" At a later date, William and James Bowdoin, Thomas and John Hancock, Dr. Sylvester Gardiner, Benjamin Hallowell, James Bayard and many others became their associates. On February 19, 1631, the Pemaquid patent was made to two mer- chants of Bristol, England, Robert Aldsworth and Gyles Eldridge. James SulHvan in his "History of the District of Maine, " published in 1795, describes this grant as follows: "Pemaquid, 12, 000 acres, bounded from head of Damariscotta river to the head of Muscongus r...iver, thence to the sea, with all islands within three leagues. " In the same grant "one hundred acres to every passenger and fifty acres to everyone born there within seven years. " The Pemaquid claim, through change in ownership, became known later as the Drowne claim, and embraced all of the present towns of Bristol, Bremen, Damariscotta and part of Newcastle and Nobleboro. The Brown claim was founded on the purchase by John Brown of Bristol, July 15, 1625, from the Wawenock sagamores, Capt. John Somerset and Unongoit, of the tract described as follows: "Beginning at Pemaquid Falls, and so running a direct course to the head of New Harbor, and thence to the south end of Muscongus Island, taking in the island, and so running five and twenty miles into the country north and east and thence eight miles northwest and by west, and then turning and running south and by west to Pemaquid where first begun.
