Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Record of the Services of the Commissioned Officers and Enlisted Men of Kittery and Eliot, Maine: Who Served Their Country on Land and Sea in the American Revolution, From 1775 to 1783 Kittery, at the commencement of the war for Independence, was composed of the present towns of Kittery and Eliot, and this record takes in the soldiers and sailors of both towns; but Eliot´s soldiers are not mentioned as such in their individual records, but one can tell by the parish or militia company residence of the man, in which town as now constituted he lived; whenever the word "town" occurs in the following pages, it refers to and means the old town of Kittery as it was in 1775. The town at that time was divided into three parishes, viz., first, or lower; second, or upper; and third, or middle. The first parish was that part of the town south of a line, commencing at Portsmouth Ferry, near the old Rice House, and running north fifty-four degrees east, to the town of York. The second parish was the present town of Eliot, and the third parish comprised that part of the town between the other two parishes. In 1775, the town had four companies of militia, all belonging to the First Regiment of Infantry of York County, commanded by Col. Edward Cutts, a resident of the town, but in 1776, the militia was reorganized, and the four companies increased to six, all belonging to the Second Regiment of York County, and commanded by Col. John Frost, a resident of the town, also an officer in the last French war. The second major was John Shapleigh of the town, and the adjutant was Lieut. Andrew P. Fernald, also a resident. The above officers all served with the Continental Army at various times during the war, as did nearly all the company officers. The officers and location of the six town companies were as follows: the First Company´s were Capt. Elisha Shapleigh, First Lieut. James Shapleigh, Second Lieut. Thomas Hammond, and comprised that part of the second parish between Sturgeon Creek, the residence of Miss Farmer, the river, and the town of York. The Second Company´s were Capt. William Holbrook, First Lieut. William Deering, Jr., and Second Lieut. Daniel Billings, and the bounds were that part of the first parish east of Spruce Creek.
