- Samuel W. Estabrooks, b. March 23, 1792, Canning (then Waterborough), Queens Co.; son of Elijah III and Mary (Whittemore) Estabrooks; married his cousin, Jane Estabrooks, daughter of Joseph and Lucretia (Handy) Estabrooks. About 1816 he removed to Carleton Co. and settled on Lot 16, 300 acres, in the fifth tier in the Parish of Wakefield in 1816 just across the Jacksontown road from his uncle, Ebenezer Estabrooks and they lived there. In 1851 a petition was presented to the legislature signed by Wm. Nevers, Samuel W. Estabrooks and forty-four others asking for local self-government. Mrs. Hayward of Hartland said she thought that this family moved moved to the State of Maine around 1851. It is also said that Jane may have been his second wife, his first having died after giving birth to a daughter Caroline? Florence C. Estabrooks says it is possible that Samuel W. married a first time Mary and had a daughter Caroline S. who died July 18, 1846 age 22yrs. in Fredericton, N.B. The statement below is from the booklet: 'Pioneer Families of CarletonCounty', by George H. Haward, C. G. First printing, January 1994, Second printing, with revisions, February 1996. 'Their children were: Henry A., Ward H., Frances, and Mary Jane Estabrooks. There may also have been a daughter from a previous marriage of Samuel's; Caroline Estabrooks, who died July 18, 1846, in Fredericton, aged 22 years.'
