Campbell
I'm looking for pre-1868 information on John
Campbell. Somewhere around 1868-70 he married Susan
Shaw and they lived in Carleton County until 1882 when
John died (suicide) in Windsor NB. A Carleton Sentinel
article says that he came from the lower St. John area and
census' have indicated that he was born in Nova Scotia of
Scottish descent. Family lore says born in Scotland but
that's only hearsay at this point.
After John died some of his children ended up in Maine and
Massachusetts, don't have any idea what happened to Susan, if she
remarried or not. His son Archie married Minnie
Sewell and lived in several Aroostook County towns until
about 1920 when he moved his family to East Corinth, Maine.

Below some information about my Bell family.
Erastus James Doherty, d. 1945, Carleton Co., NB (Provincial
Archives death index)
Erastus Doherty married Katie Good in 1920 in Carleton Co., NB. (Provincial
Archives marriage index)
William Isaac Doherty, b. 1900, Carleton Co., NB, son of Erastus
James Doherty and Janet Armiena Bell. (Provincial Archives birth index)
1871 census - Aberdeen, Carleton Co., NB:
Isaac Dougherty, 44, b. Ireland, Church of England,
Farmer
Hannah, wife, 32, b. NB, Ch. of E.
Benjamin, son, 10, b. NB, Ch. of E., at school
Thomas, son, 6, b. NB, Ch. of E.

Richard, son, 8, b. NB, Ch. of E.
Lucy, dau., 6, b. NB, Ch. of E.
Minnie, dau., b. May, NB, Ch. of E.
Evidently Erastus dropped his first name and was using his middle
name "James" for the above census. Ten years later he
was back to using his first name again, but just dropped the
"E".
1891 census - Aberdeen, Carleton Co., NB:
Isaac Dougherty, 65, b. Ireland, both parents b. Ireland,

Minnie, dau., 10, b. NB
Lucy Maria Doherty, b. 1874 in Carleton Co.,NB, daughter of Isaac
Doherty and Hanna Maria Segee. (Provincial Archives birth index)
I looked for Isaac and family in the 1851 census for Carleton
County but didn't find them. I couldn't find Isaac in the 1901
census either, but several of his kids were there, married with
families of their own. Susan Wyllie found Erastus' mother,
Hannah Segee, in the 1851 census for Lincoln, Sunbury Co., NB
with her parents and family.
1851 census - Lincoln, Sunbury Co., NB:

Oliver, son, 2, b. 1849 in NB
John SEGEE, 22, b. 1929 in NB, Farmer
Rachel SEGEE, wife of John, 19, b. 1832 in NB
There was a Loyalist, John Segee, b. 1763, d.
1835, married Hannah Elston in 1783. He and his
father Jacob Segee came originally from Maryland in the U.S. They
emigrated to New Brunswick after the Revolution and settled in
Sunbury Co. Thomas Segee above may be a child of John's and may
have named his daughter Hannah after his mother.
The York County, New Brunswick Marriage records show Isaac
Dougherty of Fredericton and Hannah Marie Segee
of Fredericton being married on 19 July 1859 in Fredericton. Wit

Elizabeth in Fredericton.
In the Glassville/ Aberdeen Carleton County News March, 1893 - a

Richmond, just outside Woodstock in Carleton County where they

Alexander My Grandfather was born in Centreville, (Wilmot Parish/Carlton Co.),
in 1877. His parents were John E. Alexander
- (Bn 24 May 1850), & his mother was Jane (Brutt)
- (Bn 14 Dec 1854) both in NB. John and Jane were married 8
July 1875, by Joseph G. Harvey, Baptist minister. (PANB, Carleton
Co. Marriage Records, book B, page 395)...
John and Jane had 3 children:
My grandfather: Byron Clarence (bn 5 Nov 1877),
his brother: William R. (bn 2 April 1880),
and his sister Eva M. (Geneva?), (bn 17 April 1886)...
Johns parents: David Alexander - (bn 1813,
in Scotland), and his mother: Elizabeth (Stickney) - (bn 1814, in
NB).. David and Elizabeth had 8 children, all born in NB:
Amelia (bn 1833) she married Solomon Kitchen on 17 April 1856, in
NB.
George (bn 1835)
William (bn 1837)
Richard (bn 1839)
Jane (bn 1841)
John (bn 1850)
James (bn 1865)
John (bn 1870)
Thomas (bn 1876)
David Alexander entered colony in June of 1832,
-- I haven't been able to
discover which ship he arrived on, or where it may have set sail
from (of course other than Scotland). If you have any idea
where I may find this information, please, please forward
it to me; I would be truly grateful! What I'm
discovering: Lots of records for later than 1832, and a few
before, but none for that year... )
David Alexander died in NB, on 4 Dec 1889, (76yrs)
Elizabeth (Stickney) Alexander also died in NB, on 19 Oct 1892, (78yrs)
Both are buried at the Jacksontown Cemetery.
I have pictures of their headstones, (and quite a few other
relatives also), if you are interested, I'd be more than happy to
e-mail them.
Now, to the other end of this journey: Byron
Alexander (John and Jane's son; my grandfather), married
Elsie Teager, together they had my father, Clyde Byron
Alexander, (bn 10 Dec 1907, in Bremerton Washington).

Eastabrooks / Skaarup
1) Eastabrooks: My mother's Flemish side in
Carleton County.
- 1816 Ebenezer Estabrooks purchased a farm in Jacksontown,
Parish of Wakefield, Carleton County. This would be my
great-great-great grand father. His family members
continued to live in the area including Avondale (Joseph - early
1900's), Waterville (Walter - early 1900's) and presently Wilmot
(Bernard). His father Elijah came to Gagetown, NB in 1785.
A Joseph Estabrooks first arrived in in Boston in 1660. One
hundred years later in the winter of 1761-1762 Ebenezer's father
(my grandfather 5 times removed) Elijah Estabrooks made a
snowshoe journey from Maine through to the St. John River around
Ormocto. He was the first of our Estabrook line to settle
in NB on October 18, 1765. Details of this family history can be
found in the book 'Ticonderoga Soldier, Elijah Estabrooks Journal
1758-1760: A New England Soldier in the French and Indian War' by
Hal Skaarup. ISBN: 0-595-16946-5
Technically, 1816 is the first year an (Ebenezer) Estabrook lived
in Carleton County. (1660's Boston; 1759 Halifax; 1785
Fredericton area: 1816 Jacksontown, Carleton County). I am
told that at one time a reference was made of Estabrook mountain
from among the various hills and mountains in Jacksontown.
(2) Skaarup: My father's Danish side in Carleton
County.
- 1930's Frederick Skaarup senior purchased a farm in
River-de-Chute, NB which was passed to his oldest son also
Frederick. In 1939 Fred senior then purchased another farm
in Charelston, NB which eventually passed to Aage and Carl.
Aage Skaarup continues to live at Mt. Delight Farms.
Grandfather Fred originally immigrated to Canada from Denmark in
the early 1920's and first settled in New Denmark, NB. More
details of the family history can be found in the book 'New
Brunswick Hussar: Corporal Harold Jorgen Skaarup' ISBN:
0595190464. This was also writter by Harold Skaarup.
Both grandfathers fought against each other in the first world
war and later ended up living on farms next to each other. Later
during the second world war my uncle Harold was killed and his
name can be found on the Woodstock cenotaph.
Please free to email me for any questions.
A third book __references a world war one diary
that was kept by Walter Ray Estabrooks of
Wilmot, NB (1889 - 1980's born and buried in Waterville, NB).
The book is called 'Whiz-Bangs and Woolly Bears'
ISBN: 0-595-09883-5 by Hal Skaarup. The Whiz-Bang
connection relates to grandfathers' artillery experience during
the war. He faced the same Whiz Bang 77mm type gun as is on
display at the Woodstock Cenotaph. The author offers a short
background.
"Whiz-Bangs and Woolly Bears is a story about a soldier of
the Great War and his experiences as an artillery gunner in
France. I used to listen carefully to his stories while we worked
on his farm in Carleton County, New Brunswick. He had kept a
diary during the war, and I later had a chance to look at it.
The short entries did not begin to describe the horrors of the
Western Front in 1917 and 1918. As I grew older, I began to write
him to ask about the details. He responded to questions about
major battles in this example: "Passchendaele was just one
glorious mudhole. We were there 42 days. Kept 24 men on the guns
and lost 42 in the time, an average of one a day." This is
the essence of what Whiz Bangs and Woolly Bears is about. It is a
running discourse between a grandfather, Walter Ray Estabrooks
and his grandson Hal Skaarup ...
Although the story is essentially about Walter Estabrooks and his
experiences during the Great War, it is also about the fact that
he lived to tell the tale. So many did not. (Hal Skaarup)

Donnelly
Update:
Amendment to April 9, 2002 Query
Hi again!
I am so terribly SORRY to all you! I made a snap judgement on
Sarah Jane Price. She is NOT my GGrammy! Their was two of them in
Carleton. My Sarah's Father is Coke Price. I
wanted to let everyone know. I am so very sorry. I did find my
Sarah, she is buried in York County. I
have not found my GGranddad Elroy "Elby" Donnelly
though. Sarah Jane "Jennie" Price-Donnelly died at a
early age, leaving very young children at home.
GGranddad Elby is still a mystery. I have searched for
months. GGranddad Elby went to Doaktown after her death and after
that there is no trace of him. He was the oldest of my many
siblings too. Does this ring a bell with anyone out there? I
believe he remarried around 1920's or so. I would so appreciate a
small lead of any kind. Thank you in advance! I wish everyone
Good Luck in there searches too.

Woodstock & Knowlesville Towns
I have hit deadends looking for my GGrandparents. My GGranddad
came from Ireland in the 1880's it is to believed. I know he had
my Grandfather in Woodstock in 1903. His name is Allen
Elroy Donnelly. My GGrammy was born in Knowlesville and
was a twin. My GGrammy's name is Sarah Jane Price and
her twin is Sadie Ann. My GGranddad's name was Elby
Donnelly. Now with an unique name like that you would
think I would have no trouble locating something. I know am lead
to believe that it could be possible that it might be a
middle name and that the last name could be mis-spelled. Donnelly
has many spellings. I have searched all the archives. I
have searched the vital records. I have searched the northern
Carleton cemetery records that have recorded. I may have to go to
another county now. I am hoping to rattle someone out there
before doing so. Anybody out there? Thanks! For any help!

Hovey, Allen
Hi my name is Sherry and I am trying to research my Hovey line in
New Brunswick. Below you will find what information I have. If
anyone can help I would sure appreciate it.
My 2Great grandfather Aarron Hovey was born 9
July 1845 in New Brunswick. I can not locate his birthplace for
some reason. According to his death registration (died in BC) his
parents were listed as Allin Hovey and Mary Price, yet I
can only find an Allin Hovey marrying a Lydia Ann Weade on 11 Nov
1833 in York Co. New Brunswick. According to sources Lydia went
by her middle name Ann as well as Mary (Maria) Ann Price. So I am
so confused.
If I can locate Aarron's birth or baptism certificate then it
would have the names of his parents. York Co and Carleton Co were
joined until 1832 and my Hovey's were in the Wicklow Parish in
Carleton. I believe they were Free Baptists.
I have a death of an Allan Hovey Deacon in the Free Baptist
church for 16 October 1885 in Tracey Mills. I'm not sure if this
is my Allan Hovey. Please if anyone can help I could sure use it.
Even just locating Aarron's Hovey's birth or baptism record would
solve the problem.
Thank you so much.

Pipe Organ
Update - Feb 2002
I have run across a reference to a Leslie H. Frazee. He probably
was a voicer for F.A. Peters Organ in NB, in early 1890's. He
left for Boston in 1894, to become head voicer for Jesse
Woodbury, eventually starting his own company in 1910 as Kimball,
Smallman & Frazee, later Frazee Organ Company { Everett Mass
}. This info comes from a book "Two Centuries of American
Organ Building" by William H. Barnes and Edward B. Gammons,
published in1970. I picked up the book & 4 others at a recent
internet listing. Still trying to track down further history on
Peters & other
staff.. Any info on Peters, Peters Organ, DW Paine or Frazee
appreciated { or Peters Organ Instruments }.

Pipe Organ / Baptist Church/ Woodstock
April 2001
A question not strickly related to geneaology, but it is history
related. I'm looking for information relating to a pipe organ
that was believed to have been in the Woodstock Baptist Church,
Woodstock, NB, most likely in the early part of the 20th century.
It was probably taken out of service and put in storage sometime
in early 1950's. I have recently acquired most of this organ and
plan on restoring a good part of it to playing condition. Any
information on it's origins, installation, active use, photos,
etc would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Since my last note have started cleaning work on organ
and pipechests. Now think that organ was last repaired / update
around 1964 and placed in storage approx early '70s. I have also
discovered that original parts of organ were made by F.A. Peters,
Organbuilder, St. John NB in 1893. Apparently he ran an organ
building firm there from approx 1883 { with Paine }. Any
information on F.A. Peters, Paine / Peter Organ greatly
appreciated.
