Benjamin Larrabee started to march to Peekskill, N. Y., Dec. 25, 1777.

This meeting was held Apr. 23, 1787, at which time not more than thirty families had settled in the plantation."

"David Gammon was one of the greatest bear hunters in Otisfield, I think he killed as many as twenty bears in one year, sometimes. The bears were very thick at that time and used to go into his cornfield and get filled up and then they went and laid down in the swamp between his cornfield and the road and cooled off. He owned a bear hound, Benj. Patch, another and Benj. Wight another. He moved away to Buckfield after 1812 I think. He lived on the hill east of the road, opposite the house that Jerry Sawyer moved from Bell Hill and lived in. " (Statement of Enoch Spurr and Benj. F. Wight.)

Philip and Joseph Gammon, who were brothers, came from England to America about 1750 and settled in the vicinity of Portland. They lived at different periods at Cape Elizabeth, Scarboro and Gorham.
Joseph Gammon, brother of the first Philip, was constable and tax collector in Gorham for several years.
Taken from "History of Gorham, Maine", by Hugh D. McLellan, pub. 1902. Information compiled from family bibles and written records given to Mr. McLellan during the 1800's. Pages 510-511
Joseph Gammon lived on a farm of twenty acres adjoining that of his brother Philip. This land he bought on Jan 26, 1763 of John Phinney, it being a part of the hundred acre lot 44. This lot was one which was laid out to Phinney by the Proprietors, Sept 26, 1751. Capt. Phinney had previously sold the northern half of this lot to a William Gammon of Falmouth who sold the land teh following year, and of whom we have found no further record. Joeph Gammon and his wife Elizabeth were living on the farm (No. 44) as late as 1801. This is the farm afterwards owned by Daniel Gammon, and since known as the David Elder place. About the year 1792, Mr. Gammon purchased of Dr. Barker his dwelling house, which he hauled across the fields to his farm where it stood till destroyed by fire Dec 21, 1889. For several years Joseph Gammon was constable and tax collector of Gorham.
Apr. 29, 1799, Joseph Gammon gave to his son John Gammon of Gorham thirty acres, parts of the hundred acre lots 44 and 46.

From The Doane Family: Alfred Alder Doane
EBENEZER« DOANE (Ebenezer,» Ephraim,3 John») was born at Triiro, Mass., Aug. 22, 1706 and was baptized there by Rev. John Avery, Sept. 13, 1713. He married Elizabeth Skillings, who was born Apr. 25,1713, the daughter of Samuel3 and Aroda (Haley) Skillings (John,9 Thomas1) of Kittery, and Falmouth, Me. Mr. Doane went to Falmouth perhaps as early as the spring of 1739, when seven or eight families, among whom were the principal inhabitants, removed from Provincetown to Casco Bay. He was probably a seafaring man. They settled at Long Creek, Cape Elizabeth. After the death of her husband, of which we have no record, Mrs. Doane went to live with her daughter, Joanna Berry, at Buckfield, where she died very aged. But little can be learned of Ebenezer Doane. The probate records were burned in the Portland fire. I copy the history of this family from the Maine Genealogical Recorder. The births of their children are not recorded on the town or church records of Cape Elizabeth, but the following list is made up from reliable sources.
Ebenezer married Skillings, Elizabeth on 25 Apr 1743. Elizabeth (daughter of Skillings, Samuel and Haley, Rhoda) was born on 25 Apr 1713 in Truro, Barnstable Co., MA or Falmouth, ME; died in Buckfield, Oxford Co., ME. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
