The Garland family was cheered and encouraged by the arrival of several families in 1803. Early in the spring of this year, John Tyler from Gloucester,Maine, moved into the house that Joseph Treadwell had built for him the preceding year.

Mr. Treadwell and his family, form Danville,Maine, soon followed and occupied a part of Mr. TylerÕs house. This quaint old house was torn down years ago to give place to the house now owned and occupied by Charles H. Brown.

The Tyler and Treadwell families were connected by marriage.

John M. Chase built and moved into a house on lot one, range seven, where he had made an opening the preceding year. The site of his Building was near the residence of the late Bradbury G. Atkins. The coming of the family of Benjamin Gilpatrick was probably in 1803, although it might have been a year later.

Justus Harriman moved his family into the township in 1803 and established a home on lot nine, range nine, where he made his beginning a year earlier. He emigrated from Salisbury,N.H.

John Grant from Berwick,Maine, having purchased the saw-mill built by Moses Hodsdon the previous year, together with the lot upon which it stood, emigrated to the township in 1803 with his family, embracing his wife, three sons, who had grown to manhood, and two daughters. William Godwin came to the township in 1803 and purchased 100 acres of land of David A. Gove on lot eight, range five, where he made a beginning and afterwards established a home.
