About Jedidiah Preble

Jedidiah Preble (1707–1784) was Captain of Infantry in Samuel Waldo's Regiment, whom he bought land from and settled in Falmouth, Maine. He served in the Siege of Louisbourg (1745). He also fought in the Battle of Grand Pre (1747). He accompanied John Winslow on his expedition up the Kennebec River and participated with him the following year in the Battle of Fort Beauséjour (1755) where he was wounded. He then participated in the Cape Sable Campaign, part of the expulsion of the Acadians. After the British took control of the Saint John River, they took control of the final river the Penobscot. Preble became commander at the newly built Fort Point on the Penobscot River (1759).
