Then marched thru PA, DE, MD and finally to Sucasunny Plains, (NJ?). Then marched back to Peekskill, NY where he was discharged. Did not receive discharge papers as well as he can remember.

    From Genealogical Collections Concerning the Scottish House of Edgar by Andrew Edgar
    "David Gammon served in the Revolution in Capt. Samuel Whitmore's Co., 3rd, Cumberland County Regt. of Militia under command of Col. Reuben Fogg of Scarborough, Me. This company with that of Capt. Benjamin Larrabee started to march to Peekskill, N. Y., Dec. 25, 1777. They were allowed a penny for each mile traveled, receiving for three hundred and ninty-two miles the sum of one pound, twelve shillings, and eight pence.

    Samuel, a brother of David, also a soldier in the Revolution, signed with David Ray, Benjamin Patch, Joseph Hancock, and Jonathan Moors an application to the Proprietors of Otisfield Plantation for the warrant of the first meeting in that plantation. This meeting was held Apr. 23, 1787, at which time not more than thirty families had settled in the plantation."

    From: A History of Otisfield, Cumberland County, Maine from the Original Grant to the Close of the Year 1944 by William S. Spurr; Pages 392-393
    "GAMMON, DAVID, son of Joseph the 1st, married Mary Doane in 1777, (int. May 3d) in Gorham, Me. He was in Otisfield in 1790 or before. He was the first settler on lot 86, since known as the Eben Sawyer, and later as the David Stone place. David Gammon bought of Wm. Gorham, adm. of the estate of David Gorham, late of Barnstable, Mass. a certain hundred acre lot of land numbered 86, in consideration of the said Gammon settling the same accordign to the injunction of the General Court. Dated Apr. 14, 1786. Timothy Jorday sold and deeded to David Gammon, one half of lot 85 adjoining the lot improved by Lieut. Joseph Hancock. Dated Sept. 3, 1789, 45 pounds. David Gammon sold to George Pierce lots 85 and 86, in consideration of 150 pounds, deed dated Nov. 6, 1793.

    "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.)

    There were four brothers, early settlers of Otisfield, Samuel, Joseph, David, and William. Samuel, David and Willliam were here in 1790. Also sister Christiana who m. Robert Knight."

    David married Doane, Mary after 03 May 1777 in Gorham, Cumberland Co., ME.

    DESCENDANT OF MAYFLOWER PASSENGER FRANCIS COOKE
    GRANDFATHER OF CIVIL WAR MEDAL-OF-HONOR-WINNER AXEL HAYFORD REED
    HELPED TO MAKE THE FAMOUS CHAIN THAT BLOCKED THE HUDSON RIVER IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR

    ------------

    A BIOGRAPHY OF LT. ELISHA BISBEE, by Larry Overmire (4th great grandson), Aug. 2008:

    Elisha Bisbee was born Mar. 4, 1757, in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, the eldest of nine children of Revolutionary War veteran Charles Bisbee and his wife Beulah Howland. Charles Bisbee was the great great grandson of Francis Cooke of the Mayflower.

    Elisha distinguished himself as an ardent patriot in the Revolutionary War. Such was his Revolutionary zeal that, while a blacksmith's apprentice, he purposely burned the lock of a Tory's gun that had been left at the shop to be repaired.

    Elisha went on to become a blacksmith in the Massachusetts Line and helped make the famous chain that blocked the British approach up the Hudson River. His promotion to lieutenant was signed by Gen. George Washington himself.

    Elisha married Mary "Molly" Pettingell on Sept. 22, 1779 in Duxbury. She was the daughter of Daniel and Sarah (Gannett) Pettingell. They had ten children: Susan, Sarah "Sally" Howland, Anna, Elisha Jr., Daniel, Mary "Molly," Hopestill, Thursea, Horatio, and Huldah.

    In 1784, Elisha and his family moved with his father to Sumner, Maine. He wrote a letter to his uncle William Ford of Pembroke, Mass., on Apr. 29, 1803, that gives an impression of what life was like in Sumner:

    "Dear Uncle: I embrace this opportunity to inform you that we are all well as common. I have nothing new to write. It is a general time of health here. We have had a very moderate winter, and as forward spring as we have had since I lived here. Bread and meat are plenty and cheap, and labor bears a very high price and not to be had at any rate... I have not had a line from you this many a day, and have done looking for any, but I am in hopes my scribbling may stir you up so that I may know how you and our relations fare there in that old worn-out country, and pray don't miss any opportunity of writing to me, as I shall take it very hard if you do. We have had a very exceeding snow storm here. It began on Friday, the fifteenth of this instant, early in the morning and grew hotter and hotter until Sunday about noon, when it abated. The snow fell eighteen or twenty inches deep and there is some of it to be seen now. It was by far the smartest storm we have had for the winter past. Our two oldest girls have got married and each of them got a boy. They married men of property and are in a way to live if no misfortune overtakes them. Remember me to all that may inquire..."

    In 1811, Elisha's wife Mary died. Some of the children were sent to live with others to ease the burden of raising them. On Sept. 15, 1812, Elisha married again, to Chloe Sylvester, the daughter of Elisha Sr. and Grace (Ruggles) Sylvester.

    Elisha died on either Dec. 1 or Dec. 4, 1826, at the age of 69. He was buried in The Bonney Road Cemetery in Sumner.

    Elisha married Pettingill, Mary [Molly] on 22 Sep 1779 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA. Mary was born on 19 Jan 1760 in Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA; died on 30 Aug 1811 in Sumner, Oxford Co., ME; was buried in Sumner, Oxford Co., ME. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
