Abraham had numerous land tracts in Canterbury, New Brunswick.It is worth the effort to look them up. You may find as I did,other relitives on land close by.  Check cyndislist.com, look under Canada Index, click New Brunswick, look under Category Index, click GenWeb Project, click York,a map comes up-above the map it says – click here- so click there- Parish Data in York County comes up, look to the box, click Canterbury, History comes up, scroll down to bottom,click maps.Two maps come up- look at both, click on them, they will get big,they are land grant maps of Canterbury Parish. Wonderful  Or just click here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nbyork/canterbury.htm

From this Google Maps Satellite Photo it looks like most of the area has returned to woods, but the outlines of Abraham’s farm can still be seen, unique among all these land grants. Do you think the two maps line up?

In the 1851 census, Abraham’s family was living in Dumfries Parish, York County, New  Brunswick.   Dumfries Parish is less than 30 miles from Maine and had a population of 369 in the 2006 census.  Salome and Harvey were the only children still living at home.

Children

1. George Dow Estey

George’s wife Deborah Maria Miller was born in 1819 in New Brunswick. Her parents were Isaac MILLER II and Harriet PARKS.  Deborah died in 1892 in Waukau, Winnebago, Wisconsin.

George and Deborah Maria  immigrated to Palmyra, Jefferson County, Wisconsin on 1 Sep 1845 with George MILLER and Mary ESTEY MILLER  (Deborah’s brother and George’s sister) accompanying them on the trip by wagon train to Wisconsin.

Children of George and Deborah:

i. Huldah “Huldy” Marie Estey (14 Nov 1839 New Brunswick – 3 Jan 1929 in Butte, Montana) m1. 1864 in Waukau, Wisconsin to Thomas Lowe (4 Dec 1831, Lindale, Cumbria England – 12 May 1866, Waukau, Wisconsin age 34) m2. 1863 to William H. Carter (Jan 1832 England – )

In the 1880 census, William was working as a blacksmith in Rushford, Winnebago, Wisconsin.

ii. Nathan Cyrus Estey b. 21 Nov 1840 New Brunswick; d. 26 Mar 1903 Veteran’s Home, Leavenworth, Kansas; m1. 1 Jan 1868 to Julia Jenkins (11 Feb 1853, Ohio – 22 Apr 1878, Luverne, Montana at age 25);  m2. 25 Oct 1879 in Springwater, New York to Estella Catherine Hobbes (5 Jan 1861, Clayton County, Iowa – 12 Jun 1942, Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa)

Nathan enlisted in Company A, 1st Wisconsin Volunteer Cavalry Regiment on 15 Aug 1861. Mustered out on 01 Sep 1864. The regiment suffered 6 officers and 67 enlisted men killed or died from wounds in action, and 7 officers and 321 enlisted men who died of disease, for a total of 401 fatalities

This regiment was organized at Camp Fremont, Ripon, and Camp Harvey, Kenosha, in the summer and fall of 1861, 600 men having been enrolled at the former place up to the time of the change of location in November. It was mustered in March 8, 1862, and left the state on the 17th for Benton barracks, St. Louis, for equipment.

On April 28 1862 it moved to Cape Girardeau, thence to Bloomfield, where companies were detached to various points in Missouri and Arkansas for scout and train guard duty. The companies were in several engagements, frequently with superior forces, and were generally successful, though at Jonesboro in August a small detachment was compelled to surrender to greatly superior numbers.

At L’Anguille Ferry, Ark., occurred one of the fiercest engagements of the war, when Maj. Eggleston, with 130 men, was attacked by 500 Texas Rangers, the enemy overwhelming the little company and only about 20 escaping. The regiment with the exception of detachments moved towards Helena and reached its destination early in August.

It was ordered back to Cape Girardeau in September after terrible hardships, wading through swamps, without adequate supplies, drinking foul water, burdened by sick members, and being finally reduced to nearly half its original strength.

It was ordered to Greenville in early October and on the 19th to Patterson, where it was stationed during November and December, engaged in dispersing guerrillas, picking up small bodies of the enemy and foraging.

On Dec. 28 a small party of foragers was picked up by 400 of the enemy, and 200 infantry and 80 cavalry, including Cos. D and M, started in pursuit. The cavalry dashed into the Confederates and scattered their pickets in every direction. Co. D dismounted and drove the enemy for some distance.

The regiment was stationed at West Plains, Pilot Knob, St. Genevieve and Cape Girardeau, successively, from Jan. 7 to May 31, 1863, and was engaged with the enemy at Chalk bluff in March. At Whitewater bridge Capt. Shipman and 40 men on guard were surrounded by 300 of the enemy, but they cut their way out with a loss of 6 killed, 9 wounded and 10 taken prisoners.

The regiment was in the battle of Cape Girardeau, where it supported a battery, and pursued the enemy in his retreat. In June it was ordered to join the cavalry corps of the Army of the Cumberland.

It reached Nashville June 15, took part in the movement towardChattanooga, and was stationed at various points during the summer. It participated at Chickamauga, where it was engaged with the cavalry in holding the extreme right on the second day, and covered the retreat of the army.

It was in a lively engagement near Anderson’s gap in October, routing Wheeler’s command and taking numerous prisoners, and it was also in a skirmish at Maysville Ala. It then marched to Winchester, Alexandria and New Market Tenn., engaging the enemy at the last named place and driving him across Mossy creek. In this action the regiment carried the enemy’s position and captured a number of prisoners.

In December it again repulsed a force which had advanced on Mossy creek, and it participated in the battle at Dandridge in Jan. 1864. It was also in the engagement near Sevierville, and was then stationed at Marysville, Motley’s ford, Madisonville and Cleveland until May 3.

It was in a severe engagement near Varnell’s station with Wheeler’s forces, was in the advance on Dallas, and as skirmishers, was under a fierce fire from the enemy’s batteries intrenched in a spur of the Allatoona hills, being forced to fall back.

A detachment under Capt. Comstock routed a force at Burnt Hickory, and held its position against the attack of a body of cavalry until reinforced. A battalion under Capt. Harnden charged a heavy Confederate force guarding a supply train, andforced a way through the enemy’s ranks, but was compelled to fall back to the reserves, where the enemy was checked. This dash has been referred to as the most brilliant of the campaign.

A detachment defeated a force at Acworth and occupied the place. A few days later the regiment was in a skirmish at Big Shanty, and it was in frequent engagements about Lost Mountain until the enemy’s retreat across the Chattahooches River.

In the 1880 census, Nathan was a general merchant in Cavour, Beadle, Dakota Territory.

Beadle County, named in honor of Brigadier General William Henry Harrison Beadle, was created by the Dakota Territory Legislature in 1879 and formally organized in 1880 with the appointment of three county commissioners by Governor Nehemiah G. Ordway. The first town within Beadle County was Cavour, but Huron was named the county seat when the county commissioners first met there in July 1880. From 1880 until the capital was permanently located at Pierre in 1904, Huron was in the thick of the fight for the honor of being the capital city. Huron is the site of the South Dakota State fair and the birthplace of Hubert Humphrey and Cheryl Ladd.

In the 1900 census, Nathan and Estella were farming in Fitzgerald, Irwin, Georgia.

iii. Ruth Elizabeth Estey (15 Feb 1843, York County, New Brunswick – 28 Aug 1927 Portland, Oregon); m. John H. Ferguson (c. 1841 in New York – Bef. 1900 census )

In the 1880 census, John was a lumberman in Colby, Clark, Wisconsin.

iv. Amos Elijah Estey b. 25 Feb 1845 Saint John County, New Brunswick, Canada; d. 11 Oct 1925 San Diego, San Diego County, California; m. bet 1900-1910 to Caroline Cowan (b. 1858 Oregon – d. Aft 1920) in 1886 Caroline first married George Larkin

Amos enlisted in Company B, 21st Wisconsin Infantry Volunteer Regiment on 20 Aug 1862. Mustered out on 08 Jun 1865.

Amos was taken prisoner of war at Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19–20, 1863. The regiment arrived at Chickamauga in time to take part in the second day’s fight. It “never faltered during the whole day, but often the second line would have to face about and drive away the rebels from the rear.” On being ordered to retire it fell back “only to the second line of works, where, still fighting, surrounded by the enemy, Lieut.-Col. Hobart and about 70 officers and men were captured.”

The Battle of Chickamauga marked the end of a Union offensive in southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War and involved the second highest number of casualties in the war following the Battle of Gettysburg.

In the 1900 census, Amos and his brother Orville were growing fruit in Jocko, Flathead, Montana. Caroline, Amos’ future wife was living in Jocko too, with her first husband George Larkin.

The Jocko Valley (Google Satellite View) is located in western Montana, 30 miles north of Missoula on land of the Flathead Indian Reservation.

In the 1910 census, Amos and Caroline and Caroline’s 17 year old daughter Leona were living in Seattle where Amos was a contracting carpenter.

In 1926, Caroline was living at 3539 Fairmount Ave, San Diego, California.

v. Sarah Malvina Estey (10 July 1847, Nankaw, Winnebago, Wisconsin – 20 Feb 1848)

vi. Colin John Estey b. 15 Mar 1849, Nankaw, Winnebago, Wisconsin; d. Apr 1902 Pocahontas County, Iowa; m1. 3 Apr 1874 Mankato, Blue Earth, Minnesota to Henretta C. [__?__] (b. 1839 Pennsylvania- d. Aft 1910 census ); m2. abt 1900 to Minnie C [__?__] (b. Jan 1872 Iowa) Her father was born in Denmark and her mother in Illinois.

Henrietta had first married Edward DeForce (b. 1834 New York) Edward enlisted in the Pennsylvania 1st LA Batty E Light Artillery Battery on 29 Dec 1863. Mustered out on 14 Jun 1865. In the 1870 census, Edward and Henrietta were living in Spring, Boone, Illinois where Edward was a laborer.

In the 1880 census, Henrietta and Colin were living in Beaver, Guthrie, Iowa with two children from her first marriage and two from her second, while Edward was living in Houston, Texas with his brother Samuel. On 2 Mar 1888 Houston Texas, Edward remarried to Amanda Hassell Huntsman (17 Oct 1851 – 8 Jan 1914 Crockett, Houston County, Texas)

In the 1900 census, Colin was a carpenter and a farmer in Rolfe, Pocahontas, Iowa with his new wife Minnie. Henrietta was living with her daughter Ada and son-in-law John Tucker in Grant, Page, Iowa. She is listed as widowed, but it looks like they were really divorced.

vii. Orville C. Estey (6 Jul 1852 Oshkosh Winnebago County, Wisconsin – 26 Apr 1926 Kalispell, Flathead County, Montana); m. Margaret I. Grant (18 Mar 1865 Pictou, Nova Scotia – 4 Apr 1950 Deer Lodge County, Montana)

Mrs. Estey came to the Flathead in 1899 and lived on the East Lake Shore until 1921 when she moved to Kalispell. She and her sister, Mrs. J. C. Wood, planted the first cherries on the East Lake Shore shortly after coming here. She was the first teacher at Woods Bay school.

In the 1920 census, Orville still had a fruit farm in Jocko, Flathead, Montana.

viii. Alvord P. Estey b. 21 May 1856, Nankaw, Winnebago, Wisconsin; d. 13 April 1894, Hunter Hol, Montana; m. 12 Apr 1879, West Prairie, Vernon, Wisconsin to Ella Araminta Mitchell (8 Jan 1861, Pike County, Missouri – 6 Dec 1935Kalispell Flathead County Montana) After Alvord died, Ella married Philip Wilson Smith (b. 5 Jan 1836 Missouri – d. 28 Apr 1917 Kalispell, Flathead, Montana) Philip was a Confederate soldier (Private) in the 1st Missouri Infantry, Co C.

Ella had 5 children with Alvord, including: Mabel, Bessie, Bertie and Cassie. She had two children with Philip, aptly named Philip W. and Ella A.

In the 1880 census, Alvord, Ella and Ella’s mother Lucinda Mitchell was farming in Brookings, Dakota Territory [Now South Dakota].

In the 1900 census, Ella and Philip were farming in Kalispell, Flathead, Montana.

2. Jerusha “Eleanor” Estey

Jerusha’s husband William Collicott was born in 1815 in Tavistock, Devon,  England.  His parents were John Collicott and Susannah [__?__].  William died 15 Sep 1898 in York, New Brunswick. John Collicott (1783-Aug 25, 1857) one of the four Collicott brothers who sailed from Wales in the 1700’s and settled in Canterbury, York Co, New Brunswick

Jerusha and William Collicott  were married on the same day as my g-g- grandparents MARY ESTEY and GEORGE MILLER.  The marriage announcement of William Collicott in the 29 Aug 1838 edition of the Fredericton, “The New Brunswick Royal Gazette”, abstracted as:

“m. Dumfries, York Co., Thursday last, by Rev. Charles Wiggins, William COLLICOTT / Miss Eleanor ESTEY; On same day, by same, George MILLER / Miss Mary ESTEY, all Dumfries”

William and his brother, John, were farmers both arriving in 1830. George G. and Druscilla and Olivia and Maria were two sets of twins. John Collicott appears to have lived in Canterbury Parish, York Co., NB in 1857 when his estate was probated. A William Collicott, also of Canterbury Parish had his estate probated in 1898. A number of Collicott’s are buried in the Canterbury Roman Catholic Cemetery in York Co., NB. Jerusha (ca. 1818 -2 5 Dec 1890) is buried in the Canterbury Cem. (i.e., non-denominational?) Also buried there is a John Collicott (ca. 1783 – 25 Aug 1847), likely William and John’s father. He may well be the John Collicott granted 100 acres in Dumfries Parish 9 Jun 1840 and another 100 acres 9 Aug 1842. William was granted 110 acres in Canterbury Parish in 1864 and John, Jr. in 1872. The 1871 directory lists Abraham, George, John and William Collicott in Canterbury Station, Canterbury Parish. The assumption Thomas Murray made is that John, William’s brother, in 1851 was John, Jr. in 1872, therefore John (ca. 1783-1842) was their father.

Children of Jerusha (Eleanor) Estey and William Collicott

i. George Gilbert Collicott (20 Jun 1839 – 1919) m. Mary Ellen Johnson (1840 – 19 Jan 1887) Their daughter Adelia May Collicot married George’s first cousin George Abram Dickinson (see below).

ii. Drucilla Collicott (1 May 1841 – 11 Mar 1900); m1. John Lees (1838 – 13 Nov 1863); m2. bef. 1879 to Harvey Dunlop (13 Nov 1831 – 25 Feb 1922) His parents were John Dunlap and Margaret Cronkhite

iii. Ruth Susannah Collicott (4 Mar 1843 – 22 Dec 1921) m. 15 Jun 1863 John William Johnson (1836 – 1 Nov 1899) His parents were William Johnson and Rebecca Dickinson.

There is a story that [Sarah’s] g-g-grandmother, Ruth Susannah Collicott, was Native. She was born on March 4, 1843, and her (adopted?) parents were William Collicott and Jerusha Estey. Ruth spent her entire life in Canterbury,York Co.,New Brunswick.

Ruth married John William Johnson in 1863,and apparently it was considered a scandal. Unfortunately all Sarah’s efforts to find anything about her Native origins have turned up nothing; her research shows her ethnicity, even on her death certificate (1921), to be either English or “native to the province, “the latter applying for herself, her siblings and her mother. Either she likely felt ashamed of it or she didn’t even know.  She  knows she has  Native in me because (a) she does  have some physical characteristics, as do her mother and grandfather,and (b) there is a photograph of both Ruth and John somewhere around her house. When her grandfather died in 2006, she recalls overhearing her mother and her cousin discussing Ruth, and she  believes he mentioned that she was Maliseet. If you could help her in any way, she would really appreciate it.

Saarah found the photo — Ruth Susannah Collicott and her husband John William Johnson circa 1861-68.
