Notes |
- In 1690 he commanded the Cape Neddick, Maine garrison. In 1692, in a deposition, he testified to the "great strength" of the Reverend George Burroughs at the latter's witchcraft trial at Salem, Massachusetts (Ancestry of Robert McIntire, p. 195).
The Court Records of York County, Maine contain several items involving the family of Samuel Webber (Province and Court Records of Maine, Volume 5). In the following paragraphs, numbers in (parens) refer to page numbers in this source. On 1 July 1712, Deberah Webber was witness against Acquilla Hains "for Cursing & Swareing & blaspheming the name of God" (129). On 3 January 1715/6, "Wee present Benjamin Webber & Mehittable Allen now his wife both of york for fornication...they owning to the fact" (173). See son Benjamin below for outcome of this case. In the court session of 2 July 1717 (197), Deberoh Webber Senior was charged with being drunk. Also, a Thomas Webber was charged with "not frequenting the publick Worship of God." In the court session of 1 October 1717 (201), "Whereas Deberoh Webber Senior was presented to the Last Court for being Drunk, And Thomas Webber for not frequenting the Publick Worship of God, And being all apprehended by the Constable, but not Appearing....Answer for their Contempt as the Severall Crimes for which they Stand presented...." [Compilers note: I can not determine the final outcome of these cases].
