Thomas Westbrook Waldron, bearing the same name as his grandfather and great great grandfather, was born 18 November 1785 in New Hampshire, United States. Probably born in Dover, New Hampshire, he "went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire (U.S.) in 1803, married, and had a child who died there. Then moved into Maine, and his sister has not heard of him since about 1815.".

There were attractions of timber, of jobs in the shipbuilding industry and other trades, and also relatively stable and low-cost land." "As soon as the American Revolutionary war was over, the international border meant little, and individuals and families moved freely across lieutenant"
