  • Notes 
    • Edith Austin Moore,

      manuscript; JOSEPH AUSTIN OF DOVER, NH AND MATTHEW AUSTIN OF ME; p 123, 124.
      "Annis (Austin) Littlefield age 38 and 6 children sailed on the Bevis of
      So. Hampton for New England in May 1638 at the same time Richard Austin of
      Bishopstoke, Hants and his family sailed. With her came John Knight, carpenter
      and Heugh Deudal, servants.
      Edmund Littlefield came from Titchfield, ENG in 1637, settled at Exeter, NH
      and later moved to Wells, ME. He was one of the original settlers at Wells and
      probably built the first house there. In 1641 he built a saw and grist mill on
      the Webhannet River. He was agent of Thomas Gorges to give possession of house
      lots to settlers, and was one of the committee for settling the boundary
      between Wells and Cape Porpois, and a commissioner to try small causes from
      1654 to 1661. On Dec. 11, 1661, he made his will at Wells, ME. He named his
      wife, Annis and sons Thomas and Francis extrs. HE HAD TWO SONS NAMED FRANCIS,
      BOTH LIVING. Francis & Anthony came with their father in 1637."
