Crouseville

1827  

In the document, Deposition of Ferdinand Armstrong, 1827, it states:

"Joshua Christie, born also on the St. Johns, came to settle last February and lives near a mile-and-a-half above Bull on the same place lately occupied by William Dalton, where Dalton had lived about three years."[10]

Joshua Christie’s property on Map 1 can be located in the southwest corner of Section 5 and is marked “Christie”. This document indicates Joshua Christie settled his Crouseville property on the south bank of the Aroostook River in February 1827. William Dalton, who settled on the property in 1824, apparently moved out of the Crouseville area after transferring his land to Joshua Christie.
