Brown of Pemaquid recalls Grays visit to Boston
The piece honors William D. Mussenden of this city as oldest bandman, recounting his 1851 start with the Arrowsie band and Bath City Grays, their Boston trip during the Three Days Jubilee for Lord Elgin, and the Grays’ uniforms and music. It also documents John Brown of New Harbor as Maine’s first English settler, via the 1625 Indian deed to Brown, with related coast history and later land disputes.

Descendants Spread From Maine Pioneer Brown of Pemaquid
The article traces the lineage of Majre Jean Brown of Pemaquid and her descendants across New England. It notes that none of her three daughters left known recorded children, while her descendant line through Nias Brown and Nicholis Deming expanded to Gloucester, producing a broad posterity including Elwell, Delvers, Paines, Stevens, and Demens families, with later marriages connecting to Gould and Chaupies. The piece emphasizes 1000 years of family diffusion from Maine’s early settler line.
