With the creation of the Province of Massachusetts Bay in 1692, the entirety of what is now Maine became part of that province, we were the Maine district of Massachusetts.

Continental Army Regiments

News of the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775 reached York that evening and Captain Johnson Moulton and over 60 men marched on the morning of April 20 toward Boston. This was the first company that marched from the Province of Maine in the Revolution. The York County Regiment mustered at the same time, under Colonel James Scamman as the 30th Regiment of Foot, with companies from York, Kittery, Berwick, Wells, Biddeford, and Saco. Scamman’s Regiment arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts on May 23. They were present for the Battle of Bunker Hill but due to incorrect orders, did not take part in the fighting. Two men of the regiment were wounded, however. The regiment served through the siege of Boston until the end of December, 1775 when their enlistments ran out. The majority of the regiment reenlisted, with six companies being consolidated with Colonel Phinney’s Cumberland Regiment.
