James Augustus MacLauchlan was an officer in the 104th New Brunswick Regiment of Foot during the War of 1812. He was also the British Warden of the Disputed Territory during the Border Dispute between Canada and Maine known as the "Aroostook War."
At issue in the dispute was a tract of land that stretched north from Mars Hill to near the Saint Lawrence River. The dispute over the border between Canada and Maine arose from ambiguous language in the Treaty of Paris of 1783 that concluded the American Revolution.
As warden, Maclauchlan seized lumber that was thought to have been illegally harvested and arrested Maine census officials and surveyors who were working in the disputed territory. Maclauchlan was in turn arrested by Maine authorities for violating Maine's sovereignty.
The dispute was settled by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 that established the compromise border that now exists.

Bangor Stoneware Company
circa 1890
This late 19th century ceramic jug made by the Bangor Stoneware Company was most likely used to hold liquids such as molasses, vinegar, or whiskey.
The Bangor Stoneware Company operated in Bangor, Maine, between 1880 and 1917. In <em>The City of Bangor, The Industries, Resources, Attractions and Business Life of Bangor and Its Environs</em> (1899) the Bangor Stoneware Co. advertisement stated "Manufacturers of Stone and Fancy Pressed Ware of every description, and dealers in Earthen, Rockingham, Yellow & White Ware, Patten Street, Bangor."
The Bangor Stoneware Company was founded by Andrew Persson, a native of Sweden who learned the potter's trade in that country. After coming to America in 1868 he became part owner in the Gardiner Stoneware Co. but in 1880, he moved to Bangor and built a large pottery plant where he was principle owner and sole proprietor until his death in 1913. (<em>The Pottery, Glass & Brass Salesman</em>, July 24, 1913).
