Previously it was known as Towwoh, as the "New Township at the Head of the Berwick"

The Lebanon Town website has this: "It was called Towwoh by the Newichawannock Abenaki tribe, whose main village was further down the Salmon Falls River. On April 20, 1733, the Massachusetts General Court granted Towwoh Plantation to 60 colonists, who first settled it in 1743. The township was incorporated on June 17, 1767, renamed Lebanon after the biblical land of Lebanon" See: https://www.lebanon-me.org/discover-lebanon If the town's information on 1743 settlement is correct then Thomas was not born there. Neighboring Berwick was settled much earlier and became incorporated as a town on June 9, 1713 His DAR entry says he was born in Berwick - but that is only based on submitted genealogies that DAR has approved. Sorry to be a pain - Maine History is of great interest to me.
