Other Events and Attributes:

• NB: Some of the original Maine settlers arriving from New Brunswick c. 1840

Notes:

A rumor about how Buffalo got its name is that the Bragdons and Bolstridges, of the community?s original settlers, came from Buffalo, NY. No geneology buff of those families has been able to establish that as a fact. Two brothers from the original Bolstridge family that migrated from Bristol, England, to Saint John's, New Brunswick, in about 1820, eventually moved over into Ashland and Masardis in the 1840s. The son Albert of one of those brothers moved into the north end of Portage in 1878 and married into the Bragdon family who already lived there.
