KENDRICK/HENDRICK - Searching for info re John Kendrick original grantee of
Lot 3, Kingston, Sunbury Co. in 1783. Wife Dorothy (Dorcas), 5 ch. John, Duke Wm., Hiram, Joseph & twin Mary. I am trying to find out if he settled on this Lot or sold it and moved on. He lived in Gagetown from 1767 to 1783 when land taken for loyalist. Any info appreciated. Karen Kendrick Woodworth - email: [email protected]

KINGSTON - Charles Kingston, age 2 in the 1851 census....... I suspect that he is my ancestor, Charles Sylvester King, born April 1848. The first I can find of my Charles is in the 1870 US census in Pennsylvania, and he's living with Allen and John Nason, brothers who are also from New Brunswick. Charles moved to the US from Canada and was a lumberman. He cut off most family ties and possible shortened his name from Kingston to King. I'd like to either prove or disprove that this is him.

Also his possible aunt (or cousin or?) Permilla Wells and her children James, Harry and Florence. They are in the 1881 census but not sure where they are before that..... but were born in NB. Martha

MACK - Looking for Lavinia Mack, b. about 1813, daughter of (DR?) Jason Mack, wife unknown. Lavinia married Leonard Woodworth about 188. It is listed in the local paper at that time that they were married in Burton Parish. It didn't list her parents like the rest of the marriage announcements did. Trying to prove Lavinia's father Jason Mack is the "seeker" brother of Lucy Mack Smith, mother of Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church. Jason Mack is known to have been married with children, as Lucy mentions his, his wife's and his eldest son's deaths in her memoirs. He have spent years with the Indians of the South Branch of the Oromocto. If he married one of the native peoples, would it have been recorded anywhere? Since Jason was not affiliated with any traditional faith, church records are unlikely. Thank you for any help, tips or leads. email Shawna

MALLORY - I am informed there is a Caleb Mallory buried in Pine Grove Cemetery. I don't see him on your list...but someone walking the Cemetery several years ago mentioned it to me having seen the stone. There was a Caleb Mallory and wife Mary Ferry who had several descendants living near Maugersville. I have been trying to find a full list of Caleb's descendants ...but have turned up very little. Caleb supposedly lived near Eaton's Corner in Quebec for a time but disappeared. His brother, Dr Jonathan Mallory lived Wakefield parish...and was married to a Nevers. Any help would be appreciated.

Aug 18/05 I am following up on Caleb Mallory.....seems he was wanted by the authorities in Rutland Vt after escaping from jail on a counterfeiting charge. I have located a probable descendant, Conroy B Mallory b 1814 Eaton who showe up in Wayne Co OH and later Williams Co OH. A couple of sisters went with him.

I am also looking for Alex Barker Mallory b 1927 and who is buried in the Pine Grove Cem (as is Caleb). I have a list of his children and his wife, Helen Doreen (Delong) Stewart. I am curious to know if his parents were Alexander Hugh Mallory and Georgie Lyons. Alex B Mallory had a son Hugh and another Curtis. Alexander Hugh Mallory was son of Curtis Mallory. Mallory Smith

MOTT / DEWITT - I am trying to obtain any information on George Elisha Mott and/or his wife, Ann Elizabeth Dewitt. She was born about 1840, in Blissville, Sunbury Co.; he was born about 1838 in New Brunswick. It is believed they lived in Sunbury Co. for many years. I have their children as Charlotte M., Elizabeth Jane, David, George Alexander, Mable Aileen, and Alice. My husband is a descendent through Charlotte M. Mott.

Ann Elizabeth Dewitt is the daughter of Jacob Dewitt (b. July 18, 1801, Blissville) and Betty Creekmore (b. abt. 1805, prob. Blissville). Any information would be appreciated. Mary Beth Isacks - [email protected]

Munro/Munroe/Monroe - I have a Jane Munro/Monroe/Munroe born 1800, married Thomas Fletcher Estabrook 25 June 1818 in Maugerville, according to what I have gleaned. My grandmother's notes say only that Martha Eliza Estabrook's mother was "Jane Monroe-- all Scotch. After Estabrook died she married -- Hunter and moved to Hogdon, ME." I cannot seem to extend this line beyond Jane, and would dearly love to. My grandmother's notes also say that She (Martha Eliza) came from Merrimachi in Canada. She remembered the great forest fire there, when people and animals, wild and tame dunked themselves in the river all together to escape the flames. So, with the fire being in 1825, when Martha Eliza Estabrook was 5 years old, and Jane marrying in 1818 in Maugerville, that means the family moved to Miramachi between 1818 and 1825. Does that seem logical? I find Jane's father (do not know for sure, can not document, but other clues point that way) Evan and Thomas Estabrook's father, Ebenezer appearing together on a land grant petition together in Maugerville in 1809, but find no evidence that the petition was granted. I found references to Evan Monroe/Munro/Munroe on the Munro forum to suggest that an Evan Munro had brothers George, Hugh and possibly Gerhardus that received grants side by side in Maugerville, NB. I found George and Hugh grants (1785), but only a petition for the Evan grant. Another ref suggests Evan had children George, John, Evan Jr and Jane. So - with none of it documented, I have a skeleton theory for the next two generations up from Jane, but have not been able to come close to documenting any of it. Any assistance would be most welcome! email Valerie LaRobardier

NASON, Israel - mainly a death date and place of burial Charlene

NEVERS Nathaniel, born 26 May 1778, died in Jan 1842, was a son of Samuel and Anna (Burrell) Nevers of Maugerville. In a deed dated 24 Jul 1815, Nathaniel Nevers, Yeoman, and Hannah his wife, of Lincoln, for 128 pounds, sold to David Nevers of Maugerville, his 1/4 interest in a lot of land in Maugerville. The marriage registers for Sunbury County have not survived, and searches of other sources have failed to uncover a marriage date, or Hannah's maiden name. Her birth and death dates have not been located either. Does anyone know Hannah's maiden name, or anything at all about her? She and Nathaniel were probably married about 1806 for their first child was born about 1807. Was she his only wife? George H. Hayward ; 29 Leeds Drive Fredericton, N.B. E3B 4S7 email George Hayward

PEABODY / BROWN - I'm looking for a gr gr gr gr grandfather/mother of mine. Francis Peabody, I believe died 27 October 1771 in Maugerville, Sunbury County.

PHILLIPS - I am looking for information on John Phillips from Rusagonis. He married Lydia Phillips (descendant of Mathew Phillips, UEL) John was born approx 1811. He had two daughters that I know of. Abigail and Martha Jane. Both daughters married Cowie brothers from Harvey. I have followed Lydia Phillips but I can find nothing on John Phillips. As they both have the same last name I can't help wonder if they were distant cousins. Any small piece of information I can get would be a great help. Joyce Fasquel

QUINN - My great-great grandfather James Quinn, great great grandmother, Sohpie Quinn and their son Alexander migrated to Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1830 from Ireland, where they were all born. No details on the Canadian 1851 census as to whereabouts in Ireland.
My great grandmother, Maggie Quinn was born in 1832 in Fredericton N.B.before marrying a British soldier in 1853 and eventually traipsing around the world with him and in 1869 settling in Melbourne, Australia just after the big gold rushes. I cannot find out anything about her family in Fredericton - no deaths for Sohpie or James----- I would very much like to find out any record of the family arriving in New Brunswick but so far nothing - I am not sure if this is because of limited Canadian records or just my inconpetance!! I cannot even find out why there was quite a large influx into New Brunswick in 1830 - was there an earlier potato famine for example.Any ideas gratefully received. kind regards, Margaret Brookes.

SHANKS / SOWERS Part of my family is the Shanks / Sowers family from Burton, Sunbury County in New Brunswick. I have been able to trace the family back as far as one Charles E Shanks and his family. Charles married Mary E. Sowers and they are both buried in the Burton Courthouse Cemetery together. It is Charles’ family I wish to trace. According to 1881 Census records he was then living with his brothers David and Benjamin, sisters Margaret, Susan, Martha and Charlotte who were all with their widowed mother Elizabeth. The census says they are of Scottish decent, farmers and religion is Weslyan Methodist and living in household number 163. I am trying very hard to find out Elizabeth’s family tree and maiden name as well as whom it was she was married to and when. I am hoping to continue tracing this tree in Scotland, if I can find this information out. email Tanis

Thompson, Aaron b. abt. 1845, m. Emily Grace Welton in 1865 at Hardwood Ridge, Sunbury. Later moved family across the county line to Newcastle Bridge, Queens. About 1888, the family (except for son Jonathan, who went west with several Weltons) relocated to Auburn, Maine. Aaron died there in 1903 and “his body was returned to New Brunswick”. I have no idea who his parents or siblings were, where he was born (though I do know he was born in NB from census records), or where he was finally buried. Any leads, advice or information would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached via e-mail at [email protected] or snail mail at 405 West 23^rd Street #4J, New York, NY 10011. David Scott Drane

Thompson - I’m seeking information about my gr-gr-grandfather, Aaron Thom(p)son, b. bet. the mid-1830s and 1840, NB, to parents of Scottish or Irish extraction (depending on the source). He married Emily Grace Welton in January 1865 in Hardwood Ridge, Northfield Parish, Sunbury County. He worked as a farmer and lumberman. The family was enumerated in Northfield Parish for the 1871 census. The family (minus Aaron) was still there in 1881 living with Emily’s parents, while Aaron was counted in Andover, Victoria County, boarding [?] with Isabella Cameron, age 72, and her daughter-in-law Jessie (both widows). It is unclear if Aaron is related in any way to them, or if he is simply a boarder in that area for work. The family moved across the county line to Newcastle Bridge, Canning Parish, Queens County, at some point in the 1880s and ultimately emigrated to Maine around 1888, eventually settling in Auburn, Androscoggin County, Maine. Aaron died there in 1903 and his death certificate indicates that “his body was shipped back to Newcastle”. Whether this refers to Newcastle Bridge or Newcastle, Northumberland County, is unclear as no burial record has been located. Two pieces of information point to a connection to Newcastle, however. One, an Aaron Thompson was enumerated in the household of James Parker in Chatham, Northumberland, in the 1851 census. He was 15 years old and listed as a servant. Also listed is an Ellen Thompson, age 27, also a servant. The second record is a baptism at the United Church of St. Andrew and St. John in Chatham for an Aaron Thomson, b. 1836, to a Robert Thomson. Robert is also listed as the father of additional children baptized there: Janet McFarlane (1832), Sarah (1834), George (1838) and Isabella (1840). Isabella, however, was offered for baptism by “Mrs. Robert Thompson (widow)”. Finally, there is also a vague recollection by a distant cousin that Aaron may have originally been from the Miramichi area, which could further corroborate this connection to Newcastle. My biggest task, then, is to tie my Aaron to his birth family and discover when his particular branch of the Thom(p)sons came to Canada (and to where exactly). So far, I’ve been unable to connect Aaron to any of the Thom(p)son families in Sunbury, but I have a hunch some family connection (an uncle? a cousin?) brought him there at some point before 1865. Searches of the 1861 census records for almost every county in NB (there are 1 or 2 outstanding) have not turned up any information on Aaron. David Drane

She is not on the True family list in first families. Any help on this brick wall would be greatly appreciated. Also I don't have a death date for James's father James Akerley born on 16 May 1794 and may have died about 1855. He married Elizabeth Corey (Betsy) Dingee on 28 May 1818 in Gagetown and death date for her is also unknown. Is James senior also Captain Akerley ? Hope yoy can help us. Thank you in advance.
