| 25586 | This is a short excerpt from "Wells: The Frontier Town of Maine" Volume II by Esselyn Gilman Perkins Edmund Littlefield was the first man appointed to "keep an ordinarie" the name given to the taverns. Tavern keepers were selected for their intelligence, their ability to inform people of interesting happenings, and because they were capable to assume such an office of trust. All were licensed to sell intoxicating liquors. From time to time, others built such taverns, or ordinaries. These were scattered over the town, some of which are listed in old records, others no doubt simply vanished with many of the "lost" recordings of the past. A few whose names have been preserved, and commonly known as "keepers" include Nathaniel Kimball, John Cheater, James Littlefield - who had both tavern and garrison at Batcomb (Moody), Moses Littlefield, Nicholas Littlefield (his tavern was at Maryland Ridge), and the well-known Jefferds Tavern built in Wells by Simon Jefferds, later remodeled by his son William, and in recent years sold to the Old York Landmarks, Inc., and moved to York Village where it may be seen today. Women were also very capable tavern keepers as is illustrated by the one known as the Widow Lydia Littlefield Tavern. This one was built onMaryland Ridge in 1812 by her husband, Joseph - a direct descendant of the pioneer Edmund. Mrs. Lydia (Pattern) Littlefield when left a widow turned to serving the public with food, drink and lodging (1827). This tavern of old is standing as a beautiful remodelled estate. Matthew Lindsay built his tavern about 1799 on the highway just above the present Wells Corner. The most popular of the beverages sold at the taverns was flip - a drink prepared from beer or ale and rum, sweetened by adding sugar or molasses,then the mixture was warmed by thrusting a red hot iron (sometimes a fire poker) into the mug. Another drink was toddy which was made from rum and water sweetened and warmed in the same manner as the flip. Other drinks included rum, cider,brandy and ale. In the early taver years coffee and tea were not available. The first coffee in Wells has been recorded as in the early 1700s. There is a record price in 1768 of the drinks that were served(these seemed to be popular prices of the day) as follows: 1/2 mug toddy- 2s 6d; 1 mug flip - 5s; 1/2 mug flip - 2s 6d; 1 mug cider - 1s. Two other drinks have been previously mentioned - perry and metheglin. The taverns were the scene of many an important business transaction. Even the Courst were held at certain taverns. The patrons' comfort was the prime concern of the owner. For example: in the kitchen of the Widow Lydia Littlefield Tavern there were two large hooks which supported a long poleon which the wet clothing of the guests might be dried. Quite often the landlord was faced with the probelem of room; and when this occurred. He thought nothing of asking his guest to share a bed with another, or possibly two or three weary travelers. Quoting from the early Court record passages which pertain to the "ordinarys" - "1659 July 4, Ordinary License granted to William Hammonds. Again in 1664, September 13, "Lycence granted to Francis Littlefield, Sr. to keepe an ordinary - Granted same Liberty of haveing a tavern" | Littlefield, Edmund (I9580)
