  • Notes 
    • John was in the Revolutionary War on board a privateer. In 1790 he came from Boston in a sloop as far as Falmouth, Maine and then walked to Livermore, Maine. He told his children that when he reached Livermore, only a King's shilling was in his purse.

      His lot, no. 39, was just east of Abel's and he built a log house near a spring of water in the orchard northeast of several buildings which were erected in 1801.
