Kittery. In Maine, is one of the old
est old towns In New England, and It's
history Is teeming with the struggles
of the early settlers, the Indian wars
and the romances which have been
woven about the fair women OF the
early days. II cei eitainly has one dis
tlnction, that of being the only one OF
Its name In this country.
Klttery was a part OF the tract OF
land granted In 1920 by King James
TO the Plymouth council. who after
ward gave II to Sir Ferdinando Gorges

the Piscataqua and the Kennebec r!v.

any earlier settlement In Kittery than

Harbor. on the other side of the river,
may have planted corn III Eliot, as II
was said that he went up the river for
that purpose.
: At this time Kittery--which, by the
way, was supposed to have been
named after Kittery Point at Kings
wear at Dartmouth, Eng.-the home
of the early settlers, included the
towns Of Eliot and Berwick. The first
real settlement was made at what was
then called Quawmpeagau Falls. and
Newichamananock. now Berwick. This
was a plantation under the direction
of Ambrose Gibbons. July 8. 1884,
the schooner Pied Cow arrived, bring
ing In her cargo the parts OF mill
which was soon after erected-the
first mill erected In New England that
was run by water. This schooner also
brought over number OF women,
who. after n very brief courtship. be-
came the wives OF the early settlers.
The next place which seemed to have
been settled was at Braveboat Harbor,
which was included in the grant Of
land called Champernowne island,
granted In 16i5 by King George to Ar
thur Champernowne, and called by
him Darlington. This Is now known as
Cults island, and the site OF the first
Champernowne house Is now occupied
by house belonging to John Thaxter,
son OF the late Celia Thaxter, the
Isles 81 Shoals poet. Ia t705 part of
this grant was sold to Timothy Ger
rish. and It is now known as Gerrish
island. A part of the land which is
now known as Kittery Point was given
to John Pearce, who died rather
young. leaving his property to Mar
garet Bray. who In time married Col.
William Popperrell. and was the moth.

Of Louisburg.
Another place settled early was at
