List of Early Settlers from Land Office Field Notes at Maine State Archives

Maine State Archives:2117-0109 Misc. Box #3 Folder #1 Vol. 7 pp. 1-4

I was informed by Mr. Thomas W. Beckworth whom I found residing in Letter G 2d range, that there were also six other families living in that township, two of the name of Bradley, one Arnold, and the other names I do not recollect. I did not see or hear of any others residing on any of the undivided townships, but a number of beginnings had been made with that view the first season, and they did not claim under the British.      Dec. 1825   (signed) Joseph Norris
