Accessions to the township in 1806 were not numerous, but events occurred that were of importance to the future of the settlement. Jeremiah Flanders, who had visited the township in 1804 and had spent the summer of 1805 therein in the service of Amos Gorgon, purchased and made a beginning for himself in 1806 or 1807 on lot eleven, range six, the site of the present home of Edwin Preble.

Sampson Silver, who had made his first visit to the township in 1804 and had worked for John Chandler the following year, made a beginning on the westerly part of lot ten, range five, the site of the present home of the late Albert G. Gordon.

Enoch Clough purchased the westerly part of lot nine, range five, and felled ten acres of trees on it. The place of this beginnings is now owned by Ernest Rollins. He subsequently exchanged this place with Thomas S. Tyler for lot ten, range seven.

Philip Greeley came into the township about the year 1806 and bought lot ten, range nine, og James Garland, built a log cabin and made some improvements on it. At the time of his purchase there was an opening on it of ten acres that had been made by Mr. Garland in 1802. The westerly part of this lot in now the home of George Arnold, and Charles Carr resides on the easterly part. Mr. Greeley emigrated from Salisbury, N. H., through the influence of the Garland family with which he was connected by marriage. He soon sold this lot to William Dustin, a brother-in-law of John Chandler, and made a beginning on lot nine, range eight, and subsequently purchased, and lived upon it until is death. This place was afterwards the home of the late Artemus Barton, a well-known citizen of Dexter, now owned by his son, R. M. Barton.

John Trefethen settled on lot eleven, range two, about 1806. William and George W. Wyman afterwards lived upon this lot for several years. It is now the residence of John S. Hayden.

Joseph Saunders, an emigrant from New Gloucester, Maine, who had felled an opening on lot four, range nine, in 1802, moved his family into the township in 1806. He had a large family of children, among whom was a daughter who had become the wife of Deacon Robert Seward. The lot where he made his beginnings was the site, in turn, of the residence of Nathaniel Emerson and Micah C. Emerson. It is now owned by John E. Hamilton.

Joshua Silver made his appearance in the township in 1806. He did not, however, become immediately a resident here, having lived in Elkstown (Dexter) and Charlestown for several years before establishing a residence on lot eleven, range seven, where he lived for several years. Mr. Silver was a man of some eccentricities. By virtue of being the seventh son of a seventh son, he proclaimed power od disease.
