General Notes: His father gave him three hundred acres in Boston Neck, now known as the Governor Brown farm, but it is probable that he did not live there for any length of time. He was too ambitious to be long content with the simple, uneventful life of a farmer; building ships to carry the products of his farms to distant markets, had little attraction for a man show could build fast-sailing privateers at his own shipyard to chase the enemies of the King, and recover from them their ill-gotten gains. A cargo of rum to be exchanged for molasses had not as pleasant a savour, and was not as profitable as the sweet-smelling spices, fragrant teas, or other luxuries that his ships brought back from their long voyages. There are no records to prove he ever became a large landholder in the Narragansett country. His Boston Neck farm did retain, certainly until 1760, when his first wife was buried there. When a part of this farm was sold a few years ago, descendants of Thomas and his wife reverently moved the mouldering remains to the Boston Neck burying-ground of Wilkins Updike, whose wife (a daughter of Walter Watson) was a granddaughter of "Virginia Tom." Soon after Thomas Hazard's marriage he went to Newport, where he became a successful merchant, making a large fortune. His son, William Hazard, stated before the Loyalist Commissioners, in 1833, that his father had an estate of £20,000 confiscated in the United States. He was, like the greater number of the Hazard family of his generation, strongly conservative, and adhered to the cause of the King during the struggle for independence. It is not known that he took an active part in actual warfare, but he was obliged to leave his family, and flee to New York, then in possession of the British. His property was confiscated; he being the only member of the family who suffered in this way. The others who were attainted, after a little discipline and a few months' absence from home, made their peace with the Colony, and were restored their civil rights. "Virginia Tom" was of too strong a build and too dominant a nature to yield his firm convictions to a matter of security to his person and estate. Even after the war was over, and he was offered free pardon and restoration of his property, he refused to accept either, at the price of submission. However, the Colony was most kind and gentle to her high-spirited children, and restored all his estate to his wife and children after the close of the war. His adopted mother proved herself but a step-mother, for all but a thousand acres of land granted to him in Ile S. Jean, now Prince Edward Island, but a small part, if any, came into his possession. A great-grandson says: "As far as can be ascertained at present, he never profited by any grants of land in this Island, made to him as a loyalist." Very little is known of his life after he went to Prince Edward Island, in 1786: shortly after his arrival there he is found filling some minor public offices; also at an election in 1787, he was returned as a member of the House of Assembly on both opposing lists. He was peculiar in being the only person having that honor. A great- grandson who furnishes this information adds, "I think that election was set aside as void. I have not yet ascertained whether or not he ever sat in the house." There is no record of office-holding while an inhabitant of the Colony of Rhode Island. His name first occurs in the Colonial Records in 1760, when he and Henry Wall of North Kingstown petitioned the General Assembly, "and represented that they, at their own costs and charges, equipped a private ship of war, against His Majesty's enemies, under the command of Captain Abel Michiner; that the said ship, in her cruise, took a vessel belonging to the subjects of the French king, who are now prisoners of war, in Newport aforesaid, and supported at the sole expense of the petitioners; whereupon they prayed that they be permitted to fit out and send a vessel with a flag of truce, to carry out the aforesaid eleven Frenchmen to the West Indies, and there deliver them unto the commander in chief of such port or place, as they shall send to." This petition was granted, "provided that they cause so many English prisoners to be brought back into Newport as the vessel will carry; provided also, that the vessel to be sent, be under the same regulations and restrictions with others going to the colonies, ports, or Produced by: Donald W.

Thomas Hazard married, about 1746, Mary Preeson, or Preston, Bowdoin, daughter of Peter Bowdoin of Virginia. Pierre Baudouin, "who came to American in 1686, was one of the Baudouin family of La Rochelle, one of the most important and ancient" of that city. Its different branches were known from the names taken from numerous "seigneuries" which they possessed. They were descended from Pierre Baudouin, Ecuyer, Sieur de la Laigue, who married the daughter of Jean Bureau, mayor of La Rochelle in 1448. The Baudouins were among the first disciples of the Reformed faith. Several of them distinguished themselves by services to the Protestant cause. In consequence of the severities practiced toward the Protestants, Pierre Baudouin left France, and took refuge in the city of Dublin. Later he was induced to come to America, and settle in Maine, where he received a grant of land. He came to Boston in 1690, with his two sons, Jean and James. Jean, the elder, afterwards moved to Virginia, where his descendants may still be found. It was his granddaughter, Mary Preeson Bowdoin, who married Thomas Hazard. James Bowdoin, Governor of Massachusetts, was descended from Pierre, through James Bowdoin. It is from this branch of the Bowdoin family that Bowdoin College takes its name, as well as the square and street of that name in Boston. Mary Preeson (or Preston) Bowdoin Hazard died, in Rhode Island, April 17, 1760. The inscription on the gravestone reads, "She was a loving and kind wife." It is from this marriage that the Watsons, Updikes, and other Narragansett families are descended. Thomas Hazard married, secondly, Eunice, daughter of Willam and Mary (Sheldon) Rhodes, and great- granddaughter of Roger Williams. She was born December 12, 1741, and died January 22, 1809. From this marriage, the Haszards now living in Prince Edward Island are descended.2 Virginia Tom married Eunice RHODES [52267]2 after 17 Apr 1760.4 Eunice was born on 12 Dec 1741,2 died on 22 Jan 18092 at age 67, and was buried in Charlottetown, PE, CAN.5 They had seven children: Thomas Rhodes, Eunice, William, Sarah, Waitstill Curtis, Bowdoin, and Rhodes. Marriage Notes: Tom was first married to Mary Preeson Bowdoin in 1746. She died 17 Apr 1760. Dave Hunter's Haszard lineage shows there were 9 children born by his marriage to Mary though none are listed. They are listed in the Haszards of Rhode Island book (Google Books).4 Burial Notes: Old Protestant Burying Ground 2-Thomas Rhodes HASZARD [52096]6 was born on 1 Mar 1762,2 died on 30 Nov 18392 at age 77, and was buried in Charlottetown, PE, CAN.7 Death Notes: 3 Dec 1839, The P.E.I.

  • The History of Higher Education in the Province of Prince Edward Island
    CCHA Study Sessions, 38(1971), 19-49 The History of Higher Education in the Province of Prince Edward Island by Sister Mary Olga McKENNA, S.C.H. Mount St. Vincent University, Halifax, Nova Scotia In a recent work entitled Changing Patterns of Higher Education in Canada edited by Robin S. Harris and published by the University of Toronto Press in 1966, Monsignor H. J. Somers introduces his treatise on the Atlantic Provinces with the following generalization: The history of education in these provinces is a fascinating story of geography, racial rivalry, politics, religion, and education. I have placed education last because man y t imes the other factors were the major influences in determining educational policy, or lack of policy. Normally the educational development has not been planned but has simply evolved in response to local circumstances. It is only within the past century that definite patterns have emerged and hardened into systems, whether at the elementary, secondary, or university level. The First World War and the great depression of the 1930’s did little to change the approach to education, except to make more meager the educational facilities, and more austere the lives of those who devoted themselves to th education of youth.1 The history of higher education in the Province of Prince Edward Island is no exception . The apparently radical changes which have been effected in the structure of post-secondary education in the Island Province over the past few years, when viewed from the historical perspective, may be seen as the result of an almost two-hundred-year history of attempts on the part of the government to provide a provincial institution of higher learning supported by public funds which would serve the needs of the Island people.

  • The Jean S. Lockerby Memorial Scholarship
    SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS COMMITTEE REGISTRAR’S OFFICE 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown PE C1A 4P3 Telephone: (902) 566-0358 Fax: (902) 566-0795 The Jean S. Lockerby Memorial Scholarship DESCRIPTION These scholarships have been established by the Lockerby family in memory of their parents, Lloyd and Jean. Lloyd Lockerby passed away in February 2008 in Summerside, PEI. His death was preceded by that of his wife, Jean, in 1998. Lloyd and his wife Jean were partners in life, together raising three sons and operating a Shorthorn cattle operation and a third-generation fox farm in Hamilton, PEI. The high quality of foxes produced on the Lockerby ranch became recognized throughout PEI, Canada and abroad, and Lloyd himself became known as one of the most knowledgeable fox ranchers in the industry. Lloyd graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1933, and from MacDonald College, a constituent of McGill University, in 1938, being the recipient that year of the Governor General’s medal for top standing in his class. During the decades thereafter, he made an indelible mark in his regional community and in the broader community of Prince Edward Island. Jean was throughout her life a strong advocate of education at all levels. Having graduated from Prince of Wales College in 1930 with a first class teacher’s licence, she taught in several Island schools, including Summerside High School. She had a keen interest and provided leadership in community affairs, particularly in the areas of heritage and culture. In honour of Lloyd Lockerby’s deep commitment to community service and the agricultural community of Prince Edward Island, and Jean Lockerby’s desire to encourage, recognize and support students pursuing post-secondary education, and to contribute to the future well-being of the Island, these scholarships have been created in their memories.

  • Doing More with Less: the Sisters of St. Martha (PEI) Diminish the Impact of the Great Depression
    10609-03 MacDonald 2/6/04 10:34 AM Page 21 HEIDI MACDONALD Doing More With Less: The Sisters of St. Martha (PEI) Diminish the Impact of the Great Depression PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND HAD THE LOWEST per capita income in the country in the first half of the 20th century and fewer government-funded health and social services than most provinces.1 Because of this ongoing poverty and lack of services, some historians have argued that the Great Depression was hardly noticed in PEI, while provinces such as Saskatchewan, whose economy really plummeted, suffered more severely.2 Such arguments concerning the relative poverty of provinces obscure the more valuable question of how Prince Edward Islanders survived the Depression. A significant factor in Islanders’ survival was the work of the Sisters of St. Martha in health and social services. This was true particularly for the 45 per cent of the PEI population who were Roman Catholic. During the Depression, this small congregation of sisters, who numbered 41 in 1930, cared for thousands of people. Although the Depression prevented many clients from paying the fees that supported their social institutions, the sisters continued providing the services that constituted most of the Roman Catholic social order: a 72-bed hospital, a 100-bed orphanage and a 75-bed geriatric facility.3 In addition, they directly confronted the Depression by creating a social services department that served thousands of Roman Catholics annually, beginning in 1931. Contrary to John Taylor’s contention that in the early 1930s “voluntary charity as a means of providing relief collapsed”, the Sisters of St.

In 1834 Government House was built with funds advanced through an issue of Treasury Notes to be repaid with monies raised for the purpose by an Assessment on Land. It cost, in the currency of the day, £3,142.17.3, and was intended to serve as a Vice-Regal residence for the Lieutenant Governors of the then British colony of Prince Edward Island. The architectural design of the house is Georgian, with echoes of the Palladian tradition, and was the work of Isaac Smith. The wooden building was constructed by the architect in association with Henry Smith and Nathan Wright, a firm of local builders. The main structure is 95 feet long by 65 feet wide with two wings at the rear of the residence measuring 28 feet long by 25 feet wide, under which was placed a full Island sandstone foundation, most of which still supports the residence.

  • Abortion Politics in the Maritime Provinces, 1969-1988
    A Region at Odds: Abortion Politics in the Maritime Provinces, 1969-1988 by Katrina Ackerman A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Katrina Ackerman 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The inaccessibility of abortion services in the Maritime Provinces remains a constant topic in the media, and yet little research has been conducted to explain the barriers to the procedure in the region. Despite many excellent studies on the barriers enforced at a provincial level after the Supreme Court of Canada case R. v. Morgentaler (1988), which decriminalized abortion nationwide, few studies provide insight into to the reasoning for strong opposition to abortion access in the region. This dissertation endeavours to fill this gap in the scholarship through a historical analysis of abortion politics in the Maritime Provinces between 1969 and 1988. When the federal government liberalized the abortion law in 1969 at the behest of the women’s movement, Canadian Bar Association, and Canadian Medical Association, opposition to the medical procedure came to the forefront. Medical professionals, politicians, clergy, and citizens quickly united to form pro-life organizations and became a powerful countermovement in the region. Through an exploration of medical society, government, and social movement organization records in conjunction with interviews with residents, this dissertation offers insight into the effectiveness and longevity of pro-life activism in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
