Born in Ireland or Scotland, we do not know when he came to New Brunswick, Canada and married Margaret Hotham. They had three children in in New Brunswick, Ca before coming to the USA about 1948.
They came to Mars Hill, Aroostook Co. Maine. Aroostook is an Indian word meaning "Beuatiful River." When these new lands opened along the Aroostook River Valley, many settlers came from Canada by sled and team, crossing the rivers on ice. For a one-hundred pound barrel of flour and a team of horses, they could buy a small farm.
There were four other families besides James McDunnah living in Mars Hill in 1850. The total population of the town was 29.
John Ruggles age 30, farm worth $400, wife Mary E. age 28, Samuel M. 5
and John H. 4 years old.
John Bridges 36, farm worth $600, wife Sarah 34, Heuben 18, Mary L. 11,
Alpheus 9, Margaret 7, Susan 5, Sarah 3.
Tamer Snow (widow) 46, Oliver 25, Nathaniel 23, Moses 21, Cyrus 16,
Isiah 14, (all laborers), Jeremiah 7 and Johnathan.
James Michael McDunnah 22 (laborer), Margaret 25, Martha Jane 5,
Samuel 4, Hannah 3 (all born in New Brunswick, CA.), and Catherine 1
born in the United States.)
John Brown (or Brain) 48 laborer, Olive 22 and son Jessie 2.
All laborers probably worked for one of the two farms in the area. Aroostook Valley farmers planted and harvested potatoes by hand, to be used as starch to size cotton material. They also loaded them on wagons and pebbled them to townspeople across the border to Canada.
