Excerpt from A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine: From the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 The traditional portion of this work is many fold richer and more complete than that of any other town history with which we are acquainted. The chief credit for this is due to Dr. A. C. Whitman, who, about a dozen years ago, interviewed all the oldest people in the town and took down their statements. Among these aged people, were Elias Taylor, a grandson of Samuel Taylor, born in 1796; Mrs.' Arvilla Record, a granddaughter of Benjamin Spaulding, born in 1803; Briggs Record, a grandson of Jonathan Record, and Susan Leonard.
