APPENDIX A
This compilation was made from "An Alphabetical Index of Revolution- ary Pensioners Living in Maine" by Charles Alcott Flagg, published at Dover, Maine in 1920, reprinted from Sprague's Journal of Maine History.
List 35 is a report from the Secretary of War, "in obedience to resolu- tions of the Senate in 1834 and 1835". List c is the pensioners under the act of March 18, 1818; listed is the pensioners under the act of June 7, 1832.
List 40 is a census of pensioners from Revolutionary and other military services, under the act for taking the sixth census in 1840.
The "age" reported for each pensioner is the age at the time the list was made, e.g., John Blake, listed 35d (1832) was 77 or 79, so he was born in either 1755 or 1753.
This compilation was in two steps; first, by checking all names in the 1800 census (Appendix B) of Orrington, Holden and Eddington. If a simi- lar name was found, it was included, although it would be necessary to do much more checking to prove the individual; second, by going through the Index and copying all Penobscot County residents, knowing how families have moved about since the early 1800's.

APPENDIX C JONATHAN EDDY*
Jonathan Eddy is listed in the 1800 census of Orrington. He was born. in Norton, Massachusetts, where he lived until 1755. Real Estate trans- actions refer to him as "gentleman".
In 1754, following service in the "French" War, he assisted in the erection of "Fort Halifax" and other fortifications of the Kennebec River.
In 1758, Thomas Pownal authorized him to "beat his Drums any where within this Province, for enlisting volunteers for His Majesty's service", referring to him as Captain. In 1758, he raised a company for the Reduction of Canada, in a Regiment under the Command of Thomas Doty, Esquire.
During 1759, he kept a daybook, from which these excerpts are taken: May 23. "Whereas the Itch increases among the soldiers of this gar- rison, the officers are earnestly recommended to procure Brimstone and what else may be necessary to cure it and put a stop to it. June 30. Divine service to be attended once every Sunday by all in Garrison not on duty. July 3. Rum will not defend the Soldiers from the incle- mency of ye weather nor the attacks of Stinging insects, with which this country very plentifully abounds, as clothes would, and besides, too much strong water intoxicates the brain".
July 21, Men shall not eat their molasses with their victuals but brew it into Beer. Sept 30. Officers and private soldiers having been ac- customed to gameing at cards in the Barracks, such gameing is for- bidden and to be suppressed."
He was dischaged in 1760 and returned to Norton, Mass. where he remained until 1763, when he bought land in Fort Cumberland, Nova Scotia, where he still had descendants in 1877.
Following the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, he went immediate- ly to General George Washington to see if troops might be raised to bring Nova Scotia into the United States; the Commonwealth of Massa- chusetts aided him somewhat in his project but Mr. Porter maintains none came from Continental Congress.
On the 12th of November, 1776, Colonel Eddy led a detachment of about 72 men, including some Indians, to take Fort Cumberland, which they beseiged until November 27th. A British Man of War persuaded them that further seige was impractical that year. The next year, he again returned to Nova Scotia with a detachment.
He was at Machias on August 12, 1777 when it was attacked by the British, and Mr. Porter maintains that it was Col. Eddy rather than Col. Allan who led the attack. He bases this claim on two depositions, one by Col. Eddy himself, and another by Rev. Seth Noble, both of which state that John Allan was at that time "Superintendent of Eastern In- dians" and was not armed the day of the incident, as well as the of- ficial reports of the incident.
After the Machias attack, he again returned to Mass .; in 1784, he resolved to emigrate to Maine. In August, 1784, he removed with his family to Township No. Ten, which became Eddington, in his honor.
Jonathan Eddy was the chairman of the committee to choose a minis- ter for the church, the Rev. Seth Noble, who is listed as one of the refugees from Nova Scotia. Jonathan Eddy was also the first Magistrate on the "Penobscot River", appointed by Governor John Hancock on June 19, 1790. On Feb. 25, 1792, he issued the warrant to Capt. James Budge to call a meeting of Inhabitants to organize the Town of Bangor.
In 1800, he was appointed first postmaster of Eddyton Plantation. In 1801 he was granted acreage in Chillicothe, Ohio for the refugees from Nova Scotio. He died in August, 1804, after a long and eventful life. He is buried in the Settlers Cemetery at Eddington Bend. A memorial marker is erected at the intersection of the highways at the Bend.
