LEWIS.
1 JOSEPH LEWIS, born at Rumery Marsh (Chelsea), Mass., Jan. 11, 17234, founded the family in this locality. His ancestry for three generations had been as follows:
I, John and Mary (Brown) Lewis, Charlestown and Malden, Mass.
II, Isaac and Mary (Davis) Lewis.
III, Isaac and Hannah (Hallett) Lewis, Rumery Marsh and York, Me.
Joseph married Sarah Dexter about 1753, and it is thought that they were married before moving to Townsend. If so they came soon afterward. They first settled on the Dover road and then moved to Back River, locating where Isaac Sudds now lives, on the branch road leading from Hodgdon's Island bridge to Back River. From his farm the cemetery was taken, the entrance to which leads from where he had his house. He was engaged in coasting during nearly all his life in town. A large percentage of his descendants have been seamen, and, while the family is one of the most numerous in the locality, many have found homes elsewhere. His sons were among the earliest persons in town to espouse the Free Will Baptist religion and were influential in organizing that society. A few early publish- ments have been somewhat disconcerting in compiling this family, but who- ever they may have been who bore the Lewis name it is certain they left no descendants here. He died Dec. 5, 1807; she died Dec. 15, 1807. Children:

LINEKIN.
1 BENJAMIN LINEKIN took up the neck of land southerly from E. B., which has ever since borne his name, before 1743. His wife's name was Mary. He died Mar. 12, 1796; she died Mar. 4, 1807. His will appears in Lincoln Prob. Rec., Vol. VII, 184-86. He was the first owner of the Neck after the Dunbar settlement. It is thought that the Linekin fam. were from Plymouth, or that vicinity, and were related to the Farnham fam. before coming here. He probably set. where the Bicknell cottage stands, for his son David, who succeeded him, lived on that spot. Joseph and Clark Line- kin, supposed to be younger brothers to Benjamin, came to the Neck later, lived for a time and then moved elsewhere. It is said that Clark went to Green's Landing, Deer Isle, and Joseph probably went to Cushing, founding the fam. of that name in that locality. Children:
2 Abigail, b. Mar. 9, 1743; m. - Johnson.
3 Elizabeth, b. Dec. 5. 1745; m. - Sawyer.
