INDEX

[39689] "Biographical review : containing life sketches of leading citizens of Somerset, Piscataquis, Hancock, Washington, and Aroostook counties, Maine (1898)", pp. 184-186: "Hosea B. Wardwell, who owns and occupies one of the oldest farms in Penobscot, Hancock County, son of Robert and Sylvia (Wardwell) Wardwell, was born in this town, June 5, 1830. His first ancestor in this country was Thomas Wardwell, who arrived in Boston from Eng-land in 1633. Samuel Wardwell, son of Thomas, born in Boston, May 16, 1643, married Sarah Hawkes, and was hanged for witch-craft at Salem, on September 22, 1692. Eliakim Wardwell, son of Samuel, born in Andover, Mass., August 17, 1687, became an early settler in York, Me. He married Ruth Bragdon, who was a victim of the religious bigotry of her time. For refusing to attend the Established Church she, with other mem-bers of her family, was repeatedly fined, until rendered destitute of the actual necessities of life. It is related that on a Sabbath day, while so reduced, she entered the church during service in a nude state; and, after telling the congregation that her sorrowful condition was the result of the frequent fines imposed upon her, she solemnly invoked the curse of God upon the entire assembly. For this offence she was publicly whipped to the extent of thirty-five lashes upon her bare back. Daniel Wardwell, son of Eliakim and the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in York, April 17, 1734. In 1774 he moved his family to Penobscot, and, settling upon a tract of wild land, made the first clearing upon the farm which is now owned by his great-grandson. Indians were then nu-merous, though not troublesome; and wild game was abundant in the immediate neighborhood. Daniel Wardwell married Sarah Staples. The grandfather, Jeremiah Ward-well, son of Daniel and a native of York, accompanied his parents to Penobscot. Besides the homestead, to which he succeeded, he acquired large tracts of adjoining land, owning at one time a fourth part of the township, the original survey of which was made by him, being an assistant to John Peters. He also built the first frame house in the town. A painting of the old place, as it appeared in his day, is now in the possession of his grand-son. He served as Captain of the First Company, Second Regiment, Second Brigade; and his commission, signed by Governor Hancock, is another of the family heirlooms. Also active in civil affairs, he served as Represent-ative to the General Court of Massachusetts in the years 1803 and 1804. His diary, containing a record of current events, is also preserved. The following entry taken from it, dated February 16, 1773, will serve to show the opinion of good men in his day concerning an article of merchandise now looked upon as a social evil: 'Frozen in the ice between Long Island and Bagaduce Point. Out of provisions, out of patience, out of tobacco, and, worst of all, out of rum.' Jeremiah Wardwell married Elizabeth Banks, a daughter of Aaron and Mary (Perkins) Banks. They were the parents of twelve children, the majority of whom reared large families. Robert Wardwell, the father, was born in the same room wherein took place the birth of his son, Hosea B. In his young days he taught school. Eventually he returned to the homestead, which was given to him with the understanding that he should provide a home for his mother during her life, an agreement that was scrupulously kept. He and his son, Hosea B., built the present house; and he afterward resided in it until his death, which occurred in the eighty-first year of his age and on the sixtieth anniversary of his wedding. He was a prominent figure in local affairs, and served with ability in all of the principal town offices. His wife, Sylvia, also a native of Penobscot, was a daughter of Daniel Wardvvell, second, and therefore his cousin. She survived him about eleven years. Of their eleven children, Hosea B., Virginia, Sylvia, and Annette are living. Annette is a resident of Brockton, Mass. The others died as follows: Sarah at the age of thirty-seven, Addison at forty-two, Ezra at seventy-three, Robert at seventy-six, Mary at forty-five, Augusta at sixty-nine, and Mercy at fifty-one. Hosea B. Wardwell began his education in the district schools of Penobscot, and completed it at the high school in Castine. Afterward he taught school for various lengths of time in ten different towns of Hancock and Knox Counties. Since relinquishing that occupation he has devoted his energies to the cultivation of the home farm, which he inherited. He has rendered valuable services to the town as a Selectman and a member of the School Board, and he still displays an active interest in public education. Mr. Wardwell is unmarried. He cast his first Presidential vote for Franklin Pierce, and supported the Democratic party until the nomination of Horace Greeley in 1872. Since that time he has acted independently. He was made a Mason twenty-seven years ago, and has been a Representative to the Grand Lodge of Maine. In religious belief he is a Spiritualist."
