Book Review: History of Sackville, New Brunswick
Posted 18 January 2008
Reviewed by: Paul Milner, FGS Forum
- Title: History of Sackville, New Brunswick
- Author: Dr. W. C. Milner
- Originally published: 1934, reprinted 2006 by Global Heritage Press, 43 Main Street South, Campbellville, Ontario
LOP 1B0, Canada.
- Details: 172 pp. Illustrations, Hardcover
Sackville, now part of Westmoreland County, New Brunswick, is close to the border with and was once part of Nova
Scotia. We learn about the early French settlers removed or hiding in 1755, whose homes were destroyed. After the
Acadians were removed, English-speaking settlers arrived in 1761, primarily from Connecticut and Rhode
Island. They were followed in 1772 by settlers from Yorkshire, England. The colonists developed the land, built
churches and established industries such as shipbuilding and mills to grind wheat and saw lumber.
The book includes a number of lists of: settlement subscribers; original grantees; grant applicants;
early land transfers; teachers and schoolchildren; school trustees; church elders; burials; ships built in Sackville
with names of owners; board members, militia officers; early marriages; county officials. The book concludes with family biographies; some very detailed especially for the pioneer families.
This is
an interesting history of the community mentioning lots of people, but its value for genealogical research is hindered by
the lack of an index.
