One of their sons, Archibald McPheters, b. 7 Dec 1738, was something of an adventurer, and moved about in what is now the State of Maine, beforesteeling on the Penobscot River at what they called Sunbury, but was later officially called Bangor. He was one of the official original settlersthere. He and his wife, Sarah Stewart, had nine children, one of whom was Archibald McPheters (or McPhetres) Jr., b. ca 1764. He was apparentlyalso born in Georgetown before the family moved up to the Penobscot River to where Bangor now stands.

During the Revolutionary War, both Archibald Sr. and Archibald, Jr, served with the Continental forces at fort built on the Penobscot River at whatis now Orono, (to keep British forces from slipping down the river from Canada and taking Bangor). The War ended at Yorktown, VA, but it took twoweeks for the word to reach the fort at Orono, Maine, so the men were paid extra for those two weeks.

It appears that after the war, several of the children of Archibald McPheters, Sr. moved to the Orono area, including Archibald McPheters, Jr.
