons, David, Caleb and Solomon
HISTORICAL 19
were born, came to Lincolnville shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War. His son John was born here in 1785. Mr. Brooks settled probably on the shore road, Aug. 4,1783.
David Gay, born probably in Stoughton, in 1764, and Ephraim Gay, who was evidently David's younger brother, though born in Nova Scotia in 1767, settled near the Brooks family on the shore road. The namesof both these men and tha t of David Jr., appear on a list of settlers in Ducktrap in 1793.
Abner Milliken was a leading man in the early days of the town. He was a native of Scarboro and came to reside in Lincolnville about the close of the Revolutionary War.
Lieut. John Norton, a soldier of the Revolution, settled at the head of Norton Pond prior to 1798. He came with his wife, Sarah, from Edgecomb probably, for it was in that town tha t his son Samuel was born in 1783. Lieut. Norton built his dwelling house in 1806. John, his son, was in the service in the War of 1812.
Moses Dunbar was here in 1793, William in 1797-8 and Richard was also an early resident. Joseph Dean was one of those who signed the Knox agreement in 1797-8.
Samuel A. Whitney, of Concord, Mass., came about the time of the incorporation of the town and was very prominent in town affairs.
Paul H. Stevens settled on the Orlando Stevens place. He too held town offices for many years.
David Reardon, of Georgetown, came before 1796, Elijah Wentworth, of Stoughton, Mass., in 1802.
Jonathan and Joseph Richards, 2d, sons of Doddefer
20 LINCOLNYILLE
and Sarah, were settlers in Canaan, in 1793. James Higgins, of Georgetown, Nathaniel Palmer, of
Scituate, Charles Dawes, of Worcester, Noah Mason, of Mendham, John Wilson, of England, who married Mary Ulmer, Josiah Stetson, of Randolph, Simeon Morse, Timothy Dunton, of Edgecomb, and Timothy Fletcher, of Acton, were settlers in Lincolnville before the year 1810.
The Marriners, Naler, Jonathan and Philip, took up adjoining land in the upper part of the town. Wm. Hunt came from Plymouth and settled prior to 1794. Ephraim Hunt settled in this section also, while others of the same name, Martin and Seth, took up land in what is now Belmont close to the Lincolnville line. Wm.died Nov. 15,3 805.
Egnatius Jordan, a soldier of the Revolution, settled either in Lincolnville or in Belmont, near the town line.
The Towers, originally from Hingham, were early settlers also. Malachai was a soldier of the Revolution and came to Lincolnville with his son, Peter, in the first days of the town. He is the ancestor of those of that name who reside in Lincolnville and Belmont.
Tranter Crooker, of Marshfield, was here in 1790 probably. The Deans were early settlers also.
Later comers were Jesse and Jacob Coombs, of Islesboro, Joseph Berry, Bath, Jacob Adams, Union, Wm. Ludwig, Waldoboro, Allen Brackett, Vassalboro, Kingsbury, Samuel and John Duncan, John Howe and Robert McGilvary.

INDUSTRIES. Many years ago the quarryingof limestone was begun in
Lincolnville; several kilns were built and the burning of lime was carried on for several years, the work affording employment for many people. The industry was continued successfully for some time, but on account of the distance to a place of shipment it was not possible to compete successfully with the seaport towns, and the quarries and kilns were abandoned.
Another industry, the cutting of paving stones, was begun and carried on successfully for a while, but this too like the lime burning enterprise finally was discontinued.
The granite property near Youngtown was first owned aDd operated by E. H. Fernald. At his death the heirs acquired the property and carried on the enterprise under the name of the E. H. Fernald Granite Co. The quarry was sold to the Bodwell Granite Co. in 1906. Joel W. Fernald is the manager of the property and is in charge of the work.
Ship building was once an important industry in this town and several important vessels were built here.
Samuel Whitney, Esq,, built the first ship in Lincolnville at Duck Trap about 1825. The vessel was a three masted, square rigged ship and was named the "Samuel and John"
In 1826 a 49-ton schooner was constructed on the Wads-worth farm, on the slope of Megunticook Mountain, and hauled to Camden to be launched.
Timothy Fernald constructed a fisherman of 28-tons on
HISTORICAL 29
Fernalds Neck in the early days of the town. Israel Decrow and Austin Knight were leading builders.
They constructed a three masted ship at the Beach and built many schooners and smaller craft.
The St. Luca, a two masted schooner, was built by Capt. Gould at the Beach about 1840. Many other vessels were built a t the same place prior to the Rebellion.
The Arthur Burton was probably the last important vessel built in Lincolnville.
EDUCATIONAL ITEMS.
At the second town meeting of the inhabitants of Lincolnville, held October 4, 1802, it was voted that $120 be raised for the support of schools for six months. This was the first appropriation made for educational purposes in the new town.
In 1803 it was voted to erect three school houses and the places appointed for this purpose by the selectmen were accepted by the town. There were seven school districts in town that year. The next year $400 was raised for the support of schools for the ensuing year, and the same appropriation was made in 1805. In 1806 the school districts numbered nine.
The school appropriations were increased year by year as occasion demanded. The appropriation was $600 in 1820; $800 in 1835; $820 in 1850.
30 LINCOLN VILLE
In 1840 there were fifteen school districts in Lincolnville; in 1880, seventeen.
At the town meeting in 1876 it was voted to raise $150 for the support of a high school, one-half to be expended at the Beach and one-half at the Centre. The following year the appropriation was doubled.
In 1891 $375 was voted for the purchase of free text books, and the sum of $250 was raised for a free high school.
In 1900 $1,088.80 was raised for the support of schools, $150 for books and $100 for repair of school houses. The appropriations in 1901 were $1,100 for support of the schools, $300 for high school, $50 for books and $100 for repairs. In 1902 $1,250 was the sum appropriated.
In 1904 it was voted to raise $400 for afree high school, with this accompaning clause: "If a free high school of standard grade cannot be maintained at $400 per year that the amount raised be used as a fund to pay tuition of pupils attending high schools in other towns."
Later appropriations are as follows: 1905, $1,100; 1906, $1,200 for support, $175 for books and $150 for repairs; 1907, $1,200 for support, $50, books, $200, repairs, and $50 to defray tuition of scholars who attend high school.
CHURCH HISTORY. The Rev. Paul Coffin, D. D., a Congregationalist mission
ary, visited Lincolnville, Aug. 13-14, 1796, and was the guest of Geo. Ulmer, Esq. On Sunday he preached from
HISTORICAL 31
John 12:46 to about ninety hearers. He was probably the first missionary who gave the settlers a Sabbath.
Elder Ephraim Stinchfield, a Free Will Baptist clergyman, was in Lincolnville about two months in 1808, and baptized no less than eighty-seven persons. One week he preached fifteen times and baptized twenty-eight.
In 1803 Lincolnville was divided into two districts and it was voted that public worship be provided for in each. This was probably the first action taken by the town officials for the promotion of religion in the town.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The first Methodist class formed in Lincolnville was by Joseph Baker in 1801 or 1802. Jonathan Fletcher was the first class leader but no record of the names oi members can be found. Lincolnville was then part of "Union Circuit."
In 1808 the Rev. Jesse Lee, an itinerant missionary, visited Lincolnville and preached to a good sized congregation which had assembled in a school house.
In 1849 there were four Methodist classes with one hundred and six members in town. The class leaders were Ephraim Mariner, Gideon Young, Cyrus Noyes and Samuel Prescott. In 1858 in the same classes there were eighty-seven members; in 1860, ninety-four; in 1874, fifty-eight. In 1886 there were two classes having a membership of twenty-eight.
The first record of revivals are those which were held in 1858, and those under the labors of Rev. Hiram Murphy in 1859. Other revivals followed in 1866 and 67 when Rev. J.
32 LINCOLNVILLE
B. Bean was in charge, and in 1868 during the ministry of Rev. John H. Bennett. In 1885 under the labors of Rev. W. W. Ogier there were several conversions at the Centre.
In 1849 Lincolnville and Montville constituted a circuit, in 1850, Lincolnville, Northport and Searsmont. Lincolnville and Northport remained together until 1856, when Lincolnville was united with Hope. In 1862 this town was again classed with Northport. The circuit from 1864 to 1869 consisted of Lincolnville, Hope and Searsmont.
The Methodists have a church just above the Centre and meetings are held as regularly as possible. The parsonage was sold several years ago to raise funds to repair the church, and there is no settled pastor at the present time.
The Rev. Benj. Jones, who was pastor in 1842 and 43 and was here again in 1845, was a leading man in Methodism in this section of the state, and was in charge of this circuit for many years. He died in Lincolnville in 1850.
Pastors since 1843 were Revs. E. M. Fowler, 1845; M. R. Clough, 1846; John C. Prince, 1847; Samuel S. Sargent, 1849; Levi C. Dunn, 1852; Ephraim Bryant, 1854; Rufue S. Dixon, 1855; Hiram Murphy, 1858-9; J. B. Bean, 1866-7; John H. Bennett, 1868; Rufus S. Dixon, 1874; Walter W. Ogier, 1884; G. Stilphen, 1887. The Rev. Zebulon Davis preached here and at Hope. In 1885 or 86 the Rev. Geo. E. Files preached in Lincolnville or Northport. The church is supplied a t present by clergymen from neighboring towns.
BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Baptist Church a t the Centre was built by Capt.
HISTORICAL 33
Joshua Lamb in 1821, and cost probably about $10,000. The church is well finished throughout, the seats are of pine and the carving is all by hand and very beautiful. There are galleries on all four sides, that at the rear serving as a choir loft. The front gallery forms the pulpit so that the preacher is elevated some distance above the congregation.
The first pastor of the church was probably Elder Mc-Kinney whose ministry in Lincolnville continued several years. Elder Rines, a blind preacher, was pastor for many years. Other preachers who supplied the church at various times were the Revs. Geo. and John Lamb, brothers of Joshua, Hon. Ebenezer Knowlton, M. C, Rev. W. H. Jackson, Rev. D. R. Mansfield and Rev. Gideon Sandford. Rev. Jason Marriner was a member of the church.
There has never been a very large membership but the Sunday school once registered one thousand members.
The meeting house was repaired a few years ago and the Rev. F. M. Preble, D. D., of Auburn, preached the dedicatory sermon.
The literary exercises at Lincolnville's Centennial Celebration, in 1902, were held in this building.
The church is now used for worship by all denominations, and the pews have been made free. Neighboring clergymen supply the pulpit as there is no resident pastor at the present time.
There is a "Union" Church at Lincolnville Beach erected for the use of all denominations. Meetings are held frequently and the church is supplied by visiting clergymen.
34 LINCOLNVILLE
MILITARY HISTORY.
Since Lincolnville was not settled until a few years prior to the Revolution none of the inhabitants were in the service. With the immigration into Maine, however, at the close of the war came several veterans who settled in the plantation and took up land here.
Among these men was Gen. Geo. Ulmer, of Waldoboro. He had served in the Continental Army at Quebec, Ticonde-roga, at the capture of Burgoyne.the defeat of Rhode Island and the battles of Bradywine and Monmouth. He took up his residence at the Trap soon alter the close of the war, and became one of the leading men of the town. He was appointed Major-General of the Tenth Division of Militia by the Legislature. His brother, Major Philip Ulmer, had doubtless seen service also but no record has been found.
Other soldiers of the Revolution who setted here were Lieut. John Norton, Malachi Tower, and Egnatius Jordan. Chas. Mathews was a Revolutionary soldier also.
June 20, 1781, Gen. Peleg Wadsworth and Maj. Benj. Burton passed through Canaan in their flight from the British prison in Castine.
The War of 1812 found the settlements along the Penobscot Bay a flourishing community. Because of the British invasion of this part of Maine and the investment of Castine, the citizens of the towns in this section were kept in a state of constant vigilance to repel attacks upon these shores.
In Oct., 1814, Major Noah Miller, with a crew consisting of West Drinkwater, Kingsbury Duncan, Jonathan Clark,
HISTORICAL 35
Samuel Duncan and John Duncan, went in a "reach-boat" on an evening cruise in Belfast Bay for the purpose of detaching and preventing supplies being carried to the British at Castine.
In the morning of Nov. 1st they descried a British sloop at the eastern end of Long Island (Islesboro) standing up the bay towards Castine. They started in pursuit and overhauled her at Turtle Head.
The vessel was found to be the sloop Mary from Halifax, Capt. Benj. Darling, master, with a cargo valued per invoice at $40,000. She had been under a convoy but had become separated from the others at the lower extremity of Long Island and sailed up the western side of the island, while the convoy continued up the eastern to Castine.
Among the few remaining veterans of the Aroostook War, Lincolnville has one pensioner, Jason Hills, of Grange, who a t the age of more than ninety years is still vigorous and active.
LINCOLNVILLE IN THE REBELLION.
I t is not necessary here to recount in detail the part which Lincolnville took in the great struggle of the Rebellion. It is all familiar to the sons and daughters of the men who responded to the call and left their homes and loved ones to do their part in the upholding of the cause of Freedom, and the preservation of the Union. It need only be said tha t the men of Lincolnville did honor to their native town, that they were always among the foremost in battle, and tha t their bravery and patriotism have never been questioned.
36 LINCOLNVILLE
Most of the soldiers of the Civil War have answered to the last great roll call, and are numbered with the dead, but their descendants of this generation understand that it is to them and to their comrades who survive that our country owes her prosperity and greatness, and the people of this town glory in the fact that when the call of duty came the response of the town of Lincolnville was loyal, and that their fathers were not afraid to go forth to do battle, and if necessary to die. The roll call is given below.

PHYSICIANS Perhaps the earliest resident physician in Lincolnville
was Dr. Rayburn, who came about the time the town was incorporated, and remained many years.
There is a record in the clerk's books of a Dr. (?) Geo. W. Shepherd, who came to this town in 1808.
Dr. Wm. Ludwig came about 1827, and continued in practice a long time.
Dr. Michael Gordan, who came from Belmont, settled at Lincolnville Centre about 1845 or 50, and remained until his death.
Dr. Nathaniel A. Eells, a graduate of the Maine Medical School in 1849, practised at Lincolnville for a short time. He died Sept. 6, 1853, at the age of twenty-six.
Dr. Dean was here during the earlier year of the Civil War, but enlisted as a surgeon in the army and never returned to this town.
Dr. John Gordon, a son of Dr. Michael, practised here also but enlisted for service in the Rebellion.
Dr. Benj. F. Neal came in the early part of the seventies and practised here about three or four years.
Dr. E. F. Brown of Searsmont, who succeeded Dr. Neal, came probably about 1880. He retired from practice because of ill health, and was succeeded by Dr. E. D. Williams who practised about a year before removing to Islesboro, where he died.
Dr. Brown resumed his practice after the departure of Dr. Williams, and continued until his death, Oct. 17, 1903.
Several physicians attended the calls here until Dr. Chas. H Leach took up his residence in the latter part of 1903.
Dr. John M. Fletcher was a native of this town but practised in Camden and Belfast.

LINCOLNVILLE CENTENNIAL.
Lincolnville observed the centennial of her incorporation June 23, 1902. Hundreds of people from neighboring towns, and many former residents from more distant places came to enjoy the program and participate in the exercises.
The public meeting was held at the Union church, and Judge G. W. Kelley of Rockland presided. The historical address was delivered by Joseph S. Mullin Esq., of this town, and the centennial address by Thomas A. Hunt, Esq., of Camden. A full chorus, led by G. W. Young, with Miss Mina Jones, and Miss H. McCobb accompanists, a t the organ, sang two centennial odes which^had been written for the occasion by Arno W. Knight.

History of lloptbpont* Northport, the 106th town in Maine, was originally the
northerly part of the Plantation of Ducktrap. It is bounded on the north by Belfast and Belmont, on the east and south by Penobscot Bay, and on the west by Pitcher's Pond and the town of Lincolnville.
The area is about twenty-five square miles, about one half oi which is covered with timber. The surface is rough and broken by many hills, but there is much good land for farming and about one half of the town is used for that purpose. The coast line is irregular, and there is but one important harbor, Saturday Cove.
Northport is a noted summer resort and hundreds of visitors come in the hot season to the Northport Camp Ground, Temple Heights and Saturday Cove. The climate, like that of other towns on the bay is very, healthful. The scenery is varied and beautiful. During the summer season steamers touch at Temple Heights and the Camp Ground. The villages are connected with Belfast and Camden by stage.
The population in 1790, was 278; in 1900, 545.
EARLY SETTLEMENT. Outlines of what is thought by some people to have been
a prehistoric road exist in Northport near the bluff and indicate the possible presence here of the Northmen or other
HISTOKICAL 41
early voyagers centuries ago. The earliest authentic record of early settlers here, how
ever, places the settlement sometime in the earlier part of 1780-90. In 1790, when the first census was taken, the settlement had become a flourishing community with a population of 278.
One of the earliest white men to land on these shores was James Miller, an early settler in Belfast who, on his way from New Hampshire to take up land in Belfast touched at Northport one Saturday in 1769, thinking he had reached his destination. He called the mistaken locality Saturday Uove.
At one time in the early days of the first settlement in Belfast, Robert Miller was returning in a boat from Camden with a bag of meal when he went ashore at Northport to get a dinner prepared at a cabin here, which was probably the only one in Northport at that time. He found the family ill and destitute and shared with the members his bag of meal.
Among the earliest permanent settlers in this place was David Miller who took up land on the shore evidently about 1786. John and Catherine Wadlin came not longafterward. They had a family of twelve children. Capt. Thomas Burk-mar (written also Buckmore, Buckmer, Buckmar and Bunk-mar), a soldier of the Revolution, came prior to 1795, and took up a great tract of land of two or three hundred acres. He became a leading man in the settlement. John, Thomas Jr. and Joseph who were probably all of the same name, though spelled in various ways, were early settlers also. John and Thos. Jr . were probably eons of Thos. Sr. Joseph
42 NORTHPORT
who had at least a hundred acres of land was probably a brother.
Nathaniel Sylvester came before 1792. Micajah Drink water, son of Joseph and Janet (Latham)
Drinkwater was born on Cousins Island Jan. 25, 1739. He married Elizabeth Bradford of Kingston, Mass., and settled in Northport with his sons Zenas and Josiah. The Drink-waters settled on the shore road not far from Duck Trap and were here in 1793.
Gershom and Abigal Collier who came probably in the first place from Scituate, Mass., settled with their sons Roland, born 1784, John, born 1785, and their daughter Mary, born 1788, near Knight's Pond about 1797. They had settled previously on Islesboro.
Roland settled afterward on the Ben Daggett place, John on what has since been owned by Chas. Bird. The Colliers were leading men in the early days of the town.
Lewis Pitcher came from Waldoboro with his wife Sarah, and settle near Pitchers Pond before 1797, acquiring a tract of at least 150 acres. The Pitchers had a family of eleven children, the oldest born in 1792, the youngest in 1815. Lewis, Sr., died in 1844. Geo. Pitcher settled on the shore and was here in 1795. He had a holding of about 110 acres.
The Prescotts, Samuel, Samuel Jr. and John were here in 1795. Samuel owned a great tract of land in the upper part of the town running to the Belfast line.
Benj. Stevens came from New Hampshire. His son Benj. was born in Northport in 1801.
James Rhodes and Sylvester Cottrel were early settlers
HISTORICAL 43
also. Settlers on the shore in addition to those previously
mentioned included John Battie who had 115 acres; John Clark, Reuben Knowlton, 123 acres; Henry Elwell, 95% acres; Isaac Woodworth, 114% acres; Adam Hysler, John and Mark Welch, James Dickey, 150 acres; Edward Carter, 106 acres; Daniel Lawrence, 250 acres; Will Pendleton, 100 acres; Ebenezer Frye, 102 acres; Pinkham, Doyle, Ely, Capt. Jonathan Elwell, Capt. T. Knowlton, Hozea and Will Flanders.
In the vicinity ol Duck Trap Pond were James and Thos. Rhodes who held 100 acres each, John Gilkey, Rena Knight, David Gay, Will Bradford.
In the Panhandle near the Belmont line were Jonathan Clark, Jr., Will Fowler and the Bracketts.
Among the other settlers here were the following: Ebenezer Perkins, Daniel Batchelder, Richard Freeman, Wiuslow Rackliff, James and Will Dickey, James and John Clark, John Harvey, Adam Patterson, Mark Dodge, Henry and Will Pendleton, Isaac Bridges, Isaac Woodworth, Edgar Ulmer, Thos. Brazier, John Gilkey, Jas. Perkins, Nat. Pendleton, Thos. Knowlton, Thos. Morton, Capt. John Wade, Will Bradford, John Stewart and Benj. Smith.
PETITION FOR INCORPORATION.
The petition oi the inhabitants of the plantation in its original form (many names misspelled and incorrectly written) is an authentic list of the earliest settlers in this town.
44 NORTHPORT
Petition accompanying chapter 40, Acts of 1795. Commonwealth of Massachusetts:— To the Honorable the Senate and the Honorable the House
of Representatives of said Commonwealth in General Court assembled at Boston Jan. 1796. The petition of the subscribers inhabitants of the
northerly part of a plantation called Duck Trap in the county of Hancock humbly shews that the Inhabitants have for a long time struggled with the Difficulties arising from their unincorporated state and are now become convinced that in order to insure to themselves the advantage of the laws of society, and of due regulations it will be necessary for them to be vested with the powers, priviledges and immunities of incorporated towns—
The plantation now called Duck Trap is of too considerable an extent to form one town, and the inhabitants have agreed upon such a Division as will be a mutual accomodation to both parts—
The lines comprehending the part now the subject of your petitioners application are as follows—viz: beginning at a place called Little River, on the line dividing the plantation of Duck Trap from the Town of Belfast—thence running a course southwest by west three miles, thence northwest by north one mile, thence southwest by west three miles, thence southeast by south to the bay or seashore six miles, thence by the seashore a northerly course to the first mentioned bounds—
Your petitioners pray that the Land above described, with the inhabitants living within the same tract may be

CHURCH ACCOUNT. Probably the first clergyman to visit the settlers in
Northport was the Rev. Paul Coffin, D.D., who was here Aug. 12,1796, as the guest of James Beattie. He preached from Prov. 5:22-23, and ministered to the spiritual wants of the settlers.
METHODISTS.
The old Methodist Church a t Saturday Cove was built
50 NORTHPORT
about eighty years ago. Elders Benj. Jones, of Lincolnville, McGray E. Brackett, E. M. Fowler, of Searsmont, and Rufus S. Dixon were early preachers. The church was burned about twenty years after its erection.
The following is a list of Methodist preachers who have been stationed in Northport: Rev. Benj. Jones, 1834; C. Mugford, 1836; H. Richardson, 1836; W.S.Douglass, 1839; N. Thompson, 1843; Leander S. Coan, 1859; Geo. G. Win-slow, 1860; Wm. Reed, 1861 and 63; Thos. Cookson, 1862; E. V. Hills, (E. Northport), 1886.
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, EAST NORTHPORT.
Mr. C. H. Bryant, of Bristol, was instrumental in building the Methodist Church at East Northport. A lot 90x95 feet was contributed by Mr. H. L. Kochersperger, of Chicago, and the Ladies Aid Society, of East Northport, contributed funds.
The corner stone was laid Nov. 1, 1900, but the church was not dedicated until Feb. 22, 1903. The building has eight memorial windows valued at f 225.
Mr. Bryant was the first preacher and continued to supply the pulpit until May, 1903.
The church was supplied by visiting preachers until 1905, when Rev. G. G. Winslow, of East Belfast, became the first pastor. Mr. Wm. Pillsbury is deacon.
BAPTISTS.
The church at Saturday Cove was erected through the efforts of the Ladies Aid Society. It was dedicated a Baptist
HISTORICAL 51
Church and has always been supplied. Mr. John Pendleton, a graduate of Bates, has preached here during the summer months for several seasons. There is no settled pastor.
MILITARY HISTORY
Among the early settlers of Northport were several veterans of the Revolution and earlier Wars, sturdy pioneers, with little fear of the rigors and hardships ot life in the wilderness. Among them were Maj. Ebenezer Frye, a veteran of both the French and Revolutionary Wars, and Capt. Thomas Burkmar, a soldier of the Revolution.
WAR OF 1 8 1 2 .
Like the other towns situated on Penobscot Bay, North-port was exposed to the attacks and depredations of the British stationed at Castine, and the warships which cruised along the coast of Maine.
On the 23d of September, 1814, two barges filled with British soldiers made an attack on Saturday Cove.
Elizabeth Drinkwater, the young wife of West Drink-water, observed their approach and notified Zachariah Lawrence, whom she chanced to meet. Lawrence went to the shore with his gun and secreting himself began to give orders as to a force of soldiers, and fired at the boats from different points.
The British withdrew for reinforcements, and during their absence West Drinkwater, Alban Elwell, Solomon Fro-
52 NORTHPORT
hock, and David Alden, collected a force and prepared to meet them when they returned. The English, with reinforcements and a swival gun, drove the defenders back and plundered the store of Jones Shaw and several houses. The damage and loss suffered by the citizens of Saturday Cove amounted to between three and four hundred dollars.
Many of the townsmen were in the service in this War. Aug. 31, 1812, sixty men were enrolled under the command of Capt. Jonathan Frye.
THE CIVIL WAR.
Northport is not a large town, but the part which she has taken in our country's wars has been noble, and second to no other in this section of Maine.
The outbreak of the Rebellion found the citizens of Northport as ready and eager as were their fathers to render service in our country's need. They were patriotic and loyal, and their deeds reflect honor upon their ancestors and their native town. The roll call:

EARLY LAND TROUBLES During the early years of the settlement of the towns in
this section many valuable tracts of land were occupied by
HISTORICAL 55
persons who had come into possession of them either through the generosity of former owners or carelessness on the part of the agents of the proprietors, and had no legal right or title. These men had improved the land and refused to abandon their holdings. Numerous ejectment suits were the result, and many of the "squatters" combined to resist the authority of the law and appeared on various occasions armed and disguised as Indians.
In Greene difficulties between the settlers and agents constantly occurred, and some of the settlers disguised as Indians resisted officers who attempted to serve legal process, believing the proprietors to be adopting measures which to their minds were oppressive and unjust.
The hostility between settlers and agents led to what has since been called the "Greene Indian War," or "Scare," which occurred probably in 1807.
One of the most prominent of the settlers in the plantation had been arrested for an alleged violation ol the law, and brought to Belfast on his way to the jail at Castine. As it was late in the day when the officer arrived with his prisoner, and the wind unfavorable for the packet to cross to Castine, the prisoner was placed in custody for the night.
The event created great excitement, and rumors circulated through Belfast tha t the Greene Indians were coming to rescue the prisioner and burn the village. Precautions were taken to prevent surprise and the fighting men of that town turned out fully armed and equipped to repel the anticipated attack.
In Greene, however, the settlers had been sleeping quietly
56 GREENE PLANTATION
the thought of attacking Belfast never having occurred to them. Needless to say the chagrin of the citizens of Belfast was very great. The hoax has become famous. With the increase of population and the incorporation of the plantation into towns the land difficulties came to an end.

The above is a list which includes the names of the prominent citizens in what is now Searsmont, Belmont, and Morrill. These men were among the earliest settlers here.
The population of the plantation at this time was more than nine hundred.
Why the incorporate name of the proposed town was changed from Gilead to Belmont is not known. A careful search has been made to ascertain the cause of the change, "but without success as the Journals of the House and Senate throw no light on the matter." There is a tradition to the effect that there was already in the commonwealth a town by the name of Gilead and that it was decided to change the name of the proposed town to Belmont, because it lay between Belfast and Montville, a syllable of each name being taken to lorm the name of the new town. The name Belmont was proposed by Geo. Walton, Esq., who aided in procuring the incorporation of the town.

MILITARY HISTORY. Among the early settlers in what is now Belmont and
Morrill, were three who claimed to have served in the French and Indian War; Braddock, who, tradition has it, is buried on Braddock's Island in the Qurantabacook, John Robinson who fought under Wolfe at Quebec, and Joseph Weymouth who was a soldier also in the Revolution. There came with these men several veterns of the Revolutionary War, sturdy pioneers who penetrated into the wilderness and began the settlement of these towns. Among them was Capt. James Weymouth, who in 1777, was a soldier under General Gates. In 1779, he shipped on the U. S. Frigate Ranger, was taken prisoner by the British and confined in a prison ship off New York Harbor where he was kept until 1783.

The years 1812-14, those of the Second War with England, were momentous for the people of these towns. The men who enlisted were of another generation, but they were the sons of men who had loved liberty and won the independence of our land and they responded just as readily as their fathers to the call to arms. Many of the volunteers from this section were sent to the Canadian frontier.
John P. Dolliff was in several minor engagements; Wm. Furbish enlisted as a blacksmith; Joshua W. Smith was never heard from after his enlistment, Cotton Ward was a Lieutenant and recruiting officer in New Hampshire; Roger Merrithew, who fought in the battle of Plattsburg; Thomas Barlow and Geo. Mears who were drummer boys were residents here after the war.

BELMONT MILLS
The first mill in the town of Belmont was built before 1830, and was located near what is now the boundry line between this town and Morrill. It was owned by several Greer Brothers, sons of James Greer, one of the earliest settlers in old Belmont. It was afterward owned by John Crawford, Daniel Greer, and Chandler Cunningham. Thos. Cunningham succeeded Crawford as part owner. The mill was burned about 1854.
John Dickey, an early settler in Searsmont, came with his son Reuben and built the first mills in the lower part of Belmont. They were built about 1830 and were located on Duck Trap stream.
John Carver who sold to David Grafton was afterward owner of the mill. Sylvanus and Eleazer Edgecomb bought the stave mill and operated it for a time. The mills were afterward owned by Miles Pease and F. A. Tower, and were sold to Morse Brothers and Elijah Pease. Herbert and Chandler Morse are the present owners of the mills, which are now run by steam.
The Holmes saw mill was built by James Holmes who afterward sold to Joshua Cross of Morrill.
Barnard Morse and sons built a stone mill on a small stream near Tilden Pond. It was constructed prior to 1860.
Nathan Farrow and Geo. Chapman built a saw mill in Belmont about 1835, and sold it to John Hurd of North-port. A stave mill was built on the same site by Asa Allen-wood and Sons, and later removed farther down the stream.

ship of Belmont, but on the petition of a number of its inhabitants was set off from Belmont and incorporated a new town. The town was named for Anson P. Morrill, who was Governor of Maine the year of its incorporation.
Morrill's early history is intermingled with that of her sister town Belmont, and much of it, as the early settlement etc., is considered in the history of that town.

MORRILL MILLS The first mills in what is now the town of Morrill were
built by Benj. Smith of Sanbornto wn, N. H., who came from Belfast with a crew of men, selected a place for his mill, and settled here the following year. The mills were built about 1800.
The Weymouth mill, which was built about 1830 or 1835, was located on Murphy Brook, and was owned by Geo. Weymouth and John Alexander. Alexander sold his share to John Morey, and about 1844 or '45 built a stave mill about one-half mile below, on the same stream. This was purchased by John, Shedrick and Daniel Weymouth, and was burned about 1864.
The Bailey Mill, saw and grist mills, were built in the early part of last century, and were owned by George and Merrill Bailey. They were replaced by the Vickery Steam Mill, which is owned by John F. Vickery. Mr. Vickery's mill was built about eight years ago. It was destroyed by fire in 1902, and rebuilt not long afterward.
The Merriam Mills and the Daggett Steam Mill are the other mills in town.
ECCLESIASTICAL ACCOUNT The first visit of a clergyman to this town was in Au

BAPTISTS.
In 1820, the Baptists in the upper part of the town worshipped at the Baptist church in Montville. The Society grew until in Jan. 20, 1842, an evangelical council met in the Cross district and organized a church in Belmont.
The members of the new organization met Feb. 12th and chose Joseph W. Cross, Deacon, and voted to hire Elder Daniel Farnham to preach here. Meetings were held in the Cross District until 1849, when the "Meeting House" was completed.
Among those who have preached at the meetings of this church are Elders Farnham, Ira Brown, Bowler, Ring, Jo-siah Hallowell, Vinal, Rev. Geo. S. Hill, Rev. Geo. E. Tufts of Belfast, and Mr. Robert Morris.

80r SEARSMONT
Sweetland agreed to build the meeting house for the sum of $1,450. The total amount paid for building and furnishing the church was $1,962.58.
The church was dedicated Jan. 13, 1846. A bell was presented to the society by David Sears of Boston soon after the church was built.
The Rev. K. Holt was pastor probably from 1846 to 1848. In 1849 the Rev. F. Merriam came and remained several years. A list of the preachers is as follows: 1851, and probably 1852, Rev.

A Mr. Weeks preached here a few Sundays, and Rev. Ebenezer Knowlton, a Free Baptist clergyman preached during a period of three months. The church was destroyed by fire March 25, 1888. The Rev. Geo. E. Barstow was probably the last pastor of the church. The last records are dated Aug. 29, 1891.
MILITARY ACCOUNT Among the early settlers in Green Plantation were sev
eral who had fought in the Revolutionary War. How many Revolutionary soldiers settled in what is now Searsmont is not known. An old church record says that Cyril Brown enlisted and served throughout the entire War. There were probably several others.
HISTORICAL 80s
In the War of 1812 a number of Searsmont men were called into service. Capt. Timo. Dunton of this town commanded a detachment.
Meager as are the records of the part which Searsmont took in the Wars preceeding the great Civil War, the response shown by the townsmen in the Rebellion shows that Searsmont was always ready to do her part when our country needed men and aid.

Waldo, originally called "Three Mile Square," received its present name at a meeting of the inhabitants, Oct. 2, 1820. It was first settled in 1806, by Jonathan ThurstoD of Belfast, who made a clearing where Hall Clements of Knox afterward settled. The tract then containing six thousand acres, was set off that year on an execution in favor of Sarah Waldo, administratrix ot the estate of Samuel Waldo of Portland, and appraised at f 8,000 by Kobert Houston, Jas. Nesmith and Daniel Clary of Belfast.
It was surveyed into lots in 1809, and was organized for plantation purposes in 1821. In 1824, five thousand acres from Swanville were annexed to it, and in 1836 a gore of about one hundred and fifty acres adjoining Knox became a part of the plantation.
EARLY SETTLEMENT As we have seen, the first settler in Waldo was Jonathan
Thurston of Belfast, who came to this place in 1806, and cleared a small tract of land in the wilderness. In all probability he remained only a few years as the land upon which he settled afterward came into the possession of Hall Clements, who came from Knox about 1818 or ] 9.
HISTORICAL 80y
Josiah Sanborn, and his wife Olive (Fogg), came from New Hampshire and settled here prior to 1809. John, David, Peter and Jowiah were their sons. The Sanborns were among the very earliest settlers in Waldo, and took a prominent part in the early affairs of the plantation.
Stetson West came from Perham, N. H., and settled in Belfast, from which place he moved to a log cabin on what is now the Beckwith place in this town. He was settled in Belfast in 1800, and his name appears on a list of votes for that year. On the roll of Captain Thomas Cunningham's company of militia his name is recorded among those drafted for service in the War of 1812. He came to Waldo prior to 1820. Luther and Asa West were here at the same time.
Samuel Bullen, a soldier of the War of 1812, came from Farmington. He married Margaret, the daughter of Stetson West, and was here in 1822. He became a leading man in the plantation, and was one of those who, in 1846, organized the religious society called the "Puritan Society of Belfast," which afterwards formed the "North Church in Belfast," a t the Head of the Tide.
Henry Davidson, son of John Davidson, one of the earliest settlers in Belfast, came to Belfast from Windham, N. H., prior to 1810, and settled in Waldo a year or two later. He was one of the most influential and prominent men in this vicinity, and took a leading part in town affairs. He was a Justice of the Peace, and served as Moderator at the first meeting of the inhabitants of the new plantation, July 6,1821. He was Clerk of the plantation for many years.

He was also the first Clerk of the present Congregational Church in Belfast, and as a Justice oi the Peace issued the warrant for the reorganization of the society in 1824. He was one of the men who organized the religious society at the Head of the Tide in 1846. He became postmaster of Waldo in 1839, and continued in office after its removal to the Head of the Tide in January, 1848. He resigned in 1858. His death occurred Jan. 26, 1864, at the age of 81 years.
Major Timothy Chase, one of the first assessors of Waldo Plantation, was an early settler here, and one of the leading citizens until his removal to Belfast, about 1826-30, where he afterward went into business, and became one of the most influential citizens of the town.

Seth Chatman came before 1819, Luke Barton and Wm. Ranks before 1817. John Wentworth, who came from Fryeburg, and Nathaniel Gurney, were early settlers also. Matthias Parker of Waldoboro came about 1820.
Eben Whitcomb of Hope, a soldier of the War of 1812, married Polly French of Abbington, and settled in Waldo prior to 1820. Samuel Payson of Hope married Rebecca Madden of St. George, and was an early resident here. Daniel Vickery married Betsey Simmons and settled here, probably before 1814.
HISTORICAL 80aa
Addin Daniels, who married Sally Brown of Belfast, came from Swanville before 1822. The Coombs family came about 1811 or 12, probably, and settled on the Hubbard place.
