SPENCER FAMILIES ON PENOBSCOT RIVER.

In

I think the first Spencer settlement on the river was at Bradley, near the mouth of what is now known as Blackman Brook. the course of time they overflowed into Eddington, Orono and that part of Bangor now Veazie, and into all the up river towns. I think there are more people in Penobscot County descendants of these early Spencers than from any other family. Much time has been spent in the endeavor to get them into families, but without certainties in some cases.

In Capt. John Chamberlain's field notes, 1797,† he says: "October 19, proceed down river to Capt. Colburn's, take breakfast, go over to the east side of the river to survey Squatter lands, (in what is now Brewer.)

1. Began at Isaac Page's, 50 rods on the river; small house, small improvements, settled 10 years.

2. Southerly to Nath. Spencer, Jr., 50 rods on the river; log house, considerable improvements, some apple trees.

3. Thence to Nathaniel Spencer, old man, 50 rods on the river; good improvements, log house, settled 1774.

4. Thence to Enoch Ayres, 50 rods on the river; small improve ments, settled 10 years.

John Cutt, senior, m. Hannah, daughter of Dr. Comfort Starr, of Boston. Aunt to Hull's wife.

5. Thence to Daniel Spencer's, 50 rods on the river; small improvements, settled by some other Spencers, 1774, and purchased by Moses Spencer.
