Description
Volume 2 book of records relating to land settlement and company activity along the Kennebec River during the years 1753-1768. Volume 2 includes agreements with rival land speculation companies the Wiscasset Company, the Pemaquid Proprietors, and the Pejepscot Proprietors. The materials relating to the Pejepscot Proprietors involve the boundary dispute and settlement between the two companies.
Originally marked as Records Volume 2, it is part of the Plymouth Company archival collection (Coll. 60) which arrived at Maine Historical Society in the 1860s. Since that time, it was also marked as Coll. 60, Volume 6, giving the book two designations. The original title is "Plymouth Company Records, Volume 2, 1753-1768," which is the original name assigned by the Kennebec Proprietors.
This volume is part of a larger archival collection (Coll. 60), which is completely digitized. To search the entire collection visit our Beyond Borders search page.
