Joseph Frye, a renowned military leader from Colonial Maine, obtained the rank of General in the British Army after serving his nation exemplarily in the Seven Years' War. His namesake, a small settlement entitled "Fryeburg", was established as a result of the territorial gains he and his company won during that conflict. Joseph Frye is best known for the role he played in expanding the colonial frontier into both formerly French lands and formerly Abenaki lands. He is regarded as the successor of John Lovewell, and also an enemy of native Molly Ockett, leader and sage among dispossessed Algonquian peoples.
