EARLY kENNEBEC GRANTS SUBJECT OF
PAPER READ at CURRENT EVENTS CLUB

The talk by Bertram e. Packard.
Deputy State Commissioner of Edu-
|. cation on "A Bit of Old England in
New England" was a feature of the
regular meeting of the Current
Events Club, held in the assembly
hall Of the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A.
| building. Friday afternoon. Mr..
Packard's discourse concerned the
! original grant of land in the central
kennebec valley by King James to
the Plymouth Company, and the
| subsequent changes in ownership
| until that section on which the cities
of Gardiner, Hallowell. and Augusta
were founded came into the pos
session of the Gardiner family.
| Because of it's local significance,
and the direct family succession to
the Gardiner estate to the present
date, the paper was exceptionally in
teresting and was listened to with
the closest of attention by the MEM
bers of the Current Events Club and
guests present.
The first part of Mr.. Packard's
delineation of his subject concerned
the history of the early grants on the
Kennebec and was in part as fol-
lows:
Original grant was by King
James first in 1906. to the Plymouth
Company of Devon. This grant was
renewed in 1920, and in 1922 a ter
ritory thirty miles in width with the
kennebec in the centre, extending
from where the Cobbosseecoptee en-
tiers the kennebec at Gardiner to the
Ticonic Falls at Winslow was
granted in fee simple, subject only
to the crown rights, to William
Bradford and his associates. In 1861
they sold the territory, which by this
time extended on the south to
| Merrymeeting Bay and on the north
to the Wesserunset river in Nor
| ridgewock, to Edward Winslow, An
| tipas Boies and others for the sum
of four hundred pounds. These
| proprietors accomplished nothing in
| the way of settling the land and fin
ally their title passed in 1853 to the
corporation known as the Pro
prietors of the Kennebec Purchase
| from the late Colony of New Ply
mouth"
Chief among these early proprie-
| tors was DR.. Sylvester Gardiner, a
wealthy and distinguished citizen of.
! Boston. He Immediately set about
| the settlement of the land with great
energy, making his first settlement
ut PoWnalborough and Swan Island,
but making his chief and most i'm
portant settlement at Gardiner. Here
he built dams and mills and attracted
many settlers. Owing to his loyalist
inclinations he went to England dur
/ ing the evolution and never returned
to his Kennebec properties, which
narrowly escaped confiscation. On
his death in Newport, r. l., in 1886,
he devised these lands, strictly en-
tailed and comprising upwards of
100000 acres to his grandson, Robert
Hallowell, then q mere lad, on the
condition that he should assume the
name of Gardiner.
"In 1903 the heir came to Gardiner
and from that time to the present.
the family has been closely identified
with everything pertaining to the

Patta9sall Points
To Error in Vote
COngressmen on Bonus

Attorney General William r,
Pattangall of this city, who will
be candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
in statement issued Friday, says
that Maine newspapers for some
reason failed to give correctly the
vote OF the Maine Congressman on
the bonus bill.
The headlines in a Portland
morning newspaper stated that
that maine Delegation Voted I'm
animously for Bonus" continues Mr..
Pattangall.
"Other Maine papers stated that
Messrs. Beedy, White and Hersoy
voted for the bill and that Con-
gresham John Z. Nelson of the
third district did not vote.
'"The vote was taken on March
18th, and is recorded on Page ASST
of the Congressional Record. Con-
gresham Nelson voted against the
bill. The other Maine Congressman
voted for it.
Il am not criticizing the at
titude Of either Congressman Mel
son or the other members of the
Maine delegation in this matter.
They all had the right to vote as
they saw fit and doubtless voted
conscientiously. But the people Of
Maine have right to know how
they voted and no one had an op-
portunity to ascertain the facts by
reading the report Of the vote in O.
Maine newspaper"

as long as the agents of the so-called

history and development of Gardiner.
The first Robert Haliowel Gardi-
ner, restored the dams and mills Of
his grandfather, built many new ones,
and was engaged for nearly sixty
years in all the enterprises incident
to growing city. He built the fine
stone church known as Christ church
and in 1884 commenced the building
o. the massive EliZabethan mansion,
the residence OF the family since that
time, and known as Oaklands. He
was closely identified with the inter-
ests OF the Episcopal church and was
one OF the most prominent laymen in
the United States.
Upon his death in 1864 the estate
passed to his son, Robert Hallowell
Gardiner, second, who well maintain
ed the traditions of the family. Upon
his death in 1886 the property passed
to the present owner, Robert Halo
well Gardiner, third, nephew of the
second of the same name. He is a
successful lawyer in Boston, but
maintains his residence in the city of
his ancestors. He has improved the
estate in many ways and has we'll
maintained the sturdy traditions of
the family. Closely identified with
all the interests Of the Episcopal
church and one of the founders of the
Brotherhood Of st. Andrew, he has
followed closely in the footsteps of
his forebears and is recognized at
home and abroad as one of the most
influential members of that strong
and powerful church.
