Arrived in Belfast Orwell Bay on the 'Polly in 1811, with his

Indenture dated October 13, 1819, Donald leased from Lord

continuously from then up to the 1950s. Mrs. Martin died in

According to Comptonology magazine: This family was first
established after coming from N.Jersey up the New England
coast, at Quaco, now St. Martins, in St. John County, N.B.
Canada. They engaged there in making vessel,s bilge pumps,
Taff Rail posts, Lignum Vitae Shelves and blocks. This was told
by 'Grandfather' John Compton (The writers Grandfather). He
also related how either his father or grandfather had fought
off those 'damn Yankees' while standing on deck behind molasses
puncheons as they were being pursued up the coast. The joke
was that they themselves even after settling late in P.E.
island, were called 'Yankees' for over a generation by their
neihbors who came over directly from Scotland. The old english
V.S. Scotch feud has hardly yet died out in our local schools,
and blood was many times drawn by it.
James Ebenezer in a letter to Betty (Martin) McComb writes 'At
the time he was born Great Britain was in possession of the
American Colonies and my great Grandfather being loyal to the
British Crown when the colonies determined to throw off the
British yoke, gathered his family together and moved up to New
Brunswick Canada and settled in a place called Quaco-now
renamed some other name.
tacksman of Glenmore in the parish of Portree. Tacksman means

daughter of Rev. Donald Macaulay
Lived in a place called Comptons creek in New Jersey U.S.A.
Supposedly related to Nancy Hanks mother of Abe Lincoln
Daniel Vaughan Twin of Obediah. After his fathers death in
1761 he emigrated to Chester, Lunenburg County, N.S. with his
Mother Dinah and younger brother Anthony to join his older
brother John and his wife Mary. A record in Chester shows that
John Vaughan owned land in 1764, which indicated that he had
taken up his grant at least four years earlier. Daniel and
Anthony built a saw and grist mill, near each other, on a
stream known as 'Vaughan's Stream' in a section known as
Western Shore near Chester. Daniel married Lydia Mosher and
years later sold his property as Western Shore to Anthony and
moved to Newport, Hants County. In 1796, along with Philip
Mosher, they moved their families to Quaco (St. Martins),. N.B.
where they recieved land in the Orange Rangers Grant. They were
said to have operated the first sawmill in New Brunswick.
DANIEL, son of David and Dinah (Baker) Vaughan, was born at
Scituate, Rhode Island, Feb. 21, 1747 (twin to Obadiah). He
married Lydia (Mosher?). Daniel made a will on June 11, 1807
and then executed another on Jan. 27, 1808. He died soon after
making this will. All of his children were named in the will.
However when the children signed off on a parcel of land to
Daniel's nephew James Mcleod; it will be seen that Henry
Vaughan was either deceased or out of the country. Daughter
Rebekah may have died, because her husband, Peter Crandall,
signed for her share.
Daniel is said to have operated a saw mill with Phillip Mosher.
Daniel probably lived with his father and mother in Beekman's
Precinct, Dutchess County, New York, probably moved from there
to Chester or Lunenburg, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, prior
to 1774. Daniel was one of the original grantees of Quaco (now
St. Martins, N.B.). His estate was valued at 255 pounds, of
which 100 pounds was a one-fourth ownership in the schooner
'Rachel' built by his son David. This was the first ship built
at St. Martins.
At one time Daniel and Anthony built a saw and grist mill on
Vaughan's Creek in Chester. He sold his half interest to
brother Anthony when he went to New Bunswick.
It is said he received a grant of 1750 acres in Saint Johns
County, N.B. and became wealthy.Person Source
