SIXTH GENERATION [page 99]

73. WILLIAM 6 CHADBOURNE (62. William 5-4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), baptized Berwick ME 6 Sep 1744 (NEHGR 82:216); died Frelighsburg Quebec 23 Apr 1816; married Berwick (int) 12 Sep 1767 (BVR, 5) SARAH WEYMOUTH, born Berwick circa 1748, died 13 Apr 1828 (Frelighsburg Quebec Church and Burial Records) or 25 Apr 1828 (gs), probably daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Rollins) Weymouth.

            According to a petition of his mother Phebe and uncle Benjamin, William had enlisted in the Army in 1762 for the Canadian Expedition, remained with the Army until it broke up, and was taken ill at Westmoreland NH. His mother petitioned for repayment of sums used to send a man and a horse to bring him home (MA State Archives, 80:394, 537). William was a farmer and laborer. He lived on what is known as Moultonborough Neck, near the old Brawn Cemetery in Moultonborough NH, from the late 1770s until about 1802. He was there in the 1790 and 1800 censuses and in the 1800 and 1801 Moultonborough tax books. Some time after 1801 he removed with his family to St Armand, Canada East, and settled in Slab City, the present village of Frelighsburg. We are indebted to George F Sanborn Jr for information on William and his descendants.

74. FRANCIS 6 CHADBOURNE (62. William 5-4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), baptized Berwick ME 5 or 6 June 1755 (NEHGR 40:126); died N Berwick 22 Oct 1831, age 76 (BVR, 649; 2nd Church of Berwick, NEHGR 74:252); married first Berwick 14 Aug 1777 (BVR, 198) OLIVE NEAL, born 10 June 1761, died N Berwick 3 (GS) or 23 Sep 1822 (BVR, 296), believed to be daughter of Johnson and Sarah (Furbish) Neal of Kittery (YP, 17 Mar 1817, #14041, will of Johnson Neal); married second 30 Nov 1823 ELIZABETH STAPLES (BVR, 157), a widow, perhaps the Elizabeth Chadbourn, age 84, in the household of Samuel Groven in N Berwick (1850 US Census, 347). Emery stated in error that the first wife was Olive Morrell; research by John Carleton Chadbourne has given us the proper information on this marriage as well as much of the information about the descendants.

            Francis' family home was on Maple St, N Berwick, west of Rte 4 and across from Goodwin's Greenhouses. In 1816 he was taxed for 200 acres, 1 dwelling and 3 and 1/22 outbuildings (1816 YCPO). Francis and Olive are buried in the family graveyard behind the homestead amid pine trees about 100 yards from the road. Francis' estate carries a long inventory of goods, a substantial amount of furnishings, kitchenware, looms, edibles, and a good supply of livestock and feed and gear for their use. In addition, he had about 140 acres of land in N Berwick and a part interest in Hobbs' Mill (YP #2615, 14 Dec 1831, Elizabeth made her mark).

75. HUMPHREY 6 CHADBOURN (62. William 5-4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born probably circa 1756-60; died before July 1793 (his heirs' settlement of his portion of his uncle's 1792 estate); married, probably in Nova Scotia, wife's name unknown.

            Very little is known about this man, as he moved to Annapolis County, Nova Scotia (perhaps Halifax). He was under 14 when his father died circa 1761 (Francis Chadbourne letter), and at about that age he was apprenticed to an Edward Foster of Boston. In 1776, his master moved to Nova Scotia, taking Humphrey with him (possibly part of the Loyalist evacuation). The heirs wrote a letter concerning the estate in Maine in 1789, requesting postponement of settlement for lack of proof of his death (YP #2634, letter written by his brother Francis and uncle Humphrey).

            Berwick, Sept. 19, 1789

                                    Honored Sir:

                                    "This is to inform you that there was lad by the name of Humphrey Chadbourn son to one William Chadbourn of this town; his father died while this Humphrey was but a child. He was when about fourteen years old put apprentice to Mr. Edward Foster of Boston. In the year 1776 his master moved to Halifax and carried Humphrey with him and served out his time with him and we have heard from him since the peace took place, but for several years past have not heard from him. He (has) a small estate in lands left him by uncle Humphrey Chadbourn-perhaps it may be worth $100.00. He left two brothers and five sisters, since which two of his sisters have died. We hear that his brother William and one of his brothers-in-law whose wife is dead is about administering upon the Estate which we think is premature as there never has been any account of Humphrey's death and we doubt wither even he has [page 103] heard that was left him upon his uncle's will. Therefore we desire that no administration may be granted till we can hear wither he is dead or alive which will be in perhaps in a few months time.

Francis Chadbourn

Humphry Chadbourn

            P.S. I dont know but that I may come under damage as I was executor to my uncle's will and never had a receipt that he received his part of said estate. I expect the young man home soon.

Joseph Simpson, Superior Judge at York"

(See Nova Scotia Immigrants to 1867, 347. "Edward Foster, Loyalist; plus 7; Boston to Halifax 1776," citing 434:90 "The Sandomanian Loyalists," Coll of the Nova Scotia Hist Soc 29:62-123).

 On 2 July 1793, the younger brother Francis, was appointed administrator. At this time Humphrey was called "the 4th" (MPA #2636).

            In Apr 1985, a Mr Noble wrote to George Sanborn concerning the identity of a Mary Chadbourn who married Donald Logan and died along with her first child in Feb 1808. He quoted two mentions of a Humphrey Chadbourne in Annapolis County:

                        Supplement to the History of Annapolis County, Briggs [Toronto, 1913]. Appendix G, "Muster Rolls of Discharged Officers and Disbanded Soldiers and Loyalists taken in the County of Annapolis between 18-24 Jun, 1784," p. 108: "Chadbourne, Hum,, 1 male, 1 woman, total 2, D.S. 84th Regt. Settled at Annapolis"

            Loyalists and Land Settlement in Nova Scotia, [Halifax, 1937] Annapolis County (c) Escheats- P. 31, "Chadburn, Humphrey; date: 1786, Halifax-Annapolis R. 200 acres, escheated 1819"

Child, surname Logan: 1. Mary Chadbourn, b 17 Feb 1808, bpt Wilmot, Annapolis Co, NS 1 Mar 1808 (Public Archives of Nova Scotia (PANS) Bulletin #12).

76. HUMPHREY 6 CHADBOURNE (63. Humphrey 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick ME 24 May 1744; died 21 Mar 1792 (gs, Oakwoods Rd, Berwick); married Berwick 1 Dec 1768 (BVR, 115 where he is called Humphrey "3rd") ELIZABETH (BETSEY) LIBBY, born 8 Dec 1749, died 17 Apr 1792, age 44 (BVR, 234), daughter of Daniel and Abigail Libby (Libby Gen, 61). Humphrey and Elizabeth are buried in a private cemetery on Oakwoods Rd, Berwick (Cemetery records of Richard and Barbara Day, privately held).

 Humphrey served in the Revolution in Capt Pray's Company, 1780. He and his family lived in N Berwick or at Oak Woods, Berwick. The census of 1790 lists 3 males over 16, 3 males under 16, and 6 females in the household. The late Richard Day and his wife Barbara of N Berwick were an invaluable source of help with this branch of the family. Humphrey's will, written 20 Feb 1792 and proved 30 Mar 1792 (YP #2635) [page 104] lists all of his children, with the bulk of his real and personal estate going to his son Daniel, and 5 shillings to all other children. (The Oxford Democrat, March 19, 1872, erroneously says Capt Simeon, below, was son of Humphry and Mary Libby Chadbourne.)

Simeon often attended both stores when Mr Pike was away. He was a captain in the militia. He died at the residence of Capt A R Bucknell, where he had lived for 8 yrs.

77. PAUL 6 CHADBOURNE (63. Humphrey 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick ME 20 Mar 1747/8; died N Waterborough ME 31 Dec 1825; married 2nd Church of Berwick 26 Apr 1770 (NEHGR 74:250) JOANNA 4 YEATON, born 17 May 1753, died Limerick ME 4 Mar 1826 while visiting friends "Widow of the late Paul, Esq., aged 73" (Dover Gazette and Strafford Advertiser, 29 Mar 1826, 3), daughter of Philip 3 (Philip 2, Richard 1) and Dorcas (Smith) Yeaton of Berwick. Both are buried on Paul's old homestead at N Waterborough on property now owned by descendant Earle Ahlquist. We are grateful to Earle for completing the genealogy of Paul's descendants beyond Emery's account, and to Nancy Maze for her work assisting Earle.

            Many of the Chadbournes were of enormous size, and Paul was no exception. Three hundred pounds was the norm rather than an exception with his children, including some of his daughters. An article in a Portland paper talks of the two tons of Chadbournes and includes some of Paul's family as well as three from Lake Sebago. The 1790 Census for Coxhall lists 3 males over 16, 4 males under 16, and 4 females in this household. His will, proved 1826, named Joanna and children Nathan, Paul, John, James, Philip, Jeremiah, Humphrey, Elijah, Susanna, Phebe, Joanna, Sarah, Dorcas and grandchild Belinda (YP #2682, 36:275).

Here lie the ashes of the just,

Who sought no honor, nor betrayed no trust.

This truth he proved in every path he trod,

That an honest man is the noblest work of God."

79. SILAS 6 CHADBOURNE (63. Humphrey 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick ME 8 Aug 1752; died Gorham ME 15 June 1823, age 71 (Gorham VR, 174); married first 23 Apr 1775 (Austin Alden's Journal) [page 109] ABIGAIL CROCKETT, born 10 Apr 1758 (Gorham VR, 176), died 15 Aug 1813 (gs), age 55, daughter of Samuel and Priscilla (Swett) Crockett; married second Gorham 24 June 1819 (DAR Patriots Index) LUCY (ROBERTS) (SEVIER) CROCKETT, daughter of J Roberts, widow of Peter Sevier and Peletiah Crockett, born circa 1767. Lucy may have married fourth Richard Edwards.

            Silas was a tailor of Gorham when he enlisted May 1775 in Capt Hart Williams' Co, Col Phinney's Regt. Promoted to lieutenant, he was quartermaster of Col B Tupper's Regt in 1780 and adjutant of Col Prime's Regt. He was in the battles of Hubbardston, Saratoga, Stillwater, Monmouth, Valley Forge, and at surrender was an exchanged prisoner of war. He kept a diary while in the army, which was extant in 1903 (H-Gorham, 426). The US census for Gorham in 1790 lists in his family 1 male over 16, 3 males under 16, and 6 females.

            In 1818 he was a Revolutionary pensioner and appeared with the following estate in the Revolutionary War pension schedule for the District of Maine:

            Silas Chadbourn, 68, Gorham, lieutenant, Maberry's Co., Francis's and Tupper's Regts., Mass. Real estate, one half of an acre of land in Gorham, with a small unfinished house on it. Personal estate, a few chairs and other necessary articles in the house. I have no income and owe one hundred and fifty dollars. Tailor, not able [due to] old age and bodily infirmity. Lucy, wife, 53, able to do housework; Caroline Crockett, my wife's daughter, 14, able to work. $107.35, stricken. 9 June 1820 (NEHGR 142[1988]:204)

 He was stricken from the pension rolls because he owned real estate. In the next year, he lost this property and was returned to the pension list, as follows:

            Silas Chadbourne, 69, Gorham, Lieutenant, Mayberry's Co., Tupper's Regt., Mass. Real estate -- I have none nor any personal estate. The property mentioned in a former schedule before the Hon. Judge Parris in June last, has been taken from me by executions for debt, and I am now destitute of the means of living except as far as I am assisted by the charity of friends. Tailor, unable [due to] age and infirmity. Lucy, wife, 55, in comfortable health. Continued, $3. 6 December 1820. (NEHGR 145[1991]:53)

 Papers concerning his estate were filed 1824/5 (YP #2696). He and his wife are buried at Old Village Cemetery, Gorham (Cemetery Inscriptions of Gorham, Dole).

81. Reverend WILLIAM 6 CHADBOURNE (63. Humphrey 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born on the "old Chick Farm" Berwick 17 Jan 1763; died Berwick 12 Dec 1817 (VR, 294); married Berwick 2 Feb 1786 (BVR, 128) MARGERY HODSDON, born 4 Aug 1766, baptized 6 Aug 1768, died 17 Jan (Thompson ms) or 17 Jan 1824 (BVR, 297; gs; Burial Inscriptions of Berwick Maine, 18), daughter of Israel and Mary (Lord) Hodgdon (Hodsdon-Hodgdon Gen).

            From 1808 to 1817 William was pastor of the Third Baptist Church of Berwick, located in S Berwick (Emery). He was exempted from taxation in 1816 for 80 acres, 1 dwelling, 1 outbuilding (1816 YCPO). His widow Margery administered his estate in 1818, when Isaac Chadbourne was appointed guardian for the minor children (YP #2709). William and Margery are buried with their sons William and Isaac in the cemetery at Berwick, "south side of Salmon Falls Rd, in a thicket" (Spencer, op cit, 18).

82. JAMES HOBBS 6 CHADBOURNE (63. Humphrey 5 William 5-4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick ME 15 Feb 1766; died Harrison ME 12 Sep 1841, age 75 yrs 7 mos (gs); married Gorham ME 4 Jan 1789 (Gorham VR, 76) DORCAS WHITMORE, born Gorham 7 Mar 1770, died Harrison 8 or 18 Nov 1846, age 75 yrs 8 mos (gs, Centennial H-Harrison, 417), daughter of Capt Samuel 5 and Mary (Whitney) Whitmore (Gorham VR, 169). When the Whitmores moved to Gorham, it was known as Narragansett #7. They lived on Main St in a house later owned by Edwin Gamman (McLellan, H-Gorham, 427). James and Dorcas lived in Falmouth and Gorham, with her parents at least part of the time before her father died in 1808.

            On 25 Jan 1810 James, of Gorham, purchased in Harrison for $800 the 100 acre Lot 4 in Range 4 including buildings built between 1806-9 by Moses Whitney Jr. That small dwelling was moved down hill and became the ell (not visible in the photo, including the present kitchen) of a larger house shown below. It is on the north side of the Haskell Hill Rd in Harrison, across the street from the New England Horse Supply building, which was given recently to the Harrison Historical Society for its museum. Carved into the mantel are the initials of James' son Humphrey. [page 114]

As his father had been before him, James was a tailor. He was also the first deacon in the Congregational Church of Harrison when it was organized in 1826, in spite of his family's being Baptist. For several years James was town clerk as well as justice of the peace, earning him the title of "Squire Chadbourne." About thirty years after his death, James was described as "a man of candor, practical sense, executive ability, and firmness; a real gentleman of the old school, and was highly esteemed by his towns-people." He is buried at Maple Ridge Cemetery in Harrison. The 1790 U S Census for Gorham lists 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, and 1 female. Ted and Dori Chadbourne have expanded the records of Fred Babson Chadbourne to give us the account of this family.

Children (Gorham VR, 111; H-Harrison, 417-22), surname CHADBOURNE:

            i.            SAMUEL WHITMORE 7, b Falmouth 28 June 1789; d when cast away at Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada, 14 Feb 1817; m St John NB 14 Sep 1816 (desc rec, CFAA) SARAH LAIDLEY, b St John NB 28 Aug 1792, d Prince Edward Island 4 Mar 1882, dau of Robert and Lydia (Harris) Laidley (CFAA). Sarah m2 1822 James Holman of NB (The Holmans in America). Sarah administered Samuel's estate in New [page 115] Brunswick 21 Mar 1817 along with Jonah Dyer, saddler, and Henry Blakslee, merchant (R Wallace Hale, Early New Brunswick Probate Records 1785-1835). Samuel was a saddler. A memorial stone in the Free Will Baptist Cemetery bears the following inscription:

"Samuel W. Chadbourne, who was cast away on Campobello Island, and perished on the night of Feb. 14, 1817, aged 27 years. He was an amiable man, esteemed and lamented by all who knew him; he had been happily united in marriage five months when it pleased God to separate them, but not forever, having given them a lively hope that thru the sufferings and righteousness of Christ, they should meet to part no more."

                                    The curious free stone monument that had been erected at his grave on Campobello was brought into Harrison and re-erected in Maple Ridge Cemetery where it now stands.

            ii.            PHEBE, b 12 or 14 June 1791; d 20 Mar 1882, age 91 yrs, 10 mos (Oxford County Democrat, 14 Apr 1882); m AARON KIMBALL of Bridgton, b 1787, d 13 Feb 1830 (H-Kimball Family, 480), son of Benjamin and 2nd wife Hulda (Foster) Gould Kimball.

83. JONATHAN CHESLEY 6 CHADBOURNE (64. Benjamin 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick ME 9 Aug 1752; died there 18 Jan 1799, age 46 (Notices From the New Hampshire Gazette, 1765-1800, 157; YP #2658, will admin 15 Apr 1799); married first 10 Nov 1779 (BVR, 222) ELIZABETH 5 ROLLINS, born 1752, died 29 Aug 1789, daughter of Judge Ichabod 4 (Jeremiah 3 Ichabod 2 James 1) and Abigail (Wentworth) Rollins of Somersworth (BVR, 222); married second 15 Feb 1790 ANN or NANCY (MA Centinal Marr 1784-1840) HALE, born 6 Oct 1753, died 3 Nov 1806, age 53 (gs), daughter of Major Samuel and Mary (Wright) Hale of Portsmouth NH (BVR, 222). Ann is buried at the North Cemetery, Portsmouth (Portsmouth & Newcastle NH Cemetery Inscriptions).

            Jonathon's service in the Revolution is recorded in the NH State Papers. The 1790 U S census lists 2 males over 16, 3 males under 16, and 5 females in this family. CFA member Tom Eschweiler has given us many facts about this family (Rawlins or Rollins Family).

84. BENJAMIN 6 CHADBOURNE (64. Benjamin 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick 8 Nov 1756; died Newburyport MA 28 Dec 1808 (Newburyport VR, Deaths, 2:579); married first 8 Nov 1781 (Greenland VR) COMFORT WEEKS, born 26 Mar 1762, died of putrid fever Lebanon ME 18 Feb 1784 (VR, 3:17), buried in Berwick, daughter of Maj William & Elinor (March) Weeks (Leonard Weeks of Greenland NHÔ); married second Newburyport MA 11 Nov 1790 EUNICE GREENLEAF (VR, 2:81). A widow Lydia Chadbourn died in Lebanon Oct 1859 (Records of Lebanon). Madam Chadbourn is mentioned in the Lebanon deaths 4 June 1790. A contrary report has Comfort (Weeks) Chadbourne married 31 May 1792 Joseph Clark (Greenland NH VR).

            Benjamin was a major in the militia, and one map calls his house, on Vine St in S Berwick, late Col Chadbourn's. He was one of the incorporators of Lebanon ME, owned several acres of land there, and was Lebanon's representative in 1781. Benjamin's estate was administered 2 May 1809 (Essex Co MA Probate #4835). Blaisdell Marsh Land, granted Benjamin by the proprietors of the town, has always been known as Chadbourne's Grant. Benjamin also owned Bagley's Grant, where he built a sawmill in Oct 1786. He lived in town, engaged in the lumbering business, but was not active in public affairs. He lived with Enoch Blaisdell and moved from town.

Children with second wife (NEHGR 82:506), surname CHADBOURNE:

            i.            MARY 7, bpt Berwick 11 Mar 1792; m1 Newburyport MA 5 Nov 1820 (VR 2:81) JOSEPH KNAPP JR: m2 JONATHAN BARTLETT.

85. JOSEPH 6 CHADBOURNE Esquire (65. Joseph 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick, baptized 26 June 1748 (NEHGR 82:315); died Little Falls after 1803 (Emery), probably 1810-20 (listed in 1810 US census, but not in 1820); married first 19 Nov 1762 (Bushman, Peter Grant of Berwick ME) OLIVE HAMILTON; married second 12 Sep 1771 (BVR, 118) Olive's sister MARTHA HAMILTON, died probably Somersworth NH Nov 1832, daughter of his step-mother Mary (Grant) Hamilton Chadbourne. She may have been the "widow of Joseph Chadburn of Hollis died Thursday in Somersworth" (DG&SA, 27 Nov 1832, 3). A woman over age 80 was living with Joseph Jr in Hollis in 1830.

            Joseph served from Berwick in the Revolution as a 2nd Lt in Capt Edward Grow's Co for six months in 1775; as a 2nd Lt in Capt Benjamin Hooper's Co, stationed at Falmouth in 1776; and as a 1st Lt in Col Lemuel Robinson's Regt in 1776 (Emery). Ridlon's Saco Valley Settlements and Families says he died of wounds received in the Revolution, but he seems to have lived for some years [page 118] after the war. The 1790 US Census lists him in Little Falls, with 2 males over 16, 2 males under 16, and 5 females.

            He settled in Little Falls-Phillipsburg (Hollis), in the part known as Dayton in later years. He was elected moderator and assessor at the first plantation meeting of Little Falls, and often held public office thereafter (York Co Session Recs, 12:140). In Oct 1784 he was ordered to be Clerk of the Plantation. In 1797, he was the first signer of a petition to separate the southern part from the rest of Hollis--it became Dayton in 1840.

            The only clue to his family listed in Emery was that he had a son who married Lucy Berry, never proved. The remainder of his family has been reconstructed by other researchers from scant records and census records. The confusion between his father Joseph, Capt Joseph, his son Joseph, and various nephews named Joseph make this family extremely difficult to identify.

            NOTE: Old correspondence of Seth Chadbourne's, written in 1885, provides us with a proper list of the children of Joseph and Martha. This list was given to him by Howard Locke, grandson of Joseph, son of his daughter Olive. We are pleased to include, possibly for the first time in print, the names of those children. Unfortunately, no dates were given. There seems to be no record of probate in York County.

Children (see note above), surname CHADBOURNE:

146      i.            THOMAS 7, b Hollis before 1774. In the list of children given by Howard Locke, he is always mentioned first.

            ii.            RUFUS, b after 1774, before 1790 (census); "was not married; died at sea when young".

            iii.            JOSEPH, b after 1775, possibly 1780 (if he was the under 16 male in 1790 census); d after 1830 (Hollis census); may have m LUCY BERRY. Letters state that Joseph lived with his father and had no family. He is listed without family in the 1810 census, and with another female of equal age and a woman over 70 in 1820 census, as well as 1830. He lived in Hollis through the 1830 census. See Zebulon #154A for posibility of a son.

Lucy B, b July 1817, d 27 Feb 1905 (gs, ibid), m Richard Smith, her sister's widower (confirmed in 1890s by [page 119] Locke as the only surviving child, Mrs Lucy Smith of Hollis). In addition to daughter Maria above, Richard Smith also had sons Arthur and Ed, although we do not have dates to confirm whether they were sons of Olive or Lucy.

            v.            POLLY, b 1780; d 16 Dec 1853; m 1812 DOMINICUS CUTTS of Saco, b 1777-78 (aad), d 4 May 1844. No children. Emery places this marriage in Scammon's family (86.ii) but the will proves otherwise.

As Olive lived in Somersworth, it may have been at her home that Joseph's widow died in 1832. 10 children (Hist. & Gen of Locke, #F-1206), 6 still living in 1880's.

Joseph 5 William 4 Humphrey 3-2 William 1), born Berwick circa 1753 (Chase Charts guess circa 1760); died S Berwick 24 Jan 1843, age 89 (DG&SA, Sat, 4 Feb 1843, 3); married first Berwick 8 May 1777 (BVR, 198) HANNAH GUPTIL, baptized 12 Mar 1747 (NEHGR 82:313), died 23 Mar 1815, age 56 (ibid, 538), daughter of Thomas and Mary Guptil (Hodsdon/Hodgdon Gen); probably married second (cert) 15 May 1816 (BVR, 330) MARY/MERCY DENNETT, born 1774-5 (aad), died S Berwick 13 Feb 1825 (Thompson ms); married third 10 Mar 1830 (BVR, 426) POLLY HACKLEY, born circa 1776 (age at Revolutionary Pension #W715). Polly Hackley was his widow on his pension claim allowed 30 July 1833 when she was aged 77. [page 120] Stackpole's Old Kittery says Scammon married second widow POLLY HODGDON? although this marriage is not included in the Hodgdon/Hodsdon Genealogy.

            Scammon's unusual name came from his maternal grandmother's maiden name. He served in Capt Ebenezer Sullivan's Co, Col James Scammel's Regt, May-Aug 1775, was at the Battle of Bunker Hill, and subsequently served a year in Cols Scammell and Robinson's NH Regts. He was placed on pension rolls 4 Mar 1837, age 79 (Rev Pension Rolls I:148). Scammon was the major heir of his father's property by will (YP #2660). He was taxed in S Berwick for 40 acres, 1 dwelling, 1 out-building (1816 YCPO). He lived on a small farm near his father's in Berwick (now S Berwick), near the Welches. Scammon's proof of death was filed in York County, #2373, but no will seems to have been probated.

            Polly Hackley, Scammon's 2nd or 3rd wife, had a daughter, Mary Ann Hackley, by an earlier marriage.
