The following was found in the land records of Somerset County, Maine [Vol. 46, p. 258].
An indenture, made 26 Sept. 1837 between Sarah Dunham and Cicero Dunham, both of Granby, Oswego Co., N. Y., and Jeremiah Dunham and Hannah Dunham, his wife, of Lysander, Onondaga Co., N. Y., of the first part; and William H. Johnson of Camillus, Onondaga Co., N. Y., of the second part. The parties of the first part, in consideration of the sum of $102 paid by Johnson, "sold, remissed, and quitclaimed" to Johnson a parcel of land in Maine, namely the undivided two-fifths of 200 acres, being lots six and seven in the fourth range of lots in a township in Somerset County, Township No. 4 in the 2nd Range of Townships north of Bingham's Kennebec Purchase. [bounds are given]. The instrument was signed by the parties of the first part, Sarah Dunham making her mark.
The land in question lay in what would later become Moose River Plantation, near the Canadian border west of Moosehead Lake.
