APPLETON James; Aug. 25, 1862; Ipswich (deathplace & birthplace); aged 80; married; Apoplexy; farmer; Son of Samuel & Mary (White) Appleton.
"General James Appleton, son of Samuel (3) Appleton, was born at Ipswich, February 14, 1785. He was an active and conspicuous citizen. His military career began during the War of 1812. He rose through all the grades and became brigadier-general of the Massachusetts militia. He resided in Ipswich and Gloucester in early life and removed to Portland, Maine, where he became prominent in public life, an influential member of the legislature. Although Neal Dow is given credit for being father of the Maine prohibitory law, General Appleton first introduced the measure in a report he made to the legislature in 1837, and was an earnest worker in the temperance movement. After the death of Samuel Gilman Appleton, his brother, he inherited the homestead known as "Appleton farms" at Ipswich and afterwards made his home there. He retained his interest in politics and made a memorable address to the Ipswich soldiers at the railroad station as they started for the front in the Civil War. He died August 25, 1862.
