HISTORY OF GARLAND MAINE, by Lyndon Oak, page 87, 88, 89.
    FIRST WINTER SCHOOL
    The first summer school in the township, taught by Miss Nancy Gordon, in Joseph Garland's barn, has been noticed. The following winter William Mitchell, then residing in Elkinstown (Dexter), taught school in Joseph Garland's house, which occupied the site of the present residence of David Dearborn. The school embraced scholars of all ages from all parts of the township. Several persons who had passed the limit of school age attended it.
    It was a school of respectable numbers. Mr. Mitchell had been a student in the old academy at Gilmantown, NH. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence for the times. He was original in methods, abrupt in manners and stern in discipline. Many of his scholars carried very distinct recollections of his words and ways through life. Our late venerable citizens, James J. Chandler, was one of his scholars.
    As Mr. Mitchell was, in later years, a resident of Garland and was laid to rest in one of its cementaries, some of his early experiences illustrative of pioneer life in eastern Maine at the beginning of the present century may appropriately be noticed.
    He early emigrated from Sanbornton, NH, to Athens, Maine. In the autumn of 1802, he selected a piece of land in Elkinstown (Dexter) and built a small cabin of logs thereon. The site of the little cabin was a short distance east of the presidence of A. L. Barton and near the westerly limit of Lincolntown. The brook, upon the margin of which the cabin stood, is still known as the Mitchell Brook. Early in March, 1803, he employed a neighbor with a two-horse team to move his family and such household goods as would be needed for immediate use to his cabin in Elkintstown, a distance of about eighteen miles. Up to the morning of their departure from Athens the weather had been cold and the deep snow had been hard enough to bear up a two-horse team. Unfortunately, the weather had become much warmer and the horses slumped badly. Articles of furniture were thrown off by the wayside from time to time to lighten the load.
    They pressed resolutely onward until they reached the site of the present town of Ripley where night overtook them. Too much fatigued to continue the unequal struggle they determined to cease further efforts until strength and courage should be renewed by a night's rest. There was no attractive hotel to offer them entertainment nor even a settler's cabin to invite them to its friendly shelter. A little shelter of poles and evergreen boughs was hastly built. A bed of boughs covered with blankets they had with them afforded a comfortable resting place for the night. The following morning opened brightly but bore with it unmistakable indications of continued warm weather. A frugal breakfast was hastily prepared and eaten.
    The family was making preparations to continue its journey, when, to their utter dismay, the teamster informed them that it was useless to attempt father progress with team, and that he should turn it towards home. Neither entreaty nor expostulation availed to change his determination. Throwing off what remained of his load he abruptly left them in a limitless sea of snow.
    The family embraced the father, mother, an infant son in his mother's arms and five daughters ranging from four to fourteen years of age.
    This was not promising material for a forward movement, but Mr. Mitchell was a man of resulate courage, and in this respect Mrs. Mitchell was not a whit inferior to her husband. A forward movement was promptly begun. The three older girls were strong and resolute, needing but little assistance save occasionally to rescue a shoe imbedded in the deep, damp snow, from which the foot had been drawn in the attempt to regain the surface. Mrs. Mitchell was fully equal to the task of bearing forward her infant son. The transportation of the two younger girls remained to be provided for. Mr. Mitchell must carry them, but could not carry them through the deep snow at once. He was a man of expedients as well as courage and quickly solved the difficutly.
    The family was now ready for a forward movement which was excuted as follows: Leaving Mrs. Mitchell, the baby and the youngest daughter upon the bed of boughs, which had been their resting place during the night, he took the next younger girl in his arms and accompanied by the older girls, he moved forward a half mile, where he left them as the first installment of the party.
    Returning to the starting point, he conducted Mrs. Mitchell with the baby in her arms to the place where the first installment had been left, carrying the youngest girl in his arms. The regularity and success of the first advance inspired something akin to military enthusiasm. Subsequent movements of the same character brought them to the residence of John Tucker, where they remained three days and were treated with the hospitality characteristic of the times. During this time the weather became colder, and a hard curst forming on the surface of the snow, Mr. Mitchell collected the goods which had been thrown from the load on the first day and hauled them to Ripley on a hand-sled. On the fourth day they moved into their one log-cabin by the brook which had been built the preceding autumn. Our former much esteemed resident, the late Mrs. N. P. Smith, was one of the girls that participated in the hardships of that remarkable journey from Athens to Elkinstown in 1803.
    The robust personality of the late Mordecai Mitchell, as esteemed and prominent citizen of Dover, was evolved from the babe that Mrs. Mitchell carried in her arms from Ripley to Dexter. Mrs. Smith kindly communicated to the writer various particulars relating to their pioneer life in the wilds of Elkinstown. Her father's family was the fifth to take up a residence in that township. They lived in a log-cabin within which was the traditional stone fireplace. This was made to do service both in warming and cooking. Their nearest neighbors were the families of Seba Frence of Elkinstown, who moved into the township a little later than her father, and Joseph Garland of Lincolntown. The Mitchell and Garland families lived four miles apart, but this was no obsticle to a frequent interchange of visits by Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Garland. For a year or two they procured their bread supply from Cornville. When they began to raise crops they got their milling done at Cornville, eighteen miles away.
    It was customary for the women to assist in the lighter farm work. They culitvated the flax plant, which entered largely into the clothing of both men and women. They sowed the seed, and cared for the plant until it came to maturity. Mrs. Mitchell was accustomed to spin and weave its long, strong fibers into shirting and send it to Bangor for sale. She also purchased cotton in Bangor, spun and wove it into cloth and returned it to the same place where it was sold at 50 cents per yard. The travel to Bangor was on horseback.
    In 1809 Mr. Mitchell removed his family to township number three in the sixth range of townships north of the Waldo Patent, now Dover. He settled upon the lot which afterwards became the homestead of his son, Mordecai Mitchell.
    When the Mitchell family had become established at Dover Mrs. Mitchell, at the solicitation of a prominent citizen of the vicinity, held religious services on the Sabbath. Mr. Mitchell, not being professional a religious man, his wife conducted the devotional exercises and he led the singing and read a sermon or religious literature. These were the first religious meetings held in what are now the villages of Dover and Foxcroft.
    William Mitchell, Garland's first schoolmaster, died in Garland, May 23, 1842, at the age of 72 years. Hannah Dow Mitchell died in Garland December 19, 1853, at the age of 84.

When did Hannah and William move from Gilmanton NH to Sanborton NH? Did William's father fight in the Revolutionary War? Did William's father come from Mass.?
    Could he have fought for Mass.? Maine was a part of Mass in the rev. war could Williams father had gotten land in Maine and that is why William settled there?
When naming children, usually the first son is named after the husband or the husbands father, could William's father be named Mordecai?
    There are NO Mordecai Mitchell/Mitchel's that fought for Mass.
    There are MANY William Mitchell's and Mitchel's that fought for Mass. Further study needed on the problem.
    Cousin Patrick Chandler thinks that William is a Scot-Irish. There were a lot of them in that part of the country at that time. More study.

101. Hannah DOW was born 16 Jun 1772 in So. Hampton, Rockingham Co., New Hampshire. She died 19 Dec 1853 in Garland, Penobscot Co., Maine and was buried in Brunham Brook Cemetery, Garland, Penobscot Co., Maine. [Parents]

THE BOOK OF DOW, by Robert Dow, page 134 & 138.
    Only one child listed in book.

VITAL RECORDS OF SOUTH HAMPTON birth date.

Buried Burnham Brook Cemetary, Garland ME
    I think probably the 1772 date as given in Hampton records is probably right for Hanna's birth. But V.R. of Dover-Foxcroft, ME as given in a record of the Mitchell family is 14 Oct. 1770. Her age at death in Dec. at 84 would made her born 1769.
    Book of Dow, p. 103, where Hannah was disconnected as to parentage, gives her marriage to Wm. Mitchell as in Belmont, with the date. I would assume that as other Belmont marriages on that page were from V. R. of Belmont, NH. The page 103 record says they were both of Gilmonton, their residence at the time.
    Burial place of Hannah and William in Burham Cem., Garland, ME is given in records of MOCA (Maine Old Cementery Association).

INHABITANTS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE 1776, by Emily S. Wilson, page 62.
    Johnson, Ichabod, Allenstown

WEBSITE http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/f/a/l/John-M-Falla/GENES-0002.html
    Ichabod and Melintha made Freetown their home after they were married, as they were living there in 1790 with a family of two boys under the age of 16. They did not remain long though and apparently joined the migration of of other Freetowners to Vermont. Ichabod and Melintha settled first in Benson, Vermont where Melintha's brother, Walter Durfee, had already settled in 1796.
    Ichabod bought land in a place called Killington, Vermont, now known as Sherburne. The deed for this land says that he was a yeoman and that he came from Benon, Vermont. In 1797 Ichabod is listed as first constable in Killington, and was "an active participant in town affairs, holding many offices" It appears he was a collector of land tax for the town beginning around 1795 until about 1809. In 1811 he sold "personally owned land and was listed as being from Industry."
     In 1800 census of Vermont shows Ichabod being a tavernkeeper in the small town of Killington, and besides his wife, his family was then made up of two boys 10-16, three boys under 10, and one girl under 10. Probably around 1809-10, Ichabod found his way to Industry, Maine, where his parents had already moved in from Freetown. Ichabod was living in Industry in 1810, but it was not until 1813 that he became a landowner, purchasing one-half of his father's homestead farm. Ichabod was tythingman in Industry in 1811, also in 1816 and 1817.
    In the fall of 1819, Ichabod turned the ownership of this farm over to his son, Elijah D. but did "reserve the use and improvement of one-half of the house and barn and orchard and the south half of said lot for the support of myself and wife Melintha during our natural life and a helpless child Melenthy."
    The 1820 census of Industry shows Ichabod's family consisting of two young men 16-26, a young woman 16-26, three girls 10-16, and a girl under 10. The History of Industry says Ichabod "went to live with a son in New York State where he died."
    When he left for New York State is not known, but in February 1829 he released the rights reserved by him in his 1819 deed, and in the 1830 census he is still living in Industry.
    His son, Elijah D. sold the homestead lot on 18 Feb 1833, as it was probably in the early to mid-1830's when Ichabod moved to New York, but when in New York State, is not known.

110. Lemuel MILK was born 1753 in Beekman, Dutchess Co., New York. He died 1835 in Buffalo, New York and was buried in Milks Burying Ground, Buffalo, New York. Lemuel married Mary THURSTON about 1783 in Easton, Washington Co., New York. [Parents]

MILKS CALENDAR, 1909
    Before 1790 John Milk, with sons David and Benjamin, had settled in Bensselaer Co. near the Washington Co. line. His sons Lemuel and George had located west of the Hudson River in Saratoga Co.
    The date of Lemuel's marriage to Mary Thurston is not known but probably it occurred at Easton, Washington Co., NY, abt 1783. They made their home on the west side of Lake George, near Bolton, NY.
    Calista, dau. of Benjamin Milks, wrote of her grandfather Lemuel (Milks Calendar, published 1909): "At the time I know him he was philosophical, practical, kind-hearted, neighborly, resourseful, honest, manly, tolerant. His schooling was two months in winter when eighteen years of age. He began in the A.B. class and graduated with honors in the highest class in school. He married Mary Thurston, a maiden of sensitive, poetic nature to whom were born eight children. Five daughters and two sons lived to maturity."
    The partentage of Mary Thurston has not yet been determined. At the time of her marriage several descendants of Edward Thurston of Newport, RI lived at Easton and Cambridge, some of whom had sailed the seas in whaling vessels.

111. Mary THURSTON was born 12 Feb 1753 in Newport, Newport Co., Rhode Island.

112. Matthew BROWN was born 1766 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut.

Matthew married Elizabeth BROWN on 25 May 1788 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut. [Parents]
