Title: Early Families of Narraguagus, Maine
(WASHINGTON COUNTY) NARRAGUAGUS, Early Families of. By Darryl B. Lamson and Leonard F. Tibbetts. 2 vols., approx. 1,568 pp., estimated 50,500 entry Every Name Index and 5,018 entry Place Name Index. Smythe sewn and hard cover. 2002. #2013 99.50
With this work the authors intended to cover all families found to be living before 1850 in the Narraguagus River Valley which is comprised of the towns of Beddington, Cherryfield, Deblois, Devereaux, Harrington, Milbridge and Steuben. These are the westernmost towns located in Washington County, Maine. The families in this book have been identified from the names of settlers on lists and petitions in the region as well as from names shown in the U.S. Census from 1790 through 1850. The first reported English settler was Henry Dyer who came in about 1758 to Dyers Bay (Steuben).
Prior to about 1783 any settlers near the Narraguagus River were at the mercy of the combatants in the French and Indian War, and were either killed or driven away, leaving no records. During the Revolutionary War, there was active, but not unanimous, support for the Colonial cause, and several Narraguagus men took part in the Battle of the Margaretta 12 June 1775. Further settlement of the townships was delayed by the war until after 1785 at which time, following a petition by the settlers, the townships were confirmed to the original proprietors upon conditions which included agreements for existing settlers to obtain ownership of their "improved" lands.
The family records and relationships are based on the town records of births, marriages, and deaths many of which no longer survive in their original form. Some are available only as transcriptions made years ago and in many cases these are the only family records available today. The value of this study as with the authors' earlier publication Early Pleasant River Families of Washington County, Maine is incalculable.
