WALKER, MAJOR NATHANIEL.
Nathaniel Walker was born in Arundel, now Kennebunk, Septem- ber 25, 1781, and while a boy came with his father to Topsham, in which town he passed the greater part of his life.
He was a warm-hearted patriot, and served in the war of 1812. He was captain of the Topsham artillery company in 1814, when it was called out and ordered to Bath for the defence of that town, and was subsequently promoted to the office of major. He filled various public positions. He was town clerk for a series of years and post- master for some length of time. Major Walker was also a justice of the peace and an efficient member of the Citizens' Fire Company, in which he always kept up an interest. His chief occupation was that of surveyor of lumber, and he was also interested in the lumber busi- ness. He was an energetic and able business man. He had a strong constitution and was very healthy, never having been sick up to the time of his death. He built, in 1809, the Walker homestead, where he lived until his death, which took place August 17, 1851.
WHEELER, REVEREND AMOS DEAN, D. D.
The subject of this sketch was born in Woodstock, Vermont, Decem- ber 13, 1803, and was the son of Amos Wheeler, Jr., and Lydia [Ran- dall] Wheeler. His father dying when he was three years old, he was adopted by James Udall, Esquire, of Hartland, Vermont, with whom he lived until seventeen years of age, receiving instruction in the com- mon schools and at Thetford Academy. In 1820 he went to Leices- ter, Massachusetts, where his relatives resided, and attended Leicester Academy for a while, subsequently teaching school until he entered Williams College, from which he graduated in 1827. He then taught the academy at Marlboro' for two years, at the expiration of which time he was elected principal of the Latin Grammar School in Salem. He remained in that position for three years, studying theology, mean- time, with the Reverend Charles Upham, D. D., who was then pastor

of the First Church in Salem. Resigning his school in 1832, he spent a year at Harvard Divinity School, graduating therefrom in 1833. From Cambridge he went to Meadville, Pennsylvania, to supply the pulpit of the Unitarian Society, and remained there seven or eight months. While at Meadville he received a call to settle over that par- ish, but declined on account of the distance from his relatives and friends. In 1834 he was invited to and was settled over the Unitarian Society in Standish, Maine. He continued in that place until 1839, when he received a call to settle in Topsham, where he ever after lived. For fourteen years he preached in the Unitarian Meeting-House in Topsham. At the end of that time the Unitarian Society of Topsham and the Universalist Society of Brunswick were united under the name of " The Mason Street Religious Society," of Brunswick, and Mr. Wheeler was invited to become pastor of the new organization. He preached to this society until 1865, when he resigned and was soon after appointed missionary for the American Unitarian Association to the State of Maine, and at about the same time he was elected secre- tary of the Maine Conference of Unitarian churches. He died June 28, 1876.
The following obituary notices by life-long friends undoubtedly give a correct estimate of his character and abilities.
" Soon after Doctor Wheeler made Topsham his home he became known to the college. Three of his sons were graduated from it. He was for years uniformly on its committee of examination. I doubt whether the late Professor Smyth thought he could have an examing- tion in the higher mathematics without him. But he was at home in any department of the course. The doors of the college were always wide open to him, and she bestowed on him her highest honors.1
" Interested in education, he was for years on the superintending school committee of his town, and I think there was not a child in the town who was not glad to see him enter the school-room on his official visits He was interested in young men ; fitted several for the col- lege, received undergraduates as pupils, and they respected and loved him as a father.
" He was for many years on the standing committee of the Maine Historical Society, and much esteemed and respected for counsel and encouragement."
"Doctor Wheeler was a man of unquestioned ability, of cultivated and literary tastes, an easy, graceful writer, ready in extempore

address, of singular purity of life and conversation, possessing a heart as tender and true as that of a child. Scorning all equivocations, pur- suing the right with unflinching purpose, leading the life of the hum- ble and devoted Christian, he won the love of the people of his own denomination, and the esteem of all others who knew and appreciated his worth."
" Doctor Wheeler was a man of strong convictions, of decided opin- ions, of a gentle, genial spirit, generous impulses and sympathies for every good object, of high-toned character. He was not a man to kindle unkind emotions in any breast. I do not believe he left an hos- tile or unfriendly feeling in any one, and we cannot help exclaiming with the Psalmist, 'Help, Lord, for the faithful fail from among the children of men !'"
Says a writer in the Christian R gister, " He was a man of larger natural endowment and more varied attainments than was generally known. Few of his contemporaries excelled him in mathematical scholarship. He kept well up with the college curriculum in all its departments. For many years he was a regular contributor of able articles to a journal of mathematical science. He had a poetic taste and faculty beyond the average of cultivated men. Few surpassed him in critical and thorough knowledge of the Bible, and in ready abil- ity to maintain his position by exact verbal quotations therefrom. Of clear mental vision and acute argumentative powers, he was strong as he was also fair and good-natured in general debate.
" Calm habitually, even to sedateness, self-governed and judicious, the man of all around you to whom you would intrust any matter requiring sober and unbiassed deliberation, he could yet make merry with the gayest within the bounds of right and reason, was as tender in his feelings as a child, and his religious emotions were easily excited."
His children will be pardoned if, from a filial regard to his memory, they have allowed a disproportionate space to this sketch.
WILSON, CAPTAIN THOMAS.
Thomas Wilson came from Ireland when he was about fifteen years of age, arrived in Boston, afterwards came to Topsham, and when the Indian war commenced returned to Boston again. On the return of peace he moved back to Topsham, and remained during the last French and Indian war, and until his decease. He was buried in the grave- yard near the old meeting-house. He was the only one of his family who came to this country. He was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian.
823
BIOGRAPHICAL.
He was a noted hunter, and was one of the early explorers of what is now the town of Farmington. His house, a block-house, stood a lit- tle west of where Mr. James Wilson's house now stands. His third son, Thomas, was in the English navy in the Revolution, and died in consequence of wounds received in action. He may have been im- pressed into the British service, but the belief has always prevailed in the family that he entered it voluntarily.
WOODSIDE, REVEREND JAMES.
Reverend James Woodside was a clergyman of the Church of Eng- land. According to a statement in the Pejepscot Papers, he, with his son William, arrived in this country prior to the year 1714. He remained at Falmouth with his family, and his son came to this town and took charge of the block-house at Maquoit in 1714. If the fore- going statement is correct, he must have returned to Ireland again, as he certainly left the latter country in 1718, as is shown by the follow- ing copy 1 of a petition of James Woodside to the king, 25th June, 1723. : -
"TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCEL : -
"THE HUMBLE MEMORIAL & PETITION OF JAMES WOODSIDE, LATE MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL AT BRUNSWICK IN NEW ENGLAND
"SHEWETH,
" That he with 40 Familys, consisting of above 160 persons did in the year 1718 embarque on a ship at Derry Lough, in Ireland, in order to Erect a Colony at Casco Bay, in your Maj'tys Province of Main in New England.
" That being arrived they made a settlement at a place called by the Indians Pejipscot, but by them Brunswick, within 4 miles from Fort George, where (after he had laid out a considerable sum upon a Garrison House, fortifyed with Palisadoes & two large Bastions, had also made great improvements & laid out considerably for the benefit of that Infant Colony) the Inhabitants were surprized by the Indians who in the month of July 1722 came down in great numbers to mur- der your Majesty's good subjects there.
" That upon this surprise the Inhabitants naked & destitute of pro- visions run for shelter into your Pet'rs House (which is still defended by his sons) where they were kindly received, provided for & pro- tected from the Rebel Indians.

" That the sd. Indians being happily prevented from murdering your Majesty's good subjects (in revenge to your Pet'r) presently kill'd all his Cattel, destroying all the moveables & provisions they could come at, & as your Pet'r had a very considerable stock of Cattel he & his family were great sufferers thereby, as may appear by a Cer- tificate of the Governour of that Province, a copy whereof is hereunto annexed. Your Pet'r therefore most humbly begs that, in regard to · his great undertaking, his great losses & sufferings, the service done to the publick in saving the lives of many of Your Maj'tys subjects, the unshaken loyalty & undaunted courage of his sons, who still defend the sd. Garrison, Your Majesty in Councel will be pleased to provide for him, his Wife & Daughter, here, or grant him the post of Mr. Cummins, a searcher of ships in the Harbour of Boston, N. England, lately deceas'd, so that his family reduc'd to very low cir- cumstances may be resettled & his losses repair'd where they were sustain'd.
" & Your Pet'r shall ever pray &c.
" I do hereby certifie that the Rev'd Mr. Woodside went over from Ireland to New England with a considerable number of people, that he & they sate down to plant in a place called Brunswick in the East- ern Parts of New England, where he built a Garrison House, which was the means of saving the lives of many of his people in the late Insurrection of the Indians in July last. That his generosity is taken notice of by both Doctors Mathers & that the Indians cutt off all his Cattle, whereby he & his family are great sufferers.

" SAMUEL SHUTE.
In 1719 the proprietors united with the inhabitants, and in a joint letter invited him to preach six months on probation. The proprietors also provided that the house of Mr Baxter should be made habitable for Mr. Woodside. This house 'was on lot number six, on the south- east corner of Maine and Green Streets. During his period of probation Mr. Woodside did not give perfect satisfaction, although he had some strong friends. At the expiration of the six months, how- ever, the town voted " to continue him the same length of time again, provided those who were dissatisfied with his conversation can, by treating him as becomes Christians, receive such satisfaction from him as that they will hear him preach." The majority of the settlers were opposed to him, however, and he only preached three months longer,

not being, it is said, puritanical enough. IIe returned to England soon after leaving this town, and it is thought that his son James fol- lowed him. Soon after his return he sent his portrait over to his son William. It bears date "1726, by Gibson." Mr. Woodside corre- sponded with his son William for some years afterwards, though the latest date is now unknown, as is also (to the writer) the date of his death.
WOODSIDE, CAPTAIN WILLIAM.
Captain Woodside obtained command of the Block House at Maquoit in 1714, according to one account, but not until 1726 according to another statement.1 He was commissioned as lieutenant, but after- wards was made a captain. He bought a lot on what is called Whar- ton's Point, from its original owner, Thomas Wharton. He afterwards purchased the first of the regular lots laid out by the proprietors, towards the falls.
He was a large, well-built, though somewhat corpulent, stout, active, and energetic man. The Indians, it is said, stood in fear of him. He was a trader with the Indians, and, it is alleged, usually got the best of a bargain with them.
Esquire Woodside, as he was usually called, was with the expedi- tion to Louisburg in 1750. He received a commission as chaplain from Lord Loudoun. There are many anecdotes concerning him, which are current to this day. He had a number of encounters with the Indians, but always managed to escape, and sometimes inflicted a severe punishment upon those who attempted to molest lim. He wore, as was the fashion at that time, a large three-cornered hat.
" Early one Sunday morning he went, against the remonstrance of a number in the garrison, to a turnip-yard which he had a short dis- tance north from his house, on the road. The people in the garrison were suspicious that there were Indians about, because the dogs had been barking all night. When he got to the turnip-yard he put his hand on the fence and jumped over, and there were a number of In- dians concealed under the fence upon the lookout for him. He got back over the fence as quick as he could. The Indians pursued him, but he outran them, and when they found they could not catch him they fired at him, but his life was preserved while he received two or three balls through his hat.
" Another time, when the Indians appeared friendly, he went into the wood to cut timber. Darkness overtook him before his return. When

he arrived near home he came upon some Indians by surprise. They professed to be very glad to see him, and tried to detain him so ear- nestly that he was suspicious that there was some mischief going on. He went to the garrison and found all well. He then went to his barn and there found an Indian setting fire to his hay-mow. He caught him, gave him many severe blows on the side of the head with his fist, and left him, as he supposed, dead. In the morning he went out, and found that by some means he had been taken away." 1
Captain Woodside died in 1764. His will was written by Master George Harwood, and his son-in-law, Deacon Samuel Stanwood, was the executor.

CHAPTER II.
FAMILY HISTORIES.
EXPLANATORY NOTE.
IN the following pages will be found a brief account of the origin and settlement here of some of the older families of these towns.
Nothing further than this has been attempted. To bring the gene- alogy of so many families down to the present generation would involve a vast amount of labor, and would, of itself, make a volume. For the same reason it has been found necessary to limit the number of fami- lies mentioned by including those only who settled somewhere in these towns prior to the year 1800, and whose descendants are still living in this immediate vicinity. The list of families mentioned does not, how- ever, include all who came here previous to 1800, as there are some such families concerning which sufficient information could not be obtained without the devotion of more time and labor to the work than the authors could afford. In some cases the omission is due to the fact that members of the family, to whom application for information was made, have failed to make any response to the request.
The following abbreviations are used : -
abt. - about. b. - born. d. - died.
dau. - daughter. m. - married.
s. - single.
ch. - child or children.

ANDERSON.
According to traditionary accounts, JACOB ANDERSON came from Dungan- non, the home of the O'Neils, in Ulster County, of Tyrone, Ireland. He emigrated to this country somewhere about the year 1710. He settled for a short time near Old Orchard, but soon moved to that portion of Freeport known as Flying Point. He built a block-house there and became a farmer, and somewhat noted Indian fighter during the French war. The Cumberland Registry of Deeds shows the sale to him of portions of the Dummer claim

in (then) North Yarmouth, and the adjacent islands1 off Flying Point by Jere Powell, Epes Sargent, Timothy Prout, and Abraham Pettengill, at various dates from March, 1759, to March, 1764.
JACOB ANDERSON, son of the above Jacob, was b. in Freeport. He left there to join Washington's army at Cambridge the next morning after the news of the battle of Lexington reached Maine. After the close of the war of the Revolution, he removed to Brunswick, and cleared a farm lying between the Woodside and Ross farms, on the main road from Brunswick to Freeport. His son, Martin Anderson, was born on the farm above mentioned in 1789. Subsequently to 1812 he removed to Freeport, and from there to Bath. He died at the house of his son, Reverend M. B. Anderson, D. D., Rochester, N. Y., Dec., 7, 1875.
BABBIDGE OR BARBIDGE.
JAMES BARBIDGE, Or BABBIDGE, a husbandman residing at North Yarmoutlı,. was born about 1697, at Uffculme, Devonshire, England, and was a son of James and Prudence Babbidge, whose other children were a dau., Tampson, who m. John Brumfield, and sons Peter, Courtney, and William. (From "Dep- osition of James Barbidge, of North Yarmouth, Maine, 1730.) (N. E. H. & G. Reg. Vol. 13.)
The Harpswell town records contain the record of the death of a James Babbidge, August 11, 1764, aged 78. He was therefore born 1686. It is not improbable that he is the James alluded to as having been born in 1697, and that a mistake has been made in one or the other statement.
