He also fought in the Battle of Grand Pre (1747). He accompanied John Winslow on his expedition up the Kennebec River and participated with him the following year in the Battle of Fort Beauséjour (1755) where he was wounded. He then participated in the Cape Sable Campaign. After the British took control of the Saint John River, they took control of the final river the Penobscot. Preble became commander at the newly built Fort Point(formally Fort Pownal) on the Penobscot River (1759).He was also active in the American Revolution. Stephen Longfellow, third son of Stephen (1) and Abigail (Thompson) Longfellow, was born in Byfield, Massachusetts, February 7, 1723, and died at Gorham, Maine, May 1, 1790. He was a bright boy, and was sent to Harvard College where he took his first degree in 1742, and his second in 1745. He taught a school in York, and went from there to Falmouth (now Portland), Maine. Mr. Longfellow arrived in Falmouth, April 11, and opened a school six days afterward; it was probably the grammar school. He continued to be the principal instructor in the town until he was appointed clerk of the court on the division of the county in 1760. He held many important and honorable offices in Portland. He was town clerk twenty-two years; clerk of the first parish twenty-three years; clerk of the proprietors of common lands for many years, and was the first to hold the offices of clerk of the judicial courts, and register of probate for the county, which offices he held for sixteen years."
