Book Title: History Of Durham, Maine

End Notes, Chapter III

[1]  Josiah Dunn, from Falmouth, Oct. 28 1771, bought of Thomas Coffin lot 55 in
Royalsborough Nov. 25, 1777, he sold fifty acres of this to Nathaniel Gerrish.
Nothing more is known of him in Durham. A Josiah Dunn bought 134 acres in Poland
Oct. 15, 1778. It is an easy inference that the Josiah Dunn of Royalsborough was
the ancestor of the Dunns of Poland, Waterville and Auburn. He came from England
with a brother Nathaniel and first settled in Falmouth. He died in Poland about
1825, aged 93 years.

   A Josiah Dunn was taxed in Durham in 1802, but this tax may have been for the
unsold fifty acres. A Revolutionary soldier, Joshua Dunn of Royalsborough,
afterwards was a pensioner living in Phillips, Me.

[2]  Charles Hill, Esq., was clerk of Royalsborough 1774-7. HIs wife's name was
Sarah. They had two children born in Royalsborough, George, 4 Mch. 1774 and Amos
Adams, 20 Feb. 1778. Charles Hill sold lot 66 to Ebenezer Newell, 8 June 1779.
for 1000 pounds. He then disappeared from Durham history.

[3]  Jonathan Armstrong, mariner, of Falmouth married Lydia Flint of Harpswell
April 9, 1767. He bought, Dec. 1, 1775, of Samuel Green, half of lot 19; and
Feb. 6, 1779 he bought a lot of Thomas Pearson and sold it in 1781. The name
soon disappeared in Durham.
