NOTE: Elijah Estabrooks was the great-grandson of Rev. Joseph Estabrook of Concord; ELIJAH< ELIJAH ESTABROOK & HANNAH DANIELL < JOSEPH ESTABROOK (1869 - 1733) & HANNAH LEAVITT (1864 - 1728) < REV. JOSEPH ESTABROOK (1640 - 1711) & MARY MASON (1640 - ) < JOSEPH ESTABROOK (ca. 1610 - ) & ANNE BRAINARD (ca. 1610 - ). They all returned from their visit in England to live in Rhode Island in 1730. His family then moved to Sherborn, Mass in 1733. After the death of Elijah's father in 1740, his uncle Joseph Frost became his guardian. Elijah stayed in Sherborn until 1746. Elijah married in 1750 in Haverhill, Mass to #1 MARY HACKETT. Elijah and Mary lived in East Haverhill, Mass from 1750-1757. They moved to Boxford, Mass in 1757. Elijah served from 1758 to 1760 in Col. Prebble's Regiment of Provincials, and fought at Ticonderoga. He was sent to Halifax in 1759, and remained there until Nov. 25, 1760; during this time he became a sergeant. Elijah and Mary moved to Halifax and then to Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1763. They moved to Portland Point on the Saint John River in 1765. In 1773, they bought 250 acres of land in Conway, near the mouth of the Saint John River. (An old census, dated Aug. 1, 1775, shows he had cleared 7 acres of land and built a log cabin). In 1776, Elijah took part in an expedition against the British at Fort Cumberland. NOTE: Ernest Clarke, in "The Siege of Fort Cumberland, 1776", McGill- Queen's University Press, 1995, a very well researched book, said Hugh Quinton and Daniel Jewett were asked to muster their militia along the Saint John River. Edmund Price and Benjamin Bubar of Gagetown joined "the Cumberland party", as did Elijah Estabrooks of Conway... But he said all five, Quinton, Jewett, Price, Bubar and Estabrooks, remained in the St. John River Valley. Elijah and Mary moved to Gagetown in 1777. After Mary's death, Elijah married in 1778 in Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada to #2 SARAH HAMMOND. (She had previously been married on September 24, 1764 in Marblehead, Mass to James Oakes.) From the Studholm Report (1783): GAGETOWN: "#8. Elijah Easterbrooks, has a wife and 8 children, a log house with 2 rooms, and about 12 acres of land cleared. Came from Cornwallis about 16 years past, settled at the mouth of the river, and says he was drove up by the rebels." Elijah and Sarah moved to Cambridge (Waterbury) in 1787. He was a farmer and a member of the Congregational Church. He died shortly before Aug. 11, 1796 at the home of his son John in Swan Creek, Queens Co., New Brunswick, Canada. Elijah was buried at Mill Cove. (In 1932, the gravesite was on the farm of Jefferson Dykeman; the tombstone was no longer there at that time).

Sometime after this branch moved to New Brunswick, Canada, the name became ESTABROOKS, or in a few cases, ESTABROOKE. Some branches, returned to the original spelling of ESTABROOK at a later date, including Elijah's youngest child Hammond, who moved to Aroostook County, Maine with most of his children.
