An Account of the Earliest Settlers - The next, and as it proved, the last teacher of the Indian Academy (at Sussex) was Joseph R. LEGGETT. A native of New York, he had early come to New Brunswick and had, probably about the year 1798, married Mary MARTIN d/o Dr. John MARTIN, who lived at Penobsquis on the farm now owned by Daniel McLeod. Mr. and Mrs. Leggett had three sons, David Denison LEGGETT, the eldest, was highly respected in St. John and died there Oct. 6th, 1831 at the age of 32 years. William MARTON, the second, was for awhile a Methodist Minister and subsequently an actor in the United States, but is perhaps most favorably known as the first poet of Sussex. Joseph Cameron LEGGETT, the youngest, married December 31st, 1830, Charlotte Lucretia LEONARD fifth d/o late Henry LEONARD, Esq. Both Joseph R. Legett and his wife possessed good education, literary tastes and refined manners and were considered excellent teachers. They resided in the Academy until the breaking up of that establishment, after which they retired to their own house, the clebrated Lansdale Cottage, on the farm mentioned above. Mrs. Leggett died on the 9th May 1854, at the age of 76 and her husband in June 1863 at the age of 96.
