Augusta, a 1628 Pilgrim trading post on the Kennebec, had become by 1832 the capital of the state of Maine. This truly superior, and thus influential, town history is invaluable for the genealogist. The 165 page genealogical section on all of the early settlers and their families includes the families not only of the capital city, but also the surrounding towns of Hallowell,Chelsea, Farmingdale and Manchester.
