I have no connection at all to this family, but found this and
thought you might like it. From the book "History of Camden and
Rockport", p. 421:
"William Carleton, Jr. died Jan. 9, 1876, at the age of 66 years. He
was the eldest son of William Carleton and was bon in Camden Sept.
28, 1809. He received a liberal education and in early life began
trading in Rockport (then Goose River) village, where with the
exception of four years spent in California, he continued in business
all his life doing, in addition, an ice business. He and his
brother, E.E. Carleton, established the firm of Carleton & Co. which
continued for some time after his death, but finally became merged in
the Rockport Ice Co. Mr. Carleton was frequently elected Town Clerk
of his town and might have held many prominent public positions of
trust and honor but preferred to attend closely to his business. He
went to California in 1849, being one of the companies sailing from
Camden in the brig. Perfect, and returned in 1853. Mr. Carleton was
always a strong advocate of temperance, was a consistent member of
the Congregational Church, and a high minde!
d, kind-hearted, philanthropic gentleman. Mr. Carleton married for
his first wife, Phebe H. Loring, of Yarmouth, Maine, and for his
second wife Sarah Loring a sister of his first wife. He had two
daughters, Frances E. and Sarah L., both of whom married Rev. Thomas
E. Brastow."
