Zebulon ESTEY (1742 – 1806) was Alex’s 6th Great Grandfather; one of 128 in this generation of the Miller line.

Zebulon was born 14 Dec 1742 in Rowley, Mass.  Zebulon was one of Jacob’s sons in the Bible.  He had a twin brother, John who also grew to adulthood passing in 12 Oct 1824.   Their parents were Richard ESTEY I and Ruth FISKE.   He married Mary (Molly) BROWN on 8 Aug 1765 in Newburyport, Mass.  Zebulon died on 10 Oct 1806 in Canning Parish, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada. 

The Esteys resided in Rowley, Mass until 1764 when they relocated to a settlement on the St John’s River in New Brunswick Canada called Maugerville.  See my post New England Planters in New Brunswick for their history. Zebulon made the trip the next year with his new bride and was one of the signers of the original covenant of the Congressional Church. Zebulon’s daughter Molly ESTEY married her first cousin Amos ESTEY so many of our direct ancestors made the trip.

• Grandfather Richard ESTEY – age 58,
• son Richard ESTEY II age 36, wife Hannah HAZEN age 37 and his son Amos ESTEY age 5
• son Zebulon ESTEY age 22 and his new bride Molly BROWN
• Zeb’s twin brother John and sister Sarah who married Thomas Barker also made the trip.

Mary (Mollie) Brown was born 14 Feb 1743 in Newbury, Mass.  Her parents were Francis BROWN II and Mercy LOWELL.   Another possibility for Mollie’s parents is Nehemiah Brown and Mary [__?__] of Ipswich, Massachusetts.  Mary died on 9 Aug 1835 in Upper Gagetown, NB

“The River St. John” by Rev. Wm. Raymond published in 1910, pages 334-5:

“On 15 January 1765 on Captain Francis Peabody’s schooner, came Zebulon Estey to Maugerville. He paid 12 shillings passage money from Newburyport to St. John and 13s 6d for `his club of Cyder’ on the voyage. Richard Estey and Thomas Barker built a saw-mill on a small creek near Middle Island. (After 1765.) They sold it in 1779 – near Maugerville. Richard Estey signed a church covenant for a distinct church society. Many moved from Maugerville due to the annoyance of the spring freshets. [A sudden overflow of a stream resulting from a heavy rain or a thaw]  Zebulon Estey moved to Gagetown. Some went across the river to the township of Burton. These included Israel Estey, Moses Estey and Amos Estey.”

About the year 1760, before the landing of the Loyalists, a settlement was ade at Majorville by a company of New Englanders.   Zebulon Estey  came five years later in 1765. He was one of the few magistrates of New Brunswick when the Loyalists arrived in 1783.   He got this appointment in an interesting way. The story is that he had built a mill on a brook near Gagetown, when someone tried to wrest it from him on grounds that he had no claim to the land on which the mill stood. At that time, New Brunswick was not a separate province, but was a part of Nova Scotia. Acordingly Estey had to go to Halifax to gain redress. The governor kindly listened to his grievance and not only gave him a title to the land for which he asked, but added much more to it. He inquired of Estey if there were no magistrates on the St. John river. On being answered in the negative he then and there appointed him a justice of the peace.

The above plan of the river shows the locations of the early settlers of Maugerville; in order ascending the river.

The lower ten lots of the township and Mauger’s Island were granted to Joshua Mauger. Just above were the lots of Gervas Say, Nehemiah Hayward, John Russell, Samuel Upton, Zebulon ESTEY, John Estey, Richard ESTEY I and Edward Coy.

At the head of Mauger’s Island were the lots of Matthew Wason, Samuel Whitney and Samuel Tapley.

Between Mauger’s Island and Middle Island the lots were those of Jeremiah Burpee, Jonathan Burpee, Jacob Barker, Daniel Jewett, Ezekiel Saunders, Humphrey Pickard, Moses Pickard, Jacob Barker, jr., Isaac Stickney and Jonathan Smith.

Opposite Middle Island, in order ascending, were Thomas Barker [Richard ESTEY’s son-in-law], John Wason, Daniel Palmer, Richard Kimball, Joseph Garrison, Samuel Nevers, Peter Mooers, Richard ESTEY Jr., Jabez Nevers, Enoch DOW and Hugh Quinton.

Between Middle and Oromocto islands were Thomas Christie, Elisha Nevers, Jedediah Stickney, Stephen Peabody, Capt. Francis Peabody and William McKeen.

Opposite Oromocto Island were Israel Perley (at the foot of the island), Lt.-Col. Beamsley P. Glasier, John Whipple, Nathaniel Rideout, Capt. Francis Peabody, Alexander Tapley, Phineas Nevers, Joseph Dunphy, William Harris, Ammi Howlet, Samuel Peabody and Oliver Peabody.

Above Oromocto Island we find the lots of Asa Perley, Oliver Perley, George Munro, James Simonds, Joseph Buber, Joseph Shaw, Benjamin Brawn, Daniel Burbank, Thomas Hartt and the Widow Clark. Thence to the upper boundary of the township, a distance of two miles, there were at first no settlers, but in the course of time Richard Barlow, Nehemiah Beckwith, Benjamin Atherton, Jeremiah Howland and others took up lots.

By the time the LOYALISTS arrived in 1783, Grimross, as it was then known, had a population of some 200. It was laid out in grid pattern as a possible site for the provincial capital, but Governor Carleton chose St Anne’s [Fredericton] and Gagetown became the shire town of Queens County.

During the 19th century it was the most important centre between Fredericton and SAINT JOHN and a prosperous farming and lumbering community. The establishment of GAGETOWN CFB after WWII stripped the village of its hinterland, and the abolition of county government in the 1960s deprived it of its importance as the shire town. Today the village is undergoing a growth in tourism in addition to its apple industry. It is also a popular destination for boaters.

Excerpt from “The Studholme Report – 1783”

“Zebulon Esty has a wife and 8 children. Has been on about 5 years; built a house and grist milland has about 3 acres of cleared land. Went on in consequence of an agreement with Mr. John Crabtree acting as attorney for Capt Jades, and was promised a lease for ever on paymeny of a small acknowlegement yearly.

Children

1. Mary (Molly) ESTEY (See Amos ESTEY‘s page)

2. Susanna Estey

Susanna’s husband Nathaniel Wright was born after 1760. Since Nathaniel Wright came in 1783 as a single man on the “Two Sisters”, with Uriah Wright (with a wife and 7 children) I would suspect he was Uriah’s son. Uriah was granted Lot 790 in Parr Town, and land in Bellisle. Wright’s book claims that from there, he moved to Queen’s County. Uriah returned to the United States and died 21 Aug 1797 in Hollis, New Hampshire. Since they were from New York; I would suspect they were connected with the Westchester Co. Wright’s; especially around North Castle. Uriah, however, seems to have come from South East or Frederick Precincts, Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY. However, in an indictment against him and others (20OCT1776), the others include names: Brundage, Merritt, Fowler, Theal and ‘Dickeson’, which I would associate with Westchester Co.

There is little information about Susannah and Nathaniel Wright’s marriage.  Nathaniel petitioned for land in Sunbury Co (1785 twice) and in Queens Co. (1791, 1793, 1802.) In 1791, he petitioned with Nehemiah ‘Easty’, whom, was probably Susannah’s brother. It would seem that Nathaniel Wright at least knew the family of Zebulon Estey; and there is some opinion that he married Zebulon’s daughter; so it seems reasonable to suspect; if location and timing seem right, that Zebulon may have been named after his maternal grandfather.

In his claim filed from Bellisle Bay on 18th Jan., 1787, Uriah stated that he was the son of Dennis Wright. He was from Norwalk, Fairfield Co., Conn., and left there fourteen years ago. Went to Dutchess County, N.Y.

I am guessing that one of his children was Nathaniel, who also arrived on the Two Sisters with Company One, and was a single man. Both Nathaniel and Uriah signed a petition, along with other Kingston Inhabitants, seeking means of maintenance for a clergyman in 1786. (Dan Johnston’s newspaper vital stats)

I have noted that there were many Connecticut people living in Kingston at the time, as Uriah’s neighbours. I wonder if there are any family connections? I also see that there were Peters families close by, who would be parents/sibblings to Uriah’s wife, Elizabeth. I think that Elizabeth Peters MAY be a second marriage, but am still exploring that possibility.

I’m wondering if anyone could provide names of Uriah’s children, or make any connections to other Wright loyalists who came to New Brunswick?

I’m wondering, for instance, if the Phoebe Wright who recieved land in Bellisle, is connected? Or the Elizabeth Wright, who recieved land on the Kennebecasis,is a relative? Solomon Wright was a Loyalist from Greenwich, Conn., and was probably a close relative to a William Wright (m. Susannah Hunt)

3. Nehemiah Brown Estey

5. Dorothy (Dolly) Estey

Dorothy’s Aug 11, 1843 death was announced in the New Brunswick Courier Newspaper. The spelling of the Curry/Currey/Currie surname is of constant error. In this recording it is Correy

Dorothy’s husband David Currie was born 29 Apr 1767 in Peekskill, New York. Curry can be spelled Currie, Currey, Corey, or Corry. His parents were Joshua Currey and Eunice Travis. His nephew Joshua married Dolly’s sister Phoebe. He left Peekskill with his loyalist parents, sailing to Gagetown in 1783. David died 12 Aug 1827 in Upper Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada.

When the American Revolution broke out, Joshua Curry took up arms for the British. His neighbors were on the side of independence, and he had to flee from home under cover of night. Three hundred miles lay between him and the nearest British camp; however, he reached there in safety, and enlisted as a soldier. Before long he was promoted to Lieutenant. His family supposed he was dead as they did not her from him till the war was over. In the fall of 1783, rather than be disloyal to England, he, with his family, left his beautiful home in Peekskill New York and went to New Brunswick, landing at the mouth of the St. John river, in November. They spent the winter there, and in the spring went up the river and purchased land in the parishes of Gagetown and Canning.”

David and Dorothy took up their abode in Canning, and God prospered them exceedingly. They owned nearly two thousand acres of land on both sides of the river. There were born to them ten sons and two daughters. The fifth son, whose name was John, and who was born in 1788, married Ann Upton and had nine children. He carried on a large tanning business and was quite wealthy. He died in 1876. His brother George is the only surviving member of the family (1897) and he has lived to see seven generations, both ancestors and descendants.

John and Anna settled at Gagetown and had eight children.

John carried on a large tanning business and was quite wealthy.

May 2 1826 – John Currey is appointed to Church Office of the Calvinist Baptist Church of Waterborough, to act as a “clerk” and Mr Hoben is voted to Office of Treasurer.

Jun 17 1830 – Elder Marsters preached on the Obstaining from every appearance of evil particularly the evil of intoxication after which was formed a Society as “Abstanance Society”. They chose the President to be Elder Marsters, John Currey as Secretary and David Currey as Treasurer.

Aug 7 1830 – Two months later Elder John C Marsters, John Currey, Jarvis Estabrooks and James Jones met the Branch of the Canning Church in Cumberland Bay. There they held a meeting concerning a grievance that Peter Day and Thomas Wasson were labouring for some time past.

Jan 28 1833 – The Members of the Calvinist Baptist Church of Waterborough, Queens County held a Church meeting. They chose “Brother” Jarvis Davis to act as a Moderator and then proceeded with the Church Business at hand. The first thing that was brought to attention in the meeting was that “Brother” John Currey had been in the “repeated habit of talking against Elder John Marsters” in a way not becoming a man of the word much more a Deacon of the Church to the great dishonour of himself and the cause of Christ which charge John Currey owned to be true. So the majority of the members decided by vote that his conduct was not justifiable and it was moved by the moderator whether or not they would considering the past conduct of Brother John Currey be for the Glory of God and good of the Church to hold him as a Deacon of Christ any longer. The vote was voiced unanimously against John Currey that he should no longer hold the office of Deacon and remain under the displeasure of the church till he gave satisfaction for his past conduct and then to be recieved as a private member.

Feb 4 1833 – Church meeting was held shortly after John is dismissed and after the opening of singing and prayer Elder Brother Coy was choosen to act as the Moderator. During the meeting it was moved to know whither the Church considered Elder John Marsters to be a member of this church or not and so a vote was taken, there were twelve nays and not one yea. Further it was agreed that Brother John Currey should be restored to his office of Deacon and a further agreement to request the assistance of the sister Church’s Elder Joseph Crandall, Titus Stone and the Church at Fredericton.

With the help of the new assistance John Currey was restored and a vote was taken to dismiss Elder Marsters on July 29 1832.

After this dispute which the cause is not clearly stated in the records the church is thrown into great difficulty and this is recorded in their records on March 27 1834.

March 15th 1855 (MF#F7833 Baptist Church, Waterborough, Page 88)

Recorded: Nothing of importance took place till March 15 1855. Rev W.D. Fitch, William Estabrook and Thomas Babbit came to the house of the writer requesting to know if I was willing that there might be a church organized in their places.

“Reminiscences of the Rhode Island Bar”, by Abraham Payne, 1885 pages 90 – 96

“…in 1836 he was a rather mature student in the office of Attorney General Greene, and might be seen on Westminster street, towards the close of a pleasant afternoon, resting himself after his morning studies in pleasant intercourse with the young ladies, …. At this time Mr. Currey was a bit of a dandy; he parted his hair in the middle, and wore a blue coat with brass buttons, with a buff vest and yellow kid gloves. He came out of college in 1835 without a degree, because he and his classmates were to conscientious to permit any distinction among their number in the assignment of parts at Commencement. He intended at one time to enter the ministry, and, in fact, was a licensed preacher and well grounded in the doctrines of his denomination. He was a Calvinistic Baptist……

Not long after he came to the bar, the movement in favor of an extension of suffrage was started in the State, and Mr. Currey early took a prominent position on the side of Law and Order. He was a native of New Brunswick and a naturalized citizen of the United States. He took great pride in his fidelity to the institutions of his adopted country and State. In what was known as the Dorr war, in 1842, he joined a military company and attained the rank of sergeant; but while most of the young lawyers of the Law and Order Party attained military rank which entitled them to ride about on horseback, I do not think that Sergeant Currey was ever mounted. He was for many years secretary of the T. R. I. A. O. E. A. O. F., a sort of debating society, …..

Mr. Currey acquired much distinction by his able defense of Nicholas Gordon, indicted as accessory to the murder of Amasa Sprague. He afterwards for many hears occupied a high position at the bar as counselor and advocate. He was engaged in much of the important litigation in the State during his active professional ife. He rendered valuable and important service as counsel of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad Company. He was one of the counsel engaged in the contest over the will of the late Colonel Thomas Halsey. …..

Mr. Currey was not a popular orator, but he was an earnest, clear and powerful speaker. I often said of him during his life that he was the most ‘sure-footed’ member of the bar. Give him an opportunity for full examination of a question of law upon principle and authority, and he rarely, if ever, made a mistake. I doubt if his deliberate judgment was ever overruled by the tribunal of last resort. If it was, I should be inclined to say, so much the worse for the tribunal. In the examination of such questions, I think he derived much benefit from his early theological training. His mind worked with the logical force and precision of an old Puritan divine of the seventeenth century. Mr. Currey was a careful student of English constitutional history, and while he adhered to the opinions in the Church and State inherited by him and his Baptist brethren from Roger Williams, he was no believer in the doctrines commonly called democratic. He was of the Hamilton rather than of the Jeffersonian school of politics. As a man, Mr. Currey was amiable and generous to a fault. Like all the rest of us, he had some weaknesses, among them a morbid sensitiveness. He liked to say pleasant things, and he like to have pleasant thenigs said to him, and anything like ridicule or neglect stung him to the quick. But he was the most placable of men……

At length there came to Mr. Currey failing health, as the years drew nigh in which he could say, ‘I have no pleasure in them.’ He was rather a lonely old man; but kind friends were about him to the last, notably Henry C. Whitaker and William W. Hoppin. After his death, religious services were held in the vestry of the First Baptist church, and his pastor, the Rev. E. G. Taylor, D. D., spoke of his many good qualities, and especially of the confident faith which sustained him in the mortal hour. His friend, Governor Hopin, spoke in warm terms of eulogy, and commended his virtues to the imitation of his professional brethren who were present. His remains were taken to New Brunswick, and he sleeps among his kindred.”

In the 1870 census, Samuel Currey was a lawyer living in a lodging house in Providence Ward 2, Providence, Rhode Island.

ix. Eunice Currie b. 19 Apr 1807 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 24 Sep 1880; m. 9 Mar 1837 Waterborough to Charles Hoben. His parents were Reuben Hoben (b. 1 Aug 1769 in Cornwallis Township, NS 1 – d. 1850) and Elizabeth Ebbett (b. 1791, d. 1845) Eunice and Charles had three children

x. Mary Jane Currie b. 15 May 1810 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 5 Nov 1861; m. Samuel Coy (b. 25 Oct 1803 Gagetown, New Brunswick – d. 28 Jun 1882 Gagetown New Brunswick) Samuel’s parents were Rev. Benjamin Coy and Sarah Cottle. Mary Jane and Samuel had 5 children. He second married 7 Jan 1864 – Fredericton, York, New Brunswick to  Ruth Amelia Estey (16 Dec 1824 – 30 Sep 1881.)   Samuel had 9 more children with Ruth and died at the age of 78.

Ruth was Mary Jane’s second cousin.  Her parents were Jonathan Estey (b. 12 Mar 1781 ) and Ruth Amelia Hartt. Ruth’s grandparents were John Endicott Estey(b: 14 Dec 1742 in Rowley, Mass) and Mary “Molly” Hartt (b: 6 Nov 1750 in Mass.)  Ruth’s great grandparents were Richard ESTEY I and Ruth FISKE.

ix. George William Currie b.19 Apr 1813 in Gagetown, Queensbury, York Co., New Brunswick; d. 19 Nov 1890 in Welsford, Queens County, New Brunswick; m. 4 May 1840 Kingsclear, York County, New Brunswick to Susan Elizabeth Sutherland (b. 1815 in New Brunswick – d. 5 Aug 1886 in Springhill, Kingsclear, York County, New Brunswick) Her parents were George Sutherland (1784 – 1874) and Hannah Wasson (1786 – 1868) George and Susan had seven children born between 1841 and 1856.

Looking from Springhill to Mouth of Keswick

George lived and worked with his father in law George Sutherland. The family sapped the trees for Maple syrup to sell at market along with wool, produce, dairy and meat. They also worked with tanning, carpentry, growing grain and in the 1871 Hutchenson Directory and 1871 census it shows George Currie owned and operated a Grist Mill in Springhill, Kingsclear Parish, York County, New Brunswick. By the end of his life he was considered an Esquire, noted by his daughter Clarinda Amelia who took care of her father in his last years at the home in Fredericton, New Brunswick. George would travel to Larchmont, New York where his son George Emery and son Duncan Currie were living.

The Local people of the Kingsclear Parish in York County, New Brunswick say that a Dam was built in the St John River which flooded a burial ground close to the Currie Land. Some of the stones were placed elsewhere in the area and those who did not claim their Ancestors were left under what is now called The Head Pond. The Memorial stone for the children of David and Dorothy Currie includes George W Currie. Perhaps this is where his body was moved however a record of this needs to verify this fact. George and Susan Currie’s daughter Clarinda Amelia married Jacob William Babbitt and after her father’s death the Babbitt family headed west to Alberta. From there Clarinda’s trail goes cold and she may have died and was buried in Alberta.

x. James Robert Currie b. 20 Dec 1815 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; d. 8 May 1897 in Upper Gagetown, Queens, New Brunswick; m. 13 Oct 1850 at Canning, NB to Sarah Amelia Hoben (b. 25 Nov 1833 in New Brunswick – d. 1920) Sarah’s parents were Reuben Hoben and Rebecca Hawes/Humes. James and Sarah settled at Gagetown and had six children.

James was admitted as an Attorney June 11, 1846 and then admitted as a Barrister June 13, 1848. He practiced in Gagetown and was the registrar of probates, and clerk of the Queens county court. He was appointed Way Officer June 13, 1856.

The family can be found in the 1871 census for Gagetown Parish: Curry James R., 50, NB, Baptist, English, Lawyer; Curry Sarah A., 38, NB, Baptist, Irish; Curry Eliza, 19, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Lemuel A., 14, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Helen M., 12, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Sarah V., 10, NB, Baptist, English; Curry Augusta F, 10m, NB, Baptist, English, b May

James was instrumental in the founding of The Grand Orange Lodge in the Province of New Brunswick, which was organized, April 10, 1875.

Quoted from the Queen’s County Historical Society News Letter, Vol. 4, #3, pages 4 & 5: “It is an easy transition of thought from one of New Brunswick’s oldest schools, to the oldest university in the province, – the University of New Brunswick, which form many years has been preparing public leaders for their careers, here or in distant fields. A study of the “Register of Former Students and Graduates of U.N.B” issued in 1924, shows that a large proportion of Queens County students entered U.N.B. from the Gagetown Grammar School, and in many cases provided Canada with outstanding leaders in law, in the Church, the field of medicine, as teachers, and more recently as engineers.

First student from Gagetown ….. and James Robert Currey, who became an attorney in 1848. Law was a favorite field for Gagetown students. The J.R. Currey mentioned above, had a son, Lemuel Allan Currey, D.C.L., 1895. J.R. Currey’s grandson, Adrian B. Gilbert, B.A. 1916, M.A. 1919, was a Rhodes Scholar, and a B.C.L. of Oxfod University in 1922. He is a well-known Saint John lawyer. His brother, Lemuel Allan Gilbert, received his B.A. in 1914 and M.A. in 1918, and his B.C.L. from King’s College in 1922. He is a High School teacher in Vancouver.”

Lucy’s second husband Israel Oakes was born about 1776. Ref RSchaffer, JCHatt J. Hatts records have Sarah Estey’s and Thomas Barker’s marriage as September 12, 1761. This record continues with Sarah having a second marriage to an Isreal Oakes on July 6th, 1816. This raises some questions about the marriage of an Isreal Oaks to a Lucy Esty on July 6th 1818 which is from R. Schaffer’s Estey data. I can’t find another reference to Israel Oaks.
