DOUGLAS
I am interested in the descendants of James Douglas 1757 – 1803, my 3-G grandfather.
With his second wife Waitstill Curtis Haszard he had 8 children and I have a lot of information on many of them.
I am trying to locate information on his first wife who would have died before 1789 when he remarried. As he moved to PEI in 1787 from the Detroit/Niagara region it seems likely that she died in PEI and the children from this marriage were raised in PEI as well.
Any clues/info would be appreciated.

MC/MACDONALD
Still trying to find my McDonald PEI roots – from 1840, Charlottetown.

This is from: The Harvard Graduates' Magazine

Dr. James Athanasius McDonald, m '1866, one of the oldest physicians in Charlestown, MA died there Dec. 8, 1910, of pneumonia. He was seventy years old. His son, James A. McDonald, Jr., '04, a lawyer, died a week before. Dr. McDonald was a member of the Legislature from the old city of Charlestown in 1886, a member of the Charlestown School Board from 1869 to 1873, and for 18 years a member of the Boston School Board. He had lived in the Bunker Hill district since he came from his native place in the early sixties. He was born in Charlottetown, P. E. I., May 2, 1840, the son of Ronald and Mary (McDonald) McDonald, both of whom were descendants of Highland pioneers who, after the battle of Culloden, were forced, on account of their devotion to the Stuart cause and their adherence to the Catholic Church, to emigrate to Canada. Dr. McDonald attended the schools of his native place, later studying at St. Dunstan's College. He was a graduate of the Prince of Wales College. After three years spent in teaching he entered Harvard Medical School, graduating in 1866. Immediately after taking his degree he settled in Charlestown and began the practice of medicine. It was largely through Dr. McDonald's able efforts as chairman of the committee on drawing that the present system of art instruction in the Boston public schools was made possible. As surgeon of the Ninth Infantry he was connected with the Mass. Volunteer Militia from 1870 to 1874. Dr. McDonald was a member of many societies, including the Harvard Medical Society, Mass. Medical and Gynecological Society, Catholic Union of Boston, the Catholic Literary Union of Charlestown (of which he was president, 1895 to 1899), the Holy Name Society of St. Mary's Church, Charles- town; he was also president of the conference of St. Vincent de Paul Society connected with St. Mary's Parish. He was a former member of the Clover Club, the Bostonian Society, and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. He was also a charter member of Hamilton Court, M. C. O. F., and physician for a Charlestown lodge of the A. O. U. W., and Clan Stuart of Charlestown. He married Anne Sprague, daughter of Rufus and Mary (Ford) Sprague of Charlestown. Dr. McDonald leaves a widow, two sons. Dr. W. J., m '99. and Dr. L. R. McDonald, а '01, and a daughter, Anna MacDonald.

ALEXANDER MURCHISON
I've been trying very hard to find imformation on how my ancestor, Alexander Murchison first immigrated from Scotland. I am wondering if there is any chance that he may have immigrated on the Polly 1803. He was born 25Dec1776. The first mention of him was in New Brunswick when he enlisted in the 104th regiment in(I believe) 1804-Saint John New Brunswick. On the passenger list of the Polly an Alexander Murchison was listed (I believe as #40 or #41) just before a Donald Murchison his wife, Ann McGillviary,and their children. The youngest of their children was listed as Alexander Murchison. However, this Alexander Murchison was just a young infant at the time. On the 1851 Census in New Brunswick, Alexander's father was named John. Donald Murchison (above) had a brother, John. Is it possible or known if the Alexander Murchison first recorded on the passenger list could have in fact been Donald's nephew who had traveled to the new country with his uncle? If he was born in 1776, then he would have been abt. 27 years old. It doesn't make since that the passenger list would first record the name of the youngest child of a family first followed by a list of their parents and their children-once again naming them. I've looked at other possibilities. There are a number of Murchisons that immigrated in the 1700s to the southern states. i.e. No. Carolina. I've spent many hours, actually several years trying to figure this out. If anyone has anything that could help I'd appreciate it. It's important to me. Thanks!

They had the following children: Mary b. 1851, Betsy (Elizabeth?)b. 1854, John b 1856 and George b. 1858. Donald is stated to have been a farmer and mason and lived on Lot 58.

MILLINGTON
MILLINGTON
I have been trying for a few years to discover something about my Great Uncles life on PEI. His name was William 'Bill' Millington and he was a British Home Child.
He was sent from England at age 12 years in 1896. He married twice, firstly to Myrtle Baker, and then to Daisy(Margaret) who had previously been married to Alfred Chappelle of Charlottetown.
He died in 1964.
There must be someone who knows something. Someone must have arranged his funeral. He was buried at Church of Scotland Cape Traverse. I would love to obtain his death cert if anyone can help with this.
He lived with William McDonald when he first arrived up until he left I think to get married. Family lore says that he had a good upbringing and was in public life in a small way.
I know he owned some land and that he also worked for the railway.
One day I would like to visit PEI but I want to know more about William first so that I can see where he was etc.
I paid a genealogist to try to discover more who was very good but only got so far and I want to know more. I would be very grateful for any help.
regards

Land Deed Research
I would like to research the land that my ancestors lived on in Lots 46 and 47 in the early 1800s. I have the old map with their names on it (Stewart, Young, Leet). I believe some of them owned the land outright in the early 1800's.

If I don't know who owns the land now, how do I go about finding the old deeds? I plan on being in PEI to do this research. I'd like to do this myself, but if there is someone who specializes in these kinds of searches, perhaps that is an option.

Any suggestions of any kind will be greatly appreciated.

MACDONALD/MCDONALD
I am looking for information on the parents of Catherine MacDonald and Annie MacDonald. Catherine MacDonald was born in 1852 and died January 14, 1916 at South Granville and is buried in the South Granville Presbyterian Cemetery. She was married to Jesse Corbett of South Granville. Annie MacDonald was born in 1859 and died August 8, 1920 at North Granville and is buried at the North Granville Cemetery. She was married to George Mallett of North Granville. There was also a connection to the Burns family, so I am also assuming that a sister might have married into the Burns family and they eventually moved to the Edmonton, Alberta region. There must also have been brothers as some of their descendents lived in the Edmonton region. The family don't seem to have originated from the Lot 21 region.

MAHAR/MAHER/MEAGHER
The History of Darnley mentions my Maher family and indicates that their property is (or was in 1982 when the book was published) one of the PEI Century Farms, and shows a few pictures of family members.

Does this Century Farm still exist as such? Are there any particular historical records kept anywhere due to its status? Where might I look for such records? Can the farm be visited?

The earlest Maher on the island in my family, Edward MAHAR is my gr gr grandfather (1790-1875). He is reported as having arrived from Queens Co in the late 1830's.

His son Edward Jr is my gr grandfather, and Edw Jr's son John is my grandfather.

The article says that Edw Jr's 3 children, John, his brother James, and his sister Margaret were raised in Darnley by their grandparents. I'd like to know why?

It also indicates that all 3 settled off the island. From my own research, I know that John went to Bangor, Maine where he died in 1924. He had married a Catherine McAleer who had gone to Bangor from Hope River. In his US records, John claimed to be from Indian River.

Does anyone know where James and Margaret went when they left PEI?

Does anyone have any deeper information than that in The History of Darnley?

I have some information that Edw Sr's wife was an Elizabeth Shiels. Any information about her would also be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

McNeill
I am trying to find details of Alexander McDonald McNeill who was born in Charlottetown PEI approx 1829, possibly Jan 19,to Allan McNeill and Margaret McFadyen. He married in Australia in 1857. He was said to arrive in Australia in 1855.

I received a letter from St John's Lodge 27 years ago indicating Alexander McDonald McNeill, mercantile clerk, applied to join St John's Lodge #562 in Charlottetown, PEI in 1849. He was initiated, passed and raised that year. I have not been able to find out if his age and address were recorded.

I note that in Islander Oct,7,1870 an Allan McNeill's death was reported. Was he Alexander's father? Allan was said to be the oldest surviving member of St John's Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of PEI. He died in his 94th year.

The closest I have got to Alexander's birth record is a baptismal record from St John's Belfast from 1826. The mother's name is Ann and the birth is 3 years earlier than my dates would suggest. I also believe that this Alexander (McNeil) was still alive post 1860 in PEI, after my Alexander had left PEI!

How do I get access to the Lodge records? Does my Alexander have any connections to other McNeills in PEI? If he left PEI in 1850-1855 is there any way of tracing emmigration?

Grateful for any information or advice you may have.

PS I did email Rod Raper at St John's Lodge in August 2008 but I have not heard back from him and his email address is no longer accessible.

Yours sincerely,

MCKAY/MCKAY
Dr.John G MacKay, born March 1835 & supposed son of Donald MacKay and Elizabeth Graham died in Los Angeles, California bet. 1900 - 1910. He resided in Lot 21 in 1881 with wife 'Christy' and sons Calvin (21), Alfred/Albert (19) and Hugh (12). In 1900, he is widowed & residing with his brother James D and his family and with another son William Ross, born 18 Aug 1895 probably in Los Angeles (from a 2nd wife presumably).
I'm looking for information on his 1st wife. She is buried in Geddie Memorial Cemetery - MacKay: Christianna, w. of Dr. J. G. Mackay, d. May 12, 1891, Ae. 62.
Age may be a transcription error as Christy was age 41 in the 1881 census. She was presumably age 52.
Also if anyone knows who William Ross' mother might be would also be helpful.

The following record was also located which may be for John. It would appear to indicate that he died in Malpeque, but he was a resident of Los Angeles in 1900 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Los Angeles, along with his brother James.

DARRACH
Can anyone help me slot my Catherine Darrach into place? She is my g. grandmother on my mothers side. I know there were Darrachs came from P.E.I. to the north island in NZ. but she doesn't seem to fit in there.
I have her marriage -April 13,1875, Waimate, Sth.Canterbury, Sth.Is. NZ. to Charles Boyes. She states she was born P.E.I., Father: Neil Darrach, Mother: Mary nee McCa..? not easy to read). She had a dau. Mary Ann Boyes, obviously named for her mother.
Her death Aug.12.1917 at Sunnyside Mental Hospital, Christchurch from Waimate, Sth.Canterbury, NZ. states Senile decay..age 72, and that she had been in N.Z. for 46yrs.(married at 31yrs).
There are other Darrach's buried in the Waimate cemetery:
Samuel -d.o.d. 30/8/1926 age 75 born Charlottetown,P.E.I.Anglican. (in NZ 50yrs) so possibly a brother of my Catherine.
William - d.o.d. 26/9/1927 age 81.R/C.
Catherine - d.o.d. 5/8/1947 age 95.R/C.
Possible relatives..I can't find any of their arrivals in N.Z.
Any help in P.E.I. on Catherine, her parents and Samuel,would be much appreciated. Thanks.

WOODS/HAMILTON/MCGINNIS
I am looking for information on my gggg-grandfather, Bartholomew Woods, and his family. Bartholomew was born in Ireland circa 1768-1798. He was a captain in the British army (possibly the King's Rangers) and was posted in Canada sometime prior to 1818. He was forbidden to return to Ireland for doing a favour for a Frenchman, and settled in P.E.I. (I don't know which lot). He married a Matilda Hamilton. They had two known children:

1. John Woods (may have married someone with last name Gillis; no other information known)
2. Daniel Leo Woods, born 1818 in P.E.I.. Married Joanna/JoAnn McGinnis (born circa 1820).

Daniel and Joanna had the following children: Alexander (b. circa 1839), Phineas Edward (b. April 1841, P.E.I.), Matilda (b. circa 1844), Sophia (b. circa 1847), James (b. circa 1849), Ambrose (b. circa 1851), Sarah (b. circa 1853), Daniel (b. circa 1857), Mary (b. circa 1860), John Leo (b.circa 1862). The family was living in Pugwash, Nova Scotia by 1860.

I have been unable to find any record of Bartholomew Woods or his wife, Matilda Hamilton. I am starting to wonder if he may have gone by the name "Daniel" (full name, perhaps, Bartholomew Daniel or Daniel Bartholomew) as I have found a mention in the King's Rangers muster roll of a Daniel Woods, discharged soldier, who settled in Prince Edward Island in 1784.

I am also looking for Joanna McGinnis's parents.

Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PICTOU ISLAND
I have corresponded with many by email at some point over the past ten years regarding the genealogy of persons who have lived on Pictou island or who have Pictou Island connections. My research is about to bear fruit, as I am now completing a history of Pictou Island and its residents, which I hope to have published by the 200th anniversary events in August. Publication details are still a moving target.

The book is intended to include all persons on Pictou Island between its initial settlement about 1819 and the 1911 Canadian census – as well as their known descendents who were born before about 1930. Persons born after 1930 are generally not being included for privacy reasons. There will probably over 800 individuals. Most readers with Pictou Island roots should be able to identify a parent or grandparent, which will take them to preceding generations, in some cases for six or seven generations. Where possible, the book will also include the Scottish ancestry and origins of the original settlers, especially the MacCallums, MacDonalds, MacLeans, McFarlanes and Pattersons. It will also address the Prince Edward Island families from Wood Islands/White Sands/Little Sands/Murray Harbour/Murray River who settled on Pictou Island in the late 1800’s through about 1920.

I am soliciting the assistance of anyone who is interested in making the book more personal, rather than being in part a recitation of the facts relating to our various ancestors. (I have no pretense as to it being as lively as Jim Turple's "Memories of Pictou Island.") I would be grateful if anyone has photographs of Pictou Island or its residents that they would contribute for publication. Photos of the various residents (especially the ‘formal’ portraits that many people had before World War I), as well as photos s that show daily life and activities on Pictou Island – the type of photos that you see in the little books dealing with the history of particular communities – would be especially useful.

I am also interested in family bibles or other family papers that cover immigration from Scotland , births/deaths/marriages before 1910, or the out migration of Pictou Islanders to other areas. For example, Catherine Ann McDonald died in 1915; does anyone know what happened to the receipt for her passage from Tobermory (on Mull in Scotland), that was mentioned in her obituary – “Miss MacDonald was born in Scotland and the receipt for money paid for the passage of the family by her father, from Tobermory, to this side of the water, is still preserved by descendents. Deceased was an aunt of Mssrs. Daniel and George MacDonald."

Lastly, most of us with Pictou Island ancestry or connections have heard stories about the Island and our ancestors: where they went, what they did, and the peculiarities of daily life. In my family’s case, research has substantiated many of the stories my father told me about his grandfather, who was born in 1835; this makes his discussion much more alive. Similar family stories or information about the Pictou Islanders – which probably cannot be found in public records would make the book more interesting would be very helpful.

Thanks,

PERRY/PATTERSON
I am searching for Mary E. PERRY born approximately 1892 on PEI. Her death certificate states that her father was Benjamin Perry and her mother was Matilda PATTERSON. It is possible that she had a sister, Elizabeth Viola and a brother, Maurice. She emmigrated to the US in the early 1900's and married Roy Alexander Flowers. She died in Massachusetts in 1946. Roy was married to an Elizabeth and a Mary. They may be the same woman or they may be sisters. I don't know. I have records that state he is married to an Elizabeth V. Perry and then the death cert says Mary E. Perry. Neither Elizabeth nor Mary is buried with him in Providence, RI. I would greatly appreciate even the smallest lead on this query. Thank you.

RAMSAY
Y-DNA haplotyping has shown that the Ramsays of PEI descended from the Ramsay family from the Annabella are entirely unrelated to any other Ramsays from Scotland, and particularly to the Earls of Dalhousie, so burn your Ramsay tartan ties, you are not related to the "Ramsay clan". The question is, where did they come from prior to settling in Ugadale, and how did they acquire the Ramsay surname? Any ideas? D.Ramsay

Donovan
Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone out there may have info on the Thomas and Anna Belle Donovan family. They were both born on PEI. I don't have any documentation on them since all records were lost in a fire at a church in PEI. There is no grave marker that I am aware of since Thomas was buried a pauper. The information I do have is that Thomas was a sailor and that he drank a lot. Anna Belle was a cook and they had a daughter named Esther who moved to MA and married John McArdle of Lowell. I am hoping to find out who their parents are and where they came from. Right now I am completely stumped on how to continue.

Thank you so much for any help,

The above link brings you to the Land Petitions at the Nova Scotia Archives. If you type in Prince Edward Island and then choose All for counties - you will get 11 pages of land petitions from 1806 to 1843 that have Prince Edward Island in the description. Most of these are people who left PEI for Nova Scotia to get land. They are Scots and French and others. If anything, they make wonderful reading but you may find more information for your family research.

JAMIESON
Hello, first I would like to thank all the kind folk who answered my previous queries. I appreciate your time and effort. I am posting this time to ask a few more questions. I am the granddaughter of Catherine Jamieson who was the daughter of John Jamieson and Catherine Oldis. My great great grandparents were Donald Jamieson and Mary Eleanor Murphy. I am planning my first trip to PEI with my family. This is quite exciting for me as my father, Catherine's son, was never able to make this trip. I think someone sent me information stating Donald Jamieson's home no longer stands. I was wondering if someone could give me directions to where that had been, so I could drive by. I am also wondering if John and Catherine Jamieson's home still stands? I would like to be able to drive by that also. I know on the map Jamieson Lane is across from Oldis Rd, so I plan on visiting that area. Are there any special places a Jamieson descendent should see while there? I do plan on visiting St Paul's cemetery. I have a partial list of family members buried there. Are there any nice places to stay in Montague? I know my husband and teenage sons will want to golf, see the beaches, etc but I am especially interested in just seeing the island where my grandmother was born.
Thank you in advance for any information you can give me,

According to a story from my grandfather, my great-great-grandmother moved to Souris PEI with her two children after the death of her husband. After much searching I've found them listed in the 1881 Census for Township 45. It took so long because the name Forbrigger is quite rare and I've found it spelled almost a dozen different ways in various records. In the Census my g-g-grandmother's daughter is listed as 12 years old and going to school. I was wondering if there are school registers or other records for that time period. I would like to establish approximately how long they may have lived there.

Thank you

Sons and Daughters of the Maritime Provinces
Newspaper: The San Francisco Call
Issue Date: 1904-10-14

Natives of Maritime Provinces Found Social Order in Oakland

Oakland, Oct. 13 - An organization known as the Sons and Daughters of the Maritime Provinces has just been formed in Oakland by those who came from outside the precincts of this State. The new society will extend it's influence throughout California.

The maritime provinces are those sections of Canada that border upon the Atlantic Ocean,and all natives of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are entitled to membership. Two hundred and twenty of those who came from those three provinces have been found in and about Oakland, and they have banded themselves together for mutual help and advancement. It is intended to give all those who come from those sections of Canada an opportunity to associate themselves with the new organization, and those who wish to affiliate may communicate with W. H. Bull, the secretary, at 951 Washington street, this city.

The idea of the organization was originated by H. C. Tupper. The following gentlemen and ladies have been placed in charge of the destinies of the new society: President, H. C. Tupper; vice president W. L. Dimmick; secretary, W. H. Bull; financial secretary, F. Smith; treasurer, Captain J. H. O'Brien; chairman of the social committee, Miss Margaret Annand; executive committee (in addition to the officers), Rev. Fred Johnstone and Rev. Richmond Logan.

ELLIS, MC ARTHUR
I need help finding the parents of John ELLIS and Flora MC ARTHUR. I can find both ELLIS and MC ARTHUR families in PEI but none seem to include the couple listed below.

On 10 Oct 1833, at Richmond, John ELLIS, bachelor, (Lot 11) married Flora MC ARTHUR, spinster, (Lot 16) by license from the Lieut. Governor. Witnesses were Alexander MC ARTHUR and John CAMPBELL.

Flora's death record, 20 Feb 1883, in Boston, MA, USA, states that her parents were Dougal MC ARTHUR and Elizabeth.

John's death record, 16 Dec 1891, in Boston, MA, USA, states that he was born in England of English parents.

I have found 10 children of John and Flora, all born on PEI, beginning with George Henry ELLIS, (b. 29 Feb 1840; m.Catherine MC DONALD, 30 DEC 1867, Halifax, NS; d. 6 July 1924, Lonsdale, RI, USA). The other children are Caroline (b. abt 1843; m. Robert WEBSTER,19 Dec 1860, PEI; d. after 1920, MA, USA), James S. (b.8 Jan 1844; m. Agnes C. ?(Russell), abt 1864; d. 10 Sept 1912, Pawtucket, RI, USA), Agnes (b. Oct 1845; m. James BRANDER, 31 Jan 1866, PEI; d. 1 June 1923, Everett, MA, USA), Lydia Jane (b. 2 Aug 1847; m. Edward CARROL, 23 Aug 1864, Richmond, PEI; d. 11 June 1929, Everett, MA, USA), Robert Henry (b. 28 Sept 1848; m. Mary E Cole, 6 July 1880, Boston, MA, USA; d. 21 Oct 1894), John (b. 7 Nov 1852; m. Charlotte Cannon, 23 June 1879, Boston, MA, USA;), Joseph Cooper (b. 7 July 1854), Herbert William (b. 23 Aug 1858; m. Josephine V. Kenney, 14 Oct 1879, Boston, MA, USA), Laura Catherine (b. 7 Oct 1858; m. Charles William HOLMES, 5 June 1878, Boston, MA, USA; d. 24 May 1898, Everett, MA, USA).

The entire family seems to have moved to Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the 1870s; the only member I cannot find there is Joseph Cooper ELLIS.

Who and where are John and Flora's parents? Were Flora's parents born on PEI or in Scotland? Is John a cousin of the ELLIS shipbuilding family? Are there any other children born to this couple, particularly before George Henry? And what happened to Joseph?

Thank you for your help.

TIMMONS
Hi:

I am searching for information on Catherine "Kate" Timmons, born in the early 1900's at Mount Stewart, PEI. She was the daughter of John David Timmons and Irene Dwyre of Mount Stewart. I was told by someone from PEI that she married a gentleman from Fort Augustus, PEI (didn't know his name). Would there be any married record of Catherine "Kate" Timmons probably in the late 1920's or early 1930's for that area or surrounding area of PEI? Would there be any descendants of Catherine "Kate" Timmons and her husband family living in Fort Augustus or surrounding area of PEI? Also looking for information of John David Timmons and Irene Dwyre others three children born in Mount Stewart: Lorraine, Gilbert and Harry. I was told that Gilbert and Harry moved away during the Second World War. Would appreciate any help and information what may be found. Hope to hear from somebody soon.

JARDINE
I am seeking information about Isabel Emeline Jardine, who was born in 1878 in PEI. She was one of a family of six, made up of five sisters and one brother. For some period of time, she lived in Bangor, PEI, before going missing.(I am unable to put a date on the year of her disappearnce. Still researching that, but think it was in the late 1920s.)At the time of her disappearance, she lived in Bangor with her sisters Minnie Sophie Jardine and Eldora Savilla Jardine. According to the best information I can find, family members never knew what became of her. As a memoirist, I'm interested in learning what her fate may have been. If, by chance, you have any information on her life, I would be pleased to hear it.

In September 1902 he married a Mary Woolf and in the NEHGS record it states that he was from Mt. Stewart, PEI. They had 9 children. We think his father was Edward L. (Lorenzo?????) Parsons - an engineer of a ferry boat????? Joseph's mother was a Mary Anne McKenna and we know nothing of her except that she is PEI born. A cousin named Arthur Daniel Parsons, born August 20, 1877, lived with Edward and Mary and their son Joseph. Don't know of any siblings.

Joseph is the grandfather of a lady I went to school with in Brookline, MA and she is trying to find out more about her Parsons family. Does anyone have any more information. Please email me at mcphee98 [at] yahoo [dot] com Many thanks.

MILLINGTON
I have been trying for a few years to discover something about my Great Uncles life on PEI. His name was William 'Bill' Millington and he was a British Home Child.
He was sent from England at age 12 years in 1896. He married twice, firstly to Myrtle Baker, and then to Daisy who had previously been married to Alfred Chappelle of Charlottetown.
He died in 1964.
There must be someone who knows something. Someone must have arranged his funeral. He was buried at Church of Scotland Cape Traverse. I would love to obtain his death cert if anyone can help with this.
He lived with William McDonald when he first arrived up until he left I think to get married. Family lore says that he had a good upbringing and was in public life in a small way.
I know he owned some land and that he also worked for the railway.
One day I would like to visit PEI but I want to know more about William first so that I can see where he was etc.
I paid a genealogist to try to discover more who was very good but only got so far and I want to know more. I would be very grateful for any help.

John William died Jan 9, 1885. In the 1881 cencus his occupation is listed as bookkeeper. His Parents names may have been John Scott and Grace McBeath and I have found reference to a John Scott and wife Grace McBeath in the book "an index of Scottish Immigrants based on Obituaries and death notices in PEI newspapers 1835-1910 by Peter Gallant" however I'm not sure they have any connection to John William.

O'Neil / Power/Poor
Researching the family of John O'Neil and Margaret Poor (Power?)
They have children baptized in St.Georges R.C. church, St.George's PEI.
One of their children- William, marries Mary Ann MacKinnon. This couple have at least one daughter: Mary Ellen who marries Angus Joseph Steele. This family of Steeles take up residence in Goose River, PEI.

I am wondering if anyone has any further info on John O'Neil - tracing him back to Ireland/England/Britain ...?As well, any thing on Margaret Poor/Power. In Census documents, were there families actually called Poors? or is that just a mispelling of Power?

As always, any and all information is greatly appreciated. Happy Belated New Year to all of you faithful contributors and viewers of the Register. Thanks Dave for such a wonderful site- Many more returns of the day to this gem!

PEIGS Lecture on Dembo Suckles:
The PEI Genealogical Society is pleased to host a lecture in association with the Beaconsfield Historic House on Thursday, February 26. Diane Whitcomb from Denver, Colorado will be the guest speaker and her talk is entitled "Researching Dembo in the American Revolutionary Period". Whitcomb is a descendant of black slave Dembo Suckles who lived in Georgetown (lot 59) in the late 1700s. She has compiled a genealogy about the Suckles family that also includes research on other early Island families - the Creeds, the Princes and the Higgins. David Higgins and his brother Cornelius were two of the earliest English settlers on the Island. Her talk will explore whether Dembo Suckles ever belonged to PEI's David Higgins and will also look at Dembo's possible whereabouts from 1767-1782 when he is found in the home of William Creed in Providence, Rhode Island. The lecture takes place at 7:30pm, February 26 in Beaconsfield's Carriage House, located at the corner of West and Kent Streets in Charlottetown. Admission is by donation and light refreshments will be served.

I have mentioned Dembo several times in the past in the Island Register newsletter and can't help being fascinated by his life and accomplishments, and the legacy he left behind for his many descendants. He was a remarkable man who came to be very highly respected by his community.

MacNaught History Centre and Archives invites all PEI Genealogical Society members and other readers of this newsletter to visit Wyatt Heritage Properties and experience the range of services and amenities we offer. Also check us out online at http://www.wyattheritage.com/ where we sport a new look webpage.

Admission to the MacNaught History Centre and Archives is free.

Watch for more details on our Genealogy for Beginners course spread over 6 Saturdays from March 28 to May 9. (no class Easter Saturday April 11) Email fredhorne [at] wyattheritage.com or call 902-432-1332 for information or to put your name on the list to attend -this may be the perfect time to introduce some friends to the rewarding hobby of Genealogy! The course offering will be a slightly condensed version of the course designed by Bill and Elizabeth Glen for the PEI Genealogy Society and it will be offered at MacNaught History Center and Archives so after less than 3 hours of presentation the rest of the day will be free to practice your research at the Centre.

Watch for more details on our Genealogy Conference to be held October 1st to 3rd this year! Yes, this year, our big event is coming up fast. We hope that the high profile speakers and topics will be of interest to a wide range of family history enthusiasts and genealogists from all over the Maritimes and beyond. During Heritage Week February 16th to 20th we will announce all the details of what to expect in October. In some ways it will be two conferences in one as we plan an exciting selection of cultural activities for the spouses and significant others of the genealogy add**ts. Or perhaps it will be the perfect thing for the whole family to do if a genealogy session is just not up to your level. Ambitious or not, you might say we want to put the 'family' back into family history.

Within the past several months we held a successful Genealogy Day, launched a new look (and new content) for our Membership Service - now called http://www.peiancestry.com - and continued to respond to requests for genealogical information on Island families.

On October 18 we raised the profile of genealogy by holding a Genealogy Day. Activities included an introductory to Genealogical research session at MacNaught History Centre and Archives in the morning. At 1:00 pm we welcomed visitors to the Wyatt Heritage Properties' Lefurgey Cultural Centre for a 'scavenger hunt' where participants tried to guess the identities of Summerside-connected personalities from the past. An eclectic crowd it was ranging from Gene MacLellan to Honourable Thane Campbell to Elaine Harrison. Each character was depicted and provided 'clues to their identity' in a separate room of the house. The Summerside Katimavik group of young people from across Canada played the mystery guests - complete with costumes. After all the guesswork was finished all stayed on for a special meting of the PEI Genealogical Society held in the beautifully restored ball room of the Lefurgey Cultural Centre. Guest Speaker Glenda Coughlin treated everyone to a passionate information-packed talk on her research work capturing the names of Islanders in the US census.

Watch the News and Events section of our webpage http://www.wyattheritage.com/mainsite3/index.asp for further information.

JOHN SMALL
Hi All
In Saturday, 31/01/2009 edition of the Globe and Mail, the odituaries is for Mollie Gillen. She is descended from John Small of Australia.
He had been a British Marine, discharged in the 1780s, to become a highway robber. He was shipped to Australia in 1787 for his efforts.
One of the prominent PEIers was John Small MacDonald of West River. He was named after a John Small who had been in the military with his father. Does anyone know if these 2 John Smalls was the same person?
Thanks

GASS, John - Obituary
Just found this obituary from "The Times." Not sure where he died - it's unclear.

Times, The (United Kingdom); 03/17/2005

Section: Features, Obituary, pg. 64


John Gass, ophthalmologist, was born on August 2, 1928. He died on February
26, 2005, aged 76.

Eye specialist whose innovative treatment of retina damage saved sight for
thousands.

THE ophthalmologist John Gass was one of the world's leading experts on
diseases of the eye.

John Donald MacIntyre Gass was born in 1928 in Prince Edward Island, Canada,
and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. His father was director of tuberculosis
control for the state.

In 1946 Gass went to Vanderbilt University in Nashville to study science and
medicine. He received his bachelors degree in 1950 and his medical degree in
1957 (after serving with the US Navy in the Korean War, 1950-53). After an
internship at the University Hospital, Iowa City, he went to the Wilmer Eye
Institute at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, to complete a
residency in ophthalmology.

In 1963 he joined the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami
School of Medicine, where he became Professor of Ophthalmology in 1972. In 1995
he returned to Nashville to be professor emeritus in the department of
ophthalmology and visual sciences at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

His pioneering research into diseases of the retina and uvea, the pigment
bearing layer of the iris, led to treatments that have saved many tens of
thousands of people from blindness.

One of his important discoveries was that a stretching of tissue in the retina
produces holes in the macula, the highly sensitive area at the centre of the
retina responsible for detailed vision. Partial holes cause wavy, distorted and
blurred vision; patients with larger holes lose central vision entirely. Injury
and diseases can cause macular holes, but the most common cause is the ageing
process. Thanks to Gass's work the condition can now be cured in more than 90
per cent of cases.

Gass was a prolific writer. In addition to writing more than 270 articles, he
produced a classic text in his field, the two-volume Stereoscopic Atlas of
Macular Diseases: Diagnosis and Treatment, the most extensive coverage of
diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of macular disease available, now in its
fourth edition.

Gass helped to develop the use of fluorescein angiography, a diagnostic test
that traces a vegetable dye injected into blood vessels in the retina, to
reveal patterns of leaking from the vessels. The test identifies a form of
macular degeneration that occurs when abnormal blood vessels bleed under the
retina. The central vision may be permanently damaged.

Gass received numerous medals, honours and awards, including the Helen Keller
Prize for Vision Research (2001) and the Laureate Recognition Award of the
American Academy of Ophthalmology (2004). He was cited for outstanding
achievement by almost all the leading professional ophthalmology organisations
and by many academic institutions.

In 1999 he was chosen by 33,000 ophthalmologists around the world as one of
the 20th century's ten most influential ophthalmologists. For all these honours
he was a modest man, a humanitarian with a fine intellect, whose dedication won
the esteem of his colleagues. His students praised him as superb teacher.

His wife and four children survive him.

Ramsay, also new directories found!
I really have enjoyed your site. I am researching the Ramsay family. I have made it back to William Ramsay (b. possibly Oct 4, 1855 in Elmsdale) m. Elizabeth I. (possibly Stewart) (b. abt. 1866). Back in 1881 they were living next to Archibald (b. abt. 1796) and Ellen (b. abt. 1801) Ramsay in Lot 4. (Alerton area). I don't know if this is Wm's father or grandfather. Wm. and the family moved to Boston, MA in 1893. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Your site has been so helpful, I want to share something with everyone. I want to share two links to PEI Directories I found at the website www.archive.org. This site is great and you can find thousands of old books, etc that have been scanned in full.
Frederick's PEI Dir. 1889-90 : http://www.archive.org/details/1889t90fredericksprin00charuoft
Teare's Dir and Handbook PEI 1880-81 :

If the links don't work, just put PEI in the search box and you will find all kinds of old documents from directories, to histories and church histories on
PEI. I hope this helps everyone a little.

Ohio again. Now I have Ralph Abner Landers born in Somerville, MA on September 23, 1873. His father was Stephen Landers from Nova Scotia. His mother is Isabella Adams who was born on Isle of Man, England. There are eight of their children mentioned.

Ralph A. Landers came to Toledo in 1902 and opened a branch plant of the Landers Brothers Company.

On January 28, 1902 he married Annetta McClure, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McClure, "members of a prominent family of Prince Edward Island."

Three children are listed: John W. Landers (deceased); Robert G. born in Toledo in 1905 and Sarah Louise born in 1912.

It's my guess that Sara who married William A. Martin and Annetta are sisters or at least related.

DANIEL LIVINGSTONE (LOTS 13, 65)

“…Daniel (BIG DAN) LIVINGSTONE (Duncan3, Donald LIVINGSTON2, Donald1). Born in 1863 in Baltic Road, Lot 31, PEI and died in 1941. Buried in Burnside Pres. Church, Clyde River, PEI. Occupation: Farmer. Religion: Baptist >> Presbyterian. User ID: MP22273….” His wife is listed as “Agnes _______”.

I found in a c1925 atlas a Daniel Livingston living on 40 Acres in the Long Creek area of Lot 65 – a place listed as McNeill land on the Lake Map. In the 1925 atlas, his wife is listed as Anna McPhee. Is it possible that the Daniel in the Atlas is “Big Dan” – or was there another Daniel living in that area at the time, that doesn’t appear on the Clyde River list?

I recently found mention of the Alley family in PEI. I am a descendant of an Alley "tree" that I have traced back to 1698 in Wiltshire, England. While most of these people remained in Wiltshire, some went farther afield and I was wondering if any of them had gone to PEI? Does anyone know of a connection to the Alleys of Wiltshire, or other parts of England, and PEI?

I would be very interested in replies as I have a number of Alleys who "vanished" from my tree and it is possible they went to Canada.

EWING and WADMAN
"William Henry Ewing was born February 1, 1848, in Fredericktown, Columbiana County, PA. He came to Pomeroy, Ohio with his parents at the age of six. His first occupation was that of barrel cooper. He started the first Ewing grocery on its present site in 1872. He married Harriet Jane Wadman who was born on Prince Edward Island in 1849. She died in January, 1913. There were seven children: Ben, Martha, Herb, Glenroy, Jessie and Jennie (twin daughters who died in infancy), and one son who died in infancy.

Twenty five passengers died of typhus during the crossing, many were hospitalized on arrival and thirty died in quarantine. A large memorial stone with bronze plaque is in the process of being erected in the old Catholic cemetery on Longworth Avenue and will be dedicated on May 21, 2009 to commemorate the anniversary of their arrival.

Many of the families appear to have settled in the vicinity of the Monaghan Road. Some names listed in the quarantine hospital according to the Fall/Winter 1994 issue of The Island Magazine were: Berrigan, Boylan, Bradly, Burns, Carpenter, Casscelly, Carver, Coles, Clarken, Finnegan, Flanning, Garven, Griffin, Hammell, Hannah, Hughes, Kearns, Keon, Maloney, McEwie, McGrath, McKenna, McKinnon, McQuaid, Malloy, McMahon, Morell, Noone, Regan, Sherry, Trainer, Walker, Walsh, Watson, and Wright.

If you can trace your ancestry to a passenger on the Lady Constable, please contact George O'Connor, Chair of the Cultural Heritage Committee of the Benevolent Irish Society, at 902-566-3273, or e-mail him at goconnor [at] pei [dot] sympatico [dot] ca

AYLWARD/ELLSWORTH
Concerning the Aylward/Ellsworth information given over the Island Register I wish to make a few corrections.

Richard Aylward and Annie Ahearn had a son Michael. He married Mary Ellen Griffin, daughter of Maurice Griffin and Ellen Reilly of Lot 7, P.E.I. Maurice and Ellen came from Ireland. Mary Ellen is listed as Ellen in some documents, Helen in others, and Helena in others.

Michael and Mary Ellen had a son John B. Aylward who married Mary Catherine Doyle. One of their children, Elizabeth Amanda Aylward, born September 26, 1896 in Alberton, married first to an Elmer Nelson. Her second husband was Robert Harold Griffin, son of Joseph P. Griffin and Annabelle McKenzie Griffin of Lot 7, P.E.I. Elizabeth and Harold were married in British Columbia in 1920. Harold died December 1, 1948, aged 54 years, in Port Alberni, B.C. I have not found out whether or not they had a family, nor have I found a death date for Elizabeth Amanda Aylward Griffin.

names: Emerentienne or Margi Anne Emerentienne) of MISCOUCHE, who later married Charles Leclerc (also called LeClair) of Tignish. They both moved to Lowell, MA in the 1900s and married there. I’m trying to find out if she was born on 4 Aug 1883 or 27 May 1884 in Miscouche, PEI. I’m guessing that she was baptized at St. Jean Baptiste RC church there, but as far as I can tell, their records are not online. It’s likely that she was either the daughter of Pierre Poirier and Marie Arsenault or Joseph (O?) Poirier and Adeline Aucoin. I have some information about Emma and her husband since their wedding in Lowell, MA in 1904 that I can share.

MAC DONALD/BRIGGS

She was born 9 Feb 1871 and was baptized at St. James Church in Georgetown 17 Feb 1871. Her father's obituary of 1912 refers to her as Mrs. George Briggs of St. Louis, MO. I have found a lady by the name of Matilda Briggs on the 1910, 1920, 1930 U.S. census with a husband George Briggs. A George E. briggs died in 1945 in St. Louis, MO. His wife is listed as Matilda A. Briggs. Could this be the correct couple? A Matilda A. Briggs died in 1959 and is buried at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis. Her age is given as 88. That makes her a good candicate to have been born in 1871.
Sibblings of Matilda were:
Laura Clementine married to Joseph McRae
John C.
Helen who went to MA married name Dickinson
Florence who went to MA and was supposed to have been a nurse

Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Committee Update
Attention all descendents of early Scottish settlers in eastern PEI. We need your help!

This Pioneer Cemetery was established in the late seventeen hundreds when the Scottish pioneers settled the area. The Cemetery served the area from St Peters to East Point and is situated next to the site of one of the earliest Catholic Churches in PEI (1803). There are approximately 120 headstones remaining but early records indicate that there were many more buried there.

The Restoration Committee has begun the process clearing the shrubbery and trees from the site. We have discovered the stone wall that surrounds the cemetery. The Pioneer Cemetery still stands in an acute state of disrepair. Our goal is to preserve and protect the rich heritage of this site and honor our ancestors.

We appeal to those who know of people buried in the St Margaret of Scotland Pioneer Cemetery in St. Margarets, PEI to contact the committee. Any information is welcome i.e. stories, pictures, maps, etc so that we can compile a history and develop a website.

Due to the rapid deterioration of the site, the restoration of the stones needs to start immediately. We appreciate any support you can offer to the Pioneer Cemetery Fund. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Mail donations to:
Pioneer Cemetery Fund c/o St Margarets Parish, RR #2 Fairfield, PEI C0A 2B0 A Tax receipt will be issued at years end!

For more information, contact Anne Kells at 569-2399 or Helen MacDonald at 687-2505. Or you can email at our new address: pioneer [at] ekpei [dot] ca

CARMODY, PATRICK
Patrick Carmody was married in PEI to a widow, Elisabeth SMITH, in 1825. They had two known children, Enoch Lawrence CARMODY and Charlotte Cicely CARMODY, born in 1827 and 1829 respectively. Enoch is my ancestor. I am seeking information on where in Ireland Patrick was born and anything about Elizabeth SMITH. I would like to know the name of her first husband and her maiden name and where she was born. The sponsors of the children's baptisms were Simeon DORIAN and Maraine Marie GALLANT. The children were baptised at St. Augustine's in South Rustico. Thank you for any information.

LOWE
I have been searching for any information available concerning my grandmother. Her name was Geraldine Lowe, born March 7, 1903 on PEI. She moved to Berlin N.H. sometime in the 1920's I am guessing. She passed away in Lewiston , Maine in 1986. She was a wonderful woman who was so proud of her PEI roots,unfortunately, she left us no information and her only surviving daughter, my aunt, Shirley Fournier is severely disabled with alzhiemer's disease. I visited your beautiful island (my grandmother was correct, the scenery is spectacular) two summers ago. I spoke to a gentleman in a used/antique bookstore in Charlottetown and asked about Lowe's on the island. He was a most kind and helpful man, unfortunately the contacts he provided did not pan out.(no replies to my emails). Any information would be most appreciated, I wish I would have asked before her passing. Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks for the information provided on John Harrington, born 1839 PEI, married to Mary Reid, born 1841 PEI. It looks as if John's mother given name may have been Margaret, born about 1812 Ireland. Father still unknown. I am actually trying to determine if these Harringtons are related to my wife. Her line is decendant from Cornelius Harrington, born about 1790 County Cork, Ireland, married to Johanna McGrath, born in Ireland. Both lived and died on PEI.

EASTER
Seeking ABEL EASTER with a wife Flora [who may have been previously married to another EASTER. Abel & Flora were in Welford Parish, Kent co, New Brunswick for the 1861 census. Abel was a blacksmith and born in England.

Children born in PEI :
Hariet abt 1844; John Edward abt 1848 perhaps others.

Abel named a daughter Amelia Emma Easter b abt 1866, a child of his then wife Mary.

I wonder if there is a connection to Isaac Easter, who came from England to PEI between 1811-1833; who was also a Blacksmith; had a son Charles W Easter and a daughter Amelia Easter both born in England.

McInnis
Still looking for information on Dougald McInnis and Catherine Cory.

Dougald1 McInnis married Catherine Cory.

Notes for Dougald McInnis
DOUGALD McINNIS was probably born in the Highlands of Scotland and probably died in PEI, Canada. It is not known how Dougald and his family arrived at PEI. They probably arrived with other Scottish Catholic emigrants.

Note for Catherine Cory
CATHERINE CORY was probably born in Scotland and probably died in PEI, Canada. Information on Dougald and Catherine were obtained from marriage data on microfilmed records of Rev Beaubien, St. John's Miscouche. “1818, Sept 27 - 'Halene' MacInnis, son of Dougald MacInnis and Catherine Cory of 7 Mile Bay, m Mary MacDonald, da of John (Major) MacDonald and Margaret MacLean of Lot 14. Wed Wit: Joseph Arseneau, Archibald MacDonald and Juste DesRoches.”

Children of Dougald McInnis and Catherine Cory
1. Donald McInnis m. Sarah ‘Sally’ MacDonald (sister of Mary Macdonald)
2. ALLAN ‘HALENE’ McINNIS m. Mary MacDonald

A document written by Michael Ambrose McInnis (grandson of Allan) mentions four nephews of Allan. The names are Dougald, Archie, and Major McInnis of Grand River West, PEI and Augustine J. McInnis of Murray River, PEI. The names of the parents are unknown. They would be the grandchildren of Dougald and catherine McInnis. Would like to know who their parents are and any decendants.

I am trying to locate information about my Maternal Grandmother's Family in PEI. Ella B. Murray was born of Francis (Owen) Murray and Mary E. Bennett in 1868 on PEI. Marriage, Death, and Census records from the U.S. record that Ella's Father was born in Scotland, Immigrated to PEI sometime between 1830 and 1850. Mary E. Bennett (Ella's Mother)was a PEI Native born sometime between 1820 and 1830. Some records suggest that Francis was also known as Owen Murray. Family lore remembers a Brother of Ella known as Owen Murray.
There is an Owen Murray buried in St Patrick's RC Cemetary at Fort Augustus during the year 1885. This may either be Ella's Father or Brother. Ella Immigrated to U.S. in 1885. Mary E. Bennett (supposedly) died when Ella was 9 year old, which would be about 1877. It seems with all this information I should be able to locate Ella's place of birth; or her Parents' resting place.
Unfortunately, so far, that has not been the case.

If anyone on this website has information about this Family, I would welcome any leads that you may have-

Thank you!

St Margaret of Scotland Pioneer Cemetery
Attention all descendents of early Scottish settlers in eastern PEI. We need your help!
A committee of volunteers is exploring the feasibility of restoring the St Margaret of Scotland Pioneer Cemetery which stands in an acute state of disrepair. Our goal is to preserve and protect the rich heritage of this site and honor our ancestors.
We appeal to those who know of people burried in the St Margaret of Scotland Pioneer Cemetery in St. Margarets, PEI to contact the committee. Any information is welcome i.e. stories, pictures, maps, etc so that we can compile a history and develop a website. Due to the rapid deterioration of the site, the restoration needs to start immediately. We also would appreciate donations to the this restoration project. A Tax receipt will be issued!
This Pioneer Cemetery was established in the late seventeen hundreds when the Scottish pioneeers settled the area. The Cemetery served the area from St Peters to East Point and is situted next to the site of one of the earliest Catholic Churches in PEI (1803). There are approximately 120 headstones remaining but early records indicate that there were many more buried there.

Donations are made out to: Pioneer Cemetery Fund
Mailing address: Pioneer Cemetery Fund c/o St Margarets Parish, RR #2 Fairfield, PEI C0A 2B0

MAY WILTON
Hi

I am looking for some-onewhao can tell me anything about my grandfather's sister May Eleanor Wilton. She was born in England in about 1882, and that she was still in England in 1901. Her married name was Ramsay. I can't find a marriage for her in England. After she was married she lived in PEI, and, I think, died there. I know that she had a son (called Wilton).

Apart from that I know very little. Can anyone tell me when she came to PEI, why she left England, and where else did she go? Where and when did she marry? Did she have any other descendents?

Many thanks for any information.

Looking for information on the Maple Hill MacDonald families. Was John MacDonald also known as Apple Valley MacDonald? I would like to know his wife/children...
In particular, I am searching for a Roderick Apple Valley MacDonald line. I have Roderick married to an Ann MacDonald of St.George's parish, no idea on parentage. My next jump would be to their son Ronald who married a Pulcheria MacDonald ( of the St.Peter's Lake MacDonalds).

My John MacDonald-( who is possibly Apple Valley MacDonald)...has at least 7 children: Roderick, Alexander, Margery, Janet, Catherine, Nancy and Allan

Alexander m. Helen?
Margery m. John Allisary MacDonald?
Janet m. James Tracadie MacDonald?
Catherine m. James Portage MacDonald?
Nancy m. Alexander MacDonald?
Allan m. Isobella Maple Hill MacDonald?

I have question marks after the spouses because I have no idea of the attachment to place for parents of them all. If anyone out there is connected with any of my couples, I would love to swap/share information to fill in the many gaps I have. I thank you all in advance and hope to hear from someone soon!

McLEOD BUCHANAN
Looking for any information about Isabel McLeod born PEI Feb 6, 1874. Parents were Donald Angus or Angus Donald McLeod and Catherine Buchanan. No other information on the parents at this point and I can locate nothing on the Canadian census so far. Isabel emmigrated to the US abt 1886 per 1900 US census, though one census gives an earlier date. I know she was in Ct. in 1890's where her first children were born though I am not sure whether she married in Ct. or Ma. She later lived in Ma. until her death in 1941. One of her children was named Archibald, maybe a family name? Her husband had been Walter Young. According to Isabel's death certificate, completed by her son, her parents also were born in PEI. Some US census also have PEI listed for parents place of birth. There are no other living decendents so I have been stuck for a long time. My grandmother made a passing remark once about family in Nova Scotia but I was too young to remember clearly. Also they faithfully attended the Congressional Church in the US if that is any help.

CHAPPELL
Bangor, ME Saturday, November 6, 1875, Issue 264, Col. B

The good people of Prince Edward Island take considerable pride in their young men, whom they consider average pretty well, but when they get hold of such a fellow as is thus told by the Summerside Progress, they get right
up and brag: "The young man Chappell, O'Leary road, who fell from a haystack, and being run through the body by a pitchfork, was given up by the surgeons, is recovered and is walking about. A year or two ago, while chopping
in the woods, a tree fell on him and pinned him to the ground for several hours, on which occasion he was fatally injured. Some time before he fell down the hatchway of a mill and was taken up for dead. Earlier he was thrown
from a swing, and was supposed to be killed; and, it is said, he was once drowned. Chappell is a slight young man of nineteen or twenty years of age."

Are there directories for Charlottetown in the 1930s-40s?

THOMAS BOULTER
Thomas Boulter and wife Sarah Terry, of Stanley, NB, were my 3x grandparents on my mother's side. Has anyone in PEI doing research on the Boulter line found any information on Thomas Boulter beyond the fact that he originally came from Leicester, England? (According to some of my family members, it was thought that Sarah Terry was originally from Wales.)

Would appreciate any information available. Thank you.

McLEAN / MacLEAN, STEWART / STUART, McKENZIE, McKINNON
Regarding my old queries on the family of a John L. McLEAN born 1841-42 PEI who married an Agnes MORROW b about 1841 PEI (both with parents born Scotland per 1880 census in Massachusetts) and they had a son William Wallace McLEAN b 1869 in Boston MA, and then settled in MA...also had other children. In the search for John's parents, I had some nice help from Tiny Underhay in PEI and from Pat Townshend Alnes in Norway, as well as a researcher here in TN. Now I am asking for some more help ...and consideration of further information.

After considering the following info, I welcome all opinions and/or family information if known.

Allen or Allan McLEAN and wife Christy STEWART of Lot 48, possible parents I considered for a John L.McLEAN b 1842 PEI, as follows:
=========
Child's Full Name John McLEAN
Birth Date 27 May 1842
Place of Birth Lot 48
Baptismal Date 5 July 1842
Place of Baptism
Officiating Clergy John McLennan
Father's Name Alan McLean
Mother's Name Christy Stewart
Church Name St. John's Presbyterian
Church Location Belfast
Record Book Number 2
Record Book Page 139
======
Trying to help me, Brian Cox here, who is studying families in Lot 67 emailed me and said:

John's three siblings Annie, Charles, and Elizabeth were also born in Lot 48, baptised at St John's. So parents Allan McLean and Christy Stewart of Lot 48 were quite different people than Allan McLean and Christina McKenzie of Lot 67. This is not to say they were not related.

Brian Cox goes on to say: It is interesting that we find Charles, son of Christy Stewart, has most likley moved to Lot 67, married Flora ??? and had two children by the 1881 census. This is a reasonable speculation based on age of Charles. (he is also in 1901 census in Lot 67). Was he influenced to move by his Lot 67 relatives?

And further to this McLEAN family of Lot 67, Brian also sent the following:

===============
I am examining these PEI McLEAN families due to a 66 of 67 marker DNA match (FamilyTreeDNA Clan MacLEAN project) with my direct line stemming from my most distant known ancestor Charles McLEAN / McCLAIN b about 1784 North Carolina who has UNKNOWN parents b circa 1750-60 I am trying to identify, as well as to place this Charles in some context with the PEI line that matches on DNA. Perhaps the link is in PEI or back in Scotland, perhaps a Loyalist during the American REvolution? All possibilities considered.

This search for Charles' parents has been ongoing for some years with no results, but dozens of possibilities and other very close DNA matches. Still we have holes in the lineages and no proven link.

I also have several 64 of 67 marker DNA matches, and one match is with 'cousins' Dudley and Mary, on a line descending from Charles McLAIN b abt 1713 (from Isle of Mull / Ulster) who immigrated and settled in Monmouth NJ, married there 1731 to Lydia CHEESEMAN,had more children and 2nd marriage and then settled in Pennsylvania. So far we find no link ..but many holes and possibilities ..with my line from Charles McCLAIN b abt 1784 NC who went to KY, then was found in Warren Co TN, then up to Gallatin Illinois, and back down to TN, living in West TN and settling in Weakley County TN where he died. FAmily lore from my line and the lines of 'found' cousins all say they were Scot-Irish from Isle of Mull.

Mary found the following and my question to anyone here is,"Can anyone tell me if the above Allen McLEAN family of (Lot 48) and/or Lot 67, relates in any way to the earlier-born Allen McLEAN below?"
===================
Mary writes:
I just reread the bio of Allan MacLEAN I had obtained from the "Dictionary of Canadian Biography" and it includes the information that after the battles at Quebec, etc. in 1756-1761(what we call the "French and Indian War") he returned to Britain in 1861 when he was made major commandant of the 114th Foot(Maclean's Highlanders), proceeded to North America with his men "but in 1763 the regiment was disbanded and MacLEAN went on half pay. A number of his men settled on St. John's(Prince Edward) Island." Later, he was empowered June 12, 1775 to raise a "corps of two Battalions...to be called the Royal Highland Emigrants...the first battalion was recruited in Canada and New York and the second in Nova Scotia and St.John's(P.E.I.) Island...during the revolutionary war the second battalion never served as a unit, although some detachments were sent to the Carolinas..." Maybe that's how your ancestors got from Prince Edw. Is. to NC/SC.......????? Maybe lists of these soldiers are obtainable from Canada...???? Where did they disband...???? did some return to the Carolinas after the war....????
==============
Many thanks to anyone who can offer some information.

While going through some old albums of my mother in preparation for the Horne Reunion, I came across a snapshot dated December 1944 with 3 men and 3 animals. The men in the snapshot were Heber Horne (my father), Addison Horne and Walter Dockendorff. My problem is that I did a lot of research on the Horne family back around 2000, but on checking my research I don't appear to be able to find any mention of Addison. Is there anyone out there who can give me a clue? I wouls greatly appreciate it.

BENJAMIN BARSTOW
A Benjamin Barstow lived on City Island in the Bronx (New York) and was married to a "Sarah E." According to the New York Times Obit she was a widow and died Aug 21, 1921. They lived at 230 City Island Avenue. The house was abandoned for many years and as a very young boy I entered it after some others had broken into it. I recall seeing very expensive looking lamps, furnishings and articles from all over the world. The man may have been a ship captain or other profession which allowed him to collect these things. I have looked at your geneology of EI Barstows, but cannot see any connection. Sarah was 75 when she died, making her birth about 1846 and give or take 15 years I see no Benjamin. Different family ??? I could not find an Obit on Benjamin . . .

They are my mother's gg grandparents, her great-grandfather was Patrick Fitzpatrick (born ca. 1821-1825) who lived in the Dorchester/Memramcook area of NB. We are not certain as to where he was born.

Posting personal genealogy info
We like to share information on family genealogy but in this day of such prevalent ID fraud, what recourse do we have when people post your personal info on their sites, without your permission, and especially when you repeatedly have asked them to delete it. This site restricts info to deceased individuals as it should be, but in my opinion, posting private personal information on living members is a direct invasion of that person's privacy. If anybody has any suggestions to resolve this, I think it would benefit all genealogy researchers.
Thank you.

MCNEIL
Although I am not actively researching the McNeil family, there is a Margaret McNeil of Vernon River in my family tree. She married my GG grandfather Joseph Edward Heckbert. Here is all the information that I have:
He was listed as Edward Heckbert, bachelor, and she was listed as Margaret McNeil, spinster, Vernon River. They were married in Zion Presbyterian Church in Charlottetown by James Fletcher (Justice of the Peace) on 22 August 1874.

Sadly, Joseph was not really a bachelor but was a married man. Margaret obviously found out and eventually testified against him in January 1876 when he was being tried for bigamy. He was sentenced to one year in jail in Charlottetown but died in June of that year in jail. I have always wanted to find out a bit more information about Margaret - who her parents were, when and where she was born, and if she had any children with Joseph.

I found another marriage record for a Margaret McNeil who married in 1877:
Margaret A McNeill, spinster of Vernon River married Edwin Garrett, bachelor, of St. John's NB on 26 December 1877. Witnesses were Mary and D J McDonald. Book 1, Page 11, #197. Zion Presbyterian Records.
I wonder if this is the same Margaret McNeil that married Jospeh Edward Heckbert?

Id love to hear from anyone who might have information about the Margaret McNeil that married Joseph Edward Heckbert.

I am rather new at PEI genealogy. I have not had any luck with contacting any of the Lett(e) families of PEI, but I was able to trace the PEI Leet(e)'s all the way back to the Governor of the Connecticut Colony through his death in 1683 (b. 1613 England). This was easy once I got my connection - the Governor's lineage is in a book written in the 1800s! I am related to Emily Leet (b. circa 1835) who married William Stewart (b circa. 1835) and lived in West River, PEI according to the book. William and Emily Stewart's daughter Margaret married Charles Young, Lot 45/46 boundary as I can see. The late Johnny Ross Young is part of Charles and Margaret Young's lineage.

As to the Governor's line: it includes folks from PEI; Claremont, NH; Quebec; Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, CT and more. The Leets and Stewarts seem to be from Lots 46 and 47.

Anyone related? Kathy

ROBERTSON, James C.
From Washington State USGenweb. If you go to the webpage, there's a photo of James and his wife.

http://wagenweb.org/garfield/robertson.htm

JAMES C. ROBERTSON

For more than a third of a century James C. ROBERTSON has been identified with the farming interest of Garfield county and now carries on general agricultural pursuits on section 25, township 11 north, range 41 east, where he owns three hundred and seventeen acres and cultivates part of this tract or about one hundred and fifty acres. He started out in life empty-handed, so that whatever success he has achieved is attributable entirely to his persistent efforts and intelligently directed industry. He was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, September 30, 1862, a son of John and Mary (STEEL) ROBERTSON, who are mentioned in connection with the sketch of their son, John ROBERTSON, on another page of this work.

James C. ROBERTSON spent the first ten years of his life in Canada and in 1873 accompanied his parents to California, where the family home was maintained until 1882. In the meantime the father died and the mother accompanied by her family of four sons and a daughter, then came to Washington. James C. ROBERTSON had been a pupil schools of Canada and of California and was a youth of fifteen years at the time of his father's death. Being the oldest of the children, much of the responsibility of the farm work devolved upon him and he bravely met the task that was a heavy burden for young shoulders. In the spring of 1882 he came to Washington, making the trip in advance of the family. He journeyed northward with an uncle and on the 10th of May they arrived at Pomeroy. That fall the mother and his brothers and sister came and in connection with his brothers, Samuel N. and John, James C. ROBERTSON began farming in a partnership relation that existed for twenty years. Unusual harmony existed between the family, the tie that binds them being very close. The brothers persistently and energetically continued the work of improving their fields and, as the years passed on, success in substantial measure rewarded their efforts. At length they divided their interests and James C. ROBERTSON is today the owner of three hundred and seventeen acres of land, part of which he has brought under a high state of cultivation, his fields returning to him a gratifying annual income.

In 1888 was celebrated the marriage of James C. ROBERTSON and Miss Ollie M. SWANK, of Garfield county. a daughter of John SWANK, who is now in Orofino, Idaho, but was one of the earliest of the pioneer settlers of Garfield county. Mr. and Mrs. ROBERTSON have become the parents of seven children, as follows: Rosella, who is the wife of C.E. LEWIS, a farmer of Garfield county, Washington; Elvira, who gave her hand in marriage to Henry RUCKET, an agriculturist of Garfield county; and Floyd, Belinda, Sybil and Bryon, all at home. The wife and mother passed away February 13, 1905, and is laid to rest in the Petowa Flats cemetery, her demise causing deep sorrow to family and friends.

Mr. ROBERTSON usually exercises his right of franchise is support of the men and measures of the republican party yet is liberal in his views and does not hesitate to vote for a candidate of the opposing party if his judgement dictates this to be the best course. He belongs to Harmony lodge, No. 16, I.O.O.F., of Pomeroy; and to Pomeroy Lodge, K.P. He ranks with the leading farmers of Tatman Gulch and he well merits the high regard in which he is uniformly held, for his has been an active, useful and honorable life.

COLE, Marion Alma
Washington State USGenweb page
Jerome Romaine married Marion Alma Cole daughter of Converse Cole whose wife was born Summerside, PEI (near bottom of article).

http://theusgenweb.org/wa/whatcom/bios/bios1.htm
JEROME W. ROMAINE

Jerome W. Romaine, a leading attorney of Whatcom, Washington, and a prominent politician of Whatcom County, was born May 15, 1859, in Fond du Lac county, Wisconsin. He is a son of Garrett and Martha L. (Harbaugh) Romaine, the former of whom was of Dutch extraction, his ancestors emigrating from Holland, and the latter of German-English-French ancestry. The Romaine family was established in the state of New York in 1679. The father of Jerome W. Romaine was a farmer and stockman in that state until his death, on October 22, 1899. All of his kindred lived in New York or New Jersey. The mother of our subject was a native of Ohio and now resides at Dayton, Washing-ton. Our subject's brothers and sisters are: William B., who has been a farmer at Dayton, is now a resident of .Portland, Oregon; John Henry is a farmer and stock-raiser at Dayton; Frantz S. is a rancher and stockman at Dayton; Freeman C. is engaged in the same business; Charity A. is the wife of Newton James, a farmer of Dayton; and Rachel J. is the wife of Henry James, who is also engaged in farming at Dayton.

Jerome W. Romaine was educated in the public schools of Dayton and graduated at the high school in 1881. His law reading was done with Judge R. F. Sturdevant at Dayton, and he was admitted to the bar in 1887, before Judge Langford, judge of the United States district court. Prior to this, however, in 1882, he went to Big Timber, Montana, near the Yellowstone, and spent seven months on the range as a cowboy. Returning to Dayton, in the spring of 1883 he was appointed deputy assessor three years, and deputy sheriff for seven months, at the same time filling the position of clerk of the city schools. With this practical experience of men and affairs, Mr. Romaine commenced his law practice, and for six months in 1888 officiated as the editor and publisher of the Okanogan Outlook. He encountered many difficulties in this enterprise, but with wonderful ingenuity managed to issue his paper regularly, although at one time it had to be printed on wall paper, exhausting the town's supply of this article. His services on this paper were terminated by his election as county superintendent' of schools, in which position he efficiently served for two years, until 1890.

Mr. Romaine then went to Olympia, where he was made assistant secretary in the state senate during- the first state legislature, in 1889-90, when he returned to Okanogan, closed up his business affairs and removed to Whatcom, where, on July I, 1890, he opened his law office, in 1891 forming a partnership with Major A. S. Cole. When he was appointed secretary of the Whatcom tide land appraisers, he gave his attention to the duties of that office during the existence of the board, which appraised all the tide lands in the county. After dissolving partnership with Major Cole, he became associated with Frank H. Richards, and later with Judge I. N. Maxwell. In the fall of 1896 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Whatcom county. In October, 1898, his health became impaired, and he made a trip to Honolulu, where he remained recuperating for seven months, during which time he was admitted to practice in the supreme court of Hawaii. Returning to the United States, he practiced law for nine months at Oakland, California. In the spring of 1900 he returned to Whatcom, and in August, 1901, he formed a partnership with Judge John R. Crites.

During the past ten years Mr. Romaine has been considerably interested in mining properties, and owns a one-third interest in the Whistler Group mines on Slate creek in Washington, and has other interests here and in the Mt. Baker district. He is one of the stockholders and a promoter of the Bellingham Oyster Company, and is serving as its secretary-an organization which has acquired seven hundred acres on Samish flats, in which have been found a choice variety of oyster. He is also one of the members and an organizer of the Bellingham Lumber & Shingle Company of Fairhaven, which has a paid-in capital of fifty thousand dollars. The capacity of its plant is thirty-five thousand feet of lumber per day, and the company is engaged in building a box factory in connection with it.

Mr. Romaine has been an active and is a very influential member of the Republican Party, and for two years was the secretary of the Republican county convention in Okanogan and its secretary in Whatcom County for four years. In 1902 he was nominated for the state senate in the forty-second district, but was defeated. He has been regular in his attendance at the different state and county conventions, and is regarded by his party as one of its leaders.

On July 21, 1897, Mr. Romaine was married at Whatcom to Marion Alma Cole, daughter of Converse G. Cole, formerly postmaster at Whatcom. Mr. Cole was of English descent, but was born in New Hampshire, his wife being a native of Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Mrs. Romaine died June 3, 1898, leaving an infant daughter, Lecil Alma, born June 1, 1898. Mr. Romaine belongs to the various branches of the Masonic fraternity, and is also a Modern Woodman. His religious connection is with the Episcopal Church.

LEARD, Harold C.
Found this on USGebweb page for Washington State.

HAROLD C. LEARD FAMILY

Harold Leard was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, June 13, 1896 to William and Annie Leard; sister Ethel was born in 1905. The family moved west to
Saskatchewan in 1907 where he finished high school and became a mechanic. He harvested crops for farmers with his machinery in the Beatty area
where he was active in church and community. He came to the states in 1923, met
and married Velma Hostetter in 1925.
Velma, daughter of Austin and Neomi Hostetter was born Jan. 11, 1894 in
Welda, Kansas. Her parents had homesteaded land at Knowles, Oklahoma. After her
father was killed her mother moved her and three sisters to Goodwill
to complete their education. Harold and Velma made their first home in Detroit, Michigan, where Harold worked for the Ford company, Daughter Lillian was born in 1927. In 1928 they moved to Oklahoma to farm the Hostetter land, where son Marion was born in 1929.
The dust bowl forced their move west in 1936, They settled on a farm on
Newaukum Hill just out of Chehalis. There with hard work and determination they
built up a productive chicken business. Their children have always
been grateful that they were taught the value of hard work.
Their Christmas trees in Oklahoma were usually a dead fruit tree so
naturally the family was delighted with the beautiful fir trees here. The first
Christmas spent in Washington the family cut down seven six-foot trees and tied
them to the veranda posts around the house to commemorate the seven years
without green Christmas trees in Oklahoma. The eighth tree was put up
inside the house on the hand-cranked washing machine, They could only afford two ornaments and a few icicles. One of the ornaments is still being used by Lillian. The family attended Sunday School at Newaukum and Evaline, and were involved in community activities. They often played musical instruments together, Velma the piano, Harold and Lillian violins, and Marion the coronet. Harold whistled everywhere he went on the farm, feeding chickens or walking down the street. When residents on the hill cleared land and had a large brush pile to burn all the neighbor families would gather in the evening to control the burn and enjoy a potluck.
Marion and Lillian graduated from the Adna schools. Lillian
married Dennis Francy in 1947, and they reside in the Chehalis area.
Harold passed away in 1952 of leukemia, and after the farm
was sold Velma and Marion moved to Paradise, California, where Marion built homes for some time. He then served as director of Heifer Project in Germany for two years for the Church of the Brethren. He is now a building contractor in Glendale. He married Lucille Crawford and they have four children.
Velma married Fletcher Hanshaw in 1959, and he passed on in 1967. She
continues to enjoy good health and lives alone in her home in Modesto,
California.

ESSARY, Joseph
I found this in USGenweb pages for North Dakota.

http://lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndirs/exhibitions/photographers/biography/essery.html


Business years 1882 - 1884
Business address 618 1st Avenue No.: (after 1884 numbered 619 1st Avenue No.)

Joseph Essery was born about 1860 in Prince Edward Island, Canada. In the 1880 United States Census he was living with his brother's family in St. Paul, Minn. working as a photographer.

He first operated a studio in Fargo on First Avenue North between Broadway and Roberts Street according to the 1882 and 1883 city directories. In the 1884 directory the address is listed as 618 First Avenue North where he also resided.

Mr. Essery was probably in partnership with S. Norrish in 1883 and Frank Agnew in 1884, since they are listed at the same address in the city directories.

No additional information has been found regarding Mr. Essery, and he was not listed in the 1885 Dakota Territory census.

COX, John Henry
Amador ledger (Jackson, Amador County, Calif): May 26, 1905

"Death of John H. Cox

John H. Cox, a former resident of Amador county, died last week in San Francisco. He attended ditch for many years for the Amador Canal, on the Clinton beat. For some time he has bene employed in the city, his family having moved there several years ago. He will be remembered as a man of many sterling qualities, and his many friends throughout the county will regret to hear of his death. The Examiner of the 19th, has the following account of his demise:

On October 11, 1904, Cox, who was 74 years of age and a native of Prince Edward's Island, injured his hand with a rusty nail while removing building debris at Fillmore street and Duboce avenue. His wife, his two sons and his daughter-in-law say that on October 17th he went under the treatment of Dr. Carl Von Tiedemann, and that he remained under Von Tiedmann's treatment until April 5th. They sat that Von Tiedemann contracted to cure Cox for $100,and that they paid him $75 of that amount. Von Tiedemann says he was discharged three months ago, when a christian scientist was called into the case. It was for that reason, says Von Tiedemann, that he refused to sign the death certificate.

Detective Cody says that after Von Tiedemann gave up the case Silas M. Cox, a son of John H. Cox, called in Charles M. Howe, a christian scientist, with office in the Phelan building. This, says Cody, was done against the wishes of the sick man's wife, his other son and his daughter-in-law. The final result was that Cox died of gangrene of the left foot.

Now, Dr. Dudley Taft of the State Board of Medical Examiners has been called in for the purpose of handling Von Tiedemann. Tait has been prosecuting Von Tiedemann on the charge of practicing medicine without a license,and the coroner thinks that Tait should know all about Von Tiedemann's connection with the Cox case."

(Note: I rechecked article - rusty nail in hand but died of gangrene of left foot.)

Sillifant/Silliphant
My great great grandmother was Charlotte Sillifant, who was married to William Mallett of Graham\'s Road. I have been told that at least one brother of Charlotte\'s came out to PEI from Petrockstowe, Devon and that a child, David Sillifant, was born in 1840. The family spelled the name several different ways, originally it was spelled Pillifant. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has information on this family.

PEIGS MEETING UPCOMING!
The Annual Meeting of the PEI Genealogical Society will be held on Saturday, April 26th at Beaconsfield\'s Carriage House in Charlottetown at 2 pm.

Guest speaker will be author and well-known Island historian Dr. Edward MacDonald. He will present \"Who\'s Afraid of the Fenians? The Fenian Scare of 1866\". The Fenians were an Irish-American organization dedicated to the overthrow of British rule in Ireland. In the winter of 1866, Islanders, like other British North Americans, experienced a wave of panic, convinced that the Fenians were about to stage an attack on Prince Edward Island. Dr. MacDonald will explore the Fenian Scare and how it was exploited by the Island\'s government to serve its own ends.

Dr. MacDonald is an Associate Professor of History at UPEI, is the former editor of The Island Magazine and was Curator of History for the Prince Edward Island Museum for many years. He is the author of several books including \"If You\'re Stronghearted\" and has written over a score of articles pertaining to the history and culture of Prince Edward Island.

The meeting is open to the public and free of charge. Refreshments will be served.

Founded in 1976, the PEI Genealogical Society is a non-profit organization that promotes education and research in family history and genealogy. The society holds four general meetings per year in February, April, September and November. For additional information about the PEI Genealogical Society, visit their web site at www.peigs.ca

SMITH, Hedley
Found this and have one other that is a download - if anyone wants it, please email me.

Hedley Fletcher Smith
Lewis and Clark County
History of Montana, 1913

To say that Mr. Smith has had an active part in the up building of Helena is no figure of speech, although it happens to be true in both a literal and a figurative sense, for the occupation of this progressive citizen of Helena is that of a contractor and he has had a share in the erecting of more than one of its notable buildings.

Mr. Smith is a Canadian by birth, being a native of Prince Edward Island. Here he was born on April 19, 1862 on the farm of his father, Isaac Smith. In the year 1817 Christopher Smith, the grandfather of Hedley Fletcher Smith, immigrated from Yorkshire England, with his wife and infant son, Isaac. He was a civil engineer and when he came to Canada he engaged in farming besides following his profession. His son continued in the same occupation and became one of the influential citizens of that district. He lived to be more than ninety years of age and died full of years and honors in 1909. One of his brothers, the Rev. Matthew Smith, is now, at ninety-eight, still filling the pulpit of a church in New Brunswick. Age has had no power to sap the mental and spiritual vigor of this minister and the Baptist denomination of New Brunswick regards him as one of the able leaders in the army of those who climb the steep ascent to heaven, mid terror, toil and pain. Hedley Smith's mother was of Welsh descent. Her family came to America in the same year (1817) as that in which his father's people settled there. Anne Meyers was born in Canada and died in Prince Edward Island in 1900, at the age of sixty. Her people followed farming and also followed the sea-faring occupations. Mr. Smith has inherited a large share of the sturdy qualities of his ancestors and has proved himself a worthy descendant of the race which has shaped the destiny of the western hemisphere.


The provincial schools of Canada provided Mr. Smith with his elementary education and for a time after completing his study there, he worked on his father's farm. Obeying the impulse which seizes most young men to seek newer country, he went a thousand miles or so to the west and settled in Winnipeg. He remained in that flourishing town for one year, and then moved to Cooperstown where he followed the same occupation he had been working at in Winnipeg, that of a carpenter. At the end of three years, Mr. Smith left North Dakota, and in 1887 went to Butte. Half a year was then spent in the mining city of Montana, at the end of which period Mr. Smith came to Helena. He adopted the capital as his permanent residence and has been engaged in business there ever since. Until 1905 Mr. Smith did not operate as a contractor but was employed by other building concerns in various capacities of an executive nature. For nine months the state capitol was in process of erection, he was for a year and a quarter in charge of the entire force in this period, he was employed on that of W.G. Conrad for eight months, as well as upon a number of other contracts. Since starting in the contracting business, Mr. Smith has been connected with many of the most important building enterprises entered upon in Helena, during the last seven years.

Mr. Smith's family consists of four members besides himself. His eldest son, Walter Harold Smith, born in Helena in 1892 is now at work at his trade. The one daughter, Victoria Ruby is attending business college in Helena and Herbert N. is in the grades at school being thirteen years of age. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Anne Catherine Gallagher. Her birthplace was Ireland but she was reared in England. In 1891 she came to America alone and the same year was married to Mr. Smith at Helena.

In 1879 he removed to Omaha and became a well known general contractor of this city. He was married on PEI and passed away in Omaha in 1881, while his widow, long surviving, departed this life in 1914.\" These are biographies of Alfred and his brother, Charles and go into detail about their working life and personal life - wives and children.

Andrew MacDonald in Prison
Hi All
Along time ago, my Father used to tell of Andrew being in prison in Southern US. He was an excellent Gaelic singer and used to sing to pass the time. A guard heard him and as he was the only guard who understood Gaelic found out who he was and after a time managed to spring him from the prison. I had forgotten the story until I read about his capture in The Glenaladale Pioneers.
from which I quote
\"The \"Mclans of Ardnamurchan\" have their descendants in the extreme east of the province. Andrew Macdonald, born in 1745, was a merchant in Arisaig, and his wife was Isabel of the Isle of Canna Such favorable accounts were being received from Captain Johns settlers of the richness of the soil, that Andrew determined to close up his business and follow, but he first sent his brother, known afterwards as \"Big John of West River.\" (Snip)
While on a voyage to England in 1812, with one of his younger sons, the ship was captured by an American privateer, and the passengers imprisoned in Charleston, undergoing very harsh treatment for a long time.\"
Has anyone more to add to this story?
What about \"Big John of West River\". Anyone know of this fellow?
Have a good day

MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS CHANGING!
Hi Everyone:

This is just a note to tell all of you that my email address of 15 years will no longer be good after April 15th.

This is due to the sale of ISN to Eastlink, and subsequent changes by Eastlink.

The new email address is dhunter [at] islandregister [dot] com

This site will also be moving over to a new server in the next week or so. This move should be relatively transparent to you - one of the advantages of havng a domain name. You will still use the same address to access the server. One day it will be on the ISN server, and the next day it will be on the good one.

It is possible that you may experience some problems using the Guestbook, Surname Database, etc. as we reconfigure them for the new server, but all of the standard pages should work fine.

When we move over to the new server, we will change all of the email links to myself at the bottom of each of the ~5000 pages to the new one - until that day, these links will point to my old address.

I had dreaded the possibility of this happening, but I had made preparations including reserving new server space for the site. I can't give you an exact timeline of the moving to the new server, but you will still use the same address, so no links or bookmarks should change, so use it as usual.

My new email address is active now, and is the preferred address to use now.

Thanks,

Dave

Dow
Hi! I am looking for any information about a Daniel Macdonald born in Prince Edward Island somewhere around 1900? He emmigrated to the United States and settled in Gloucester. He married Lydia Wyman of Gloucester, MA. He worked as a laborer. I believe he had three children. Other than that, I know very little about him.

My cousin and I are researching our family roots. We are looking for any information.
