REEN.
JOSHUA KEEN deposed in 1815, that he was 84 years of age, that in June, 1780, he was in Shepardsfield, for the purpose of taking land, and was informed by John Green- wood, the agent of Mr. Shepard, who accompanied him, that a lot he wanted, had already been taken by Asa Bearce and further, he was knowing to the said Bearce's falling trees on the lot in 1782. Mr. Keen came from Pembroke, Mass. and this deposition proves him to have been one of the first settlers of Hebron. He was a Lieutenant in Capt. Ford's, Pembroke co. in 1776, and Sprague Keen, whose name appears in the army rolls of 1779, age 20, light com- plexion, 5ft 7in, stature, was most likely, his son. In 1801 , he sold to his son Nathaniel one undivided half, in common,
