136. Capt. James Budge

"Mr. Budge was a prominent man at this time in the Plantation, as may be supposed from the positions he occupied. He was the owner of the lot where he lived, --the City Point lot, --containing one hundred acres, with the point which, during that generation, was familiarly known as Budge's Point. As has been said, he was a man of much business ability; and he was a ready and fluent speaker. He succeeded Captain Edward Wilkins as captain of the militia company organized after the Revolutionary War below the Penjejawock Stream, Mansell being captain of that above. Physically he was rather stout. " (History of Penobscot County Maine)

"Mr. Budge and Mr. Smart agreed to gave an acor of Land to the town to Set the meating house on;" (History of Penobscot County Maine)

“He was a man of strong intellectual powers, rather a good scholar, and something of a poet; wrote a great deal, made some excellent poetry—but rum, that demon rum, which destroys its thousands every year, destroyed him, got the mastery over him, and probably ruined him for this world and for that which is to come.” (History of Penobscot County Maine)
