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

    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]
