 The ger-lorious Centennial Fourth has 
 come and gone, with its sunshine and rain, 
 snap-crackers and tin-horns, over-eating and 
 under-sleeping, and, withal, its general odor 
 of gun-powder and American patriotism. 
 After a sweet sleep of — well, a number — 
 Damariscotta and Newcastle aroused them, 
 selves on tliis of all years, to the duty of the 
 day, and the bustle of yesterday was the 
 result. 
 
 The heavy shower of Monday effectually 
 settled the dust and up to between 3 or 4 
 o'clock in the afternoon, when it coinmenc- 1 
 ed showering at brief intervals, the -ith was 
 all that could be desired. The sun rose 
 clear and brilliant in an almost cloudless sky 
 and a cool refreshing breeze prevailed. A 
 salute of thirteen guns accompanied by the 
 ringing of the church bells ushered in the 
 day. 
 
 The Antiques and Horrible parading be- 
 fore half past six many lost sight of one of 
 the most laughable features of the day. 
 The American, Irish, Chinese aud Negro 
 were represented in liabiliments of extra- 
 ordinary design. A bass and snare drums 
 and fife accompanied. 
 
 At 8'oclock tiie fresh breeze had created 
 a heavy "chop" on the river, considerably 
 abating the excitement that would have 
 centered in the regatta. But every avail- 
 able nook and corner was occupied — the 
 wharves and vessels, and Main street, from 
 the Newcastle post office to Genthner's block, 
 was black with spectators. 
 
 Boats lined at Cottrill's wharf. The 
 course was 1 1-2 mile. E. H. Winslow and 
 K. C. Woodward entered for single scull 
 race. The signal was given, the start made, 
 but it was evident from the first that the 
 shells would get the worst of it. Both 
 rounded the turning stake. Winslow'sboat 
 was half filled with water, and midway on 
 the return he was taken off, his craft just 
 on the point of sinking. Wood'vard made 
 
 the course, and was saluted by the band and 
 cheered by the crowd as he came in. 
 
 There were two entries in the four oared 
 race. One of these backed out and an im- 
 promptu crew was made up and went into 
 the race without practice. Both made a 
 good start but it was apparent the practiced 
 men were coming in ahead, as they did. 
 Time 12 minutes 37 seconds. Tlie crew 
 were composed of: Geo. Marshall, stroke; 
 J. L. Thompson, second; Fred Tliompson, 
 third; Will Waters, bow; F. H. Converse, 
 coxwain. The name of the winning boat 
 was "Boxer." They were hailed by the 
 band and tlie spectators as they passed the 
 line. 
 
 Three entries were made for the tub race : 
 Wm. A. Stetson, M. W. Wyman, A. F. 
 Stetson. The course was from end of 
 Cottrill's wharf to shore at the fish market. 
 Wyman came in first but the two Stetson 
 boys made the fun. A. F. pitched violently 
 and when about half way to the shore his 
 tub overturned, and he went under amid 
 shouts of laughter. He was almost imme- 
 diately followed by W. A. and another 
 laugh went up. The crowd enjoyed tliis 
 immensely. 
 
 Tiie Cornet Band and the Triumph 
 Engine Company of Waldoboro, arrived at 
 10.22 and vs'ere met at the depot by the 
 Damariscotta Band, the Taniscot and 
 Massasoit Engine Co's, and escorted to 
 f-incoln-Block.~-ri>e"proce*sionT«\vhich j\'as ' 
 to^lfSve moved at ten, was delayed unti) 
 eleven o'clock, when line was formed in 
 *ront of Lincoln and Maine Hotel Blocks 
 and moved as follows :

 Damariscotta Brass Band. 
 
 Massasoit Engine Company, of Damariscotta 
 
 Taniscot IDngine Company, of Newcastle. 
 
 Waldoboro Cornet Band.

 Municipal Authorities, Citizens. 
 
 The procession proceeded up Main to 
 Church street, up Church to Ehii. down 
 
[4 ] 
 
 1,' 'Main to 
 
 t> ♦'Elm to Main,' 'Main to ^-Glidden,' Glidden to 
 Back, Back to Main to*Lincoln Hall. 
 
 The decorations along the line of the 
 route were quite profuse. Band Hall, some 
 of the places of business and residences very 
 generally, displayed the red, white and 
 blue. Large flags were flying from the 
 Massasoit and Taniscot Go's, houses, 
 Lincoln Block, stretched from Metcalf s to 
 Maine Hotel Blocks and from every vessel 
 in the river. 
 
 A salute of 37 guns was fired at noon ; 
 the church bells were rung from 12 to 1 
 o'clock. 
 
 The music during the day was excellent, 
 both Bands did themselves credit, and 
 were frequently commended for their fine 
 appearance. 
 
 Exercises in Lincoln Hall were delayed 
 and the meeting was not called to order 
 until 2.10 P. M. But as early as 1 o'clock 
 the hall was crowded with people who had 
 gathered to hear the exercises. 
 
 The meeting was called to ordf^r by Wm. 
 H. Hilton Esq., who named Hon. E. W. 
 Farley for President. Mr. Farlej' then as- 
 cended the platform, and after a few well 
 chosen remarks full of patriotism and 
 abounding in high admiration for the insti- 
 tutions of this country, the exercises contin- 
 ued as follows : 
 
 1. Overture by the Damariscotta Brass 
 Band ; 2. Prayer by Rev. H. Crocker ; 3. 
 Reading of the Declaration of Independence 
 by Mr. E. E. Dunbar; Gen. James A. Hall 
 then gave a brief Historic Sketch of New- 
 castle and Damariscotta which, owing to the 
 lateness of the hour, he did not finish. (Si^ 
 ^itdiiliiiiijij'il" i^lVtJii'ni pilrt m this^nutTl ^r.) 
 The exercises closed with the hymn, 
 "America," by the Band and audience. 
 After vociferous cheering for Gen. Washing" 
 ton, the ladies, the Band, and a vote of 
 thanks to Gen. Hall, the meeting adjourned, 
 as Mr. Farley humorously added, "to meet 
 in one hundred years to celebrate the two 
 hundredth anniversary of the United 
 States." 
 
 At 3 P. M., in the rear of Maine Hotel, 
 the greased pole and pig drew_ the crowd. 
 
 The treacherous pole could not be scaled, 
 although many attempts were made which 
 kept the lookers-on in a continual up-roar. 
 Piggy had the appearance of having be en 
 "tried out." He was pursued up Elm street 
 by an army of eager contestants, and captur- 
 ed by Frank Jepson. 
 
 The trial of ^fire engines was interfered 
 with by a shower of about an hours duration. 
 Between 5 and 6 o'clock the sun again burst 
 forth. The Triumphs of Waldoboro, the 
 Massasoits of Damariscotta, Taniscots of 
 Newcastle contested. The result was : 
 Triumphs threw 178 ft. 10 in., Massasoits 
 178 ft. 8 in. The Taniscots broke their 
 machine before they got underway. The 
 prize, a silver trumpet, was consequently 
 carried off" by the Triumphs. 
 
 The presentation of the Drama "Bread^on 
 the Waters," and an Instrumental Concert 
 by the Damariscotta Band closed the 
 exercises of the day. 
 
 The play passed off very well, as the fre- 
 quent appliiuse from the audience indicated, 
 but whatever "catches" occurred in the per- 
 formance of it must be attributed to' the 
 fatigue of the participants, who at this hour 
 of the day must have felt wearied beyond 
 description. 
 
 The selections by the Band were rendered 
 in the usual spirited and brilliant style of 
 this popular organization. 
 
 The order throughout the whole day was 
 remarkable. There were no disturbances 
 to mar the proceedings. We noticed but 
 one case of drunkenness, and from the 
 locality whence the fellow came it is presum- 
 able he brought his "cheer" with him. The 
 day will long be remembered by those 
 present as a day of pleasure and as an ap- 
 propriate celebration of the one hundredth 
 anniversary of our national existence. 
 
 PRAYEft BY REV. MR. CROCKER. 
 
 Almighty God, thou King eternal, immor- 
 tal, invisible, the only wise God, with sin- 
 cere adoration, devout gratitude and humble 
 petition we look unto thee to-day. In the 
 midst of our rejoicing we wonld not forget 
 Thee, the author of every good. We adore 
 
5 i 
 
 Thee as our great ruler, the God of nations, 
 our rigliteous Lord. With rejoicing we re- 
 view the past of our history to-day, and to 
 Thee we ascj-ibe all the glory. We own thy 
 guiding, guarding hand in all the past. Thou 
 art tlie God of our fathers. They looked un- 
 to Thee for a sanctuary where they might 
 worship Thee without fear, and Thou gavest 
 them here a home. Thou preparedst them 
 a place in the wilderness. When they were 
 few and without strength Tliou wert a 
 shield unto them. When they cried unto 
 Thee, Thou didst hear them. When dan- 
 ger's thickened and the hand of oppression 
 was heavy upon them, then Thou didst de- 
 liver them. Then didst gird them with 
 strengtii. Thou didst lead them forth to bat- 
 tle and <;avest theni the victory. They got 
 not tlie land in possession by their own sword, 
 neither did their own arm save them; but 
 Thy right hand, and Tnine arm, and the 
 light of Thy contenance, because Thou hadst 
 a favor unto them. Thou hast not dealt so 
 with any nation, and as for Thy judgment, 
 Ave have not known them. We thank Thee 
 for Thy great goodness. 
 
 Not for our worthiness, hast Thou done 
 all this, but for Thy mercies sake. Sins and 
 iniquities have been found among us, but 
 Thou hast been long suffering and chastened 
 us only in love. Forgive us we beseech 
 Thee O God for all our past sins, and cleanse 
 us from the evils that now stain us. 
 
 Acknowledging Thy mercy in the past we 
 now bring our loved land unto Thee, and 
 (ledicate it to Thee anew. We crave the 
 continuance ol Tliy blessing. Be Thou to 
 us and to our children as Thou hast been to 
 our Fathers and to us hitherto. Still may 
 Thy banner over us be love. Guard Thou 
 our liberties. Preserve our constitution. 
 Rule Thou in the councils of the nation. 
 Bless those now in authority, and those who 
 shall succeed them. Prosper and multiply 
 our institutions of learning. Smile upon 
 Thy churclies and pour out Thy spirit upon 
 them. Here may Thy truth prevail and the 
 fruits of righteousness abound. So shall 
 we be kept from evil. So shall the future 
 be more glorious than the past, and genera- 
 
 tions yet to come shall praise and iiiagnify 
 Thy holy name. 
 
 And now uhto Thee, Thou blessed and 
 only portentate. The King of kings and 
 Lord of lords; who only hath immortality, 
 dwelling in the light which no man can ap- 
 proach unto ; whom no man hath seen nor 
 can see ; to Thee be honor and power over- 
 asting. Amen. 
 
 HIST<iRICAI. ADDRESS IJV CKN. .T. A. HALI,. 
 
 Fellow Citizens — The territory now consti- 
 tuting the town of Newcastle, was originally 
 contained in the early Sheepscot precinct, 
 while that of Damariscotta was a part of 
 Pemaquid, botii of which precincts were oc- 
 cupied about the same time by the early 
 white settlers. There is no longer any ques- 
 tion but that, as early as 1560, voyagers 
 visited the outlying islands, Monhegan and 
 Uamariscove, and from that time down 
 through succeeding periods, these voyages 
 were repeated, attracted by the excellent 
 fishing there found, until early in the 17th 
 century, 1C02 to 1620, occasional settlement 
 were made upon the main land, at Pomaquid 
 and all the prominent points westward, to 
 the Kennebec river. First gaining a foot- 
 hold upon the islands where greater safety 
 was experienced , then gradually venturing 
 upon the main; so the setilement began. 
 
 Newcastle has a history extending back 
 more than two hundred and twenty-five 
 years, and to tell it in the short space of time 
 we have to-day, is simply an impossibillity. 
 The most I can do, is to hint at its record, 
 and that in a brief abstract form. 
 
 That the soil of that town was among the 
 first ever occupied by white men upon our 
 shores there can be but little doubt. The 
 first settlers of whom we have any account 
 were John Taylor whose possessions em- 
 braced the oyster shell heaps on the west 
 side of the river, and Walter Phillips, whose 
 liouse was on the road just south of where 
 Mr. John McMichael now lives. Taylor's 
 liouse was in the Hopkins field, near the 
 present residence of Mr. John Page (others 
 sav Tavlor's house was near tlie Samuel 
 
[ 6 
 
 (jrlidden house, and Phillips' near wliere the 
 old Newcastle house now stands). 
 
 There is a question as to the exact time 
 of their settlement, but it probably was be- 
 tween 1630 and 1640. In 1623 Levitt visit- 
 ed the Sheepscot waters, and the land in the 
 west part of the town, but his voyage seems 
 to have left no trace in way of settlement. 
 
 Sewall says "Ancient Dominions of 
 Maine" [1634] "From the settlement at 
 Pemaquid, thrift}'^ off-shoots had started 
 along the Damariscotta." The settlement 
 at Sheepscot undoubtedly commenced about 
 the same time with that on our river and 
 continued to increase, although I am unable 
 to give details. 
 
 In 1665, a commission consisting of Col. 
 Richard Nichols, Carr, Cartwright and Mav- 
 erick, assembled at the house of John Ma- 
 son, on the east bankof tlie Sheepscott, and 
 under the jurisdiction of the Duke of York, 
 organized a county to which they gave the 
 name of Cornwall, while the Sheepscott set- 
 tlement was made the shire-town, under the 
 name of New Dartmouth ; thus establishing 
 a dukedom upon what is now the soil of 
 Newcastle. 
 
 As I have said, I am not able to relate 
 the various (Changes from the commence- 
 ment of the white settlement, to the organi- 
 zation of the county of Cornwall, but all ac- 
 counts agree tliat in 1675 the village upon 
 the Sheepscot was a very considerable com- 
 munity, while the highway from that point 
 eastward, was jiopulated with thrifty far- 
 mers. 
 
 During the Indian outrages of 1676, all 
 this was swept away, the inhabitants fleeing 
 from their homes, leaving everything, houses 
 lands, ripening corn and grain, taking their 
 lives in their hands and fleeing westward. 
 In 1682 the return tide of population had be- 
 gan to flow, and the desolate fields of New 
 Dartmouth, were in part re-occupied by 
 original cultivators, who, by an order from 
 government were restored and protected. 
 
 For seven years these people flourished, 
 rebuilt tlie village^and extending their fields ; 
 but returning hostilliies were in store for 
 them, and the bloody massacre of 168i) 
 
 caused them again to flee. Seven j'cars la- 
 ter, 161)6, Major Church, in charge of mili- 
 tary operations visited this region, and with 
 the aid of his efl[icient subordinate officer, 
 Converse, taught the red men some whole- 
 some lessons, and to a certain extent restor- 
 ed peace and quiet, and returning population 
 set in. 
 
 Peace could not long continue, however, 
 for the savages too well saw their approach. 
 ing doom. The building of houses, and 
 work-shops, in short, civilization was the 
 death knell to their idle, useless occipancy, 
 and in their wild natures, they understood 
 that relief could only come through the an- 
 nihilation of the white race. 
 
 From 1698 to 1717, there were constant 
 commotions, and at the latter date it is 
 claimed there was not a white family living 
 upon the land between the Sheepscot and 
 Damariscotta rivers. 
 
 In 1719 population began again to return, 
 and the waste places were again occupied. 
 Michael Thomas, tenant of ChristoiJlier Tap- 
 pan, reoccupied the Walter Phillips' planta- 
 tion, and several families settled along the 
 river, a Mr. Gray and many others, whose 
 names I cannot give. As if they never would 
 be peaceful, the Indians again in 1722 
 scourged all this region and many were kill- 
 ed, among them Mrs. Gray and six children 
 were slain, near what is now known as the 
 Farley fiirm, and Dr. Kenelum Winslow 
 was cajitured, carried to Loud's Island and 
 cruelly slain. 
 
 At this time, the Walter Phillips planta- 
 tion was again reduced to desolation. In 
 1729 under Col. David Dunbar, the region 
 was I'estored to peace and population began 
 to flow in. In 1730 Vaughn came from Mon- 
 hegan to Damariscotta Mills, and began ex- 
 tensive milling operations, and a village 
 soon sprang up. From this date (1730) to 
 t'lie incorporation of the town by its present 
 name, the struggle for population was con- 
 stant and severe. Newcastle as a town by 
 that name, was incorporated in 1753. 
 
 From the records now in the hands of the 
 Town Clerk, I find that at a meeting held 
 March 18, 1755, James Cargill, moderator, 
 
7] 
 
 John Mc'Near was chosen clerk, and Kene- 
 lum Winslow probably son of the Dr. who^ 
 had been killed), Samuel Kennedy and Wil" 
 liam McClalland, were chosen selectmen. If 
 there had been officers chosen for the pre- 
 ceding year, and doubtless there had been, 
 the record does not give their names. 
 
 After the termination of tlie French and 
 Indian war, and the memorable conquest of 
 Quebec by the immortal Wolfe, wliich anni- 
 hilated the jiower of France on this continent 
 such of the Xew England settlements as had 
 gained a foothold advanced in populatior^, 
 Newcastle was not sluggisli in the race. The 
 Sheepscot side took the lead in population ; 
 the farms there, including the Nichols tract, 
 some three miles in length, situated in the 
 * middle of the town, were well adapted for 
 cultivation and sometimes called "the garden 
 of the East." Among the Sheepscot popu- 
 lation, were families distinguished for pa- 
 triotism, industry, and deeply imbued with 
 the religious fervor of those days. The 
 names of Cargill, Woodbridge, Kennedy, 
 Cunningham, Murray, Nickels, Hodge, Wa- 
 ters and Chase^ will readily occur to many 
 of this audience. Their descendants remain 
 to this day, though in some instances the 
 f^iniih' name has died out. The Nickelses 
 were numerous and the largest land-holders 
 in town, but not a single male descendant 
 bearing their name now resides in Newcas- 
 tle; The name of Cargill, for more than a 
 century prominent in town affairs, has dis- 
 appeared. Of the four families called Little 
 represented by four brothers, James, Hen- 
 ry, Samuel and Alexander, residents on the 
 east side of the river, each of wliom iiad nu- 
 . merous children, not a male descendant 
 bearing their name, survives in Newcastle. 
 
 The Cargils, Littles, and probably the 
 Kennedys, Cunninghams, and some others, 
 were of Scotch-Irish descent, a race which 
 generally makes its mark wherever found. 
 Conspicuous in this country, among the 
 tough, wiry and strong-willed inheritors of 
 North of Ireland blood, were Andrew Jack- 
 son, eminent in military and civil life, and 
 George Clinton, for nearly a score of years 
 Governor of tlie great State of New York, 
 
 and afterward.-! Vice President of the United 
 States. Col. James Corgill was a good In- 
 dian fighter. Hating the Indian race most 
 cordially, he did not always discriminate 
 between friends and foes, and on an expedi- 
 tion to the Penobscot Bay, he shot Margaret 
 a friendly squaw, which excited much indig- 
 nation. He was arrested and brought before 
 the Colonial Governor, at Boston. When 
 asked why he had done so great a wrong, he 
 shrewdly replied : "Your Honor should 
 have marked them!" Wiiile at work alone 
 in his saw mill on the mill brook, an Indian 
 suddenly appeared, exclaiming, "Now Col- 
 onel, I have got you ;" but the latter, quick 
 as a flash, gave the red man n back handed 
 blow with the bar he held in his hand and 
 sent him into the mill race below. Col. Car- 
 gill was frequently chosen selectman, mod- 
 erator of town meetings, and representative 
 to the legislature of Massachusetts, of which 
 State, Maine, until 1820, was a portion, and 
 called tlie District of Maine. 
 
 As was almost universally the case with 
 those of Scotch-Irish descent, Col. Cargill 
 was a Presbeterian of the strictest sect, and 
 had a dread of innovations upon the creed 
 of his order, or tlie mode of conducting its 
 church services. So when the bass viol was 
 first introduced in tlie singing choir at the 
 Newcastle meeting house, he abruptly left 
 the meeting. He objected to dancing, and 
 when dancing assemblies were first intro- 
 duced at tiie INIyrick tavern, the venerable 
 old man made his appearance in the ball- 
 room to protest against, and call down the 
 indignation of heaven upon, such an improp- 
 er anmsement as he considered it. 
 
 The young men had tact enough to ap- 
 pease his wrath, and the dance wenton. The 
 liev. Kiali Bayley felt it to be his duty to 
 preach a sermon against this amusement 
 and to print it besides ; but it was of no 
 avail; the young people of that day. like 
 their descendants of this, having taken a 
 notion to dance, dance they would, and 
 dance they did. Col. Cargill died in the 
 early part of this century. During the gi;eat- 
 et part of his life he was probably tlie most 
 prominent citizen of the town. 
 
8 
 
 Bpnjainin "Woodbridgo, the anoostor of 
 tlie Newcastle and Edgecoiub families uf 
 that name, was a native of Ncwbui yport, 
 and a graduffte of Harvard College. He 
 l)iirchascd largely of real estate on the Slicep- 
 scot side and was an important man in town 
 affairs. Samuel Nickels of English descent 
 or "Squire Sam," as he was familiarly call- 
 ed, held the office of town clerk for about 
 forty successive years, and was succeeded 
 by Thomas Cunningham, who discharged 
 the duties for many years. Capt. David ! 
 Murray, grandtather of the late Col. llobert 
 Murray, was one of tlie leading men of the 
 town in his day and generation. In 1787 he ' 
 was chosen a delegate to the famous Massa. 
 chusetts Convention, which met in Boston ' 
 in 1788, tor the purpose of determining 
 whether Massachusetts would ratify and ap- j 
 prove tlie Feileral Constitution which had 
 been framed a short time before by the Fed- 
 eral Convention at Philadelphia. That im. 
 liortant instrument was ratified by Massa- 
 eiiusetts, but not without great paiui-taking 
 and siirewd numagement on the part of its : 
 friends, receiving but nineteen majority in a \ 
 body composed of tlu-ee hundred and fifty- ' 
 five members, and only then, with an ac- 
 companying recommendation to the other 
 States that certain amendments should be 
 added, which in due time was accomplished. 
 
 The town meeting which selected Capt. 
 Murray a delegate, also voted against the 
 Constitution as it then stood, anil he was in- 
 structed to vote against it, unless it could be 
 amended. Notwithstanding the convention 
 recommendied amendments, he voted against 
 it, which subjected him to some criticism. 
 
 During the period to which our attention 
 is directed, as well as before and for many 
 years subsequent, it was made obligatory 
 upon the towns to provide through taxation 
 of their citizens, for die stated preaching of 
 the gospel, and it will be perceived from a 
 perusal of the record, that this important 
 subject attracted much of the attention of 
 the people and occupied much of the time of 
 their town meetings. The first meeting-house 
 probably a rough affair, was located on the 
 Sheepscot side. The next, erected in 1765, 
 was started on a plan of 40x30 feet with 11 
 
 feet studding, and was built in the pasture of 
 Kenelum Winslow, now belonging to Capt. 
 Farley Hopkins, on the hill just north of the 
 residence of Mr. Thaddeus Weeks, and wes- 
 terly of the Barstow house wiiere John Cusic 
 resides. It stood near the highway. The 
 acre of land on which it was built was also 
 used for a burying ground and also for nnli- 
 tary exercises, and notwithstanding the sa- 
 credness of the spot, under tlie influence of 
 military zeal, or Autigua rum, or both, was 
 the scene of frequeui; contests, sometimes 
 resulting in fisticuffs, to determine who was 
 the best man physically. 
 
 The town meetings were more often held 
 at the meeting house at Sheepscot, but when 
 held on the' easterly side, after the erection 
 of the meeting-house on Winslow's hill, were 
 assembled there. The house was abandon- 
 ed in 179G and removed to a spot near where 
 Mr. Artell Hall resides, where it was used 
 as a barn; from there it was removed to near 
 the Myrick tavern : and some dozen years 
 afterwards removed back again apd used as 
 a barn, but finally went the way of old di- 
 lapidated buildings. The erection of houses 
 for public worship and the hiring of clergy- 
 men, were fruitful subjects for discussion. 
 
 The erection of the meeting-house in 1795 
 appears to have answered the public wants 
 for many years, its location being central 
 and accomodating the majority of the fami- 
 lies, who at that time belongeil to one relig- 
 ious denominatit)n. After serving its pur- 
 pose as a meeting-hoiise, it was reduced to 
 one story and converted into a town house, 
 for which purpose it is now used. In 1797 
 the Rev. Kiah Bayley, a native of Newbury- 
 port, and, like Mr. Woodbridge, a Harvard 
 graduate, received a call from the town, af- 
 ter preaching on trial, and was settled for 
 life, as was the custom in those times. He 
 was a man of ability, but straight-laced in 
 his opinions and severe in discipline. He 
 exercised much influence, as did most of his 
 profession at that time similarly settled. 
 
 It has been claimed for him, that he was 
 as instrumental as anyone in the establish- 
 ment of the Bangor Theological Seminary, 
 and it is sometimes related as an instance of 
 his zeal in behalf of that institution, that he 
 
induced a very worthy citizen of the town of 
 Boothbay, to make his will in favor of it. 
 Dying some years after the will was made, 
 and before his wife, it was found that slie 
 would be left without sufficient means of 
 support, if its provisions were carried out. 
 Herfriends presented fictitious claims against 
 the estate, sufficient to sweep it, of which she 
 received the benefit, the Seminary coming 
 out minus. Mr. Bayley according to the 
 fashion of those days, looked sharply after 
 the affairs of his people, temporal as well 
 as spiritual. It has already been remarked 
 that he preached against dancing. He con- 
 sidered it his duty also to preach upon polit- 
 ical subjects, being himself a decided Feder- 
 alist. Alter the declaration of war against 
 Great Britain in 1812, on the occasion of a 
 Fast Day, re commended by President Mad- 
 ison, lie preached a rousing sermon in two 
 parts, covering the forenoon and afternoon 
 services. It was an able presentation of his 
 side of the question, but gave considerable 
 offence to those who differed from him in 
 opinion. It was printed at Hallowell, and 
 copies are probably now extant among some 
 of the older families in Newcastle. 
 
 He has credited to him the appointment 
 of a'religious meeting on a week day, which 
 would unavoidably interfere with a politi- 
 cal meeting with which he did not sympa- 
 thize. Occupying an important post, living 
 at an exciting period, when the religious and 
 political world was vibrating as to opinions 
 and policy, it is not to be wondered at that 
 while he dealt heavy blows right and left, he 
 subjected himself to a fierce opposition. But 
 then, as now, time worked its fhanges. Mr. 
 Bayley had his day of influence and useful- 
 ness ; the time had arrived when it was bet- 
 ter for both sides that the connection between 
 himself and the town should be dissolved, 
 which was effected in 1824, the latter paying 
 him such a sum as was agreed upon by him- 
 
 released it from any further obligations. He 
 had acquired considerable property, which 
 his enemies said was an evidence of his 
 worldliness, an objection frequently urged 
 againsl him. He removed to Vermont where 
 
 he passed the remainder ot his life, attaininf; 
 to great age. He did not lose his interest in 
 his former church and society. Being an 
 ardent Abolitionist, through his correspon- 
 dence he kept those who sympathized with 
 him in opinion on the important subject of 
 slavery, well warmed up on the squestion. 
 
 One who now hears me, recollects that on 
 the occasion of a political meeting at Sheep- 
 scot in 1844, when it was discovered that 
 Parson Bayley, througli his letters to his old 
 friends, was detaching some of the faitliful 
 from their usual political associations, Capt. 
 
 T L— , a leading, but plain-spoken 
 
 citizen, exclaimed: "Well, Mr. Bayley al- 
 ways was an old Britisher!" The connec- 
 tion of Newcastle as a corporation, with re- 
 ligious affairs, was dissolved, when ijs con- 
 tract witii Mr. Bayley was cancelled by mu. 
 tual consent. Tlie Rev. JotRam Sewall Jr. 
 succeeded him as pastoi of the churcli, over 
 which the former had presided for nearly 
 thirty years. Mr. Sewall's society soon erected 
 two meeting-houses, one at Sheepscot, now 
 standing on Garrison hill, the other near 
 the Doctor Myrick place, which is now Mr. 
 Wyman's furniture warehouse, having been 
 removed in 1849 after the erection of the 
 brick edifice, a short time prior to which, 
 the church organization itself was divided, 
 making the 1st and 2nd Congregational 
 churches. During the last 30 years the 
 Methodist and Baptist denominations have 
 largely increa-<ed in town. 
 
 About one hundred years ago, the youth 
 of the town obtained their education, aside 
 from what they received from the families, 
 from some teacher hired by the town, and 
 for the whole town. He probably went into 
 the different neighborhot)ds. The first im- 
 provement upon this, was a teacher for the 
 west side and another for the east. These 
 facts with reference to educational facilities, 
 indicate the great advance which has been 
 
 self and a committee of its citizens, and he peached in our day, as compared witli tlie 
 
 latter part of tiie last century. 
 
 Among the citizens residing on the easter- 
 ly side of the town, about the time of the 
 troubles which culminated in the Revolu- 
 tionary war, were tlie Littles before mention- 
 
10 I 
 
 ed, Tobias Glidden, Benjaiiaii. Bavstow, Sol- 
 omon Dunbar, Nathanifl Bryant, the first of 
 tliat name, KobtM't llobinson. Major John 
 Fark^y, Christopher lioplcins, Joseph Glid- 
 den, the Taylors, Ilusseys, Winslows, 
 Joneses, Teagues and many others. 
 
 The towns bordering upon the Damaris 
 cotta liiver, were originally well wooded, 
 particLilaily Newcastle. Tliere was an abun- 
 dance of white and red oak, as well as other 
 varieties ot hard woods. The wliite pine 
 was found in equal, probably in greater pro- 
 portions. It is safe to say that if the town 
 of Newcastle was as well wooded to-day as 
 100 3'ears since, the aggregate value of the 
 property of her people would be double what 
 it now is. But in all ages the forest gives 
 way as population increases, and there is an 
 iucreased cultivation of the soil. There has 
 however, always been in new countries, a 
 shan eful waste of forest trees. Tiie people 
 of this country are beginning to realize this 
 fact, and before many years elapse, will find 
 it necessary to replenish by seeding or 
 transplanting. The heayy growth of oak 
 and other timber previously in this region) 
 were, it is understood, the principal induce- 
 luents for the ancestors of our shipbuilding 
 families to migrate hitlier, some before, and 
 others after the Jlevolutionary War. 
 
 The Bryants, Woodwards, Stetsons and 
 Barstows, all from the South sliore. The 
 Days from Ipswich. The Gliddens and 
 Ilitchcocks from New Hampshire. Tliese 
 families with many others of a later date, in 
 the same line of business, have contributed 
 very much to make our village and the two 
 towns what they are. 
 
 Nathaniel Bryant tlie 1st, came her^ be- 
 fore the Revolution and settled upon the 
 farm where William H. Robinson resides, 
 where he erected buildings and built a wharf 
 the remains of which are now to be seen. 
 lie died i.i 1772. The present Nathaniel 
 Bryant, is of the fourth generation, with the 
 same christian name. Nathaniel Bryant 
 the 2d, commenced his business career at 
 the farm left by his father, removing after- 
 wards to the Mills village, and to the head 
 of Damariscotta pond. . 
 
 Benjamin Barstow, like the first Bryant, 
 was a ship carpenter. He resided on the farm 
 where Mr. Alden B. Wliite now resides. He 
 was the father of Col. George Barstow, who 
 built the house next north of the residence 
 of Mr. Thaddeus Weeks. Col. Barstow 
 built a good many vessels for Salem mer- 
 chants, in what is now Bryant's brick-yard. 
 
 Joseph Glidden, the ancestor of the nu- 
 merous and enterprising Glidden family, and 
 grandfather of the late Col. John Glidden, 
 came here from New Hampshire, as early as 
 1750. His name appears in the town records 
 of Newcastle soon after that time. He pur- 
 chased what used to be known as the Glid- 
 den farm, containing one of the best tracts 
 in town, embracing the mountain north of 
 the Academy, and extending northeasterly 
 over what is now Glidden street and the 
 farm occupied by Dea. Charles Metcalf. 
 
 Early in this century, vessels were built 
 on the Glidden farm, about seventy-five rods 
 northeasterly from Mr. Metcalf's house, by 
 some of the Glidden family. When ship 
 building revived in 1821, as the county re- 
 covered from the effects of the war of 1812, 
 and other unfavorable causes, Col. John 
 Glidden, known personaly to many of you, 
 entered upon his long career as a ship build- 
 er, which gave a reputation to this river. 
 Others of similar enterprise, soon after en- 
 gaged in the same pursuit. Those were the 
 palmy days of cotton cfirrying out of which 
 were laid the foundation of many of the best 
 fortunes in Maine. It is not proposed in 
 this sketch to dwell particularly upon the 
 men or events connected with the history of 
 these towns, which belong to the present 
 time. They are familiar to all. There is 
 enough of interest connected with the past 
 and but little known to the present genera- 
 tion. 
 
 Among the prominent citizens of seventy- 
 five years ago, was Col. Paul Dodge, who 
 ^served under Washington, in the war of the 
 Revolution. He came here from Hamilton, 
 Massachusetts, after peace, and reared a 
 large family. Kenelum Winslow and his 
 brothers once owned the Barstow farm and 
 the farm next south of it, upon which Major 
 
[11 ] 
 
 John Farley, resided. Winslow command- 
 ed the garrison, wliich stood just above and 
 westerly of the ancient burying ground in 
 Mr. Weeks field, near the house of Mr. 
 Francis. 1 man by tlie name of Kackliffe, 
 resided in the neighborhood and was fre- 
 quently witii Winslow at the garrison. 
 
 On one occasion, when they were absent 
 and only three wonjen in charge (one of 
 them Mrs. Winslow a womon of nerve,) 
 the Indians made their appearance and com- 
 menced an attack. In order to make the 
 Indians tiiink the garrison was not destitute 
 of men, Mrs. Winslow would exclaim, 
 "courage Kenelum fire away Rackliffe." 
 
 Among the revolutionary soldiers was 
 Ca.pt. Ephraim Taylor. He was made of 
 the true blue fighting material. He enlisted 
 at the age of 17 years, served through the 
 entire war, being the first man, it is said, 
 from the district of Maine, who was made 
 an Ensign and carried a flag. He was at 
 We^t Point at the execution of Major John 
 Andre, Adjutant General of the Biitish 
 Army, arrested as a spy within the Ameri'^an 
 lines. 
 
 Major John Farley of English descent, 
 was an active man in town and State afl:airs. 
 He was a tanner by trade, and a son of 
 Gen. Michael Farley, of Ipswich, Mass., 
 also a tanner. His wife, was Sarah Dennis 
 of Ipswich, a sister of David Dennis, of 
 Nobleboro, who died in Oct. IS^S, aged 92 
 Squire Dennis, as he was called, came here 
 before his brothtr-in-law, who removed here 
 from Ipsvrich in 1772 or 1773, and was 
 probably attracted, by the prospect of 
 cairying on iiis trade to advantage, there 
 being no tanner in the neighborhood, and 
 hemlock bark being abundant. He first 
 lived in a small house, the cellar of which 
 is still very distinct on the side of tlie hill 
 near the wall and directly west of the house 
 occupied by Mr. John McMicliael. 
 
 In 1780 he built the house in which Mrs. 
 TurnbuU resides, which is one of the oldest 
 in town, beiag 96 years old. Major Farley, 
 was of fine personal appearance, pleasant 
 manners, and a social, kind hearted-man. 
 He lived well, kept open iiouse and never 
 
 denied a poor man in need of the leather he 
 manufactured. He was a Liberal in religion 
 and politics. His traits of character and 
 habits of life, made him a popular man, and 
 the frequency with which he held oflSce, 
 would indicate that it was agreeable to him. 
 He was town treasurer, thirty out of the forty 
 years he lived in Newcastle. He was twice 
 chosen county treasurer and fourteen times 
 elected a representative to the Legislature 
 of Massachusetts. He served in the State 
 senate. He was elected a Presidential elec- 
 tor in 1804 when Massachusetts voted for 
 Tl omas Jefferson. He was appointed by 
 the war department, to superintend the 
 erection of the fort, on Narrow's Island, 
 .near the mouth of the Damariscotta river 
 in 1804. He was the first Postmaster in 
 Newcastle, appointed for the east side of the 
 town, keeping the office at his house, the 
 travel at that time passing that way. He 
 continued Postmaster until his death in 
 1812, when Mr. John Glidden, the father of 
 Capt. William T. Glidden was apppinted. 
 He wasinLovell and Wadswortlis expedition 
 in 1779, for the capture of Castine (then 
 called Bygaduce) the forces from Lincoln 
 county, embarking at Boothbay. It is 
 probable, that he was in Col. Cargill's regi- 
 ment, who on that or some other occasion, 
 
 said he meant to have that d Farley, 
 
 cashiered. A Fourth of July Toast, written 
 upon a blank leaf of Major Farley's ledger, 
 will answer for this or any similar day. It 
 was as follows: "Tight shoes, poor 
 stomachs and empty pockets to the enemies 
 of our republican institutions." Mr- 
 Nathaniel Webb, of Boston, came to New- 
 castle shortly after the llevolutionary war, 
 through all of which he served. He was 
 father of Mr. Ebenezer Webb who was born 
 in 1789, and died last year aged 8G years. 
 He was grandfather of the Kev. Dr. Webl) 
 of Boston. 
 
 James Jvavanagh and Mathew Cottrill, 
 leaving Ireland poor boys, landed first at 
 New Foundland ; they next proceeded to 
 Boston ; thence to Round Pond in Bristol 
 and from thence to this village, on the 
 Damariscotta side about the vear 1791, 
 
[12 ] 
 
 building up a tliriving export trade and 
 and accumulating property. In a tew years 
 Mr. Kavanagli, who was the father of the 
 Governor Kavanagli, removed to the Mills 
 village where in 1803 he erected the man- 
 sion now occupied by Miss Winnefred 
 Kavanagh, which is much admired as a fine 
 specimen of house architecture. It archi- 
 tect was one Nicholas Cod an Englishman. 
 
 The Cottrill manson, now owned by Capt. 
 Lawrence, was built in 1807. Kavanagli 
 and Cottrill being Catholics, they became 
 the nucleus for the formation of the Catholic 
 society, which worships at St. Patricks 
 chapel at the Mills village, which was erect- 
 ed in 180G, and dedecated by Bishop, after- 
 wards Cardinal Chevereux. It was the first, 
 or among the first Catholic churches estab" 
 lished in Maine. Bishop Chevereux's 
 missionary ground embraced the whole of 
 New England. It was tiirougli his exertions 
 that tiie Cathedral which formerly stood in 
 Franklin St. Boston was erected, and in 
 that city he was highly respected by all 
 classes of people. 
 
 An exceedingly interesting sketch of 
 Bishop Chevereux, from the pen of the late 
 John H. Sheppard was published in the 
 Seaside Oracle, about two years since. 
 Visiting a friend in New York, just prior to 
 embarking the last time for England, point- 
 ing to his small hand liag of clothes, he re- 
 marked that it contained all his worldly 
 I)ossesions. 
 
 The tavern house kept by Doctor Josiah 
 Myrick, the first years in the century was 
 a noted head quarter for travelers, who 
 appreciated good fare and a good bed. In 
 its best days, no establishment about here 
 was kept in better condition. The old 
 Damariscotta toll bridge deserves a slight 
 notice on this centennial occasion. It was 
 with difficulty the means could be obtained 
 to bridge the river at this vilage. In those 
 days the bridging of important streams was 
 left to individual enterprise through acts nf in- 
 corporation, granting the power to build and 
 conferring the right to take toll. Population 
 being scattered towns did not feel able to 
 make such improvements, and they were 
 
 left to the public spirit of individuals in the 
 locality especially interested. Under an 
 act of the Massachusetts legislature of 
 March 10th 1797, John Farley, Waterman 
 Thomas, William McCobb, James Kav- 
 anagh and Mathew Cottrill, with their as- 
 sociates were empowered to erect a bridge 
 over the Damariscotta river. They succeed- 
 ed in accomplishing it and the bridge was 
 opened tor travel, probably in 1801. It was 
 an event of almost as much importance to 
 those then upon tiie stage of action, as the 
 opening of the Knox & Lincoln railroad was 
 to their descendants. It was an excuse fbr 
 a good time. A procession was formed 
 which marched to the music of a fife and 
 drum to the Myrick tavern, whether to get 
 "something to take," according to tlie 
 fashion of that day does not satisfactorily 
 appear, but it is not uncharitable to suppose 
 that such was the object. The proprietors 
 of the bridge paid for the fifeing. An old 
 treasurer's book contains the charge of, 
 "paid Kinsley Jones, six shillings for his 
 son fifeing at the opening of the bridge." 
 The increase of population and of business 
 warranting a free bridge, in 1851 the old 
 structure gave way to another which in its 
 turn, has been replaced by the one which 
 now connects the two villages. 
 
 The Lincoln Academy, the name by which 
 it is designated in its charter, is almost an 
 institution of the town of Newcastle, al- 
 though when chartered it was, as its name 
 indicates, intended to provide the advanta- 
 ges of an academical education for the whole 
 county of Lincoln, then five times as large 
 as it now is, there being perhaps at that 
 time no otlier within its limits. The Board 
 of Trustees named in its charter included 
 citizens representing eight towns, among 
 them Gen. Knox of Thomaston and Moses 
 Carleton of New Milford, now Alna 
 
 It was granted by tiie Massacliusett Legis- 
 lature of 1801, of which Major Farley was a 
 member. The 8th section of its charter 
 provided "That it the said Trustees of the 
 said Academy shall, within three years of 
 the passing of this Act, furnish evidence to 
 this court, that tSSSJJs^ are secured to the use 
 
 '^"'^^^^vv.C^ 
 
13 ] 
 
 of said Academy by private donation or other- 
 wise, to tlie amount of tliree iliousand dol- 
 lars, tiie said Trustees, siiall then be entitled 
 to a grant of half a township of land, from 
 this Commonwealth, for the use and support 
 of said Academy." It appears thattlie three 
 thousand dollars was received by private 
 subscription, in quite a number of towns in 
 this part of the County of Lincoln. An 
 acadeujy building was erected near the 
 dwelliBg house of tlie lafb,, Richard Bailey, 
 at tlie turn of the road, which then led 
 towards Wiscasset. The grant of iialfa 
 township of land was then made by llie leg- 
 islature, for which, soon afterwards, ' was 
 substituted in lieu thereof, the grant of what 
 was called the "gore," situate between the 
 Plymouth and Waldo patents, embracing 
 quite a portion of the territories ot wiiat now 
 constitutes tiie towns of VVashingtcm and 
 Somerville. 
 
 Parson Bayley had a good deal to do with 
 tiie organization of the institution and its 
 subsequent management so long as lie re- 
 mained in Newcastle, but not alwa^'s to its 
 advantage. He resided at the time in tlie 
 iiouse now occupied by Dea. John Glidden, 
 and was anxious that its Academy building 
 should be located where it was first erected, 
 so as to be under his immediate supervision. 
 Major Farley tliought it should be on the 
 Winslow hill where the meeting-house stood, 
 wliich had been removed as before mention- 
 ed, considering it a more eligible site, being 
 nearer tiie village, which was beginning to 
 start into life, under the influence of traflSc 
 and ship-building. Mr. Bayley carried his 
 point in that instance. 
 
 Unfortunately, the first secretary's books 
 containing a record of the meetings of tlie 
 trustees and another volume which contain- 
 ed the names of the earlier students, were 
 lost in the great fire which nearly destroyed 
 this village in 184:5. It is believed that the 
 Academy building was first opened in 1803, 
 and in that the school was continued with 
 varied success, until 1829, when the present ' 
 Academy building, just then completed, was 
 substituted, the first having been destroyed 
 by fire in tlie winter of 1828. Tiie older ' 
 
 portion of liie present building ws.s paid for 
 out of piivate subscriptions which were lib- 
 erally made, .mainly by citizens of Newcas- 
 tle, Damariscotta and Bristol. This mode 
 of securijig the new building was adopted so 
 as not to impair tlie funds of the institution 
 for maintaining the school. The present 
 Academy was located where it stands, to ac- 
 commodate the population as it was tiien sit- 
 uated, Damariscdtta Mills at that time being 
 almost equal to this village in numbers and 
 business, besides furnishing a good many 
 scholars. 
 
 There are some wliom I address whose ed- 
 ucation was obtained, in part at least, at the 
 first Academy building and many more who 
 are familiar witli the present. Out of the 
 wiiole number of students who liave gradua- 
 ted at tlie Lincoln Academy, and tliey art- 
 reckoned by thousands, she has rej.resenta- 
 tives in every part of the country and in all 
 pursuits of lite. The lands comprising tlie 
 Gore were sold as rapidly as practicable, and 
 after the retirement of Mr. Bayley, who was 
 treasurer, as well as secretary of the trus- 
 tees for many years, the policy of convert- 
 ing the proceeds into interest paying securi- 
 ties was adopted. He was succeeded as 
 treasurer by Mr. Ebenezer Farley, by whom 
 tiie larger portion of the lands were dispos- 
 ed of and tlic proceeds funded. He was suc- 
 ceeded in tlie same office by Mr. Ebenezer 
 D. Robinson, one of the most substantial and 
 useful citizens Newcastle has ever had. Mr. 
 Joseph Haines is its present treasurer, dis- 
 charging his duties witli intelligence and 
 scrupulous fidelity.

 But little is known of tlie preceptors com- 
 prising the first nine, and down to the acces- 
 sion of Mr. Bradford. The tradition as to 
 Mr. Beeman, the second on tne list, is that 
 he was a young man of ability, with plenty 
 of temper and high-toned in his religion and 
 politics. He was injudicious in the inflic. 
 tion of punisliment upon a promising young 
 lady of the school, a daughter of one of the 
 Newcastle citizens of Scotch-Irish descent, 
 from whom he barely escaped a caning. Dr. 
 
 Beeman became eminent as a divine, and 
 was settled in a large town in the State of 
 New York. He early preached anti-slavery 
 sermons and it is recollected that some of 
 the newspapers retorted by reminding him 
 that he had married a southern lady whose 
 property was in slaves of which he was hav- 
 ing the benefit. 
 
 Others of the early preceptors have un- 
 doubtedly passed the bourne, whence no 
 traveller rcturn.s^Vnhile the career of many 
 of the others who are living is known to 
 most of yon, it is fitting that Mr. Thurlow, 
 who now has charge of the instution should 
 not be dismissed from your attention, by 
 j simply an allusion to his name, but, that 
 one and all we should concede to him the 
 distinction of being the most successful of 
 all its preceptors, and tender to him our 
 earnest hopes, that he may sustain in the 
 future, so long as he continues a teacher, 
 tlie reputation he now enjoys. Mr. Thur- 
 low took ciiarge of the Academy at its 
 Spring term in 1863, with only 39 scholars ; 
 since then the average per term has been 
 not far from 82 scholars. The Academy 
 building and grounds were much etdargcd 
 in 18G(!, and tlie school now ranks among 
 the first of its class, in the State of Maine. 
 Owing to tlie establishment of High schools 
 in some of tlie larger towns during the past 
 25 years, the supply of scholars is princi- 
 pally from this vicinity, and citizens of 
 Newcastle and Damariscotta, may congratu- 
 late themselves, that they have the facilities 
 of a good school in their midst, in which 
 their children may obtain a good education 
 without the risk and expense attendant upon 
 sending them from home. 
 
 The future success of "The Lincoln 
 Academy," dejiends, firstly, upon the main- 
 tenance of its funded property, as it cannot 
 secure efficient teachers without an income; 
 and secondly, in obtaining such, whatever 
 their qualifications may be, whose purpose 
 is to make teaching a profession. If I have 
 dwplt too longupon "The Lincoln Academy' 
 my apology is, the important relations it 
 holds to tlie community, and the opportun- 
 ity presented ^'or offering the costless tribute 
 
I 15 
 
 of simple justice, to some of the earlier 
 trustees, who carefully guarded its property 
 and devoted their best energies to its suc- 
 cess. 
 
 The original book of record of Newcastle 
 to which allusion has been made, is wonder- 
 fully well preserved, but it will not always 
 last and remain legible; Jand as a matter of 
 town pride, it would seem some means 
 should be promptly taken, to transfer this 
 valuable information into printed, or other 
 form, where there would be less danger of 
 its becoming extinct. 
 
 You have a town the soil of which has 
 been occupied for more than two and a 
 quarter centuries with a well kept record of 
 nearly one hundred and twenty-five years. 
 I can not to-day do your history even a 
 shadow of justice, but I can recommend to 
 the people of so noble an ancestry, with a 
 record so illustrious, that they see to it that 
 their history be prepared by some careful, 
 well informed mind, ere it shall be too late 
 to record even what now may be known. 
 There are many circumstances, as well as 
 individuals of the present time highly worthy 
 of mention, but our purpose is to leave both 
 untouched from want of time. 
 
 The story of Damariscotta as a town, is 
 much more easily told. Orignally a part of 
 Nobleboro and Bristol, it was inooporated 
 July 26, 1847, the first meeting for choice 
 of officers being held, March 15th, 1848, 
 when D. R. Clapp was chosen clerk ; David 
 (^ vv-,^ Dennis, Dand - T . Weeks, and Joseph T. 
 Huston, Selectmen and Joshua Hilton, 
 Treasurer. 
 
 The commencement of the occupation of 
 the soil is parallel with, that of Newcastle. 
 It was, as already stated a part of the Pem- 
 aquid precinct, and contained in the pur- 
 chase made by John Brown of New Harbor, 
 from the Indian Samoset, July 15, 1^25, 
 probably the first conveyance of land ever 
 made by an Indian to a white man. The 
 price paid by Brown for what comprises 
 Bristol and Damariscotta, was fifty beavers 
 skins. The deed was recorded nearly one 
 hundred years later, at Charlestown, Mass. 
 
 The first settlers of whom we have an 
 
 (p 
 
 account, were John Brown, son of the man 
 of the same name at New Harbor, who 
 lived not fnv from wliere this buikling 
 stands, and Robert Scott who lived on tlie 
 east side of the river, opposite the oyster 
 banks. 
 
 They settled contemporaneously witli Tay- 
 lor and Phillips, on the otlier side of tlie 
 river, and were driven awa^ by tlie Indians 
 at the same time. What we have shown in 
 relation to the fluctuations, of prosperity 
 and hardships in Newcastle, were true of 
 the inliabitants on this side as well. Sept. 
 'Jtli, 1C97 was fought the battle of Damaris- 
 cotta, a sanguinary and bloody conflict, be- 
 tween the troops of Major March -and the 
 Indians. It was probably fou^^'ht between 
 Hall's point and McClurc's landing, and 
 was the closing scene in King William's 
 war. 
 
 In 1722 tlie Huston family at Walpole was 
 destroyed. The mother and daughter were 
 slain, and the father carried away into cap- 
 tivity. This was at the same time that Mrs. 
 Gray and children, and Dr. Winslow were 
 killed. During the first hundred years, 
 this region was three times occupied and 
 three times depopulated, so that in 1727 *t 
 is said, between the Kennebec and St. 
 George rivers, there were not more tlian 
 one hundred and fifty families. 
 
 In 1729 a re-settlement of the country be- 
 gan, George the Second being upon the 
 throne of England, sent out that most ex- 
 
 /I 
 
 cellent soldier and accomplished officer, 'J 
 
 Col. ^^jmiet— Dunbar, with a commission ^s^*^ 
 from tlie Crown of England, as Surveyor 
 General of the Kings woods, and Governor 
 ol Sagadahoc. Making iiis liead quarters at 
 Pemaquid, Col. D. with great skill and 
 much credit set himself to work to bring 
 about a reoccupancy of the country, and to 
 restore the waste places. It is exceedingly 
 difficult to fix the date when the permanent 
 settlement began, but we have good reason 
 to believe it wa,s when Dunbar took com- 
 mand. 
 
 One of the very first permanent settlers, 
 whose descendants now live in town, was 
 Mr. Anthony Chapman, who built a log 
 
[ 16 
 
 iiouf^e wlicrc Mrs. Samuel Metcalf now lives 
 He afterwards built a house, and lived upon 
 the farm now owned by Mr. ,Ducan Chap- 
 man, and finally went to Back Meadow, and 
 settled where Mr. John Sanl)()rn resided, 
 wiiere lie took up a large tract of land which 
 was occuhied lati-r hy hi< sons. Four 
 nephews of Mr. CJhapman, John, Israel, 
 Johnathan and Nathaniel Cliapnian, came 
 here some time afterwards. Nathaniel 
 bought a tract of land of a Mr. Moulton, 
 which Moulton liad purchased of John 
 Brown. His land comprised the principle 
 site of the pre.sent village. He built the 
 Tilden Hall house in IZo-i, which he afiei- 
 wards sold to his brother Israel, and built 
 the house long occupied by his son Israel, 
 and now owned by Mr. John Moody. The 
 Mrs. Rufus Miller house built by Mr. 
 Church, the Reuben Chapman house built 
 by Natlianiel Chapman* brother John, and 
 the old C impbell house built by Mr. Stej^ien 
 Hodgdon, are alt more than one hundred 
 years old. 
 
 Mr. Benjamin Day settled south of 
 Nathaniel Chapman, and Stephen Hodgdon 
 on the north side of his land, the three then 
 owning .all the territory in, above and below 
 the present village. Soon after we find the 
 names, Huston, Hussey, Jones, Miller, 
 Church, Woodward, Cox, Hiscock and 
 Knowlton appearing in town affairs. 
 
 In the Revolutioaary war the inhabitants 
 took an active part, and among the soldiers 
 we find the names of Knowlton, Chamber- 
 lain, Day, Chapman (sevral), Huston, 
 Hiscock, Church, AVoodward, Cripps, 
 Hodgdon, Miller, &c. 
 
 Col. William Jones and his son Robert, 
 were also soldiers at that time. The former 
 was also a representative several times to 
 the Massachusetts legislature, being a 
 member in 1788 when the question of ratify- 
 ing the federal constitution was acted upon, 
 and he like many others felt it his duty to 
 vote against it as it then stood. In 1812 
 Col. Robert Day and Capt. Richard Hiscock 
 were active soldiers as well as many others 
 of this section. There was a company in 
 this village of men not subject to military 
 
 duty, of which Mathew Cottrill was Captain, 
 Nathaniel Bryant, Lieutenant, and James 
 Kavanagh ensign. 
 
 A mong the pioneers in ship building the 
 great and prominent business of this region, 
 was Samuel Woodward, who built upon the 
 shore of the farm ol the late Capt. John 
 Woodward, Mr. Jones at the shore of the 
 Jones farm, Mr. Church whose ship-yard 
 was where the tannery of Mr. James Hussey 
 now stands. 
 
 Abner Stetson,- father of the present Hon. 
 Abner Stetson who built at shore of the 
 Stetson farm. Abner Stetson the 1st and 
 William Metcalf, father of the Ii«n. B. D. 
 Metcalf both came from Massachusetts in 
 about 1790. Two families came from Eng- 
 land to Massachusetts, one named Day the 
 other Knight. Of this family was the 
 Benjamin l)ay who settled south of Nathan- 
 iel Chapman. His wife was a daughter of 
 the original Mr. Knight, thus Day and [K] 
 night were reunited. Hon. B. D. Metcalf's 
 mother was a child of the union. Mr. 
 Daniel Hiscock built vessels on the shore 
 of the farm now owned by the present 
 Daniel Hitchcock, and further northward 
 Benjamin Plummer also carried on the same 
 business. 
 
 Later and among those who have deceased 
 who followed this industry, were Joseph and 
 Daniel Day, Col. Cyrus Cotter, and more 
 recently J. G. Huston, Col. William Hitch- 
 cock, John Campbell, Natlianiel Clapp and 
 Elbridge Norris, all of whom., were worthy 
 respected citizens and did much for the 
 town in which they lived. We have with us 
 to-day several who have long and success- • 
 fully followed, this branch of business. 
 Among them Hon. Abner Stetson, Hon. B. 
 D. Metcalf, Nathaniel Austin, D. W. Chap- 
 man, T. J. Merrill, Joel Huston, C. G. 
 M^rry on this side of the river, anil Major 
 Edwin Flye, Mr. A. S. Austin, Alexander 
 Teague, Austin Hall, Capt. Addison Austin 
 Eben Haggett, upon the Newcastle side, be- 
 sides many others who have more recently 
 taken up thebusiness. Our highly esteemed 
 citizen of Newcastle, Mr. George W. Tukey, 
 who, to-day lies at the point of death, was 
 
17 
 
 as you well know for many years an active 
 member of the firm of William Hitchcock 
 & Co. ship builders. 
 
 Following Kavanagh and Cottrill, in 
 mercantile pursuits, were Mr. Stephen 
 CoflBia, who came liere Irom Buxton, Me., 
 Col. Joel Howe from who did an ex- 
 
 tensive business for years, Mr. Jennings 
 and several others. Col. Jacob Harring- 
 ton, Theron Harrmgton's fatiier, for many 
 years carried on the business of hat manu- 
 facturing. He was a highly respected citizen. 
 Mr. Daniel T. Weeks kindly remembered 
 and highly respected by us all, was for many 
 years successfully engaged in tlie harness 
 and -livery business. Another profession, 
 that of sliip master, has been followed by a 
 large number of our citizens on both sides 
 tlie river, many of whom have been dis- 
 tinguished and successful. 
 
 Ttie Methodist church was organized in 
 1838, and the old meeting house built near 
 Abner Stetson's former residence, where it 
 stood until 1842, when it was moved to the 
 site of the present church. In 1853 the 
 new Methodist house was erected. The 
 Baptist clmrch was organized in 1819, and 
 the present meeting house built in 1841. 
 Botii these churches have an exceedingly 
 interesting record. Like Newcastle you 
 have a history w'orth perpetuating, but it 
 cannot be placed l)efore you in a few short 
 minutes. Damariscotta was the name given 
 to the reigon on botli sides the river, by tlie 
 Indians, and means, "A place of many 
 fishes," or "A place where little fishes go." 
 It has an unwritten history. It presents to 
 us features and suppositions proving oc- 
 cupancy of which even tradition gives us no 
 satisfactory account. Probably we are not 
 only inhabitants of a soil, which was 
 occupied at the beginning of a white settle- 
 ment, in the conmicncement of tlie seven- 
 teenth century, but around and above this 
 territory cluster signs, which have caused 
 the wisest explorers and liistorians to 
 wonder at what they beheld. 
 
 How little we know of the past ages, that 
 have swept over this continent. From our 
 ancestors as well as the record we are ac- 
 
 quainted with, that race of beings that our 
 forefathers found here, the race which is 
 now driven ahuost to the going down of the 
 sun. The race whose savage natures made 
 this region once to resound with the war- 
 hoop, mingled with the groans and shrieks ' 
 of innocent women and helpless children, 
 that race which delighted in the lurid flames 
 of burning dwellings, ard received chief 
 satisfaction from brutal treatment ot a 
 superior manhood, that race which clung so 
 tenaciously to the soil we now occupy, and 
 to obtain which cost the pioneer generations 
 of hardship, toil and suffering; but wiiat 
 know we of the people who occupied this 
 land before the red man? Beyond them all 
 is mist, and we have not the vision with 
 which to penetrate that period. But the 
 mind will wonder nevertheless, and imagin- 
 ation will soar, and so we let them bask in 
 tlie enchanting supposition, that long before 
 the Indians, a race of people occupied these 
 lands, a people who were acquainted with 
 letters, a people who were highly cultivated 
 and civilized, a people who were skilled in 
 art and sciences, who had their churches, 
 their school-houses, their ships, their work 
 shops, their dwellings, a people who by 
 their genius, enterprise and public spirit 
 caused the water of your river which to-day 
 flows with mighty power to no purpose what- 
 ever, save to lull to sleep at noon day tlie 
 surrounding inhabitants; to drive the wheels 
 of vast machinery where if nothing else was 
 accomplished, we trust what corn the resi- 
 dents of this village consumed was ground, 
 and not hauled to Damariscotta Mills as it 
 is in this centennial year of 1870. 
 
 What of tliat people? Who were they 
 and from whence did they come? How long 
 possessed they this country, and by wiiat 
 scenes of war, massacre and blood shed 
 were they swept away? This I hear you say, 
 is but idle fancy and speculation, but who 
 can say it is not a reality. There are many 
 things told me in these days, which I find it 
 much harder to believe, than that this land 
 was in the ages beyond any traditional ac- 
 coufit so occupied, and that this very locality 
 or near here, as the seat of a magnificent 
 
\ 18 
 
 om])ir('. 
 
 Now my friends I will relieve your patience 
 after a moment, in relation to the day we 
 celebrate. American Independence was born 
 ^mc hundred years ago this very day. God 
 grant it may stand one hundredyears hence, 
 and that during- the next century our 
 posterity may iiHprove where we have failed, 
 be wise wliere we have lacked wisdom, just, 
 where we have been exacting, peaceful, 
 where we have been warlike, virtuous, where 
 we havebeen sinful, generous, where we have 
 been selfish, charitable, where we have been 
 wanting in charity, and may the next one 
 hundred years find this land a reunited, 
 prosperous and happy people, loyal to God 
 and their country, and every man striving 
 to deal justly with his fellow beings. 
 
 Finally if I have succeeded in impressing 
 
 upon your minds the fact that you have a 
 history worthy of being perpetuated, my 
 whole purpose will have been accomplished. 
 In these few moments, I certainly could not 
 hope to do more. I have been greatly aided 
 by reference to Sewall's, "Ancient Domin- 
 ions of Maine," Johnston's "Bristol, Bremen 
 and Pemaquid," and am under many obliga- 
 tions tor valuable assistance from many 
 citizens, among them Mr. Albert Gliilden, 
 Mr. Duncan Chapman. Hon. B. D. Metcalf 
 and most emphatically am I indebted to the 
 Hon. E. W. Farley for all of which, my 
 warmest thanks are tims publicly bestowed. 
 May you all live long and prosper, and 
 one hundred years from to-day may our 
 descendants gatiier here, and reap the bless- 
 ings of something we may have accomplisii- 
 ed for good while upon the stage of life.
