    Notes:

    The following sketch of the life of Moses Carelton was furnished by his granddaughter, Mrs. A. M. Peaslee of Alna, Lincoln Co., Me.
    "I know nothing of the youthful part of his life. When quite young he married Lois Hoyt, and which East in search of a future home. He probably went to Wiscassett by water, and then taking a boat and applying his oars, he soon reached the head of the tide waters of the Sheepscot River about 10 miles from Wiscassett where he selected a place for his residence. He felled trees and built a cabin. The place was then called Old Town Alldeborough. Sometime after New Milford. It is now called Alne. Soon after his cabin was built he returned to the home of his youth to accompany his wife to their new residence.
    His father gave him a yoke of large oxen which were transferred in a vessel to Wiscassett from whence he led them by land to Alna. The oxen did not like the country and returned to NH through the forest, swimming rivers as best they could. Mr. Carleton subsequently built a large and commodious house, barn carriage-house and store.
    The house still remains a monument of the good taste and thrift of its builder. The sound condition of the covering boards provide proves that if the inhabitants have improved since these early days in the history of the town, there isn't now such lumber as was then found in the virgin forest.
    He engaged in agriculture, trade, and commerce. He built seven vessels some of which were taken by the French, and for which the United States are indeed indebted to his heirs. He was successful and acquired a large property, gained a good name, was honest and true in all the relations of life, pleasant and cheerful in his disposition, and died trusting in his Redeemer."
