Geoff: First off, if you're looking in Maine, you're looking in the wrong place. He died long before Maine existed. He was a captain in the Lexington Alarm, April 1775; Captain of Nixon's Massachusetts Regiment, May to December 1775; Captain 5th Continental Infantry, 1 Jan to 31 Dec 1776; served subsequently as a colonel in the Massachusetts militia; died 1791. Units of his regiment were on the Penobscot expedition, but my sources don't specifically mention his being there. He's listed in the DAR Patriot Index, so I'd suggest you contact them for copies of whatever might have family info.
