Buxton, York County, Maine

Buxton township was granted by the Massachusetts General Court as Narragansett Number 1 in 1728. It was assigned to Philemon Dane of Ipswich, Massachusetts and 119 other veterans (or their heirs) who had fought in King Philip's War against the Narragansett people in 1675. Settlement was attempted in the early 1740s but abandoned because of the ongoing French and Indian Wars.  ...Wiki Page
