The Morice Family was established in Middle Sackville New Brunswick when John Morice (1785-1860) purchased land in Middle Sackville from John Harper in 1821. Eventually Morice Mill Pond would be an integral center of flourishing business in Middle Sackville. Morice Mill Pond is thought to be one of the oldest industrial sites in Canada. The Morice family added a carding mill to the already existing grist mill and saw mill during the first half of the 1800s. Eventually this area would be inherited by John Morice’s three grandsons, John (1859-193-?), Charles (1865-1933), and William (1868-1943). These three brothers would make up the Morice Bros. They later established a woodworking business where they manufactured doors, windows, threshing and grain cleaning machines, as well as household furniture.
