brldpe crossed the river should, we think,
be further up and the old plan in Hale
Hamlln 8 office puts it, the bridge,
where the continuation of the Theodore
Jones north line following the same
course would strike the river. On that
plan no part of township No. q is laid out
or seen upon the east side of the river.
The Theodore Jones north line extends to
the river well as his sout h line, and
this plan, in Hale x Hamlin's office,
shows no ''Surry gore on the east side OF
Union river, and on it the north as well
As the south line of Theodore Jones lot
runs to he river.
In 1880 the town OF Trenton at their
organization as town voted to raise
eight pounds four shiilngs to defray
town charges. Jacob Foster, William
Hopk ms, Mart in Fitzpatrick, James Me
Farland and Theodore Jones were chosen
by a majority of the town to lay out the
roads. All at hat time were land holders
in Trenton, or did Theodore Jones live at
hat date on another lot below Cards
brook We think not. He came from
Goudsboro " here his ather Nat han, lived
in l1S5. Mr. Porter in his magazine says
that Nat Jones, VINO then resided in
Gould-boro, " no derived his title to the
Benjamin Aliiliken lot from a levy upon
il on Il judgment of court against said
MiiIiken, sold it to his son, Theodore
Jones, in 1855 and hat his said son moved
there the same year This must nave
been after he census was taken, and that
he lived probably IN the second house
built by benjamin Milliken.
II any OF this lot WAS in Trenton, 1t
must have been the western end. After
tht, Frenchm4u came into possession OF
the land under his grant most OF The set
tiers lots must have been someW nat
changed 1t will be remembered that
Benl Millilen had but about five acres.
4. ~ "a, ~ aero
aud ne four acres next adjoining would
make the five, even il i've acres beside
& ne privilege were not run out to him. 1t
Was probably upon this lot where the
rock called punch Bowl stood, and Benz
Mtlliken built his camp preparatory to
erecting his mill. Why III the lawsuit
spoken of was there a disclaimer to per-
ton of the Theodore Jones lot?
The Maine Historical Magazine shows
that later than 1879 the luha bltants OF
Ne. We're taxed in Trenton, but is there
any evidence That they We're assessors, or
held other town offices in Trenton alter
It's -incorporat ION in 1852 ii not, why
Vas Theodore Jones then elected by the
town one OF committee with otner
Trenton men to hold responsible office
