Most of the Vital Records are contained in each town office. The Maine Archives, located in Augusta, does have copies of many vital records and historical documents.
This 1837 Special Census was transcribed by Donald and Evelyn Wright on March 18, 2002. This information is free to the public. It is a rare find. The source of this information is located in the Maine State Archives, Augusta, ME. It is labeled Unincorporated townships of Penobscot County Apr 13th 1837. Only a few localities of the special census are known to exist by the Maine State Archives. We have attempted to transcribe this handwritten information accurately. Items in brackets [] were added by us for clarification that did not exist on the original document. Items in parenthesis () were our second guess where hand writing was difficult to read.

It was supposed when I made the return for the other unicorporated places
that the above named Gore was incorporated but it is not. I therefore have taken
the census and made return as as by law required.
Jacob W Stinchfield
Penobscot SS -- May 19 A.D. 1837
I, Jacob W Stinchfield do solemnly swear
that the number of persons set fourth in the return made by me agreeably to the
provisions of the Act entitled "An Act providing for the disposition and
repayment of the public money apportioned to the state of Maine, on deposite, by
the Government of the United States, has been ascertained by an actual inquiry
at every dwelling-house or a personal inquiry of the head of every family, in
conformity with the provisions of said Act; and the return aforesaid is correct
and true according to the best of my knowledge and belief. So help me God.
Signed Jacob W Stinchfield Subscribed and Sworn to before me Geo. B Moody,
Justice of Peace

This Regiment was organized at Bangor, Me.,
leaving there May 14th, 1861, and was mustered into the U. S. service at
Willett’s Point, Long Island, N. Y., May 28th, 1861, to serve two years.
Arrived at Washington on the 31st, and encamped on Meridian Hill until July 1st,
and at Falls Church, Va., until the 16th.
It took a prominent part in the
battle of Bull Run July 21st, losing in the engagement 47 killed and wounded,
and over 100 missing.
Arriving in Washington on the 23d, they garrisoned
at Fort Corcoran until the middle of Oct., when they were assigned to the 1st
Brigade, Porter’s Division, and left the Fort for Hall’s Hill, remaining there
until the 1st of March, 1862, at which time they advanced with the Army of the
Potomac on Manassus; afterwards participated in the siege of Yorktown.
On
the 27th of May, the regiment was engaged at the battle of Hanover Court House.
During this engagement their loss in killed was slight, though the number of
wounded was large.
The regiment took a prominent part in the battle of
Gaines Hill, and during the seven days retreat was repeatedly under fire, and at
the battle of Malvern Hill successfully held a dangerous and conspicuous
position during the day, losing but few men.
They remained several weeks
at Harrison’s Landing, when on its evacuation they were ordered to join Gen.
Pope’s Army, and on the 30th of August participated in the battle of Manassas.
They retreated with the army to Washington and encamped on Arlington
Heights, where after remaining three days they marched into Maryland.
At
the battle of Antietam on the 17th of Sept., the regiment was under fire in the
reserve, and after the battle were among the first to enter Sharpsburg after the
enemy had left.
Shortly after this the regiment in an effort to ford the
river at Shephardstown, was confronted by a largely superior force of the enemy,
and under a galling fire, were obliged to reford the river.
On the 13th
of Dec., the regiment took a prominent part in the battle of Fredericksburg.
Their loss in killed and wounded in that engagement was very heavy.
During Gen. Hooker’s operations at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, the
regiment formed a part of the right wing of his army, and at the last named
battle in May, 1863, was mostly behind breastworks.
When the regiment’s
time expired in May, 125 of the number of men who were sworn in for three years,
were transferred to the 20th Me. Vols., and the remainder, 275, including
officers and men, returned to Maine, where they were mustered out of the U. S.
service at Bangor, June 4th and 9th, 1863, by Capt. Thomas C. J. Baily, 17th U.
S. Infantry.
This Regiment was organized at Bangor, Me., Aug. 21st, 1862, to serve 3 years, and left Aug. 24th for Washington, D. C., where, after occupying a position on the Virginia side, and doing garrison duty for nearly five months, in accordance with orders from the War Department, the organization was changed to Heavy Artillery, and by General Order No. 62, Adjutant General’s Office, of Maine, series of 1862, was designated as the 1st Regiment Heavy Artillery of Maine Volunteers. --Annual Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Maine for the year ending December 31, 1866, p. 132.
