Note 631 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)

These old Maine records have all been removed to the county town of Alfred, and they have never been printed. Extracts from time to time have been published, as by Folsom above, and by Willis in vol. i. of his History of Portland, who gives a description, from Judge David Sewall, of the manner in which the original records were made and kept. The charter of incorporation of Acomenticus as a town, April 10, 1641, and the charter of Gorgeana as a city, March 1, 1642, were among the papers which Hazard found at old York, and printed in his Collection, vol. i. Cf. “Sir Robert Carr in Maine,” in Magazine of American History, September, 1882, p. 623; and a paper on Gorgeana in N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1881, p. 42.
