CHAPTER 1
ISRAEL HUNNEWELL (My Great, Great, Great Grandfather)
My great, great, great grandfather, Israel Hunnewell, Sr. was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1703, long before Pleasant Ridge existed. Israel and his twin, Richard, Jr., were born out of wedlock to Richard Honeywell and Johanna Nason. Richard Hunnewell, a noted Indian fighter, built this house in 1684. It is Scarborough's oldest house and made of hand hewn, wooden pegged timbers. A trap door in the house leads to a shallow dugout said to have been used as a hiding place during the Indian raids.
This is the story told to me many years ago about Richard Hunnewell and his twin boys, Israel and Richard,
The year is 1645 and a man by the name of Richard Honeywell was born in probably Devonshire, England. I am not sure what year he migrated to the United States, but I do know he was married and had four children; however, in 1703 being a military hero who set feminine hearts aflutter, met Johanna Nason in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Richard Honeywell and Joanna Nason became the parents of a set of twins. The twins were Israel and Richard, Jr. and in September 1703, one month after the twins were born, the Selectmen bound both twins, Israel and Richard, Jr. to George Vaughn, Esq., for 24 years, by advise and consent of Johanna Nason as she alone was haled to Court. The twin's father, Richard, Sr. died one month later in October of 1703.
Over the years, Israel moved from Portsmouth, New Hampshire to Berwick, Maine and settled in Pownalborough (now Wiscasset, Maine).
Israel Sr. had nine children, Benjamin, Richard, John, Lydia, Sarah and William, Israel, Thomas and Daniel. These children were born between 1737 and 1758.
Richard (Israel's second born) married Sarah Rowell in 1759. He was a High Sheriff in Hancock County in 1790.
William (the sixth child) was born in Pownalborough. He married Rebecca Snell in 1779. William and Rebecca moved to Solon in the spring of 1783 and became the second white settler in this settlement. The only other white settler living there was William Hilton who had moved to this settlement in 1782. Of interest, William Hilton had also lived in Pownalborough.
When William and Rebecca Hunnewell settled in Solon they lived on a hundred acre lot that later became the property of Zina Norton.
In March of 1777, before William married Rebecca, he enlisted in the Revolutionary War and was on board the Continental Ship Hancock Commodore John Manley when the enemy took it. In 1818 William filed the following Declaration.
I, William Hunnewell, aged sixty-four years, a citizen of the United States, born in Wiscasset, Massachusetts, now a resident in Solon, Maine, upon oath testify and declare that in March 1777 at Boston, I entered on board the Continental ship Hancock Commodore John Manley of thirty two guns, as a marine for the term of twelve months. I served till June 1777 and then was put on board the British ship Fox, which had been taken by the Hancock, and which was ordered for Boston, afterwards, before our arrival at Boston, I was retaken by the enemy's ship Flora and sent to Halifax where I remained about seven months, was then put on board the enemy's ship Royal Bounty and ordered for Newport. After two attempts we succeeded in taking the ship and came into Marblehead, where we arrived in February 1778 and went to Boston where we rec'd our wages. I took no formal discharge but was paid for the twelve months. From my reduced circumstances I need the assistance of my country for support. And I do hereby relinquish all my claims to any pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States, if any, but I am not to my knowledge borne on any pension list whatever. I request that I may be placed upon the pension list for the District of Maine.

On the twenty second day of April A.D. 1818 William Hunnewell above after having carefully examined, made oath to the truth of the foregoing declaration by him signed, the same having been first distinctly read to him.
Before me Nathan Weston, Jr. Chief Just C Court C Pleas Second Eastern Circuit
In those days it was necessary to have someone witness that you were the person applying for the pension and in William's case, Jacob Savage was William's witness and attested to the following.
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
I, Jacob Savage of Anson, District of Maine, of lawful age, upon oath testify and declare that I was a marine on board the Continental Ship Hancock in the cruise above mentioned with the above named William Hunnewell, with whom I am well acquainted. I know that he served, was taken prisoner, and returned and was paid off at Boston, as is by him above stated. From his reduced circumstances he needs the assistance of his country for support; he sustains the character of a man of truth.
Finally on June 27, 1820 William appeared before the Circuit Court for hearing on his pension.
STATE OF MAINE
Somerset County, ss.
On this twenty-seventh day of June 1820, personally appeared before Ebenezer Thatcher, a Justice of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Counties of Lincoln, Kennebec and Somerset, being a Court of Record for said Counties, proceeding according to the course of the common law, having original jurisdiction, unlimited in amount, keeping a record of their proceedings, and having the power of fine and imprisonments, William Hunnewell aged nearly 70 years, resident of Solon in the County of Somerset, within said circuit, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, declare that he served in the Revolutionary war as follows, viz, in the Navy of the United States upon the Continental Establishment, for the period of twelve months, on board the ship Hancock Commodore John Manly, that his original declaration was made before Judge Weston on the 22nd day of April 1818; that he is now on the Maine Roll, and that his pension certificate is numbered 6025. And I, the said William Hunnewell, do further solemnly swear, that I was a resident citizen of the United States, on the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred eighteen; and that I have not, since that time by gift or sale, or in any manner whatever, disposed of my property, or any part thereof, with intent thereby so to dimish, as to bring myself within the provision of an act of Congress, entitled, "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War" passed on the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen; and that I have not, nor has any person in trust for me, any property or securities, contracts or debts, due to me, nor have I any income, other than what is contained in the schedule hereto annexed, and by me subscribed.

William Hunnewell died on August 23, 1820, two months after filing his application for pension.
Eighteen years later Rebecca (William's widow) applied to the State for "half pay and pension". This application reads:

Israel, Jr (Israel's seventh child) paid his father ten pounds for land in Pownalborough. This could be good or bad. On one hand Israel had a roof over his head for the rest of his life, but it also meant that Israel, Jr. had to work the land for the rest of his life. This is Israel's deed to his son, Israel, Jr.
Know all men by these presents that I, Israel Honeywell of Pownalborough in the County of Lincoln, in consideration of the love and affection I have for my son Israel Honeywell, as also in consideration of ten pounds paid me by him, the receipt whereof I hereby acknowledge, do hereby give, grant, bargain, sell, convey and confirm to my said son, Israel and his heirs the farm I now live on, bounded as follows, viz: beginning at an hemlock tree on Monswegue River between where Honeywell and Sloman now live, then north eighty-seven degrees East one hundred and six poles and a quarter to a stake twenty-two poles to the end of the neck to high water mark, thence Northerly by the shore to the first mentioned bounds, containing eighty-six acres with the privileges and appurtenances thereof.
To have and to hold the same to him, the said Israel Honeywell, Junr. his heirs and assigns to his and their sole use forever. And I hereby covenant and agree with the said Israel, Junr. his heirs and assigns, that I am lawfully seized in fee of the premises, that they are free of all incumbencies, that I have good right to dispose of them same as above, and that I will warrant and defend the same to the said Israel Junr. his heirs and assigns forever against the claims of all persons. In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal the thirteenth day of July A.D. 1775.

Israel's eighth child, Thomas, (my great, great grandfather) was born in Pownalborough in 1756 and like William, the Wiscasset area became too crowded for him and he moved north and settled in 7 Mile Stream, a few miles from Solon where William lived.
CHAPTER 2THOMAS HUNNEWELL (My Great, Great Grandfather)
Thomas, my great, great grandfather enlisted in the Revolutionary War in April 1777 where he became a prisoner of war for seven months. Thomas married Molly Dean in Pownalborough in 1781. Molly Dean was the daughter of Ebenezer Dean. The following are Thomas and Molly's 10 children:

Nine of the children were born at 7 Mile Stream and at some point after 1797 Thomas moved to Solon to be nearer his brother, William. Thomas and Molly's last child, Herman, was born in Solon.
In 1818 Thomas, filed a Declaration to be placed on the Pension List. This Declaration reads:

In performance of a contract with you; and/or
compliance with a legal obligation; and/or
vital interests of the data subject; and/or
where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
We may also use your personal data in the following situations, which are likely to be less common:
where we need to protect your interests (or someone else’s interests);
where it is needed in the public interest or for official purposes.
In respect of all disclosures of personal data, we will only share the personal information which is necessary for the particular purpose for which it is provided, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, and we will ensure that the personal data is appropriately protected.
In respect of special categories of personal data, we may process this in the following circumstances:
in limited circumstances with your explicit written consent; and/or
where we need to carry out our legal obligations and in line with our policies; and/or
where it is needed in the public interest (such as for equal opportunities monitoring or in relation to our occupational pension scheme), and in line with our policies; and/or
where it is needed to assess your working capacity on health grounds, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards.
Less commonly, we may process this type of information where it is needed in relation to legal claims or where it is needed to protect your (or someone else’s) interests and you are not capable of giving your consent, or where you have already made the information public. We may also process such information about our people (or former people) in the course of our legitimate business activities with the appropriate safeguards.
The special categories of personal data may be used in the following ways:
in relation to leaves of absence, to comply with employment and other laws;
in relation to your physical or mental health, or disability status, to ensure your health and safety in the workplace and to assess your fitness to work, to monitor, manage and administer benefits and absences;
in relation to your race, national or ethnic origin, religious, philosophical or moral beliefs, or your sexual life or sexual orientation, to ensure meaningful equal opportunity monitoring and reporting.
DISCLOSURE:
Personal data may be transferred to service providers who support the operation of our business (such as payroll service providers), to other third parties reasonably necessary in the conduct of our business (including insurers, professional advisors, regulators). These third parties may be acting as processor, or controller of personal data in their own right.
In respect of all disclosures of personal data, we will only share the personal information which is necessary for the particular purpose for which it is provided, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, and we will ensure that the personal data is appropriately protected.
RETENTION PERIOD:
We will keep personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. We will normally keep personal data of applicants who we do not employ for six months after we receive it.
We will keep personal data of employees throughout your employment and normally for a minimum of six years after your employment ends.
Changes to your personal data
It is very important that the personal information that we hold about you is accurate and current. Please tell us if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
Data Security
We have put in place measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those of our people and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and where they have agreed to treat the information confidentially and to keep it secure. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and the ICO of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
Where we store your personal data
We principally store data, both electronically and on file, at our office.
Personal data may be transferred outside of the EEA by processors acting on our behalf. For transfers to countries not considered adequate by the EC, we will ensure that personal data is adequately protected, as required by the GDPR. This would include by use of the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EC to protect personal data.
