TRICKEY
The earliest known ancestor of this family was Francis Triekey, who was at Kittery, Me., before 1659. He had a wife, whose name was Sarah and a son, John. He died before Apr. 11, 1682, as, on that date, an inventory of his estate was made, the amount of which was £99, 7 shillings. The inventory may be found in the York Deeds. Book 5, part 1, page 7.
Thomas Trickey had land granted him at Kittery before 1675, and was living there in 1707. Zebulon Trickey was at Kittery in 1725, and his wife's name was Eleanor; but whether he was a son of Thomas or not, we cannot say. He came to Fal- mouth (now Portland), in 1735, where his son, Zebulon, Jr., was born, July 26, 1736. Tradition says that he had another son, named David.
Zebulon Trickey, Jr., married. Aug. 10, 1758, Rebecca, daughter of Samuel and Rebecca (Sawyer) Skillings. She was born June 15. 1734. Their children were as follows:

WEBB
The ancestor of the Webb family in Windham and vicinity was Samuel Webb. A full account of him is given in Chapter II. By his first wife, he had two sons, Samuel and Thomas, who did not settle in Windham.
His children by his second wife were as follows:
1. David, born July 1, 1727, in Tiverton, R. I.
2. Ezekiel, was a master mariner; m. on Cape Cod.
3. John, born 1731.
4. Seth.
5. Susanna.
6. Eli, born Nov. 7, 1737.
7. James, baptized Jan. 27. 1745, in Windham.
8. Josiah, baptized Jan. 27, 1745, d. Nov. 3, 1749.
9. Abigail, d. when about 5 years old.
10. Elizabeth, baptized June 15, 1744, in Windham.
David, son of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, married, Nov. 16, 1749, Dorothy Peabody, daughter of Francis Peabody of Middleton, Mass. He came with his parents to New Marble- head (now Windham), and his is the fourth marriage recorded on the church book. It was solenmized by Rev. John Wight, first minister of Windham. She was born Mar. 27, 1720, and was, therefore, about seven years older than her husband. They settled, first, in Windham ; but, on Jan. 5, 1756, he bought of David Gorham of Barnstable, "one hundred acres of land in Gorhamtown." This land was near the Westbrook line, and
551
GENEALOGY
here ·he died, as it is supposed. He was living on Aug. 23, 1764. They had four children :
1. Dorothy, born Sept., 1750, bapt. Dec. 23, 1750, in Wind- ham.
2. David. born Jan. 31, 1752, bapt. Apr. 5, 1752, in Wind- ham.
3. Jonathan, born Nov. 25, 1756, in Gorham.
4. Bethia, born -_ , 1758; m. Prince Hamblen, Mar. 22, 1781.
John, son of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, married, in 1753, Elizabeth, daughter of Benjamin and Amy (Pride) Lar- rabee. They settled on a farm near "Pride's Bridge" (now Riverton), where their farm buildings, in a dilapidated con- dition, stood on the westerly side of the Bridgton Road, since the writer's recollection. Mrs. Webb died in 1827. The date of his death I have not ascertained. They had children, as follows :
1. John, Jr., born May 19, 1754.
2. Anna.
3. Betsey.
4. Abigail, m. Ebenezer Cross of Portland.
5. Mary, m. Green Hannaford of Cape Elizabeth.
6. William, m. - Moody ; was a sea captain.
7. Susan.
There were also two sons, Benjamin, who was married, but left no children ; he lived on the ancestral farm; and Thomas, who died unmarried.
Ezekiel, son of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, was mar- ried and left one daughter. He was a master mariner, and lived on Cape Cod, but I am not able to give any further facts in regard to him.
Seth, son of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, married, Nov. - , 1759, Hannah, daughter of Ephraim and Mehitable (Cutter) Winship. On Sept. 21, 1750, he was taken captive by the Indians on his father's farm (Home Lot No. 23). From a letter written by Capt. Thomas Chute to Col. or Maj. Freeman of Falmouth, it appears that Mr. Webb and his son, Seth, were engaged in building fence, and, having finished their work and returned to the house, they discovered that they had left the
552
WINDHAM IN THE PAST
axe in the woods. Mr. Webb sent his son to get it, and, while searching for the missing implement, the Indians came upon him suddenly and took him prisoner. The Indians carried him to Canada, where he remained for more than a year. I am well aware that the story of Seth Webb has been severely criticised, certain parties going so far as to assert that he never was cap- tured at all, while others have it that he was released in the course of a few days and came home. But. in the Mass. Ar- chives, Vol. 64, Page 57, is to be seen the official record of Capt. Phineas Stevens, a Commissioner appointed by the General Court, to negotiate the release of captives held by the French and Indians, in Canada. We learn positively from this record that Seth Webb and Joseph Noble were at that date, (Feb. 1, 1752) prisoners among the Indians at St. Francois, and that their captors then refused to give them up. In June, 1752, the Indians decided to deliver them to Capt. Stevens, which they accordingly did .- hence, in faet, it was nearly two years before he was finally set at liberty. He was an inmate of Mayberry's garrison, in the last Indian war; and, on that eventful May 14, 1756, he was one of the brave band who sallied out and pursued the enemy. It is a well-known fact that he mortally wounded one of their number.
In 1766, he removed with his family to Deer Isle, Me., and died there, but the date of his death I have never learned. The Webb family records, state that his family consisted of two sons and six daughters, but one of whom appears to have been born in Windham. On the church book, I find the record of the baptism of Hannah, daughter of Seth and Hannah Webb, on Mar. 20, 1763. It is said that several of their descendants still reside at Deer Isle.
Eli, son of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, married, Apr. 20, 1760, Sarah Cloutman, daughter of Edward and Anna (Col- lins) Cloutman. She was born in Gorham, Feb. 5, 1742. He was a farmer and lived in Gorham near Gambo, where he owned a large traet of land including the water power, now owned by the Dupont Co. His house is the same recently owned by Alonzo Libby, at Pleasant Ridge. Eli Webb was a soldier in the French and Indian wars. He also served a short time in the Revolution.

10. Rachel, born July 2, 1781; m. James McDonald, Jan. 20, 1803.
Susannah, daughter of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, married, Dec. --- -. 1753, William Maxfield of Windham ; lived in that town. Children of said Maxfield :
1. A son, not named, born May 2, 1754.
2. Elizabeth, baptized May 12, 1755, by Rev. P. T. Smith.
3. Daniel, baptized Dec. 24, 1769, by Rev. Peter T. Smith .- who says, in a foot note, that Mrs. Susannah Maxfield had died previous to this ; and it appears that her husband married Miss Mary Wescott, then of Windham.
Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel and Bethia (Spear) Webb, married, Apr. 1. 1767. Jonathan Roberts, then "of Windham." The family tradition it, that she had five sons and four daugh- ters : also that they moved to Buckfield, Me., but, at what time, I am unable to say. By a reference to the town records we find that Jonathan Roberts and his wife, Elizabeth, had one child born in Windham:
1. Samuel, born Feb. 5, 1789.
Jonathan, son of David and Dorothy (Peabody) Webb, mar- ried, Mar. 4. 1781, Mary Coverly. He was, for many years, a successful lumberman at old Saccarappa, in which business he
554
WINDHAM IN THE PAST
amassed a large fortune; he also kept a public house in the vil- lage, in the same building recently known as the "Presumpscot House." Ilad five children :
1. Joshua, born Jan. 12, 1782; married, Quinby ; was a lumberman. Ile erected for his private residence the large brick house, now used as a boarding house by the West- brook Manufacturing Co. It is said that one of his sons was recently living in Lowell, Mass.
2. Mary, born Sept. 26, 1784; married Samuel Deane Pike, born in Windham. Apr. 18, 1777. He was the son of Col. Tim- othy and Elizabeth (Jones) Pike. She was the mother of Sam- uel G. Pike of ('alais, Me .; and, in the division of her father's estate, the well known " Pike field," now called "Scotch Hill," fell to her share.
3. David, born Nov. 30, 1786, married Jane Bailey. She died in 1848, and is buried at Saccarappa. The date and place of his death are both unknown.
4. Elizabeth, born Jan. 21. 1791: married Capt. Henry Babb of Saccarappa.
5. Dorothy, born Nov. 9, 1800; married C'ol. George Small of Westbrook. She died in Deering, Me., aged 95 years.
Mrs. Mary (Coverly) Webb died Dec. 20. 1803, and Mr. Webb, married for his second wife Susannah, one of the twelve daughters of Capt. John Smith of Stoughton, Mass. By her it is said he had two daughters, but of them I am not informed. Jonathan Webb died Apr. 8, 1810, and he and his wife, Mary, are buried in the old "Conant" yard at Westbrook. His head- stone bears the following quaint epitaph :
"Jesus. I give my spirit up and trust it in thy hand,
My dying flesh shall rest in hope and rise at thy command, Now I renounce my carnal hope. my fond desires recall,
I give my worldly interests up and make my GOD my all."
On that of his wife may be seen the following :
"Remember me as you pass by, As you are now so once was I, As I am now soon you must be, Prepare to die and follow me."

He was probably the best school teacher Windham ever had, and his best work was done in the interest of the common schools of his native town. He served many years as one of the Superintending School Committee, and his very presence in the schoolroom would inspire the pupils with confidence in themselves, and a desire to do their very best, in order to gain Mr. Webb's approbation.
