ROBERT BLAIR
Probably one of the most noted Friends in this vicinity was the man whose
name heads this sketch. He was a native of Armagh, Ireland and came with his
wife to this country when a young man. He was a weaver by trade, but having
received a good education and being a man of good natural abilities he was
engaged as a teacher in Falmouth almost as soon as he arrived there, which
profession he followed with uniform success, noted “schoolmaster” of the
times. He was also an eloquent minister of the Friends society and as such
was cordially welcomed wherever he went. He married Ann KING, a native of

LOWELL of Newbury
This family wherever found in New England descend from two brothers, John and
Percival LOWELL, or as the name is spelled in the old records, LOWLE, who
came from Bristol, England to Newbury in 1639. These brothers had been
sucessful merchants in Bristol and after their settlement in this country
they carried on an extensive business as importers. It also appears that
they had a brother Richard who came with them and was a partner in their
business. All three of these men are called Mr. on the old records and were
doubtless men of wealth and good standing in the community. Mr. Percival
LOWELL died Jan. 8, 1665. His wife Rebecca died Dec. 28, 1645. I find no
record of any children.
Mr. Richard Lowell was born in Bristol, England in 1602, died in Newbury
in 1682. His first wife, whose name is unknown, died in 1642. His second
wife was Margaret. By his first wife he had two children, born in Newbury:
1. Percival, born in 1639

2. Rebecca, born Jan. 27, 1642
It is probable that he had children born before he emigrated to this country.
By his second wife, Margaret he had two children:
1. Samuel, born in 1644
2. Thomas, born Sept. 28, 1649. Richard Lowell died Aug. 5, 1682
Mr. John Lowell was twice married. His first wife’s name is unknown. His
second wife was Elizabeth GOODALE, who died Apr. 1651. He died June 29,
1647. Had children as follows, born in Newbury:
1. Joseph, born Nov 28, 1639
2. Benjamin, born Sept. 12, 1642
3. Thomas, born June 4, 1644
4. Elizabeth, born Feb. 16, 1646
The old records state that he had other children: John, Peter, Mary and James
but no dates of birth are given, and it is probable they were born in
England.
Benjamin, son of John and Elizabeth GOODALE-LOWELL, married Ruth WOODMAN,
Oct 17, 1666. Had children as follows:
1. Ruth, born Sept. 4, 1667
2. Elizabeth, born Oct. 16, 1699
3. Benjamin, born Feb. 5, 1674
4. Sarah, born Mar. 15, 1676
5. Joseph, born Sept. 12, 1680
6. John, born Feb. 25, 1683
Percival, son of Richard and Margaret LOWELL, married Mary Chandler, Sept
7, 1664, Children:
1. Richard, born Dec. 25, 1668, died May 29, 1749
2. Gideon, born, Sept. 3, 1672
3. Samuel, born Jan. 13, 1676
4. Edmund, born Sept. 24, 1684
Gideon, son of Percival and Mary-CHANDLER-LOWELL, married Mary ______.
Had a daughter Mary, born Mar. 1, 1693.
Richard, son of Percival and Mary-CHANDLER-LOWELL, married Sara BROWN, Apr
8, 1695.
Had two children:
1. Hannah, born Mar. 11, 1696
2. Sarah, born Apr. 10, 1705
According to a footnote in Rev. Thomas Smith’s Journal all those bearing
the Lowell name in Portland, Westbrook and Windham, descend from Gideon
LOWELL who came from Amesbury to Portland and died there in 1761. He appears
to have been a property owner here and had a house near Clark’s Point where
his son Abner was born, Jan. 3, 1741, died in 1828, aged 87 years.
Abner LOWELL, son of Gideon, married Mercy PAINE, Jan. 1, 1765.
Doubtless, Gideon LOWELL, had other children, as I find in Rev. Dr. Deanes
record of marriages, the following. Nov. 30, 1767, married William LUNT, to
Mary LOWELL. Again Jan. 10, 1787, married Amos GREENLIEF to Polly LOWELL.
But it is through Abner and Mercy-PAINE LOWELL that all the present families
of that name descend.

estimation. His skill in the manufacture of military weapons was usually
united with great dexterity in using them with the great strength of body
which the profession required, the gowan usually ranked as third officer in
the household..
The first of this family in America was William Gowen who lived at
Kittery, Me. In the early records he was sometimes SMITH and at others
GOWEN. William Gowen was a carpenter and married at Kittery, Me. May 14,
1667, Elizabeth FROST, the daughter of Nicholas Frost, the first settler of
Elliott, Me. She was born at Kittery, May 10, 1640. Her mother is said to
have been Bertha Cadwalla, and Elizabeth was a sister to Maj. Charles FROST,
who was so prominent in the early history of Maine and they had eight
children.
William Gowen died at the part of Kittery then called ÒBarwickÓ Apr. 2,
1686. He was buried according to the custom of the times, there having been
purchased for the funeral, seven gallons of rum, a gallon of wine with sugar
and spices for the same.
His son William was killed by the Indians in 1691, and his gun was taken
from him for which his fatherÕs estate was obliged to pay L. 1-10 shs.
Nicholas Gowen was the oldest son of William. He was born about 1668. He
married about 1693, Abigail HODSDON, a daughter of Benoni HODSDON of Berwick,
and they had nine children. He was admitted to practice as an Attorney in
the Superior Court of Common Pleas and was sworn according to law in 1703.
This was twenty two years before Noah Emery, the reputed first lawyer in
Maine commenced practice. He was representative to the Gerneal Court of
Mass. from Kittery in 1709. His house is said to be the oldest one now
standing in the town of Elliot and must be nearly two hundred years old, and
perhaps more. He died about 1742 and his wife later. He gave his estate to
his youngest son, Hon James Gowen, to care for him and his wife during their
lives in 1739-1740.
William Gowen was the sixth child of Nicholas and was born Apr. 4, 1705,
married June 26, 1724, Jane Gowen, a daughter of John and Mercy Gowen. She
was his cousin. They lived at Kittery. He died in 1748 and his widow went to
Boston where she died Sept. 20, 1750, aged 44 years. They had six children.
In 1722, he was a scout in Capt. John Wheelwrights’s Co.
William Gowen Jr. was the second child of William, was born Mar. 3,
1727. His wifes name was Abigail and they had children. He was a soldier in
Capt. Noah EmeryÕs Co. in 1757, and Mar. 10, 1760 he enlisted in Capt. John
Wentworth’s Co. and died in the service Sept. 29, 1760. He is said to have
left a family of small children, and his widow may have married in 1766, John
HODSDON.
James Gowen, son of William Jr. was born Feb. 18, 1754 and was but six
years of age when his father died in the army. He was taken by his father’s
uncle. Hon. James Gowen, who was a very prominant man in his time. He had no
sons so the boy had a good opportunity by being with one who could give him
the advantage of his position. When he became of age, James Gowen started in
life for himself. He had evidently joined the Quakers at Kittery and about
1776, came to Falmouth, and in 1778, bought land in Westbrook near the Duck
Pond. He married May 5, 1778, Edna KNIGHT, a daughter of Moses and Hannah-
AKERS-KNIGHT, who then lived on the Haste Place, in Quaker Lane, in Deering.
She was born Jan. 7, 1756, and her descendants knew of her as a smart capable
woman. She died Aug. 17, 1814, aged 58 years. They lived on the old Duck
Pond Road and their house is still standing and now-1897- is occupied by
their great grandchildren. The family grave-yard is in the field opposite
the house. James Gowen was an active stirring man. He kept a Tavern,
carried on farming, lumbering and other businesses. He was a large sized man
and always wore the Quaker garb and attended the meetings of that sect of

Mass. in 1810, and was a man of infulence in his time. He married in 1815,
for his second wife the widow of Thomas LEIGHTON, maiden name Lucy STAPLES,
who was liked and respected by his children. She lived a number of years
after his death, which occured July 26, 1822, at the age of 68 years. His
children were all by his first wife and were as follows:
1. Molly, born Mar. 22, 1779, died Sept. 5, 1780
2. Betsey, born May 15, 1781, married Dec. 27, 1807, Nathan GOOLD of Windham,
where she died Oct. 22, 1866, aged 85 years. She is remembered as an active
and energetic woman of character, but small in stature. Her husband died in
1823, leaving her with three children, the oldest, then fourteen, the late
Hon. William GOOLD, Mirriam then three and Nathan fifteen months old.
She pluckily carried on the farm, raised her family and the land is now-

In early times there were Gowings at Dedham, Rowley and Lynn, Mass but

of Cape Small Point is in a deed of that land to William Gowen from James
Middleton Sept. 16, 1676.
WILLIAM CAMPBELL
see pages 335-336 in Windham in the Past ref. his first wife and family. The
second Mrs. Campbell, bore the unenviable reputation of being a witch
Doctress of uncommon ability and in that early day was often called upon to
exercise her skill, and many stories are told of her uncanny powers. Rev.
Mr. Smith maked the following entry in the church book, under date of Oct.
30, 1785. Baptized Elizabeth the wife of William CAMPBELL, Jane, Lydia,
Laranna, Joel Pike and Betty the children of William and Elizabeth CampbellÓ
There was also a son James who married Peggy HENDLY, the widow of Nathaniel
Mugford. Their intention was entered on the Town record, Apr. 15, 1831. The
name is spelled Campbell, Cambel, Camble and Camel. The family has been
extinct in Windham for many years.
DOCT. STEPHEN SWETT
was the first physician to settle in Gorham and like many of the old
worthies, but little has been preserved in regard to him in the town annals.
The following however may be regarded as correct so far as it goes: Dr.
Swett came from Exeter N.H. about 1770, and was married and had seven
children at the time of his settlement here and seven more born in this town.
He was probably the son of Moses Swett of Exeter, N.H. and grandson of Capt.
Benjamin SWETT, who was killed by the Indians at Black Point, now
Scarborough, June 19, 1677, at which time sixty men besides himself were
either killed or wounded.
The emigrant ancestor of Doct. SWETT, was John Swett, who came from
Devonshire, England, and was one of the grantees of Newbury, Mass. Dec. 7,
1642. His son, Capt. Benjmain, was born in England about 1626, and married
in Nov. 1647, Hester WEARE, and moved to Hampton, N.H. in 1663. He left
eleven children. Doct. Stephen SWETT, married May 8, 1756, Sarah ADAMS, a
daughter of Doct. Samuel ADAMS of Durham, N.H. Her brother Lieut. Col.
Winborn ADAMS was killed at the battle of Stillwater, Sept. 19, 1777. She
was probably a descendant of GovÕs . Winthrop and Dudley and perhaps a cousin
of President John Adams.
Doct SWETT had lived in Gorham about five years when the Revolutionary
War broke out, and conscious of the responsibility of the times he enlisted
as surgeon, May 7, 1775, in Col. Edmund Phinneys 31st Regiment of foot and
went to Cambridge with the regiment in July, where he probably served until
their discharge, Dec. 31, 1775. The officers were not at first commissioned,
and Oct. 6, 1775, he, with others, was recommended by Gen. Washington for a
commission of his rank. There is no further record, although tradition says
he had other service. Doct. SWETT lived near Fort Hill, in Gorham,
afterwards in Windham and died in Otisfield, Jan. 6, 1807. said to have been
more than 75 years of age. His wife died in the same town, May 3, 1808.

acres adjoining bounded as follows, beginning near the town road leading from

old Mr. Munroes toward Menotomy (the history states that this is the present

Lexington, Mass. May 10, 1736, came to Windham, then called New Marblehead,
with his parents some time about 1740, and died in that town, May 25, 1802.
He married either Nancy MAYBERRY or Nancy
NEWMAN. In the absence of any positive proof in the matter, the burden of
traditional evidence is in favor of the first named party. It well be
noticed that both were named Nancy. The town records state that ÒNancy, wife
of Gershom WINSHIP died in Gorham, Feb. 10, 1808. If she was Nancy Mayberry,
then she was the daughter of William and Bathsheba-DENNIS-MAYBERRY, born in
Windham, May 28, 1740, and was the second white child born in town. If on
the other hand, as some of the descendants say, Nancy Newman, then I have no
knowledge whatever of her ancestry. Gershom WINSHIP and his wife Nancy had

lost his left arm, by a premature discharge of one of the swivel guns
belonging to the town. He had an iron hook attached to the stump and was in
consequence called Hook Winship. He died at the home of his brother Seth, in
Portland and his remains lie intered in the Eastern Cemetery.
John, son of Gershom and Nancy WINSHIP, married Sept. 14, 1786, Betty,
daughter of Richard and Martha-MERRILL-DOLE. He died in Otisfield, Me in

Primes Reg. enlisted May 7, 1780, and served at Thomaston, then called
Bagaduce, until Dec. 6, 1780, when the Reg. was discharged. He had two
children born in Windham and two more born in Otisfield, then called Philips

Anthony Brackett was an early settler on Casco Bay, where his posterity yet
remain. The family were large land holders in Falmouth between the years
1680 and 1690, under a title of government signed by President Danforth.
When Casco, now Portland, was destroyed by the Indians in 1676, Capt.
Brackett and his wife and one child were taken by the Indains and landed by
them on the north side of the bay. This was on the 11th of August 1676, and
the Nov. following they made their escape. They found an old canoe in which

they escaped to the other side of the bay, where they got on board a vessel
and arrived safe in Pisquatagua, now Portsmouth. Capt. Brackett returned to
Falmouth, Me. in 1679. He became a selectman and Capt. of a company and when
Gov. Andros erected forts there in 1688, he was put in command. He was
killed by the Indians on his farm at Back Cove Sept. 21, 1689.
Capt Anthony BRACKETT and his first wife Annie MITTON had five children
all born in Falmouth, Me:
1. Anthony, killed by the Indians 1689
2. Seth, killed by the Indians 1689
3. Mary, married Nathaniel WITCHER
4. Keziah, married 1st a PATTERSON, 2nd Joseph MAYLEM
5. Eleanor, married 1st James ANDREWS, 2nd Richard PULLEN
By his second wife, Susanna DRAKE, to whom he was married in 1679,
Capt. Brackett had six more children:
1. Anthony, married Mary ____ and had Mary, born May 8, 1704 and Anthony born
Jan. 5, 1708
2. Zepporah
3. Zachariah, born Jan. 20, 1682, married first Hannah ____, second Mary ROSS
4. Ann
5. Susannah, married Samuel PROCTOR, he was born in Salem, Mass, Mar. 16,
1680.
6. Jane
Capt BrackettÕs second wife and several of his children escaped to
Hampton, N.H. where her people lived in 1690, at which time Falmouth was
destroyed by the Indians. Her son Anthony finally settled in Boston where he
kept a tavern on the present School Street. His son Anthony, born in
Hampton, N.H. was a rope maker and with others, leased their right in lands
in Portland, Me. for 99 years and did not return.
Thomas BRACKETT, son of Anthony the emigrant, came to Falmouth-Portland-
prior to 1662. He lived on the homestead on Clarks Point that came to his
wife Mary MITTON, from her grandfather, George Cleves, the first settler of
Falmouth, Maine. He was killed by the Indians, Aug. 11, 1676, at Clarks
Point and his wife and children were carried off by the Indians, and she died
within a year. Her children returned to Portsmouth, N.H. The childen of
Thomas and Mary MITTON BRACKETT:
1. Joshua, born in Falmouth, Me. in 1671, married Mary WEEKS, settled in
Greenland, N.H. and died there June 19, 1749
2. Samuel, born in Falmouth, Me. Apr. 27, 1672, settled in Berwick, Me.
3. Sarah, born in Falmouth, Me in 1673, married John HILL of Portsmouth, N.H.
4. Mary, born in Falmouth, Me, married Chirstopher MITCHELL of Kittery, Me in
1708.
In 1665, Thomas received a deed from his mother-in-law, Elizabeth
HARVEY, widow of Michael MITTON, of fifty acres of land, for the love she
bore Thomas Brackett, who married my daughter, Mary MITTON. In 1671, he
received a deed from Elizabeth Harvey, widow- her second husband had died-
for natural love and parental affection that she beareth her son-in-law,
Thomas Brackett and Mary his wife, and also in consideration, that he engages
to maintain her in meat and drink, apparel, housing and lands purchased by
her first husband, washing, lodging and all other things necessary and
convenient for during my natural life. In consideration, her son-in-law, has
the housing and lands purchased by her first husband, Michael MITTON, of her
father George Cleves, all land on the neck, dwelling house, out housing,
tillage, wood, ect. all cattle, young and old and all household stuff, but
said Thomas is not to sell any land, without consent of his wife, and if his
wife died he is to enjoy the use for his life and at his death to go to his
children. As late as 1727, the court gave administration in Thomas Bracketts

estate to his son Joshua and in 1728, the court gave him administration on
the estate of his grandfather, Michael MITTON, who died in 1660.
Joshua, son of Thomas and Mary MITTON-BRACKETT, born in Falmouth, Me. in
1671, was carried to Portsmouth, N.H., with others, after the first Indian
War in 1676, and on arriving at manhood married Mary HAINES WEEKS and settled

Windham, Maine vital records
Family records written by Samuel Dole.
Angleised O’Leary and Leary, mordenized LARY, LARY and LARA
The first American Ancestor of the family, so far as we know was Dennis
who emigrrated to this country from Kilkenney, he landed first at York, Me.
From there he came to Gorham, Me. and lived for a while in the McLellan
family. Just what time he came here is unknown, but his name appears on the
Town Records in 1744, when he was a taxpayer. He served in the French and
Indiah war as a substitute for a man named Tate, and from him received a lot
of land in Gorham, for his service. This land was in the present village and
was scituated on South Street. Here he settled and spent the remainder of
his life.
If the inscription on his grave stone is to be relied on, he was born in
1694, and died in 1796, at the extreme age of 102 years. He was twice
married. His first wife was Margaret Brown, but of her I can learn nothing
save that they had two children:
1. John: who was drowned at an early age, date of birth and death unknown.
2. James: born in Gorham, July 4, 1755, died in Turner, Me. Jan. 31, 1842. He
spelled the name Lara.
James, son of Dennis and Margaret-Brown-LARRY, married Molly or Mary HOBBS of
old Falmouth.
She was born Aug. 29, 1758, died in Turner, Me. Aug. 1850, married Mar. 28,
1782 by Rev. Ebenezer Williams, second minister of the Third Parish in
Falmouth, then called New Casco. James LARA and his wife Molly had children
as follows;
1. Olive; born Nov. 24, 1783, died in 1802
2. Nancy; born Nov. 29, 1785
3. John; born Oct. 1787, died in 1791
4. Daniel; born Nov. 1789, died in 1803
5. Isaiah; born June 24, 1793, died Jan. 7, 1869
6. Jane; born Sept. 4, 1795
7. Sally; born 1797, died 1800
8. Jonathan; born 1799, died 1804
Of the above children, Olive, Daniel and Jonathan were buried on the Col.
Jonah HOBBS place at Black Shop, Falmouth. John was buried in what was known
as the Friend Yard near Prides Bridge, Deering. Sally was buried in the
Deacon Bulier Yard, near the same place.
James LARA served in the Continental army nearly or quite four years. We
find in the History of Col. Edmond Phinneys 31st Reg. written by Nathan
Goold, that he enlisted in Capt. John Rices company on May 18, 1775, but the
following abstract from the pension rolls obtained by one of his grandsons
shows that he served in other companies.
We copy verbalim:

Brewer. Discharged at West Point, Dec 15, 1779. Present at the surrender of
Gen. Burgoyne and on the retreat from Fort Ticonderoga, at Hoberttown when
wounded in the left shoulder. While the Army was at Valley Forge received in
an engagement, a sabre cut cleaving off a portion of the left cheek, and
flesh from the lift shoulder, cutting the cords of the arm. Lieut. James
Means-living at Westbrook in 1818- who testifies to his service as well as to
his bravery as a soldier, and to the faithful discharge of his duties,
enlisted him on Dec 1776. He was taken prisoner at the time of receiving the
sabra injuries, carried to Philadelphia, after a short period, liberated and
on his recovery joined his companions again. It is supposed he resided- if
not before- after his military service in Gorham, Me.
J.H.Baker, Commissioner
From a private letter written by a grand-nephew of James LARA, we take the
following extract, When I was a boy, this uncle James Lara, visited Gorham
passing through Windham by the way of Gambo-now Newhall-stopping at my
fathers blacksmith shop where he told of his conflict with a British
horseman. It was a British sabre and American bayonet. The American was
wounded in the left shoulder, loosing some blood. The Britons loss was more
serious, it might have been his life, as the American rode his fine white
horse into camp, for which the colonies paid his a good price. This was
doubtless on the retreat from Ticonderoga.

PELTIAH ALLEN
First of the name in Windham, was the son of Francis and Mary ALLEN of
Kittery. He was born in that town, Dec. 14, 1746. He died in Windham Apr.
16, 1811. He married on Apr. 20, 1766, Hannah, daughter of Ebenezer and
Hannah HALL. The following is related in an old manuscript still preserved
in the family of Mr. Isaiah Allen of Windham, which I am allowed to copy.
Three brothers by the name of HALL came to this country from England. One
of them was drowned and one returned to England, and the other, Ebenezer,
soon after settled on Martinicus Island, which he bought and paid for. By
his first wife, whose name is unknown, he had three children: Ebenezer, Susan
and Hannah.
Mrs Hall died when Hannah was only one day old, and a Mrs. Green was
employed to nurse and take care of the infant. Mrs. GREENs husband dying,
Mr. HALL married her for his second wife and they had three children: Peter,
Phebe and Tabitha. While these last children were quite young the house was
attacked by a party of Indians. The house built of logs was constructed with
reference to the probable attacks of the savages, and was successfully
defended by the inmates for three days and nights. When all being quiet for
some hours, Mr. HALL thinking the Indians had gone away, ventured to take a
look from the scuttle window. The savages had not left, but were hid in

ambush near by, and immediately shot Mr. Hall dead. As he fell back into the
house the frightned children cried out Father is dead The mother not being
able to prevent their lamintations. The savages outside were listening found
that the principal defender was out of the way, immediately battered in the
door, took the mother and children present prisoners, plundered the house of
such things as they cared for, set fire to the house and drove their captives
before them to Canada.
Williamson in his history of Maine, Vol. 2, page 326, says that Mr. Hall
was killed June 10, 1757. In Canada they were seperated, and the children
have never since been heard from. The mother, the former Mrs. Green, with
other prisoners of war was afterwards ransomed and made her way on foot to
Gorham, Me, and she afterwards married Chipman COBB. The older children by
his first wife were all from home at the time of the attack on the father s
house and thus escaped the fate of the rest of their family.
Ebenezer was out fishing, the girls, Susan and Hannah were living in
Portland.
Ebenezer married and had fifteen children. He settled on the old homestead
at Martinicus Island, and reports came to his sisters that he had deeded one
half of the Island to a man-said to be a lawyer- that represented to him, the
said Ebenezer, that the title of the Island was defective and that for one
half of it he would secure him in possession of the remainder. The girls,
Susan and Hannah never entered their claim for a share of the property saying
their brother was in straitened circumstances, and that they were as well
able to live without it as he was with it. The girls both married and
settled in what is now Windham, Cumberland Co. Maine, where they have
numerous descendants now living- Jan. 1, 1867.
The two nearest of kin being two sisters, Tabitha and Lydia ALLEN, aged
80 and 82 years, children of Hannah and granddaughters of Ebenezer HALL, who
was killed by the Indians.
