Bear Island Cranberry Isles (*) Island 0.7 mile SE of Northeast Harbor entrance; 0.2 mile due S of Savage Point. (44°17’03”N, 68°16’06”W). Common (Des Barres 1776a; Anderson 1839; USCS 1872, USGS 1971; DeLorme 2000). Variants: Bare Island. Rare (BHT 5/16/1940, p. 6). Although no documents or maps are recorded using Bare Island, McLane (1989, p. 76) speculates “This island is named Bear on most editions of the ‘Atlantic Neptune’ (1776), but seems, because of its small size, so unlikely a habitat for the beast of the name that it is probable the intent was to identify the island by its treeless western aspect. Bear and Bare were frequently interchanged in early island nomenclature.” The Atlantic Neptune uses Bear on at least two maps (Des Barres 1776a and 1776b). In 1847 the American Coast Pilot describes Bear Island as “… a small island covered with spruce trees” (Blunt 1847, p. 137). And 19th century photographs of the island show it to be heavily wooded. Robersons Island. Rare. “Their names are Great Cranberry, Little Cranberry, Sutton’s, Roberson’s and Baker’s Islands” (Varney 1881, p. 183). “The first English settler within the present limits of the [Cranberry Isles] town, was John Roberson [sic], who, about 1761, settled upon the — 4 — island which bears his name” (Wasson 1878, p. 25). “The Cranberry Isles were first settled by John Roberson [sic], in the year 1761 … ” (Sweetser 1888, p. 97). Robertsons Island. Rare. “ … not especially spoken of until John Robertson settled on one of them, which is known as Robertson’s Island” (Dodge, E. H. 1871, p. 36); “ … in 1763 … John Robertson [settled] upon one of the Cranberry Isles, since called by his name” (Tuck and Homer 1880, p. 56); and “The first English settler within the limits of the [Cranberry Isles] town was John Robertson, who located upon the island which bears his name in 1761-62” (Chadbourne 1955, p. 498). Robertsons Island was an early variant for Tinker Island where John Robinson was the first settler (McLane 1982, p. 410). Comment: The western end of the island is the site of the Bear Island Lighthouse, built in 1839, but decommissioned in 1981 and transferred to Acadia National Park in 1986 (U.S. Congress 1986, Sec. 104).

Comment: Although a 1928 BGN decision favors Bunker Neck, this is not in keeping with most local usage favoring Bunkers Head or Bunkers Head. “Bunker’s Neck has no relevancy. It was called Bunker’s Head, until the Coast Survey thinking to honor Bunker by naming something for every part of his body, named this for his neck. Tradition says the original settler, Mr. Bunker, being pursued by Indians, hid among its shelving and cavernous rocks. Hence, it was called Bunker’s Hide and afterwards Bunker’s Head” (Fernald 1890a). BGN decision:

D. 1832, Vol. — 8 —

1, p. 115). “Several of these islands are called ‘Cranberry,’ singularly enough, because the excellent berry of that name grows there in quantities profitable to the goodly numbers of people who make it their business to gather them” (Nichols 1872, p. 325). “The isles derive their name from a marsh of 200 acres on the larger island, once used as a cranberry bog, but now chiefly occupied by rushes, and peopled by frogs” (Sweetser 1888, p. 97). “So called by Governor Bernard in 1762, obviously from the cranberry bogs” (Morison, S.

Deadman Point Cranberry Isles (*) Cape on the southeastern tip of Great Cranberry Island. (44°14’26”N, 68°14’29”W). Common (Rand 1893; Bates et al. 1896a; USGS 1904a, 1971; BHT 10/14/1982, p. 4; White, C. J. 2010). Origin: “Deadman’s Point derives its name from a ghastly shipwreck that occurred there many years ago, when the few mariners who reached the shore were frozen to death on the bluff, and so found by the pitying islanders” (Sweetser 1888, p. 99). “ … records a fact in history; of the storm, the wreck, and disaster” (Fernald 1890a). “A corpse was washed up there more than a century ago” (Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78). Variants: Deadmans Point. Common, especially in earlier uses (USCS 1872; Colby 1881; Fernald 1890a; Komusin 2001). Dead Man Point. Rare (Bates et al. 1915, p. 44). Dead Mans Point.

Dog Point Cranberry Isles (*) Cape on Great Cranberry Island, on the west side of The Pool and opposite Fish Point. (44°14’57”N, 68°15’35”W). Occasional (Weisbruch 1993, p. 11; Cranberry Chronicle 2012, No. 22, p. 7; oral use 6/21/2010). Origin: “I guess everybody had a dog down here” (Tud Bunker in Weisbruch 1993, p. 11). Comment: USGS 1935 “Advance Sheet” erroneously places Dog Point on Fish Point (q.v.).

Dolly Bulgers Head See Dolly Head.

Dolly Hill Cranberry Isles (*) Low summit (72’) on the southeastern cape of Great Cranberry Island; between Bulger Hill and Deadman Point. (44°14’20”N, 68°14’53”W). Common (BHT 12/26/1928, p. 3; USGS 1942b, 1971; Robinson Company 1958; NOAA 1979; White, C. J. 2010). Variant: Dollys Hill. Rare (Komusin 2001). Comment: Some sources make no distinction between Dolly Hill and Dollys Head. BGN decision: (BGN 1933, p. 268).

Comment: Some sources make no distinction between Dolly Hill and Dollys Head.

Eagle Point Cranberry Isles (*) Cape, at the northwestern corner of Little Cranberry Island. (44°15’43”N, 68°14’29”W). Common (1901 use in Dwelley 1994, p. 32; Bar Harbor Record 7/6/1904, p. 4; BHT 4/3/1997, p. C3; oral use 10/20/2009; Dwelley 2011). Variants: Hadlock Point. Common (Rand 1893; USGS 1942b, 1971; Vining 2000, p. 203). Haddock Point. Rare (Robinson Company 1958). Comment: There are two small capes associated with this name, sometimes identified separately, sometimes apparently combined. Most maps and official sources identify the more northerly cape as Hadlock Point (Street 1905 map; USGS 1942b, 1971; NOAA 1978). The second cape, 0.2 mile SSW, and adjacent to the Islesford Historical Museum, is often identified as Eagle Point (Bartlett, F. 1961; oral communication 6/21/2010). In both instances, the inclusion of the other cape may be implied. And in both cases, the alternate name is occasionally used: Eagle Point on the northerly cape (Grandgent 1991; Dwelley 1996), and Hadlock Point on the southerly cape (Rand 1893). However, “Hadlock Point is never referred to as that. It is always Eagle Point. Eagle Point is Hadlock Point on the map, locals use Eagle Point” (Libby 1985), and “ . . . the northwest point of land known variously as Hadlock Point and Eagle Point” (Brooks 1996, p. 6).

East Bunker Ledge Cranberry Isles (*) — 11 —

Two small islands (11’) and associated marine ledges in the Eastern Way, between Mount Desert Island and Little Cranberry Island. (44°16’46”N, 68°13’24”W).

A few sources identify the northern of the two islands as East Bunker Ledge and the southerly island as Bunker Ledge. Most sources do not make this distinction (Witherell 1998). Bunker Ledge Monument. A geodetic control point on East Bunker Ledge. Rare (1863 use in Reynolds, W. F. 1918, p. 68; DeLorme 2000; USNGS #PE1784). Bunkers Whore. Rare in print, but common in local folklore (Rutherford 1970, p. 71; Hightime Publications 1979, p. 32; Heckscher 1995; oral tradition). The legend of Bunkers Whore has been applied indiscriminately both to East Bunker Ledge and to South Bunker Ledge. See South Bunker Ledge for the legend. Seal Rocks, Rare (Owen 1770, p. 731, 743; editor Paltsits identifies Owen’s use of Seal Rocks as incorporating both East Bunker Ledge and Lewis Rock, pp. 731, 742). Comment: East Bunker Ledge is the site of a granite day marker, to assist entry into the Great Harbor of Mount Desert. Also see Lewis Rock, often included with East Bunker Ledge.

Eastern Way Cranberry Isles (*) Channel between Mount Desert Island and Little Cranberry Island, especially passing between Sutton Island and Bear Island. (44°16’51”N, 68°14’52”W). Common (Street 1905 map; USGS 1971; NOAA 1978, 1979; BHT 3/4/1982, p. 9; USNPS 2000). Origin: Descriptive of its position with reference to the Great Harbor of Mount Desert.

Fernald Cove Cranberry Isles (*) Shallow bay on the southern shore of Sutton Island. (44°16’17”N, 68°15’55”W). Rare (BHT 8/27/1964, p. 7). Origin: “A. C. Fernald built a house about 1853 on the southern shore [of Sutton Island] just west of the present town dock, and the cove still bears his name” (BHT 8/27/1964, p. 7; similar item in Paine 1963, p. 16).

Fernald Point Cranberry Isles (*) — 12 —

Cape on the southern shore of Sutton Island, immediately east of the present town landing. (44°16’16”N, 68°15’48”W).

Comment: Some early maps place Fernald Point 0.4 mile east of its correct location (as shown on USGS 1971). Seward Porter (1837a) shows Fernald Point as an island.

Fish Point Cranberry Isles (*) Cape on the east side of Great Cranberry Island; at the northern end of the cape that encloses The Pool. (44°15’04”N, 68°15’04”W).

Origin: “ … so called because years ago fish were salted and dried and also smoked, in the small smoke houses standing there at the time” (Spurling, T. 1979; supported by Fernald 1890a). At one time the site of numerous wharves: “ … up to here there was one, two, three, four, five six, seven, eight, nine wharves” (Tud Bunker in Weisbruch 1993, p. 14). Rutherford (1970, p. 72) more simply says it is “for fish”. Variants: Fish House Point (Owen 1770, p. 743), the earliest documented use. Dog Point (USGS 1935). Erroneous.

Flag Point; Flaggs Point See Black Point; Rice Point.

Gilley Beach Cranberry Isles (*) Long, curving beach occupying the western section of Little Cranberry Island’s southern shore, from the end of Main Street to The Maypole. (44°15’17”N, 68°14’00”W).

Variant: Gravel Nobble. Rare (NOAA 1978). Possibly erroneous spelling derived from Green Nubble, which is identified separately as Thrumcap.

Grays Beach Cranberry Isles (*) Beach on the north shore of Little Cranberry Island, in the curve south of Bunker Head. (44°15’53”N, 68°13’48”W). Occasional (Brooks 1996, p. 14; Pyle 1985; oral use 7/26/2010). Origin: For “ . . . the very first summer cottage built on the island by the Rev. Fredrick Gray from Cambridge” (Brooks 1996, p. 15).

D. 1832, Vol. 1, p. 7; USCS 1872; USGS 1904, 1971; Jellison 1990, p. 79). Origin: “ … so named for a cranberry marsh of some 200 acres on the southwest side of the island” (Hebert 1951, Vol. 2, p. 308). Great Cranberry Island gave its name to the island group. See Cranberry Isles. Variants: Big Cranberry Island. Common (Bowditch 1894, Vol.1, p. 3; Bar Harbor Record 12/24/1902, p. 1; Field 1934, p. 2; McSorley 1996, p. 4). Common oral use (5.15/1985; 6/21/2010). Big Island. Uncommon in print (Sawtelle 1917, p. 2; Collier 1978, p. 26). Oral use (Dwelley 2011). Crambury Island. Rare (1821 cited in Eckstorm and Smyth 1927). Cranberry Island. Common (Owen 1770, p. 731; Warnicke 1814; Walling 1860; Yard 1924, p. 7; Collier 1978, p. 23; Howland 1985; Smyth 2008, p. 33).

Comment: Most variants are used interchangeably with Great Cranberry Island, and multiple variants may appear in a single source. The Bar Harbor Times is particularly undisciplined in its use of variants, with at least eight versions recorded between 1935 and 2007 (Big Island, Big Cranberry Island, Big Cranberry Isle, Cranberry Isle, Cranberry Island, Grand Cranberry Island, Great Cranberry Isle, and, of course, Great Cranberry Island.

Great Harbor of Mount Desert Multiple (*) Bay enclosed by Mount Desert Island to the north and the Cranberry Isles to the south. (44°15’55”N, 68°16’18”W). Common (Dorr 1917g; Phillips, A. D. 1975; BHT 9/9/1982, Sec. 2, p. 1; Hansen, G. 1989, p. 20; Islander 1/15/2015, Sec. 1, p.1). Not generally found on official maps (USGS, USC&GS, NOAA). Variants: Cadillac Harbor. Rare (Eliot, C. W. 2nd 1981, map, p. 19). — 14 —

Great Harbor. Regular use (Bernard 1762; Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 40; BHT 8/16/1990, p. A1). Harbor of Monts Déserts. Rare (Cadillac in Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 19). Harbor of Mount Desert. Rare (Blunt 1822, p. 128; Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 19). Also see Frenchman Bay for application there. Mount Desart Harbor. Rare (Smith, J. 1837). Mount Desert Harbor. Rare (Bernard 1762; Anderson 1839). Fernald (1890b) includes Somes Sound; “Extends from Cranberry Isles to Somesville” although this is not a customary interpretation. Mount Desert South Harbor. Rare (historic use in Hale 1949, pp. 137, 186). Mount Desert Sound. Rare (Carleton 1799?; Warnicke 1814; Parkman 1865, p. 277) The Pool. Rare (Williamson, W. D. 1832, Vol. 1, p. 78). Saint Sauveur. The 1613 Jesuit colony applied Saint Sauveur to both the settlement itself and to the adjacent harbor, presumably the Great Harbor of Mount Desert, but possibly to Somes Sound or to both. The settlement “ … was called by the same name as the harbor, St. Sauveur” (Biard 1618, Vol. 2, p. 249). Comment: Both Cadillac and Bernard provide contemporary descriptions of the Great Harbor. “The Harbor of Mount Desert is very good and very beautiful. There is no sea inside, and vessels lie, as it were in a box. There are four entrances, the Northeast one is the best; it has nine fathoms of water” (Cadillac 1692). “ … a spacious bay formed by land of the great island on the left & one of the Cranberry Islands on the right. Toward the End of this Bay which is called the Great Harbour, We turned into a smaller bay called the south west harbour” (Bernard 1762). Samuel Eliot Morison (1960, p. 19) bemoans the demise of the name: “ … it is unfortunate that this name, ‘The Harbor of Mount Desert’ or ‘The Great Harbor of Mount Desert,’ has gone out. It appears in an Act of Congress of 7 July 1838 authorizing the building of Bear Island lighthouse ‘at the entrance of Mount Desert Harbor,’ but I have never found it on any map or chart. The name ought to be revived.” With the naming of “The Great Harbor Collection” museum in Northeast Harbor, the Great Harbor of Mount Desert is receiving renewed attention. BGN decision: 1928.

Great Head Cranberry Isles (*) Cape on the western shore of Great Cranberry Island, directly east of Seawall Point. (44°14’55”N, 68°16’02”W). Common (Colby 1881; Rand 1893; Bates et al. 1896a; USGS 1922, 1971; NOAA 1978; BHT 5/11/1989, p. B19; White, C. J. 2010). Variant: High Head.

Rare (Bar Harbor Record 11/13/1890, p. 5). Comment: “Gut. … A narrow passage. A channel or run of water …” (O. E. D. 1989). As a generic term in the U.S. , Gut is “of limited occurrence” (Stewart, G. R. 1970, p. 193).

Samuel Hadlock first settled near Hadlock Ponds about 1785, where he was engaged in lumbering; about 1790 he moved to Little Cranberry Island, taking up fishing and opening a store (Fernald 1890b; Street 1905, pp. 170, 220; Thornton 1938, p. 282; Rutherford 1970, p. 75). Variants: Hadlocks Cove. Formerly common (USC&GS 1879, p. 140; Champlain Society 1882, p. 89; USC&GS 1882, 1885a; Colby and Stuart 1887). Hadlock Harbor. Rare (Brooks, 1996, p. 1). Hadlocks Harbor. Rare (Blunt 1847, p. 137; 1867, p. 329). Rejecting this variant, “… it’s always been Hadlock Cove … ” (Libby 1985). Islesford Harbor. Rare (White, 1920; Pyle [2010?]). BGN decision: 1928.

Regular use (Bowditch 1913, Vol.2, p. 26; Thornton 1938, p. 280; Bartlett, F. 1961; Pyle 1985; Dwelley 2011). Comment: Site of the prominent cottage of William O. Sawtelle, built in 1912, which takes its name from The Head. When Sawtelle was pondering a possible name for the cottage, a local resident commented “Don’t matter what you call it … that’s The Head” (Libby 1985).

[William E.] Hadlock when a separate post office was established here and the joint name of “Cranberry Isles” was retained for the larger island & ‘Islesford’ was chosen because of the ford which exists at low tide between Little Cranberry and Baker’s islands—an ingenious and picturesque suggestion of Col. Hadlock. … ” (Bowditch 1923-1928, Vol. 4, p. 2; also see Dwelley 1994, p. 30; Brooks 1996, p. 1; Dwelley 2000, p. 117). Islesford Post Office was established in 1884 (Dow 1943, p. 135). Variants: Isleford. Rare (Colby and Stuart 1887). Job Stanwoods Landing Place.

See Street (1905, pp. 162-163) for Job Stanwood genealogy. Comment: Islesford is often used with reference to Little Cranberry Island (q.v.). “Properly the name of the village and post office, not of the island” (Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78).

A18; NOAA 1978; Dwelley 1995, p. 34; Maine DMR 2009, p. 1; oral use 7/13/2011). Origin: One of the most speculative names, frequently discussed with the usual proviso “nobody knows.” The most common oral tradition, cited by a number of permanent and summer residents, suggests that the site may have been used for springtime maypole dances. “Reportedly, the festival of Spring was celebrated here by erecting a Maypole, about which the villagers danced, many years ago. This custom was brought by a beautiful Frenchwoman, Margarite [sic] La Croix Stanley, wife of John Stanley, the first permanent settler on Little Cranberry” (Spurling, T. 1979, p. 19). Rachel Field’s Calico Bush (1931) contains the poem “Maypole Point” and the story of Marguerite Ledoux, a Bound-out Girl who used the maypole to distract the Wabanakis. The account is repeated elsewhere (Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78; Rutherford 1970, p. 79). The name may have been derived from a pole placed on the point to serve as a reference for local fishermen (Pyle 1985), an idea supported by at least one published source: “… at present a — 21 — lone tree in which Capt. Wm. Mayo has erected a flag-staff … is the only thing suggestive of a Maypole” (Fernald 1890a). Variants: Maypole Point. Common (Colby and Stuart 1887; Hadlock 1962; Dwelley 2000, p. 9; oral use 8/6/2000). The May Pole. Rare (Brooks 1996, p. 5). May Pole Point. Rare (BHT 5/25/1989, p. C9; Stanley 2012, p. 2). Comment: A private residence by the name of The Maypole, constructed in 1902, is located near the tip of the cape (Cole, T. M. 1987).

Natural Bridge Cranberry Isles (*) Sea arch on the north shore of Sutton Island, near the west end. Rare (Paine 1963, p. 19; oral use 8/5/1996). Comment: “ … the ‘Natural Bridge’ which arches over a narrow and deep chasm and is one of the ‘sights’ of our Island. Many years ago I ventured to walk across this bridge but it has since been worn too thin to be attempted today” (Paine 1963, p. 19). “I first saw it in the summer of 1953 when we were renting the Kendall House. The natural bridge was substantial then so that it could be walked over above a narrow cove, maybe 10 or 15' above high tide. This cove stretches maybe 20 or 30' south beyond the bridge into the land mass. The bridge still exists but has been much diminished by wave action during storms. It would be unwise now to attempt to walk over it” (Jim Shaw personal communication 9/25/2012).

Origin: Named for Tom Stanley who “was found dead one day . . . in his small fishing boat at his favorite fishing shoal, in the Eastern Way north of Little Cranberry” (Spurling, T. 1979, p. 19). “The shoal is a small rising in the bottom east and north of Cranberry Island where one can catch ‘a mess o’ fish’ in short order. Many of the Cranberry Islanders fished it but none with more avidity than Old Tom Stanley. Other people tried other places, but Old Tom stuck fairly close to that one spot. One day Old Tom failed to come in, and when they found him he was anchored on the shoal, lying half in and half out of his dory with his head under water. At first people thought he had drowned, then they thought he had died of a heart attack, but at any rate he was buried. However, Old Tom’s troubles were not quite at an end. Someone started a rumor that he had been poisoned for his money. The body was exhumed and an autopsy was performed with no results. He was reburied and the matter was dropped. The shoal, however, became his monument as Old Tom Shoal” (Beck 1957, pp. 19-20, citing Judge Hadlock of Seal Cove). Variants: Old Tom Shoal. Rare (Beck 1957, p. 20). Tom Shoal.

Rare (McSorley 1996, p. 1; Bangor Daily News 6/26/27/1999, p. G1). Origin: When this road was constructed, 1968-1974, “… the descent off the rock ledge down onto The Heath, and the jog north were a particularly wet and deep area. There the McSorleys needed a lot of fill, so they combed the island for junk. Fortunately, there was plenty, including many old refrigerators. These provided a good roadbase, and in tribute, the hill sloping down onto The Heath is called ‘Refrigerator Hill’” (McSorley 1996, p. 3).

Origin: Formerly a particularly favorable duck hunting location. Variants: The Shootin’ Hole. Rare (historic use in Dwelley 2000, p. 29). The Shooting Gap. Rare (BHT 3/8/1990, p. B1).

Short Brook Cranberry Isles (*) Stream on the northern end of Great Cranberry Island, rising east of Preble Cove and north of Schoolhouse Hill; flows easterly into The Pool. (44°15’06”N, 68°15’40”W).

South Bunker Ledge Cranberry Isles (*) Marine ledge at the southern entrance to the Western Way; 1.2 miles SSW of Long Point, Great Cranberry Island. (44°13’36”N, 68°16’59”W). Common (British Admiralty 1882, p. 18; Colby and Stuart 1887; BGN 1892, p. 38; Rand 1893; Bates et al. 1896a; NOAA 1979; U.S. Coast Guard 2009, p. 22). Origin: Surname of early settlers in the Cranberry Islands. Variants: Bunkers Ledge. Rare (Owen 1770, p. 732; Cilley and Cilley 1896, p. 1). Bunker Ledge. Rare (Mount Desert Herald 10/2/1884, p. 3). Bunkers Whore. Rare (Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78). Bunkers Whore Ledge. Rare (Blunt 1867, p. 230; USC&GS 1879, p. 140). The legend of Bunkers Whore has been applied indiscriminately both to East Bunker Ledge and to South Bunker Ledge. Current oral tradition seems to favor the application to East Bunker Ledge, as do some printed sources (Beck 1957, p. 14; Rutherford 1970, p. 71). Other sources favor its application to South Bunker Ledge (Loomis 1939, p. 103; Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78). There are numerous variations to the story. “South of Mount Desert lies a reef euphoniously known to the government’s publications as South Bunker Ledge. The name mendaciously implies a coal pocket or a seagoing golf course, and is so completely bowdlerized as to conceal a tragic legend and the pretty name first associated with the ledge. It seems that a certain Captain Bunker, in order to punish his light-of-love for derelictions unmentioned (but I trust not infidelity), marooned her on the ledge at low water. I don’t know whether or not the rising tide washed away her sins, but I do know that her memory lingers on, the ledge still being known to Maine fishermen as Bunker’s Whore” (Loomis 1939, p. 103). “ … Bunker’s Whore—the spot, so legend has it, where Captain Bunker’s lady love perished one moonlight night as she rowed out to his ship for a clandestine meeting” (Beck 1957, pp. 13-14). “The real name is ‘Bunker’s Whore.’ The story goes that a certain Captain Bunker took the town trollop of Southwest Harbor sailing in his sloop, and that they ‘carried on’ so that the vessel ran hard and fast on this ledge” (Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78). — 26 —

“East Bunker Ledge. Known locally as Bunkers Whore. Captain Bunker of the Cranberry Isles sailed to Bar Harbor one night to take the town prostitute for a boat ride. Not giving his sailing his undivided attention, he grounded his boat on this ledge. Another version of the story says that the prostitute was rowing out to meet him when her boat capsized, and her body washed up on the ledge” (Rutherford 1970, pp. 71-72). The legend is “pure hokum” (Libby 1985). West Bunker Ledge. Uncommon (Walker 1905; Liebow 2013). West Bunkers Ledge. Rare (Colby 1881; Thornton 1938, p. 279). BGN decision:

Variant: Sutton Island. Rare (BHT 11/19/1981, p. 4). Comment: The Sutton post office was discontinued in 1947 (Little 1995, p. 83).

Sutton Island Cranberry Isles (*) Island, one of the Cranberry Isles group; 0.7 mile N of Great Cranberry Island, 0.6 mile NW of Little Cranberry Island. (44°16’21”N, 68°15’07”W). Common (Peters, John 1795; Walling 1860; Rand 1893; Bates et al. USGS 1904a, 1971; Brown, L.E. 1971, p. 24; Russell, J. 2012, p. 2). Origin: For Ebenezer Sutton, of Ipswich, a contemporary of Abraham Somes and nominal owner of the island. “Named after an early settler” (BGN 1933, p. 731). Fernald (1890a) implies an unknown origin: “Speak out, yet gods, and tell us why so quaint a name became attached to so beautiful a spot.” Variants: Suttons Island. Common (Jones and Mason 1765; Owen 1770, p. 742; Des Barres 1776a; Porter, S. 1837a; USCS 1872; Crowninshield 1886, p. 282; Morison, S. E. 1960, p. 78; BHT 7/10/1986, p. 8). Sutton Isle. Rare (Grant, L. S. 1875, p. 194). Sullon Island. Rare (Warnicke 1814). Sullons Island. Rare (Des Barres 1776b). Lancasters Island (Williamson, W. D. 1832, Vol. 1, p. 78; Drake 1875, p. 39; Chadbourne 1955, p. 498). For Joseph Lancaster. “This Lancaster had on June 18, 1805, bought from the William Bingham heirs 65 acres, being all of the western part of Sutton Island, … [His house stood] on or near where ‘The White Hen’ now stands” (Paine 1963, p. 4). However, McLane (1989) notes that Joseph Lancaster’s “ … deed to sixty-five acres on Sutton was executed only in 1835” (p. 78) and “George L. Paine bases his claim of the 1806 settlement on a supposed deed to Lancaster dated 1805; I find no such instrument in the Hancock Registry” (p. 331). “Joseph Lancaster of Sullivan and his wife, Nancy Rich, widow of Joseph Moore, and Isaac Richardson, son of James Richardson, the first town clerk of Mount Desert, were the first settlers on Sutton which was often spoken of as Lancaster’s Island during their residence there” (Thornton 1938, p. 280). Comment: The story of Ebenezer Sutton’s acquisition of the island has been retold frequently. It first was recounted in an 1816 letter from Abraham Somes to Eben Parsons, of Boston. On a 1755 visit to Mount Desert Island Somes “purchased” Greening Island from a Wabanaki chief for one gallon of rum. “Then the said Sutton asked the Chief how much for that island pointing to an island laying to the Eastward of the former island that I had bargained for [and] the Governor said two — 28 — quarts. We paid them the rum” (Somes 1816). The story is dubious suggest Prins and McBride (2007, p. 225; 2011, p. 53). “Although Eben Sutton never lived on his island, at least not long enough to have any record made of his residence, his name is attached to it” (Thornton 1938, p. 28). “Ebenezer left the region and never returned, but his surname survived … ” (McLane 1989, p. 78) Coordinate with Somes’ story at Greening Island. BGN decision: 1928 (BGN 1933, p. 731).
