GeneralGeorgeWashington,bivou¬ ackedatCambridge,Massachusetts, wrotealettertoJohnHancockon24 October1775,informinghimofthe destructionofFalmouth,whichhecalled an"increasing&’flourishingvillage.”Ile fearedmanvseacoasttownswouldsoon share"thefateofunhappyFalmouth.”
Inthesummerof1778,twoarmed Britishsloops-ledbyaMaineTonconductedraidsalNaskcag(Brooklin)on PenobscotBayandthencontinued fartherupthecoast,plunderingand seizinglocalshipsalongtheway.
\owAmericantroopswerebilletedall alongtheMainecoasttohelpdefendour portsagainstBritishraids,whichcontin¬ uedunabated.
Officialrecords,includingtheminutes oftheHouseofRepresentativesof Massachusetts,revealbookkeeping regardingourhostingdutiesforContin¬ entalArmvactivities.
Forinstance,JosephMcLellanforward¬ edhisaccount“fordamagedonetohis chaiseinconveyingseveralIndiansfrom PenobscottoCambridge"onApril6.
