LEAMON T he Search for Security Maine after Penobscot The Penobscot campaign of 1779 made little impact on the military outcome of the American Revolution. The focus of military action was shifting to the southern states when the British seized Bagaduce (Castine) at the mouth of the Penobscot River and defeated the expedition dispatched by Massachusetts to drive them out.1 For people in the District of Maine, however, the Penobscot defeat represented a calamity of the first order. During the rest of the war, they had to contend with a garrison of regular British troops in their midst. To Bagaduce flocked loyalists who, with a vigor sharpened by vengeance, joined the regulars in plundering the coast. Active loyalist participation injected a new note of personal vindictiveness in what now became a civil war. Amid internal dissension and a growing sense of isolation and despair, unified defense collapsed throughout the District.

CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF THE FAMILY REUNION, AT DUXBURY, MASS,, SEPTEMBER 13, 1882, AND A GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, PREPARED EXPRESSLY FOR THIS WORK, ---BY--- HORACE ANDREW WADSWORTH, AUTHOR OF "QUARTER-CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF LAWRENCE, AND PUBLISHER OF THE LAWRENCE DAILY AND ESSEX WEEKLY EAGLE, LAWRENCE,.MASS, LAWRENCE, MASS.: p, , . D AT THE EAGLE STEAM JOB PRlNTrNG ROOMS, 1883. PREFACE. It is not without misgivings that this volume is handed to my kinsmen and namesakes, as a History of'' Two Hundred and Fifty Years of the \Vadsworth Family in America." The subject covers a great deal, and could be extended · ad infinitum. To collect, edit and publish, what really should find a place in the family history, would be the work of at least twenty years, and I find that the family historians of many well known names have been busy at least that time, and still the task is not completed. But the author of this history cannot delay twenty years, ten years, or even five years. The demand for the work will not admit of it. Letters have been received, almost daily, with the question, " How soon will the history be completed?" Not a few of our people who are deeply interested in this work, have reached, or passed, the ripe age of three score years anrl ten, and for their benefit, if for no other reason the promised work should be forthcoming.

Dr. FrederickW..Boyd compiled a genealogical history of the Boyd family. This bear.; no date as to when it was written, but is pre­ sumed to have been at least begun while Dr. Boyd was in Edinburgh at the age of 37, i.e. 1850, with possibly notes added in later years upon his return to this country. This volume, which is written in flawless, meticulous long-hand, the whole bound in leather, has found its way into my possession. I also have detailed records written by Dr. Boyd's wife, Mary Eliza Railey, on her family. These volumes contain much too much valuable history and fascinating reading to remain in the hands of a few persons.
