Note Captain James Woodside was the son of Reverend Joames Woodside (First Dunboe Presbyterian Church in Articlave) who came from Derry County in Ireland to Brunwick, Maine who reported to the Crown on the conditon of the colony in Maine comprising Irish shipped to Maine and impressed into service.
