  Notes	Jabez and others of Stow joined the army distined for Canada during the French and Indian War. Jabez had the rank of ensign. He later served in the Revolutionay War as an adjutant. His oldest son, Thaddeus was also in the war. Shortly after the Revolutionary War ended, the migration of many Stow citizens to what is now Waterford, Maine began. This was a tract of land given to soldiers and heirs of soldiers who had fought in a company from Middlesex and Worcester Counties in the Canadian Expedition in 1690. TAKEN from "History of Waterford, Maine" by Warren, 1897: The boundary line of the town of Waterford, a township seven miles square, were laid out in 1775. The lot and range lines were run the following summer by Jabez Brown of Stow, Massachusetts, and Col. Joseph Frye of Fryeburg plus 10 assistants. Three of Jabez's sons took up land here: Thaddeus, L8, R7; William, L8, R7; and John, L9,R8. However, John didn't stay long and sold his land to William. It seems Jabez didn't settle here but returned to his home in Stow. The "History of Stow" mentions him surveying the line between Stow and Sudbury in the 1790's.
