• Notes

  "Jonathan Sturgis was a Revolutionary soldier, and enlisted in April, 1775, in Captain Hart Williams company, thirty first regiment, commanded by Colonel Edmund Phinney. Colonel Phinney led his regiment into Cambridge soon after the battle of Bunker Hill, and Jonathan Sturgis was among the first to march into Boston after its evacuation by the British." (Alonzo Walton Sturgis, 1900.) ( From Goold's "History of Col. Phinney's 31st Regiment of Foot", Col. Phinney was the first regiment raised in the county of Cumberland in the Revolutionary War.) "Mr. and Mrs. Sturgis came to Gorham from Barnstable about 1769. He took up and cleared, at what is now West Gorham, the farm (the hundred acre lot, 74) on which he lived and on which he died." (McLellan, History of Gorham, ME, 1903.) [1]
