I was looking at the heavily bearded photo of my 2nd great-grandfather, Cyrus Hughes Young (1822-1886)<\/a>. That is his wife, Mary Garcelon (1824-1912)<\/a>, next to him. They were Canadians and lived in Oak Bay, which is part of Saint David in Charlotte County, New Brunswick.<\/p>\n

Sturdy looking ancestors.<\/p>\n

According to the 1870 U.S. census, they had moved and were then living in Lewiston, Maine.<\/p>\n

\u201cNotorious\u201d horse thief Herbert C. Montague used an alias, Henry Davis, when he stole a team of horses from Cyrus Young. The thief was arrested by Lewiston Sherriff Wiggin. At his hearing before Justice Greene \u201che waived examination and was held\u201d on $1,000 bail which he was unable to raise.<\/p>\n

With that high bail we can tell they were taking his arrest seriously. He was held at the jail at Haverhill, New Hampshire, pending his trial \u201cappearance at the November term of the Supreme Judicial Court at Plymouth,\u201d New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
