    From: "A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine: From the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900" by Alfred Cole, 1915
    Nathaniel Gammon from Gorham, settled on Lot 32, near what was afterwards the Lowell Corner. He had served in the Continental Army. His wife was Molly, the second daughter of Stephen Lowell. He passed the rest of his life on the farm he had carved out of the wilderness. Nathaniel Gammon was a man of upright character, of studious and industrious habits, and highly respected by all who knew him, as were also the members of his family - particularly his son, Jonathan, who was born, lived and died on the settling lot of his father. His descendants are scattered over the land; one, James Gammon, a worthy son and grandson, is an honored citizen in Dodge City, Kansas, and a sister, Margaret, a former school teacher, whom the writer gratefully remembers, is a widow in comfortable cicumstances in
    Eureka, California.

    Notes:

    From: "History of Gorham, Me", by Hugh Davis McLellan, 1903
    Philip and Joseph Gammon, brothers, came from England to America, when quite young, and lived for a while in Cape Elizabeth. In 1757, Philip, then of Scarborough, moved to Gorham, where he bought, July 7, 1757, the hundred acre lot, 45, of David Gorham. His wife was Joanna_____. We find no perfect record of his family...

    Aug 10, 1770, Phiip Gammon sold to David Gorham his hundred acre lot 45, and bought of Gorham the thiry acre lot 96 and the hundred acre lot 49, and apparently moved on to the former lot, for in 1784 he deeded to his sons Jonathan and Benjamin one-half of the lot with half of his dwelling house and barn. The hundred acre lot 49 he sold in 1771 to John Brackett of Falmouth. He afterwards owend and lived on the seventy acre lot 63, which lot he and Thomas Clay bought of David Harding, Jr. in 1797. His half he and his wife Joanna gave in 1801 to their daughter Ruth Clay, "in consideraton of the love he bore her." Philip Gammon moved to Windham, where his old cellar may still be seen. From Windham he went with his son Nathaniel to Raymondtown.
