The first carding and cloth-dressing in Exeter was done by John Atkins, who built his clothing mill at East Exeter in 1821-22. This mill was burnt in the winter of 1825, when John Cutler and Horace S. Upham bought the privilege and rebuilt the mill, where they carried on the business extensively for several years. Mr. Upham died in Exeter in the fall of 1841, and Mr. Cutler in Bangor February 9, 1862. His son, John L. Cutler, is now one of the prominent business men in Bangor. He was born in Exeter, March 9, 1829, where he still re- tains an interest in- the mills, long known as Cutler's Mills, at East Exeter.

MILITARY HISTORY.

The history of the old Militia Company of Exeter, embracing, at last, within its limits, only the north half of the town, commences at an early period in the annals of the county, and continues down to about the year 1843-44, when, by act of legislation, all the ununiformed militia of the State was exempted from active duty, "ex- cept in case of insurrection, war, invasion, or to prevent invasion." We find, indeed, that this was the oldest military company within the limits of the present county of Penobscot, being a perpetuation of the original com- pany organized on the Penobscot River, in 1776. After the breaking out of the Revolution, in 1775, the Provin- cial Congress of Massachusetts lost no time in securing the Penobscot Indians in the interest of the Colonies. Accordingly Captain John Lane was sent by the Provin- cial Congress to raise a company from the Penobscots to join in the war.

The result was that in 1776 a company, consisting of twenty white men and ten Indians, was organized, and one Andrew Gilman, who was then living among the In- dians and understood their language, was made Com- manding Lieutenant, and Joseph Mansall (afterwards captain of the company) orderly sergeant.

"This was the first military organization, and a rude fort, at the angle of the roads just above Mt. Hope, was their headquarters. They acted as rangers until the British occupied 'Bagaduce,' or Castine, in 1779."*

About this time the company was under the command of Captain Smith.t In 1800 that company, then em- bracing Bangor and a territory called "Kenduskeag," which now composes the towns of Glenburn, Levant, Corinth, Charleston, Exeter, etc., was commanded by Captain Edward Wilkins, who then resided in what is now the town of Charleston. In 1802 the company was divided, a new company being organized in Bangor, and

Timothy. Crosby was elected captain, Wilkins still com- manding the old company.

On the 21st day of October, 1805, Wilkins resigned, and Elisha Mayhew (then living on the old "Leavitt place" in Levant, opposite the "Oakman homestead" in Corinth), was elected captain, Isaac Hodsdon, lieutenant, and Samuel Grant, ensign. In 1806 Elijah Skinner, of Corinth, was chosen ensign, vice Grant, removed.

Mayhew's company embraced the present towns of Levant, Corinth, Exeter, and Stetson.

In December, 1810, Captain Mayhew was elected Colonel of a regiment, and left Hodsdon in command of the company. In March, 1811, Hodsdon was ap- pointed Adjutant, but still held his command of the com- pany.

On Tuesday, April 30, 1811, Josiah Barker, of Exeter, was chosen captain, and on the first Tuesday of May, 1811, there was a "training " at his house, this being the first " militia training " in Exeter.

In August, 1811, a new company was formed in Cor- inth and Levant, of which Reuben Ball, of Corinth, was elected captain, leaving Barker in command of the old company, composed of Exeter and Stetson, and of which Nathaniel Ingalls, of Stetson, was orderly ser- geant and clerk.

In 1816 a new company was organized in Stetson, of which John Lakin was chosen captain, leaving Barker still in command of the old company. After the forma- tion of this new company in Stetson, Winthrop Chapman was elected lieutenant, and Ira Shepardson ensign of the old company, and John Palmer was appointed orderly sergeant and clerk.

Captain Barker held his commission till 1818, as ap- pears by the following extract from the company rec- ords :

REGIMENTAL ORDERS. CORINTH, Ioth March, 1818.

The company lately commanded by Captain Josiah Barker will meet at Stevens's Mill, in Exeter, on Friday, the 20th instant, at one of the clock P. M., to elect a captain in lieu of Captain Josiah Barker, who is honorably discharged at his own request, and to fill any vacancy that (may) happen by said choice.

By order of the Colonel, GEORGE SIMPSON, Adjutant of Fourth Regiment. To Ensign Ira Shepardson, Exeter.

A true copy, attest, JOHN PALMER, Clerk,

On the 20th day of March, 1818, Ira Shepardson was elected captain and Joseph Tibbetts ensign. Chapman still held his commission as lieutenant, though super- seded by Shepardson, till July 3, 1819, when Joseph Tibbetts was elected lieutenant, and Francis Hill en- sign.

On the 20th of May, 1822, Lieutenant Joseph Tib- betts was elected captain, Francis Hill lieutenant, and Joshua Atkins ensign.

In 1824 a new company was formed called the Exe- ter South Company, embracing the south half of the town, and of which Stephen B. Chamberlain was elected captain, Sewall Chapman lieutenant, and James Brown ensign. The successors of Chamberlain as captains of the new company were Samuel Currier, Henry Hill, Smith Libby, George W. Hill, and Captain Elijah Crane,

who was in office at the time the militia system was changed by statute enactment, his associates in office be- ing Lieutenant Allen C. Tibbetts and Ensign Nathaniel Barker.

After the division of the company in 1824, the old company made choice of Francis Hill captain, Ham- mon Eastman lieutenant, and John Walker ensign. This was the first choice of officers after the division of the old Exeter company.

On the 20th of February, 1826, Captain Francis Hill was elected lieutenant-colonel, vice Lieutenant-Colonel Philip Greely, deceased; and May 20, 1826, the com- pany elected Hammon Eastman captain, John Walker lieutenant, and Andrew Shaw ensign. On the 16th April, 1829, John Walker was chosen captain, Andrew Shaw lieutenant, and Joshua Palmer ensign. May 12, 1832, Andrew Shaw captain, Joshua Palmer lieutenant; and David F. Hill ensign. August 10, 1833, Joshua Palmer captain, and Isaiah Avery lieutenant, David F. Hill still remaining ensign of the company. July 25, 1835, Isaiah Avery captain, David F. Hill lieutenant, and Samuel Heard, Jr., ensign. May 13, 1837, D. F. Hill having been honorably discharged, Samuel Heard, Jr., was elected lieutenant, and Samuel Osgood, Jr., ensign. Feb- ruary 23, 1839, Osgood having been discharged, Joshua D. Gammon was elected ensign. On the same day a draft was made in the company, by order of Colonel Charles W. Piper, for "minute men,". "to be in readiness any moment called for," to enter upon service in the "Aroostook War;" whereupon the following names were drawn, to wit: Robert Gray, Samuel Roak, David Dins- more, Luther C. Bachelder, and Samuel K. Holt, drafted as privates; William P. Palmer for sergeant, and Charles Berry for fifer. [See Piper's order.] On the 26th Feb- ruary, 1839, four more privates were drafted from the company, viz: Nathaniel H. Shaw, Daniel W. Edgerly, John Kimball, and Ansel Shaw. At the same time a draft was also made in the Exeter South Company, and John Townsend, William Grinnell, Hiram Peavey, Jonathan Peavey, (and perhaps some others) were drafted as privates, and William Pullen for sergeant; he and Na- thaniel Barker standing the draft together, and the two drawing lots, it fell to Pullen to serve.

A company was now raised called the Exeter Volun- teers, being the first that arrived at what is now Fort Fairfield, on the Aroostook River, where they encamped in the snow, and immediately commenced the construc- tion of the fort, which was named in honor of Governor Fairfield, of Maine. The Exeter men in that company were Lorenzo D. Butters, captain; Reuben Butters, Gus- tavus Colbath, Robert Colbath, Jesse Fairbanks, Mace S. Grinnell, Charles B. Grinnell, and J. Warren Pease, privates; and Nathan D. Walker, of the Exeter Cavalry, and William O. Colbath, as teamsters to transport the soldiers and munitions of war from Bangor to headquar- ters.

October 17, 1840, Captain Avery having been promot- ed, Samuel Osgood, Jr., was elected captain of the Exeter North Company, and continued in command as long as the old militia system was in vogue.

HISTORY OF PENOBSCOT COUNTY, MAINE.

From its earliest municipal record down to the pres- ent the citizens of Exeter have ever manifested a laudable military spirit, and have ever been loyal to the country and ready to rally in defense of the dear old flag. In- deed, many of the first settlers of the town had been soldiers under Washington, and thus brought the "spirit of the Revolution" and of independence with them. Among the old patriots of 1776, were Daniel Barker, John Chamberlain, Charles Crosby, Sr., John McLellan, Elias Milliken, and John Oaks, Sr., who had all been in active service.

Mr. Oaks and his interesting "war stories," which he would often relate, even in religious meetings, are still remembered by many of the old citizens of the town. He was born in Harvard, Massachusetts, February 22, 1757, and died in Exeter June 25, 1842, in his eighty- sixth year. He enlisted in the "War of 1776," in the summer of 1775, the year before the Declaration of In- dependence, in which he served his country till its close. He was in the memorable battle of Bennington, besides five other general engagements. He, with two others, was selected by General Washington to go from Long Island to Quebec to learn the movements of the enemy. His father had also been out in the French War, and was engaged with General Wolfe on the plains of Abraham. "Being a skilful mechanic, he was employed to make the coffin in which the brave General Wolfe was buried."*

At the commencement of the War of 1812 the little town of Exeter was only a "yearling," having been incor- porated but a single year. But the "spirit of '76" still animated the sons of the sires; and though wanting in pecuniary resources, the infant town, both in its munici- pal and in its military capacity, was ready to turn out its yearling to Brother Jonathan to lock horns with John Bull, or even to breast the British Lion.

Not less than seven of the early settlers enlisted and served in that war, some of whom were stationed at Ma- chias and Eastport, while others were sent West, and were in the battle of Chatauquay Woods, and afterwards stationed at Stewartstown, on the Canada border, where the late General Isaac Hodsdon was in command.

The names of those who entered the United States service at that time from Exeter were Elisha Crosby, Charles Crosby, Jr., Pickman Chamberlain, Frank Hatch, Samuel Judkins, Samuel Pease, and Clark Pease.

In 1814, when the British fleet ascended the Penob- scot River and took temporary possession of Castine, Hampden, and Bangor, Captain Barker, with his compa- ny, was called out, and ordered to march, post haste, to Hampden, there to join the regiment, in order to prevent the British fleet from capturing the corvette Adams, com- manded by Captain Charles Morris, and then lying at anchor for repairs. But the company, on arriving at the Legro place in Bangor, met Captain Morris and his crew, who had spiked their guns, and then blown up the Adams, and were on their retreat through the woods to Kennebec. Here Captain Barker received countermand- ing orders from General Blake to proceed no further, but to return to Exeter with his company. On their return

*See Hanson's History of Canaan, p. 128.

they were accompanied by Captain Morris and his ship's crew to Exeter, where they remained several days, to " rest and refresh themselves." Of Captain Morris's crew, one was an intelligent sailor named Robbins, who had once been cast away on the coast of Barbary, where he was a long time in captivity, and on his return published a journal of his adventures, which was eagerly read. Rob- bins's Journal was then to be found in most of our social libraries. When Robbins left Exeter he presented Ira Barker, then a boy, with his musket, which was long kept as an heirloom in the family.

The following is a copy of the Muster Roll of the Exeter Company, in 1817, soon after the close of the war:

LEE.

DESCRIPTIVE.

The town of Lee is not quite thirty three miles from Bangor, but three and a half miles from the Penobscot River at its nearest point along the northeast line of Lin- coln, and a little less from the European & North American Railroad. It is on the stage-route from Lin- coln Station, on that road, through the heart of the town to Topsfield in Washington county. It is in among towns and plantations that are still rather sparsely settled, but has itself a quite respectable population, in 1870 number- ing almost one thousand. It is a regular six-mile-square township, containing about thirty-six square miles, or 23,040 acres. On the north it is bounded by Winn, on the east by Springfield, on the south by Township No. 3, in the First Range, and on the west by Lincoln. Web- ster Plantation corners with it at the northeast, Lakeville Plantation at the southeast, and Burlington at the southwest. For the northwest corner the dividing line between Winn and Lincoln runs off to the Pe- nobscot.

The principal water of Lee is the Mattakeunk Pond,

a fine sheet west of Lee post-office, lying somewhat in the shape of a isosceles triangle, with its base at the westward one and one-fifth miles long, and its perpendic- ular from the middle of this shore to the outlet about the same length. It has an area of one and one-half square miles. At the northwest angle a winding tribu- tary of about two miles length flows in from the border of Lincoln. From the interior of that town comes a larger stream, but with a shorter flow in this town, which enters the pond about one-third of the way down its west shore. The waters of Mattakeunk make their way through a pretty broad outlet into and through Lee vil- lage, where they form the Mattakeunk Stream, known beyond East Winn post-office as the West Branch, which, after union with the East Branch, becomes again the Mattakeunk Stream, and flows into the Mattawamkeag River near the north line of Winn. The banks of this stream, for a mile, more or less, in width on each side for about four miles of its course in this town, are almost the only parts of Lee that are uninhabited.
