CHAPTER VIII Wars
During the days preceding the Revolution and during the Revolution, the British realized that they suffered considerable losses from the American cruisers and privateers in the waters of the Penobscot River and Bay. The shipmasters knew every cove and harbor and they were able to reach them in safety under any conditions.
The people of this locality, almost without exception, were in sympathy with the cause of the colonies. The life of the local settlers was made perilous and difficult when the British occupied Castine and used that town as a base for carrying out skirmishes against the surrounding countryside. The British sailed up the Penobscot River and fired their cannon at the settlement in Sandy Point. The settlers fled to the woods back from the shore, taking with them their most prized household things. Many of the articles were hidden in the bushes and some things were hidden behind Split Rock which still stands on the property recently owned by Harry Bauman. The beau- tiful grandfather clock, owned by Henry Black, was hidden in a well on the Bauman property.
The British landed in Sandy Point and stayed all night in the Henry Black cabin. The next morning they burned the cabin, then sailed up the river. A short time after this event, the Blacks built a new home in the field below what is now Earl Dow's house.
In the summer of 1775, twelve British prisoners of war were brought to Sandy Point and turned over to Captain Shute and Mr. Black who took them to Belfast. The prisoners had been captured somewhere east of here and passed along from town
153
to town. Two men escorted them from one settlement to an- other where a new group took over and escorted them to the next settlement. This was repeated until finally they were delivered at the Colonial Headquarters in Boston, Massa- chusetts.
The following men were mentioned in old records as having served in the Revolutionary War: Hatevil Colcon, Henry Black, Joseph P. Martin, Benjamin Shute, Isaac Clewley, Jacob Clifford, Stephen Littlefield and Robert Hichborn.
At the close of the Revolutionary War there were twenty- three families in the locality.
The following is a list of the men from Stockton Springs who served in the Civil War: Simeon F. Barrett, Riley Barrett; James F. Barrett, Andrew D. Black, Franklin Berry, James H. Berry, Nathan M. Berry, Thomas S. Blanchard, Albert Crock- ett, Leander Crockett, Orrin B. Crocker, Joel Conno, Andrew J. Crooker, James S. Crooker, John L. Crooker, Fred O. Clif- ford, Oscar Colson, William A.

Treat, Chandler Webb, Chandler J. Webb, Charles C. Ward and John A. Whitney.
Those who served in the U. S. Navy were: Samuel Clifford, Orrin Crooker, Richard C. Dow, Matthew W. Ellis, Wilbert M. Ellis, Joseph Griffin, Charles Johnson, Horace Littlefield, Edwin L. Roberts, Sumner Sanborn, Robert Turner, and Sim- eon Littlefield.
All of these men enlisted as privates but several were pro- moted during the course of the war.
William S. Mudgett passed through several ranks until he was made a colonel. At the close of the war, he was made Military Governor of Louisiana, and given the brevet rank of General. His brother, Lewis Parker Mudgett, after command- ing a company, was promoted to Major and died from a bullet in the forehead, as he led his regiment in a charge upon the forts at Mobile. His Colonel and Lt. Colonel were unfit for duty so he led his regiment. William Griffin was promoted to Captain of his company for meritorious conduct and bravery. William H. Rogers, after the first battle of Bull Run, January 1862, was transferred to the 6th Battery, Maine Mounted Artillery, and commissioned junior 2nd Lieut. He remained with the 6th Battery until he was mustered out after the close of the war in July 1865. He had by that time risen to the rank of Captain. Elias D. Libby, was promoted several times and at the close of the war held the rank of 1st Lieut. Daniel L. Dickey was elected as Captain of his company soon after he joined the army. Both Robert H. Grey and Freeman Goodhue held the rank of 1st Lieut. at the end of their enlistments. Cassius C. Roberts was commissioned a Captain. Many others held the rank of Sgt. or Corpl.
155
Hardships were great during the Civil War. Many of the soldiers suffered from severe illnesses from which several died and others were made invalids for life. Still others knew from experience the privations and suffering of the Rebel prisons. Warren F. Griffin, who was captured in the first battle of Bull Run, was in Libby Prison at Richmond, Va., and at the de- tention pen in Gouldsboro, N. C. for ten months. He came home an invalid. His condition was caused by scurvy which eventually caused his death. Wilbert M. Ellis was a prisoner in Andersonville "Hell." The prisoners were cruelly treated and starved. As a form of torture, he was tied out in the hot sun with his mouth held upen by a bridle bit. He returned home to die as the result of the awful tortures.
The armies, in those days, had to forage off the land for food and supplies. They were poorly equipped and it was difficult for supplies to reach them. They slept on the ground where- ever they found a chance. Malaria was a common disease among the troops. Many suffered for the rest of their lives from the effects of this disease.
In 1862, the people of Stockton voted to raise money to give relief, if necessary, to the families of the men who volunteered for service in the Civil War. They also voted to pay each vol- unteer $100. In September of 1862, the town raised the amount of $2400 to pay twenty-four volunteers. In 1865, $300 was paid by the town for men who were drafted.
The good ladies of Stockton did their part to aid the Union cause. They organized a Soldiers' Aid Society, February 5, 1863. Names of the members were: Mrs. Alexander Griffin, Mrs. Henry McGilvery, Mrs. Nancy Morton, Mrs. James Partridge, Mrs. Ralph Morse, Mrs. E. S.

Brown, Miss Julia Staples, Miss Mary Abbie Farn- ham, Miss Maria Griffin, Miss Lizzie Staples, and Miss Mary E. Grant.
The Soldiers' Aid Society met every Thursday afternoon in Cleaves Hall, which was offered by Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Cleaves.
At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Mrs. Alexander Griffin, president; Mrs. N. G. Hichborn, secretary; Mrs. Henry McGilvery, purchasing and soliciting committee; Mrs. Ralph Morse, treasurer; Mrs. Freeman Kelley, Mrs. Peleg Staples, Mrs. Everett Staples, Mrs. Emery Berry, Mrs. Henry McGilvery, Mrs. B. M. Roberts, Mrs. Isaac Lampher, Mrs. David G. Ames, and Mrs. James Partridge, committee of managers.
The ladies made clothing, bedding and bandages for the soldiers. A quantity of food products and several sizable do- nations of money were raised and sent for the cause.
157
The good work continued until 1865. By that time several boxes had been packed and sent to the U. S. Sanitary Com- mission.
In 1886, there was a Grand Army of the Republic Post in Stockton which was called the Freeman McGilvery Post.
During the Civil War, the Confederate privateers made shipping dangerous and difficult. Stockton ships and shipping suffered. Several captains lost their vessels. One captain who lost his ship was Capt. Everett Staples. Capt. Staples owned a new ship, the Alina, which was named for one of his daughters. The Alina was built in Searsport. A few days out of Liverpool, England, the Alina was seized by the Confederate privateer, Shenandoah. Capt. Staples, his officers and crew were made prisoners. The Alina was scuttled with all sails set.
