When Revolution Came pg 28 by Vernal Hutchinson As for restless Seth Webb, he and his wife, Hannah, now found themselves in a settlement even smaller and more primitive than Deer Island. One of it residents had recently written of it: " I now live on Penobscot River, about 23 miles above Fort Pownal; the settlement very new, the first man that pitch'd in my neighborhood has not been there more than 5 years...I find this a country very good for both Tillage&Grass tho at present cloath'd with a fine growth of Pine, Spruce, Cedar, hemlock etc intersperc'd with large spots of rock and white maple, birch, beach etc and some oak; the river excells for fish of various kinds, and easie navigation for the largest of vessells.. we are not yet got to the years of tillage and raesing our own bread and cloathing, and like to be shut from the previlege of importing. . In the years to come, this hamlet would be named Bangor. Pg 27 Joseph Whitmore had come to Deer Island from Windham, as child, with the family of Seth Webb, a relative. Now, that winter, Webb had moved off Deer Island, far up the Penobscot River, to Kenduskeag Plantation, for he was a hunter and trapper.
