very few oral histories, mainly in the family of Ephraim Briggs and Hannah

records found online.
Where
family trees from online databases were used, it was found they were in
substantial agreement with the government records, usually starting around
1850, that are found online as above. The dates, names and people identified
from the government records were used where there were conflicts or omissions.
Your
humble scribe, much like yourself, was educated at a university where
professors insisted that he provide a footnote for each of his sources and that
he weigh thoroughly the surrounding or collateral
evidence that gives the ring of truth to any writings. Your humble scribe
certainly did the latter but is congenitally unable to undertake the former
because it slows down the accumulation and allocation of data which is the fun
part. Sources will be remitted on request right cheerfully. Please research the
above databases first and you may render your requirement for a request
righteously redundant.

Recently,
the online database compiled by Andrew Burdett came to my attention. In it he
maintains a family tree for one of the Briggs families which contained this
information about a Patriot, Abiel Briggs, who fought in the Revolutionary War:

It
is submitted that this resolves the question of which Abiel Briggs was the
Patriot and which the Loyalist.
Here
is what is known about Abiel Briggs the Loyalist:
Abiel Briggs, b 1761 in North
Kingston, Kent County, RI, d 23 Oct 1844 aged 83 years [Info # 1 Johnson 10: 2161 November 2, 1844 Saint John New Brunswick Courier - died
Jacksontown, 22nd Oct., Ahiel (sic) BRIGGS, age 84.] and was buried with his wife at Jacksonville Community Cemetery,
Carleton County, NB, [From PANB database of Daniel F. Johnson Vital Statistics
in NB Newspapers: Volume 89 Number 2075; St John Daily Sun of 25 Jan 1893: ...
In the early settlement of this country Eben Briggs and Abial Briggs located as
what is now known as Sheffield (Sunbury Co.) N.B. Both
of them were married before they came to this country and perhaps the former
had the shortest courtship on record. Having gone to a Quaker meeting, he and
his future wife were married by the preacher at the close of the meeting. These
men settled near Loader place, so called. As their families with the other
settlers increased, the school teacher became a necessity and one John Palmer's
services were called into requisition, who in his humble way 'taught the young
idea how to shoot'. At this time it was not unusual to see a troop of horses on
Sunday mounted by people of both sexes going to Maugerville to attend divine
service. If the like could be seen in this day, it would astonish the natives.
Abial had several children, one of whom in his day was well known in St. John
as, James Briggs the ship builder; and Elijah Briggs, another of his sons,
removed to Carleton County. Making his way without a road through the forest,
he drew a large tract of land and settled in what is now known as the Seventh
Tier, where he became a prosperous farmer and raised a large family, most of
whom are now residents of the county. He died about a year ago at a good old
age, leaving a large amount of wealth to his children. He was a consistent
member of the Free Baptist Church. Info
#2 Woodstock, New Brunswick,
February 19, 1886 (a letter from Abiel’s
daughter Diadama Briggs Baker to a nephew) Dear Nephew, In a letter from you of January 29th, you
requested me to give you a few names and dates concerning our ancestry. I will
commence with my great-grandfather, George Chase, one of the three brothers who
came to America, My great-grandfather settled in Massachusetts U.S. {see:
Ancestors Chase Family} James Chase, his son, was my grandfather, who married a
Miss [Elizabeth] Douglas. They also lived for a time in Massachusetts. At the
time of the revolution they left the country and came to New Brunswick,
settling in Sheffield Queens.[ Sunbury Co., Lakeville Corner] They left four of their children in
Massachusetts in care of their grandfather, George Chase. Their names were
Seth, James, Elizabeth and Phoebe. Elizabeth, your grandmother, lived in the
family of her grandfather Chase for seven years and helped to wait upon him in
his last sickness. After his death she came to New Brunswick at the age of
fourteen. When eighteen yrs. old she married Abiel Briggs*
from Massachusetts U.S. I think she was married in 1789. They had
fifteen children - Mercy, Phoebe, Ephraim, Polly, James, Lydia, Elizabeth,
Sarah, Abiel, George, Elijah, Diadama, Abel, Sibyl and William. All these, with
the exception of Abel married and have heirs. In 1827 your grandfather and six
youngest children moved to Jacksontown, Carr Co[Carleton],
NB. In 1828 your uncle Elisha Baker and I were married; and in 1830; in
Jacksontown at her father's house your mother Sibyl was married by Parson
Street. She was born April 5 1813 and died April, 1840 aged 27 yrs. She left 4
sons Harford, Sanford, Nelson and Frederick.
Diadama Baker * His brother, Ebenezer Briggs, married
Elizabeth's sister, Diadama Chase. Info

Massachusetts, John Winthrop, in 1630. Passage to the New World for himself,

Lewiston sunjournal.com Robert Bishop Saturday, June 4, 2005 AUBURN - Robert
"Bob" Bishop, 90, passed away Thursday evening, June 2, at his
daughter's home in Auburn with his loving family at his side. Bob was born in
Auburn, Oct. 20, 1914, the middle son of Irving Howard Bishop and Ada Lown
Bishop. He grew up on the North River Road and worked on his grandparents'
farm, which is now Gracelawn Cemetery. He spent many youthful Julys on the
Additon farm as a rake boy. He graduated from Edward Little High School in 1932
and married his high school sweetheart, Mona Jane Jewett, on Aug. 18, 1934.
They spent many happy years together raising their five children. Mona passed
away May 27, 2003. He worked 23 years for Milliken-Thompson, first as a truck
driver, then as a produce manager. After leaving Milliken-Thompson, he worked
for 25 years at Food Town, which is now Hannaford. He loved helping people find
the right fruits and vegetables. He knew almost every variety and was always
surprised to hear today's prices of produce. After he retired, he loved to
spend his spare hours at Farmer Whiting's, helping Buster and Elmer. He was a
member of High Street Congregational Church and among his favorite enjoyments were
reading, especially about history, and playing cribbage. Bob also loved to
garden and always had a supply of carrots for the neighborhood children. If you
ever saw his garden, you would know he enjoyed spending many hours there,
farming organically, even picking the bugs one by one. His favorite saying was
"One for me and one for the bugs." He and his wife, Mona, canned
enough tomatoes and pickles every year to supply the
entire extended family. Bob and Mona enjoyed cooking for all the family
gatherings. You could always count on a 30-pound turkey every Thanksgiving and
Christmas. July Fourth was a special time for them, with a family lobster feed
at their Harpswell cottage that he built. Bob was a man of his word and a
handshake was all he needed. He is survived by his three daughters, Joanna
Smith and her husband, Richard, of Auburn, Bonnie Sollien and her partner, Don
Miville, of Auburn, Wendy Ayotte and her husband, Paul, of Turner; two sons,
Robert Bishop Jr. and his wife, Frances, of Lewiston, and Bruce Bishop and his
wife, Dominicana, of Providence, R.I.; plus 11 grandchildren; and 11
great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his four brothers, Irving, Wesley,
Carlton and Allen. END OBIT] He and Mona had children

"General Smyth" was the first passenger steamer that ever made
regular trips between St. John and Fredericton. An Act of 9th March 1812 gave
certain persons the exclusive priviledge of navigating the Saint John by steam
for a period of ten years. Among the persons were J. Ward, R. Smith, H.
Johnston and J. Fraser. They built the "General Smyth" at Marble
Cove, Portland (St. John), launched her 11th April 1816 and on 21st May
following she reached Fredericton on her first voyage up the river. In 1832 the
steamers "Woodstock" and "J. Ward" went up Grand Lake and
brought down 200 chaldrons of coal - the first that was ever received from that
place at Saint John. The "Meteor", the "Fredericton" and
the "Novelty" soon contested for the trade of the river. The
"Meteor" was under the command of Capt. MOREY, who now resides in
California The "Fredericton" was commanded
by Capt. AKERLEY, the "Novelty" by Capt. PURDY and Capt. J.T. KENNEDY
who is today a resident of Indiantown. In 1848, the "Forest Queen"
was built by F.W. HATHEWAY at Springhill (York Co.)] married [Johnson 75:977 --
