Samuel Garland 1771-1855 Parsonsfield Maine Documents
I have recently purchased an old trunk full of early documents dated from abt 1797-1855 kept by Samuel Garland who was a Deacon and Justice of the Peace in Parsonsfield Maine. He was born in Hampton New Hampshire in 1771 and died in Parsonsfield Maine in 1855. He married Molly Batchelder(1775-1833) in 1793. They had 10 children whosurvived into adulthood.The documents include many personal letters from Samuel's children, his will, deeds,lots of legal documents signed by Samuel and many misc and sundry documents relating to the Garland family and the citizens of the Parsonsfield Maine area between 1800 and 1855.There are literally hundreds of items as well as Samuel's trunk dated 1808.Many of these documents should end up with a direct descendant. Being a serious genealogist I could only dream of finding a collection like this from one of my distant grandfathers.I have purchased these documents so I am not offering to give them away but my first choice is to place these with a descendant who will appreciate them.Please email me at [email protected] if you have any interest.
