humbly shows that the principal settle
ment in said towns is situated around the
head of navigation on Union river, and
contiguous thereto upon the adjacent
corners of each of said towns"
In another place in said petition it
speaks of the sin ha bitants of said village
being divided into nearly three equal
parts by the dividing lines of said towns"
II the ancient north line of Trenton
was where the engraved plan in the his
torical magazine places it, then the above
description would not apply, but if said
line was near the present bridge and Gus
tom house, in that case the "three settle
ments which formed one village divided
into three equal parts by the dividing
lines of said towns" we think would ap-
ply.
In the petition of 1912 by some of the
inhabitants of Ellsworth praying to be
restored to their ancient limits they speak
of road applied for from Buckstown to
Union river (the present road mot a rod
OF which will pass through the old town"
(Ellsworth).
In 1911 the proprietors7 of;Surry town-
ship No 81 brought suit against Theodore
Jones to recover piece OF land origin
ally the property of Benz. Miliken but
which came into possession of Nathan
Jones bya levy of an execution thereon
in his favor, and subsequently conveyed
by said Nathan to his son Theodore (see
vol. s Maine Historical Magazine" pages
POI, POP, 203). The plaintiffs in their writ
claimed the land described in Nathan
Jones deed under his levy, W hich WAS
bounded on the west by Union river.

Theodore in the suit against him dis
claimed to two small parcels of land, one
just above where the present bridge now
is, and the other ito corner below the
+ bridge and State street where the custom
house and stores below stand both OH
the river page POP
Why did Theodore Jones disclaim to
these two small lots? They both seem to
be included in the land set off to Nat han
Jones, afterwards sold his son Theodore,
and were also included in De Gregoire' :
deed to Theodore Jones tpage 1892. Had
Nathan or his son previously sold them?
In 1913 Ben. NJ illiken sold to Isaac Lord,
who married his daughter Abigail five
acres of land beginning At a pine tree on
the river; then northeast eighty rods by
Thomas Milliken's land; thence ten rods
+ southeast, from thence southwest to riv
