Mal and Kris at the Ingalls/McCoy Wedding

Over the winter, Marilyn Murray Kristiansen, Bryce’s eldest daughter, took on the Herculean job of researching the deed history of Alewife Cove from ‘beginning to end’. No small job this. Spanning some 330+ years, the work she has produced is astounding in it’s depth and thoroughness. It is complete whilst providing ample opportunities for further investigation. I for one am excited at the thought that we have connections to the Pepperell and Wentworth families. They being some of the most known and respected names of Portsmouth and Kittery before the Revolution.

Marilyn has been kind in allowing me to publish her work here on the blog. Many thanks to Mal. I only hope I do her work proper justice. I have decided to publish her work unedited. I am going to break it into sections for easier serializing. I will be adding my thoughts, links and images after her work. The sections will be as follows (clink on the section to read)

  1. Up to 1700
  2. 1700 to 1750
  3. 1750 to 1800
  4. 1800 to 1850
  5. 1850 to 1900
  6. 1900 to the present
  7. Maps and Images

As this is an ongoing project, I recommend checking in occasionally for updates.
