  • DCB profile notes:
    • Author and surveyor; b. 17 Sept. 1786 in Burton, Sunbury County, N.B., son of Ebenezer Hatheway, loyalist; m. 8 Nov. 1809 Sarah Harrison, and they had at least three children; d. 23 Aug. 1866 at Saint John, N.B.
    • Calvin Luther Hatheway spent his early life in Sunbury County where he became a land surveyor in 1809 and took an interest in “an improved system of agriculture.” He moved to Saint John in the early 1820s, and there earned the rank of adjutant and later major in the 2nd battalion of the Saint John County militia, in which he continued to serve until 1842. He also served as justice of the peace for the city and county of Saint John from 1838 to 1844.
    • It was no doubt his knowledge of the geography of the province that induced him to write The history of New Brunswick in 1846. It was to serve as a manual and guide for the traveller, student, businessman, and emigrant. The work contains a brief sketch of the founding and early settlement of the province by the loyalists, as well as a description of its various counties, natural resources, and boundaries.
