"Rev. Ezekiel Emerson, a Free Will Baptist was one of the earliest settlers at Georgetown on the Kennebec River. He lived and preached at Georgetown and neighboring towns before the Revolutionery War. Ezekiel's children were Ezekiel, John, Holly, Calvin, Luther and Eusebius. He hadsix daughters, a family of 12 children.
"Luther was a lawyer. At one time he came to Machias contemplating establishing a law office, being young and not feeling satisfied, he left, subsequently married and removed to Cincinnati, Ohio. Except Luther, no one of Rev. Mr. Emerson's sons came to Washington County, but Eusebius, who came to Jonesboro in 1819 and settled on Fellow's Point, west side of Chandler's River, three miles below the Falls."

"Mr. Emerson was from Uxbridge, Massachusetts, and in his ordination Rev. Mr. Webb of that place delivered the sermon, Mr. Fish of Upton gave the charge, and Mr. Winship of Woolwich gave the right hand of fellowship.
"Of the old church eight were recognized as members, and in September thirty-seven others were admitted to fellowship. Soon after the house of God was thus set in order there was a great revival of religion, witnessed by the addition of many hopeful converts to the church, so that there appeared more than one hundred communicants. Thus cemented by life-giving religion, his people cheerfully supported him, and for fourteen or fifteen years there was enjoyed mutual happiness and peace.
"But in the midst of the Revolutionary war his salary, which was never more than three hundred dollars, was paid in depreciated paper money, which became at length " of little value "; the public burthens and expenses lay heavily on the people; the towns and settlements on large rivers and navigable waters were exposed to every annoyance from the enemy, and Mr. Emerson was consequently absent from his people about four years. As soon, however, as the voice of peace was heard, he returned to the bosom of his charge, May 1,1783. He continued his ministerial labors till 1811, when he received assistance from Rev. Samuel Sewall, previously of Edgecomb.
"He died November 9, 1815, in the eightieth year of his age. So much was Mr. Emerson's mental powers impaired by age and infirmity during the last years of his life that he lived principally in retirement, quite happy as he was, much beloved and respected. He was a man of peculiarities, though a good sermonizer, and a truly pious minister of the altar. If his compositions did not abound with gems and jewels they were well replenished with golden truths.
"In his parish was the haven of the seas, where the first plantation on the whole coast was attempted, and where the voice of Christian praises was first heard. Georgetown being a most ancient, was a most famous station."
