• Notes

  "He resided in Freetown, but removed to Falmouth, Me, about 1728, and settled on the Presumpscot River, where he had granted to him in 1728 a tract of land on the back coast, on which to erect a mill. He owned a large tract of land at Broad Bay (now called Portland) which he gave to his sons, who removed there in 1752, but on account of troubles with the Indians were obliged, after a few years, to return to Falmouth. He was the first Friend in Falmouth, and 'lent a most important support to the doctrines of that respectable people in this neighborhood.' [History of Portland.]" [Winslow Memorial, citation details below]
