• He owned land. Maxwell, Lillian, THE HISTORY OF CENTRAL NEW BRUNSWICK,Tribune Press, Sackville, N.B., 1937, p. 55: Maugerville lots 10 & 94 -- "Stickney. William Stickney settled in Rowley in 1637. Jedediah Stickney served under Capt. Francis Peabody in the Seven Years War, and along with his brother Joseph was in Major Prebble's company under Col. Winslow when the Acadians were removed in 1755. Jedediah engaged Lot 94 in Maugerville and his passage thence, but his parents having 3 sons in Maugerville, persuaded him to remain in Rowley. During the Revolutionary War he built a mill and ground scythes, spears and cutlasses for the Revolutionary party. In 1776 he sold his Maugerville lot to Thomas Saunders. (Sty. Bk.)

Isaac Stickney was in Capt. Anthony Stickney's company of Newbury and fought at Louisberg. Sarah, sister of Isaac, married Saml. Bridges, and was the mother of John Holland Bridges (md. Jane Barker)....The name of Saml. Bridges is not on the plan of Maugerville. It might be that he at first occupied the vacant lot of his brother-in-law Jedediah Stickney.Later the Bridges family settled upon half of Lot 40 which Nehemiah Beckwith from Cornwallis N.S. had bought about 1780 and left when he moved to Fredericton. Nehemiah's 1st wife was Molly Stickney." 2 Jan. 2001 e-mail from Terry Smith of Amherst, Nova Scotia sent data taken from "The Stickneys 1637-1869" by Mathew Adams Stickney in 1869, an Internet web site she happened to run across.

A large number of families who came from New England at this time
settled on the St. John River. They called their settlement
Maugerville. The name Sunbury was subsequently given to the whole of the Province west of Cumberland County.

The Hon. Charles Burpee, of Sheffield, writes me that there were about two hundred families who at this time found homes along the river. Some of their names were: Perley, Barker, Burpee, Stickney, Smith, Wasson, Bridges, Upton, Palmer, Coy, Estey, Estabrooks, Pickard, Hayward, Nevers, Hartt, Kenney, Coburn, Plummer, Sage, Whitney, Quinton, Moore, McKeen, Jewett.

Noted events in his life were:

• He owned land. Samuel Bridges and sons are mentioned in early records of Sheffield. Samuel and Mary Bridges lost their land in Burton, Sunbury Co., that had been willed to him by his father, Samuel, Sr. and moved to Carleton Co. in 1832. They settled on a lot of land owned by his uncle, John Holland Bridges, in Lakeville. This land was later owned by Henry Williams. The old Bridges house burned. At some time between 1839 and 1854 the Bridges leased the saw mill in Lakeville. The Bridges eventually lost their interest in the mill and land and the sons moved to the State of Maine.

• He was religious. The Bridges family was Baptist.

• He received medical attention. By 1851 Samuel Bridges was infirm

• He signed a will. The will of Samuel Bridges shows that he felt he was in possession of the property in Lakeville. Later events indicate that his sons found themselves indebted to the heirs of their uncle, John Holland Bridges of Sheffield. This was no doubt a factor in their move from the county.

• Misc: History of Lakeville, by C. A. McBride, Williamstown, N.B. (a) "The first man to actually settle in Lakeville was Samuel Bridges who moved with his family into a lumber camp in the spring of 1832. This camp was on a farm now owned by Henry Williams. After living in this camp a few years, he built a house about 100 rods to the north. After the mill was built he erected a house in the village and ran a boarding house. He dug a spring in the mill yard and supplied the village with water for a great many years." "Ketchum sold the Mill Block and saw mill to Ralph Ketchum, and afterwards it was leased to various men including Marvin, Copeland, Bridges, Samuel Tracy and Calvin Churchill, who bought it in 1854. Tracy built the first grist mill." "A road was built up from the mill through the woods direct to the St. John River, a great deal of it corduroy, logs of which still remain. At the river deal were rafted and run to the sea-ports for shipment. Early lumbermen constructed the first dam but we can glean no information as by whom or when. Before there was a bridge, the Tracy and Bridges women crossed back and forth across the outlet from the point where an old pine stump still stands." (b)" The first settler, Samuel Bridges, in the spring of 1832, moved with his family into a lumber camp, vacated by Moses Wadell. Samuel Bridges died May 28, 1852, aged 68 years, and was the great-grandfather of the late Mrs. John P. McAuley of Williamstown. Shortly after the mill was burned Bridges built a house in the village and ran a boarding house. The house stood to the east of the mill, and close to the Deal Road. The third house he built was later owned and occupied by the late Hanford Tracy. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bridges had a family of five boys and four girls. Boys: Holland, Gaynor, Rupert (Robert), Thomas and William. Daughters: Mrs. Wilson, who went to New York,: Mrs. David (Daniel) Tompkins who went to Presque Isle; Mrs. John Douglas (Ruggles) to the Annopolis Valley; Sarah, who married Samuel Gray (Tracy) Jr., and settled in Lakeville.
Family Story A story in the McAuley family infers that the Bridges and Tracys had some sort of partnership deal. In some way Tracy, directly or indirectly, undermined the Bridges interest and the Bridges family left Lakeville to settle in the Bridgewater/Monticello area in Maine

Robert married Hannah Anderson , daughter of Unknown and Unknown , on July 17, 1856 in Bridgewater, Maine. Hannah was born on May 11, 1826 in Blackville, Northumberland, New Brunswick, died on May 20, 1926 in Centreville, Carleton County, New Brunswick, at age 100, and was buried in Old Williamstown Cemetary.

Noted events in her life were:

• She was religious. Methodist

• She died. Death certificate Registration # 1926 03 003012

• Death Details: She had been bedridden for the last two years of her life.

• Other: Hannah Anderson Bridges was born on the Miramichi, in Northumberland, Co. She was born in Blackville on May 11, 1826, following the Great Fire. The story was told that her mother, Ruth (Burden) Anderson, wife of James Anderson, escaped the fire by wading into the river. With a young daughter in her arms, she was already pregnant with Hannah.

• Other: Hannah Anderson lived a rather nomadic life. The Anderson family, on the death of James Anderson, removed to Maine, U.S.A. and later to Williamstown, (Pioneer) Carleton Co. After her marriage, Hannah settled in Lakeville but on the death of her husband, she again moved to Maine, eventually to live in Bridgewater. Hannah lived for a number of years in Bridgewater with her son Samuel where they raised her grandson, Milford Harrington. Milford's mother had died and his father moved on to a new wife and family. Hannah had a short stay in Boston with her daughter, Nettie Moore, but finally came back to Williamstown to spend the sixteen years before her death at the home of her daughter, Jane McAuley.

• Other: From Elsie McAuley, who remembered Grandma Bridges and heard comments from her mother-in-law, Jane McAuley.
"Grandma was a very quiet woman as I remember. She hardly ever spoke. She would sit with her elbow on the tank of the stove and say nothing. She used the catalogue to keep her elbow cool. The winter J. P. McAuley died she had come in the fall. He would sit on the other side of the stove and couldn't get her to talk. I only saw her laugh once- I nearly put a dipper of water in the stove. She would sometimes say, "Oh, I want to go home." (Bridgewater) She was never content here. She was bed-ridden for two years. Her mind failed at the last. She would call out at night, "Janie, I want a piece of bread, just a little piece of bread." A lunch would be taken up for her at night, so it would be there." (Allen helped with the care of his grandmother)
"Grandma Bridges lived with Nettie and Robert Grant for a year, in Boston. She liked Robert Grant. Grandma had Bridges cousins in Monticello."

PIONEER

The home of Mrs. Jane McAuley was the scene of a noteworthy and memorable event on Tuesday, May 11, when the family observed the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of their grandmother, Mrs. Hannah Bridges. Mrs. Bridges is the daughter of the late James Anderson, and was born in Blackville, Northumberland Co., N.B. on May 11th 1826, 7 months and four days after the famous Miramichi fire. When a girl she came with her mother and brothers to Mars Hill, Maine, afterwards removing to Lakeville, N.B. where she resided 26 years; from there she moved to Bridgewater, Me., where she lived 28 years, and during the past 16 years she has made her home with her daughter Mrs. Jane McAuley of Pioneer. Mrs. Bridges was married in 1855 at Bridgewater, Maine, to Robert Bridges, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. James Kidder. Her husband died on Nov. 5, 1882 and was buried in Jacksontown, N.B. She has five children as follows: James Bridges of Worcester, Mass., Thos. Bridges, of Bridgewater, Maine, Samuel Bridges of Pioneer, Mrs. C. Moore of Jay, Maine, and Mrs. Jane McAuley. Thirteen grandchildren: Robert Grant of Philadelphia, Muriel Bridges of Worcester, Velma Bridges of Boston, Laura, Lillian and Glenwood Bridges of Bridgewater, Milford Harrington of Bridgewater, Mrs. C. M. Reid of Centreville, Scott H. McAuley of Centreville, Mrs. C. S. Page of Pioneer, and Murray, Allen and Roy McAuley of Pioneer. There are 14 great-grandchildren. Owing to the weather on her birthday, a large number of relatives and friends were prevented from visiting her, nevertheless a goodly number called during the day to show their esteem and appreciation, and she was the recipient of several bouquets and potted flowering plants, also some suitable presents. A large birthday cake was prepared of four layers, on which were placed 100 white and pink candles alternately, to commemorate the century of years which she has providentially been spared to live. Had the day been bright, it was planned to have her photograph taken but unfortunately this was not possible owing to the rainstorm. Thus passes into history one of those rare occasions when four generations are privileged to participate in the celebration of the centennial of a member of the family circle.

This was the first frame house in the town.--- Mr. Bridges kept some sheep and Mrs. Shaw remembers how they used to card the wool, spin the rolls and weave cloth for the family. She says "When we came to Mars Hill it was all woods. There were no schools to go to. The only light we had at night was a tallow-dip candle. There were three settlers in the town when we came. The first cook stove brought into the town was brought by my Uncle John Ruggles, and we all turned out to see it. It was a "wonder." --- Mrs. Shaw has lived in the town longer than any other woman.-- Mr. Bridges cut the trees where the A.C.I. now stands, in about 1852.

As Mr. Chandler's house was the only one between there and Bridgewater Corner it looks as though they must have lived in Mars Hill, as they visited Mrs. Snow, going up there on the crust.
Mr. Ruggles moved into Mars Hill in 1847 into a log house which he built where Edwin Lydicker afterward lived, just north of the old orchard on the farm now owned by Frank Jones. In that house Samuel Ruggles was born being the first child born in the town.

In the home were his parents, William and Margaret McAuley and an unmarried sister, Isabella. William McAuley, who called her "Jeannie", taught her to make butter. She became an excellent butter maker. Mr. Wilson, a store keeper, in Lakeville, would send her butter to a special customer in Boston. Jane McAuley became the mother of seven children. Times were hard and money was scarce. With her husband often away in the woods during the winter there were barn chores as well as household duties. Wool was prepared for yarn and there was plenty of knitting to be done. When the family moved to the Williamstown Road, an addition was made to the house there. The large pine tree planted at the time of the move by her son. Vincent, later gave the name "Pine Tree Farm" to the location. At middle age, Jane McAuley became afflicted with myxoedema, a thyroid deficiency.

He would say that, "He never found anyone who wanted to marry and not do very well." He worked as a farm labourer and was considered an excellent teamster. Milford boarded at various homes in Bridgewater. He chewed snuff and enjoyed the occasional cigar. In later years he lived in a small mobile home in the village. Milford made regular visits at his cousin, Roy McAuley's, "in the Province." It was there that he died suddenly in the bathroom, on November 9, 1970. He is buried in the Murray McAuley lot in the Williamstown Cemetery. Clarence Harrington remarried and Milford had half siblings to whom he never made himself known. He had once worked with a half brother.

A couple of years after that they moved to Caribou where they lived and taught until 1968; when we moved to Hallowell, Maine in 1969; a history all of its own. Dad had his Assoc.

HARVARD - Harriet Ellen Bridges, 73, died Sunday, March 2, 2003, as a result of breast cancer, which she had battled for over three years.

She is survived by her three children, Alan of Littleton, Jeffrey of Palm Harbor, Fla., and Sarah Condran, also of Palm Harbor. She is remembered by her three grandchildren, Holly, Emma, and Megan; her sister, Jean C. Denton of West Hartford, Conn.; and her brother, Charles M. Carlton Ph.D. of Fairport, N.Y.; as well as a close-knit family of nieces, nephews and extended family.

Mrs. Bridges was a longtime area resident, residing previously in Acton and Littleton. She was born in Rutland, Vt., the daughter of the late Clarence R. Carlton of East Poultney, Vt., and Margaret L. Pennell of Farmington, Maine.

She graduated from the University of Vermont with a bachelor of science degree in home economics in 1952, where she was a member of the Mortarboard Society and Pi Beta Phi sorority. She was a co-proprietor of Northbridge Antiques in Concord, and was very active in the community. She was a member of the Harvard Unitarian Church, the Emerson Hospital Auxiliary, the Harvard Garden Club, and had been a docent at Fruitlands Museums in Harvard.

She and her late husband, Dr. Edward F. Bridges, facilitated the creation of the Acton Arboretum on their land after moving from their Main Street home there. Mrs. Bridges helped raise money for artist Loring Coleman's painting to be completed and displayed in the Acton Library, and for a swimming pool to be constructed for disadvantaged girls.

After being diagnosed with cancer, Mrs. Bridges completed the demanding 60-mile walk from Fitchburg to Boston as a participant in the nationally sponsored Avon Breast Cancer three-day walk to raise money to find a cure. Until her death, she remained very active; skiing, swimming, and playing tennis regularly, as well as gardening and antiquing.

She traveled to Europe and across the country with her family and friends. During the summertime, she enjoyed retracing her roots in Poultney, Vt., and vacationing with her family at their cabin on Echo Lake in Presque Isle, Maine. In winter, she often spent time at her place in Bethel, Maine. She will be remembered for her generosity, her graciousness, and her passionate love of life.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m., Sunday, March 9, at the Harvard Unitarian Church, Ayer Road, Harvard Common, with a reception there to follow. In lieu of flowers, Mrs. Bridges asked that contributions be made to Fruitlands Museum, 102 Prospect Hill Road, Harvard, MA 01451; the Unitarian Church of Harvard; or to the Trustees of the Reservations, 572 Essex St., Beverly, MA 01915-1530.
