Series V. Bakerstown Proprietors contains notices of Proprietors meetings and minutes of the meetings. The method of publishing notices for the meetings was regulated by statute. Folder 2 of Box 4 contains petitions to the Proprietors from individual settlers, and Folder 3, Proprietorship accounts. Much traveling and business was done by or on behalf of the Proprietorship or the individual proprietors. Accounts were kept of expenses incurred during these travels or in execution of such tasks, often accompanied by a daily journal, recounting daily activities, observations, and various memoranda. Such journals are collected in Folder 4 of Box 4. It should be noted that the “Book of Mem[oranda]” of Col. Moses Little contains notes concerning both Bakerstown and the Pejepscot land. As noted before, the Little family members were agents and major investors in both Proprietorships and individually owned large tracts of land in their capacity as individual investors. Unless the accounts and journals are specific as to the land or company involved, it is impossible to tell whether the activity is on behalf of Bakerstown, Pejepscot, or the land of an individual proprietor/owner. The same is true of the miscellaneous and mostly undated accounts in Folder 5. Box 4, Folder 6 contains miscellaneous items. Some of the items bear witness to the difficulty in dealing with squatters, with those settlers holding title through the Bridgham Company or the Commonwealth, and those who had settled but not paid for their land. Notices to “inhabitants living on the Northeasterly part of Bakerstown to settle and receive payment; offers to “all nonproprietors in Bakerstown (probably squatters) to “peaceably…quit all their Pretended Rite and title to land they have laid out to themselves” in exchange for 50 acres each in the first division of lots. Minutes of a meeting of the inhabitants of Poland plan for the building of a meetinghouse. Two of the documents in this folder deal with a disagreement concerning one boundary of the Bakerstown claim, i.e. the “headline of new Gloucester”. In these documents, a meeting was agreed to between the selectmen of New Gloucester and Bakerstown to run and mark the line between the two townships. It is, again, most important to note that, while the Bakerstown Proprietors were treated as a single entity, many of the investors, most particularly members of the Little family, were also investors in and agents of the Pejepscot Proprietors, holding tracts of land which were also the subject of prolonged litigation. Because of the involvement of the Little family in both these ventures, additional documents concerning both the Pejepscot and Bakerstown Proprietors will probably be found in the Little family papers (MSS 67). Again, researchers interested in the settlement of these portions of Maine, or in the Little family, are advised to examine all three of the allied collections.
