Having now followed the stream of events in Thomaston's history, so far as we have been able to catch glimpses of them through the lessening vista of years, from the time when English feet first stepped upon its sod, in 1605, down to 1860, the labor might well be brought to a close as originally in- tended. But the stirring events of the great rebellion which has since supervened, and the strong interest felt for the brave men who have volunteered and risked their all in the contest, have induced me to add, as an appendix, such incidents as have come to my knowledge so far as this town is concerned.
As soon as the result of the presidential election of 1860 was made known, and the clouds of rebellion in the southern horizon were fast gathering into a storm, Thomaston vessels, in common with others, began to experience difficulties in southern ports. Among others, the ship Wm. Singer, which arrived at New Orleans October 27th, was not allowed,

although freights were. in demand and constantly rising, to obtain a freight, (on account of her being named for and in part owned by Hon. William Singer, a leading republican of this place,) until January 18th; by which time other owners had made known their own counter political leanings. In April, 1861, the schoooner Gen. Knox, owned by Stetson, Gerry & Sherman of this place, together with her cargo of ship-timber, as well as those of two other vessels which they had freighted with timber, and the teams and implements used by them for lumbering, to the value of $19,000, were seized on the Pamunky River, Va., cannon placed on board, the secession flag hoisted, the men ordered to leave and af- terwards placed under guard, but obtaining a pass out of the State, finally made their escape with some annoying interrup- tions. In August, 1864, the new barque Glen Avon, Capt. Watts, owned one-quarter by the master and the rest by Bur- gess, O'Brien & Co., of this town, on her passage from Glas- gow with a cargo of iron, was captured and burnt by the rebel privateer Tallahassee; and, though few other Thomas- ton vessels have thus suffered, vet the danger apprehended from these piratical cruisers, has caused a great diminution, by sale, of the shipping of the town.
The first of the citizens of Thomaston who was called to decide for himself and take an actual stand on one side or the other of the momentous conflict for the Union and laws of our country, was Lieut. Jeremiah H. Gilman. This gentle- man, a graduate of West Point, had entered the U. S. army, and, at the outbreak in January, 1861, found himself as sec- ond in command with Lieut. Slemmer, intrusted with the defence of Forts Pickens, Barrancas, and McRae, with a gar- rison of only 51 men. With the additional aid of 30 ordi- nary seamen obtained from the commander of the navy-yard, these gallant officers selected Fort Pickens for its strength and defensibility, and, removing the stores and ammunition from the other two by working five days and nights inces- santly, and with little sleep and scarcely a regular meal for 12 days, succeeded in holding the fort against from 1400 to 1700 rebels, and continued to keep the old flag flying until the arrival of reinforcements under the succeeding adminis- tration. Continuing a career thus nobly begun, Lieut. Gil- man, after a short visit to recruit his health at his father's residence here, rose in June 1861, to the rank of Captain in the U. S. 19th regiment, afterwards, to that of Major, and, in June, 1862, was selected by Gov. Johnson to take com- mand of the first Tennessee regiment.

HISTORY OF THOMASTON,
But when, on the 14th April, 1861, a government fortress was attacked and the nation's flag trailed in the dust in the harbor of Charleston, S. C., and still more when, on the 19th, Massachusetts volunteers were fired upon in the streets of Baltimore, the lingering embers of patriotism suddenly burst into a flame. With few exceptions, considerate men began to see the necessity of one great united effort to crush the rebellion and sustain the Union. The star-spangled banner was hoisted in various parts of the town; $1300 were imme- dately subscribed for the families of volunteers; and the town voted June 8th that the selectmen make suitable provision for the same purpose; papers were drawn up for the enlist- ment of one volunteer company of riflemen or infantry by E. B. Hinkley, and a battery of flying artillery, the latter through the influence of H. B. Humphrey, who offered to ad- vance the necessary expense for arming the same with four brass field pieces and two howitzers, and in which corps Jona. Prince Cilley was the first to enlist; Dr. M. R. Ludwig ten- tered his professional services gratis to all such families in Thomaston as furnish one volunteer for our country's service, and $100 to each of the families of the first ten volunteers who should lose their lives during the time of their enlist- ment; and A. P. Gould, the town's democratic representa- tive, immediately on the opening of the legislature introduced a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, pledging the whole resources of the State to the vigorous support of fed- eral authority.
'The proposed rifle company not having succeeded, how- ever, and the battery of artillery not being accepted, several volunteers of this town enlisted anew in the Rockland, Wis- casset, or other companies of the 4th Maine regiment which left Rockland for Washington on the 17th of June, 1861. Among these was Nat. A. Robbins, a graduate of Bowdoin, who, after having taken charge for a time of the Thomaston academy and Rockland high school, had been admitted to the bar the preceding October and entered the practice of law here; but who could not be deterred by the earnest entreaties of his parents from flying to the defence of the Union, and enlisted as a private in the Wiscasset company; whose for- tunes he has since shared, being promoted to quartermaster sergeant, acting as occasional correspondent to the Rockland Free Press, till in 1863 he was appointed lieutenant of the company, in which capacity he was wounded at Chancellors- ville and taken prisoner at Gettysburg. The Wiscasset com- pany was probably chosen on account of its being commanded

by his friend, another young lawyer and graduate of Bowdoin, Edwin M. Smith, who commenced the practice of law in this place but relinquished his office and library to J. P. Cilley, and, after a short visit to Europe, entered on that career of bravery and good conduct which raised his name high on the roll of patriots, and terminated in his death at the battle of . Fair Oaks, May 31, 1862.
Moved by the same patriotic impulse, there also enlisted from this town in company B, Dana Y. Dow, wounded in May, 1864, after participating in all the three-years glorious service of the regiment; Zipha S. Keith, accidentally drown- ed in Virginia, after a year's honorable service ; and George M. Redlon, who became a corporal, lost an arm at the severe engagement of Sept. 1, 1862, near Centreville, and, after lin- gering till near the end of October, died in a hospital at Wash- ington, his remains being brought home and buried on Sun- day, Nov. 2d, with military honors and peculiar sorrow by those acquainted with his worth ; - in company C., Charles A. Rollins, lieutenant, promoted to captain, resigned January 7, 1863 ; James M. Brown, corporal, returned to ranks at his own request, captured at Gettysburg; James Ballcom, wag- oner; Warren W. Austin, corporal, promoted to sergeant, wounded in battle May 5th, 1864, and probably bled to death, two days later, on his journey to the hospital; Ephraim K. Butler, prisoner at Richmond; Rufus O. Fales, wounded at Fredericksburg, promoted to corporal, prisoner at Richmond; H. C. Liscomb, wounded in side at Fredericksburg, Decem- ber 13, 1862, discharged January 19, 1863; Benjamin F. Palmer, wounded May, 1864; Thomas Lowe, who, at nearly sixty years of age, shouldered his musket in his country's defence and has since received a pension for injuries re- ceived in the service; and Henry P. Tilson, who, admired by many for his talents, and endeared to all by his virtues, left his studies at Readfield seminary from a sense of duty to his country, had both of his legs shot off in the first battle of Bull Run, took his diary from his pocket, and, asking a fellow soldier to send it home, cheered his comrades on with a few words, and expired ; - in company E, Thomas B. Campbell, sergeant ; James H. Thomas, who has since died in a Virginia hospital; Emerson F. Fales, discharged for disability, 1862 ; Samuel N. Fales, captured Dec. 13, 1862, wounded May, 1864; and Wm. M. Hathorn ; in company I, George A. Millay, transferred to 38th New York regiment ; in company K, Wm. Feyler, discharged for disability ; . Geo. L. Feyler; and Daniel H. Adams, who rose rapidly to cap-

tain, but came.home sick and died of chronic diarrhea, in Bel- fast, 1863; in company H, Alfred Blackington ; and Daniel S. Clough, who, after being transferred to the 38th New York regiment, company A, died at Falmouth, Va., February 9, 1868, of whom his captain wrote home his great regret that one so good, true, and faithful should have fallen by disease and not been spared to defend the cause he loved so well ; . and in company D, A. J. Millay, Bull Run prisoner at Rich- mond, wounded May 8, 1864; and Geo. Roscoe Abbott, who, though of slender form and juvenile appearance, vied with the bravest in the battle of Bull Run, where, as a letter writer said of him at the time, he "was in the thickest of the fight ; his company suffered more than any other, and he was knocked over by a cannon ball plowing the ground under his feet as he was carrying off the wounded." He has since been slightly wounded at Fredericsburg and advanced to a captaincy for meritorious conduct.
In September of the same year, 1861, J. P. Cilley, another young lawyer, just established in business here, no unworthy member of a family distinguished for bravery and public spirit, relinquished his law business to L. Hill, Esq., and commenced recruiting a volunteer company of cavalry, which was soon filled, and, having chosen Cilley for captain, joined the First Regiment of Cavalry, at Augusta, of which Samuel H. Allen, deputy collector of customs at this place, was, Oct. 21st, appointed major, and in March, 1862, colonel. Besides Capt. Cilley, this town furnished the following members of this Company B : Elbridge Burton, corporal, promoted to commissary sergeant ; Jacob B. Loring, promoted to orderly sergeant ; N. B. Catland, promoted to corporal, captured May 2, 1863, paroled, and died June 12th ; Alfred C. Strout, pro- moted to corporal and sergeant ; Alonzo Perkins, who died of fever a year after, while at home on furlough; Edwin R. Robbins, sergeant, discharged for disability ; Moses R. Buck- land, Andrew W. Colamore, and Abner B. Thomas, all dis- charged for disability ; Jas. D. Cole, promoted to corporal, left the service July 21, 1862 ; Jas. P. Edgarton, discharged; Albion D. Palmer, discharged ; Oliver J. Copeland, discharged for disability Oct. 14th, 1862; Martin Carr; Barton G. Per- kins, promoted to sergeant, captured May 2, 1863, exchanged ; Fenelon M. Fales, captured May 2, 1863, exchanged ; Eugene Monk, discharged for disability, re-enlisted in Me. 21st, and transferred to Co. I; Henry A. Willis, promoted to corporal; Leonard K. Fales, puisoner May 2, 1863, exchanged ; Benj. Rhines, discharged or deceased ; and Edward Cornell. This

regiment of Maine cavalry, on its arrival in Virginia, was de- tached,-one battalion to Warrenton Junction, and the other, including Co B, up the Potomac and Harper's Ferry. In the unexpected attack upon Gen. Banks' army, and his well conducted retreat from Winchester, May 25th, the cavalry found itself in a perilous situation at Middletown; but Cilley's company (B), of which he was still in command, though then recently appointed major, made its escape with less disorder and loss than most of the others; and Major Cilley, left in the hands of the enemy with his right arm shattered near the shoulder by an exploding shell, was almost the only sufferer. He survived, however ; while recovering, held the office of Provost Marshal of Washington, but soon returned to his command in the field ; has since risen in rank to Lt. colonel, and been again wounded in 1864. In Nov., 1862, this reg- iment became so depleted by hard service that it had to be recruited and re-organized, Col. Allen being retained as Pro- vost Marshal at Frederick, Md., and resigning on account of ill health, in the following January. Since then, the reg- iment has participated in the gallant exploits of Kilpatrick and Pleasanton, and has made its mark at Brandy Station, Al- die, Gettysburg, and most of the other battle fields in Virginia.
Several young men of this town also enlisted in the Second Mounted Battery of Maine Volunteers; among whom, were Albert F. Thomas, quartermaster sergeant, since promoted to captain, and having at one time during the siege of Peters- burg, in 1864, three batteries under his command ; Benjamin F. Carr, 3d sergeant, promoted to 1st lieutenant ; Munroe Durgin, 2d corporal, promoted to sergeant, discharged for dis- ability ; Chas. H. Gloyd, corporal, discharged June 12, 1862; Ezekiel Frank Demuth, musician ; James Brennan, left the service June 24, 1862 ; Adner A. Fales ; Wm. T. Gould, discharged March 20, 1862; Geo. R. Gleason; Wm. Gray ; Thos. Morse ; Henry Nichols, and Joseph Oliver.
In July, 1862, Bartlett Jackson of this place, treasurer of Knox county, was authorized to enlist a company for the 19th Maine regiment, but. failing to secure the requisite number, allowed his recruits to unite with those enlisted by Lysander Hill, another young lawyer of promise in the place. To avoid the inconvenience and dissatisfaction arising from a draft under the President's call of July, 1862, the town voted on the 26th, to pay $100 each to all volunteers who should supply the town quota, and to borrow $4000 for that purpose. These were enlisted and went with others to form Company I, 20th Maine Regiment; mustered into the U. S. service

August 29th, 1862; and of which Mr. Hill, before named, received a commission as captain. Those of them belonging to this town were, L. Hill, captain, who, after the battle of Antietam, was obliged, by ill health, to resign, was discharged Feb. 6, 1868, and has since resumed his profession in Alexan -; dria, Va .; Samuel T. Keene, another young member of the bar here, 1st lieutenant, promoted to captain of company F, and then to Major, - his commission not reaching him, how- ever, till after June 22d, 1864, when, as he turned from see- ing that one of his wounded men was properly cared for, a ball pierced his heart, and he fell into the arms of Maj. Ellis Spear, exclaiming "write to my wife; it is all well; I die for my country"; Wm. K. Bickford, sergeant, promoted to lieutenant ; Hezekiah Long, promoted to 1st sergeant, com- pany F; Albert W. Tenny, one of the dentists of this place, since detailed on hospital duty ; Lorenzo Redman detained at division headquarters; Geo. A. Moody, promoted to cor- poral, discharged for disability, January 10, 1863; Ambrose Whitcomb, detailed as wagoner; Henry D. Brown, sick in · Maryland; John D. Morse, promoted to corporal; Wm. F. Wight, discharged January 10, 1863 ; Geo. Sterling ; Hor- ace Munroe, detained at division headquarters ; Austin Fer- rand ; Reuel Thomas, promoted to sergeant, wounded in the face, May 1864; Henry H. O'Brien, discharged for disability, December 27, 1862; and Theodore Roosen, detained at brig- ade headquarters. The distinguished services of this regiment under Cols. Ames and Chamberlain, and on some occasions, in absence of the colonel, under Maj. Ellis Spear, have been witnessed at Gettysburg, where, on the extreme left, it with- stood the utmost fury of the rebels, and, after their repulse, charged upon them in turn, routed them, and took over 300 prisoners, -again charging by order of Gen. Sykes, and driving them from a hill on the front and left; as also at Sharpsburg Pike, Bristow and Rappahannock Stations, as well as in the later engagements around Petersburg and Richmond.
The second quota of 60 nine-months's men were raised in a similar manner; the town voting at a meeting called for the purpose Aug. 18, 1862, to pay $100 to each volunteer sub- stitute, and to obtain a loan of $1500 at 6 per cent. interest. In consequence of the large number of absentees at sea and otherwise, it was found difficult to fill up the quota, and an additional $100 was made up to each by voluntary subscrip. tions. The quotas of this town and St. George were joined to form Company G, 21st Me. regiment; and those of them

which belonged to this town were Marcus L. Hewett, cap- tain; Leroy Copeland, lieutenant; Daniel Palmer, sergeant; Francis.O. Perkins, sergeant, died Feb. 28, 1863; Elisha M. Snow, sergeant, killed accidentally Nov. 15, 1862; Richard Flanigan, corporal, promoted to sergeant: Archibald McCa- horn, promoted to corporal, wounded May 27, 1863; John B. Grant ; Wm. L. Hatch; Harvey S. Comery. promoted to corporal ; Richard C. Dinsmore ; Jas. H. Boggs ; George C. Knowles; John Bowman; Sylvester J. Fales; Horace H. Gay, wounded in action May 27, 1863; Wm. F. Gay, promoted to corporal; Leander Woodcock, re-enlisted in 2d Cavalry Dec. 10, 1863; Archelaus Woodman, killed in action May 27, 1863 ; and Thos. Bremigion, not accounted for in Adjutant General's report. These left with the rest of the quota for Augusta, Sept. 13th, in fine spirits, with three cheers for the Union, three for R. Tinker, at whose residence a sumptuous parting collation was given them, and three for the ladies who had prepared it, officiated at the table, and busied themselves in preparing rations of cake and other delicacies for the jour- ney. Not long after its departure, this company and the community here, were deeply moved by the sudden death of Sergeant Snow, at East New York, from the accidental dis- charge of a pistol in the hands of his commander, Capt. Hewett. He had just returned to the officers' quarters from an evening prayer meeting in which as usual he had taken an active part. He was of a tall and commanding form, had left a good business in the South when the Rebellion arose, and by his serious and blameless character had endeared him- self to the community here, especially to the Sons of Tem- perance, over which order in Knox county he was the pre- siding officer. His funeral was publicly celebrated, Nov. 19th, at the 2d Baptist church, and an appropriate discourse preached by Rev. Mr. Orton of the Congregational church. This company was mustered in, Oct. 13, 1862; and, after good and valiant service with the rest of the regiment under Gen. Banks at Port Hudson plains, and especially before the fortifications, where, although their term of service had ex- pired, they volunteered to remain till the place was taken, - the company returned here in August, 1863, having passed over in their various routes more than 4000 miles.
.
On the third call for 300,000 additional men by draft, in July, 1863, this town voted to pay cach man drafted $300, for commutation or a substitute ; and, of the 71 required of this town, with Matinicus Island and Muscle Ridge, four fur- nished substitutes, 25 paid commutation, 15 were exempted

for physical disability, age, &c., three furnished substitutes for three years under the former call, and 24 failed to report themselves. On the fourth call for 300,000 volunteers before the 5th of Jan., 1864, a similar bounty was voted, and the quota readily filled up, but mostly by citizens of vihier places. There enlisted, however, from this town, Edmund F. Gal- lagher, Co. B, Richard Sterling, Co. K, of the 30th Me. reg- iment ; Edward C. Andrews, farrier, of 2d Me. cavalry ; Leander Woodcock, Co. E, 2d Me. cavalry ; John Leroy Fales, Edward W. Lermond, and Given B. Wallace, in the 1st regiment of D. C. cavalry.

Of the vessels of the United States navy, one gunboat, the Kennebec, was built by John Hilt of this town, under Geo. W. Lawrence of Warren, contractor. She was launched from the yard of R. Jacobs, in this place, Oct. 5, 1861, in presence of a large number of spectators, notwithstanding the rain, and, after receiving her boiler, engine, and other ma- chinery, proceeded under steam down the river on the morn- ing of Dec. 14th, arriving at Boston the 15th, to be armed and manned at the Charlestown navy yard.
In the mean time the ladies of Thomaston, though for a time at least the number of its soldiers was not large, have not remained insensible to the wants, sufferings, and priva- tions of the brave defenders of the government, laws, and in- stitutions of the country. By their industry and generous ex- ertions, contributions from time to time have been made to the Sanitary Commission and hospital stores; and, up to Sept., 1862, not less than six boxes had been sent on, con- taining 159 sheets, 13 blankets, 4 quilts, 18 bed-sacks, 14 hair and feather pillows, 64 pillow cases and ticks, 264 shirts, 241 pairs of drawers, 214 pairs hose, 158 pairs slippers, 16 pairs mittens, 36 dressing gowns, 261 handkerchiefs, 107 towels and napkins, 26 yards flannel, besides uncounted quantities of rolled bandages, lint, tape, soap, tea, sugar, nutmegs, currant and other wines, syrups, jellies, jams, fari- na, bay-rum, sponges, balm-of-gilead, periodicals, and what- ever else could be thought of to alleviate the pain and cheer the weary hours of the sick and wounded. The sum of $475 in money had also been transmitted to the same Commission, and $108 to the Christian Association. Two barrels of sup- plies, also, from the same generous donors, about Sept. 20, 1863, reached the suffering wounded of our cavalry skir- mishes, -saving many that were ready to perish. After the bloody engagements between the armies of Grant and Lee had commenced, in May, 1864, $300 were contributed by the citizens of this town in aid of the wounded, and forwarded to the U. S. Christian Commission by H. B. Humphrey, treasurer.
In addition to these voluntary contributions and the sum of $33,374, paid by the town for soldier's bounties, together with $1,793 furnished to the families of soldiers, the busi- ness and industry of the place have paid to the United States government for the support of its authority, in the year 1862, taxes to the following amount, viz .: for licenses to dealers by retail, 34, at $10 = $340; liquor dealers, 12, at $20 == $240; peddlers, 2, at $15, and 8, at $10 = $110; hotel keepers 2,
