Molly Hartt was born on November 6, 1750 to Jonathan Hartt and his wife, Mercy Hawkes Hartt. Molly married John Endicott Estey on August 28, 1769, in Maugerville, Sunbury County, New Brunswick. John was born on December 14, 1742, in Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts.
John had moved from Rowley, Massachusetts, to Maugerville, New Brunswick in 1764 with his father and siblings, Zebulon, Richard, and Sarah.
According to the book, "The River St. John" by Reverend William Raymond, published in 1910 (pages 334-335), Zebulon Estey arrived in Maugerville, New Brunswick, on January 15, 1765, on the schooner of Captain Francis Peabody. He paid 12 shillings for passage from Newburyport to St. John, New Brunswick. In addition, he paid 13 shillings and 6 pence for "his club of cider" while on the voyage.
After arrival in New Brunswick, Richard Estey and Sarah's husband, Thomas Barker, built a saw mill on a small creek near Middle Island.
In 1779, they sold the saw mill. Richard Estey signed a church covenant for a distinct church society. At the same time, many people moved from Maugerville because of the spring flooding along the river. Zebulon Estey moved to Gagetown. Others, including Israel Estey, Moses Estey, and Amos Estey, moved across the river to Burton.
