• Notes

  From: A History of Buckfield, Oxford County, Maine, from the Earliest Explorations to the Close of the Year 1900 - Alfred Cole, Charles Foster Whitman 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.
