INDEX You will find an index at the beginning of each GENERATION.
I cannot claim to be a "genealogist", however, I have attempted to
research families in my background, as well as those of my husband.
I began collecting & recording this information as early as 1967,
partly because my sons were not aware if or how they were related to
other persons, & I doubt that they are yet aware or are interested to
any great extent at the present time. Perhaps someone following my
generation will again show interest in this subject of Family Trees &
will find my research of some value or interest.
I am using the Roots III program so the individual numbers are
automatically assigned by this program. Page 1, the number 1 has
been assigned to Dominicus SEWELL, therefore, the number 2 will be seen
in the next generation. 2 iii Nicholas SEWELL does not appear
elsewhere.
NEW BRUNSWICK HISTORICAL TIDBITS
by Mitch Biggar, Sept, 1999 Bugle:
On the St. John River 1762-1770-
A number of British settlers came to the St. John River, some were
traders, others were retired military officers. As early as 1762 a
band of New Englanders settled Oromocto Island. In 1763 a band of
settlers from Massachusetts found their way up the St. John River &
established a township, which they named Maugerville. Joshua Mauger
was the English agent through whom they obtained the land.
This settlement included what is now Maugerville & Sheffield &
by 1765 General Thomas Gage & 19 of his friends from New York were
given a grant of 20,000 acres where the French Settlement of Grimross
had been. Two years later the grant was transferred to Stephen KEMBLE
but continued to be called Gagetown. In the vicinity of what is now
Westfield, Captain Beamsley Glasier was given a grant of 5,000 acres.
At the mouth of the river at Fort Frederick was a garrison under
the command of Captain Gilfred Studholme. On 28 Aug. 1762 James
Simonds, Richard Simmons, Hugh Quinton, Francis Peabody and James
Quinton arrived from Haverhill, Massachusetts. In 1764 they were
joined by William Hazen, James White, & thirty others. In 1765 the
Council of Nova Scotia gave John Anderson & Capt. Isaac Caton a
licence to trade with the Indians on the St. John River. Anderson
established his trading-post at the mouth of the Nashwaak while Caton
settled on the Island of Emenenic which has ever since been called
CATON'S ISLAND.
During this time the Acadians were also given permission to return
to New Brunswick provided that they take the oath of allegiance to the
British Crown. In 1766, 800 came from Boston, upon their arrival some
settled at St. Anne's Point while others settled at Saint John. Three
years later in 1770 Lieu. William Owen brought a colony of 30 settlers
to Campobello. There were also scattered settlements of New England
fisherman along the coast of Charlotte County & the islands of the Bay
of Fundy"
