FROM Swan's Island Genealogy site:
Joshua Sadler died about 1864 in Ellsworth, Hancock County, Maine, USA. He was born in Georgetown, Sagadahoc County, Maine, USA. Lived for several years at Vinalhaven. Came to Swan's Island in 1834.
Joshua Sadler and Mary Crabtree were married on 7 Aug 1829 in Vinalhaven, Knox County, Maine, USA. Mary Crabtree was born about 29 Mar 1804 in Vinalhaven, Knox County, Maine, USA. She died on 29 Jan 1887 in Deer Isle, Hancock County, Maine, USA. She was buried in Evergreen cemetery, Sunshine Road, Deer Isle. Mary is said to have been a dau. of a Crabtree of Crabtree's Point, now in the town of North Haven, one informant stating her father was David and another Samuel Crabtree. We find but one Crabtree living in Vinalhaven in 1790, Eleazer, with a family consisting of one boy over 16 years of age, four boys under 16, and three females in the family, including his wife if she was then living, besides himself. An historical sketch of Vinalhaven printed in 1900 gives a brief account of Captain Eleazer Crabtree, stating he was a native of New York State and born 1738; was in Vinalhaven in 1760 but removed on account of trouble with the Indians, returning again in 1784 and settled on a lot at the head of Southern Harbor; also bought of John Perry the lot known as Crabtree's Point. He was a master mariner and shipbuilder and in 1804 was cast away in the vessel Lucy & Nancy, built for him the year previous in Vinalhaven, on the coast of Ireland. Capt. Crabtree and crew were picked up and landed at Liverpool, England. He was one of the first board of selectmen and was well advanced in years when he died. Nothing is said of his family, only mentioning that a grandson B.(or E.)C. Crabtree, Esq., was yet living in 1900 in Vinalhaven. The vital records of that town give the mar. undoubtedly, dau. of a bro. of this Eleazer, Jr., and Lois (dau. of Joseph) Robbins, in 1818. Mary was undoubtedly, dau. of a brother of this Eleazer, Jr., who was married a year of so previous, as she was born in 1817 (sic: 1827 subtracting 60 from 1887), per her gravestone in Sunshine Cemetery, Deer Isle, reading "Mary, wife of Joshua Sadler, d. Jan. 29, 1887, aged 60-10-0" Mary died at Stinson's Neck (Sunshine-D.I.), at the home of her son James.
Joshua Sadler and Mary Crabtree had the following children:
