1825 Shipbuilding Document, Steuben, Maine; Names of brothers Philo Lewis & Thompson Lewis; and Tunk Mill owners Mark Wilson & Moses Colson

January 3, 1825, Steuben, Maine; handwritten document where Philo Lewis and his brother Thompson Lewis are purchasing planks from Mark Wilson and Moses Colson, owners of the Tunk Mill.

A previous contemporary owner of this document wrote "Shipbuilding" in pencil; presumably the Lewis brothers were shipbuilders.

From brief online research: If you have corrections and/or additional information, please leave a comment for the benefit of other family researchers

• Philo Lewis - presumably Philo Lewis (abt 1785-1838); Postmaster of Steuben from 1823-1827; Connecticut native. Also, thanks to information provided by a reader, a smuggler during Pres. Jefferson's Embargo Act of 1807.

• Thompson Lewis - presumably Thompson Lewis (abt 1788-1827) - his FindaGrave notes his military rank as Colonel; Connecticut native

• Mark Wilson - presumably Mark Wilson (1782-1866); Maine native, possibly Cherryfield, Maine

• Moses Colson - presumably Moses Colson (1782-1860); Maine native, possibly Cherryfield, Maine

1889 Letter from Calvin Rubin Gardner (abt 1834-1909) of Pembroke, Maine, to John Keller Ames (1834-1901) of Machias, Maine; re: Bricks

(Reprinted, with permission, from the Border Historical Society blog)

July 15, 1889 letter from Calvin Rubin Gardner (abt 1834-1909) to lumberman John Keller Ames (1834-1901) in Machias, Maine, regarding Gardner's delivery of bricks to Ames.

According to the letterhead, Gardner was a manufacturer of bricks, a dealer in mowing machines and farming implements and the proprietor of the Gardner House lodging establishment.  

This auction site features a postcard of the Gardner House, although the house depicted may have been a private home.

Gardner mentions delivering bricks to Ames via the Schooner Osias. I wasn't able to find information about a schooner named Osias (Ozias or Osiris ?). Interestingly, there were several people named Ozias in the area. Hopefully a reader will weigh in.

Perhaps the current-day Brickyard Road (map below) was named for Gardner's brickyard, which, if so, was presumably located along it, perhaps close to a wharf.  

If you have information to share on Calvin Rubin Gardner, John Keller Ames or the Schooner Osias (sp?), please leave a comment for the benefit of other family researchers.

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.

Extract of an 1811 Mortgage between Jonathan Dana Clark and Abigail Emerson for 140-1/2 Acres in Berwick, Maine

Thank you to fellow members of the Maine Genealogical Society for help in deciphering names in this document.

Extract of an 1811 Mortgage of Jonathan Dana Clark (abt 1756-1817) of Berwick, Maine, to Abigail Emerson, Widow, in the amount of $256 for her purchase of 140-1/2 acres of land in Berwick, in the area of Chadbourn's Pond and Great Works River.  

Note: Berwick was much larger in 1811 than it is now; South Berwick was set off in 1813 and North Berwick in 1831, with other portions set off later.

Widow Abigail may have been Abigail (Lyman) Emerson (1765-1836), whose husband Edward Emerson, Jr., had died in 1803.

The extractor was William Frost, Register, presumably York County Treasurer William Frost (1754-1836), many of whose papers are held at Yale University.  

Read the original instrument on page 57 of Book 87 - scroll to the next image.  The extract notes that the acreage was bounded by land owned by Chadbourn, Grant and Merriam, but the original goes into far more detail.

If you have information to share on Jonathan Dana Clark, Widow Abigail Emerson, William Frost or the abutting landowners, please leave a comment for the benefit of fellow family researchers. 

1863 Legal Document, York County, Maine - Luther S. Moore of Limerick, Maine; Mr. Mason; the Alfred Bank

1863-1865 legal document from Alfred, Maine, shiretown of York County; pertaining to Luther S. Moore of Limerick, Maine, a Mr. Mason and their dealings at the Alfred Bank at Alfred, Maine.

Luther S. Moore - presumably Luther Sanborn Moore (1821-1892) of Limerick, Maine. He was educated at Limerick Academy and Harvard Law School, farmed in Limerick and served in the Maine State Legislature, where he was speaker of the Maine Senate in 1854.  See his photograph on the The Maine Memory Network.

Mr. Mason - perhaps Thomas Mason (1826-1878) of Limerick

The Alfred Bank - incorporated in 1855.  This interesting history of the Bank mentions that Luther Moore failed in 1863, to the tune of $10,000; there's no mention of a Mr. Mason.

If you have a theory as to the correct identities of Luther S. Moore and Mr. Mason, please leave a comment for the benefit of other family researchers.

1865 Document naming Jesse Locke Gould (1827-1900) as Pound Keeper for the town of Limerick, Maine

1865 document from Limerick, Maine, identifying Jesse Locke Gould (1827-1900) as Pound Keeper.
