Notes
a. Note:   Kings County Record - May 27, 1892
  Annie MUSGROVE, Lower Millstream (Kings Co.) d/o Dr. T.W. MUSGROVE, formerly of Carleton (St. John), has in her possession an ordinary school slate which is 113 years old with a remarkable history connected to it. About the year 1800, Thomas MUSGROVE of Durham, England, landed near the mouth of the Miramichi river, N.B., but not content with the prospect before him, he resolved to go to Fredericton and engage an Indian to guide him across the province, giving the brave one pound for his services. The journey was made on foot in something less than three days. Being a good mechanic, Mr. Musgrove soon found employment in Fredericton where he remained a few years, but subsequently moved to Hampstead (Queens Co.) where he soon after wedded Elizabeth SLIPP d/o Leonard SLIPP. About this time Millstream was attracting considerable notice on account of the richness and fertility of the soil and in 1810, Mr. Musgrove purchased 400 acres of land along the margin of the stream, on which he settled and where he remained until his death which occurred April 22nd, 1869. The farm was then divided between his two sons, William MUSGROVE and F. Good MUSGROVE. The latter was the father of Dr. T.W. Musgrove. The old slate referred to was used by Thos. Musgrove when a boy in England and was brought by him to America and always carefully preserved, and starnge to say has been used by four generations of little hands and is entire throughout, even to the frame. It was the first school slate brought to Millstream. L. Carleton MUSGROVE, brother of Dr. Musgrove, possesses a number of small articles he prizes as having been the property of his pioneer grandfather. Among these may be mentioned a hone manufactured from petrified wood, a razor case and a map of England and Wales with illustrations of the worlds most important battles on the margins
