• 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. (https://www.accessgenealogy.com/maine/history-genealogy-bluehill-maine.htm) —— 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.
