-(notes of Andrew G. Littlefield):John kept a journal which is now held by the Wells-Ogunquit Historical Society. In this journal he recorded family events and events from the Revolution, including the Convention at Saratoga. His son John (6) and John's (6) son Josiah (7b) alsowrote in this journal, which makes it very confusing to read and has many conflicting dates. Eventually I intend tohave a copy of it on-line.John fought in the Revolution and obtained the rank of Lt. Colonel. He was at Saratoga. His miltary record is:Major, 2nd York Co. regiment, MA militia; commissioned 30 Aug 1775.Chosen 1st Major, York Co. regiment, MA militia; commissioned 22 Apr 1776.Major, Lt.
