THE CHATTEAUs.
Another family by the name of Kitfield
resided for some years near the Grants,
but there is no entry in the town records
concerning the family. Farther down the
island shore lived three families by the
name of Chatteau-Joshua, Charles and
John who came there from Deer Isle. They
were fisherman, boat builders and farmers.
The record of family of Joshua is
not found in the town books.

In the boyhood of the writer, Charles
Chateau was master and owner of pink
stern fishing vessel named "Credit". 1t
was in the days when bounties were given
to fishing vessels. The writer and other
boys of his acquaintance made fishing
cruise with Capt. Chateau among the
outer islands-Swans Island, Outer Long
Islands, etc.-fnding their own provisions
and having half the fish they caught. They
did not catch many fish but had pleasant
outing at what was called "bounty catch
ing'' for the vessel. A year or two later
the .sCredit" was seized by the United
States authorities for obtaining bounty
illegally; was condemned and sold.
And the connundrum among the boys
was, "Why cannot Charles Chateau do
any more business?" The answer was,
"He has lost his Credit"
