Description

This volume is comprised of materials which relate to land settlement and Plymouth company activity along the Kennebec River during the years 1768 to 1800.

This volume was originally marked as Volume 3, and 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 5, giving the book two designations. The original title is "Plymouth Company Records, Volume 3, 1749-1753," which is the original name assigned by the Kennebec Proprietors.

Some notable details included in Records, Volume 3 are company decisions regarding the “Ballstown trespassers,” the illegal cutting of timber, the appointment of John Adams as company attorney, the discussion of mounting legal action against company shareholder Samuel Goodwin, and the agreement with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts about undivided land.
