The Database for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel

Unknown - four individuals


Status (enslaved, free or both): free

Town: Wells (Kennebunk)

Known dates: 1790

The 1790 Census for Wells provided a count of 4 under "All Other Free Persons" in the household of Tobias Lord. These may have been people who were formerly enslaved.

The assumption made here is that this 1790 census listing is for Lt. Tobias Lord (1748-1808), the son of Capt. Tobias Lord (1724-1809) of Arundel, who is also listed in this database.
