2	Alexander first moved to the Newcastle area, then Cherryfield. In 1752, Alexander and his father signed the petition for the organization of Lincoln County. Alexander was Sargeant of a company of scouts at St. George in 1756, during the French and Indian wars. In 1762, he was a licensed retailer of tea and coffee at Newcastle, ME, and an Innholder in 1763. He was a ferryman on the Damariscotta River in 1764, on the committee to lay out a road from his house to Damariscotta Pond in 1767, and a selectman and Moderator of Town Meeting in 1770. He and his family moved to Steuben (which encompassed all of Milbridge and Cherryfield in those days) in 1770. They first settled in what is now Smithville, but Alexander found that it was too expensive getting his lumber to market from Tunk Stream, so about 1772, the family moved to the Narraguagus where he could raft his lumber down river to waiting ships. He built a dam and a tide mill below "Shipyard Point" (where he had built a home), so that logs cut along the river and on the islands would be easily accessible. Shortly after he moved to what would later be called Cherryfield, the Revolution broke out and Alexander played a major role as an aide and advisor to Col. John Allan who was responsible for thwarting the schemes of the British and keeping the Indians in line. During this time he was called Colonel, but in later years was made Brig. General. He had used his own money for the war, so he got a reimbursement from the government. In 1791, he received 150 pounds and a grant of 2000 acres of land in Whiting. He was one of a committee of three to negotiate a treaty with the Indians in 1790, and the following year was a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and a state senator. In 1790 he built the large house on the hill. In 1795, he was one of the original Overseers of Bowdoin College, at the time of its formation.	Campbell, Alexander (I1366)
