Bowdoin still has the earliest book of vital records, but all other vital records for the town were burned in 1872. For the next twenty years, vital records were apparently not kept, thus, these cemetery inscriptions are the most complete vital records available for Bowdoin. This collection is organized according to cemeteries and arranged in family plots. Extensive family history is included with each entry. Spouses, children, siblings, maiden names, death and birth dates are given when available. Over forty-five Bowdoin, Maine, cemeteries, plus burials in Potter Cemetery (once located in Bowdoin) are included. Some of the names and ages in this work were verified though the 1850 census for Bowdoin. Another helpful source was the Bowdoin Selectmen's Records, which give the veteran's name, service records, birth and death dates, and next of kin. Much of the information contained within this work is already lost due to illegible stones or missing markers. Epitaphs have been included if they were unusual or especially poignant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharlene B. Bartlett and Jayne E.

However, the area was the subject of several conflicting grants, and little permanent settlement took place until the Pejepscot Company was formed in 1714. The towns of Brunswick and Topsham, Maine were constituted townships by the General Court in 1717, but were not incorporated until much later. Harpswell was originally part of North Yarmouth, had been appended to Brunswick for a short time, and was finally incorporated as a separate town in 1758. This huge history covers the entire area developed by the Pejepscot Proprietors from the time of the aboriginal inhabitants down to the late nineteenth century. All the usual historical topics are covered, including such fascinating items as criminals and the courts, taverns and public halls, modes of travel and means of communication, schools, churches, forts and garrison, and commercial, municipal, and military history of the towns. In addition, there are about three hundred pages devoted to biographies, family histories, and various civil and military lists. There are numerous illustrations and maps as well. This new edition includes a new every-name index compiled by Shirley Simington Schilly, and provided by the Pejepscot Historical Society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Augustus Wheeler and Henry Warren Wheeler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1878), 1989, paper, 2 volumes, 1037 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788452154\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-W5214\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39533067927670,"sku":"101-W5214","price":86.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-w5214-1500px.png?v=1777309303"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/maine-sagadahoc-county\/maine+death-records.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
