Excerpt from Names of Soldiers of the American Revolution Who Applied for State Bounty Under Resolves of March 17, 1835, March 24, 1836, and March 20, 1836, as Appears of Record in Land Office A hundred and ten years have rolled by since the reverberation of the the last gun of the Revolution died away at Yorktown. More than three generations have come and gone, and still our interest increases rather than diminishes in those old heroes who, through long suffering and heroic deeds, achieved our national independence and laid the foundation of the grandest nation on earth. Every scrap of personal history and every tradition of that stormy period is eagerly sought for by the present and rising generations. Societies of the sons and daughters of the American Revolution have been formed, who are doing a grand work in gathering the scattered fragments of personal Revolutionary history and putting them in permanent form, to be handed down to future generations. In that great struggle Maine, though an unknown land and without a name, bore no insignificant part. Her villages were small and her homes scattered, yet from every hamlet and hillside her sons came nobly to the work both on land and sea. It was on her waters that the first naval fight occurred, and through her forests marched one of the most daring expeditions of the war. We are told that when General Washington, with uncovered head exclaimed "God bless the Massachusetts line," he was talking to a division composed of Maine soldiers, citizens of York and Cumberland counties. And now the State has very properly come forward to assist in preserving the record of her honored sons. The undersigned has been employed to compile the record herewith presented from the files of papers in the archives of the State, and it is sent out with the hope that it may assist many in tracing their descent from the patriots herein found.
