GREELEY.
JOHN GREELEY, son of Thomas and Alice (Ross) Gree- ley of Falmouth, bought of Samuel Phillips of Andover, a lot of land at a place called "Phillips Gore", lying between the towns of Hebron and Otisfield. This property he sold to Edward Scribner in 1799, agreeing to vacate the same before June 1800. In 1798 he joined with his brother Will- iam, of Gray, in a conveyance of their shares in their moth- ers estate, it being the historic "Widow Greeleys Tavern" in Portland, to their sister Mary Greeley. Both John and William were soldiers in the Revolution, and both, prob., assisted their mother in her heroic success in the protection of her house, when Falmouth was burned by Mowatt.
