Revolutionary War Land Grants and Pension Applications- Henry Flood Buxton, Maine
Elizabeth Lewis wife of Henry Flood was the daugher of Abijah Peco and Rebecca Lewis. Elizabeth married Henry of Buxton, Nov 30, 1780
According to Saco Valley Settlements and Families, Elizabeth was probably born before her father settled in Narragansett, No. 1.
Elizabeth Lewis died April 28, 1779 and her husband then married Jemima Tibbets. Henry died in Buxton Oct 13, 1834. Henry was a Revolutionary War Soldier.
Abijah Peco Lewis born 1730 was a Frenchman (died Abt. 1797 in Buxton, Maine). We do not know from what part of the country he came.
He was kidnapped, and put as a sailor on board a vessel bound to America. The captain, after having made all the use of young Peco that he could in navigating his vessel to America, and fearing the consequences of taking him back to France, got rid of him, in some way, while his vessel was in Portland, Me.
At this time his name was Louis Peco; from some reason of his own, or in consequence of a nick-name, he finally adopted the name of Abijah Peco Lewis, by which name he was married, and ever after known.
In 1755, he was of Gorham, and here on Dec. 27, of that year, married Rebecca Melcher. Their publishment says they were both of Gorham.
Before the year 1775 he moved to Buxton. He was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, and always claimed that he, with Corporal William Irish, whose daughter afterwards married Peco's son, were both engaged in the famous battle of Bunker Hill, on June i7th, 1775
Rebecca Melcher, whom Mr. Lewis married, was the daughter of Edward Melcher, who came to Gorham from Kennebunkport about the year 1750. The Melchers were house and ship carpenters and builders.
