Hart Williams was one of the most prominent men of his day, in the town of Gorham. In 1764, in consideration of his having per- formed the duties enjoined by the General Court's Act in clearing and settling land, he received from Moses Pearson a deed of the right, No. 111. On the thirty acre lot, 111, belonging to this right, he made his home till his death. The house in which he lived is still standing, opposite to the Byron Coburn place. He was a cor- poral in 1757 in Capt. Joseph Woodman's company, in the Northern Army, during one of the French wars. At the breaking out of the Revolution he was in command of a company of Gorham militia, and when the news of the battle of Lexington reached Falmouth, April 21, 1775, started to march his company to Boston, but after reaching Wells, received orders to return home. On the 24th of April, Capt. Williams and his entire company enlisted in Col. Phinney's 31st
