Early 18th Century Growth at Nequasset and Montsweag Mills
In 1735 Nequasset and Montsweag areas show rapid settlement with sawmills, lodgings, farms, and growing infrastructure. Workmen, ox teams, and new timber houses emerge near Nequasset and Chopps Point as Clarke and Lake heirs expand holdings. By 1738 eleven heads of family remained, including millmen and farm families, marking persistent development.
