For excellent coverage of the Brewers in New Brunswick go to your local library and check out "A Dutch-English Odyssey: Stories of Brewer-Estey Families in North America, 1636-1996," by Floyd Brewer, c. 1997, Hamilton Printing Co., Rensselaer, New York. Traces hundreds of Brewer-Estey descendants from the first Loyalist on in to Northern Maine. Floyd is a native of Bridgewater, Aroostook County, Maine. If your local library doesn't have copy, try inter-library loan. Some Brewers married into the Burt/Burtt family.

Thank you so much for this. What an awesome thought, that I am getting closer everyday. I had already figured out that we were not from Canada, only there for a time. Figured out we were Loyalists, but not sure which ones. Was ready to start from Samuel and work down when all this good help started coming. Thanks a bunch!

Hi........I am researching the CAMBER family in New Brunswick. They are Loyalists. Some of the names in your posting are familiar: Elizabeth Camber married a Porter beffore 1900 (I believe) and moved to MA. I don't know if the Porter was from Canada or MA. Also, Olivia Camber married an Ichabod Howland who may or may not be related to Sarah, who married Moses Estey.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any way determining the particular dates of death for these two individuals: Cornelius McGillicuddy, died 1915, Cork, York, New Brunswick Mary Anne (Blake) McGillicuddy, died 1927, Cork, York, New Brunswick Although these deaths were not so long agp They are supposed to be buried in the Cork Catholic Cemetery in Cork, but no headstones exist. Ulitmitedly, I would like to find any references to them in the local newspapers (probably the Gleaner); for Dan Johnson’s task won’t be finished for those periods for many years. Any thoughts?

Hi, I am in the process of looking for information on Elizabeth CARROLL and her family. She was born around 1831. The 1881 census lists her birthplace as Canada and Joseph's as Ireland. On September 02,1852 she married Joseph FERGUSON at Howards Settlement, Dumfries. Their children were Alice b 1851 Lydia b 1854 Adeline b 1856 James b 1862 Joseph b 1867 Katherine b 1869 William b1871 Carrel b 1874 Goldie b 1877 I believe all the children were born in the Canterbury area. I know the date of Elizabeth's death - Nov. 02,1902 but I don't know if the family had moved to Maine by then. If any one has any information on the parentage of Joseph Ferguson or Elizabeth Carroll , I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Linda Weymouth, Massachusetts
