2. | Gammon, Philip (1.Blank1) was born in 1732 in England; died in 1801. 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.

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 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.

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.

From: "History of Gorham, Me", by Hugh Davis McLellan, 1903
Joseph, b. in Gorham in August, 1758, was a soldier of the Revolution, and a member of Capt. McLellan's company in the expedition against Bagaduce. After the defeat, he and John Lombard made their way to Gorham through the wilderness; they were without arms, and suffered great hardships, but finally, after a long time reached home in safety. Mr. Gammon and Mr. Lombard went together from Gorham to Otisfield, and afterwards to Norway, where they settled on adjoining farms, and there spent the remainder of their days. Mr. Gammon m. in Otisfield, Drusilla Reed, who was b. in Groton, Mass., in 1769. Ch: Charles, Harriet, Seba, Maria, Pomelia and Joseph. Mr. G. d. in Norway, in 1855, ag. 97.
From: Charles F. Whitman, "A history of Norway, Maine: from the earliest settlement to the close of the year 1922" (Norway, Me.: unknown, 1924). Pages 82-83
Joseph Gammon left an account of his and John Lombard's tramp home to Gorham through the woods, on the disastrous failure of the expedition against Castine (Bagaduce) in 1779. Seven others from Gorham and Gray, who were afterwards early settlers in Norway, were also in that expedition, but nothing relating to how these seven reached their homes has come down to us. On the breaking up of the expedition through the cowardice and incompetence of Commodore Saltonstall of Connecticut, and the destruction of the American fleet by the marines to prevent the vessels from falling into the hands of the enemy, the soldiers with the exception of four companies which were collected by General Peleg Wadsworth, and marched to Camden, were told by their officers to separate into small squads and make their way to their homes as best they could with Indians as guides. Gammon and Lombard chose to go by themselves. With others they had jumped from the transport they were on, the day before they began their long tramp, into the Penobscot, from fear of being captured by the British, and swam ashore without their guns or any rations. To travel from an hundred to an hundred and fifty miles, through a trackless forest, subsisting on berries and roots, with an occasional meal of raw flesh from small animals and birds, which they were fortunate enough to kill; wading and swimming streams, plunging through swamps and miry places, in summer was a very serious undertaking even for old hunters, skilled in woodcraft. After a tramp of about three weeks they reached their homes in Gorham. Their clothes were in tatters; their feet nearly naked and covered with blisters; their flesh lacerated and bruised; but with a joy in their hearts that is indescribable
Joseph married Patrick, Polly on 01 Mar 1795. Polly was born about 1775; died between 1801 and 1869. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.)
