Lived in Brewer, Penobscot Co ME. (Penobscot was formed in 1816 from Hancock CO) "Prominent in civic affairs in Brewer Maine." Listed in "AGBI, gen of the Rider (Ryder) fams, by Fremont Rider, Middletown CT 1959 p 85. Holden's Early History

From the "Highlights of the History of Holden, Maine" By the Holden Bicentennial Heritage Committee, 1976 : "In the spring of 1787, a section six miles east from the Penobscot River was surveyed by General John Blake of Wrentham, Massachusetts. That area, now Holden, has borne the names of two states, Massachusetts and Maine; three counties - Hancock, Lincoln, and Penobscot, as well as the town names of East Wrentham, New Wrentham, Orrington, East Brewer and finally in 1852, Holden. At that time it became the eighth youngest town in Penobscot County. A few years before General Blake's arrival, John Brewer of Worcester, Mass., had obtained the consent of the General Court of Mass. to survey a large tract of land in the area, extending from Bucksport to Eddington and known as a part of Township 9. Such was the general location of the future Town of Holden. For purposes of civil government it was first a part of Orrington. In 1812 when the northeast section of that town became Brewer, the future Holden area was designated as East Brewer until incorporated April 13, 1852....The settlers located for the most part on hills so that the corn, their staple food, might be safe from early frost and would ripen....During the period of 1786-1798, these settlers were joined by Isaac Bates, Col. Solomon Blake, Billings Brastow, Daniel Brastow(called "Deo Dat"-Latin meaning "he gives to God"), Nathan Clark, Samuel Cobb, Joseph Copeland, Lemuel Copeland, William Copeland, Asaph Gates, Thomas George, David Gilmore, Jacob Hart, James Hastings, Allen Hodges, Nathan Kingsbury, Abia Pond, Elisha Rider, Elisha Robinson, John Robinson, William Rogers, Zenas Rogers, Newell Shepard and George Wiswell....A description written by Geo. C. Wiswell, a descendant of the pioneer Geo. Wiswell:"They followed a spotted line which was their only guide, about six or seven miles from the Penobscot River, in an unbroken wilderness, and here they built their log cabins and covered them with bark. The first year, they felled some trees and cleared some land, but were not able to raise any crop. Fortunately, some natural meadows which the beavers had made, were found nearby and furnished pasturage for the cows in summer, and in the winter they were kept near the meadow haystack, the owners going by turns to get their milk. In 1788, quite a quantity of Indian corn and rye was raised, which the farmers carried on their backs to the river and boated to South Orrington, to be ground and brought back the same way."...One Emmons Kingsbury purchased the land in 1801 for $250. He cleared the farm and built the house, one of the first three frame houses in that neighborhood. Two years later, Mr. Kingsbury brought his bride, Hannah Rider, from Rider's Bluff to her new home. Over a long period of time the house changed hands several times. Other owners were, in order, Samuel Jones, who later built elsewhere in the neighborhood and a man by the name of Shedd. He in turn eventually sold to Tarvis Hart, a descendant of one of the original pioneers. All owners in recent years have maintained the colonial atmosphere even with the necessary alterations needed for modern living. "
