Biography

In 1723, Col. Thomas Westbrook was appointed to command the forces that year. He came to Winter Harbor [now Biddeford Pool] with a body of men in May, and supplied Fort Mary and the garrisons in the town with men and provisions. The fort was commanded at the time by Capt. Ward. The following extract from the journal of Col. Westbrook furnishes an account of his operations at this place. " May 8th, arrived at Winter Harbor; supplied Capt. Ward with provisions and other stores for his company. Lieut. Dominicus Jordan being here, supplied him with 76 days' provisions for five men posted at his garrison at Spurwink. May 9th, supplied Richard Stimpson with provisions for five men posted at his garrison for 76 days. .... page 159 The Jordan memorial : family records of the Rev.
