Do you know of Sheepscott Bridge ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Sheepscott Bridge. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Sheepscott Bridge.<1>

Our sources for Sheepscott Bridge (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Sheepscott Bridge other than they indicate that Sheepscott Bridge would be found somewhere in Lincoln County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1820 and closed  in 1894.
