From the Book "Issac Simpsons World"

Community cooperation availed much, but it was the one-on-one neighborlinessof people that was esteemed above thrift or righteousness. Good living conditions in the frontier community were in direct proportion to the cooperative sociability of its inhabitants. The photographs of Issac Simpson encapsulate one such community, the Estabrook Settlement, demonstrating, the combination of frontier independence and cooperation.

The Estabrook family is typical of those in Issac Simpson's neighborhood. Backed by a long tradition of religious leadership, this large family of hardworking, community-oriented people brought with them the expertise and

courage for survival in yet another frontier situation.

Hammond Estabrook's first American forbear, Joseph, arrived in Massachusetts Colony about 1660, graduated from Harvard, and was minister in Concord.

One of Joseph's grandsons, Elijah, was a Minuteman and participated in the Ticonderoga campaign in 1727 and the Halifax campaign in 1759.

Elijahs son Hammond married Rebecca Glasier, daughter of Benjamin Glasier of the family of New Brunswick lumbering entrepreneurs. After her death in the late 1830's, her husband moved with at least eleven of thirteen children to new lands and forests of opportunity in Amity. He and his youngest son Jedidiah, were activley involved in town affairs.

Hammond Estabrook Probably moved into Aroostook County, Maine in the late 1830's or mid 1840's.
