Bridget Sophia was recorded as b: 1831(?), in NB Canada & dau Mary Ann, bap; 1829 at St Dunstans RCCh, Fredericton NB was probably Canada b: where the family lived during their first years in North America, they, then, re-settled in Bangor ME. Three kids were recorded as Bangor b: Peter Jr (1837) Nancy (1835) and Margaret (1837). Little is known of Nancy McGuire, the person; she is reported as a "homemaker" in many USA census reports; she had a relative , Mary McGuire, a possible sister or cousin, who was a sponsor at the bap. of Mary Ann Haggerty, Peter & Nancy's first b: . Mary McGuire also, as a resident of Fredericton NB, m: James Landers, also of Fredericton NB, 15 November 1831, at St Dunstans RCCh, Fredericton NB with Fr Michael McSweeney officiating and Peter Haggerty & Mary Flynn as witness'es. Peter Sr.was a stonecutter, an expert well-digger, a man quick to anger, a devout Catholic , a strong believer in formal education and He and Nancy owned a cottage and garden on 7 acres of Bangor land. Because, it is reported, of "Know-Nothing" "agitation" (read anti-Catholic, anti-Irish-immigrant, house burning terrorism), the family, after selling the Bangor location at a loss, a location reportedly on Standpipe Hill (or Thomas Hill) in Bangor, moved, via ox-team, to Belfast Academy Grant which was 100 miles away (now Ludlow ME, near Houlton ME) and after building a log house there which was covered with hemlock bark and floored with split cedar, they grew, fished or hunted for all their food.. He became a naturalized /USA citizen in 1841, (Signed his citizenship papers with an "X"). (Above excerpts from "Forty Years in the Wilderness" by S. Spencer.) The "Belfast" location first appeared in the 1840 National Census, Peter as "head of household" was listed & 7 people were noted as living at this location, no names were listed. Charles was b: there (1849 or 1852) as were many of his siblings: John (1840), Thomas (1846), Francis (1848) and possibly "James son of Peter", noted above. The actual plot of ground in Ludlow where they settled is not known today, purportedly it was 200 acres, purchased at 50 cents each. Ludlow town records have since been lost. There is, though, a Haggerty Hill and a Haggerty Stream located there. The 1850 National Census record states that Peter&Nancy could neither R/W & that , in addition to Peter & Nancy the following lived at Belfast Academy Grant (Ludlow): Bridget Sophia, Peter Jr, Nancy, Margaret, John, Thomas & Francis. "In the year of 1854 (?), there came to Houlton the following named Irishman who with their decendants are part of the history of Houlton: Peter Haggarty, Peter McGlynn, James McSheffrey, Patrick Gillen. They purchased land of Jas. C. Madigan on what is known as Littleton Ridge, and commenced to make a clearing. To many of the weak hearted men of this period, what these sturdy men accomplished seems nothing short of marvelous, for today the beautiful farms occupied by the descendants of those men are among the best in the whole county."...from "THE IRISHMAN:` A Factor in the Development of Houlton" by WJ Thibadeau. The 1860 National Census for Belfast Academy Grant (Ludlow) states that Peter & Nancy can R/W (?) and that the following were living there in addition to Peter & Nancy: Nancy, John, Thomas, Frank & Charles. "The 1870 National Census, the family is recorded as located in Littleton ME (Williams College Grant), (next town to Ludlow). This is the Ridge Rd, named Haggerty Ridge Rd or Littleton Ridge Rd in some documents, potato farm, although not a working farm today, it is still in existence on a small plot w/ the original farm house in tack . In this census, Peter & Nancy along with 2 of their grandchildren: Charles Henry Haggerty, Martha (Elen) Haggerty (both children of Peter Haggerty Jr who was deceased), and son Frank lived there. Apparently the remainder of Peter & Nancy's children disbursed. Four of the kids at one time settled in the Stillwater MN/Houlton/St Joseph WI area: John, Thomas, Frank & Charles. In the 1880 National Census, living at Littleton Ridge, in addition to Peter & Nancy, son Charles has apparently returned from "out west" & children of Peter Jr: Charles, Martha, Eddie & John, all Haggerty's , are all living there. Peter Sr d: shortly thereafter, at 74 years, in 1881. At this point in time, Nancy willed the farm to her son Charles. Nancy d: at 79 years, in 1886. Both She & Peter are interred, together, in St Mary's RCCem in Houlton ME. In the 1900 National Census; (1890 National Census records were distroyed by fire), only Charles, son of Peter&Nancy, & Louisa (Laverty) and children are living at the Littleton ME location. By the 1910 National Census Louisa (Laverty) is running the farm with Charles, her husband, hospitalized and their kids: John, Myrtle, Albert, Mary, Augustus, Mildred, Madolyn & Clyde are at home on Littleton Ridge , Martha is in Boston at the BosCtyHosp Nurseing School, Elsie is probably working away from home somewhere & Walter & Cecil Waldo are d: SIBLINGS: Not known (although, USA National & NB Canada census records list many other Haggerty's in NB Canada & Bangor ME during that era) PARENTS: Not Known, but probably b: in Co | Not Known Donegal Ireland (although, interred w/Peter&Nancy in St Mary's RC Cem in Houlton ME is a "Mary" and noted on their gravestone is the inscription: " Mary Mother of Peter" "73 Years 1857"; this may be Peter Haggerty's mother) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

    2. Steve & Paula Day
    3. Hi All! I have purchased a newly published alumni directory of all the graduating classes from Bangor High School from 1919 through 1999. Not only does it list all names in the graduating class for each year, but it also provides biographical information for those still living. This information was gathered through telephone surveys of the graduates by the publisher. There is information such as occupation, address, telephone number, e-mail address, name of spouse and children. If the graduates didn't respond to the survey, many times the address where they lived during high school is given. I would be glad to do look-ups for anyone searching for information on a relative who lived in Bangor and may have attended the High School. -Steve Day

They have the 1882-1892 Bangor City Directories online. You may be able to find some of your ancestors. I found my great-grandfather John BURPEE as well as my LAMBERT & MUTTY lines.
