How it began and why you're here...

Twenty years later residents voted almost unanimously to separate from Winthrop, and Readfield became incorporated on March 11, 1791.

WHITTIER, Josiah
The White / Whittier homestead on Tallwood. This picture
was taken c1900.
Josiah married Samuel White's daughter, Sally, and they lived on the White homestead. Josiah is anxious to tell you more but there is so much to share that he's got to think it over first. Besides, he can't right now... he has run out to the barn and do the chores! Come back for a visit later and maybe he'll have a cup of cider - he's got some brewing and it's probably about ready by now!
