As early as 1771, the Small heirs, then living in Scarboro and Cape Elizabeth, Maine, were taking an active interest in their ancestral lands and laid plans for its development and settlement. Many Smalls, and a great number of their neighbors in both towns, moved into Limington. By the time the 1790 census was taken, the town had one hundred and fifteen settlers. This major new work, twenty-five years in the making, was compiled from a variety of primary and other sources including: town and family records, genealogists, manuscripts, cemetery inscriptions, census records, newspaper obituaries and death notices, and school district polls. Genealogical information includes, when known: date and place of birth, marriage, and death; names of spouses; occupation; and general comments such as: \"She was part Indian, so claimed descendants...\" and \"He was a Democrat and postmaster...\" that help fill out the character of the people and their lives in Limington. Descendants to the third or fourth generation are given for most families. A record of deaths in Limington, covering the years 1816-1841 and 1843-1845, is also covered.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert L.

Since the famous English explorer John Smith first set foot on them in 1614, the Isles of Shoals have experienced numerous changes. The once thriving fishing communities suffered many hard years before and after the American Revolution. Since the 1800s, the Isles of Shoals have been revived as a place where travelers, artists and writers can find inspiration and relaxation. The austere beauty of the rocky shores has influenced such notable figures as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Childe Hassam, Sarah Orne Jewett and the poet laureate of the islands, Celia Laighton Thaxter, as well as lesser-known fishers and fishwives, sailors and visitors of the past and present. In this volume, Russell M. Lawson has evoked the fascinating history of the islands, from their discovery to the end of the nineteenth century.
