Excerpt from The Narraguagus Valley: Some Account of Its Early Settlement and Settlers I find that prior to the incorporation of Harrington, that township and No. 11, Cherryfield, held their plantation meetings and kept their records as one organization. At that time most of the settlers in Harrington lived at Mill River, where the earliest settlement was made. There was no settlement at what is now Harrington village until several years later. I have found it impossible to ascertain the date of Excerpt from The Narraguagus Valley: Some Account of Its Early Settlement and Settlers I find that prior to the incorporation of Harrington, that township and No. 11, Cherryfield, held their plantation meetings and kept their records as one organization. At that time most of the settlers in Harrington lived at Mill River, where the earliest settlement was made. There was no settlement at what is now Harrington village until several years later. I have found it impossible to ascertain the date of the very earliest settlement upon the river, or the name of the man or men who felled the first tree and erected the first rude dwelling. There is a tradition that a man named Sprague had a home on the point below the creek near the house of the late David Small, and it is said that signs and relics of his forge are still to be found there. The earliest settlers, whose coming can be fixed by any well authenticated tradition, were Jabez Dorman, John Densmore, Ichabod Willey and Samuel Colson. They came at or about the same time, 1757. Dorman came from Kennebunk. Willey and Densmore, and probably Colson, came from New Hampshire. Willey was English born, or born soon after his parents came over. His wife, Elizabeth Bumford, was born in Londonderry, Ireland. He settled on the side of the hill near where Marshall Guptill now lives. His sons were William, Ichabod, John, Charles and James. His daughters, Susan married Samuel Colson, Elizabeth married John Jordan, Molly married Eben Downs, Annie married Allen Downs, Abigail married Wm. White and Jane married Samuel Davis. Jane, the youngest, survived all her brothers and sisters and died about 1882 at the age of 96 years. All the Willeys in all the region round about, and they are not few, are the descendants of this Ichabod and Elizabeth (Bumford) Willey. Mr. Willey was a millwright by trade and built the first mill on the Narraguagus River. Old people remember him as a large man of great strength and endurance, though not so strong as he sometimes felt when a little elated. William, the oldest son of Ichabod, married Elizabeth Pinkham.
