Surveyors Field Book surveying Bakerstown and portions thereof, 1768-1818
Scope and Contents
Series II. Bakerstown Surveys includes surveys of the Bakerstown grant, the earliest showing the portion adjoining the Androscoggin River which had been erroneously included in the survey, and later corrected surveys showing a disclaimer by the Bakerstown Proprietors of the land between the Androscoggin River and a “curved line” four miles west of the River, which was part of Pejepscot Proprietors land. (A survey showing the original parameters of the Pejepscot claim, adjoining the Bakerstown claim, can be seen in the Pejepscot Proprietors Papers, MSS 338). Subdivision plans show the parceling of the land into smaller tracts, to be sold either by the Proprietorship, or by the individual Proprietors to whom that portion of land had been distributed. Plans for roads and a plan of a meeting house are also included. Folder 2 contains Surveyors Field Notes for various portions of the grant as well as subdivisions. Series II also includes field survey notes, which are located in Box 3, Folder 1.
