Just when I thought I had only enough information for one or two
more posts on Jeremiah Swain, I've found more! Another search
on Google Books brought the Documentary History of the State of
Maine which includes correspondence between Swain and the
government back in Boston. One is a letter of instruction to him
which is pretty lengthy but I'd like to publish it in its entirety
because of the insight it gives into the Puritan mindset. So I
now probably will have six or seven more blogposts on old
Jeremiah. Who knew I could find this much in my 9x great
grandfather?
It'll be a day or two before I post them though because I like to
send the information out to my Aunt Dot and Cousin Diana
before I post it here!
