      Humbly sheweth
      That your Memorialist in the contest between Great Britain and her Colonies, by his attachment to the British Government rendered himself obnoxious to the resentment of the Colonists who obliged your Memorialist with a wife and family to seek refuge under His Majesty's protection in the Garrison at Ponobscot
      That during the continuance of the Garrison there your Memorialist prempted by duty and inclination was assisting His Majesty's arms in the naval line to annoy the enemy (having been brough up to the Sea) as far as his efforts could extend; several testimonials in the possession of your Memorialist evinces this, and to the knowledge of Gentlemen now present, and then residing in the Garrison.
      That at the peace, your Memorialist removed with his Wife and several children into the Bay of Passamaquoddie to settle there with the Loyalists on the division of the Land what fell to the share of your Memorialist proving bad laid upon Memorialist under great difficulties to support his family to this time.
      That your Memorialist having always been used to maratime business retains a stong predilection for it, and wishes to eter his bilities in that way to the maintenance of his family: and as your Memorialist humbly hopes to the benefit of the Community in a more extended view by improving the fishery on the Coast.
      That for effecting this desirable purpose it is absolutely necessary to have some convenient place whereon to deposit the Neseccaried for such an undertaking - a small Island called Saunders Isle in Passamaquoddie Bay situated among a cluster of other Isles and totally unimproved would answer the purpose
      Your Memorialist therefore humbly deseeched your Excellency for License to occupy the said Saunders Isle and as in duty boun etc

      Humbly sheweth

      That your Memorialists were of the number of those persons who during the war between Great Britain and her Colonies, left their possessions on account of their attachment to the British Government, and sheltered themselves and families from the rage of their enemies in His Majesty's Garrison then established at Penobscot...

      That previous to the Garrison's evacuation Penobscot the General there commanding agreeable to his instructions, directed to be made known to your Memorialists, that besides the Land allowed indiscriminately to all Loyalists desirous to settle in the bay of Passamaquaddie, those of the Penobscot association who had families should be allowed a certain proportion of Land for each woman and child to be laid out in the rear of the Land given to the Loyalists...

      That accordingly directions were given to the Surveyors who actually did lay out land for each woman and child belonging to the families of the Penobscot association and the Lots were drawn and assigned to each one.

      That numbers of those children now come to maturity and others concerned in the said Land have been and are still desirous to occupy and improve but have been much discouraged therefrom, as hitherto no Grant could be obtained to confirm the Possession- as also it having been represented to your Memorialists that certain persons now of the Association have applied for and allowed License to occupy a large portion of the Lands allotted to the families of your Memorialists

      Your Memorialists therefore beseech your Excellency a Grant of the Land agreeable to the original Survey...

      And as in Duty bound etc

  • Notes 
    • Esther Clark Wright suggested that David Eastman had a connection to Pennsylvania, and perhaps was born there. After consulting numerous sources I have never been able to find the reference to PA. David was probably born in New Hampshire, coming to Maine with his family, and removing to New Brunswick after the War.

      It is known that David lived in the Garrison at Penobscot during the Revolutionary War. In 1783, he and the rest of those Loyalists left Maine for Charlotte County. He lived at St Stephen for a few years before purchasing a farm lot in Bayside in 1787. All of the Eastmans emenating from St Andrews are likely his descendants.

      Only one reference to David's birthplace is given, that being in 1880 when his son John's parents' birthplaces were given as his father born in Maine and mother born in Massachusetts. It is clear that he lived in Maine before coming to New Brunswick, and considering he took refuge at Fortt George, he and his family probably lived in the mid-coastal area.

      In a petition submitted by his daughter Elizabeth, she gives her birthplace as "Kennebec," which is not specific, but certainly points to a well defined region. There was a Samuel Eastman family living at Gardiner in the 1770s. Investigation of this family did not uncover a David connected to the family, nor any indication that David lived in the area.

      Another Eastman family lived at Harpswell. Harpswell is situated in Casco Bay. The Kennebec River runs through Bath, the town just to the east of Harpswell. Although Harpswell is not on the Kennebec River, it is certainly in what would have been called Kennebec. The Kennebec proprietors owned the land 15 miles on either side of the river. This patent is often called the Bingham or Kennebec Purchase, and would certainly encompass Harpswell.

      The Harpswell Eastmans were David and his wife Susannah Flanders. They were married in Salisbury, Massachuettsin 1742, and settled in New Hampshire. They had about 8 children before he died in 1756. None of the children's births were recorded in Massachusetts, so they were all likely born in Sandown, New Hampshire, where the family lived.

      Susannah remarried by 1758 to Nathaniel Eastman. The family moved to Harpswell by 1764. Among the children of David and Susannah was a son David born in 1755, most likely at Sandown. It seems this is the Bayside David. No further information about this David is known in the family memory of the descendants of David and Susannah, and the Revolutionary War may be the reason why.

      The genealogy "History and genealogy of the Eastman Family in America" by Guy S Rix records that an old Eastman descendant from the David and Susuannah line remembers three brothers, two who took up with the Americans, and the third who stayed loyal to the king, settling on the British side of the St Croix. As David and Susannah had three sons, John, Kingsbury, and David, the story may have a leg to stand on. Kingsbury is a known Patriot, and his service is documented. He remained in Harpswell until his death in 1791. It is not clear if John served in the War, and no service record in Maine is consistent with his serving from there, or from Massachusetts. So it is hard to say how he fits into this story. Our David, though, did remove to the British side of the St Croix, Loyal to the Crown.

      So it is consistent to conclude that David Eastman was born in 1755 in Sandown, New Hampshire. He moved to Maine before 1764 with his mother and her second husband. He was married about 1777 (or perhaps somewhat before), probabaly in the Harpswell area. A David Eastman appears in a militia list in nearby Woolwich in 1777. About 1782 he took his family to the Garrison at Penobscot where he remained for the rest of the war. When the fort was abandoned in 1783, he and his family moved to Charlotte County.

      Kingsbury Eastman bap South Hampton 19 July 1750 d 10 November 1791 at seas. r by 1770 Harpswell. Many traditions have been handed down of this family; one is from a very aged descendant. "Three brothers came from England to America. One of these settled in New Hampshire. The other two settled in Harpswell, Maine. One of these took the king's side in the Revolutionary war, and settled on the English side of the St Croix river. He finally went to Nova Scotia. The third brother, whose name is not recalled, espoused the cause of liberty. His wife's name was Susan, of Dutch origins. She was a woman of superior strength, and at all the raisings and gatherings in all those days they had wrestling bouts, and she would always throw the last man. She could pick up a cask of cider and drink from the bung. She could butcher a 400 pound hog and hang his up without aid from any one. She drove six English offivers from her house because they were saucy to her."

    • History of Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell, Maine, including the ancient territory known as Pejepscot
      by Wheeler, George Augustus
      Publication date 1878
      p 301
      In Harpswell
      About 1762, Richard Starbird and Timothy Bailey were licensed as innholders, in Harpswell.

      A Mr Eastman kept a sailor boardingn-house on the east side of Condy's Point [Cundy Point], Great Island [Sebascodegan Island], before and during the Revolution.

      p 668
      About 1766 a one-story house was built on this island, near Condy's Harbor, by James Eastman. It is still standing, and is now occupied by Mrs Adaline Elliott.

      p 687
      About the year 1782, though probably somewhat earlier, but still towards the close of the war, a daring and succesful exploit was performed by the patriotic inhabitants of Great Sebascodigan Island. For some years previously, several small schooners, acting as "tenders" to the English war vessels, had infested the waters of Casco Bay, landing at defenceless places and robbing the farmers and preying upon the fishermen. The inhabitants at last, incensed by these maraudings, resolved to retaliate. Knowing that the crew of one of these vessels often came to Condy's to trade and to have a carousal at a store kept by a Mrs. Eastman (a noted Tory), they decided to capture the vessel and crew.
