Person:Thaddeus Oldham (1)

He and his brother Daniel came from Pembroke, Ma. to Buckfield prior to 1812, to Sumner prior to the 1820 USC, and then to Peru in the fall of 1827. He settled on the hillside on the New County Road as it left Worthley Pond up over the mountain to the valley of Peru Center. Here he cleared himself a lot and build himself a log cabin, where his last 4 sons were born.

He served under Capt. David Bryant of Buckfield, in 1813, and for his service, he was granted a land grant.
