     Notes about Thomas Small (Schmall) are taken from Over The Portage, page 80, appendix IV. 'Thomas Small was born in Philadelphia in 1776 son of Johannes Wilhemus Schmall. He had lot 29, north side of Mirimichi. He was the Overseer of Fisheries 1815; married Mary, daughter of Lewis and Sarah Crabtree Mitchell; children - Lydia (1798); Sarah, (1800), Mary (1801), Nancy (1803), William (1804), Susanna (1806), Daniel (1809), Francis Peabody, (1810), John Lewis (1813), Bartholemew, Elizabeth, Thomas (1820)moved to Belfast Academy Grant*, Aroostook County, Maine in mid 1840's; died 14 Aug 1851' *Belfast Academy was Ludlow, Maine.
     In the book, it is noted that grantee relatives marred grantee relatives, a spouse of a grantee was the sister of another - Thomas Small's wife was Mary Mitchell, daughter of Lewis Mitshell, and a sister of John and William Mitchell. 'Intermarriage was a significant factor in the initial pattern of settlement'.
     'Two settlers came from the Saint John area - ....Thomas Small' (page 28)
     'Among the Ludlow (Canada) residents of the original 1809 grantees, nine were living in Maine by 1850 ....Thomas Small' (page 62)....This would seem an unusual migration with one-sixth of all the 1809 grantees moving to Maine after living on their Ludlow (Canada) farms, some more than 40 years. This must have been a traumatic experience considering that all were over 60 years of age. Not surprisingly, a large number of the first generation sons and daughters followed the lead of their elders ... Few of the original families remained untouched by this emigration of the 1840's .... The movement was concentrated among particular extended families - Munros, Mooers, Rideouts, Smalls, Sutters and Wassons were virtually eliminated from the Upper Mirimichi by 1850.¹'
