 Introduction. 
 
 Lebanon, Maine, is the birthplace of the writer of the following 
 pages. Four generations of his ancestors lived, died, and are buried 
 in its soil. The two older generations lie in unmarked and unknown 
 graves. What is true of the writer's ancestors in Lebanon is also 
 true of three- fourths of those buried in Lebanon previous to 1820. 
 
 Of the two or three hundred graves in the First Parish Cemetery, 
 there are to-day only about twenty-five having stones properly in- 
 scribed, the earliest bearing the date, 1805. 
 
 To rescue from oblivion the names of those early settlers of my 
 native town who rendered military service to the United States in 
 maintaining American Independence is the chief reason for these 
 pages. Their names and military sen-ices deserve to be perpetuated 
 by succeeding generations. 
 
 No Lebanon Revolutionary soldier's name or service has been 
 omitted intentionally ; and yet, it is doubtful if all Lebanon men who 
 were in the service between 1775 and 1783 have been found and are 
 included in these pages. The war rolls of New Hampshire and Mas- 
 sachusetts in all probability do not contain a complete list of names. 
 
 Considerable difference exists in the nature and length of these 
 sketches. This difference arises, not from any desire to magnify nor 
 minify any record, but from a great difference in the amount of ma- 
 terial that came under my eye when searching for facts relating to 
 Lebanon heroes of the Revolution. Each man's sketch is the story 
 of the records. 
 
 My grateful acknowledgement is due to many, and, especially, to 
 Hon. Samuel Wingate Jones, M. D., a life-long friend and neighbor, 
 who, in his ninetieth year, with memory unimpaired and historic in- 
 terest undiminished, has read my manuscript with care and given in- 
 valuable suggestions and criticisms.

 SOLDIERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 
 
 OF 
 
 LEBANON, MAINE. 
 
 BERRY. 
 
 1. THOMAS BERRY was living in L. as early as 1774, when on 6 
 Jan. he hauled wood for the Rev. Isaac Hasey. Mr. Hasey wrote a 
 bond for him 6 Aug., 1774. In Mr. Hasey's diary for 1775 he wrote 
 on 18 May: "Tom Berry assisted" in farm work. In Mass. Arch- 
 ives, Vol. 19, p. 161, he is described as "a private, belonging to the 
 town of Lebanon, in Capt. Jedediah Goodwin's Co. of Col. Edward 
 Wigglesworth's Reg't; discharged at Albany, N. Y., 30 Nov., 
 1776." He was one of the men of whom Mr. Hasey wrote 22 July, 
 1776, "our Men with Lieut. Cowel Set out for Canada." 
 
 He probably resided in town temporarily, as the name is not found 
 on the church, parish, or town records. It is found in Mr. Hasey's 
 diaries only. 
 
 BLAISDELL. 
 
 2. JOHN BLAISDELL was b. Aug. 15, 1756. The Rev. Amos 
 Main of Rochester, N. H., entered on the records of the First Church 
 of Rochester the following : "1757 At ye Ministers Fast at Toicow 
 [Lebanon] Baptized Jn Blaisdell", etc. 
 
 He enlisted as a private in Capt. Samuel Grant's Co. of Col. 
 Oliver Titcomb's Reg't and received pay for two months' service and 
 for travelling to and from Rhode Island 18 July, 1777. He also 
 enlisted 10 Nov., 1777, as private in Capt. Oliver Titcomb's Co. of 
 Col. Jacob Gerrish's Reg't, and after nine days' service was promoted 
 to Sergeant of the Guards raised for guarding prisoners after the 
 surrender of Burgoyne's army. He served until 2 April, 1778. He 
 was made a Mass, state pensioner for life 5 Feb., 1816. 
 
 He m. (1) at L. 12 July, 1779, Abigail, daug. of John and Sarah 
 Legro, the first of that name to settle in town. He in. (2) 24 March, 
 1822, Mrs. Sarah (Blaisdell) Home, widow of Richard Home of L.,
 
 and daug. of Enoch and Sarah (Mclntire) Blaisdell of L. She was 
 bapt. at L. 3 July, 1777. 
 
 John Blaisdell was ordained a Free Baptist clergyman at Lebanon 
 21 Nov., 1799, by Benjamin Randall, the founder of that denomina- 
 tion. He was the first permanent resident Free Baptist clergyman 
 in L. He continued to preach in this and adjoining towns until his 
 death 30 Aug., 1823. He settled the farm now (1896) owned by 
 Amasa Grant, in the year 177|, which farm is situated in the north- 
 westerly part of the town not over one-half mile from the Milton, 
 N. H. line. By his wife Abigail, b. 5 Aug. 1762, he had :

 BURROWS. 
 
 3. DAVID BURROWS of L. was the son of Deacon Edward and 
 Mary Burrows, who were original settlers of L. He was born about 
 1760, and was baptized 23 March, 1766, by the Rev. Isaac Hasey, 
 first settled pastor of the First Parish of Lebanon. He enlisted in 
 the Revolutionary army for three years at Berwick, Me., 20 Dec., 
 
 1781. He is described on the muster roll of Domiuicus Goodwin as 
 of "light complexion, five feet, eight inches in stature, and twenty- 
 one years of age." 
 
 He was stationed at West Point where he died in about four 
 months from the time of his enlistment and before 16 April, 1782. 
 He was probably in Capt. Bowman's Company of the 5th Massachu- 
 setts Regiment. His brother, Jonathan Burrows, who was in Capt. 
 Bowman's Company at that time, wrote from West Point on 16 April, 
 
 1782, to "Deacon Edward Burrows, Living in Lebanon, County of 
 Old York," "the terrifying news of David's death." He had, how- 
 ever, no opportunity to forward the letter, now on file in the Pension 
 Department at Washington, until 21 May thirty-five days after its 
 composition.
 
 4. JONATHAN BURROWS of Lebanon was a son of Dea. Edward and 
 Mary Burrows of L. He was born about 1753, and had reached his 
 majority just before the beginning of the Revolution. He enlisted 
 three times. On 20 May, 1775, he enlisted in Capt. Philip Hub- 
 bard's Co., of Col. James Scammon's Reg't, which regiment was sta- 
 tioned on Bunker Hill, while the battle of the Seventeenth of June 
 following occurred on Breed's Hill. Scammon's Reg't was not in the 
 battle on that day, however. 
 
 His second enlistment, for three years, was before 10 March, 1776, 
 on which day he was a recruiting officer at Berwick, Maine, where 
 Jonathan Knox of Berwick and others enlisted under him. He soon 
 marched to Boston and joined Capt. Sullivan's Co. of Col. Jos- 
 eph Cilley's Reg't and Gen. Enoch Poor's Brigade He then marched 
 to New York with his troops from which point they sailed to Albany, 
 thence marching to Montreal. 
 
 During these three years he served for a portion of the time as 
 First or Orderly Sergeant. In February, 1777, he was in Capt. 
 Amos Emerson's Co. of Col. Joseph Cilley's New Hampshire Reg't. 
 Col. Cilley's report sent from Valley Forge 10 Jan. 1778, describes 
 him as "Serg't Jona n Burris, at time of his enlistment 23 years of 
 age, five feet, eight inches in height, eyes, hair and complexion light, 
 left at Manchester because of sickness." He was then in Capt. 
 Amos Emerson's Co. of the First New Hampshire Regiment. On 
 another roll he is described as "Jon* Burrou^/t.s, Serg't, Fifth Co., 
 First Reg't, commanded by Col Joseph Cilley." 
 
 In 1781 (probably 20 Dec.) he enlisted again for three years in 
 the Continental sen-ice, joining Capt. Bowman's Co. of the Fifth 
 Massachusetts Regiment. This time he served fourteen months and 
 27 March, 1783, secured a substitute in Joseph Stephens (Stevens) 
 of Lebanon who voluntarily consented to serve the remaining 
 twenty-two months for the wages due on account of Burrows from 
 15 Jan., 1782, to 15 April, 1783. Writing to his father after his 
 brother David's death, he said, "I am left alone and entirely com- 
 fortless." At this time, 21 May, 1782, he had living in Lebanon a 
 young wife and child, which fact connected with his brother David's 
 death explains why he wrote from West Point on the 16 April, 1782, 
 as follows : "Times are very dubious at present, for there is no 
 news of peace as yet. The Annies are all well disciplined and in 
 wonderful[ly] good spirits, and draw very good provisions, but no 
 money. &inc<> my misfortune has been so <jreat, I should be very 
 
 glad to be free from the service, but do not know how to get clear." 
 
 **#* 
 
 He, with four other brothers and one sister, was baptized at Leb- 
 anon 23 March, 1766, by the Rev. Isaac Hasey, first settled pastor 
 of the First Parish of Lebanon. In his letter to his father already 
 referred to, there is evidence that he possessed deep religious convic- 
 tions. On 25 May, 1780, he married at Lebanon, Elizabeth, daugh- 
 ter of Thomas and Elizabeth Witherell, who were original settlers of 
 Lebanon. At the close of his term of service in the Revolution, he 
 returned to Lebanon, where he ever after resided. He was a select-
 
 8 
 
 man of the town for 1784, 1786, and 1787. For many years he re- 
 sided on the Witherell-BurrowB farm, long since abandoned. On 
 this farm is the old family burying lot, in a neglected spot, covered 
 with shrubbery and surrounded with tall poplars that are destined to 
 perpetuate the local name of the neighborhood, "Poplar Hill." The 
 stones in the burying lot are shamefully shattered, giving evidence of 
 having been used for targets by ruthless sportsmen. Prom the frag- 
 ments of one can be read : 
 
 "LiKur. JONATHAN BURROWS, 
 died Jany 2, 1817, aged 64 years." 
 
 As his widow, Elizabeth Burrows lived in Lebanon many years, 
 receiving a pension from the Federal government, and in 1838, a 
 grant of land from the State. She died at Lebanon 23 Dec. 1850, 
 "aged 90 years and four months," (g. s.) and was buried by the side 
 of her husband whom she had joined in holy wedlock seventy years 
 before. Their children were :

 CANNEY (KENNEY). 
 
 5. JOHN CANNEY (Kenney), b. at Dover, N. H., 24 Aug., 1744, 
 was a son of Samuel and Susannah Canney of Dover, N. H., and 
 Lebanon. The father, Samuel, removed from Dover, N. H., to Leb- 
 anon about 1747, where he became the Jirst settler within the town- 
 ship. The son, John Canney, enlisted as a private in Capt. Jedediah 
 Goodwin's Co. of Col. Edward Wigglesworth's Reg't. He was in 
 the same company of which Ichabod Cowell was lieutenant, and 
 "Parson" Hasey's diary shows that on "22 July, 1776, our men 
 [Lebanon men] with Lieut. Cowell set out for Canada." His dis- 
 charge was dated at Albany 30 Nov., 1776. 
 
 As a selectman he rendered services in 1770, 1771, 1772 and in 
 1780, 1781, 1782. He removed from the original Canney farm now 
 (1896) owned and occupied by David W. Varney to the farm now 
 (1896) owned and occupied by Samuel Shapleigh. He was engaged 
 in farming and lumbering until his death which occurred about 1799.
 
 He was buried in the "Camp Hill" Cemetery, but the inscription 
 on his supposed stone is unintelligible. In 1782 he was chosen lieu- 
 tenant of the town militia and a little later Colonel, by which title he 
 was called. 
 
 He m. Mrs. Elizabeth (Thompson) McCrillis, the widow of Daniel 
 McCrillis of Lebanon. She had no children by Canney, and lived to 
 be 96 years of age. Her children by Daniel McCrillis were : Robert 
 (59) ; John, who m. 25 Nov., 1765, Mary Garland ; Elizabeth, who 
 m. 25 Oct., 1768, Daniel Roberts; and Jane, who m. Richard, son 
 of Benjamin and Hannah Furbish of L. 
 
 CHAMBERLAIN. 
 
 6. JASON CHAMBERLAIN (William 4 , William 8 , Jacob 2 , William 1 ) 
 a native of Rochester, N. H., but a resident of Lebanon, Maine, and 
 of Wolfboro', N. H., was a son of Capt. William and Eleanor (Home) 
 Chamberlain of Rochester, N. H., and Lebanon, Maine. 
 
 He was born at Rochester, N. H., probably on the original Cham- 
 berlain farm, which was at "Willow Brook," on the westerly side of 
 the main road leading from "Haven's Hill" to "Norway Plains," so 
 called, 9 Feb., 1756. When young he learned the tailor's trade, 
 probably of Mr. John Roberts, Sr., who followed that trade, and 
 lived on the Haven's Hill Road in Rochester, at that time. 
 
 On a muster roll dated 13 June, 1775, Jason Chamberlain "of 
 Rochester," "a private," occupation a "taylor," aged "19 years," 
 is described. He was then in Capt. Jonathan Wentworth's Co., of 
 Col. Enoch Poor's New Hampshire Reg't. Capt. Wentworth's Co. 
 was composed chiefly of men from Somersworth and Rochester in 
 New Hampshire, and from Berwick and Lebanon in Maine. 
 
 Mr. Chamberlain, with others of his company, acknowledged re- 
 ceiving "pay for coats promised his company, 12 Oct., 1775." He 
 enlisted a second time as a volunteer and received therefor a bounty 
 of ten pounds at Rochester 10 Aug., 1778. This enlistment was in 
 Capt. John Hill's Co. of Col. Joshua Wingate's Reg't., dating from 
 7 Aug., 1778. He "turned out" to join the Continental Army at 
 Providence, Rhode Island, under Gen. Sullivan, and was discharged 
 after 28 days of service. 
 
 He returned to Rochester where 2 Feb., 1780, he was married by 
 the Rev. Joseph Haven, then pastor of the Cong'l Church, to Mary, 
 daughter of Daniel and Abiah Brewster of Rochester. 
 
 Early in 1783, with his father's family, he removed to the adjoin- 
 ing town of Lebanon, Maine, where he resided on part of the farm 
 now (1895) owned by the heirs of Charles Burnham Chamberlain. 
 While living in Lebanon he was engaged in tailoring going from 
 house to house, when needed, after the custom of that time. 
 
 On 26 Feb., 1790, Mr. Chamberlain removed from Lebanon to 
 Wolf borough, N. H., where he resided until near the close of his 
 life. In 1820 he is reported as a Revolutionary pensioner, but only 
 for a short time, as he died in Jan., 1823, and is buried at Tuftou- 
 borough Neck, N. H. His wife, Mary, died in March, 1830 or '31 .
 
 10 
 
 Jason and Mary (Brewster) Chamberlain's children were : Daniel, 
 William, Jason, Jr., Abiah, Mary, Eleanor, and one who died in 
 childhood. From the six who married and had children, there are 
 many descendants who have become widely scattered. 
 
 CLARK. 
 
 1. JOSIAH C,LARK, a native of Berwick, or Wells, Me., is 
 named on a list of six mouths' men raised by the town of Wells, 
 Me., to serve in 1780. He is described oil the roll, Mass. Archives, 
 as 38 years of age; 5 ft., 10 in. in stature; of ruddy complexion; 
 a resident of Wells. He arrived at Springfield, Mass., 4 Aug., 1780, 
 in the 33d Division under command of Capt. Samuel Carr. He 
 marched 20 July, 1780, and was discharged 7 Sept., following. 
 
 He m. at Berwick, Me., 13 Feb., 1776, Patience, daug. of Eben- 
 ezer and Martha (Wentworth) Hanson of Berwick. After the Rev- 
 olution he removed to the farm in Lebanon now (1896) owned and 
 occupied by the heirs of Francis A. Shapleigh. He was living in 
 town 25 Aug,, 1782. His wife was baptized and joined Hasey's 
 Church 16 Aug., 1807. He d. at Lebanon in 1834 ; she was a pen- 
 sioner, and died at Lebanon in Feb., 1848, at the age of 92 years.

 x. JONATHAN, bapt. 16 Aug., 1807; m. Rebecca, dau. of George and 
 (Kenneston) Fall of L. ; resided in L. 
 
 COLE. 
 
 8. EBEXEZER COLE, probably a native of Somersworth, N. H. ; 
 resided there in early life. He removed to Lebanon as early as 1773, 
 where he resided until he enlisted in tiie Revolution. He was a pri- 
 vate in Lieut. Thomas Bragdon's Co., stationed at Kittery Point, 
 Me., 5 Nov., 1775. He was in the service three or more times. The 
 Rev. Isaac Hasey recorded in his diary, 11 Aug., 1776: "Bill up by 
 Mrs. Cole for her husband in ye army;" and 18 Aug. again: "Bill 
 up by Mrs. Cole for her husband sick in ye army." The "Parson" 
 wrote 9 Xov., 1776, "Bill up by E. Cole for his son returned from 
 ye army." 
 
 Between 30 May and 13 June, 1777,, he enlisted in Capt. Samuel 
 Derby's Co. of Col. John Bailey's Battalion, and his name was re-
 
 11 
 
 ported with others mustered by Joseph Bragdon on a muster-roll, 
 dated "York, 13 June, 1777." 
 
 On 14 March, 1778, Hasey recorded, "Bill by Mrs. Cole for her 
 husband in ye army;" and on *15 May he wrote, "Cole died in ye 
 army." He was at Valley Forge 25 Jan., 1778. (See Mass. Arch- 
 ives, Vol. 10, p. 81.) 
 
 His wife was Mary (Molly) daughter of Ebenezer and Sarah 
 (Roberts) Weutworth of Somersworth, N. H. She was born about 
 1744, and became a member of Hasey's Church 11 July, 1773. 
 
 Mr. Cole resided on a part of the farm now (1896) owned by the 
 heirs of Benjamin C. Hurd ; and a section of this farm called the 
 "Cole Field" perpetuates the name of this hero who gave his life for 
 our American Independence. 
 
 His children, baptized at Lebanon 20 Aug., 1773, were Abigail, 
 Esther, Mary and Sarah Wentworth ; 25 Sept., 1774, Ebenezer, Jr. ; 
 and 21 Dec, 1777, Ruth. After Mr. Cole's death, his widow mar- 
 ried a second time according to the Wentworth Genealogy, which 
 also mentions another daughter by Cole, named Phebe. 
 
 He either had a sou in the army in 1776, or his father was the E. 
 Cole referred to by Mr. Hasey. 
 
 COOK. 
 
 9. ABRAHAM COOK, born at Rochester, N. H., about 1761, is 
 described on the muster-roll as of "dark complexion, five feet, five 
 inches in stature." He enlisted at Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 1779, 
 at the age of 18 years; and served on board the United States ship 
 "Ranger," Thomas Simpson, captain, Elijah Hall, lieutenant. 
 The "Ranger" sailed from Portsmouth to Boston, and from Boston 
 she put to sea in company with the "Warren" and the "Queen of 
 France." After some time they captured a small British privateer, 
 and on the day following, encountered the "Georgia Fleet" so called. 
 This fleet was under convoy and these American vessels took nine or 
 eleven of the fleet. The prizes were taken to Boston, and then to 
 Portsmouth, X. H., where Cook, with others, was discharged after 
 five months of service as a marine. 
 
 In the Mass. Archives, Vol. 45, p. 282, he is mentioned as in the 
 Second Reg't, 13th Co., engaged to reinforce the Continental Army 
 for nine months, agreeable to a resolve of the General Court of the 
 State of Mass. Bay, passed 9 June, 1779 ; and in Vol. 29, p. 116 of 
 same, he is mentioned as in the First Mass. Reg't serving to Jan'y 
 1, 1781. 
 
 In the spring of 1781 he enlisted at Lebanon to serve for three 
 years, or during the war ; inarched to Boston ; joined the First 
 Mass. Reg't. in Capt. Allen's Co. as a private; was at West Point 
 and served two years. 
 
 At the close of the war he returned to Lebanon, and soon 
 married Sarah Nutter of Newington, N. H. When the Second 
 
 'War roll reads "17 Mav, 1778."
 
 12 
 
 War with Gt. Britain occurred, he enlisted again, but this time never 
 to return. While in the service he died at Greenbush, L. I. ( ?) 15 
 July, 1813, leaving a widow, who was living as his widow 1 June, 
 1840 at the age of 84, and a large family. 
 
 His widow received a grant of land from the State under the re- 
 solve of 17 March, 1835, which grant was lot No. 4, or 5, in the 
 First Range of lots in the township of Mars Hill, Me. She deeded 
 her lot to David Legro of Lebanon who bequeathed it to Hon. 
 Samuel W. Jones, M. D., of Lebanon. 
 
 When the line between Maine and New Brunswick was established 
 by the terms of the Webster- Ashburton Treaty of 1842, a part of 
 this land fell to New Brunswick. In recent years the United States 
 government indemnified the owners who lost their possessions at 
 Mars Hill in 1842. 
 
 "Cook's Hill" in the southerly part of the town of Lebanon 
 where Abraham Cook resided perpetuates his name. I have been 
 unable to find any family record. 
 
 10. DANIEL COOK of Lebanon enlisted as a private in Capt. 
 Ebenezer Sullivan's Co. of Col. James Scammon's Reg't. 5 May 
 1775. He served three months and three days. Col. Scammon's 
 Reg't was at Bunker Hill on the memorable 1 7 June 1 775 ; but Froth- 
 ingham states that his men were not in the actual battle of that day. 
 (Mass. Archives, vol. 16 p. 44.) On 5 Jan., 1779, the Rev. Isaac 
 Hasey records the marriage of Daniel Cook Junr. and Christian 
 Perry at Lebanon. I have found nothing more on Lebanon records 
 concerning any Daniel Cook. 
 
 11. DAVID COOK enlisted 5 May, 1775, in Capt. Eben'r Sullivan's 
 Co. of the Thirteenth Reg't. of Foot commanded by Col. James 
 Scammon and belonging to the United Colonies of North America. 
 
 He m. at Lebanon 19 July, 1772, Abigail Garland, daug. of 
 Dodavah Garland of Lebanon, the Rev. Isaac Hasey performing the 
 ceremony. He died in the army, and his widow Abigail m. second, 
 at Lebanon 13, or 18, May or June, 1779, Richard Perkins (64) of 
 Lebanon, "Parson" Hasey again performing the marriage. 
 
 COPP. 
 
 12. SAMUEL COPP, one of the early settlers of Lebanon, came 
 probably from the adjoining town of Rochester, N. H., as early as 
 1767. He settled in the extreme western part of the town, in the 
 Salmon Falls river valley, and was the first person to clear a farm in 
 that immediate locality. The house erected by him in 1778, the 
 oldest now (1896) standing in town, is owned and occupied by 
 Frederic Dixon, being in a good state of preservation. 
 
 On 14 July, 1776, Rev. Isaac Hasey wrote in his diary : "Bill up 
 by Sam. Copp for himself bound into ye army" ; and on the next 
 day he wrote, "Col. Goodwin here to muster and pay men." 
 
 On a New Hampshire muster-roll dated at Charlestown, Mass., 
 27 July, 1776, his name appears as a lieutenant in Capt. Drew's Co.,
 
 13 
 
 raised for Canada out of Col. Evans's and Col. Badger's Regts. 
 Capt. Drew was of Barrington, N. H. 
 
 20 Nov., 1776, at Mount Independence, he, with other army 
 officers, signed a petition for certain persons for field-officers in the 
 third Battalion. 
 
 He was the first representative to the General Court from Leb- 
 anon, in 1772 ; a selectman of the town in 1777 and 1778 ; a mem- 
 ber of the First Church from 20 Aug., 1780; a deacon from 1781, 
 and subsequently an elder in that church. He was a man of great 
 physical strength, as were his sons. He was buried on the farm that 
 he cleared, and his grave, unmarked, is in what is now a pasture on 
 the hill-side of the Dixon farm. "Copp's Bridge," spanning the 
 Salmon Falls river near this farm, is all that the present generation 
 have to remind them of Samuel Copp. His first wife was Hannah 
 Hayes of Rochester, N. H., by whom he had ten children. He 
 manTed second, at Lebanon 21 June, 1798, Sarah [(Scates) Knox- 
 Wentworth] widow of Thomas Knox of Berwick, Me., and of Na- 
 thaniel Wentworth of Middleton, N. H. He died before 1818 at 
 which date his widow Sally paid a ministerial tax. Children by 
 wife Hannah, not arranged according to ages :

 CO ItS OX (C OURS ON.) 
 
 13. AARON COKSON (Courson) came to L. from Rochester, N. 
 H., about 1769. His brother Samuel Corson came to this town
 
 14 
 
 about 1760 and d. in 1785. Aaron was a Corporal in Capt. Jede- 
 diah Goodwin's Co. of Col. Edward Wigglesworth's Reg't. The 
 roll shows that he was discharged at Albany, N. Y., 30 Nov., 1776. 
 
 He was an original settler of the farm now (1896) owned and 
 occupied by the widow of William A. Corson. He was buried in 
 "Camp Hill" Cemetery in an unmarked grave. 
 
 He had a son John Sr. who m. at L. 13 Nov., 1794 Tamson 
 Hodgdon; bed. 18 April 1855 ae. 82 years (g.s.) ; she died 10 
 July 1865, ae. 91 yrs. 1 mo. 16 ds. (g.s.). 
 
 He had another son Enoch who m. Betsey dang, of Daniel and 
 Dorothy (Tuttle) Lord of L. His daughter Dorcas, died unmarried. 
 
 14. JOHN CORSON (Courson) of Lebanon enlisted 20 May, 1775 
 in Capt. Philip Hubbard's Co. of Col. James Scammon's Reg't. 
 Scammon's Reg't. of Maine men was on Bunker Hill while the 
 battle of 17 June, 1775, occurred on Breed's Hill. Corson was a 
 private and died in the army 27 July, 1775. His parentage I have 
 been unable to learn. 
 
 15. MOSES CORSON (Courson) of Lebanon m. at L. 15 May, 
 1769, Elizabeth Perkins, the Rev. Isaac Hasey performing the 
 marriage. 
 
 He enlisted (See Mass. Archives, Vol. 56, p. 196,) in Capt. 
 Philip Hubbard's Co. of Col. James Scammon's Reg't. Scammon's 
 Reg't. composed of Maine men, was at Bunker Hill 17 June, 1775, 
 and witnessed the memorable battle of that day. On 18 May, 1775 
 Rev. Isaac Hasey wrote in his diary, "Mose Corson sowed and 
 harrowed bushel of peas" [for me]. On 18 June 1775 Mr. Hasey 
 wrote, "Bill up by Elizabeth Corson for her husband in ye Army;" 
 and 2 July, 1775 he again wrote, "Moses Corson Came from ye 
 Army." 
 
 CO WELL. 
 
 16. ICHABOD COWELL was b. 25 Dec. 1734. (g. s.) He is first 
 mentioned at Rochester, N. H., where the Rev. Amos Main as a 
 physician charged him for medical attendance 18 Sept., 1756. At 
 a town meeting held at Rochester in 1762 he was chosen field-driver. 
 
 He removed to L. soon after 1762 where he became an original 
 settler in the First Division of Home- Lots. The farm he first cleared 
 is now (1896) owned by Warren Jones of Rochester, N. H. 
 
 He was twice in the Revolutionary army. In Capt. David 
 Copp's Co. mustered by Capt. George Turner 25 Nov., 1775, he 
 was No. 45. This company of "minutemen" was raised pursuant 
 to an order of the Committee of Safety given 12 Oct., 1775, and a 
 portion of the men went to Winter Hill, Charlestown, (now Somer- 
 ville) to take the place of the retiring Conn, troops in Dec. follow- 
 ing. 
 
 On 22 July, 1776, he enlisted at Berwick, Me., as a lieutenant in 
 Capt. Jedediah Goodwin's Co. of Col. Edward Wigglesworth's
 
 15 
 
 Reg't. from which he was discharged at Albany, N. Y., 30 Nov., 
 1776. 
 
 The Rev. Isaac Hasey wrote in his diary on Sunday 21 July, 
 1776: "Bill up by Ichabod Cowell for himself and son [John] 
 going into ye army." On the day following the "Parson" records : 
 "Rode to Cocheco, and Berwick where lo[d]ged at Col. [Jedediah] 
 Goodwin's ; our men with Lieut. Cowell set out for Canada." 
 
 His farm in the First Division he sold, presumably to Col. John 
 Goodwin who was its owner in 1782. After his return from the 
 army he removed to the Second Division where he purchased and 
 cleared "Lower Lot No. 7." "Parson" Hasey recorded that his 
 house was raised 4 Oct., 1788. On this lot now (1896) owned and 
 occupied by Isaac Chamberlain he established the first grocery store 
 in the western part of the town. 
 
 He was chosen a selectman in 1769, 1770, 1773, 1774, 1779, and 
 1785. He joined the First Parish church of L. 11 July, 1773, and 
 on the same day his sons were baptized. His wife, the mother of 
 these children, bore the given name Priscilla. He d. at L. 9 Jan. 
 1823 (g. s.) and was buried in the family lot of David Legro. 
 
 During the Revolution Legro was his waiter in the army and the 
 friendship there formed become so strong that "Squire" Legro fre- 
 quently invited his master to his own home. While on a visit Lieut. 
 Cowell was taken ill and died at Legro's. He was buried in the 
 Legro lot, at the foot of Gerrish's Hill. There the master and the 
 servant heroes of the Revolution lie side by side.

 DOOR (DORE, DORR). 
 
 18. BENIAII DOOR (Dore, Dorr,) of Lebanon, and of Milton, 
 N. H., was a son of John and Charity (Went worth) Door, early 
 settlers of Lebanon. He was born at Lebanon about 1765 ; enlisted 
 as a private 9 July, 1780, in Capt. Timothy Emerson's Co. of Col. 
 Thomas Bartlett's Reg't, raised in New Hampshire to join the Con-
 
 16 
 
 tinental Army for the defence of West Point. He was discharged 
 20 Oct. 1780. 
 
 He enlisted again, in 1781, from Lebanon for three years; 
 marched to Boston ; then to West Point where he joined the army ; 
 was in Capt. John Fuller's Co. of Col. Sheppard's Fourth Mass. 
 Reg't. ; the war closed and he was discharged before his term 
 expired. 
 
 He resided in Milton, N. H., many years and was living there in 
 1838, a Revolutionary pensioner under the law of 18 March, 1818. 
 He had a son Richard who lived in Acton, Me. He m. at Berwick, 
 1 Oct. 1786 Experience Andrews of Berwick. 
 
 19. JOHN DOOR of Lebanon, either the son of Philip and Sarah 
 Door of Rochester, N. H., or the son of John and Charity (Went- 
 worth) Door of Lebanon. He was either father, or brother, to 
 Beniah and Jonathan Door, as both were named John, and were 
 living in Lebanon in 1776. 
 
 John, the Revolutionary soldier, enlisted as a private 24 Sept., 
 1776, in Capt. Abraham Perkins's Co. of Col. Pierce Long's Reg't., 
 stationed at New Castle, N. H. He served until 7 Jan'y, 1777, and 
 received advanced pay from 7 Jan'y, to 7 Feb.. 1777; but refused 
 to marcd to Ticonderoga with his company, claiming that he be- 
 longed to Mass, and not to New Hampshire. 
 
 He was No. 41 on 24 Sept. ; later No. 39, then 42 ; and from 7 
 Jan'y, to 7 Feb., 1777, he was No. 30 of his company. John 
 Door Sr. lived at South Lebanon on the farm now (1896) owned by 
 the heirs of Moses E. Varney. 
 
 20. JONATHAN DOOR of Lebanon, and of Milton, N. H., was a 
 son of John and Charity (Wentworth) Door of Lebanon where he 
 was born about 1759. 
 
 He enlisted in Capt. Caleb Hodgdon's Co. 9 July, 1776. This 
 company was commanded by Capt. Abraham Perkins after 19 Sept., 
 and it belonged to Col. Pierce Long's Reg't, stationed at New Castle, 
 N. H. Mr. Door served until 7 Jan'y, 1777 when he received ad- 
 vanced pay for one month at Portsmouth, N. H. ; but refused to 
 march to Ticonderoga with his company, claiming that as he was a 
 citizen of Mass., he was not under the laws of New Hampshire. He 
 was discharged for refusing to march, and again enlisted in May 
 1777 as a private in Capt. Samuel Grant's Co. of Col. Titcomb's 
 Reg't. He served two months and 18 July, 1777 received pay for 
 services and travelling to and from Rhode Island. 
 
 When, on 9 Aug., 1777 the General Court issued a draft for able 
 bodied, effective men, the towns of Lebanon and Kittery (including 
 Eliot) furnished one company of 52 men with Elisha Shapleigh as 
 captain, and Jonathan Doore as lieutenant. Mr. Hasey wrote on 
 19 Aug., 1777, * * * "every Sixth Man Draughted to go to 
 war." 
 
 Again the Mass. Archives, vol. 37, p. 108, shows his name as 
 private, belonging to Lebanon, in Capt. John Goodwin's Co. "in a
 
 17 
 
 detachment of militia from the County of York under command of 
 Major Daniel Littlefield on an expedition to Penobscott, in compli- 
 ance with a resolve of the Council of Mass, passed June ye 29, 
 1779." On this expedition Mr. Door travelled 210 miles. 
 
 In the autumn of 1779 he enlisted on board the "Ranger;" 
 sailed from Portsmouth to Boston; from Boston the "Ranger" in 
 company with the "Warren" and the "Queen of France" put to sea ; 
 sometime later they took a British privateer ; and on the day fol- 
 lowing, came in contact with the "Georgia Fleet." It was under 
 convoy and they took nine or eleven sail of the "Fleet." They re- 
 turned to Boston and then to Portsmouth where Door was discharged 
 after a service of five months. He served as a marine on the 
 4 'Ranger," Thomas Simpson, commander. 
 
 His last enlistment was as a private 9 July, 1780, in Capt. 
 Timothy Emerson's Co. of Col. Thomas Bartlett's Reg't. raised in 
 New Hampshire to join the Continental Army for the defence of 
 West Point. He was discharged 26 Oct., 1780. 
 
 He returned to Lebanon where on 24 Aug., 1786 he was united 
 in marriage with Rebecca Garland by "Parson" Hasey. In 1786 or 
 1787 he removed to Milton, N. H., (then Rochester) where he was 
 residing in 1838 at the age of 79 years. 
 
 21. PHILIP DOOR, son of Philip and Lydia (Mason) Door of 
 Rochester, N. H., Lebanon and Shapleigh, Me., enlisted 22 July, 
 1776, as a private in Capt. Jedediah Goodwin's Co., of Col. Edward 
 Wigglesworth's Reg't. 
 
 On 22 July, 1776, he "set out for Canada," as Hasey says, and 
 was discharged at Albany, X. Y., 30 Nov., 1776. On 8 Sept., 1776, 
 "Parson" Hasey wrote in his diary : "Bill up by Molly Door for her 
 husband in ye army." 
 
 He was married at Lebanon 1 June, 1769, to Mary, daughter of 
 James and Mercy (Foss) Locke of Barustead, N. H. The First 
 Parish records contain the following baptisms of their children : 
 
 i. SIMON, bapt. 10 Oct., 1773. 
 
 ii. HANNAH, bapt. same time. 
 
 iii. JosKi-ii, bapt. 21 May, 1775.

 v. EDWAHD LOCKK, bapt. 22 Sept., 1782. 
 
 vi. JAMKS, bapt. same time. 
 
 22. RICHARD DOOR was either the sou of Philip and Lydia (Ma- 
 son) Door of Rochester, N. H., or the son of Richard and Patience 
 (Tebbetts) Door of Lebanon. From data at hand I cannot deter- 
 mine whether he was the father Richard, or the son Richard living in 
 Lebanon in 1776. 
 
 Richard, the soldier, enlisted as a private 3 Sept., 1776, in Capt. 
 John Brewster's Co. of Col. Pierce Long's Reg't, stationed at New 
 Castle, N. H. He was in the service 95 days.

 FALL. 
 
 23. GEORGE FALL of Lebanon, a son of Betsey Fall, who re- 
 moved to Lebanon in 1760, was born about 1755. He enlisted from 
 the towns of Wakefield and Somersworth, N. H. On 7 March, 
 1775, he went to Wakefield, where he was employed to work for 
 Samuel Hall until Nov. 
 
 He first enlisted as a private in Capt. David Copp's Co., Nov. 5, 
 1775, and was first stationed at Pierce's Island. His company of 
 "minutemen" was raised by order of the Committee of Safety, is- 
 sued 12 Oct., 1775; and a part went to Winter Hill, Charlestown 
 (now Somerville) in Dec. to take the place of the retiring Conn. 
 troops. His mother declared, 27 Sept., 1781, that he went from the 
 Island to Cambridge where he enlisted in Capt. [Jonathan?] Went- 
 woith's Co. for one year. 
 
 He enlisted at Somersworth, N. H., 12 March, 1777, in Capt, 
 James Carr's Co. of Col. Enoch Poor's Reg't. On another mus- 
 ter-roll he is described as of Wakefield, N. H., enlisting for 
 three years in Capt. Carr's Co. of the Tenth Reg't of New Hamp- 
 shire Militia, commanded by Col. Joseph Badger, in a return dated 
 19 June, 1777. 
 
 He was a Sergeant in Capt. Carr's Co., and at one time he was at- 
 tached to the Second Reg't of the New Hampshire line under Col. 
 Enoch Poor; later under Col. George Reid. In March, 1781, he 
 returned toL., having served more than three years. In his affidavit 
 he states that he served continually until 6 June, 1783, when he re- 
 ceived his discharge bearing the signature of General Washington, 
 He was a pensioner from 3 Aug., 1829, until his death. (Land Of- 
 fice Files No. 144, Augusta, Me.) 
 
 He resided in the northerly part of the town on the "Durrell place," 
 and was buried in the field now (1896) owned by Frank Lord. His

 JAMES. 
 
 45. ELISHA JAMES, son of John who was first of the name to settle 
 in Lebanon, was born about 1755. 
 
 He enlisted 5 May, 1775, in Capt. Philip Hubbard's Co. of Col. 
 James Scammon's Reg't. Capt. Hubbard was of Berwick and sub- 
 sequently of Shapleigh, Me. Col. Scammon was of Pepperell- 
 borough (now Saco), and his regiment was on Bunker Hill 17 June

 Lebanon on a lot known as the "James lot," situated about half 
 way between the "Camp Hill" Cemetery and the residence of Noah 
 B. Lord. In Shapleigh he resided near Hubbard's Corner, but 
 moved back to Lebanon about 1810. He purchased a lot some two 
 miles from any highway ; and in fourteen days after going on to it 
 with carpenters, he had a well constructed house which has served 
 the town in recent years in sheltering the poor. This place is now 
 (1896) known as the "Bog Town Farm." 
 
 He d. in L. in 1825, ae. 70; his widow Mercy d. in 1826, ae. 69.

 in Capt. Eben'r Sullivan's Co. of the Thirteenth Reg't of Foot, 
 commanded by Col. James Scammon, and belonging to the Army of 
 the United Colonies of North America. 
 
 Again he appears as a private from Lebanon in Capt. John Good- 
 win's Co. "in a detachment of Militia from the County of York, under 
 command of Major Daniel Littlefield on an expedition to Penobscott 
 in compliance with a resolve of the Honorable, the Council of this
 
 29 
 
 State [Mass.] passed June y* 29, 1779." He served two months, 
 from 10 July to 10 Sept., 1779, and travelled 210 miles. 
 
 He married at Lebanon 26 March, 1779, Lydia Door, and he, or 
 another of the same name, was receiving a pension in 1820, and re- 
 siding in Maine, when he was enumerated as a private of the Mass.

 1818 known as Gen. Ichabod Goodwin. He went to Boston 
 where he was ordered to join the army at West Point. He was at- 
 tached to Lieut. Seldin's Co. of the Fourth Mass. Reg't ; was waiter

 Point, 31 Dec., 1783, having served two years and eleven days. 
 
 He married at Lebanon 1 April, 1784, Betsey Fall, the Rev. Isaac 
 Hasey performing the marriage. She was born about 1757, and 
 was living in 1834 at the age of 87 years. 
 
 He moved from Lebanon to Denmark, Maine, about 1794, where 
 he died 29 Oct., 1833. He was a pensioner from 1818 until his 
 death. They had a son, David B., bora in 1785, and living in 
 Denmark, Me., in 1844. His widow, Betsey, received a bounty 
 from the State in 1844. The surname, in affidavit No. 834, Land 
 Office, Augusta, is spelled Kenerson, Kenison. Kinerson, Kennerson, 
 Keniston and Kennison. Widow Betsey states in her affidavit that 
 she never could read nor write a word, which may partially account 
 for the propagation of confusion in the nomenclature of this subject. 
 
 A John Keneson received in Aug. 1777, a bounty of Capt. Enoch 
 Page, in command of New Hampshire troops, to march to Rhode 
 Island and Conn. 
 
 48. JOSEPH KENNISON of Lebanon, born in 1745, enlisted from

 Bartlett's New Hampshire Reg't raised for the defence of West 
 Point. 
 
 He resided in Lebanon from 1773 to 1787 when he removed from 
 town. His farm was on the east side of the "Great Brook," so 
 called, near the P. & R. R. R. He set a fire 25 August, 1774, 
 which destroyed hay and fence belonging to the Rev. Isaac Hasey 
 whose lot joined his on the west. He married at Lebanon G Oct., 
 1773, Sarah Bean, the ceremony being performed by "Parson" 
 Hasey.

 50. DAVID 5 KNOX (Nock), (Zachariah 4 , Zachariah 8 , Sylvanus 2 ,

 Berwick, Me. His name occurs in a list of men raised for the six 
 months' service and returned by Brig. Gen. Paterson under date 
 at Camp Totoway 25 Oct., 1780. On a descriptive list in Mass. 
 Archives he appears as "17 years of age, five feet six inches in

 In 1820 he was a Revolutionary pensioner then living in Lebanon. 
 There is a tradition that he was a waiter on Major Andre", the 
 British spy, during Andrews confinement and execution in Sept., 
 1780. He was discharged 1 Feb., 1781, having served at West 
 Point. On 6 Sept, 1792, he married at L. Molly Hanson, probably

 LORD. 
 
 54. ELISIIA LORD, baptized at Berwick, Me., 28 April, 1765, 
 was son of Elisha and Sarah Lord of Berwick, where he was born, 
 about 1761. Elisha Lord, the father, was son of Capt. Abraham and 
 Margaret (Gowen) Lord. Capt. Abraham was son of Nathan Lord, 
 Jr., and grandson of Nathan Lord, Sr., the emigrant from Stackpole 
 Court. Pembrokeshire, Wales, to the ancient settlement at Kittery r 
 Maine. 
 
 Elisha Lord, the soldier, was twice in the Revolutionary army.

 Joseph Storer's Reg't ; served with the Northern army two months 
 and twenty-five days and was discharged at Quernan's Height, 23 
 Oct., 1777. 
 
 In Vol. 74, p. 171 of Mass. Archives, he is described as enlisting 
 24 Nov., 1781, for three years in Capt. Joseph Bates's Co. of Lt. 
 Col. J. Brooks's 7th Reg't. The roll dated at ''York Hutts" 6 Feb. r 
 1782, shows him to have been "20 years of age, 5 feet 6 in. in 
 stature, of light complexion, with brown hair." He was a laborer, 
 enlisted as a private and received a bounty fimn Berwick, 18 Dec. r 
 1781. He was a pensioner, under the Act of Congress of 18 March, 
 1818, and was living in Lebanon in 1820. 
 
 On 27 June, 1787 he married at Berwick, Dorcas Goodwin. He, 
 with other members of the family, removed to Lebanon where he is 
 supposed to have received a grant of land for his military services. 
 The lot upon which he first lived is now (1896) owned by Noah 
 B. Lord and is situated on the northwesterly side of his farm ; 
 later he removed to the farm of the late Thomas Millet Wentworth, 
 Esq., where on Sunday, 8 June, 1806, his wife and the wife of 
 Daniel Roberts were both killed by lightning in the Wentworth house

 55. NATHAN LORD, Sr., son of Ebenezer and Martha (Emery) 
 Lord of Berwick, Maine, was born 26 Jany., 1757 (g. B.) 
 
 He was a private 5 Nov., 1775, at Kittery Point under Capt. 
 Stephen Hodgdon ; enlisted as a private 16 Sept., 1776, in Capt. 
 William McDuffee's Co., mustered by Stephen Evans in the Second 
 New Hampshire Reg't "to join the Continental army in New York." 
 
 He, the Lebanon Nathan Lord, enlisted as a private for three 
 years 19 May, 1777, and served in Capt. Pillsbury's, Smith's, 
 and Capt. Samuel Derby's Co.'s, of Col. John Bailey's Battalion, 
 of Cols. Wiggleworth's, Sprout's and Smith's Reg'ts, Mass. line. 
 He served until 19 May, 1780, when he was discharged at West 
 Point. He was a pensioner from 16 March, 1819. (Land Office 
 Files, Augusta.) 
 
 There were living in Berwick about 1776, two Nathan Lords, and 
 while I know that the last paragraph relates to the Lebanon Nathan, 
 I am not positive that the paragraph preceding relates to him. 
 
 He married first 26 March, 1781, Mercy (Knox) Downs, a 
 widow, who was born 21 Jany, 1755 ; she died at Lebanon 22 Nov., 
 1810 (g. s.) 
 
 He married second 25 Nov., 1811, at Rochester, N. H., Sarah 
 Wingate, daughter of Benjamin ( ?) Wingate of Rochester; she was 
 living in 1835. He died at Lebanon, 26 Nov., 1833 ae. 76 years, 
 10 mtis., and is buried on the farm then owned by him; but now 
 (1896) owned and occupied by John R. Chamberlain at Lebanon 
 Center. 
 
 He was a politician of note, of the Jeffersonian party. He was 
 on the Committee appointed in 1800 to lay out the First Parish 
 Cemetery. 
 
 His children by wife Mercy were : 
 
 i. BENJAMIN, b. 28 April, 1788; d. fi Oct., 1803; he m. Mercy Fall, 
 born about 171*1 ; she d. (J Feb., 18(17. a>. 7t> years, 2 months; re- 
 sided in Lebanon. Mercy was sister to Nathan's wife.

 Somersworth, N. H. He m. Abra, daug. of Georjre and 
 
 (Kennerson) Fall of L. 
 
 56. SIMEON LORD, son of Ebenezer and Martha (Emery) Lord 
 of Berwick, Me., was born in Dec., 1750. 
 
 He enlisted from Berwick 8 May, 1775, in Capt. Philip Hubbard's 
 Co. of Col. James Scammon's Reg't, composed of men from the Dis- 
 trict of Maine. He was a sergeant in his company and in all prob- 
 ability was at Bunker Hill on 17 June following. 
 
 He occupied a farm in Lebanon about one and one-half miles south- 
 east of the Center, which farm is now (1896) owned and occupied 
 by James Lord. He married Mary Hersom, but died without 
 issue. Tradition relates that while in the Revolution, he was in a 
 scouting party which was surprised and surrounded by a large force 
 of British. Sergeant Lord immediately ordered his men to fire a
 
 34 
 
 volley. His brother Nathan, who was a private, dashed out in front 
 of the ranks and said, "A running fire or they will kill us all." The 
 command of the private, who took in the situation at a glance, was 
 obeyed. He m. at Berwick, Me., 15 Aug., 1774, Mary Hersom. 
 
 LEGRO. 
 
 57. DAVID LEGRO, son of John and Sarah Legro, who were set- 
 tlers in Lebanon as early as 1771, was born in 1759 ; and removed 
 with his parents to Lebanon. 
 
 He enlisted as a private in Capt. Jedediah Goodwin's Co. of Col. 
 
 Edward Wigglesworth's Reg't. Jedediah Goodwin, captain, was of 
 
 ,^ Berwick, and Ichabod Cowell, lieutenant, was of Lebanon. The 
 
 A. company set out for Canada, and Legro was discharged at Albany 
 
 l^\ 30 Nov., 1776. 
 
 He then re-enlisted as a private in Capt. Samuel Grant's Co. of 
 Col. Oliver Titcomb's Reg't, and received pay, 18 July, 1777, for 
 sen-ices for two months, and for travelling to and from Rhode 
 Island. Capt. Grant was of Berwick. 
 
 He returned to Lebanon, and 19 Jan., 1J85, was "joined in wed- 
 lock" to Betsey, daughter of Capt. John and Hannah (Waldron) 
 Hayes of Dover, N. H., and of Lebanon. 
 
 He engaged in the manufacture of potash, adding later a grocery 
 store and tavern at "Legro's Corner," as the hamlet was then called. 
 
 He was the fifth person to be chosen to represent Lebanon at the 
 General Court of Mass., and he continued a representative from 
 1805 to 1813 inclusive, also from 1815 to 1817 inclusive. In 1809 
 he was a selectman. When the Constitutional Convention was 
 called at Portland in 1819, he and Daniel Wood were chosen as the 
 delegates from Lebanon. Daniel Wood acted with the minority; 
 David Legro with the majority in that convention, hence David Le- 
 gro became one of the signers of the Constitution of Maine. Daniel 
 Wood being one of the thirty-one members who objected to that 
 Constitution, claimed as the chief objection that it provided for an 
 unjust apportionment of representatives. 
 
 Mr. Legro became the first representative from Lebanon to the 
 new State of Maine in 1820 and 1821. He was a justice of the 
 peace from 1M21 to 1H29, by which he acquired the title of "Squire." 
 He was a freemason and accumulated a good property. He died at 
 Lebanon 21 Aug., 1835, without children, a;. 76 years. His widow 
 died 27 Sept., 1839, se. 73 years, (g. s.) 
 
 His brother Thomas enlisted in the army in the Spring of 1780 
 for three years, but as he was needed at home a substitute was pro- 
 cured and he did not enter the service. (Land Office files, Augusta.) 
 
 58. JOHN LEGRO, son of John and Sarah Legro who settled in 
 Lebanon as early as 1771, was mustered 25 Nov., 1775, by Capt. 
 George Turner into Capt. David Copp's Co., which company of 
 "Minutemen" was raised pursuant to an order of the Committee of 
 Safety issued 12 Oct., 1775. A portion of this company went to
 
 35 
 
 Winter Hill, Charlestown (now Somerville) to take the place of the 
 retiring Conn, troops. He was No. 11 of his company. 
 
 On 22 March, 1779, he was married at Lebanon to Patience Blais- 
 dell. He resided for a time on the farm now (1896) owned and 
 occupied by Frank Lord ; but removed to Bangor, Maine, before 
 1812. 
 
 MARTIN. (MARDIN.) 
 
 59. THOMAS MARTIX (or Mardin) (colored) was a Revolutionary 
 pensioner who resided in Lebanon many years. It is certain that he 
 received a pension and it is claimed that he enlisted from New 
 Jersey. He left no descendants and is one of the few colored per- 
 sons that ever resided in town. He died in Leb. unmarried. 
 
 McCRILLIS. 
 
 60. ROBERT McCRiLLis was the son of Daniel and Elizabeth 
 (Thompson) McCrillis of Lebanon. His father, Daniel McCrillis, 
 the original McCrillis to settle in town, is said to have been a Scotch- 
 Irish emigrant who came to Leb. from the north of Ireland soon 
 after 1745. 
 
 This family was probably living in Lebanon before 1750, for on 
 30 July, 1749, the Rev. Amos Main entered upon the records of the 
 First Parish of Rochester, N. H., the following: "Also Baptized 
 Robert McCrelis." At that time the Rochester church was located 
 about four miles from where the McCrillises lived in L. 
 
 Robert McCrillis was a private in Capt. David Place's Co., sta- 
 tioned on Seavey's Island, being named on a return dated 5 Nov., 
 1775. 
 
 On 14 July, 1776, the Rev. Isaac Hasey of the First Parish of 
 Lebanon recorded in his diary as follows : 
 
 "Bill up by Rob't McCrellis for himself bound into ye Army." 
 His name occurs on a roll dated at Charlestown 27 July, 1776, in 
 Capt. John Drew's Co. raised for Canada out of Col. Evans's and 
 Col. Badger's Reg'ts. See Canney. (5) 
 
 MERRO W. 
 
 61. JOSHUA MERKOW, born in 1753, is described as of "Roches- 
 ter," N. H., "aged 22 years," "husbandman," in Capt. Jonathan 
 Wentworth's Co. enlisting 13 June, 1775. 
 
 He was an ensign commissioned 2 April, 1777, in the Second New 
 Hampshire Reg't. He was at White Plains 29 Aug., 1778. In a 
 petition addressed to the Legislature of N. H., in 1778, he states 
 that he lost his baggage and clothing at Ticonderoga, where he was 
 captured and carried a captive into Canada ; that after great suffer- 
 ing and hardships he was transported to New York ; and then re- 
 turned to his regiment in New Hampshire in 1778. 
 
 He was commissioned a lieutenant 12 July, 1780, and remained 
 in the army until 28 Feb., 1783, or later.
 
 36 
 
 He was probably a son of Samuel and Abigail Morrow of 
 Rochester, N. H., where he married Peggy Garland of Rochester, 28 
 Oct., 1788, the Rev. Joseph Haven performing the marriage. 
 
 A Joshua Merrow, supposed to be the same person, was living on 
 a lot that now (1896) is owned by the heirs of Charles B. Chamber- 
 lain. He sold this lot to Ralph Blaisdell in 1780, when he removed 
 from town. His name is perpetuated in "Merrow's Bridge," and 
 "Merrow's Corner," near where his house once stood. 
 
 MILLS. 
 
 62. JOHN MILLS, Sr. is described in the Mass. Archives, Vol. 
 19, p. 161, as "of Lebanon," "a private" in Capt. Jedediah Good- 
 win's Co. of Col. Edward Wigglesworth's Reg't. On 22 July, 1776, 
 the company set out for Canada, and Mills was discharged at Albany, 
 N. Y., 30 Nov. following. 
 
 He enlisted again in 1777 in Patterson's Co. of Baldwin's Reg't 
 of the Mass, line and served under Gen. Henry Knox. Several 
 years before his death which occurred 21 Dec., 1810, he removed 
 from L. to Belgrade, Me., where his widow Mary was living at the 
 age of 80 years and upwards in July, 1835. On 25 Aug., 1837, 
 she received a bounty from the State provided under the resolves of 
 1835-6. The Rev. Mr. Hasey entered in his diary, 6 Oct., 1776: 
 "Bill up by Molly Mills for her husband in ye army," etc. He had 
 a son, as I conjecture, of the same name, for Hasey wrote : 1 April, 
 1784, John Mills Juu r . and Peggy Keuison were married." 
 
 PERKINS. 
 
 63. EPHRAIM PERKINS of Lebanon was mustered between 10 
 March, and 17 March, 1777, by Joseph Bragdon of York. 
 
 He belonged to Capt. Samuel Derby's Co. of Col. John Bailey's 
 Batt. (Mass. Archives, Vol. 43, p. 139.) 
 
 An Ephraim Perkins died at Rochester, N. H., 31 Jany., 1823, 
 aged 80 years and his widow died 18 Oct., 1823, aged 90 years, but 
 I am not sure that both name the same person. 
 
 64. GILBERT PERKINS, one of the early settlers of Lebanon, first 
 enlisted 20 July, 1775, in Capt. Philip Htibbard's Co. of Col. James 
 Scammou's Reg't. 
 
 He re-enlisted from Lebanon, 3 Sept., 1776, as a private in Capt. 
 John Brewster's Co. of Col. Pierce Long's Reg't, stationed at New 
 Castle, N. H. ; and was mustered and paid by Otis Baker. He re- 
 mained in Long's Reg't until 7 Jan., 1777. 
 
 He was married at Rochester, N. H., 20 Aug., 1749, to Charity, 
 daug. of Stephen and Susannah (Wentworth) Hartford; and was the 
 first settler on the farm in the westerly part of Lebanon now ( 1896) 
 owned and occupied by the heirs of Lewis Ricker. He removed 
 from town eastward. He had a son Richard (65). 
 
 65. RICHARD PERKINS enlisted 5 May, 1775, in Capt. Philip 
 Hubbard's Co. of Col. James Scammon's Reg't. Scammon's regi-
 
 37 
 
 ment of Maine men was at Bunker Hill on 17 June following, but 
 on account of a misunderstanding of orders was not in the battle on 
 that day. 
 
 Perkins was a Revolutionary pensioner late in his life. He mar- 
 ried at Lebanon, 13, or 18 May, or June, 1779, Mrs. Abigail (Gar- 
 land) Cook, widow of David Cook (11) of Lebanon and daug. of 
 Dodivah Garland of Leb. He resided for a time on the farm now 
 (1896) owned and occupied by the heirs of Lewis Ricker, but re- 
 moved to Rochester, N. H., 11 March, 1783, and later to Jefferson, 
 N. H., where he died about 1832. He was the son of Gilbert and 
 Charity (Hartford) Perkins, early settlers of Leb. (64). 
 
 PIERCE. 
 
 66. JOSEPH PIERCE, born in 1754, is described in Mass. Archives, 
 Vol. 29, p. 57, as "of Lebanon, County of York; 25 years of age; 
 five feet, eight inches in stature : of light complexion ; delivered to 
 Lieut. Lilley, 1779." 
 
 PINNER. (PENNEY?) 
 
 67. JOHN PINNER, (Penney?) born in 1760, is described in 
 Mass. Archives, Vol. 45, p. 282, as "19 years of age; five feet, 
 three inches in stature ; light complexion ; engaged in the Fourth 
 Co. of the Second Reg't to reinforce the Continental Army for nine 
 months, agreeable to a resolve of the General Court of the State of 
 Mass. Bay, passed 9 June, 1779. 
 
 He is further described in Vol. 29, p. 116, as "belonging to Leb- 
 anon; enlisted Nov., 1779, in Capt. Allen's Co. in the First Mass. 
 Regiment. He enlisted for three years or during the war and served 
 until 1 Jan., 1781. 
 
 I have no evidence excepting the above, that anyone bearing the 
 surname Pinner ever resided in Lebanon ; and I conjecture that the 
 above named person either enlisted under an assumed name, or re- 
 sided in Lebanon for a short time only ; or that the name Pinner 
 should have been written Penney. I have found many errors in the 
 spelling of names on the war rolls. 
 
 PRICE. (PIE RCE'<) 
 
 68. STEPHEN PRICE, (Pierce?) described in Mass. Archives, 
 Vol. 45, p. 282, as "of Lebanon; 25 years of age; five feet, eight 
 inches in stature; light complexion;" engaged to reinforce the Thir- 
 teenth Co. of the Second Reg't of the Continental Army for nine 
 months agreeable to a resolve of the General Court of the State of 
 Mass. Bay, passed 9 June, 1779. I know nothing more relating to 
 this man. 
 
 Did the roll contain Price for Pierce? Stephen Pierce who mar- 
 ried Elly Ricker 7 Feb., 1781, was recorded among the marriages 
 performed by the Rev. Isaac Hasey.
 
 38 
 
 QUJMBT. 
 
 69. DANIEL CLARK QUIMBY, of Lebanon enlisted soon after 14 
 July, 1776, when "Parson" Hasey recorded : "Bill up by D. Quimby 
 for himself bound into ye army." He was in Capt. John Drew's Co. 
 raised for Canada out of Col. Evans's and Col. Badger's Regt's. 
 His name occurs on a roll dated Charlestown, 27 July, 1776. He 
 resided on Gerrish's Hill on the lot now (1896) owned by Richard 
 H. Goodwin and opposite Charles S. OrrelFs house. His wife's 
 name was Betsey, and the First Church records contain baptisms of 
 their children as follows :

 three years in the Fourth Reg't, Mass, line, Col. Sheppard com- 
 manding the Regiment and Gen. Henry Knox the Brigade ; he was

 years. 
 
 On 29 March, 1786, he married at Lebanon Sarah Champing 
 (Champen) a sister to his brother Jonathan's wife. He removed 
 from Lebanon to West Pond (now Rome), Maine, in 1792, where 
 he resided until his death 22 Nov., 1799. His widow Sarah was 
 living at Lebanon in 1844 at the age of 76 years when she received a 
 bounty for her husband's services from the State under the resolves 
 of 1835-6. She resided with her son Jonathan F. Rankins in Leba-

 1779." 
 
 He served two months from 10 July to 10 Sept., 1779; and 
 travelled 210 miles. 
 
 He was married at Lebanon 12 March, 1784, to Molly Champen by 
 the Rev. Isaac Hasey who spelled his name Rankens. She was a

 John, the father, was born in 1722 and removed early to Roches-

 Indians who carried him to Canada. He was in captivity one year 
 and a half, when he returned to Rochester. He resided near the 
 center of the town on the lot recently owned by the late Hon. Jacob 
 Hart Ela. He died in 1792 at the age of 70 years. Tradition has

 the first night of their capture. 
 
 John, the son, enlisted 2 June, 1775, in Capt. Winborn Adams's

 76. THOMAS SHERMAN, SR., son of Anthony and Silence (Ford) 
 Sherman of East Bridgewater, Mass., was born at Rochester, Mass., 
 18 April, 1754. He was a master mariner in early life. He en- 
 listed as a private 20 Sept., 1776, in Capt. Abram Washburn's Co. 
 of Col. John Cushing's Reg't, and served two months, being sta- 
 tioned at Newport, R. I. He married Betsey Keith, daug. of Dan- 
 iel and Lydia (Keyzer) Keith, grand daughter of John and Hannah 
 (Washburu) Keith, and great grand daughter of Rev. James and 
 Susanna (Edson) Keith, all of Bridgewater, Mass. (Rev. James 
 Keith was a native of Scotland, educated at Aberdeen, and became 
 the first minister at Bridgewater in 1644, having come to New Eng- 
 land two years earlier.) She was born 1 Jan., 1763. He resided 
 in Brookfield, Mass., in 1782 ; removed to East Bridgewater where 
 he resided from about 17H5 to about 1794. He then removed to 
 Tamworth, N. H., where he remained until about 1811. He then 
 removed to Shapleigh, (now Acton) Maine, and about 1814 re- 
 moved to a border farm between Lebanon and Acton. Here lie 
 died 2 Feb., 1846, iv. 92 years (g. s.) ; his wife Betsey died 4 Dec., 
 1841, te. 79 years (g. s.) He and his wife became members of 
 the First Orthodox church at Lebanon in March, 1824. Enoch P. 
 Sherman now (1896) owns and occupies their farm. 
 
 Mr. Sherman was a direct descendant of William Sherman, the 
 Pilgrim of Plymouth, through Anthony 4 . William 3 , William 3 , Wil- 
 liam 1 . William Sherman, the Pilgrim, was in Plymouth as early as 
 1632, but finally settled in Marshtield, Mass. He married in 1639,
 
 42 
 
 Prudence Hill and had a son William, Jr., who married in 1667, De- 
 sire, daughter of Edward and Faith (Clark) Doty, or Doten. This 
 Edward Doty was a "Mayflower" Pilgrim. 
 
 William, Jr., and Desire (Doty) Sherman had a son William, 
 born in 1671, who married in 1697, Mercy, daughter of Peregrine 
 and Sarah (Bassett) White. This Peregrine, born in Provincetown 
 Harbor in 1620, was the son of William and Anna, called Susanna, 
 (Fuller) White. This Anna (Fuller) White after the death of her 
 husband William, in 1621, married, second, Edward Winslow, Gov- 
 ernor of the Plymouth Colony, and died in Marshfield, Mass., in 
 1680. It appears, by an examination of Davis's "Ancient Land- 
 Marks of Plymouth," that Thomas Sherman, Sr., was a descendant 
 of Edward Doty, William White and Susanna (Fuller) White of the 
 "Mayflower," and of William Bassett, whose daughter Sarah mar- 
 ried Peregrine White, and who came in the "Fortune" in 1621. 
 t . Thomas and Betsey (Keith ) Sherman had the following children:

 80. WILLIAM STEVENS, born at Lebanon in 1753, or 1755, was 
 probably the son of Abijah Stevens, one of the early settlers of Leb- 
 anon. He is described on the war rolls as "of Lebanon, husband- 
 man, 20 years of age, in Capt. Jonathan Wentworth's Co.," roll 
 dated 13 June, 1775. He was No. 39 of his Co., and enlisted 30 
 May, 1775. 
 
 I conjecture that he enlisted a second time, for I find on the rolls 
 the name "William Stepheuson of Lebanon, a private in a Co. com- 
 manded by Capt. Jedediah Goodwin (of Berwick) of Col. Edwaid 
 Wigglesworth's Reg't; discharged 30 Nov., 177*5." This is consis- 
 tent with the Rev. Isaac Hasey's diary, for 20 Oct., 1776, viz.: 
 "Bill up by Abijah Stevens for a son in ye Army." I know that 
 the war rolls contain many mis-spelled names, and after diligent 
 search I can find no family named Stephenson living in Lebanon be- 
 fore 1800. 
 
 William Stevens, however, lived here ; in. Molly Ricker of Lebanon, 
 and removed to Belgrade, Me., about 17 ( .'6, where he died in 1836, 
 a.'. 83 years. His wife Molly died in 182"), ;i>. 7~> years. Their son 
 Daniel was born at Lebanon 30 April. 1784, and died at Belgrade, 
 Me., 18 Aug., 1867. lie was the grandfather of Hon. ClivenU-af T. 
 Stevens of Augusta, Me. 
 
 TEBBETTS. 
 
 81 PHILIP TEBBETTS, of Lebanon, enlisted 3 Sept., 177^, as a 
 private in Capt. John Brewster's Co. of Col. Pierce Long's Reg't, sta-
 
 44 
 
 tioned at New Castle, N. H. He was No. 53 and served 95 days 
 with extra time to 7 Jan., 1777. 
 
 He re-enlisted from Lebanon as a private in Capt. Samuel Grant's 
 Co. of Col. Titcomb's Reg't, and received pay 18 July, 1777, for 
 services for two months and for travelling to and from Rhode Island. 
 
 He was of Hubbardstown Plantation, Shapleigh, when he m. at 
 Berwick, Me., 9 May, 1780, Sarah Grant.

 White, of Lebanon, settlers on a lot now (1896) owned by James 
 Matthews in the westerly part of the town, and known as the "White

 Lebanon between 20 Feb. and 10 March, 1777, iii Capt. Samuel 
 Derby's Co. of Col. John Bailey's Battalion. He was mustered by 
 Joseph Bragdon of York. He is named as a private of the Mass, 
 line, Revolutionary War, and receiving a pension in 1820. He is 
 said to have removed to Ossipee, N. H. 
 
 87. JOSEPH WHITE was a son of John and Elizabeth (Cole) 
 White of Lebanon. He was No. 45 of Capt. Stephen Clark's Co. 
 mustered at Portsmouth, N. H., 21 Nov., 1775. A portion of these 
 troops went to Winter Hill, Charlestown (now Somerville) to take

 in the Fourth Reg't of Patterson's Brigade during the war, as he 
 states in his affidavit. 
 
 He married at Lebanon 5 Jan. 1786, Jane, daughter of Lieut.

 WHJTEHOUSE. 
 
 89. JAMES WHITEHOCSE is named in Mass. Archives. Vol. 56, p. 
 201, as "of Lebanon; enlisted 5 May, 1775, in Capt. Eben'r Sulli- 
 van's Co. of the Thirteenth Reg't of Foot, commanded by Col. 
 James Scammon and belonging to the Army of the United Colonies 
 of North America. 
 
 He was married at Lebanon 19 Dec., 1776, to Mary Door by "Par- 
 son" Hasey. A family of this surname lived in Lebanon on the 
 "Plains," near Berwick line in early times. 
 
 WING ATE. 
 
 90. ENOCH WINGATE, a native of Rochester, N. H., and son of 
 Benjamin or Samuel Wingateof Rochester, was in the army in 1778. 
 The Rev. Isaac Hasey wrote in his diary 29 Nov., 1778: "Bill of 
 thanks by Wingate for his sons returned from ye Army." I have 
 no proof that he overlived in Lebanon, but he and the Wingate fam- 
 ily were attendants at Mr. Hasey's church. He probably lived near 
 "Adams's Corner" in Rochester, N. H. 
 
 WITHERELL. 
 
 91. JAMES WITHERELL, born 24 Nov., 1755, was a brother to 
 Thomas Witherell, Jr., one of the early settlers of Lebanon; also 
 brother to John (92). He came to this town as early as 1775. 
 
 He enlisted as a private 22 July, 1776, in a company commanded 
 by Capt. Jedediah Goodwin of Berwick, of Col. Edward Wiggles- 
 worth's Reg't; and was discharged at Albany, N. Y., 30 Nov., 
 1776. His company set out for Canada, according to "Parson" 
 Hasey. 
 
 On 1 Aug., 1776, Mr. Hasey wrote in his diary : "Bill up by Tom 
 Witherell for a son in ye army." This seems to show that his father 
 was Thomas, unless his brother Thomas had a son then in the army. 
 
 James, the soldier, was a tavern-keeper in the westerly part of the 
 town on the farm now (1896) owned and occupied by Daniel Grant. 
 He sold his property to Jonathan Y. Wentworth and removed to 
 Monmouth, Me. He married at Lebanon 17 April, 1781, Martha, 
 daughter of ftrtm Gerrish of Berwick Me.; she was born 9 Sept,, 
 1760. 
 
 Mr. Witherell was town clerk in 17s" and 1788, and the third 
 representative to the General Court in 17110. 
 
 His children by wife Martha were : 
 
 i. ISAAC, b. 1(1 Sept., 17*2: bapt. '2'2 Aur.. 17i'<>. 
 ii. ADAH, b. 21 Jany.. 17St; ; bapt. 22 Aui:., 17HO. 
 iii. SoriUA. bapt. 22 An-.'.. 17!'<i. 
 iv. JOHN KKNNKV, bapt. <! March, 17'.'!. 
 
 91." JOHN WITHERELL, a brother of James (91) and of Thomas 
 Witherell, Jr., an early settler of Lebanon, was a sergeant in Capt. 
 John Goodwin's Co. "in a detachment of militia from the County of 
 York, under command of Major Daniel Littletield, on un expedition
 
 48 
 
 to Penobscot, in compliance with a resolve of the Honorable, the 
 Council of this State [Mass.] passed June y e 29, 1779." 
 
 His wife was Mary Morrill, daughter of Joka- Gerrish of Berwick, 
 and the following children I find named on the First Church records : 
 
 i. NKLLY, bapt. 17 Sept., 1780. 
 
 ii. ELIZABKTH. bapt. 10 Jany., 1781. 
 
 ill. MARY MURRILL, bapt. 2fi Aug., 1782. 
 
 iv. MARTHA, bapt. 6 June, 1790. 
 
 He had a son William who resided in Monmouth, Me., where I 
 conjecture the whole family resided after living in Lebanon for sev- 
 eral years. 
 
 He married at Berwick, Me., 28 March, 1778, Mary Morrill 
 Gerrish. 
 
 YOUNG. 
 
 93. ABNER YOUNG enlisted from Lebanon as a private, 3 Sept., 
 1776, in Capt. John Brewster's Co. of Col. Pierce Long's Reg't, sta- 
 tioned at New Castle, N. H. He was No. 55 and served until 7 
 Jan., 1777. 
 
 94. JOHN YOUNG enlisted from Lebanon as a private 24 Sept., 
 1776, in Capt. Abraham Perkins's Co. of Col. Pierce Long's Reg't, 
 stationed at New Castle, N. H. He received one month's advanced 
 pay from 7 Jan., 1777, but when ordered to march to Ticonderoga 
 on 13 Jan., 1777, he refused, claiming that as he was a citizen of 
 Mass., he was not bound by the military orders of New Hampshire. 
 He resided in the southern part of the town. A Jno. Young died of 
 nervous fever 3 Sept., 1785, according to Mr. Hasey's diary for 
 1785. 
 
 95. JONATHAN YOUNG is named on War Rolls, Mass. Archives, 
 Vol. 43, p. 94, as of Lebanon; mustered between 30 May and 13 
 June, 1777, in Capt. Samuel Derby's Co. of Col. John Bailey's Bat- 
 talion. He was mustered by Joseph Bragdon of York.
