Jeremiah Hodgdon

(Bef 1737 - 24 Aug 1823)

Jeremiah probably lived in West Gorham, on the northerly half of the hundred acre lot. He sold six acres to Samuel Brown, who built a house, another three acres to Colman P Watson, and in 1782, he sold the rest to Maj. George Lewis of Barnstable.
Jeremiah served as a private in 1778 with Capt. Richard Mayberry's company of Massachusetts Bay Forces under Col. Tupper. The company was mustered out at West Point, Jan. 1, 1779. Later that year Jeremiah Hodgdon was a corporal in Capt. McLellan's company in the Penobscot Expedition.
In 1781 he was one of the dissenters who signed a petition to the town asking to be exempt from paying the ministerial tax, claiming to be Baptist.
Jeremiah moved to Bucktown, now Buckfield after the death of his first wife. He married a second wife, Thankful Keen, and had four more children with her. He died in Hebron in 1823.
