  • Notes 
    • He was one of those who, during the Revolutionary War, was compelled by the British to do work upon the fortifications at Castine. He used to relate that the British got but very little benefit from his labors, as he would pound his axe on a rock at every opportunity, so that it took him about all the time to grind it.
