He put out a sign to notify the weary and hungry that they might find rest and refreshment at his inn. This was the first sign hoisted by any citizen of the town to invite in the needy for refreshment and rest. This sign did duty for many years, and is now carefully preserved by Benjamin Keen, of North Turner, as a memento of the olden time. But the hostelry, to which it invited the weary for rest, has fallen into decay, and nothing remains to mark the place where it stood. ------------ KEEN John of Buckstown m 17 Mar 1785, Priscilla Roberson of Buckstown [VR New Gloucester ME MSA] Children: Josiah Jerusha Thomas b.Jul. 24, 1799 d.Feb. 21, 1858 Anna b. 30 July 1785 Priscilla b. 23 Mar 1787 m.
