Francis Joseph Neptune
Francis Joseph Neptune (1735 - 1834) was chief of the Passamaquoddy tribe during the American Revolutionary War. He succeeded his father, Jean-Baptiste Neptune, who died in 1778, and was succeeded by his own son, John Francis Neptune, in 1824.〔 The term "chief" later became the word for governor.〔 Becoming chief is passed along through family lineage and requires acceptance from the Passamaquoddies, Penobscots and Maliseet tribes.〔 These three tribes share similar chief induction ceremonies, conducted simultaneously with eyewitnesses from each tribe present.
==1770s==

During the Revolution, the Passamaquoddies sided with the American colonists to fight against the British soldiers invading the eastern coast of Maine.〔 On June 12, 1775 the tribe assisted the American military in a naval attack at Pleasant Point known as the "Battle of the Rim", or Battle of Machias in Machias, Maine.〔 After gaining permission from the commanding officer, Chief Francis Neptune was the one who fired the first shot, with his flintock rifle,〔 at the Battle of the Rim. That shot instantly killed the British warship's captain, British Admiral Cox〔 causing the British army's crew members to run amok.〔 With the warship, ''Margaretta'',〔 in chaos, the Native American soldiers along the riverbank fired numerous rounds of gunshots.〔 The British involved in this battle quickly surrendered.〔 The involvement of the Passamaquoddies was crucial for boundary of Maine. Roughly 200 Passamaquoddies were soldiers in the Revolutionary War serving under Chief Francis Neptune's orders.〔 George Washington proclaimed a "pledge of friendship" after the success of the Passamaquoddy people's efforts in battle.〔 On Christmas Eve of 1776 George Washington wrote to the tribe in hopes that they would come to the aid of the colonies by sending warriors and ensuring Passamaquoddy boundaries along the Canada and Maine border.〔〔 According to Colonel John Allan, the man whom the Passamaquoddies served under, noted in his journal that Chief Joseph Francis earned £4 for his participation in the Battle of Machias
