Coroner Reports Filed with the Secretary of State (Maine)
- Inquest reports, witness depositions, and coroner accounts related to the investigation of deaths. Some reports were filed with the Secretary of State, and some were filed in various county courts.
Plantation Returns
- Plantations are a unique form of local government in Maine, existing in sparsely populated areas as a step between unincorporated areas and full town status. In 1840, a law provided that plantations could organize “for election purposes,” only requiring a return to the Secretary of State of the date of organization and a description of bounds. This act was the impetus for groupings of scattered settlers or lumbermen to gather as communities, and large areas were often organized into one plantation. These records range from 1840 – 1891.
Miscellaneous Filings
- The Secretary of State's Office is responsible for receiving many different filings to the State, known as Miscellaneous Filings. The earliest forms of these were recorded in bound volumes and included proclamations and nominations from the Governor, extraditions, and official appointments.
