First Rep Gen Court Brewer - Query
Mrs Bathsheba Rider Jones says "Oliver Leonard came from Norton was a Lawyer his wife an Englishwoman widow of a Physician in the East India Co. service who left a considerable money so said. He built the largest house in Brewer Kept several servants built an office a Lawyers office we supposed it was done with her money for she used to say he was very poor when she married him and had but one shirt to his back. It happened after a while that the money didn't come from the Indies as usual and he went to see about it and brought home a quantity of goods but we did not know of his bringing money & his poverty continued. When he could not live in Brewer any longer he moved into a small house across the river on the Bangor side afterward moved up river a mile and a half. The Masons used to help him, he was infirm, had gout in winter probably from lack of exercise and loving Spirits too well. We used to go in when he had the gout and help him, and Mrs L. told once how helpless he was and "Nobody there but Capt Rider and little Bathsheba".

Oliver Leonard was the son of Jona Leonard of Norton b Feb 1764. Entered Brown U. 1783. While there Shays Rebellion broke out he joined the government troops serving as Adjutant as long as his services were useful to the government. He returned to College and grad. 1787. Went into business with Maj. Thomas Fobes of Norton continued a year then studied law with Stephen Dexter of Newport R. I. and Judge Paddleford at Taunton. When he was admitted to the bar 1791 he opened an office at Taunton and continued to practice law there until 1796. About this time some resolute and industrious young men who live in the region where Mr Leonard was born determined to remove to Orrington, Me. Mr Leonard being formerly impressed with the pros- pect concluded to remove from Taunton to Orrington when he did re- move to that part now Brewer and commenced the practise of law and had a large practise He was the only lawyer and the first for the first five years in that territory which now constitutes Penobscot Co.
While living at Newport he became acquainted with Mrs Sarah Fletcher and was married to her about the time he commenced the practice of his profession. She was the widow of an English Surgeon in the American Revolution and had in her own right an annuity of one hundred guineas.
In 1802 Mr Leonard commenced a lumber business in which he was not fortunate. He was elected Rep 1798 and for the five following years. He removed in Orrington, Brewer, until about 1817 when he sold his estate and removed to Bangor with the intention of applying himself more closely to his profession but did not merit with much success, other and younger men having commenced the practise of law at Bangor. About this time the payment of Mrs Leonard was stopped and so continued for nearly twenty years. Absolute poverty overtook them by which he was much depressed. He died Jan 1878. Mr Leonard after his death lived to enjoy for a few years her recovered annuity.

My dear Sir
Enclosed is what I have learned thus far, of the matter of which you wrote me gathered chiefly by my aunt Mrs Sylvina Nickerson (who married Thos Nickerson brother to Joseph, David, Fred. etc from Cape Cod) Nickerson married Nickerson you see. Now for the record. Thomas Hinkley of Harwich Mass. married Ruth Myrick of Orleans (it is believed) March 31 1730. Their children were Seth married Sarah Berry, died in Hardwick. Thos married Sarah Covil Mary married Nathan Cro- well of Dennis. Ruth was born Dec 27 1743 married 1st husband Thos Nickerson Oct 27 1765 said Thomas with 3 others was murdered on their passage from Boston to Chatham on a clear night, when the moon was full. She was left with 3 sons & her fourth son, Thomas was born May 3 1773, about 6 months after the death of her husband. She married her 2nd husband Abner Crowell of South Dennis Apl 3 1777 who died on board the English Prison Ship "Grand Duke" Feb 8 1778 in R. I. harbour. Said Ruths twin sister Mercy married Job Dex- ter of Hardwick Mass lived and died there. In 1785 said Ruth married Gershom Phinney of Brewster who died in 1816 & she died at her son Simeon Crowell's in South Yarmouth Aug 31 1827. Her life was one of trials and privations, by poverty & ill health, but she was sustained and comforted by her religion, having made a public confession when about 20 years of age. Her baptism by sprinkling in infancy being unsatisfac- tory to her, she was immersed as a believor in Christ when about 80 years old. & ever after seemed to enjoy great peace of mind. Thomas Nickerson son of Thos. & Elizabeth Nickerson married Ruth Hinkley Oct 27 1765 Their children were
1 Myrick born Mar 27 1767 married Esther Nickerson died May 27 1847
2 Isaiah married, moved to Maine and was drowned
3 David was born July 18 1771 married Priscilla Snow Oct 8 1797 and died at sea on the passage home from coast of Africa, Feb 27 1819 where he contracted the yellow fever from which he never fully recovered.
4 Thomas was born March 3 1773 married Bethia Snow and died of hemorrage of the lungs Sept 23 1839.
Simeon Crowell was son of Abner & Ruth Crowell.
Gershom Phinney was youngest son of Gersom & Ruth Phinney Ephraim Nickerson born 1793

DEATH OF ORRINGTON MAN. Prof. B. F. Mudge, formerly Mayor of Lynn, died in Kansas on Friday last. Mr Mudge was born in Orrington Me. August 11 1817, his parents removing to Lynn when he was about a year old. He attended the common schools until about fourteen years old, when he went at shoemaking, at which he worked six years. Then fitting for college he entered Wesleyan University when he graduated in 1840, subsequently taking up the study of law. In 1842 he was admitted to the bar and practiced his profession at Lynn until 1859. He was elected the second Mayor of Lynn, serving in 1852 and 1853. Abandoning the law in 1859 in order to follow out an inclina- tion for scientific pursuits, he went West and became chemist for the Breckinbridge Oil and Iron Company of Kentucky. When the war broke out he went to Kansas, and in 1863 was appointed State Geologist. In 1865 he was elected Professor Geology and Associated Science at the State Agricultural College, and remained in that position for eight years. Since 1874, Mr Mudge has been employed in exploring the geological formation of Western Kansas. The first specimens of birds with teeth were found by him, and he furnished many of the original specimens for the engraving of Government publications.
