COL. GEORGE PECK-ADDENDA.

DENNYSVILLE, May 13, 1890.

Jos. W. PORTer, Esq. :

Dear Sir-I found in Gen. John Cooper's first Ledger, an account with Col. Peck, which I have copied and herewith send to you. I judge by the fact that in, at least, two instances, he sends articles to him by Mark Allan, (son of Col. John) that he was living in Lubec, in 1788-9.

Mr. Cooper was at that time trading at Soward's Neck, a part of Lubec township, some two or three miles from the village.

Yours truly,

This family of Islesboro, unless otherwise given.

DOCTOR MANLY HARDY, OF BUCKSPORT.

Doctor Hardy was born in New Sweden, New Hampshire, 1778, so an account says. He had an academical education and studied medicine with the Doctors Spofford, of Rowley, Mass. His diploma I give here:

"TO THE WORLD.

But especially to the inhabitants of Pelham and its vicinity: This may certify that Doct'r Manly Hardy, of said Pelham, has been for six months past reading the theory and Practise of physick and surgery with us, the subscribers; and also visiting the sick at all convenient and proper opportunities; it further appears he had been attending to the theory and Practise of the above arts with Doct'r Grovner of said Pelham, a distinguished character, for considerable time previous to his being with us. We are confident Nature has been liberal to him even unto excess; and that his acquired abilities are great and good, so far, that we think we can with boldness recommend him to the world (so far as we are judges,) to be well qualified to undertake the very important business of practising physick and surgery. We make no doubt if he is employed and he pays that attention to the business its importance requires, which no doubt he will, he will shine with distinguished luster, and will be an Ornament to the Profession, therefore we do recommend him to your attention and employ.

ROWLEY, December 22, 1799.

AMOS SPOFFORD, MOSES D. SPOFFORD."

Doctor Hardy settled in Bucksport in 1812, and commenced the practice of his profession, in which he was very successful. He was well known in Eastern Maine for his preparation for the cure of jaundice, Hardy's Bitters. This medicine was in great popular use, also for the prevention of disease. No dispenser of liquors could keep house without it. Dr. Hardy was Town Clerk for many years, and also a Justice of the Peace. In this last capacity I think he tried more causes than any other Justice of his time. His docket now in possession of his grandson, E. A. Buck, of Bangor, shows this fact. Dr. Hardy was a noted musician, and an enthusiastic sportsman, in both of which he excelled. In he removed to Bangor.

He died Nov. 23, 1849-50, aged 71 years, 6 months.

He married Mary Sherburn. She died in Bangor, May 2, 1853, aged

75.
