Item 11775 info
Maine Historical Society
In 1622, Ferdinando Gorges sought and received a grant for a huge parcel of land in New England from King James I of England, which he named the “Province of Maine.” Gorges spent much of his time and money trying to develop this English colony in Maine.
This deed from Ferdinando Gorges and Edmund Gorges transferred ownership of land in the area of Scarborough to Robert Trelawny, and is one of the oldest surviving deeds in Maine.
