• Notes

  Eben Hamor's manuscript, and the FamilySearch "Maine Birth" database list Ambrose's name as Jason Ambrose. However, his name is consistently listed as Ambrose throughout census records, and in adulthood, using a middle initial of H, which has been accepted as his name for this history. The LighthouseDigest.com stated, "Ambrose H. Wasgatt...was the keeper at Egg Rock 1875-1885 and then transferred to Prospect Harbor where he served from 1885 to 1924 for a total of 49 years."
