INDEX

[294]

Jeremiah came to Penobscot, Maine with his parents. He made the original survey of the town as assistant to John Peters. Jeremiah served after the War for Independence in the local militia as Captain of the First Company, Second Regiment, Second Brigade. {-"Folk of the Majorbagaduce," p.17; "History of Castine - The Battle Line of Four Nations," George A. Wheeler [Second Edition; Cornwall, NY: The Cornwall Press, 1922], p. 131 states that he was addressed in 1804 as Colonel by Brig. General John Crosby. Another Jeremiah Wardwell is in "A Muster Roll of Capt. Benjamin Ames's Company as Minute Men in Col. James Frye's Regiment From the 19th of April, 1775" in "Historical sketches of Andover: (comprising the present towns of North Andover and Andover) Massachusetts" [Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1880], p. 298.} See http://www.geocities.com/penobscot_maine/population.html re: Jeremiah Wardwell's militia service in Penobscot.

He was selectman of Castine, including the town of Penobscot, 1787/88 and again 1793/94. He was living at Penobscot in 1769. He was one of the committee chosen to draw up the agreement of separation of Castine and Penobscot in 1795. In 1796 he was one of a committee to divide the town into eight school districts and apportion the students and money to each district. He built the first schoolhouse in Penobscot (on Charles Perkins' hill) in 1809 at a cost of $700; it was heated by two huge fireplaces and served until 1850. He is said to have taught many young men math, surveying and navigation before the schools were established. His house is presumed that marked "J. Wardwell" on maps of his era, located on present-day route 199 on the Bagaduce River side of the road just toward Castine from the entrance to the lower road onto Wardwell's Point. He and Capt. Thatcher Avery together paid for the first church building in Penobscot (Methodist) in 1801, on Capt. David Dunbar's farm - it is reputed to have held 1,000 worshippers. His children are from Penobscot, ME V.R. Jeremiah gave a farm to each of his eight sons and $500 each to his four daughters (per great-granddaughter Helen Peterson Conner). [For his military service as a privateer on the 'Tryphena', see "Soldiers, Sailors and Patriots of the Revolutionary War - Maine," Carleton E. Fisher (Louisville, KY: NSSAR, 1982), p. 825.]

Hosea Wardwell (1838-1913), Jeremiah Wardwell's grandson, was the author of "The Early Settlers of the Town of Penobscot", published in the Belfast Republican Journal, 1890, and reprinted in the Bangor Historical Magazine, Vol. 7, pp. 25-26. Hosea wrote of his grandfather: "Jeremiah began life as a cook on board his father's sloop Enterprise. In a Diary kept by him of a voyage from York to Bagaduce, at age 14, he wrote: 'February 16, 1770: Frozen into the ice between Long Island and Bagaduce Point. Out of provisions, out of patience, out of tobacco, and worse than all, out of rum. February 17: We cut a hole in the ice and caught a halibut that weighed 300 pounds, and two codfish that weighed forty pounds each. February 18: The crew went out on the ice to Fort Pownall for supplies. March 9: The ice broke up and we brought the sloop to the landing at Bagaduce and soon loaded with wood for Boston. ' In 1774, when 17 1/2 years old, his father removed the family from York to Bagaduce and settled on Lot No.82 where Hosea B. Wardwell, author of this sketch, resided. Without a teacher, 'Jere' Wardwell mastered land surveying and was an assistant surveyor to Mr. John Peters in laying out the township to the eastward of the Penobscot River. He took land in pay for his service, and thus laid the foundation for an ample fortune. In 1775, Jere and his brother Daniel were seaman aboard the Tryphena, their father aboard as owner and Captain. Jeremiah engaged in trading, lumbering and real estate. He had 200 acres (60 rods on the water) originally settled by brother-in-law Finlay Malcolm in 1769; and 100 acres (60 rods on the water) orginally settled by brother-in-law Daniel Brown in 1773. The assumption could be made that these properties were acquired in 1783, when Findlay and Brown and families, Loyalists, were transported to Nova Scotia by the new U.S. government. In 1787, Jeremiah was appointed Captain of a company in the 1st Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 8th Division of the militia of Massachusetts, in the County of Lincoln, by Governor John Hancock, and rose by promotion from grade to grade till he received the rank of Colonel by appointment from Governor Samuel Adams in 1797. In the first U.S. Census in 1790, Jeremiah and his family were enumerated at Penobscot: 1-3-4-1-0 (i.e. Jeremiah; sons William, Eliakim, Ebenzer; wife 'Betsy'; daughters Ruth, Anna, and [a female servant]; and a slave). In 1790, he built a two-story dwelling, containing eleven rooms, and here, according to the custom of the times, he kept a free hotel. Poor and rich, high and low, enjoyed his hospitality without money and without price. Very seldom a night passed but he had a guest to entertain. His daughters often complained that they were called from the comfortable beds at midnight to cook for uninvited, but not unwelcome, visitors. He was a man who could never say no, and he lost many thousand of dollars by becoming bondsman for others, and by lending money without proper security. But he had an abundance to carry him comfortably through life, and he gave each of his sons a farm. The 1800 Census at Penobscot showed Jeremiah's family as 7-6, B(26-44) (i.e. Jeremiah; William, Eliakim, Ebenezer, Joseph, Robert, Lewis; "Betsey", Ruth, Anna, Elizabeth, and [2 female servants]). In religion, Mr. Wardwell's views were liberal. He never made any public profession, but as being the most liberal, strongly favored the Methodists. He and Captain Thatcher Avery at their joint expense built a commodious house of worship for the Methodists in 1801" (the first such east of the Penobscot). In 1803 and 1804, he represented the town of Penobscot in the General Court of Massachusetts. In politics he was an unbending adherent of Thomas Jefferson, and a firm believer in the principles of State's Rights, and complete separation of Church and State. When Elder Roundy, a Baptist clergyman, was sued, and his cow sold to pay his tax to the established Church, Jeremiah gave him another cow from his own herd in testimony of this abhorrence of the last which sanctioned such iniquity. Mr. Wardwell's house was always open to ministers on the circuit. During the year 1789, the Presiding (Aldership) of Joshua Taylor, afterwards a Bishop of the Methodist Church South, Jeremiah gave Mr. Taylor his board for a year. When Mr. Taylor was roughly handled by the members of the established church in Castine, for the crime of preaching a Methodist Sermon in a barn, he sought refuge with his infidel friend in Penobscot, as Mr. Wardwell was called by the name infidel by those who termed themselves the 'faithful'. A strong friendship was formed between these two men which only was terminated on the death of Mr. Wardwell. Rev. Thomas F. Norris, afterwards editor of the Boston Olive Branch, made his home with Mr. Wardwell in 1813, resulting in a life-long friendship. When he began trading, Mr. Wardwell, like too many others of his day, sold rum. He soon saw the evil of it and abandoned the traffic and for the last 35 years of his life he was styled a fanatical temperance man." The he was not opposed to owning slaves is apparent from the Census of 1790, but New England had as many slaves as did the planters of the South prior to the Civil War. In 1812, he was appointed Justice of the Peace by Governor Elbridge Gerry, which office he heldby reappointment until his death. In the first Town Meeting of Penobscot, April 18, 1787, he had been chosen one of the Selectmen, and was chosen to the same office for nearly every year after that until he death. He was always one of any committee chosen to transact any business for the town, and his decisions were all acquiesced in as being just. Although he never attended school a day in his life, by dint of hard labor he acquired what in his day was called good learning, and many young men sought his instruction in reading, writing, surveying, navigation and arithmetic. Before public schools were established, he hired a private teacher one or two months a year for his children."
