Lived in Dracut, Mass., Winthrop, Me., and Fairfield, Me.; and was probably the first settler in the last-named town. He settled there in 1771 at Emery Hill, on the west side of the Kennebec, and was a carpenter and farmer. He was very benevolent. His home was a stopping place for travelers and all were welcome. He invariably declined to receive pay. In 1775, when Arnold was making his famous expedition into Canada, he made his headquarters and Jonathan Emery’s house for two weeks, while his boats and baggage were being transported over the carrying-place to avoid the rapids of the Kennebec. He was an Indian scout for eight years, in revenge, it is said, for the murder of his brother John. He was an intimate friend of Rev. Paul Coffin.
