Book Title: History Of Durham, Maine

End Notes, Chapter IV

[1]  See the Douglas Genealogy by J. Lufkin Douglas, p. 29.

[2]  Oct. 28, 1771, Coffin sold this lot, No. 55, to Josiah Dunn, who sold half
of it to Nathaniel Gerrish in 1777. The Records of Royalsborough tell us that
March 25, 1776, the town voted "that there be liberty to Erect a gate across the
County Road below Capt. Dunn's at the bridge." This bridge must have been over
the Trout Brook mentioned above, afterward called Dyer's Brook. The gate was,
probably, to prevent from straying too far the hogs, sheep and cattle that ran
at large. Thomas Coffin took a deed of lot No. 2 Dec. 10, 1771, but did not long
remain in town. A Thomas Coffin married Mary Fogg in Freeport Aug. 29, 1770.
Their eleven children are recorded in the Town Records of Freeport. It is,
doubtless, the same man above mentioned.

[3]  See Pejepscot Records, Vol. VIII. 69.

[4]  The first mention of Guide Boards is in an order given March 8, 1795 "to
Ebenezer Ayers for making & panting four goid bords @ 9s 1.16.0."
