MAINE BRENTON Jahleel; and William ELLERYABAA

Manuscript map of the "Waldo Patent" principally depicting the land between the Muscongus River and Penobscot Bay

176726308Newport R.I. 1767. Manuscript map in ink and wash on a single folio sheet 15 1/4 x 19 inches. Docketed in manuscript on verso "Map of Leveretts Patent alias Muscongus." With two manuscript documents one being 3pp. on folio sheets dated at Boston May 19 1787; the other being 3pp. on folio sheets dated at Providence R.I. on May 30 1787. Also with a half-page of manuscript dated Boston March 28 1768. All three documents relating to the lands depicted on the map. Map with minor separations along horizontal fold. The half-page document being only the beginning portion of a longer letter otherwise the manuscripts in near fine condition. A highly important manuscript map of Colonial Maine: heavily annotated by William Ellery a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island. An attractive eighteenth century manuscript map of Penobscot Bay Maine heavily annotated by William Ellery a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island who made claims to some of the lands depicted on the map. The map was drawn by British Rear-Admiral Jahleel Brenton who commanded the HMS Queen during the Revolution and whose family lost much of its property as a result of the Revolution. The map is skillfully rendered as would be expected of a British naval officer and is done on a scale of about three miles to the inch. The map depicts the coastline from the Damariscotta River in the southwest to the Penobscot River in the northeast and shows and names the many islands of the Bay as well as many inlets harbors rivers ponds etc. The location of a fort and settlements have also been added. This information was all added by William Ellery 1727-1820 a signer of the Declaration of Independence from Rhode Island. Ellery explains in a manuscript note in the lower right corner of the map dated at Newport Rhode Island in 1767: "This map of Leverett's Patent &c was copied from a copy by Jahleel Brenton Esq. one of the Proprietors; and presented by his son Samuel Brenton to William Ellery who wrote the References Names of Places &c. William Ellery." In the upper left corner of the sheet Ellery has added a long manuscript note explaining the survey and the boundaries of Leverett's Patent as depicted on the map. This map and the accompanying manuscript documents were found among William Ellery's papers and were part of Ellery and his brother Benjamin's attempts to claim lands in Maine that they believed belonged to their family. "Leverett's Patent" also known as the Waldo Patent or the Muscongus Patent was issued in 1629 to Thomas Leverett and John Beauchamp. It granted land and trading rights for a thirty-six square mile area along the Penobscot Bay in present-day Maine between the Muscongus River and Penobscot River. According to the documents present here Leverett inherited the full patent upon Beauchamp's death and at his own death divided the grant among his ten children who then divided the land again amongst the next generation. Around 1720 Gen. Samuel Waldo of Boston acquired a large portion of the patent and began recruiting immigrants from Germany to settle the area. The letter fragment present here dated March 28 1768 and addressed to Benjamin and William Ellery asserts that the Ellerys have an "undoubted right to a half share" of the Muscongus lands as a result of a purchase made by their grandfather. The unidentified author of the letter goes on to describe the Waldo heirs as "exceeding difficult to deal with." Also present are two manuscripts one being a 1787 copy of the original 1629 grant of the Muscongus Patent from the Council of Plymouth the other being a manuscript deed of sale signed by James Green for a portion of the original patent. A handsome colonial era manuscript map of the coast of Maine drawn by a British Rear-Admiral and used by a signer of the Declaration of Independence to defend his family's claims to the land. Significant manuscript maps of this early date are virtually unknown in the market. unknown books

Manuscript Merchant's account book; Dennett Gardner Standish MaineABAA

Manuscript Account Book of the Dry Goods Merchant Gardner Dennett

18487350Standish Maine 1848. Quarto 8.25 x 13 inches 336 numbered pages. Marbled boards over half-calf; gilt-ruled spine. Pages hand-ruled in red. ~ An account book of a prosperous and well-stocked general store with manuscript entries in chronological order from the town of Standish Maine. The first journal entries in the accounts page 16 are headed "Standish September 11 1844" and the final headed "Standish May 13th 1848". The account book records daily sales and records customer names along with details of the purchases of foodstuffs sewing supplies building materials various types of alcohol spices and more. Specific items include: nails powder coffee cambric flannel silk velvet trimming for coat raisins ink eggs saleratus butter whiting panes of glass fish Borax tea sugar calico ticking tobacco pepper pork crackers oil olive oil ribbon pork meal antimony turpentine cayenne pimento wine brandy c. candy chalk lime beef stake and iron. A wide variety of measurements are present " Bushel Corn" "1 pt. N New England Rum" "6 yards sheeting" "25 #fish" " Bushel Oats" " oz. Nutmeg" "1 Pair Calf Boots" "1 qt Whiskey for Medicine" "1 Gallon Molasses" "1 Box Mustard" " 1 Qt. Gin" and there are barrels gills cords and so on. Some "finished" items such as an almanac boots a padlock matches and a broom are sold. The account names are mostly men and include Benjamin Morton Daniel Freeman Samuel Phinney Simeon Mansfield Philbrisk B. Abbot Seth Higgins Moses L. Sanborn Benjamin Meserve and dozens more. School District No. 5 purchases a padlock and a broom. A copy of Mitchell's Geography is sold on June 2nd 1847. It's notable that sometime in late 1846 or early 1847 sale of spirits now have the words "for medicine" appended. By 1848 the clarification has been dropped. Balances are kept and payments recorded although not all clients paid with cash; a "Richard Whiswell" paid his debt for items including Castile soap and cassis by sawing wood and working in the garden on more than one occasion. A "J.G. Robinson" purchases a gallon of oil by bartering "1 pair women's shoes to be sold for 6/ or returned." Payment of an employee's wages Daniel D. Lowell are included page 257 "By your services in my store one year from June 18 1846 to June 18 1847 $100.00". ~ While this account book bears no "title page" internal evidence supports the identity of the keeper of the records as Gardner Dennett 1822-1877 of Standish Maine. A number of times significant debits are made to pay a "balance of note". Each time these are debits in the name of G. Dennett. Also laid-in page 267 is a receipt for building materials purchase elsewhere naming Dennett as the buyer. Gardner is listed as "Trader" in a variety of contemporary lists and became postmaster of Standish on August 22nd of 1847 during the period of accounts recorded here. Just a month before this account books ends Gardner was one of the founding Trustees of the Standish Academy. "Mary Dennett" also appears regularly both as a client and as a participant in the business. She was not however Gardner's wife he married Eliza R. Howe October 19 1836 but his mother Mary Lowell Dennett. Standish in Cumberland County is about fifteen miles north of Portland. The town was settled by Massachusetts residents and named in honor of Captain Myles Standish. ~ The first sixteen pages of accounts have been pasted over with newspaper clippings circa late 1880's the clippings forming more of a commonplace book than a cookery compilation. The clippings include a near full-page lithograph of the operatic soprano Clara Louise Kellogg a lengthy depiction of the wedding of Daniel C. Thompson of Berwick to Dorcas Hayes of North Yarmouth many poems an engraving of the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey Ca. and a history of the Statue of Liberty which provides a rough dating of the addition of the clippings as the article states the "the Collosus to be unveiled to-day" - October 28 1886. The manuscript is in remarkably good condition for a daily working document such as an account book and is in a single neat hand throughout almost entirely legible. Some light stains or smudges but nothing that is not evidence of use in the positive sense. The free front endpaper is missing a two-inch piece of the lower right corner; some offsetting from leather corners. Rubbed and somewhat soiled the binding is blue marbled boards over half- plain calf gilt-ruled at the spine. Some scuffing and chipping to spine leather. Laid-in are a number of pressed ferns. Good or a bit better. Still overall an attractive piece of evidence of the workings of a general store in the early years of it Maine's statehood and a document of various aspects of the food system of the time including local and global distribution labor and shifting laws. hardcover books
