Inhabitants of Bloomfield v. Inhabitants of Skowhegan

16 Me. 58

Opinion

By the Court.

The settlement of the pauper is derived from her father, Jonathan Ireland, who derived his settlement from Abraham Ireland, his father. The settlement of Abraham was in that part of Canaan, which is now Bloomfield, ft does not appear, that the grandfather, father or daughter subsequently obtained any settlement elsewhere. Jt is very clear then, that by the act incorporating Bloomfield, the derivative settlement of the paupers remains in that town.

Plaintiffs nonsuit.
