| Capt. James Grant and his family lived at Berwick, York, Maine. On 25 April 1703 his wife and children were baptized. On 10 May 1703 he was granted 50 acres. Between 1703 and 1714 he served on several trial juries. In 1714 he was collector of taxes and was sued in that capacity by the Selectmen of Berwick. In 1725 during King Philip's War James Grant was Captain of acompany of men sent to Norridgewock to put an end to Indian raids, and corresponded with Lt. Gov. William Dummer concerning tactics. The poem 'Mogg Megone' by John Greenleaf Whittier memorializes this expedition. The Massachusetts General Court offered Ï100 for each Indian scalp and this bounty led to the near extinction of the Maine Indians. For his wartime services Capt. Grant was given 60 acres on 27 September 1735 by the town of Kittery, York, Maine. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
