Occupation	10 Sep 1716	Topsham, York, Maine, [38]
Sawmill Builder
"From an entry made in the records of the Pejepscot proprietors, it would appear that the first mill in Topsham was erected as early as the year 1716. On September 10 of that year the proprietors desired Captain Peter Nowell to build a small house near their mill at Cathance Falls, to clear sufficient ground for depositing logs and boards, to get logs cut, and to put the mill in the best condition. He was also desired to look out the two most advantageous places for building saw-mills, and to prepare "running Gear for one Mill with two Saws against the Spring." On November 28, Mr. Samuel Came offered to build the running gear for a mill for two saws for £27, the mill itself for £30, and the dam, "at such a Fall as Cathance is described to be," for £60; and his offer was, in part at least, accepted."
