David resided in Plantation 3 in Hancock Co., Maine, and served in the War for Independence. {-per George A. Wheeler, "History of Castine...,"Bangor, 1875, p.362.} The first Methodist Church in Penobscot was built on Capt. Dunbar's farm in 1801 with a
seating capacity of 1,000! {-Rilla Leach Moore, "Mill Creek: Penobscot, Maine," Castine: 1967, p.3.} Deaths in the Penobscot area also include a Lucy Wardwell, married, age 58 years, died 25 August 1868, dauughter of David Dunbar, born in Scituate, MA,
and wife Elizabeth Coan [sic] - did Elizabeth remarry? - is Lucy a daughter of David who d. 1841? David (?1757-1841?) was a solider in the "French and Indian" war and the War for Independence (serving as a Minuteman 17 April 1775!). Mark E. Honey
wrote in the Castine Patriot (newspaper), 22 July 1999, p. 6: "Captain David Dunbar...lived in what is now Penobscot, in that community I call the Narrows, between Wardwell's Point and the present Castine town line. He was a master mariner,
commanding the schooner 'Hancock' of Blue Hill in 1798, the schooner 'Eight Sisters' of Castine in 1801, and the schooner 'Freedom,' also of Castine. He is also listed as the master of the ship 'Joseph & Phebe' of Castine, probably a vessel belonging
to the Perkins family. In March and April of 1812 we find Captain Dunbar sailing to the West Indies and the port of Antigua. He was apparently working for the Castine merchant Doty Little. His crew included Nathan Whight, Jeremiah Green, Mr. Clow,
Mr. Perkins, and William Acean. The list of sailors is not complete, nor is the name of the vessel legible, though it may be the 'Defiance,' but what has survived is a one-page document which sheds some light on the expenses of a small vessel in 1812
plying the waters of the West Indies. Incidentally, the initials W.I. were familiar to 19th century coastal folks, because they represented the trade and goods which were a vital link in their maritime commerce. Rum for the ship's use: this
particular entry is mentioned on March 9, 11/2 gallons at $1.50, and March 20, 1 gallon at $2. Additional purchases of rum occured on March 20, when a boat was hired at 25 cents per to haul two casks of rum, on March 21 when seven casks of rum and
molasses were boted (boated) for 25 cents each, on March 24 when 120 gallons of rum and punch were purchased for $74, and on March 27 when 12 casks of rum and punch were brought to the vessel. This large amount of alcohol was part of the cargo which
was to be brought back to Boston or Maine. The rum used on-board ship was part of the daily ration for captain and crfew. It was kept under the watchful eye of the captain whose other difficult job was to keep the crew from sampling the merchandise.
Sugar was another important commodity to be purchased for the trip home. ..." NSDAR 611765 records his military service: "Pvt. May 1st 1775, Scituate, Mass. served 8 months under Samuel Stockbridge, Col. Hearth's Regt. of Mass., Jan. 1st 1776
serving 1 year under Capt Joshua Jacobs, Col. Bailey Continental Army, May 1st 1777, 8 months under Capt nathaniel Jarvius, Col. Henry Jackson Continental Army. He was engaged in the battle of Frogs Point and White Plains. - "Soldiers of The American
Revolution, Maine," p. 23; Pension #W 22981 National Archives." [A John Dunbar was a grantee at St. Andrews, N.B. among Loyalists resettled there from Castine, ME in 1783-84 - no relationship is known but the surname is curious.]

William's family history is given in "A Family of the Bagaduce: The Ancestry and Genealogy of William Conner, Jr....," by Albert E. Myers (Harrisburg, PA, 1976). His middle name is Henry per plaque under his portrait in the Wilson Museum, Castine,
Maine; this plaque notes that Capt. Conner sailed clipper ships to the West Indies and other ports, and later sailed to the Grand Banks. He is not to be confused with person of the same name in coastal Waldo County, Maine. The ship William H. Conner,
built in Searsport, was named for this other William H. Conner, who d. 13 Sept 1875 at age 57, resident of Belfast, ME, merchant and shipbuilder (m. Caroline R. Porter 22 Sept 1839, she d. 13 Sept 1875) - the ship was the largest and last full-rigged
ship built at Searsport [launched in June, 1877, 210' long, 40' beam, 24' depth, 1496 tons]. A fine description of fishing on the Grand Banks under sail is given in Chapter 26 of "Coastal Maine: A Maritime History," Roger F. Duncan (New York:
W.W.Norton, 1992). Also see "Maine Sea Fisheries: The Rise and Fall of a Native Industry, 1830-1890," by Wayne M. O'Leary (Boston: Northeastern University Press). By 1860 Castine was the wealthiest town in Maine, due to its fishing fleet.

Fred grew up on and farmed the homestead where his ancestor John D. Conner was listed in 1766. The homestead buildings are now gone, but the old family cemetery is visible about 1/3 of the way to the shore from the road. Around 1900 Fred broke his
knee and he and Helen moved Castine. They first resided in the building now occupied by the Water Witch store on Main Street where Helen operated a boarding house. Then they moved to their home on Perkins Street (the second house northeast of
Pleasant Street on the northwest side of the street). Fred was a construction worker and a member of the crew which built
the Wilson Museum in 1921. At his death he was the oldest resident of Castine. He died of a fall down his cellar stairs during an air raid drill; he had turned off the house lights and was going to the cellar as prescribed in the drill instructions.
His funeral service was held in his home on Perkins Street with the Rev. Nelson Canfield officiating.

Via email from SEDWilkins@aol.com in December, 2001:

My great-grandmother Addie Wardwell Dunbar is almost certainly the woman you

have listed . . . .

According the notes I have here, which I believe are in Annie's hand, Addie

Wardwell Dunbar was one of three daughters of Clara Wardwell, Addie and Annie

having been born, a year apart, to Clara and Jairus Dunbar. These notes

indicate, as do your records, that Clara remarried, but show that she also

had two children with Samuel Dunbar, Helen (later McMasters) and William F.,

who married Luena Connor.

Addie was born October 9, 1866. Her sister Annie L. Dunbar was born October

8, 1867. Helen M. Dunbar was born October 28, 1874 and William F. Dunbar was

born August 29, 1883.

George Henry Dunbar (who was born April 5, 1866 according to both these notes

and your records) and Addie Wardwell Dunbar were married August 12, 1899,

according to the State Archives (though the record says "George A"). He was

attached to an Army Transport ship (I believe he was in the Merchant Marine)

and went to China during the Boxer Rebellion. From there he returned (to

base?) in Oregon. Perhaps Robert was born there -- I still don't have birth

data for him.

My father understood that Addie and George both died of the flu in Oregon,

but they are buried in Castine so we hypothesized that the family (or perhaps

the Army or the Masons?) had their bodies brought back home. My father

understood that their son, his father, Robert, had become a ward of the State

of Oregon, but his maiden aunt Annie obtained custody and brought him home

and raised him in Castine.

(Annie's notes, and your records, if "Abby W" is Addie, have Addie's date of

death as 1907 and George's date of death as 1916, so perhaps he returned to

Castine with his son after his wife's death and Annie helped to raise Robert?

Or perhaps Addie died in Oregon while George was at sea, and so the child was

sent back to Castine, and George returned there after being mustered out? At

any rate, my father and his family went home to Castine to see Aunt Annie

during my father's childhood.)

Robert died in 1955, and his widow deeded the house in Castine to a man who

had been the caretaker and looked after Annie in her invalid old age.

Unfortunately I do not (yet) know his name.

My father, Malcolm Clyde Dunbar, was Robert's only child. He died in 1999 so

I am reconstructing all this without any living relative for recollecting

(which is why I can't double-check the "ward of the state" story).
