I have understood that he walked up and back a couple of times, it was about 150 miles from Castine, and a good part of the way through the woods. His first lot of land was near Presque Isle and is now (1955) known as the Hayden Farm. He hadn't cleared away land but built a log cabin on it and was working away hewing timber, as he was an expert axman, and when he came home he found his cabin burned down. Then he went back to Castine to work in the shipyard again. The later he went back again and took up another lot in the town of Easton, and lived there until he died at the age of 86."
