gives 1t, can be no other than Cards
brook, for Lords brook must be over two
miles below Cards brook, from the
accounts given me.
The present mill on Kilkenny stream is
said to be on the site of the first and an
cient one. Peters makes the north line OF
Trenton cross that stream sixty or seventy
rods north of the Kilkenny MILL II
surveyor should start from the Ellsworth
bridge on Union river, and run an east
line making the variation required in fol-
lowing old lines on that river where would
it strike Kilkenny stream? Would it go
below and across Skillings' river, or above
where Peters put the line? This can be
easily learned by a chain and compass.
Peters plan of 1894 shows that the only
county road then in Trenton run through
the mort beast corner Of the township
which must have been the one that now
crosses Kilkenney stream cat the head OF
Skillings river) near its mouth, show
ing that the north line of Trenton was
above and north of that road, or did 1t
ever cross the stream further up?
Turn to the map of Hancock county, in
he atlas OF Hancock county. We do not
refer to this map as being absolutely
correct, we would not care to have title
to real estate settled by the boundary
lines as laid down on its maps; but as it
corroborates the old Peters plan of 1910
from the survey made expressly to estab-
fish the township lines of Trenton we re-
fer to it. ''The base line or grand east
and west line, starts from Union river
on the division line between ancient
Ellsworth and Trenton which would also
be the mort hwest corner of Trenton, and
runs over 10 miles east dividing the town
ships from Ellsworth to Jonesport See
old plan of eastern shore in register of
deed ) office. Part OF Trenton was set off
to the towns of Hancock and Ellsworth
so hat The west end of this base line does
not appear on the map, where it was prior
to 1909, but take a rule and continue
the base line to Union river through
Hancock and Ellsworth as it is laid down
on said map running east. and as it now
appears upon said map and you will find
by the scale on that map that it will pass
through Ellsworth to the river about 100
rods mort h of that part of Trenton which
was sci off to Ellsworth in 1909. In the
act of the general court making the set
off ii says "beginning at the southeast
corner OF the town of Ellsworth in said
I county, thence running south 25 degrees
miles and 10 rods. 1t will
be readily seen on said map where the
east boundary line of Ellsworth turns from
north ana south course to make an
angle running south 25 degrees west
showing nat part OF Trenton set off to
f Ellsworth in 1909
