BREWER.
1 JAMES BREWER, the first of that name to settle in Boothbay, is said to have come from Salem, Mass., but the date is uncertain. His minor son, John, chose Israel Davis guardian, June 4, 1771. His wife's name is unknown as is the date of her death. His death evidently occurred in 1771. It is thought that the Brewer and Bennett families were related before leaving Salem. They located on Spruce Point.

BROWN.
Two brothers, Samuel and Jonathan Brown, appear in the records among the earliest settlers. As young men already residing in town they were married before our records commence. They may have been sons of Edmund Brown, who set. under Dunbar; if not so, their ancestry is unknown. They lived in the vicinity of his settlement, easterly from Pisgah. If these were not his sons the trace is lost of the children he left in 1739.

BRYER.
1 SAMUEL BRYER settled in Boothbay between 1767 and 1770. He came from Kittery and was married at the time, and a part of their children were born in Kittery.

They were the grandparents of William Whipple, one of the New Hampshire signers of the Declaration of Independene.

FAMILY HISTORY.
BURNHAM.
1 SOLOMON BURNHAM, thought to have come from Newburyport or vicin- ity, set. at Pleasant Cove, where Charles Dodge now lives, before the Revo- lution. The name of his wife is unknown, as also are the dates of their deaths. The families of two sons, Solomon, Jr., and Ephraim, were recorded. There were probably other children, but if so they are thought to have lived in Edge. or New., and this distribution of the early members of the family makes it a difficult task to properly present them. Children:

CAMERON.
1 Daniel and Eleanor Cameron were among the earliest settlers of Cape Newagen Island. They came from Scotland. He was b. in 1750 and she in 1758. They located at Cameron's Cove, which has ever since been owned and occupied by their descendants. He was engaged in fisheries to quite an extent in his later years. They evidently had three sons, but there appears nothing to indicate other children. In their last years they lived with their son John. He d. Oct. 11, 1819; she d. Apr. 3, 1834. Children:

(*8) DANIEL3 CAMERON (John,2 Daniel1) m. Mahala Thurston, Bristol, 1841. His business career is referred to in Chap. XXI. He followed the fisheries through his life, either in company with his father, alone, or in com- pany with Freeman Orne. He d. Nov. 19, 1898. They had a family of ten chil., two only of them now living: Mahala, who m. Emerson Mckown, and William, residing on the old homestead, who m. Mary E. Todd. The tax list of South. shows other members of the Cameron family, but records have not been obtainable to show their descent.
CAMPBELL.
The Campbell name, as the reading world well knows, is Scotch wher- ever found. This family, while not coming to Townsend with the Dunbar immigration, was of the same general descent with that band, and came from a similar locality, for similar reasons, with similar hopes and expecta- tions for a new and untried home in the wilderness of Maine. We evidently fail to reach the original Campbell immigrant to Sheepscot. The first one traced is James, who was born there, May 22, 1725. In 1753 he married Sarah Malcomb, who was born Apr. 16, 1733. They had eleven children, the fifth and sixth of whom, Joseph and Michael, settled in Boothbay, due, probably, to marrying here. Therefore we will consider James of Sheepscot the head of the family, drop nine of the children, who have no real relation to us, and consider only the two who settled here. The reader is referred to Cushman's Hist. of Sheepscot, pp. 360-62.

Later in life, while his sons, James and John, were at sea, he was influenced to exchange this property with his brother-in-law, William Maxwell Reed, for a tract, with buildings, on the east side, which included the late Rufus Campbell's estate, extending south far enough to include the land where the Maddocks and McClintock establishments are.

John named the east side the "English Side," and for years it was referred to as such. Joseph d. Apr. 12, 1822; Jane, wife, d. Mar. 12, 1814. Children:
