The picture above is of the Philemon Lawrence house of Pickle Hill, Zealand, York County, NB. Philemon Lawrence was 2nd great grandfather.  

 

 The homestead picture below,  from the early 1900s is the farm on which at least 3 generations of my paternal ancestors were raised.  It began as a Jewett farm in the 1800s, then Gordon for the first part of the 1900s, and finally  the Lawrence farm. On the left hand side in the foreground of the picture is the Jewett family cheese factory.  On August 2, 1893 the newspaper reported that the butter and cheese factory at Keswick Ridge had started operation. A picture of the Jewett family in front of factory can be found on the Family Photo 2 page. The homestead today is located on the Kee Road in Keswick Ridge, NB. 



The picture below is a shot of Keswick Ridge as it is today from outside my parents new home. On the left hand side, my childhood home can almost be seen. Below this is a present day picture of childhood home. 




The picture below was found by my mother at a yardsale. It shows the old road leading down to the St John River from Keswick Ridge.  Today at the river's edge in the center of the picture stands the Mactaquac Dam and power generating station.
