Hello! Would anyone be going to the archives in Augusta in the near future and be willing to do a look up for me?? I am looking for information contained in the following file: [Northeast Boundary, 1st Series, vol. 2. [Collected manuscript transcripts relative to the Northeastern Boundary, 1700-1822.] "Handwritten copies of the originals." Maine State Library, Augusta, Maine (call number: SAFE MS 973.57 N87 ) ] . The information refers to James BROWN of West Isles... I am trying to confirm that this James is "my" James who later lived at Campobello. I am looking for information on the following James: James Brown of West Isles should not be confused with the James Brown family of Machias who went to St. David. "James Brown of West Isles in the County of Charlotte and province of New Brunswick, Carpenter, aged sixty five years or there abouts deposeth and saith that he has lived in the Passamaquoddy settlement even since the year one thousand seven hundred and sixty nine, That he together with Jeremiah Frost erected a hut near to where the publick [sic] Landing in Saint Andrews now is, whitch [sic] was the first building of any kind ever put up by any English subject at or near that place. "Jeremiah Frost of Saint Stephens ... farmer, aged forty eight years or thereabouts deposeth and saith That he has lived in the said settlement ever since the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy. That he together with the above named James Brown erected the hut above mentioned. .... Washington Ss. Passamaquoddy July 19, 1797. Taken before me the subscriber, one of the Justices of the peace for the said county of Washington. "signed John Brewer " [Northeast Boundary, 1st Series, vol. 2. [Collected manuscript transcripts relative to the Northeastern Boundary, 1700-1822.] "Handwritten copies of the originals." Maine State Library, Augusta, Maine (call number: SAFE MS 973.57 N87 ) ] I will be happy to reinburse for any fee's to get me this information. Thanks very much!

Greetings and Happy New Year Heather, I will search my email that was archived a couple of years ago as I have a note describing James and Jeremiah Frost and Brown building the house you describe. Family notes say that my ancestor jane frost was the Daughter of James. However, the lists of his kids I have seen do not show her. Trying to solve that mystery.
