A Survey of Hancock County, Maine By Samuel Wasson 1876:
Lamoine, an early French resident, who at one time owned a large tract of land west of Skillings river. A colony of French made a transient settlement on Trenton Point, at an early day. Two of the colonists, Delaittre and Desisles, became "permanent residents. Hon. W. King says, "the first settlement at Lamoine, formerly Trenton, was made in September, 1774, at Gillpartric's Point by Gillpartric," which is corroborated by Capt. Berry, who adds, "Capt. Isaac Gillpartric, with six sons and two daughters, from Biddeford, and a son-in-law, Edward Berry, from Londonderry, N. H., were the first settlers." Both these gentlemen say, "the French came subsequent to Gillpatric." If so, from whence came the "brass kettle," not an article of Indian make or use? State valuation, $142,443. U. S. valuation, $204,616.
