| Notes |
- David Pulsifer Jr. served as Pvt. in the Revolutionary War. In 1790
he settled in Poland, Maine, where he moved from Essex Co., Mass.,
taking all his family with him except for Hannah (Mrs. Knowlton). She
followed him some 25 years later with part of her family. David
purchased his farm at Bakersfield, now Poland, consisting of 5
hundred acres of land, at $1.25 per acre which he divided among his
sons, all grown men. Two of his sons, Jonathan and Ephraim had
already married and had children. These two sons followed the sea
previous to emigration to Maine. David and his sons cleared the farm
by cutting and burning the trees, which remained in the Pulsifer
family for nearly a century. The last Pulsifer owner of this farm was
the Hon. John Rust Pulsifer. It was sold to Mr. James S. Sandborn of
Chase and Sanborn of Boston in 1886 and was known as the Sanborn farm
and later as the Elmwood farm. After Mr. Sanborn's purchase of the
property from John Rust Pulsifer, he erected on it one of the
largest, most commedious and finely finished barns to be found in New
England. On the Sanborn or Elmwood farm, Mr. Sanborn bred fine
horses. The Elmwood farm lay on the south side of the county road and
along the western boundry of New Glousester, Me. in the Empire
Settlement.
