Scottish Prisoners and Their Relocation to the Colonies at Geni.com (I am not yet sure of the source for this information at Geni. It looks very similar to the MA Hist. Soc. paper c1927.) “In Kittery Maine, there is a Unity parish, doubtless from the prisoners, who were sent there to work in the sawmills. Approximately 15 Scots worked there. They were as follows: …James Barry“

Nyven Agnew, also called Nivin Agneau, is called “Nivin the Scot” in the Dover tax-list of 1659, shortly after he got his freedom. He administered the estate of James Barry, another Scotchman of South Berwick, Me., about 1676, and lived on the land that Kittery had granted to Barry. Agnew’s will, 16 September 1687, mentions debts due him from James Barry, his predecessor. He divides his property between Peter Grant and John Taylor, two other Scotchmen. In the inventory of his estate is this item, “To a sword that Peter Grant did say he would give ten shillings for.” Neither Barry nor Agnew married. Everett S. Stackpole and Lucien Thompson, History of the Town of Durham, New Hampshire (Oyster River Plantation) (Published by vote of the Town, 1913), 1:76.

July 1, 1703, John Key senior, aged about 70 years, deposed that James Barry, Niven Agnue and John Taylor owned in succession a farm in upper Kittery, now South Berwick. Stackpole, History of the Town of Durham, 1:81.

Probably worked at sawmills in Kittery, Maine, “on the Asbenbedick, now Great Works, River in which Becx and Co. of London had an interest” under Richard Leader, former manager of ironworks. In the same year when Leader left, “grants of land were made to some of them [the Scots exiles] in 1656, indicating that they had been released.” Others in this group included Niven Agnew, Alexander Cooper, William Furbush, Daniel Ferguson, Peter Grant, George Gray, William Gowen, David Hamilton, Thomas Holme, John Key, Alexander Maxwell, John Neal, John Ross, John Taylor, William Thomson, and James Warren.” Charles Banks, “Scotch Prisoners Deported to New England by Cromwell, 1651-1652,” Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society 61 (1927): 15.

See: Diane Rapaport, “Scots for Sale, Part II: Scottish Prisoners in Seventeenth-Century Maine and New Hampshire,” New England Ancestors (Holiday 2004), 27, which discussed James Barry and his close friend, Niven Agnew: One of Agnew’s closest friends, Scotsman James Barry, died during an Indian 5 attack in 1675. Agnew administered the estate, not only taking possession of Barry’s farm below the Great Works, but also marrying his friend’s widow. When Agnew died childless, about 1687, his will granted all of his property to two daughters of Scottish neighbors John Taylor and Peter Grant.

– End of Generation List –

John Neal (abt. 1632-1704)
B. Craig Stinson, May 25, 2018
In 1660 fellow Unity prisoner John Neal settled just south of Daniel Ferguson. In fact, so many of the Unity Scots settled in this vicinity that the area on both sides of Furbish became known as the Parish of Unity. In 1675 Unity bore the brunt of a Wampanoag attack during King Philip’s War. Sporadic attacks continued until 1690, when the Abenaki burned many homes and garrisons throughout the Parish of Unity. The Neal garrison, now headed by John’s son Andrew Neal, survived these attacks. This fortified home was located very near the present-day intersection of highways 101 and 236 in Berwick, Maine. In 1699 John’s unmarried daughter Amy Neal was “taken captive by Indians,” and later released.

Surname Variations: Warren, Warrin, Warrine, Warron

IMPORTANT UPDATE! (Jul 2018)
According to, Christopher Gerrard, Pam Graves, Andrew Millard, Richard Annis, and Anwen Caffell, Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650, (England: Oxbow Books, 2018), ² on page 252, James is categorized as: Probable [that he is a Dunbar prisoner transported on the Unity] Warren/Warrin, James. Residences: Kittery ME. Appears: 1656. B.c.1621. D.1702. Worked at Great Works sawmill. [Exiles; Banks; DR; SPOWS; Ch.7 & 8; App.B] ^{3 4 5 1 6 7} For explanations of the category, abbreviations and references see List of Dunbar prisoners from Lost Lives, New Voices.

First Generation in the New World

1. JAMES¹ WARREN, was born in Scotland about 1621 and died at Kittery, York, Maine in 1702. His Last Will was proved 24 Dec 1702. He married, at Kittery, York County, Maine by 1654, MARGARET (_____). Margaret was born in Ireland. There are references for a previous marriage between James¹ Warren and Griselda Hull. (SEE NOTES ON PAGE 2) ^{8 9 10}

Biographical Notes:
Note that this is not the James Warren who was the grandson of the Mayflower descendant Richard Warren that lived in Plymouth.
“…on the authority of his daughter Grisel, says: “He was born in Berwick, Scotland.” ¹¹ (even though there is a source for the information, it’s accuracy has been questioned and as mentioned on the top of the profile page, any visitor should personally verify all information). “James Warren settled in Kittery, in the upper part of the town, now South Berwick. The original settlement was at Quampeagan Falls, Great Works River, which was incorporated as the Parish of Unity. The Parish of Unity was also sometimes called Quampeagan Landing, which is now South Berwick.” ¹² “Warren seems to have been a natural leader in the Scottish community serving as a constable and selectman, but his outspoken ways sometimes offended Puritan sensibilities. In 1669 the Court admonished Warren, his wife and other Scotsmen [Including SPOW Alexander Cooper] “for using profane speeches in their common talk.” He was punished in 1674 for “abetting a friend who made insolent remarks to the local militia commander” and in 1685 for “Contempt of Authority and abuse of the Constable” when Warren resisted seizure of “a small beast” for delinquent taxes.” ^{13 14} “James Warren deposed, 13 Sept. 1701, aged eighty years, that he had lived in upper Kittery “near fiftie years” (Court Files at Alfred, Me., Box 1694-1701). He came, then, in 1651, when Richard Leader brought his Scots from the Lynn Iron Works to run the saw-mill at Great Works.” ⁸ “There was lotted and laid out to him, 15 July 1656, land on the north side of John Taylor’s lot, “by the water side”, fronting on Cow Cove (cited from Kittery Town Records).” ¹⁵ “Cow Cove, a charming inlet to the river below the lower landing, preserves the tradition that the first cows brought to Maine and New Hampshire were landed here, and Cow Cove is the river front of the farm of James Warren first, in 1656; Mr. Stackpole says: “It embraces the whole front of the Warren farm.” ¹⁶ (SEE IMAGE ON PAGE 2)

Biographical Notes:
Grizel is mentioned several times in the book by E.S. Stackpole, History and Genealogy of the Stackpole Family which help form an image of her complicated life. “Mary Madeleine Warren, daughter of James of Berwick, Scotland and Margaret (an Irishwoman), born 6, March 1662, in New England, taken in War 18 June 1689; baptized 9 May 1693; married 1^st Richard Theys (Otis)…” She was “his third wife. He and a daughter were killed in the Dover massacre of 1689, and Grizel and her babe, Margaret were carried as captives to Canada…” Later, she married again on “15 Oct. 1693 Philip Robitaile, in Montreal, in the service of M. de Maricour.” The book goes on to say “Grizel lived to the age of 89 years and was buried 27 Oct. 1750, having had five children by her second marriage.” ³⁷ The book by Orin Warren Warren, a genealogy of the descendants of James Warren who was in Kittery, Maine 1652-1656 tells a similar history of Grisel and Richard Otis, “a blacksmith in Dover, N.H. He and their dau. Hannah were killed in the Dover massacre, by the Indians, the morning of June 28, 1689, while Grisel and her babe Margaret, three months old, with others, were carried as captives to Canada. Grisel was instructed by French Catholic priests, bapt, in the faith of that church, and she was given the name of Mary Madeline and her babe that of Christine… There she lived and died in Canada; was buried Oct. 27, 1750. She had five children.” ³⁸ (ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON PAGE TWO)

It recalls that after the death of her first husband on “26 Feb 1713, she was not permitted to have her children, who were brought up in a convent. She returned to her friends in Dover, N.H. and married Capt. Thomas Baker of Northampton, Mass., by whom she had seven children.” ^{30 39}

First Generation in the New World

1. GEORGE¹ GRAY, was born, presumably in Scotland, about 1625-30* and died in Maine on 25 July 1693. He is buried at South Berwick, Maine. He married, at Kittery, York County, Maine in July 1672, SARAH (_____), New England Marriages to 1700. [POSSIBLY COOPER², the daughter of ALEXANDER COOPER, Sarah Cooper was born at Kittery in 1656 and died at Kittery in 1726.] Sarah (_____) Gray, married, second, after 30 Aug 1693 and before 4 Jan 1697/8, FRANCIS HARLOW. “HARLOW, Francis & [Sarah GRAY], w George; aft 30 Aug 1693, by 1698; Kittery, ME {Kittery 475; GDMNH 284, 300}”³ On 04 Jan 1697/8 Court Sessions at York, Maine: “We present ffrancis Herloe for swearing he would cut his wiues throat.”⁴
THERE IS NO PRIMARY SOURCE FOR SARAH being a COOPER.

Biographical Notes:
1. According to, Christopher Gerrard, Pam Graves, Andrew Millard, Richard Annis, and Anwen Caffell, in, Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650, (England: Oxbow Books, 2018),⁵ on page 250, George is categorized as: Probable [that he is a Dunbar prisoner transported on the Unity] Gray, George. Residences: Upper Kittery ME. Appears: 1659. D.1693. Acquires land in Kittery at about the same time as Scots likely to have been prisoners, and is closely associated with them. [Exiles; Banks; DR; SPOWS; Ch.7 & 8; App.B]^67891011For explanations of the category, abbreviations and references see List of Dunbar prisoners from Lost Lives, New Voices.

Biographical Notes:
Joanna the daughter listed as the first child is not Alexander’s. Elizabeth had 2 children out of wedlock – Ebenezer whose father was Mainwaring Hilton and Joanna whose father was Thomas Ball. Also there are 3 listing for a Nehemiah. Even if the 1st child died and they named a second the same, the dates look really off. thanks

SPECIAL NOTICE!
March 2018 from John Demos of South Berwick, Maine:
“To all Gray descendants,
I have been trying to verify the grave site I have sent photos of on Witchtrot Road as George and family. It has become clear that this is not likely the site. I have discovered several old deeds that put George’s “old homestall” to the east of Alexander Cooper’s original grant. These graves are to the west of Coopers and, I believe, are likely a Goodwin plot. Those photos should be removed from this site. But the good news is that we (meaning the Old Berwick Historical Society) now have a good idea where George’s land must have been. I will continue to nail down the proof and, once the snow is gone, we will make a search of the newly identified area to see if we can find any remaining traces of his last resting place. I will keep you updated.Please send me an email to and I can provide copies of the deeds I have found and answer any questions.”

1. Will of George Gray listing his children as Robert, George, Alex and James, no mention of daughter Sarah in this will in 1693.
2. From Doreen Gray today (9 May 2016): “Also, still working on birthplace for George Gray. However, I do have a copy of a birth registry from the Scottish General Register Office. Records: George Gray, April 14,1620, parents Robert Gray and Mrgaret Maddr. Godfathers-Thomas Gray and Thomas Maddr. This George was shown to be from Lanark or the former Lanarkshire (Glasgow). He was shown to be christened at the Glasgow High Church. Still not 100% positive this is our 8x great grandfather. He fits the profile age for the army conscripts of Leslie’s Army-between ages 19-30. Still working on verification.”

“George Gray married the daughter of Alexander Cooper. He was 47 and she was about 16 or 17.” ~ Paula Cummings
George Gray had four sons and one daughter: Robert, George, Alexander, James and Sarah.
“George Gray is my 8th great -grandfather. There is plenty of documentation that shows him arriving at the colonies on the Unity as a Scottish POW from the battle of Dunbar. His life in Scotland however, has proved to be much harder to find. Some researchers believe George was born April 14 1620 to Robert Gray & Margret Madirr. Others believe his father was James Gray. Documentation is scarce and difficult to find for that time period. Visited Scotland’s People Center and Historical Society of Edinburgh with one OPR to support the birth date of 4/14/1620 with a Robert and Margret M. listed as parents. Have hired a genealogist from Scotland to help in search. Resent report looks like links to the Grays of Broxmouth, which was within the Dunbar town boundaries. Estate was taken by Cromwell and used as headquarters before the battle. The battlefield is literally across the road and up a hill from the estate.” ~ Doreen and Gail Gray

George Gray can be found at the Old Berwick Historical Society online site:

“When these young and impoverished prisoners eventually obtained their freedom they stayed, joining the English founding families of a tiny settlement. Among these displaced Scotsmen were said to be Niven Agnew, James Barry, Alexander Cooper, Daniel Ferguson, William Furbush, William Gowen, Peter Grant, George Gray, David Hamilton, Thomas Holme, John Key, Alexander Maxwell, John Neal, John Reed, John Ross, John Taylor, William Thomson, and James Warren (from Downeast Ancestry, Vol. 9, No. 3).”

On 10 September 2016, M. H. Maggelet wrote:
“I haven’t been able to find anything linking our George Gray to a Glasgow birth (purportedly Robert Gray and Margaret Madir), much less any of the nobility of Scotland. I’m a descendent of George via my grandmother Grace Hurley, and her grandmother Nettie Philena Gray (daughter of Loring S. Gray and Philena S. Gray).
While there are tons of documents on the Gray’s of Scotland in online archives and Google Books, linking them specifically to George has proven to be problematic. There are numerous Robert Gray’s, James Gray’s, etc., in the historical records and listings ranging from parish birth and marriage records to legal proceedings (not to mention peerage).
There is evidence in early documents from Maine that he could read and write (in Scots English), while his last will and testament shows his mark.
So, the search for documentation continues. If indeed he has noble lineage, it would be quite fascinating.”

The following is from John Demos on 09 Jan 2018:
A couple corrections.
The pictures of George Gray’s possible grave site is on Witchtrot Rd. near the location of the original George Gray homestead. It is not near my land, which is several miles away, up river. My house and land once belonged to George’s grandson, James and his decedents. Also my research on locating George’s homestead has proven to be much more complicated. The pictures of the graves may belong to Goodwins. I have been through deeds and many maps and cannot nail down where his house was on Witchtrot.
Still working on it.

From Nancy Riley on 18 Nov 2018:
I have Alexander marrying Elizabeth Thompson but I think the children need to be re-visited – Joanna the daughter listed as the first child is not Alexander’s. Elizabeth had 2 children out of wedlock – Ebenezer whose father was Mainwaring Hilton and Joanna whose father was Thomas Ball. Also there are 3 listing for a Nehemiah. Even if the 1st child died and they named a second the same, the dates look really off. thanks
