Lot 17 is clearly indicated on the lot plan of Calais found on page 30 of the 1881 Colby Atlas of Washington Co. The residences of John Glidden & E Glidden are marked on Calais Plan No 1 on page 11. On the latter plan, the Glidden's owned the 2nd & 3rd from last houses of what is now the Hard Scrabble Rd. On DeLorme's The Maine Atlas, it appears the Gliddens lived about where the tared road ends and the gravel road begins. I'm not familiar with this road, so best I can do. Hope it helps.

Abiel Wood of Wiscasset, Esquire, for $550.00 sells Joseph W. Glidden "now conversant of Calais…a certain lot of land situate and being in said town of Calais and numbered seventeen in the second range of lots back from the Schoodiac river on the plan of said Calais by Benjamin R. Jones and adjoining on the southerly and westerly end the long Megurrawock lot so-called numbered fifty on said plan, and on the westerly side of said lot the lot owned by Isaiah Merryfield referring to said plan for a more full and definite description of said lot which contains by estimation one hundred ninety three acres…" signed by Abiel Wood Nov. 17, 1829 (Washington Co. Deeds, Vol. 21, p. 75-76). Later deeds involving the same parcel refer to "Nash's Mill road on the side line between lots numbered seventeen and eighteen in the second range...," if that helps. This land was the original Glidden homestead farm in Calais. David Mitchell James PO Box 743 Rye, NH 03870-0743 jamesdm49@aol.com
