Commissioners Records of Lincoln County, Maine, 1759–1777

These records were abstracted by Georgiana Hewins Lilly, of Hallowell, Maine, from the originals kept in the Lincoln County Courthouse in Wiscasset, Maine. Prior to 1760, all of Maine was made up of two counties (York and Cumberland). On June 21, 1760, Lincoln County was established, originally covering three-fifths of what would become the state of Maine. This coverage remained until 1790, when Hancock and Washington counties were established, and these were followed by many additional divisions over the years.

The original transcription is kept in the R. Stanton Avery Collections at NEHGS, call number MSS ME 88 6.
