Description
Excerpt from Centennial of the First Baptist Church: Sedgwick, Maine June 11-18, 1905
The next year Gorges, a man whose explorations to America were to the Maine coast, equipped two ships for these shores. He took with him sixteen colonists with directions to establish a settlement on some favorable point which he might select. Other colonial companies were sent out. By 1620 ships were visiting the Maine waters from Monhegan to Machias. It is probable that during the year 1623, when the Pilgrims at Plymouth were subduing the forest primeval, individuals commenced a permanent residence upon Arrowsic Island, near the mouth of the Sagadahoc: and upon the mainland, at the entrance of the river at Sheepscot, at Damariscotta, at Pemaquid and at St. George''s River. Seven years after this, it was reported that eighty-four families, besides fishermen, were residing along the coast in this region.
