Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sprague´s Journal of Maine History, Vol. 6 Numbered among those men, who in the first half of the last century, helped to place our state on a firm basis, and a pedestal of prominence with the others which compose our union, and who to our shame and regret we are relegating to a nameless oblivion, is one whose name in his day and generation was known and honored throughout our borders. Born in our mother state, of genuine old Bay State stock, John Gilmore Deane first saw the light of day March 27, 1785, in the old town of Raynham. His parents, Joseph Deane and Mary Gilmore, both were born in that town, and lived all their days there. Mr. Joseph Deane was a prosperous farmer and a highly respected inhabitant of his native town, of high repute for his honesty and integrity, and held in great esteem by his neighbors and townspeople. He served in the War of the Revolution, entering the service immediately after the Concord and Lexington fight, and remained in the regular service for several years. John G. Deane had the benefit of a college education, graduating from Brown university in 1806. He read law in Taunton, Mass. with Hon. Seth Padelford, judge of probate, and came to Ellsworth, Maine, Sept. 23, 1809. The following September (the 13th) he married Rebecca, the youngest daughter of Judge Padelford, his former law tutor. Mr. Deane sailed from Boston for Ellsworth, Thursday, September 21, and arrived at the head of Union bay the following Saturday. As the tide was too low when the vessel arrived to permit the passing of the bar, he prevailed upon the captain to set him ashore at Surry, and from there he walked the remaining two miles to Ellsworth.
