Thomas and Matthew Limeburner came here from Scotland prior to 1775. Matthew took up land at West Brooksville and Thomas at North Brooksville. Matthew was a Loyalist and went to St Andrews where he and others were granted a tract of land by the King. Thomas and his wife Jean Glen who was only 16 years of age when they came here, raised a large family. With Andrew and Thomas there came from Scotland a lad by the name of Cunningham, and later he became known as Cunningham Limeburner.
["Thomas" here is probably John Lymburner who went to St Andrews but apparently returned to Maine. "Andrew" is clearly the Matthew mentioned earlier in the paragraph. This is the first I have heard of Cunningham adopting the surname Lymburner.]

- Lymburner Mill
[From Shirley O'Neill. 11 September 2018]
Our farm, on both sides of the highway, was number 66. A brook ran through our pasture on the other side of the road, called Limeburner Brook, as it came from the lake of the same name. Several times I have read that "on the Waweig shore", Matthew Limeburner had a mill. That would have had to be where this brook entered the Waweig River, next door to us, and there was a falls there. I asked our Bartlett neighbour if he ever saw any evidence near those falls where a mill might have been. He said no but his father Lewis Bartlett was dead by then. His father Lewis had dammed the brook near his house and made enough electricity at his'"little" falls to have electric power with rather dim lights, but lights nevertheless and nobody else had lights of any kind! Except kerosene lamps! Lewis and his brother Hollis Bartlett had some mills at "Bartlett Mills" just a bit north almost to Waweig, the same mill where your ancestor probably worked. They made boxes and barrels and other wood products. On that same neighbouring Bartlett property to our farm are two graves, that of Nehemiah Gilman and his wife Mrs Margaret (Limeburner) Gilman. Her date of death was Nov 29, 1843 age 72. Information is on the broken stone, which is tended by our neighbour's elderly widow. There is a story told by Margaret Limeburner about the preparations for travelling from Penobscot to St Andrews overland and getting the wagons ready for the journey and how excited the children were.This story was in a letter written by Margaret to a relative in Scotland and was somehow kept. They must have travelled mostly along the shore as there would be no roads back then.

He begs further to submitt to the consideration of Council that a much longer stay here will prevent his reaching Quebec till next summer, which would prove exceeingly prejudicial to his interest.

MATTHEW LYMBURNER
In colonial times Matthew Lymburner, a native of Scotland, lived in Penobscot, Maine. During the American Revolution he served as a guide to the British forces. Following the war he settled in St Andrews, New Brunswick. His sons John, Alexander, Matthew and James Lymburner settled in Caistor Township, Lincoln County, Ontario. Mathew Lymburner?s Claim for Revolutionary War Losses was heard by the Commissioners of Claims at Saint John on 22 Mar 1787. (AO 12 Vol. 11 P. 105-111)

To the Commissioners appointed by Act of Parliament for enquiring into the Losses and Services of the American Loyalists.
The Memorial of Matthew Lymburner
Humbly Sheweth.
That your Memorialist settled in Majabigwaduce in the year 1770, and the beginning of the Rebellion wishing to preserve his Loyalty to the King and at the same time stay by his Property affected in public to be Neuter, altho? in private he gave his Assistance to every Loyalist that he could. But refusing to carry arms at Matchias for which he was fined ?3 Sterling and also to join in the Mobs his principles became known, and having no dependence but on the Lumber Trade for Subsistence not a Son of Liberty durst openly trade with him which reduced your Memorialist to such misery that his numerous Family must have starved had not Nathan Philips relieved them to the utmost of his Power.
On the arrival of the Troops at Penobscot the Commander in Chief knew your Memorialist to be one of the Loyalists having a List, which had been carried to Halifax by Colonel Goldthwait of the well affected upon the River. That he took the Oath of Allegiance and when the Fort was invested all the new sworn Subjects were called in to assist in defending it, but that he was privately advised from the Garrison to go home and take care of his numerous Family which he was not able to effect, for on the fourth day of the Siege he was taken and confined on board one of the Rebel vessels in Irons and in that Situation he remained 15 days.
That upon raising the Siege the Rebel Plunderers deprived your Memorialist of the use of his Farm and Crop, and drove him with his Family to the Garrison where they remained till the next April, and then returned to the Improvement of the Mill and Farm, on which he continued until the Evacuation when he removed to St Andrews.
That he was always ready and often employed a Guide up the River to the Troops sent out in search of Deserters and lent every assistance in his power to harass the Rebels.
Wherefore your Memorialist has subjoined his claim which if your Honors upon Examination should think fit to approve he humbly requests you will recommend him as a proper Person for Compensation.

Evidence on the Claim of Matthew Lymburner late of Penobscott Massts Bay
Claimant Sworn,
Says he left Penobscott and came to St Andrews in October 1783. Says he had no possible opportunity of sending a Claim to England under the former Act of Parliament. His Brother John had an opportunity of sending from Penobscott as he remained there.
He is a native of Scotland he came to Penobscott in 1767, upon the breaking out of the War he was settled at Penobscott upon his Property as a Farmer and Miller
Says he never took any part with the Rebels in any way whatever.
He joined the British Troops when they took Possession of Penobscott, and ever since has been under the Protection of the British army. He often acted as Guide and he then carried arms.
He now resides ten Miles up the River from St Andrews.
Property No 1 150 Acres, seven Miles from Fort George Penobscott, he purchased about 1771 of two Men who held by possession, there was a Saw Mill on it, and he purchased one third Share of it, he paid ?55 Sterling for it.
When the purchase was made it was nearly wild Land, he cleared about 30 Acres and built a House and Barn. Says that in 1778 he was offered ?800 Sterling for this in Congress Money.
This is valued at ?280 Sterling. The share of the Mill is stated at ?100 Sterling twice what it cost him.
No 2. 50 Acres of Land in the same Bay the Title was possession. He had cleared 4 Acres of Meadow on it.
He could have sold the Land for ?10 Sterling on account of the Timber.
Says that both these Tracts are now uncultivated, his Brother has possession of the Mill, the House is empty. Thinks he might sell his Lands for a little money, but thinks he dare not return as he would be prosecuted for the Cattle drove off by the Troops when he was Guide.
Says that the Americans have not yet taken possession of any Property of Loyalists at Penoscott.
He does not know that Colo Goldthwaite?s Property is Seized or Sold.
The Rebels carried off a yoke of Oxen two Cows and two Sheep and about twelve Tons of Hay. Hay before the War sold for 15/ Str p Ton.
[71/135]
23 March 1787.
Doctor John Califf Sworn.
Says he quitted Penobscott in Septemr 1783, then there was no account of an Act of Parliament being passed in favour of the Loyalists, and he believes the Loyalists who came to St Andrews from Penobscott had no opportunity of sending their Claims to England under the former Act.
He knew Claimant during his residence at Penobscott, he was as active and as zealous a friend to Government as could be.
Witness has been on a Property which belonged to Claimant and his Brother, there was a Mill on it, but a third Person had a share of the Mill.
Witness believes that John Lymburner Brother to Claimant may be in possession of the Lands and Mill.
He recollects hearing that the Rebels drove off his Cattle as reprisal for Cattle which he had assisted to drive into the British Post.
Doctor Califf thinks that Matthew Lymburner cannot return to Penobscott.
He was taken Prisoner by the Rebels during the Siege of Penobscott and cruelly treated but was liberated when the Rebel Fleet was drove ashore.
