Year	Type of Manuscript	Location	Names Mentioned	Notes
1808	Summons	Nobleborough, Maine; Fairfax, Maine	Isaac Teague, Seth Perkins, Robert Huston	An indenture, with a couple of receipts tacked on, concerning a debt owed by Isaac Teague to Seth Perkins, a husbandman (that is, farmer) from Fairfax, Maine. The debt concerned six dollars.
1808	Summons	Newcastle, Maine; Boston, Massachusetts; Brookfield, Massachusetts	Ezra Teague, Henry Rice, Chauncey Reid, Tilly Rice, John Fowler, Robert Huston	In this document, some representatives of Rice, Reed & Co., merchant retailers from Massachusetts, set out to recover an unpaid debt by Ezra Teague. A small receipt enclosed shows that Mr. Teague eventually paid.
1809	Complaint	Newcastle, Maine; Nobleborough, Maine	Joseph Teague, Benjamin Plummer, Robert Huston	Another complaint, filed before the Justice of the Peace, Robert Huston, against Joseph Teague. In this document, Huston says "bring him before me" so that he may answer to a charge brought about by Benjamin Plummer, Jr. who claimed that Teague owed him "on demand with interest the sum of four dollars and fifty-six cents." Teague never paid, and now has to face the wrath of the notorious Huston! Interesting piece of regional history!
1809	Receipt	Nobleborough, Maine	Benjamin Plummer, Joseph Teague	A receipt for four dollars and fifty cents, paid by Joseph Teague to Benjamin Plummer.
1811	Receipt	Newcastle, Maine	Samuel Rust, Ezra Teague	This small-sized receipt reads: "For value received of Samuel Rust. I promise to pay him on order in ten days of the date two dollars and fifty-five cents with interest. Signed, Ezra Teague."
1812	Affadavit	Bristol, Maine	Ezra Teague, Samuel Rust, Robert Huston	Another summons whereby Justice of the Peace Huston hauls someone before him on the name of some impropriety--in this case, Ezra Teague, a shipwright (alias yoeman) for supposedly not paying Country Trader Samuel Wright the money he owes him (in this case thirteen dollars--"and interest thereof"). Nice document, with one wax seal.
1813	Summons	Nobleborough, Maine	Daniel Day, William Teague, Robert Huston	In this summons from the Maine courts (while it was still part of Massachusetts, hence the "Commonwealth of Mass" heading, although all the towns discussed herein were/are actually in Maine), William Teague, a yeoman farmer, is assessed with fees owed Daniel Day, a shipwright. Interesting document from the post-colonial court system, with some hand-etched scrawl on the side and one wax seal.
1813	Summons	Bristol, Maine; Nobleboro, Maine	Sara Teague, Stephen Hodgdon, Robert Huston	A court case, presided over by Robert Huston, telling the tale of two men who got into a legal wrangle over one dollar! Good shape, one wax seal, with one neat little receipt/attachment.
1813	Court Docket	Nobleborough, Maine	Daniel Day, William Teague, Robert Huston	Court record of a case from Nobleborough, Maine (ignore "Commonwealth of Mass" heading--Maine was part of Mass at the time) in which William Teague (yeoman) is suing Daniel Day (shipwright) for seventeen dollars and thirty-seven cents. Nice wax seal.
1814	Court Docket (no photo available)	Nobleborough, Maine	Richard Jennings, William Teague, Robert Huston	An indenture from the Maine court system in which William Teague, shipwright, is being sued by Richard Jennings, a merchant. The honorable Robert Huston presides. Please note: although this document reads "Commonwealth of Massachusetts," the actual events took place in the state of Maine (which wasn't so named at the time, still belonging to Massachusetts and all..poor fellows).
1819	Summons	Nobleborough, Maine; Newcastle, Maine	Thomas Teague, Charles Nickels	This document describes a court case in which Charles Nickels, a lawyer from Newcastle, Maine, brings "shipwright" (a ship builder) named Thomas Teague before the courts to answer charges that he owes him five dollars and fifty cents. A nice little receipt attachment is included as well.
1845	Petition	Briston. Maine	James Woodward, Joseph Teague, Elisa Hitchcock, Job Hassey	A petition from the residents of the town of Bristol, Maine to the Selectmen of the town, calling for a town meeting, and the building of a new school house in 1845. Nice, handwritten document..good shape.
