| Notes |
Wilbraham Kimball
|
|
was always called Major Kimball because he was a Major in the State Militia, under a commission from the Governor of Massachusetts, of which Maine was then a part. He had ten sons who were born and reared on a farm in Wells and received the common school education provided by the schools of the town.
As there were no daughters, Deborah took each boy into the kitchen to help her, until he was old enough to go out to work, when the next son ws taken in his place. As a result of this training each of them was a good cook, and in the case of need could get up a meal equal to his wife could prepare.
Wilbraham was a ship's carpenter and build 13 vessels between 1817 and 1830. They were schooners, brigs and sloops of between 26 and 145 tons. (See Resources: list of Vessels built by Wilbraham Kimball.) Died of a disease of the liver.
