About Jesse Towne

Jesse moved to Arundel, Maine, where there was a Topsfield colony of considerable size, and was made a proprietor and freeman there in 1728. In 1740 he moved to the neighboring town of Wells, where he was active in the organization of the second parish (Kennebunk) in 1750, being a signer of the petition, an assessor and a member of the committee to treat with Rev. Daniel Little in that year. In 1754, when crossing the river, he broke through the ice and was drowned.
