    page 106, "It was soon ascertained to be an easier route to go up the Kennebec River to Hallowell , thence by land through what is now Winthrop , Wayne , and East Livermore , to Livermore , crossing the Androscoggin below "the rips," a mile below what has since been Benjamin's Ferry . This ferry below the rips was kept by old Reuben Wing , the husband of "Aunt Priss Wing ," a somewhat famous personage in the early history of Livermore ; and the writer has it by tradition that Dea. Livermore gave Wing a lot of land on the east side of the river to keep the ferry for the accommodation of those wishing to pass, who also paid their ferriage.

    The date is estimated based on the sale by Reuben and Priscilla Wing of lot 172 in the town of Winthrop to Ichabod Billington on 14 June 1779. The sale was probably in preparation for the move to Livermore. See Harold C. Perham's Reuben Wing Senior cited above.
