PRE-REVOLUTIONARY COLONIAL DEED 1735KITTERY, MAINEIn this document Caleb Emery of Kittery in the province of Massachusetts for one hundred pounds deeded forty acres in Berwick to John Merrill Jr of Kittery. There follows a very specific description of the location of this land with names of abutters. It was signed the 15th day of December \"in the year of our Lord one thousand Seven hundred and thirty five and in the ninth year of the Reign of our Soveraign Lord George the Second King.\"The deed was witnessed by Zachariah Emery and Lemuel Gowen. It was also signed February 7, 1737 by John HIlls, JP. and Recorded Aug 14, 1738 at York County by Jer. Moulton, Reg.**Some genealogical information of those early men involved who helped build our nation....Caleb Emery was born 6 April 1741 in Kittery and died 4 March 1825 in Sanford, Maine. He served in the French and Indian War in 1748 at age 17 served in the Lake George Expedition in the Company of \"honorable\" James Gowen. He also served in the Revolutionary War and took part in the expedition to Rhode Island. After the Revolution, he served in the Militia and was promoted to colonel in 1788.Zachariah Emery, witness and relative of grantor, resided in Chelmsford, MA and enlsted in June 1745 in the Expedition against Cape Breton in Capt. Gershom Davis\' Company. John Hill, JP, was born in 1703 and became chidf justice of the Court of Common Please. He was a representative to the Massachusetts General Court and member of the Governor\'s Council. He later was a lumber and sawmill owner and died in 1772.
Jeremiah Moulton 1688-1765 was a New England militia officer and member of the Masschusetts Council. During King William\'s War, his parents were killed, and he was taken captive in the Raid on York and later helped rescue Father Sabastian Rale in the Battle at Norridgewock. He was a judge, a sheriff of York County and member of the Massachusetts Council. He helped found the town that later became Sanford, Maine. His regiment was instrumental in the Siege of Louisburg, and after 1745 he was a judge of probate for York County. Very important man in Maine history! I believe Lemuel Gowen was the son born in 1709 to mariner John and Mercy (Hammond) Gowen. He died at sea, and his will was probated in 1740. I do not have information at hand on John Merrill, but the Merrill family was early in the 17th century to Essex County, Massachusetts, and it was common to migrate north and settle what is today Maine. There is toning but the script is dark and totally legible. The was seal is present and covered with a paper. The document will be mailed first class carefully folded along an existing fold. I will be listing more early Maine and New Hampshire documents as time permits.
Thank you.
