1904 Letter from Gilford B. Butler, Clerk of Supreme Judicial Court of Knox, County, Maine, re: Peter Stamp, b. 1865 in Germany

Letter dated May 16, 1904, from Gilford Brinton Butler (1874-1956), Clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court of Knox County, Maine, to James Anderson (1845-1917) of South Thomaston, Maine, in reference to Anderson's request for information on Peter Stamp.

Butler noted that Knox County records show that Peter Stamp was born in Rentsburg [perhaps Rendsburg], Germany, on October 7, 1865 and came to Rockland, Maine, by way of Saint John, New Brunswick, on March 28, 1886.

Interestingly, James Anderson's daughter Emma C. Anderson (1873-1951) married a James P. Stamp (c1866-1898), who was lost at sea at the age of about 32. He may have been the Peter Stamp in question.

It appears that Emma was left with 5 children upon her husband's untimely death.

If you have information to share on this family and/or if you feel that Peter Stamp was someone other than James P. Stamp, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.

November 1845 Document from Bion Bradbury, Customs Collector at Passamaquoddy, Eastport, Maine, to Customs in Alexandria, Virginia

November 22, 1845 document from Bion Bradbury (1811-1887), Customs Collector at the District of Passamaquoddy, in Eastport, Maine, to the Customs Collector in the District of Alexandria, then, apparently, considered part of Washington, D.C.


The document concerns the Schooner Lucinda Snow of Boston, whose master was then William Hall.

The schooner Lucinda Snow came to grief after a voyage to the Gulf of Mexico, where her cargo was unloaded in Galveston, and she was then chartered by the U.S. Government for use during the Mexican-American War.  During the "great norther" of May 2, 1846, the schooner was cast upon the island of Sacrificios near Vera Cruz, Mexico, and later became the subject of a lawsuit.

Bradury, a native of Biddeford, Maine and graduate of Bowdoin College, was an attorney, before, in 1844, being appointed Customs Collector for the Passamaquoddy District. He served in the Maine State Legislature and ran several times for governor, but was not successful, although, according to a contemporary note in pencil on the document, he did serve as Lieutenant Governor at one time.

See a photograph of him circa 1880, on the Maine Memory Network.  From the July 2, 1887 issue of the Portland Daily Press:







If you have information on Bion Bradbury, William Hall or the Schooner Lucinda Snow, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.  

And if you know of a way for Google Maps to show sea routes, please let me know.

1882-1887 Account Book of Dr. Avery Moulton Foster (1851-1929), covering his Practice in Guilford, Maine; Abbot, Maine; and Lewiston, Maine

Account book of Dr. Avery Moulton Foster (1851-1929), covering the years 1882-1887, when he practiced at:
  • Guilford, Maine, from 1882, when this particular account book commences, to 1883
  • Abbot, Maine, from 1883 to 1886 - presumably upon the illness and death of Dr. Nathaniel Small Davis (abt 1836-1884)
  • Lewiston, Maine, from 1886 until this particular account book ends in 1887

See alphabetical lists, by town, at the end of this post for the patients Dr. Foster saw or received goods and services from.

The account book tracks medical visits, medicines prescribed, amputations, tooth extractions and other medical care, as well as listing payments and the items and services Dr. Foster received as payment in kind. The municipalities of Abbot and Lewiston paid for some of the care.

Guilford and Abbot were located in an area where logging, river driving, slate mining and farming, all dangerous pursuits, were common, and where childbirth, and injuries that might seem minor to us today, were always risky.

According to Dr. Foster's FindaGrave memorial, he graduated from the medical school at Bowdoin College in 1875 and then practiced at Belmont, Maine for six years, before moving to Guilford, then Abbot and then Lewiston. After a couple years in Lewiston, he moved to Candia, New Hampshire, where he was a surgeon of note.   

Dr. Foster was the son of Moses Berry Foster (1812-1886) and Eliza Ann (Benson) Foster (1816-1892).  Perhaps Dr. Foster relocated to the Lewiston area in 1886 to be closer to ailing parents.

Dr. Avery Moulton Foster married twice:
  1. Mary Arbella Drinkwater (1848-1892), 1876; they had a daughter, Myra Isabel Foster (1883 Abbot, Maine - 1917 Candia, New Hampshire); she became a teacher in Lewiston, Maine; died of tuberculosis, with her own father, tragically, signing her death record.
  2. Susan A. Cate (1863-1943); 1896

If you have information on Dr. Avery Moulton Foster (1851-1929) or Dr. Nathaniel Small Davis (abt 1836-1884), please leave a comment.

Alphabetical Lists of Patients at Practices in Guilford, Maine; Abbot, Maine; and Lewiston, Maine, including the pages where their names appear, with multiple appearances on a page shown in parenthesis.

Note: Dr. Foster saw some patients at both Guilford and Abbot and perhaps even some of those at Lewiston.  

This account book is an amazing record of the history of Guilford, Abbot and Lewiston in the 1880s.  If you have information to share on any of these people, please leave a comment for the benefit of other researchers.

    Paris, Nov. 8, 1854
    Moses Emery, Esq.
    My dear Friend:
    I want to trouble you so much as to hand the inclosed writ to a Deputy Shf. in Saco & have Bowker arrested, if he can be found. Bowker has a sister there, married, but to whom I don't know. He has also an uncle of his wife living there, Charles Robbins by name. This is all I can say. Bowker left here some days since & is supposed to be lurking with his friends at Saco, intending to get away in a few days for Wisconsin, probably waiting there for his family. Please attend to it immediately. I do not know he is at Saco, but suspect it.

    My family are about as usual, that is, a sort of half _____. Mrs. E, always feeble, is about house - Ellen & Steph are very well. I am busy in preparing for cold Winter, which I dread. My eyes are still bad & I use them as little as possible in reading or writing. Jennette & family are well (at Eastport). Sarah Jane (Mrs. Hamlin) is not well - has a bad cough & I have fears for her. She talks of going to Washington with her husband but I hope she will give it up.
    We should be truly glad to see you, Mrs. Emery & Addison at Paris - give them much love from all of us & accept much yourself.
    ___very affectionately,
    Stephen Emery

    1768-1769 Record of Plowing, Timbering, Hoeing, Haying, Fencing, Harvesting; Noah Emery of Southern Maine and Southeastern New Hampshire

    1768 and 1769 account of the days spent by a hired hand doing plowing, cutting timber, hoeing, haying, fencing and harvesting

    The worker may have been Noah Emery or the hired hand may have worked for Noah Emery.

    Noah Emery may have been Captain Noah Emery (1699-1761) or his son Noah Emery (1725-1788) or another Noah Emery. They lived in the Kittery, Maine,  and/or the Rockingham County, New Hampshire, area.

    It's possible that the top line indicates a Caleb Emery; if so, he may have been the hired hand.

    If you have a theory as to the people connected to this document, please leave a comment for the benefit of other family researchers.

    Samuel D. Hanson High School 50th Anniversary, 1888-1938 - Buxton, Maine

    Samuel D. Hanson High School 50th Anniversary, 1888-1938 - Buxton, Maine.

    In 1917, the school's name changed from Buxton High School to Samuel D. Hanson High School, in honor of Samuel Dunnell Hanson (1817-1888), older brother of major donor Dr. Zenas Payne Hanson (1833-1921).

    Small booklet of 22 pages, with lists of staff and graduates and a history of the 3 buildings used as the school, from 1888 to 1938, when the booklet was printed.

    See images of all of the pages at the end of this post.

    The original school, a building in Buxton Center, was remodeled in 1888 and used until 1913. 



    In 1913 a new building was constructed; sadly, it was lost to fire in March of 1930.



    A replacement building, on the same site, opened at the end of 1930, with classes in the interim held in the Town Hall and Church.



    Note: 
    • The lists of graduates are not in alphabetical order 
    • Women are shown with both birth and married surnames, if known. 
    • Names marked with an asterisk were deceased at the time the booklet was printed.
