On settling in this country he wished to take up his old emplyment, as he knew no other way of gaining a livelihood, but he had no loom, nor did he know where one could be obntained on this side of the water. With no guide but memory, he began to construct one. He knew nothing of the use of tools, and could not explain the complicated machinery to competent workmen. Consequently, he was obliged to draw a chalk diagram of each seperate piece of the loom; and his delight may be imagined when on testing the completed machine, it was found to do satisfactory work. This first loom was run by hand. Subswquently he conceived the idea of attaching water power to the machinery, and greatly enlarged his first plans.

From Hallowell, he move to Readfield, from which he removed after a residence of five or six years to the Nraddock Chandler neighborhood of Winthrop. Here he erected a building for the manufacture of tape, which was afterward removed to North Monmouth.

Right to Vote is denied on other grounds than rebellion or other crimes
"column 20. Many persons never try to vote, and therefore do not know whether their right to vote is or is not abridged. It is not only those whose votes have actually been challenged, and refused at the polls for some disability or want of qualification, who must be reported in this column; but all who come within the scope of any State law denying or abridging suffrage to any class or individual on any other ground than participation in rebellion, or legal conviction of crime. Assistant marshals, therefore, will be required to carefully study the laws of their own States in these respects, and to satisfy themselves, in the case of each male citizen of the United States above the age of 21 years, whether he does or does not, come within one of these classes.

When he was sixteen years old his father died, leaving the industry he had founded to his widow and son. They took in as a parternm Richard C, Dodd, an Englishman who had been in Mr. Stanton's employ, and moved their webbing machinery into a mill on the upper dam built by Gen. John Chandler for a clapboard mill. The water-powered enabled them to run their looms more rapidly, and the industry was beginning to promise a competence when the disastrous fire of Apr 4, 1841, swept everything away.

In the meantime webbing looms had been built by Fairbanks & co in the mill now owned by Mr McIlroy, and as Mr. Stanton was throughly acquainted with the business, they were glad to furnish him employment. He carried his first month's wages home and turned it into his mother's lap to help support the family. "No, Thomas" said the mother, "I am not going to take your money from you. Put it away and keep it." He followed her advice, and when, in after time, his emplyers wished to sell their business, he was prepared to purchase it.
