History
She adopted the French name Mathilde and bore him 10 children. By the late 1760s, farmers, artisans, and small traders were beginning to take title to properties in and around "Major Baggadoose." Though the fur trade was long dead, the region's abundant fishery and timber attracted not only entrepreneurs, but also the attention of the British government, which was always on the lookout for store to supply its growing navy. Bagaduce was especially valuable for supplying Eastern White Pine suitable for mast (sailing) on British warships. The failed Penobscot Expedition, which cost the revolutionaries eight million dollars, proved to be the greatest United States Navy naval defeat until Pearl Harbor in 1941. William Bradford personally traveled there to claim it.
