When a youth of 14 years, accompanied his father to New York, March, 1776 and thence to Canada and with his father when his father died and soon after which he returned home. In June 1790, he moved to Livermore, Maine where he had previously purchased land and one-half of the first grist-mill and saw mills erected in that town. He was one of the first deacons of the first church organized in the town, and the second schoolmaster of Livermore, in the winter of 1794. The first school house of the town was built a short distance north of his mills. (The 1st school- master was Rev. Elisha Williams.

Dartmouth Coll. 1813; was tutor at Dartmouth Coll. for two years; A.M. 1817. He settled first in Concord, New Hampshire and in Nov, 1819, moved to Philadelphia where he since resided, unmarried. He was devoted to his profession - the author of articles in Medical Journals and the author of this volume: "Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts by Henry Bond, M.D., Boston, 1860." Insert: Letter of Henry Bond, author Subject: The author of Bond's Watertown, Dr. Henry Bond - His letter to the Maine Historical Society Source: History of Livermore, Maine - book online (see url below.) " It was understood that the materials for a pretty full account of the early history of the town had been collected, and perhaps pre- pared for publication, by the Hon. Elijah L. Hamlin, of Bangor. But it is to be regretted that no such history, or evidence of prepa- ration towards it, has been found among Mr. Hamlin's papers. The following letter from Dr. Henry Bond, of' Philadelphia, to the late president of the Maine Historical Society, will be read in this con- nection with interest. Dr. Bond was an eminent physician and the author of The Genealogies and History of Watertown, an able and elaborate work. PHILADELPHIA, May, 1858. To: WILLIAM WILLIS, ESQ. "Dear Sir. I spent my boyhood in Livermore, Maine, and lived a part of the time, between the death of the last of my parents and going abroad to pre- pare for entering college, in the family of Dea. Elijah Livermore, the first set- tler and the chief proprietor of that town Although I have been absent so long-now more than fifty years - I remember the place of my childhood with an affectionate interest and still entertain a grateful and most respectful re- membrance of the worthy deacon. He was the elder brother of the Hon. Samuel Livermore, chief justice and U. S. Senator of New Hampshire (as you may see in Watertown Family Memorials, p. 346, etc.). I have in the mean- time frequently visited the scenes and the friends of my childhood, and I have of late repeatedly urged a venerable friend there to collect the materials for the history of that town before it is too late. This worthy friend, Dr. Benja- min Bradford, now on the shady side of seventy, has collected some materials, but he now feels so sensibly the intinnities of age that lie is unable to pursue it. He informs me that the papers of Dea. Elijah Livermore have passed into the hands of his grandson, Hon. Elijah Livermore Hamlin, of Bangor. "From what I remember of Dea. Livermore 1 should expect that his papers might be copious, throwing much light upon the planting and early history of that town. Mr. Hamlin is a native of Livermore and a man of liberal education, and having many of the materials in his hands I would hope that he will readily consent to furnish for your Historical Collections an account of the planting and the early history of Livermore. "Dr. Bradford has told me that he will cheerfully render such aid as may be in his power. He has been town treasurer forty-five years! This is remarkable in these times when rotation in office is so very generally prevalent, especially in the Northern States. My object at this time is to recommend to you to write, and invite, and urge Mr. Hamlin to prepare for you a bistory of Livermore. It is a good inland country town, furnishing no stirring incidents or illustrious characters to charm the world, but a paper might be prepared that would deserve a place in your Collections, and that would be perused with interest by many readers. Very respectfully yours, HENRY BOND, 246 South 8th Street, Philadelphia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note: Many of the earliest settlers of Livermore, Maine - came from Watertown, Mass., including Henry Bond, the son of Col.
