• Notes

  Ethel Stanwood Bolton states, "In 1814, Mr. Stanwood was appointed to Engine No. I, of the Gloucester Fire Department, the 'Volent.' That same year the engine-house was razed to the ground by the soldiers who were returning from the Cape. This was caused by the fact that some firemen, exempt from military duty, had jeered at the soldiers. In 1832 and 1833, he was a member of the Board of Fire Commissioners, and in 1849 was made chief...It is interesting that in 1864, in the great Gloucester fire, the house owned by Captain Richard G. Stanwood, a two-story dwelling in the rear of Nos. 167 and 169 Front Street was burned. This was supposed to have been the house of the emigrant Philip Stanwood, but absolute proof seems lacking."
