Three ledgers containing the records of a sawmill in Dennysville, Maine, during the middle of the 19th century. Two of the ledgers are organized by log brands and cover the years 1835 to 1878. The third ledger seems to record the receipt of logs from a log drive. Included are records of who sawed and hauled the logs, by whom they were surveyed and rafted, by whom shipped, destination, and purchaser. Names mentioned frequently are John Kilby, Theosophilus Kilby, Benjamin Foster, John Mayhew, and Thomas Eastman. One of the ledgers also contains a register of attendees at Silver Teas held from 1938 to 1941 in the John Kilby House in Dennysville which may have been managed by Keith Kilby.

3 folders (3 ledgers ; 33-34 cm.)
