Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Record of the Services of the Commissioned Officers and Enlisted Men of Kittery and Eliot, Maine: Who Served Their Country on Land and Sea in the American Revolution, From 1775 to 1783 In 1775, the town had four companies of militia, all belonging to the First Regiment of Infantry of York County, commanded by Col. Edward Cutts, a resident of the town, but in 1776, the militia was reorganized, and the four companies increased to six, all belonging to the Second Regiment of York County, and commanded by Col. John Frost, a resident of the town, also an officer in the last French war. The second major was John Shapleigh of the town, and the adjutant was Lieut. Andrew P. Fernald, also a resident. The above officers all served with the Continental Army at various times during the war, as did nearly all the company officers. The officers and location of the six town companies were as follows: the First Company's were Capt. Elisha Shapleigh, First Lieut. James Shapleigh, Second Lieut. Thomas Hammond, and comprised that part of the second parish between Sturgeon Creek, the residence of Miss Farmer, the river, and the town of York.
