Descendents of Swan's Island's Joseph Toothaker

This summary has been derived from information in Dr. H. W. Small's 'History of Swan's Island' published in 1898.
Joseph Toothaker came to Swan's Island from Phillips in Franklin County, probably the same year as David Smith. He was an uncle of Benjamin Smith's wife and a brother of Elijah Toothaker of Deer Isle. Joseph went missing from home for some time when a search was made. He was found on Harbor Island dead from the effects of a gunshot wound. Whether accidental or foul play was not determined. The cove adjacent to his property near the carrying place is still called Toothaker Cove. He had no known descendents.
