Notes:

It appears by the records that there were four persons who settled in the south part of the town by the name of Carleton, whose given names were Edward, Dudley, Moses, and David, all from Andover, Mass., and evidently brothers. They built the mills first known as Carleton’s mills, mentioned in the town records in 1770 for the first time when Dudley Carleton was elected a selectman, in 1771 was re-elected and in 1772 was chosen one of a committee to keep the fish course clear at Carleton’s mills.

——
Dudley Carleton, Esq., was chosen delegate to attend a Convention of State delegates July 14, at Concord. The question was put whether the Town would instruct Dudley Carleton, Esq., to concur with the other delegates of committees in lowering the prices of Country produce in proportion to the Merchants lowering the price of their Merchandise, and it passed in the affirmative.

At a meeting held this day Dudley Carlton, Esq., was chosen as agent to attend the General Court on the 2nd Wednesday of their next session in order to defend the Town Claim to 18 Continental Soldiers they hired for three years, from the Eastward parts: against the claim of several towns to said men.

After his wife died, Dudley removed from Bradford to Maine, in the neighborhood of Sedgwick and Blue Hill. He took up government land, built mills, and left his property to his three sons, then removed to Bradford, his former home.

Dudley married Abigail WILSON on 25 Feb 1745 in Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts. Abigail (daughter of Joseph WILSON and Rebecca KIMBALL) was born on 25 Nov 1725 in Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts; died on 23 Oct 1799 in Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts; was buried in Ancient Burying Ground, Bradford, Essex, Massachusetts.

——
The petition of Christopher Babbage and Hannah his wife to the Court at Salem, 27 Nov. 1678, requesting the appointment of an administrator to the estate of Mr. Edward Carlton, sometime of Rowley, for the benefit of the children of the said Hannah, represents that John Carleton was sent back from England by his father with a letter of attorney, by which he received a portion of the estate. Probably this was the power of attorney, dated 9 Aug. 1650, given to Humphrey Reyner and Joseph Jewett, but not entered in the court records until 5 Mar. 1656. If so, John Carleton probably lived with Joseph Jewett during the following two years of his minority, and so naturally at his coming of age led the second daughter of the family to the altar that the marriage remained unrecorded. In the will of Joseph Jewett, dated 15 Feb. 1660, he is named, as "my son John Carleton," one of the executors. Patience Jewett chose Mr. John Carlton as her guardian, and it was allowed by the court 26 Mar. 1661.

He soon removed to the neighboring town of Haverhill, as shown by a deed of William Holdredge and Isabell his wife to John Carleton of Haverhill, conveying fourscore acres of upland in Haverhill, 22 May 1662. He also purchased lands in Haverhill from Robert Swan in 1663, from Edward Clark in 1665, and from Robert Clements in 1667 . On 11 Jan. 1664, John Carleton and Hannah his wife of Haverhill sold to John Gage for one hundred pounds 300 acres in Rowley, joyning to the farm of Patience Jewett. (Norfolk Deeds, vol. 2, pp. 64, 83, 84, 174; Ipswich Deeds, vol. 2, p. 222.)[:ITAL]

In 1664 Mr. John Carleton was chosen town recorder and Clerk of the Writs for Haverhill, offices in which he continued until 1668.

From a case of Crosby vs. Swan, a writ dated 25 Mar. 1665 preserves his excellent penmanship with this representative autograph.

In several similar signatures he was consistent in reviving the spelling of the name used by his great-grandfather and name-sake in Yorkshire, which has been followed by many American members of the family. At a court held at Salisbury, 14 Apr. 1668, Jno. Carleton is recorded as a member of the Jury of trials; and 29 Sept. 1668 a petition was presented to Ipswich court by John Carleton and four others as selectmen of Haverhill. (Records and Files, Quarterly Courts of Essex Co., vol. 3, pp. 198, 239; vol. 4, pp. 20, 120.)[:ITAL]

It would appear that this active career was cut short by a sudden illness, for "The last will & Testament of Leift. John Carleton of Haverhill, made January: 1668" is on file in the Essex Probate at Salem, the date, as may be observed, being just a week before his death. By this will he gave his homestead and forty acres of upland in Haverhill to Hannah his wife, the rest of his land and estate to be divided among his sons, with the customary double share to John, the eldest. This will was proved 13 April 1669, and bears the endorsement "The widow Hannah Carlton did renounce her executorship." There is also filed, however, a somewhat lengthy petition of the widow Hannah, of the same date, that she maybe possessed of the estate her late husband willed to her, not excepting of being executrix, and that "this honered Court would bee pleased to consider ye condition of my deare children being all but small & haipleis." 9
Death: 22 JAN 1668 in Haverhill, Essex Co., Ma 9 10
——
John was the owner of a large tract of land in Haverhill and a large part of Lawrence, Ma No record has ever been found of the conveyance of this land away. His children were very young at the time of his death and his estate was not settled for twenty-five years. It is thought that a knowledge of his owning this land was not obtained until 1860. In 1860 Benjamin Franklin Buttler began looking into the land ownership issue, but the Civil War broke out and the investigations came to an end.

He returned with his family to England, and soon sent his son John Carlton back to settle his estate in Rowley for him; but John died evidently before he was able to do so, for in the County Court records is found the following petition relative to the settlement of the estate of Edward Carlton: "To the Honoured Court now sitting at Salem this 27 of November, Anno Dom. 1678.

——
Mr Gove was known to have a forceful nature, to be quite frank, or even blunt. He did not hesitate to avenge himself if he felt he'd been wronged. This caused him to appear in court several times for "forceful language and personal assault." He was fined in 1673 for abusing Nathaniel Weare, also of Hampton, and calling him a thief. He was made a freeman 4 December 1678 and represented New Hampshire in the first assembly in 1680.

Due to the forcefulness of his personality, he was selected to lead a rebellion against the governor, Edward Cranfield. There were land and other disputes. Basically, the governor was sent to New Hampshire to "enforce" a supposed old land patent from 1622, that would revert a quarter of New Hampshire's lands and parts of Maine, so that those now living there would be forced to pay rents to the English Crown. The rebellion was rushed and all wound up captured. Mr. Gove was sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London for treason. He eventually was pardoned, after three years, by Charles II and returned to New Hampshire; his lands to be restored.

Edward married Hannah PARTRIDGE in 1660 in Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts. Hannah (daughter of William PARTRIDGE and Ann SPICER) was born in 1642 in Salisbury, Essex, Massachusetts; died in Mar 1712 in Hampton, Rockingham, New Hampshire; was buried in unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
