Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bridgton Town Register, 1905 In the year 1761 the Legislature of Massachusetts passed an act granting to Benjamin Milliken, Moody Bridges, and Thos. Perley, agents for the legal representatives of Capt. John Tyler, and 56 others, - soldiers and officers in the Canada Expedition of 1690, a township of land east of Saco River. They proceeded to lay out a tract adjoining the town of Pickwocket, now Fryeburg, nine miles in length by six and a half miles in width, lying on both sides of Long Pond, and containing 37,440 acres. Their selection was confirmed by the Legislature, June 25, 1765, with the provision that a sixty-fourth part should be set apart for each, the first settled minister, for the support of the ministry, and for Harvard College, and that they settle 30 families, build a house of worship, and settle a learned Protestant preacher within six years.
