Jeremiah
was born 1753 in Exeter, NH to Samuel and Mary (Ladd) Dudley. He came to Hallowell, Maine with his father and family sometime before 1774 and then moved on to Winthrop where he enlisted in the Revolutionary War at the very beginning. He served at Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point
under Colonel Arnold. He marched to Quebec with Benedict Arnold in 1775 and
suffered from rheumatism in later years, which he attributed to that march.
He returned about 1780 to Winthrop and brought his bride, Elizabeth Turner of Penobscot County with him. They stayed for a
short time before moving on to Pittston 1790 U.S. Census Pittston 1-2-3-0-0. They moved on to Bangor, and eventually went west
to New York with his family in 1813. While in Bangor he was the first to build
a sawmill on the Kenduskeag River. He died in Bath, N.Y. 10 Nov 1838 at age 85years.
