There is no record to show that Dudley
Carleton was a member of the church at
Blue Hill, that he had a family, or when
ana where he died.
The Cartoons were men of activity and
business energy in the earlier years of the
settlement of the town, They lived near
by their mills upon lands later conveyed
to Amos Allen and his sons, who also
built and owned for many years by the
Cartoons. just where stood the houses
OF David, Edward and Dudley Carleton,
the writer has no means OF definitely
determininga at this writing, but the house
OF Moses was standing in the writer's
boyhood upon the site of the present
house OF the late Joseph Allen. II was
two-story structure in front and of one
story in the rear, but what year it was
built cannot now be stated, though
probably shortly after the Carletons came
to the locality from Andover.
In the early years of 1900 the Cartoons
built ship near the mills, called the
Juno, of which Dudley Carleton, End,
| son OF David, was master. She was $50
tons, single deck, and fuil-rigged ship,
in which the father of the writer made
voyage to Liverpool, England, and back to
Boston as one OF her foremost hands.
A number OF other vessels have been
built there in later years, and lumber
from the mills, and wood from the landing
have been scowed down the Salt pond,
and passed out over the Fore Falls to form
many cargoes shipped to western markets.
IL was no uncommon sight to see half
dozen or more vessels at anchor below the
Falls receiving cargoes from Carletons or
Aliens mills and other landings along the
shores of the Salt pond, in the boyhood of
the writer.

charter to build the bridge, and requests
to Mr.. Allen to present the petition and
advocate the measure.
