Upon removing from Long Island,
Samuel Cain settled at Blue Hillavillage.
James Fogg, from Freeport, settled upon
Long Island sixty or more years ago. His
wife was Chateau, sister of Charles,
Joshua and John. He had family of
children, the eldest being Sarah, who mar
ried Pearly Cain, who lived in Brooklin.
Mr.. Fogg's house was on the east side of
the lower end OF the island. His family
record is not found in the copy of the
town records in possession of the writer.
Next to Mr.. Fogg's place was that of
Stephen Durham, half brother of the
Chatteau's above named. His wife was a
sister of Eliphalet Grindle. They had no
children.
Abel s. Town also lived on Long Island
before and at the time OF his marriage to
Sarah R. Choate, youngest daughter of
George Choate.
One or more Conary lived at one time on
Long Island, and in later days other
families, unknown to the writer, have
lived there. On the easterly side from
Stephen Dunham's place to the head of
the island there have been no houses, and
only one, that of Moses Friend, on the
central ridge. Along the ridge, from the
upper end to the Carter places and thence
along to the lower end ran rough and
hard road.
A granite quarry was opened at the
lower end some years ago, but was eventu-
ally abandoned and several mines were
opened, but did not prove a success.
At this writing, 1905, probably few, if
any, of the descendants of the families
named in this paper are living on the
island. In outline and physical appear
ance, except having been denuded of its
forest trees, it remains much in the con-
dition it presented to one who knew it
sixty or seventy years ago.
