FOREWORD

This is a useful foreword. In a few lines it reviews the book in advance. It tells of its pur­ poses and the way these are carried out. To read a review in advance, in itself serves a useful purpose. It assists with the further reading, or it may save the reader from continuing. THE LOGANS OF AMHERST is a presentation of a Nova Scotia family over seven genera­ tions covering the period 1761 to 1966. After a brief introduction dealing with the political and social situation around Chignecto Isthmus in the period 1750 - 1763 attention turns directly to th is family. Thereupon 1·he story proceeds throughout in two channels - or ways of describing its people. Channel I consists entirely of genealogical tables showing the names of all members of the seven generations, each in his one and only right place. He is surrounded by his near relatives with each of them also in his right place. This part uses several double pages in its· display of blood relationships and marriage unions. Channel II uses straight ahead prose to the tune of some hundred pages. It is about the same people and takes them in about the same order. It seeks to acquaint the reader with them al I as persons and families; and the method used is to tell him significant things about them such as: where each member lived; his formal education; what occupation he follows; what other interests shown or services rendered. It gives special attention to the spouse - husband or wife - marrying into the family from outside - particularly with respect to origin. With the first generations, of course, the technique is somewhat different. There was no step-ladder education; and greater emphasis has been on farm and home placement involving government grants and old land-deeds.

INTRODUCTION

Our New World Heritage

In the middle 18th century, the power of France in America was definiteJy broken. Britain, directed, assisted, and impelled by her New England colonies had taken in succession, Fort Beausejour in 1755, commanding the inland waters of Acadia at Chignecto and the trade route to Quebec, the great Fortress of Louisbourg in Cape Breton in 1758 and finally Quebec itself in 1759. In addition, in 1755, she had insured herself against further trouble from the Acadians - French settlers established through 80 years in Annapolis, Cobequid and Chignecto,-by confiscat­ ing their property and driving them from the land. Further, and a bit earlier, in deference especially to New England's fear of French inter­ ference with trading in local sea areas, she had in 1749-50 as a government project, cleared away the forest, and built and fortified a city, naming it Halifax. This was to be the focus for ocean trade, a mi I itary headquarters, and a center of government for the new Nova Scotia.* Since the captuie of Port Royal, and the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, mainland Nova Scotia had been acknowledged as British Territory. But Britain in all these years had never been active in colonizing in the peninsula. France by contrast, ably supported by Catholic Orders, had been aggressive in es tab I ish ing co Ion ies in the fertile areas, making friends and converts of the native Indians, and maintaining interest and helpful contacts. The colonists well chosen, largely from the peasantry of West France, responded wel I, adapting themselves agriculturally to the new situation developed their vii lages near the rivers, and made use of meadows and marshes and chosen up Iands. As usually with pioneer communities, they·increased rapidly in numbers. At the time of expulsion, there were perhaps 5,000 living in the well-watered areas, Annapolis, Cobequid and Chigriecto. In Chignecto with whose later settlers we are chiefly concerned, there were in 1754 close to a thousand persons distributed as fol lows, (places arranged from S. To N.): River Hebert 122; Minudie 169; Maccan 86; Nappan 142; Les Planches (Amherst) 59; Beaubassin (Fort Laurence) 190; La Butte (Pt. de Bute) 86; Westcock {Sackville) 115; (Selected from figures shown in Will Bird I s - A Century of Ch ignecto, P. 81, Ryerson Press). Our purpose in presenting the Acadians, is not to discuss the causes of their dismissal, or to picture in detai I their way of I ife. It is rather to show that our own ancestors did not come to a who 11 y new land untouched by civi I ized man, but that farms had been cu I tivated, houses and barns built, cattle, sheep and poultry raised, trade carried on with New England, and - yes - surely, churches and village sociability flourished - and especially that marshlands had been wrested from the tides by the bui Iding of dykes and ab iteaux, the undisturbed core of some of which remained 220 years while our own marsh owners have built other dykes further out, to add to their acreage. Again from Will R. Bird ibid p. 40. "In 1735 an experienced government engineer came from France to Beaubassin, and instructed ·the people in better means of dyking the marshes. Under his direction, great areas were reclaimed from the sea at Minoudie and Nappan. This Engineer named Gould, settled at Nappan, and with his son Francois, cleared a home in the forest." On the debit side the Acadians living on British soil had 1) refused repeatedly, to sign the oath of allegiance, which would in case of war, require them to fight against France, and 2) certain priests - not of the peoples choosing of course, but to whom they looked for guidance - incited the Indians to violence against the British. The cruel expulsion which was carried through in Annapolis and Cobequid by total capture in their churches and their distribution along the Atlantic seaboard, in Chignecto was only portly successful. The rest with their homes destroyed escaped deep into N.B. forests. Some of these soon found their way back, and taking the oath of allegiance, slowly re-established settlement, but not in their former homes or areas.

A Question affecting our work: How far its duties include keeping old records of early land transfers already registered with the township or county?

9 The whole episode seems to have worried their successors - our ancestors - settling on their lands, very Ii ttle. The Acadians I losses were the newcomers gains, as spoils of war. The continu­ ing skills however, that the returning losers still retained, were appreciated, paid for, and put to use. New Acadian settlements slow I y appeared in N. B. and Minudie. Just now after 200 years they are rather suddenly experiencing an advance in education, political consciousness, and status.

Free Land as Popu Iat ion Sti mu Ius With France and the French thus disposed of, and 3 forts and mastery of the sea to the good, but practically no population, Nova Scotia was now safe for settlement, and Gov. Lawrence so proclaimed it, looking especially to Great Britain and New England for settlers. The response from Britain however, was slow because l} The sense of insecurity resulting from decades of war and pillage, including scalping by incited Indians, was strong, and no treaty of peace had yet been signed; 2) and secondly their potential settlers were mostly poor and incapable of organizing and financing such a step. New Englanders on the contrary, living closer at hand, and knowing the realities of the situation, especially the prizes to be won through being first on the ground, came forward quickly. Many of them had participated in the fighting - some of them as officers. Others were well-to-do persons, ready to speculate. The result was that for a decade after the fall of Beausejour and years after that of Quebec, the new popuiation of N.S. - apart from Halifax - was largely from New England, and colonies farther South. One interesting exception, is to be recorded. It resulted in a ship load from Ireland, arranged and financed by a speculator, which however went to Cobequid and thus effected Chignecto very little. But considering the longer period covering the years 1755 - 1800, immigration has been presented as follows: l) The pre-loyalist Colonials 1755-75; 2) The Ulster Irish 1761-; 3) The Yorkshire farmers and artisans 1772-76; 4) The United Empire Loyalists 1782-92. The government I s main remedy for slow population increase was the free land grant,an offer accompanied sometimes by gifts of basic tools, seeds, etc. As affecting the majority of applicants, these gifts were standardized and alike to all, but increased with numbers in the family. But for high governmental service as in war, much larger grants were handed out as also to wealthy men of prestige, ready to invest as a speculation.

Our study is in the first place a genealogy: a presentation of descent through successive generations of a family as it expands through choice of marriage partners and bringing up of children. Furthermore, it is of a type comprehensive in scope, aiming to include all branches of each generation and leaving out no person born of the blood and -surviving infancy. And it in­ cludes of course the new marital partner, drawn from the outside and refered to as "spouse II or 11 import 11 whether male or female. 11 11 This part of the work - the true genealogy or Tree - is presented in the Tabular display of names. pp57 showing each person in place in his own generation and family. For most people however, their relatives are interesting not only for knowing their names and position on the family tree as a means for tracing descent, or for establishing relations among them, but quite as much for learning something about them. What about this Wm. Black or Elizabeth White, shown on P. X under Generation Y. They would like to know: What each did with his life, where was he born, and brought up, what education did he acquire, what occupa­ tion did he choose, what other interests had he outside the storekeeping, or farming, or teaching? i.e. What sort of person was he? It is in attempting to answer questions like these, that we have made visits to people within range, and mailed out questionaires to others, and filled in for those past and gone. The resu Its make up a large part of the volume in hand. The result is as good as the information collected, and our ability to present it. Incidental to this second phase, there is experienced as a by-product, a revelation of technological and institutional change. George's I ife we see made over by the coming of the railway; his sister's and his mother's and his aunt's, by the introduction of the public school. We need scarcely add that we believe in the social worth of this kind of history: drawn from close-in: our subject, the individual in his family, the family in the larger family, and the march of the generations. I0 BOOK 1 The Logan Family: A Tree Takes Root

Generation l: The Pioneers ·

HUGH LOGAN arrived in Amherst Nova Scotia in 1761. He came from County Antrim, Ireland, N. W. of Belfast, (exact locality undetermined) and he thus belongs in the category Ulster Irish, which suggests he was of earlier Scottish descent and Protestant. He was 11 years old, and was accompanied by his mother - a widow whose deceased husband also had carried the name Hugh. (Howard Trueman, The Chignecto Isthmus and Its First Settlers, Toronto, William Briggs, 1902 P. 195). They were among the first British settlers to honor the invitation of Governor Lawrence. The Amherst that Hugh and Mother came to was politically a township covering the land area of the present city, and reaching Northward to the La Planche River, South Westerly to include Amherst Po int, Nappan, Mac can, River Hebert, and their marsh lands, and South Eastward toward North­ umberlcmd Strait. Practical Iy however, with its Acadians only recent! y expel led, its popu lotion, mostly New Englanders and Irish, and not too permanently settled - it occupied only the area from Etter's Brook, down through West Amherst and Amherst Point. In 1767 the whole township contained only 140 people. (Cumberland Township covering the area between the La Planche and Missiquash Rivers, and Sackville Township lying beyond and N. West, were both more populous, and pre­ dominant! y from New England.) Of the manner of Hugh 1 s and his mother's coming, we know nothing, and little more with certainty about their activities and way of life for some time thereafter. Tradition assures us however, that they had their home in Amherst Point, North of Layton's Lake just East of the Baptist Church of later days, and this with adjoining land and gypsum rock pot holes and glens, has been styled 11 The Old Logan Homestead. 11 That th is tradition is substantially true of later years is beyond doubt. But when and how they came into possession is not so clear. One writer 1) decides 11 Hugh undoubtedly bought it 11 (Pearl Atkins); another 2) believed that Hugh being the son of an earlier Hugh who was one of the 2000 soldiers who worked under Colonel Cornwallis in 1749-50 in the building of Halifax, fell heir to the grant of land and accessories that had come to his father, as promised to all these workers; (or perhaps we suggest to the widow as guardian until Hugh came of age). (Trueman) Th is explanation is grounded in tradition. That Hugh and mother did have land early is supported by the fact that the name of neither appears on the long Iist of names in the Saunders application for land grant 1765 and registered 1772, many of them being names well known later in West Amherst and Amherst Pt. A feature in Hugh's activity as a young man suggestive of his interests and perhaps his financial condition was his being the first in Amherst to own and drive a light carriage called in those days a chaise or whisky. Another when he married a girl of pioneer stock named Margaret Dickey. She was the daughter of Matthew Dickey a linen merchant from Londonderry Ireland and his wife Janet Nesbitt. One of her cousins was Robert McGowan Dickey a magistrate who represented first Amherst and later Cumberland County in the N. S. Assembly. In later years she was also the Aunt of Robert B. Dickey, lawyer and statesman, who became one of the fathers of Confederation and a Dominion Senator. Her own life - much of it lived in the log house in Salem - gives the impression of the steady and competent pioneer. She was one of the earliest members of the Iittle group forming Amherst Baptist Church, the bearer of many children, and successful in bringing them to maturity. What a story she could have left to posterity had she written a personal diary! But to our knowledge there isn I t a word surviving. · Another feature of Hugh's ambition for himself and his sons was ownership of a sufficiency of land. And he sought it in what seemed promising areas and with proper proportioning of types - Marsh and uplands and forest (wilderness). While as a youth he made no effective application for

II a share in the Saunders Grant in 1765. In 1791, for 30 pounds, he bought 2 shares (l 000 acres) of that same land in Salem from one Wm. Nesbitt which had been original shares granted to one John Campbell and his son Francis. Later, in 1821, with 6 sons concerned; and the youngest just reached maturity he applied for more land, and it was granted. This brought the bloci< of land in West Amherst and Amherst Point on the South side of the road, extending l 3/4 miles between Crawford Hill side road and Logans Creek where it meets the road after the turn to Nappan (see cover map). Other instances there are of his practice in applying for and selling, but the above are the ones significant to our history. Immediately after the Salem purchase, Hugh with his wife and 5 children left the Old Homestead with its beauty and somewhat settled community at the Point, and took up life in the higher timberland, 12 miles to the South East. Why the change? No answer is given. One likely reason: The great intake of United Empire Loyalists. These unlucky people were deprived of their fixed property, their status, and for a time their liberty in the revolting colonies toward the close of the American Revolution; but now were compensated by Britain for their loyalty, and welcomed as citizens in N. S. as elsewhere - in Canada. lhey applied in great numbers for land grants in Wallace and Westchester for instance, and over the whole colony their 10,000 souls more than doubled the population. Hugh's choice of land was in an area likely to benefit from this and in the future also from the opening up of roads and particularly a through - way from Truro through River Phillip to Amherst. The purchase was followed not only by building and clearing, but soon in dividing the whole area into lots of large acreage for the various sons. In the course of events and requirements, a measure of division of labour among them appeared. involving personal preparation therefor among the sons. With these two grants, the one in Salem the other in Amherst Point, and the surveying and pricing and parce 11 ing among the sons of the second generation, we can appreciate the business and work-a-day life of these our relatives. Hugh himself seems never to have returned to the Point but spent his life in Salem. That Hugh was alive to the business opportunities of his time is evident from the record, and he doubtless benefited from his contact through marriage with the well educated Dickeys. Many of his later years were spent in illness - said to have been associated with Cancer of one eye. He died Aug. 31, 1832, and was buried in W. Amherst Cemetery, his wife Margaret Dickey at his side. In his obituary found in the 11 Nova ~cotian" in Halifax Archives are the following words: 11 During a long life he was the avowed enemy of tyranny both in Church and State, If acceptance to his maker depended on what is denominated honesty or moral worth, few could have put a better claim. But knowing that he had to do with one who is just as well as merciful, and being sensible that he had to come far short of the requirements of the divine law, he rejoiced that Divine Clemency had provided a Saviour in whose merits he was enabled to trust and by so trusting he met death with a fortitude and composure seldom exceeded in that trying hour. 11

THE OLD HOMESTEAD 12 BOOK l (cont'd) Generation II: Settlement.

With Hugh and his wife Margaret Dickey introduced, it is in order to present their children - our second generation. Here they stand complete in Frontispiece, eleven strong- but since we have no knowledge about 3 of them - reduced to 8 - 7 sons and one daughter in table l page 17 for purpose of our examination. Unfortunately, we have little correspondence in the form of friendly letters or description of events, sickness or gossip that might have come down to us by which we could know their humours, troubles, likes and dislikes, their interests, ambitions, discouragements. We do know though that most of them I ived to a good old age, and there are the records of serious intentions propertywise, as found in wills, and land deeds; some, but not all, reveal themselves through prominence in church activities, trade relations, houses they lived in, land they cleared, and one photograph - that of land-surveyor Thomas and wife, treasured by his everyoung granddaughter Laura. Finally there are the graveyards with their limited but usually reliable records, provided they can be redeemed from the ravages of moss and decay.

II MATTHEW {Tab. Ref. p 17) We start with Matthew. He was a boy of 8 years when his parents moved to Salem and presumably he went with them. He was an early recipient of his share of the new land in the apportioning in Salem, and is credited with making lasting clearings on his portion; but sometime, date unknown, he returned to the old Amherst Point Homestead, and either then or a little later took over the leadership. A Church map of Cumberland, produced apparently in the early 1870 1 s shows him there as family .,ead, and a Yorkshire immigrant girl, later to be­ come a wel I-known citizen of West Amherst, speaks of working there in his employ, probably 30 years earlier. Pr.esumably he continued it thus for many years, assisted by his nephew Jos. Archi­ bald Logan, and upon the latter's marriage about 1866, he turned it over to him. In 1877 they so Id it to James Layton, and thereafter he Iived with his brother Thomas and son, the latter the Sheriff of Cumberland. In addition to farming he was a ski I led tradesman as shown by his having played the role of journeyman teacher in an indenture involving his youngest brother David as apprentice and his father as parent guardian. He may well have played a prominent role in building the large frame houses erected for the family in Amherst Point and Salem, and as shown below(p.15), his name is coupled with that of David in a big transfer of land from their father, one parcel of which was to be held in moiety. At this time (1826) Matthew would be 43, David 27. A hard working useful man, he never married. He was buried in the West Amherst Cemetery.

Of Isaac, the second son, we know little. In 1810he married Esther Barnhill, daughter of John and grand daughter of Robert Barnhill, who emigrated from Donegal N. Ireland on the ship Hopewel I, sponsored by Col. Mc Nutt, and arrived in Halifax in 1761. They settled in Onslow where after 24 years Esther died without issue. Later Isaac married again, Martha a widow, a daughter of David Archibald and Esther Cox. Isaac died 1872. ll HUGH II (Tab. Ref. 17) by contrast, became a central figure in the entire Logan establishment. Domestically, he settled with his parents in Salem and directed the clearing of land, improvement of the farm, and erection of a new house. An unnamed correspondent writing in the press many years later on the occasion of the death of his youngest son Hugh 111, tel Is how Hugh II around 1809-10, together with four other young settlers whose farms covered 2 1/2 miles along the bridle path, hewed out their homes and turned the foot-path to a wagon road - these were Thomas and William Black, Clavin Bent and Samuel Embree. Early in life he married Elizabeth Archibald, cultured daughter of James Archibald and Rebecca Barnhill, and grand daughter of Samuel Archibald, immigrant to Truro from Londonderry in 1762. Elizabeth later was to have a nephew of her blood - Sir Adams Archibald. - already Lt. Gov. of Nova Scotia, chosen as Lt. Governor of the new Province of Manitoba, at the difficult time of the Riel rebellion, 1870. (See Canada, A Visual History D.G.G. Kerr and R.L.K. Davidson). It is recorded on probable good authority,

13 that after the wedding in Truro, the bride and groom rode on horseback to the Salem home. A further story tel Is of a second ride to a 300 - acre woodlot belonging to Hugh on the Mapleton Hills, in what is now Lynn at the Cumberland-Colchester border. The lot was one of many in­ cluded in a grant of land to a group of yeomen of Amherst township, whose names subsequent! y became well-known Amherst citizens. The second honeymoon seems to have included a business purpose - that of assessing and making this a permanent home. This, however, was scotched by Elizabeth who decided it was too lonely. They returned to Salem and to the steady demands of a farm in process of clearing and improvement. They raised a family of six children, four boys and two girls, and subsequently through them became grand and great-grandparents to a numerous progeny. The log house in which Generation II was raised by Margaret Dickey and Hugh I, gave way in 1828 to the first frame house in Salem, as the center of home operations for Elizabeth Archibald. But the "dear and lovely Elizabeth" as described by Mrs. Wm. James, in a letter to Lucy F. Logan, did not pioneer alone, as had Margaret Dickey. The latter with her husband and probably their younger sons and daughter, were sti 11 based on the Salem homestead, and in greater or less degree, were living under the same roof. Hugh, by virtue of his marriage and placement in his work, for a ti me drew the attention of a section of the Logan Fami Iy eastward to hardwood and some association with River Philip and beyond and away from Amherst Point and tidewater. Con­ tributing to th is were the improvement of through-ways, and the coming of the stage coach, which established quicker contact between Chignecto and Halifax. Hugh died in 1863, being survived by his wife for 18 years. They lie buried in West Amherst cemetery in the same plot as Hugh I and Margaret Dickey.

II THOMAS (Tab. Ref. 17) 1793 - 1875, was the first child to be born in the log house in Salem. He rose to become a competent and wel I-regarded citizen of the young Amherst community he helped to build. A factor in bringing this about was his acquiring in early life the art of land surveying, which in the circumstances of the time, was not only a very important craft, but brought him into contact with people, andmadehimpossessorof a most important type of knowledge. He was Crown Land surveyor of Cumberland for over 30 years. In po Ii tics a Libera I, he served a term in the Nova Scotia Legislature. After marriage he opened a general store; likewise he became proprietor of a blacksmith shop. Another mark of distinction - perhaps tributary to the surveying, was the bestowal on him of the office of Justice of the Peace. His farm acres of upland and ad­ joining marsh, with home established in happy relation to a large unfailing creek, was situated at the far end of Amherst Po int, just beyond where the road turns southward toward Nappan. The land came into his possession as a part of the 2nd grant, 1821. It was good in terms of proximity to its drained marshland, flowing creek, and also its position with respect to human contacts. The growing settlement on Coates Hill, on the road to Nappan, was less than a mile distant; and more important, Minudie, scene of the remarkable semi-fuedal experiment of Amos (King) Seaman, and destined to become a ship-building centre, was just across the basin, within easy communication by boat or ferry. This provided association with a way of life and outlook, that affected this branch of the family at the time and for subsequent generations, causing it to move in contrast to the forest-dominated struggle and solitude of the Salem branch. At an early age Thomas was named a trustee for the Presbyterian interest in the inter-faith agreement among the denominations in the use of the new Baptist Church building, then (1819) in the process of construction, to which various persons other than Baptists made financial subscrip­ tions. (One Hundred Years With the Baptists of Amherst P. 36). Thomas I s wife, Elizabeth Bent, was the daughter of John and f\,l\ary Bent of Amherst. Her father was from Massachusetts. Her mother, Mary Laut, came from Eastport, Maine. They were thus pre-Loyalists from New England; coming before the break away of the Colonies. Their home was on the present East Victoria Street, and Elizabeth was one of 10 children all born in Amherst. Thomas and Elizabeth lie buried in West Amherst. The inscription affectionately worded shows she predeceased h-i m by 7 years.

II WILLIAM (Tab. Ref. 17) appears to have occupied the land lying immediately East of that support­ ing the old Amherst Point Homestead, which in the next century was to be the farm of Rufus and Mary Copeland. The deed carrying the boundaries and dimensions, and 400 pound price, is dated 14 1824. It was therefore another section of the Crawford Hi 11 to Logan Creek Grant. Although a farmer, and still an owner of forest land in the Salem area, his chief interest lay rather in religion, and the promotion and practice of worship. With his wife Margaret Donkin, and probably his mother Margaret Logan, he was with the small group of Baptists that developed the Amherst Baptist church early in the century, and in 1841 along with the Reverend Charles Tupper as minister, and two other church members, constituted a committee to collect and advertize the activities and accomplishments of the church since its founding 32 years earlier. (lb id P. 14) For many years he was preceptor in the church services, and in due course became clerk and recorded the brief minutes in 11 a small cramped hand". An entry in 1851 shows him volunteering at a small salary to act as colporteur in distrubuting through the country certain "good literature" much needed among the people. The offer was taken up, and thereupon certain brethern "whose names were written down" engaged to sustain him for four months. (Ibid P. 18). Presumably this wou Id be done on horseback. His purposefu I and serviceable attitude in the cause of church and temperance, bound him in close relation with other families likewise motivated viz: the Freemans, Denkins, Tuppers, Blacks, etc. He died at 83 years, preceded two years by Margaret, his wife. They left no children. They were buried in West Amherst cemetery.

II JAMES (Tab. Ref. 17) 1797 - 1.875 the son of Hugh and Margaret Dickey, has few descendants in recent generations, but he seems to have been an active figure in the work-a-day business life of the Salem family, and a participant in its co-operative effort in the dividing up and settlement of the land grant. His name along with that of his younger brother appears frequently as a witness at the signing of land deeds; which leads us to believe they both may have worked with Thomas on his surveys. His land dealings with his father on personal account, as indicated above P. suggests a loss of enthusiasm for the forest prospect. However that may be, James eventually sold his Salem holding, with apparently no profit to himself, and settled in West Amherst on the East section of the grant there viz: on the South side of the road, and immediately West of the Crawford Hi 11 Side-road, and containing what is now the house of Walter Newcombe. Subsequently he sold 2 shallow frontage lots from th is to Robert and Wm. Barry, but al I trace of the homes of these (if ever erected) has disappeared. The English family of Wm. Hughes established a home there about during 1890 - 1910. But James himself, and his descendants chose the higher ground, far back on the hill overlooking the low lands of Upper Nappan. He does not seem to have prospered in maturity equally with his brothers, nor have we discovered activities comparable to those of his youth. His trade dealings with his nephew John Logan, suggest low purchasing power. When 33 he married Rebecca Cumming, youngest of the Cumming sisters. They had 6 children who all reached maturity, but 4 of whom died before 50. Their names: Rebecca, Jenifer, Clarence, George F., Matthew, and Rupert . (See P . a Iso Box ) .

II David Dickey (p17) b. 1799 youngest son of Hugh I and Margaret Dickey grew up in Salem; lived his early years in the log house, then had a boy's access to brother Hugh 1 s new bigger frame one; helped with building and farming and worked with brother Thomas on surveys. In keeping with changing times was apprenticed in carpentering to oldest brother who earlier pro­ bably learned the trade from a Yorkshire or Irish immigrant. This doubtless assisted him later in having a big house of his own comparable to that of Thomas. It remained in use in the family till 1965 when it burned (as had Thomas' earlier). Their farms though facing differently where the road sweeps round a curve toward Nappan were in contact. David I s land was closer to town reaching to the Old Homestead. David's apprenticeship relations with Matthew are reflected in the 1824 deed of land from his father (more generous than to the others) transferring his share of the 1821 government grant and naming Matthew as co-recipient. David gives the impression of one with social and community interests, and respected there - for. In an article "History of St. Stephen's Church II in Amherst News and Sentinel Feb. 11, 1930 by Rev.

II RE~ECCA (Tab. Ref. 17) the only daughter met with in our research in that Forest home of 8 children, was the youngest of the family. Born in 1801, when her mother was past 40, she was nurtured in Salem, and was a middle teen-ager when her brother Hugh brought Elizabeth Archibald home as his bride, and the log house gave place to the new frame one. Doubtless Elizabeth was a factor in her education, as wel I as her mother. Contacts with Amherst were improving now, and her brothers and mother, and doubtless she also, making use of them for their various purposes. Churchwise the family was dividing between Baptist and Presbyterian. In 1832, when turned 30, Rebecca married Jas. Bliss, son of Nathaniel Bliss and Margaret Forest of Amherst, spoken of later as the o Id Magistrate, but now a farmer some years younger than herself. They are believed to have lived part of their life on 11 Bliss 1 es Island", an islet of upland arising out of the marsh out near the dyke, Westward from Amherst Point and facirg Minudie, but since then partially washed away by the tides. Rebecca and her husband were both Presbyterians. James is mentioned as associated with Thomas in arranging the disposal of Church property. In maturity he served as Justice of the Peace, a Commissioner of the Supreme Court, and Register of the Court of Probate. As for Rebecca, we have little to indicate her personality, interests, and quality. From a single letter written by Mrs. Wm. James, a grand daughter of Thomas, to Lucy Fowler Logan, we read 1) "She was a great presbyterian", and was believed "never to have left the old 11 Kirk 11 (to join the reformed Church), and 2) How she mourned 11 silently 11 and "bravely", at the loss of her son Clifford, who at 25 "went 11 away and never was heard of again • Further remarks suggest she was rather broken by th is and other circumstances in her last years. She is buried in Highland View Cemetery, Amherst, in plot of Hiram Pugsley, who married her daughter. Children of James and Rebecca were 5; their names: Sara J; Mary A; Margaret Augusta; J. Clifford; Isaac L.

17 BOOK 11 Progeny of Hugh 11 and EI izabeth Arch iba Id Generation 111

The major decision of Hugh I in 1791 to plant his heirs firmly on generous estates of land cleared of forest was destined to defeat at the hands of the majority of Generation 111 quite as firmly as by their parents. With the exception of one son the six children of 'Hugh II and Elizabeth Archibald took their leave on reaching maturity or as soon as opportunity offered. First to go was JOHN (p.5¥) eldest son who in 1840, still scarcely 21, chose West Amherst, and a farm with clear view of the ebb and flow of the Cumberland Basin tides. After some years on his Salem acreage Isaac the second son took the same trai I and settled on a farm a mi le farther S. W. on the same road, and looking to the same marsh and waters as his brother. When James went to Matthew on the old Homestead at the Point it left only Hugh working with his father in operating the big Salem farm with a view to taking over in his own name in due course. And so it was to be: the transfer of title taking place according to terms of a will dated 1859, or 19 years after the de­ parture of John. Young John, honest, thrifty, competent and shrewd, knew how to make use of his opportun­ ities. There was cleared land to be had and more stil I to clear. There were marshes to ditch and more to claim from the tides. There were fish too in the waters. His effort came to embrace them all and to find markets for their products. There was a social situation developing too, that suggested an opportunity for the man with the grace and the confidence to measure up to it. The well established Anthony Fillmore family with the husband ailing and a daughter of 16 years, was in difficulty meeting the many requirem~nts of their farm centrally located on the north side of the road running through West Amherst toward the Po int and Nappan. John examined the situation and was pleased with the prospect. He offered his services and gave himself thoroughly to the work and the planning. Soon he had established a proprietary relation; then wooed and married Antoinette the daughter, and became one of the tam i I y. They had four dough ters. Unfortunate Iy, ten years after marriage Antoinette died when only 28. Concerning genealogy, Antoinetf'e's father's people were of Lancashire stock. But coming to Nova Scotia in 1763 by way of New England and settling as farmers in Jolicure and in Amherst, the Fi II mores were thus pre-Loyalists. Antoinette I s mother was Charlotte Donkin, sister of Margaret, wife of William Logan. Charlotte's mother was a Crawford, one of Chignecto's first pioneers.. Charlotte was a good business Woman and a worker. For many years she continued to co­ operate with her son-inlaw John, in handling the dairy products which were an important phase of his farm operations, making the cheese and butter which he in turn marketed. Regular accounts were kept between them. In l 846 for 10 pounds she deeded him a strip of land contain­ ing 17 acres along the Fillmore-Robert Keillor line and reaching from the road to the marsh, a transaction intended perhaps to integrate under his name what was already a part of the farm operationa 11 y. After four years a widower John married Jane Sharp, daughter of Wi 11 iam Sharp, we II-to-do farmer of Lower Maccan and a member of a large family of sisters and brothers. Her mother was Jane Metcalfe of Yorkshire lineage, and the union on both counts tied him and his subsequent progeny in with a growing population of relatives. Along with her other accomplishments Jane brought him another 10 acres of good marsh situated across the River Maccan from her father's home, but unfortunately 3 long miles from that of John, a common failing of immovable acquisitions coming through marriage. Th is marriage I ike his first resu Ited in 4 children but consisting th is time of three sons and one daughter. All eight children of the two marriages lived to maturity. John spent his whole life as a farmer on the land he had chosen at twenty. He was a fair sample of the mid-nineteenth century individualist living off the land. His chief cash products were hay, cheese, butter, seed grain and shad; but for home and farm consumption vegetables and coarse grains; oats, barley, and buck-wheat. His markets were local, many transactions taking place at his own door. But the times were good, for these were the grand days of Nova Scotia's wooden ship-building industry and trading to all parts of the world. 18 He was a strong man physically, at a time when strength and sleight-of-hand were v.ital. He took the lead scythe himself in the mowing, thus setting the pace for the field. He worked on the dykes himself as well as employing others. He tended his own shad nets. He yoked and guided his oxen. He and his family milked the cows, and cut and brought home the winter fuel before coal or oil were at hand. The record of all this still stands, in so far as it concerns trade and pricing, in an old day book covering a period roughly from 1840 to 1860. It is written in a slant, angular hand with careless concern for legibility or finish - apparently for home comsumption. But it tells us more about the practical way of life of the people of Amherst township than any other conveyance we have discovered. Some of the trade transactions were with his own brothers and uncles. He was a financial success as measured by his land and other possessions. He put money out at interest and knew when interest was due; he had a habit of paying a call on his debtor in case he might forget; a contract was a contract and required fulfillment to the very last cent; and re Iati ves as we 11 as others were subject to such attentions. Converse Iy he was equal Iy concerned with paying his every debt. He was not a man of much formal education but he was as inveterate reader. The Free School system with its town academy and one-room schoolhouses in the country had not come to Nova Scotia in his youth, but were there for his children, and he had his enthusiasm and his criticism as to their use and possibi I ities. The story comes down to later generations how debates were held in the Amherst Pt. schoolhouse on questions of the day with John leading one side or the other. A question he would put to his grandsons was 11 Have you learned to cypher yet?" Some time in his late middle life his hearing became impaired and being thus cut off from much of the normal cur­ rency of conversation he became more dependent on reading. One remembers him in his armchair with his Toronto Globe, sometimes with the Montreal Witness, more briefly with the Amherst paper. With the Post Office 2 miles away he would harness the "broncho" and with lash whip doing duty as a starter set out for town to get the papers. A I iberal, a Baptist, a man of principle and farming as a way of I ife; such was John. He asked son Amos to have a grandson named GI adstone, and again he offered to help finance two grandsons in college if they would promise to stay with the farming. He died at 81, and was buried in Amherst.

Ill ISAAC (Tab. Ref. 58} The other sons of Hugh II can be presented more briefly. Like John they were al I destined eventually to become hay, grain and cattle farmers, subject to the same problems of cultivation, harvest, weather and market in what was still largely a pre-power machine age. Less fortunate than he, however, were Isaac and James in their start in that they lacked capital and failed to marry into situations where it could be commanded. Issac, furthermore, for a period of years attempted to fulfi 11 his grandfather I s expectation of setting up his own farm and lumber unit in Salem. Having bu.ilt a house on his own inherited section we find him in 1851 - the prob­ able year of his marriage buying from John and Antoinette 156 additional acres (apparently John I s inherited share) for the sum of 50 pounds; and again in 1859 further extending his holding by buy­ ing from his father 27 acres of land lying close to his house for a price of 35 pounds; and spaced in time between these two purchases he sold to a neighbour, William Doncaster, for 30 pounds a strip of land lying across the Leicester road on the south side. Thus he sought to acquire and shape up a sufficient and satisfactory working unit in the forest country. (Trading and shaping in this manner was typical among and within families in these times.) For the above transactions see Amherst Registry of Deeds Book W. p. 273, book dd. 26, and book Z p. 85., The change took place about 1860, and the health of family members as much as economic reasons may have required it. The new home chosen was at Amherst Pt. l mi le further south-west toward Nappan than John I s place and on the same side of the road looking toward Minudie and tidewater, with upland shading off into marsh. (See map). So here again the claims of cleared upland and marsh and tide-water won the day. But arrival in the new land did not bring prosperity comparable with that of John. His acreage was less, his buildings smaller. With vigorous youth gone he was not as aggressive in increasing income through developing side-lines, and playing the merchant role himself. He was already a family man but with a shortage of masculine labour. A quiet, steady man, tall in stature and an excellent citizen, he did not in the circumstances display equal qualities as an aggressive pioneer farmer. 19 His marriage to Hannah Bent, daughter of Vose Bent, a farmer in Fort Lawrence, was cut short by her death at 42 years of age, leaving him a widower with one son and two daughters of whom the son Arthur died of pneumonia when only 20 years old. This meant two severe economic losses in succession as well as mental deprivation to those remaining. The second wife - the almost inevitable corrective for the widowed farmer condition in those days, was found in the person of Margaret Cahill, mild soft-voiced daughter of Charles Cahill and Margaret Mcinerney of Sackville. Her impress upon her descendants is visible and distinctive shown in .concern for sociability, conversational competence, and laudable business ambition for her off- spring. Born to her and Isaac at Amherst Pt. were l dough ter and 3 sons, a 11 of whom Ii ved through middle life and gave a good account of themselves as citizens - their names were Mary, Charles T., Bliss, and Fred. lThe Cahills were ship-owners in England. Margaret's grandfather John R. Cahill 1777-1852 came as super cargo in his father's ship, became a school-teacher, married a Miss Delesdernier (sister of Mrs. Uniache) and settled in Sackville as a farmer.)

Ill JAMES (Tab. Ref 58) James Archibald Logan 1825 - 1898 grew up in Salem. Some time in early maturity he went to Amherst Point and assisted his Uncle Matthew in farming the many acres of the old home estate on the Lake. Somewhere about 1860 he married Hannah Hunter daughter of Hance Hunter and to them a daughter Lucy and a son Hance were born. Shortly after the birth of Hance - perhaps at the coming of James Layton as purchaser - he left the homestead and took up farming on his own in Linden where he continued for the rest of his life. He was a quiet easy-going man and rather slight of stature as compared with his large­ boned more strenuous brothers and challengingly venturesome son. His house now unoccupied, and empty barn may be seen at the cross-roads opposite the vi I loge garage in Linden.

Ill HUGH Ill (Tab. Ref. 58) Hugh Logan Ill was the youngest of the four sons of Hugh and Elizabeth Archibald. He spent his whole life farming in Salem working at first with his father, but in 1859 succeeding to the proprietorship and accepting the responsibilities to others associated therewith. The deed of transfer in Apri I of that year describes a '1omestead of 126 acres plus wilderness 75 acres plus marsh l 0 acres,but required payment of l 00 pounds to unmarried sister Margaret and 10 pounds annually to the mother Elizabeth. Further. it reserved to Hugh Senior and Elizabeth as long as they lived half of the house, eel lar and garden, one cow with feed and a stal I in winter. In the same year he bought from his brother-in-law James Layton and his sister Rebecca for 50 pounds one hundred acres of wilderness across the road from the homestead and four acres of marsh elsewhere situated. Seven years later a plan of his farm drawn by his uncle-surveyor Thomas, discloses a block of land of 205 acres, in form approximately a square with its entire front border­ ing the road from Amherst to River Philip. In 1871 he bought his uncle James Logan's holding of 100 acres which lay immediately to the north of his own, and again in 1877 added to his marsh by purchasing 20 acres more for $500. 00. These figures are interesting for showing comparative prices as wel I as the bui Id-up of an estate. Hugh Ill was a stout and strong man, a steady worker and serious in his approach to social living. He rated high among the farmers of his time. He was a religious man, a Baptist deacon in a growing period of that church and played a part in providing new houses of worship in Salem and Amherst Pt. as branches of the Amherst Church. He married Annie Layton daughter of Jacob Layton of Stewiacke and grandaughter of Francis Layton II of Great Vi I lage who came as a babe from Yorkshire in 1774 and his wife Abigail Stevens a religious leader in Great Village. This relationship, togetherwithAnnie being a niece of James Layton;who we shall see had earlier married Hugh's sister Rebecca, suggests a close relation based on a religious interest among the members of th is group. The early death of the capable and beloved Annie at 34 after bearing 3 children was a severe blow to Hugh, as it had been to each of his brothers, John and Isaac. He married again after some years, the refined and well-intentioned Harriet Archibald of

20 Musquodoboit. But the warmth and work-a-day balance of the earlier home with its face to the future was hard to rebui Id.

111 REBECCA (Tab. Ref. 60) Rebecca a steady, strong, even tempered person the oldest of her gen­ eration remained at home for some years after the departure of John. As girl and young woman in a family of two generations so helplessly masculine, her presence and services were undoubtedly appreciated, if not sumptuously paid. Her rescue came with the appearance of James Layten son of Fransi s I! of Great Vi I Iage (Co Ichester County) and Ab iga i I Stevens Layton, a man of many parts; farmer, blacksmith, thinker; but most of all distinguished for a solid religious faith held and declared throughout his who le mature I ife. Together they took up farming on the Gourlay farm in Brookdale, and the raising of their family of four; two girls and two boys. But about 1870 they changed to Church Street Amherst. Then in 1877 for reasons not disclosed they saw fit to make another change. Appropriately it was to the old Logan home that they came, where Hugh I and his mother had first es tab I ished themselves and to which Hugh I had taken Margaret Dickey before his capture by the idea of land value increase sparked by the sudden in pouring of population, resulting from the American Revolution. The choice in fact was doubly appropriate: not only must it have appealed to the sentiments of Rebecca to live where her grandmother and great grandmother had Iived long before but it must have stirred deep I y the satisfaction of James; for here across a narrow field and on the edge of the beautiful glen stood the wooden church of his faith. To it and its people most of whom he already knew he was destined to serve for the most of his remaining years as deacon and caretaker. There Rebecca died in 1900 at age 81, but James accompanied his son Fred and family when they traveled to British Columbia after the sale of the homestead in 1908. (As indicated above (Page 13) the place had been run for a time by Matthew, at first probably in company with his grandmother Logan but more recently had been turned over to James Logan his Nephew after the latter I s marriage.) Thereafter he returned to Amherst where he Ii ved un ti I 1 91 2.

111 MARGARET (Tab. Ref.60) Margaret Logan youngest child of Hugh II and Elizabeth Archibald was born in Salem 1830 and presumably brought up there. Little is known about her. There is the reference in her father's will whereby she was to receive 100 pounds from Hugh Ill upon his becoming proprietor of the farm. Somewhat late she married Charles L. Cox of Stewiacke. They had one child a daughter Sadie. She died in 1874 and was buded in West Amherst.

Two interesting letters written by Hugh I s first wife Annie Layton reveal something of the steady serious work of the women in spinning and weaving and organizing the generations even in their visiting to maximise. the output of cloth. We present them here. Salem Sept. 24, 1868 Dear Sister Em: I have several times planned or intended writing you since receiving yours, but never got 1 this far till today, and now it is 4 0 ciock, but I could not possibly get at it before. Our spin­ ning has been done some time, but we have a little more choring to do and Hugh, going to the marsh, makes us have a good deal of choring and the extra cooking and all the little things put together, takes all the time these short days. Speaking of colouring reminds me of a pair of stockings I coloured red. I had not worn them any but the yarn was not smooth enough for good white ones, and I thought I cou Id co lour them for common. I don I t need them if you wou Id Iike them to wear to school. I will send them to you. May gave me 6 knots, she thot I guess, there were nine. To get fine white yarn for you a pair, but I ran out of rolls, if you need them, I think I could change grey pulled rolls, for white sheared, when we get the gray. That last sub­ ject is an apostrophe is it not, or an episode or something. Well Hugh talks of going to Amherst to attend County Sessions and I thought I would try to get a letter written tonight for him to mail, but what do you think he says, he actually has not time to do it, but he may tomorrow if I get it written, and he may get it mailed some way. He got 3 or 4 dollars, all grandma had a few weeks ago, and that is all gone. I won't fret, but he has had to hire help getting his hay. I have to hire help too, .tho if I only knew how I have time enough to do the weaving now. When grandma is here and wel I, she is bothered to get enough work to do. 21 Aunt Rebecca has woven some sheets and a 40 yd. piece of all wool for us, and there are 20 yds. yet to weave. I expect she has her last piece in. She has been hurrying to get done be­ fore Aunt Eliza gets up. I expect she will make us both a good visit this fall. Mrs. Lawson called last night, and brought me a letter from father. He says you were com­ plaining of not hearing from us; not much wonder. Uncle Tommy, and his daughter, Mrs. Nelson Forest went on to last week. I sent a letter by them to Carson and Maggie, a wee note to Maggie Cox, but cou Id not get time to write you or Father, as I wanted to. Mrs. Forest wanted to see her sister Mrs. Corbett, Uncle T. his brother Isaac; and she said she always wanted to see where Tese was married, and William and Clement and Maggie Cox all are near to her, so she proposed to her father to go with her, as she thought perhaps he could never be able to go with her again. They are making quite a visit for them. We are expecting them to-night and letters with them. Am glad you had a nice time at Economy. Received a note from Rosy saying the baby was better. Hope to hear from them also by Mrs. Forest, but if not Liby Logan will be home next week. Saw Bess Fowler at meeting Sunday; she had come on coach the day before. Said Liby had gone out to Stewiacke to see Maggie. I had no chance to enquire for Jud's folks, or to ask how they came off about diplomas U.E. I will refer to this in your letter. First about Wilbur; he got along nicely when we were away; went to school with the little boy who boarded here to get the cows and feed the calves. He was pleased to see Mag. and Al ice. He is fond of her and she of him, and often reminds me of him and Lizze playing together. Wilbur did not go to school part of the time did not feel well; had boils. He reads in third book or copies some on slate. Aunt Peggie was here one day, two nights from Great Village. Em, you must read th is and Mary I s to Father. I fear he can I t read his own. I write so carelessly. Be kind to him. Do all you can to make home pleasant. You will never regret it.

Layton Hi 11, March 18 Dear Hugh: When about to lift this slow unsatisfactory medium of communication, I could not but men­ tally wish that this evening we could enjoy a tete a tete instead. Tis unseless however to wish or long for what circumstances make impossible. In connection with this as on other subjects "reason", one of God's gifts to man, teaches us submission and like good old Paul, we must "learn in what ever state to be content". Wei I Hugh, I have this evening attended the "Division of the sons of Temperance". As usual a small attendance, rather an interesting debate on the question, "Whether legal or moral suasion would best promote the cause of Temperance. 11 But I did not hear or at least did not listen to much of it, as there happened to be a gentleman present from Musquodoboit, and I took R. S's seat and wrote a note to Rosanna, J. W. and sister, May made her a visit last week, has some idea of giving up her school at the end of eleven instead of twelve months. Just a week to-night since A. came home, your ever welcome epistle was read with no less than usual interest, no fault to find with it excepting the length. I requested an acquaintance with your plans intentions a. because I thought that possibly the progress of affairs at home might not favour your ideas of going to the U.S.· as soon as June, and before making any preparation, I wished to know something desisive about your intentions. But as you say, "It takes two to make a bargain II and in this one I am a member of the firm. Well though nature shrinks from the sundering of so many dear old familiar ties, I have looked forward to it, have counted the cost, and am now ready to make the sacrifice. Forgive me 11 11 Dear Hugh for using the word sacrifice , but does it not look like making a sacrifice, to leave old familiar scenes and all my youthful friends for a comparatively strange land and one friend? Rea 11 y don I t your think that one cannot be a very dear, or that I must be a very foo Ii sh girl? Well I must admit that the first is so, and as to foolishness, you may decfde that 22 Many thanks for your sympathy with my feelings. I almost feared that you would be dis­ pleased with what some might term a weakness. But in accordance with your wish I shall try to be a good girl and will not dwell longer on this subject to-night. But accept my G""atitude for your kind of the future. May I not prove altogether unworthy of them. Well, acting upon your suggestion and my own conviction of duty, I attempted a few evenings since, to acquaint mother with our plans. May had previously told her, but It was time that she heard from myself. Like other mothers, she feels parting with her children, but made no serious objections to the time mentioned, though she said better tell H. to go to U. States and get a wife. We are, I presume at liberty to deduce a little from the remark as we choose, for she is not wholly ignorant of his worth, though she might attempt a joke. I am sure you will think me very tedious writing so much on one subject, but remember dear Sir that your correspondent has not the faculty of discussing a subject as quickly as you have. But be a good boy and you may not always have to read instead of hear my very important communications hear! hear! Well in your first letter after reaching home you spoke of J. W. being in earnest about going to U.S. in J., and also questioned me to inform you of arrangements that might concern you. Well if you think still of accompanying him, I will say that I had quite a chat with him a week since, and find that he is real I y in earnest. I spoke of somewhere about the 20th of June, though three months seems to be away in the future to begin plans to arrange affairs, yet we know from past time that it will soon be around, sooner perhaps than all can prepare for it. Now if you woµld wish it, H. I wi 11 try to be ready to accompany you want me to come to Jud's wedding but you must write soon and tell me all your wishes, plans for you know now that I will try to accede to them so far as I may be concerned in them. Please say whether you think Maggie James or other of your family would care anything about coming with you when you next visit. Jud seems to think it time these little matters were discussed.

Yours

Annie

The Children of John Generation IV

IV The children of John and Antoinette Fillmore were Elizabeth, Rebecca, Julia and Ellen. All were born in the 1840 1 s. They lost their mother in 1851 and John only remarried in 1855, but the home situation apparently was not so bleak in the intervening years as Antoinette I s mother was there. The girls in fact grew into a capable and impressive group of women. The question of Free Schools stirred the mind of the province at this time, and under the lead of Charles Tupper of Amherst became the number one political issue. The Free School Act became law in Al I the girls except Julia became teachers; Rebecca and Ellen taking the work very seriously, Rebecca holding teacher's licenses for both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and teaching the 8th grade in Amherst for some years. Al I four girls married and graced substantial homes in various parts of the Ch ignecto region. ELIZABETH married John Porter, lumberman of River Hebert who bought standing timber from time to time and harvested the cut logs in his own saw-mill during the winter months employing chiefly farmers with their teams and bob-sleds for hauling. This business became less and less profitable with the passing of the wooden shipbuilding, and the lumberman with capital badly reduced turned his energies to keeping a grocery store. EI izabeth died in 1903 with Rebecca at her bedside during her last week.

23 IV JULIA (Tab. Ref. 57) the third in time was the sister that stayed by the home while the others chose teaching; and through Iife probably was the closest to her father and stepmother. An attract­ ive girl and good housekeeper she was one of the first to marry; the husband Albert Davis eldest son of John Davis a pioneer farmer of West Leicster and Mary Boss. His grandfather Daniel Davis came from Bristol in 1812 being crowded out by the invention of the power loom. They lived in the house now occupied by their son Jefferson two miles from the Logan Salem homestead. Theirs' was a sociable home with Julia and her interests in all the larger family's doing - a fine place for boys to visit: its big sawdust pile from last winter's mill, its excellent apple orchard, the trip to the sugar woods with big son Jeff, the music of oow bel Is in the half-cleared areas, rides on the ~oads of cordwood readied for the city - everything in its season - a fair sample of life in the Cumberland hardwoods. Julia though not blessed with good health after middle life was able to keep going and later to receive her parents into her home until her father died, and other provision was made for her stepmother - the former Jane Sharpe. Albert was a kindly man with long features, a big frame and a friendly laugh. Not much of a talker, he stimulated conversation by his evident appreciation; a dependable Liberal in politics and,with Julia attendant,at a Methodist church; in family matters leaving most decisions to his wife. They had three children, Jeff, Retta and Helen.

IV REBECCA (Tab. ReL 57) fol lowing years of teaching in 1885 married J. Alder Davis, barrister, son of John and brother of Albert. After a year in St. Johns Newfoundland, they returned to settle in Amherst. After some experience with rented houses they purchased a permanent home on Havelock St. where they remained through life. J. Alder was a tall man of six feet five inches, and became a wel I known figure as with rapid stride he swung his cane along the sidewalk back and forth between home and office, or covered the same distance on his bicycle with its high frame and square handle bars. Earlier from his Leicster home he had studied for the Methodist ministry, but for reasons of his own decided to change course. He was of an inquiring mind, a mathematician, a scientist and a wide reader. A taboo was to him a challenge and the works of Darwin and Hux­ ley were a part of his intake and interest. Not a ready speaker he was not a man for the platform or for court pleading. His work in life was that of a Magistrate and Advisor, and for many years as the executive secretary of Amherst Electric Company. His hobbies were good talk, home carpentry, and gardening. Rebecca though dropping the school connection at marriage remained al I her Iife a teacher. Whether entertaining guests or washing the silverware the conversation flowed on, pointed up with apt illustrations. The examining process continued too along the familiar pattern, and some of her callers became "superior persons", so chosen not for their wealth or family - though the last was appealing - but because of the quality of their thought as determined by their conversation. While marriage brought her no family of her own she turned the failure to appropriate good purpose in making her beautiful house, with its situation near the Academy, into a second home for all her nephews and nieces who aspired to high school education. Indeed she saw to it that the conditions were made right - as she from her experience. conceived it - for the best use of their time; and the big kitchen especially with its long table, in the evening became an important addition to the Spring Street Academy itself, in the advance toward the coveted high school graduation in the experience of those who participated.

IV ELLEN_ (Tab. Ref. 57) idealistic and competent, shared in full degree the faith of her time in the new education as capable of raising the quality of society through a general advance in culture. Appropriate therefore it must have seemed that she should marry a Fullerton, a family whose first ancestor James S. Fullerton came to this continent from Scotland as an educator in 1784, taught grammar school in Halifax and private school in Horton (now Wolfville) for twenty years in all before crossing Minas Basin and buying a farm at Halfway River ten miles north of Parrsboro. Douglas was a farmer, his father, George Douglas also a farmer and lumberman. His mother was Cynthia Bent. They settled for a time in Halfway River but soon changed to farming in Point DeBute where, with their home cei:itrally located they raised five children. The farm effort here however was a disappointment. Douglas' health became bad and deteriorated slowly into invalid­ ism and finally death. The farm was sold but the home retained. Ellen throughout this period of 24 trial maintained a brave stand. She chose to guide the children into a dependence on education and teaching rather than looking to farming or the trades, and in this character the family in Point DeBute village became an exhibit of mutual helpfulness, with the older members bringing forward the younger. A second stroke of bad luck came however with the weakening of Ellen herself. Overtaken by Arthritis she was driven from partial incapacity to life in a wheel-chair and finally complete helplessness. Her neighbours nontheless remember her and her home and family as persons and place providing welcome, cheer and good conversation. Her children's names: Myrtle, Kate, Helen, Roy and Carl.

John Logan: Second Family IV The children of John Logan and Jane Sharpe were four: Amos, Howard, Walter, and Caroline (Carrie). Appearing on the scene in the period 1856-63 they found themselves thrust into company with the four half-sisters ranging from 5 to 15 years their senior. They apparently lived in the same house though at times with handy adjustments. Antoinette 1 s mother Charlotte Fillmore, who we know continued business relations with son-in-law John, very probably eased the burden of children care particularly as affecting the sisters, her own granddaughters. John's house by the marsh, moreover, built early in his own period was large with front door opening at centre into a hall running straight back between ample rooms, two on each side - and the same arrangement on the second floor. At the end of the hal I were two kitchens, and stairways connect­ ed the storeys at both front and back. 111 Jane Sharpe it should be said was a person with different emphasis in values from that of John and his crop of young Fi I lmore-Logans. She was a lover of fun brought up by in tel I igent parents in Lower Maccan with 7 brothers and sisters, a humourist not overly concerned with such matters as the Free School System and what it might do for mankind. It was in the family institution she was interested, in which she took pride, in which now in her marriage she placed her own dependence and bu i It her own castles.

IV AMOS (Tab. Ref. 57) the first child was born in 1856 when his father was 36 and mother 35., Of his education there has been Ii ttl e said. In view of his father and the battery of teaching sisters it may seem remarkable he never went to high schoo I. He was unusually strong and at 15 was apparently doing a man I s work. In John's day-book are entries covering days of work on the dykes credited to him as marsh owner: X days for Amos, Y days for himself. Amos's own statement was that at fifteen and from then on he carried a man I s load regularly. Somewhere along the way he did learn the method of keeping a good set of books, a practice he carried on regularly. Otherwise his formal education was confined to Public School. At 28 he married Jane Dixon of Point DeBute, daughter of John Dixon and Prudence Tingley both of Yorkshire descent. John was the grandson of Charles Dixon distinguished pioneer in the early life of Sackville, whose acres are said to have embraced the site of Mount Allison University. Tall, popular and competent - Jane was a fair representative of that tradition, and one capable of utilizing its culture. The house at West Amherst was divided with the rooms on each side to a family. And fields and barns were also divided. In this setting seven children were born to Amos and Jane, but three died in early infancy and a fourth through an accident in her second year. The others - Fremont, Mary and Harold - reached maturity and took their place in Canadian life. A decade and a half of close family living ended in a complete change. The grandparents moved to Leicester to live with daughter Julia. Amos, with the use of rollers, capstan and ropes moved the big house away from the site near the marsh, across the fields and up to the road - a week long journey - to rest in front of the new modern barn of unprecedented dimensions already in process of building. No more hand-pitching of hay over high beams in out-dated barns. No more living alone out of contact with people on the highway. No more breaking of road in the drifted old lane in the winter. The change was costly to be sure but in the new way of I ife pro­ duction would be easier and the scale of operation in crops, cattle, and dairy - and likewise the income -would be increased. So! lets be modern! was Amos's thought in which he was supported by the agricultural papers and his advisors and visits to the Experimental farm in Nappan. But "all thatglitters is not gold"andan increase in scale in Maritime farming is not always 25 profitable nor does it eliminate hard work. Yet this case did represent an improvement in social living until Jane died in 1911 and the sons left to follow other professions. Came the war in 1914 and the farm was rented. Amos went west for some years but returned to Amherst and increasingly crippled with rheumatism, lived to 86 in contact with one or other of his sons. Through many years it should be added he had been deacon of the Amherst Baptist Church, and responsible especially for its Amherst Pt. branch, after the retirement of his uncle James Layton.

IV HOWARD (Tab. Ref. 57) John I s second son, was a slender boy and studious. With fhe father no doubt averse to planning the division of the farm it was suitable to al I - older sisters applauding - that Howard should take the scholarship trail, and so it was. He went through high school in Amherst, took two years at Acadia University, and then, probably through lack of funds dropped University temporarily at least and went into newspaper reporting. Shortly he was with the Montreal Star. And at 25 enjoyed the distinction of serving as Ottawa Press Gallery member for thatpaper. At this point he caught typhoid fever and died in Montreal.

IV WALTER (Tab. Ref. 57) also had come of age. Of his education and preparation for life we haven I t a word. We may suspect he may have been a mother I s favourite and out of step with the intellectually ambitious half sisters. The one message comes through that he wanted to go to sea - a desire natural enough for a Nova Scotia boy who watched the full-sailed ships go down the Basin laden with lumber; and heard the stories of young Nova Scotians rising to be mates and captains and owners of their own ship; and trading to the West Indies and in fact to all the world. Failing to get his father's consent he waited until he came of age. Then took his leave and found his ship. He never came back. His ship returned in due course and reported his loss on the same day as word of Howard's death came from Montreal. To Dr. Steele, Baptist Minister, fell the task of breaking the news of the double tragedy to the parents and family. Amos drove to Baie Verte (Shediac) and interviewed the ship I s captain but to no purpose. Walter had been left on deck off the Canary Islands when al I others had gone below and when they came up he was gone. To the family the blow was staggering. The mother, stricken,never recovered her poise though she I ived over 20 years longer; grief in time giving place to a state of worry, and increas­ ingly to a dependence on others for satisfactory responsible living. On others the Howard image of scholarly manhood and service, already widely applauded, now doubled in strength and cap­ tured the practical attention of youth beyond the immediate fami !y. Conversations lamented his death, and babies were named with his full name. But it was the sister group that found the answer appropriate to the tragedy. This was to develop a course of compensatory action. Ellen, already a mother, steered her whole flock toward serviceable education. Rebecca, as already suggested, turned her house to the aid of all relatives interested in taking high school, and recited the virtues of the tal I young reporter whose picture had its place in her home.

IV CARRIE (Tab. Ref. 57) the youngest of al I - 18 at the time of the tragedy and the on Iy fu 11 blood sister - decided to become a journalist. She went to Acadia University for two years but had to break off to take care of her mother. After many years, covering the remainder of the mother's life during which they lived in Amherst, she returned to Acadia and took her degree at fifty years of age in the class of 1911. Thereafter she went to Vancouver where for many years, grey-haired and indomitable, she reported for various Vancouver papers. Her favourite work: covering political meetings, especially the lively combative sessions of municipal councils. During much of this time she enjoyed the companionship of her Layton cousins from Amherst Pt. vis: Mrs. Fred and her daughters Bessie and Ruth; and later that of her own niece Kate Fullerton deaconess of Vancouver United Church. During 1913 she frequently holidayed on weekends with nephew Harry Logan in the city from his work at Columbian College in New Westminster. She died in and was buried in the family plot in Highland View Cemetery in Amherst.

26 Progeny of Isaac Generation IV (cont'd)

IV BESSIE (Tab. Ref. 58) The children of Isaac Logan by his first wife were Arthur, Bessie, and Annie. Those by his second wife were Mary (May), Charles T., Bliss, and Fred. Arthur we have noted above, died at twenty from pneumonia resulting from exposure in ditching. Bessie,oldest daughter, attended school at Amherst Pt. and thereafter became absorbed in the household re­ quirements of farm life. Her mother all too soon grew sick and died and after a time a stepmother came in her place and presented her father with four more children. Bessie's dependable presence enabled two younger sisters to take more education, engage in teaching and eventually (it so happened), to marry. Also it freed her new mother to devote more attention to three promising sons. Bessie never married. She rarely left home except to visit with her sisters. She died at years.

IV ANNIE (Tab. Ref.58) after high school and Normal, taught school at East Amherst and Minudie. Thereafter she married James W. Clarke, native son of the latter but through I ife em­ ployed as fuel inspector with the Canadian National Railway in Moncton N.B. There they settled and raised two sons, Herbert and Arthur. Annie like her father was tall and slender - a kindly person and gentle - self effacing rather than dominant. She gave of herself very generously to the activities of the Baptist Church in Moncton.

IV MAY (Tab. Ref.58) first child of Isaac and Margaret Cahill, likewise following highschool and normal, taught East Amherst and River Hebert. While in the latter she boarded with one Michael K. Pugsley, himself a teacher before turning to farming. There she met Clarence W. son of Michael and Ann Sharpe Pugsley, and next summer married him. They were U.E.L. from N.Y.; the first named David coming to Nova Scotia in 1783. Clarence acquired Glenburn farm one of Nova Scotia's richest and best, situated in Barronsfield on the tide-watered River Hebert, and embracing upland and marsh and timber with scenery of the finest. In these surroundings he and May settled and met the big challenge. Life on the 300-acre farm was strenuous but mainly happy. For they were hospitable people and ,V\ay an excellent hostess while Clarence was a competent farmer with chosen herds of cattle pasturing on the Glenburn Lowlands - a leader in Municipal affairs, a man whom people trusted, and sought for his advice; one also who viewed his job not only in money terms but as a time honoured responsibility: farming as a way of life. That it was a lovely place to visit was the universal judgment of those who travelled there.

IV CHARLES T. (Tab. Ref. 59) grew up on his father's farm and after completing public school con­ tinued to live in helpful relation with parents, brothers and sisters. He continued single for many years even after his father's death - but as eldest living son took over the proprietorship in due course; continuing to farm however in the traditional way. When nearing middle life certain changes affected his outlook causing him to discover new capabilities in himself. He benefited from talks with his brother Fred, home on vacations from attending Agricultural College. A young Englishman whom he employed proved creative and stimulating and their lasting friendship encour­ aged extension of the areas of farming. When his cousin Hance, M. P. purchased the old Logan Homestead Charles was employed as Manager and profited from the new responsibi I ities and the contacts with various persons. When his neighbour Silas Corbett retired through age Charles dis­ covered his own quality as a buyer, shipper, and seller of pressed hay, and later of fertilizer in which business activities he raised the dimensions of trade in Cumberland and Westmoreland to new heights in these basic farm commodities. Finally he married his neighbour Maude Keillor daughter of Park and Eunice Dixon Keillor who brought to him strength, stability, and confidence. He was essentially social, at his best in purposeful contacts with people. He flourished in the tussle of business, showed his interest in the Baptist Church, was a delightful travelling com­ panion, and above all gloried in politics. He served for a time as a counsellor for his district; but was more intensely interested in the federal field and its parliamentary gladiators. He was born a Conservative earning with his earliest cries the name, Charles Tupper, but in maturity 27 thought differently and supported Laurier and King, and his cousins Hance Logan and Layton Ralston. In his seventies he and Maude moved to Amherst and I ived on Lawrence Street next door to the "Bird" house, but he continued active as a dealer in hay until his late eighties. He lamented greatly the fate of the hay market and the abandonment of the marshes. He died aged 94, pre­ ceded a few weeks by Maude who was 4 years younger.

IV BLISS (Tab. Ref. 59) as second son, after completing high school inAmherst turned awayfrom the farm to seek his fortune elsewhere. Stimulated perhaps by the career of Sir Charles Tupper or perhaps by the political rise of his cousin Hance he found himself in Ottawa, .. where it is said he served for a time as a page boy in the House of Commons. Shortly however he received an appointment with the government railway at its Moncton headquarters and served it for more than four decades having, prior to his retirement, been for many years the efficient and responsible general store-keeper for the C. N.R. Atlantic Region. In his interests outside his occupation he showed like tendencies towards service and respon­ sibility. Notable in this respect was his service to the Moncton Hospital Board over many years, most of the time in the capacity o(Treasurer. Likewise he served in numerous official capacities, such as the Independent Order of Oddfel lows both in Moncton and in the Mari times Grand Lodge. As a Christian he was one of the leading laymen in the Maritime Baptist denomination. Bliss was a man of affable manner and friendly nature. He was deliberate and thoughtful in conversation. Through life a Conservative in politics, he was a man with real concern about the neglect and dismissal of tried values. Early in life he married Margaret, daughter of a doctor, cultured and reserved and much appreciated by those who came to know her. In his retirement they enjoyed a leisurely trip in Europe.

IV FREDERICK MILES (Tab. Ref 59) the youngest of the family, born in 1871, received his early education in the Amherst and Truro schools and was graduated from Ontario Agricultural College with University of Toronto (B.A.) B. S.A. in 1905. He probably was the first of the Cumberland Logans to put to such test a college of agriculture. Following graduation he was employed suc­ cessively by the Departments of Agriculture of Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Alberta. Later he moved to Regina, where he served for some years as Assistant Dairy Commissioner, but event­ ually left government service to become General Manager of Saskatchewan Co-operative Creamer­ ies, Ltd. Later, in 1955 continuing his return eastward he moved to St. John, N. B. where he purchased and operated a milk butter and cheese processing plant cal led the Standard Creamery. When this firm merged with another, Dealers' Dairy, Limited, he continued as president and general manager until his retirement in 1944. As a man ever concerned with keeping in touch with his public he was active in assisting dairy farming and in Exhibitions both in the West and East. In St. John he served on the Board of Directors of the St. John Exhibition Association for many years. There also he was a member of Kiwanis and the Canadian Club and of St. David I s Church. In his youth in the role of entertainer he was often heard in recitation especially in interpretation of William Henry Drummond; and Iater he he Id high rank in the lndependen t Order of Foresters. He was married in 1906 to Ida Eleanor Patterson, daughter of James Patterson, mi lier and merchant of Guelph, and his wife Eleanor Moore. Ida was well known as a church soloist and social leader qnd through the years has stood for good times and an active pattern·of social living. Still living and lively at 90 and loving life she has resided for some years in her daughter's house in Brantford. The stamp of her influence shows acceptably in her progeny. To the marriage of Fred and Ida there were born three children Eleanor, Walter and Donald, all born in the West and schooled in Regina and St. John.

IV SENATOR HANCE J. (Tab. Ref. 58) 1869 - 1944, son of James Archibald Logan and Hannah Hunter. Hance J. Hunter of Linden was born at the Logan Homestead Amherst Pt., educated at Model School, Truro, Pictou Academy and Dalhousie University Law School. Read law with Hon. Wm. T. Pipes K.C.; called to the bar of N.S. 1892, created Kings Council 1909. Prac­ ticed law with Stuart Jenks K.C., later with Hon. J. Layton Ralston K.C. and later still with John S. Smiley K.C. - all in Amherst. 28 An ardent Liberal he was elected M. P. for Cumberland Co. 1896 when only 27, against Arthur Dickey a cabinet Minister; was re-elected in 1900, 1904 and 1908 but lost in 1911 on the reciprocity issue, but won again in 1921. While no great debater he was politically competent, tal I, aggressive and colorful; at ease on the platform, talked the language that the smal I towns and villagers liked to hear; loved it all and brought strength to the Laurier Government with whom he rose to prominence, and whose fal I from power he also shared. Among his contributions were refinements in the British Preference Act and his pressing upon Parliament the need of a revised trade agreement with the British West Indies. In 1924-25 he visited these colonies as a commissioner, addressed boards of Trade and waited upon several of their governments, extending an invitation from Canada to send delegates to a conference at Ottawa. Returning he made a report to Parliament, presided at the opening of the conference and took part in negotiating the Canada - British West Indies Trade Agreement of 1925 (a piece of legislation sti 11 standing 1966). In 1929 he was appointed to the Senate of Canada. In 1895 he married Eleanor L. Kinder daughter of She died in 1899. They had a son Wal lace who died a victim from gas in World War 1. In 1907 Hance bought the old homestead from Fred Layton and made his home there for 22 years. He contributed greatly to its improvement not only through modernizing the house but in clearing certain areas and revealing the beauty and recreation possibilities of the 11 II 11 nearby glen and "pot-holes : nature's gift in the gypsum rock formation above the Lake. In 1929 he sold it to Wm. Harding. Shortly before this he had married a widow, Mrs. Blanche McKenna of Parrsboro, and went there now to I ive when not in attendance at Ottawa. He died in 1944 and his body was interred in High land View Cemetery, Amherst. Hance' s last years were clouded by sinister charg~s of wrongdoing against the state and though he was exonerated by a court manned by his peers in Par I iament, the charges cut deep, undermining his normally buoyant spirit.

IV LUCY (Tab. Ref. 58) Lucy Fowler daughter of James A. and Hannah Hunter Logan was born at Amherst Pt. educated Truro High School and Acadia, taught music with classes in Amherst, Spring Hill and later in Alberta; was an irregular contributor to Canadian magazines; a much travelled person on Canada's railroads; tall, good carriage and an easy manner: her one handicap - a lack of hearing - only partially redeemed in later years by invention of the hearing aid. Allowing for deafness an excellent conversationalist with definite fields of interest: l) With a brother in politics she loved the political scene and to talk on its people; not the issues as debated but the men themselves and the social side of their activity. Many of these she knew and reported their recent happenings. 2) Childless herself she mothered the (larger) Logan family: here she was a carrier, a go-between, a reporter of happenings and accomplishments of each to each. Her visits in her long-distance travels were mainly at relative's homes. Here again she acclaimed the com­ petent, which to her had reference not to the wealthy as much as to those effective in debate, in humour, creative in conversation or other accomplishment. Her chosen mission was to encourage, to report, to cement re lotions, - be an ambassador of good w i 11. Born at the old homestead, she gladly returned there when Hance bought it and played her part in entertaining his guests and making a home for his son Wallace. Her part in this our work was that of a pioneer visitor and reporter. It occupied her on her travels for many years. About most family members she wrote down for the record the plain genealogical facts; for the others - those prominent in their accomplishment and likely to be of special interest to many members - she was more expansive. During forty years many have read copies of her unfinished work and some have added new material of their own. She died in 1945 - as the result of a fall - in Spring­ hill Hospital and was buried in Highland View Cemetery, Amherst.

IV WILBUR, ALICE AND ANNIE (Tab. Ref.59) Generation IV in the Salem home followed the pattern of II and Ill in retaining one son for the family homestead and loosing the others to speed the population at Tide-water. Now, however, there was only one son, Wilbur to play the home role, which left sisters Alice and Annie to be the travellers. Of these, Annie, the younger who never hesitated long in turning thoughts into actions, was the first away. While visiting relatives, she met Joseph Dixon, tal I young farmer of Pt. De Bute son of John Dixon and Prudence Tingley, 29 descendant of Yorkshire pioneer Charles, and shortly married him. All Baptists together, the young couple contributed actively to their church, sang in its choir and played well their part in the social life of the village. Snugly placed on their arable well-located farm they raised two daughters, Mary and Dormer. When still in middle life Joseph died and Annie went to live with her older daughter in Chicago and later married her second husband. IV Alice meanwhile remained single with attention centered on religion, and eventually in service as a missionary. An early volunteer for the foreign field of the Baptists she was for health reasons·not gccepted; but in 1907 was appointed pastor 1 s assistant to look after this work among the women in Amherst. A decade later she married the Reverend William Robinson, scholarly Baptist widower, and joined him in his pastorates in Pt. de Bute and in the Annapolis Valley. Wilbur fell naturally into the operation of the home farm as enlarged and consolidated by his father. The cleared arable land in 1914 amounted to well over 100 acres (one report said 90 acres of upland in hay alone) while timber land beyond covered the acres which generations earlier were part of the holdings of his great-uncles William, James and David and of his Uncle Isaac. The cattle barn (75x35) with its sloping ramps, was the centre of dairy farming and stock operations. Contributing to the fodder necessary to winter feeding of horses and cattle were further acres owned in Amherst Pt. marshland 12 miles away. But realizing on this meant the 2-way haul with men and machines in August, and the same with bob-sleds in winter to bring home the hay temporar i I y stored. Wilbur married Catherine (Cassie) Schurman daughter of James Schurman of River Philip, and Catherine Eloise Church, from East Amherst. It was evidently a happy marriage; one such as some­ time develops out of a union of opposites. Wilbur was a serious, quiet-spoken man, with his thoughts well considered and measured before being entrusted to others; a religious man and so acknowledgedbyhis church as deacon and lay leader. Cassie, by contrast, was luxuriously free of any such responsibility, like a person who had burned out his brakes before learning to talk. In addition she was histrionically capable and creative. The result~ society was at its best when she entert<_Jined with her racy review of events - punctuated with pauses just long enough to allow Wi Ibur - often featured as the hero - or what have you - of the story - to lay the foundations of a dissent. When war broke out in 1914 Cassie became deeply stirred; and her patriotism was unrestrain­ ed as their own sons Hugh and Carson both donned uniforms and went to war. She presided at rallies, produced war music, resurrected the Men of Harlech, and in general gave it all she had. When her son Carson was ki I led on the trench wal I she wi I ted. A year after the war ended she died (of cancer) in the Amherst Hospital. In wartime Wi Ibur I s lot was unbearably heavy. Both sons at war; daughters Evelyn and Mildred stricken for a time with polio; help hard to find. In time his eyes gave out and in 1929 the farm that had been carved from the wilderness and had been the home of 5 generations of Logans was sold by him and his son Hugh - returned from the war. Meanwhile Annie after some years of employment in Chicago returned to Nova Scotia and married Norman Longley of Paradise. Shortly thereafter the Robinsons retired and made their home also in Paradise. And finally Wi Ibur with farm sold and sight gone accepted an invitation from Annie to come and live with her. And so it happened that after the death of Mr. Longley and also of the Reverend Robinson the three Salem-bred Logans - Wilbur, Al ice and Annie - were together again in two neighbouring homes in this beautiful restful Valley village, the sisters being eyes to their brother especially in reading aloud and in assessing the morning paper. That they disagreed heartily with the paper on some points, and on others with each other, only goes ·to show they still were Logans .-;we I I-seasoned and true to type. On matters of re I igion, however, they were less controversial. Minor differences might wel I be left to rest. The real threat was to fuhdamentals. And these were not subject for argument.

IV The Laytons: The growing years of the 4 children of Jos. Layton and Rebecca - Frank, Emma, Bessie and Fred - were passed in Brookdale, and a brief spel I at Church St. Amherst; and the change to Amherst Point seems to have been associated with the arrival at marriage age of the eldest.

30 IV FRANK (Tab. Ref.60) apparently was left with the Brookdale farm on what terms we know not when the parents and the others moved to the Point. Shortly however, he and his young wife Isabel Smith followed and took up qu\Jrters on the farm adjoining his parents to the Eastward - probably the old William Logan place. The lure of New England was looming large to many young people at this time however, and soon Frank and young family - already unsettl-ed - were on their way to Massachusetts there to remain. (For the names of offspring in generation V see P. 60 Beyond this we have no information concerning their condition and activities. Inquiry brought no reply).

IV EMMA (Tab. Ref. 60} born 1853, daughter of James and Rebecca Logan Layton, when 25 married Herbert Pipes a young farmer of Upper Nappan and brother of Hon. William Pipes K.C. Premier of Nova Scotia 1892-4. The Pipes family were of Yorkshire descent the first Wm. Pipes coming from 11 11 Hull in 1774. Herbert, known generally as Hub , was for many years a well known figure on Amherst streets. No less than his brother he was a competent talker and being a philosopher as wel I he found there was much that should be said about many things. In the capacity of distributor of milk produced by his fine herd of jerseys, he found the contacts with customers appropriate for a meeting of minds as much as for trade. Emma, like her mother before her, who also moved through life with an actively vocal hus­ band, played well her no less essential but quiet supporting role of wife and mother in a very busy farm fam i Iy. Both she and Hub. were staunch Baptists and church workers. A plaque in the Amherst church attests to their quality. Born to Hub. and Emma were 4 children: Elida, Arthur, Roy and Ethel.

IV BESSIE CHIPMAN LAYTON (Tab. Ref.60} second daughter of James and Rebecca was of small stature but a person of independant mind and strength of character. She loved her native commun­ ity within her native province, and disliked the growing exodus of young people to far away places. Like her father she cherished her religion and sought to build its values into her family through daily recognition and practice. Altogether a serious mind and practical in her social relations, she influenced friends and relatives, and left her stamp especially upon Layton, her eldest son and confidant.. Bessie married Burnett Ralston son of Thomas of Pictou and descendant of Wm. Ralston who sailed from Grenock Scotland on the historic ship 11 Thetis 11 in 1826. Surviving the unusual hardships of the ocean and hunger thereafter, he married in 1829 Lavinia Purdy of Westchester, and raised numerous progeny. Few, however, settled in Cumberland. Burnett an exception, was for a time in groceries, but became better known as postmaster of Amherst. He and Bessie had 4 sons, Layton, Mackenzie, Norman and Ivan.

IV FRED (Tab. Ref. 60) youngest son of Jas. and Rebecca Layton, raised mainly in Amherst Point, worked with his parents on the Old Homestead, and in due course became proprietor. His education was received at the Point and his face was familiar in its church where he followed his father also as caretaker. He was twice married: 1) to Mary Al ice Embree, daughter of and of U.E. L. stock, and by whom he had one daughter; and 2) Catherine Bacon, daughter of Bacon of Pugwash by whom he had two. He was not a strong man physical Iy and had no sons to support his effort in farming, a mortgage too on his farm weighed heavily. Consequently under the circumstances, other ways of living looked rewarding and appropriate. At 48 he sold out and with his family went West. With his wife, father and 3 daughters he settled at Vernon B.C. engaging in fruit farming. But there a tragic accident brought his sudden death.

Generation V

V JEFFERSON (JEFF) (Tab. Ref.57) son of Albert and Julia Logan Davis succe~ded his father in farming and cropping their forest acres in West Leicester. In his earlier years his work in fall and winter was to cut and haul cordwood for Amherst furnaces, but with the displacement of hard wood for heating by petroleum in the 1930's and after, this work and income dwindled and ceased. Thereafter dependence was on farming and bringing logs to the sawmills to be made into lumber. Jeff married Alice Coates, daughter of Israel Coates and his wife Mary Flora both of Yorkshire Iineage, of Salem. They have two sons, Albert Edward and Raymond Alder.

V RETTA DAVIS (Tab.

During World War I she married James Burton, born in England and an instructor in piano. They had one son, Reginald William Burton. Later the parents separated and contact wi.th the father was lost. Retta being ill, returned with her boy to her aunt in Amherst for a rest, then again went West and found employment suitable to herself and to her son's development. In a few years, however, she died, and Reginald went back to her aunt and was educated according to the same pattern set for his mother and the others.

Kate also taught for some years but subsequent­ ly took further education and became a deaconess of the United Church, serving first in the Mari­ times and later for many years with the United Church in Vancouver. Bright, sincere and devoted, she was a 11 natural II in th is role. She attended her Aunt Carrie, the veteran reporter, through her last i I lness and reported to relatives back East. She never married. She died in Vancouver. Carl, the youngest of the family, served in the first World War; then went to the West and after teaching for a time turned to ranching in the Calgary region.

From Harvard he turned to teaching in Montreal and British Columbia - 1910 - 1914. Then for 31 years he served with Montreal Protestant Schools as supervisor and also as principal and teacher, first at Berthelot 1914 - 1918, then with Devonshire 1918 - 1945. At the close of the war he lectured for a spell at McGill and was barely out of the harness when he was stricken and died. As a teacher and principal he was a true educationist. Time and again he reminded people that the school was for the child, not the child for the school. He was also an indefatigable story teller, and ready wit, and rarely failed to come through with this brand of humour. We may" stop for just one sample: His uncle Amos lived largely by selling dairy products, and in business fashion plastered the fact unmistakably across the letterhead of his stationery. Roy was visiting the family and dinner was in full swing in the dining room. From Amos: "Roy! please pass the butter. Your 11 I I 11 story wi II keep. From Roy: "You re right, Uncle Amos, my story wi II and your butter won t • While teaching in the West - after Harvard - Roy met and married Effie Henderson, c1,; !tu red daughter of Newfoundland parents; the father from Scotland and a merchant in dry goods; the mother from • Their home during most of their married Iife was Victoria St. on the Mountain, Montreal.

V JAMES LAYTON RALSTON (Tab. Ref. 60) born Amherst, N. S. 1881 , son of Burnett Wi 11 iam and Bessie Layton Ralston. Attended Amherst Academy and Dalhousie Law School; was called to Nova Scotia Bar, March 1903; elected to Nova Scotia Legislature in 191 l and re-elected 1915. His law firm in Amherst was Logan, Jenks & Ralston. He served with great distinction in the first World War, rising from a captaincy to command a battalion with rank of Lt. Colonel and won Distinguished Service Order and Bar; was severely wounded at Ami ens and was created a Cdr. of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. In 1926 he entered the House of Commons and was appointed Minister of National Defence. In 1930 when the Liberal Government was defeated he sat as a private member in opposition to the Bennett government and for five years acted as financial critic for the opposition and was his party's authority on defence. During this period he was turning more attention to his law practice. In 1931 after 28 years practice in Nova Scotia, he was called to the Quebec Bar and in 1935 withdrew from political life. Became senior member of the law firm Ralston, Kearney, Ongnet, and MacKay, Montreal. But when Hitler struck at Poland he went immediately to Ottawa, and there was named Minister of Finance by Mr. King. In 1940 after Norman Rogers was killed in an air crash he was returned to Minister of Defence. 11 From then until 1944, his career is the story of the expansion, training and deployment for battle of the Canadian Army. 11 In the late summer of 1944 a dispute arose which developed to a complete break between the close friends Layton Ralston and Prime Minister King. Ralston considered men enlisted for home defense and already trained, should be sent overseas to an army greatly in need. King did not. With both men in the council chamber Mr. King dismissed his Defence Minister. During and after this crisis, Ralston's position in the country was strong. "Stripped of his office, reduced to the status of a backbencher•; his actual power exceeded that of the Prime Minister. "He spoke for the majority of the people, 11 and his successor was .forced to move in the House of Commons a motion in favour of overseas conscription, on which occasion Col. Ralston supported him with a notable speech. (The quotes are from Grant Dexter in Winnipeg Free Press copied in Amherst Daily News, May 31, 1948.)

Upon his retirement1 he returned to his practice as a corporation lawyer. He died of a stroke, May 21, 1948, aged 66. His funeral four days later from the First Baptist Church, Montreal 39 with military honours at the grave, was among the greatest and marked by the deepest feeling known to Canadians. Friends, Cabinet Ministers, business associates and army friends came to pay tribute to a strong man. 11 There wi 11 be no eulogy" remarked Dr. Miles McCutcheon before the service, "Colonel Ralston's record is his eulogy. 11 Notable among personal tributes was that from Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King which said "Colonel Ralston's public life was actuated throughout by the noblest patriotism and the high­ est sense of public duty. His services as Minister of Defense were tireless and unceasing. The best years of his life were given in the most unselfish, devoted and self-sacrificing measure to the service of our country and the cause of freedom. 11 His was a well-known face in many clubs. Throughout his life he was an active member of the Baptist Church. Also, while she lived, he was a regular correspondent and consultant with his mother, Bessie Layton Roi ston.

VI CARSON LOGAN ll(Tab. Ref. 58)First son of Hugh Logan IV and Elizabeth Lowther. From a fond home and schools in Nappan and Amherst he went to university. Thoughtful and serious minded - an exce Ilent student - he cut short his course at Dalhousie to go to war. From letter of his father to Charles and Maud, dated Nappan Sta. Apri I 22/44. "The air crew Carson was with was to be sent on special naval convoy work and so they should, it was felt, know something of the point of view of those in the ships. They were therefore loaned to the navy temporarily and each was sent out on a different ship at different times. The ship Carson was on was torpedoed and sunk and it is believed he went down with the ship. It was on convoy du.ty 'guarding a valuable convoy' we were told. 11

VI LT. COMMANDER JOHN W. LOGAN (JACK) (Tab. Ref. 58) represents to us the 2nd World War, as his father Rugh did the first. We found him on a summer afternoon in the garden of his spacious home at 22 Wildwood Lake, out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. With his wife and two young sons he showed a boyish pride in his accomplishment in stumping, burning and bringing under cultivation his own bit of land during two years in his spare time. To our questions about where and how he had served in the Navy and his choice among mi I itary appointments, he gave us the fol lowing: 11 1 have served in all parts of Canada, the British Isles, Mediterranean and West Indies. Being also an Air Pilot I have flown over North Africa. The most interesting bits of my naval career would have to be flying - I think Carrier flying; the catapaulting, the arrested landings and the combination of a small moving base of operation, is a wonderful experience. The other part of Navy Life - driving destroyers, as an instance, requires much less skill and ability. I have been 2nd in command of two squadrons (air), and a destroyer. I have been C. 0. of 1 1 a fighter squadron (sea ferry aircraft) and briefly commanded the destroyer Chaudiere • Presently I am Operation Officer at the Nava I Air Station, Dartmouth. Other interesting appointments have been with Experimental Squadron One (U.S. Navy) at Key West; in Naval lnte 11 igence in Ottawa, and tours of duty in England, and on the (staffside) in Ottawa." Jack is of serious :-nien, likes leadership, and - by habit - command; enjoys gardening, plays all sports, hunts, fishes, is a home-spun and aggressive carpenter. His wife is Joan, daughter of the Rev. C.K. Whalley, long the rector of St. George's, Sydney, and hi-s wife Trivett, also of Anglican ministry and missionary stock. Joan is VII a Registered Nurse and a mature conversationalist. Their two fine boys, Ian and Hugh VI, and dog 11 Novie 11 (short for Nova Scotia), complete the family.

VI DONALD LOGAN (Tab. Ref. 58) third son of Hugh and Elizabeth, moves along toward serious purpose under a smoke screen of humour, a technique perhaps coming easy to a grandson of Cassie, and an image established in boyhood being reinforced in training for airforce. Today, however, he is our clan's best representative, probably, in taming the smashed atom. We quote from his rep I y to our enquiry:

48 "I have no great achievements other than being paid quite well for what I do. Went to Nappan public school, Amherst Senior High, Mt. Allison for pre-engineering and received degree from Nova Scotia Technical College in 1952. Then worked as field engineer for Shawinigan Engineering Co. Ltd. for six years and have worked in operations for Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd. where I have been the Senior Loop Supervisor for the N.R.U. Reactor Branch, but at New Years, 1966 was transferred to the Design Branch. (Location - Deep River, Ontario). 11 And with regard to Interests outside his occupation he writes: 11 You could maybe write off our branch of the family as black sheep. My main hobby is sitting in my chair doing nothing. (If you don 1 t believe that, ask Martha.) I also hunt and fish and have coached some kids' hockey teams, and read Science fiction. Like most Logans I can get immersed in absorbed reading and never know whats happening around me. My wife finds this disconcerting. " Before marriage Martha was Martha Paradis, daughter of Pierre Romeo Paradis, district manager in Quebec City for Chrysler Corporation, and Adrienne Corbeau his wife, both from Montreal. Martha herself was secretary of a French radio station, and is a delightful person. VII Donald and Martha have three children: Audrey, Dorothy and Robert.

VI HUGH V (Tab. Ref.58) son of Hugh and Elizabeth Lowther, was born in Salem, educated in Nappan, Amherst and at Prairie Bible Institute, Alberta. He married Elizabeth Maria Young (Peggi) daughter of Alfred Young, a civil engineer of North Toronto, and Elizabeth Beattie; both parents having emigrated from Ireland. He and Elizabeth both took a year of special pre­ paration in Belgium for missionary work in the Congo, Elizabeth's mother going with them to allow them full time for their studies. Thus prepared the two proceeded to their work in Africa, remaining four years unti I com­ pel led to leave by the unfortunate uprising. Returning to Canada, Hugh preached at Coe Hill, Ontario for a time, then in December, 1964, moved to Kitchener where he now ministers to a larger following at Missionary Tabernacle. At our request that they answer some questions calculated to reveal something of their life and work in the Congo, Hugh responded with the following (necessarily abbreviated) statements. 11 1 went to Africa then to preach the Gospel. It was thrilling to know that we were being appointed by our mission (Uneveangelized Fields Mission), to our pioneer station at Wanie Rukula, 40 miles south of Stanleyville. The road in was equivalent to a wagon-trail here at home, but between 1957 and 1960 we had a paved highway. Our most pleasant work on the field was trekking. I took all opportunity to spend time preaching the Gospel in the villages. Our parish would be roughly 100 sq. miles, containing thousands of people, many of whom had rarely seen white people. We would live right in the African villages in one of their homes (much to the surprise of other white folk). Both Peggi and I taught in the grade school we had organized on the station, teaching grades one through four. Above that our most promising students were sent to one of our older stations for further schooling. Many of our students boarded - in at the school - as we sought to house and feed those from far-away vii loges. Our children were just two and were pre-schooler during our four years in Congo. They were happy to play by themselves or with small African boys till later when another missionary boy moved to our station. Malaria was our big problem. 11 VI I Hugh and Elizabeth have three young sons: Alfred Hugh, Matthew Harold, and Albert Daniel.

VI ANNA KATHRYN LOGAN (KAY) (Tab. Ref.58) daughter of Hugh IV and Elizabeth Lowther,was brought up in Salem and Nappan; attended school in Nappan and Amherst Academy; studied Home Economics at Macdonald College; has worked in departments in two hospitals. At present a medical secretary and likes it - feels she should have taken nursing. In 1952 she married Wi 11 iam M. Rochester (Bi 11) (son of H. C. and Mrs. Rochester, ex of Montreal, but now of Grimsby, Ontario)-a fellow student taking a short course while at Mac­ Donald. Bill has worked with Aluminium Co. of Canada as laboratory technician, with DeHaviland

49 Aircraft as specification writer, at present (1965) with Guelph Reformatory as Custodian Officer.

After further preparation at Toronto headquarters she set forth at 23, a girl of unusual poise and presence, to go to Belem, Brazil as a missionary with Un­ evangelized Fields Mission, and carry the gospel in Portuguese to the backward peoples of these malaria - infested tropical regions. In 1951 she married the Reverend Leslie Jantz, son of a farmer in Drake, Saskatchewan, but also a graduate of the Alberta Bible Institute, while they were working together along the Amazon· River in the accustomed launch and carrying on Bible teaching, and welfare work. They were home on furlough - their third - in 1964 visiting parents, relatives and friends across Canada and reporting their experience, hopes and needs to gatherings of their faith. Ac­ climatized as they were to the tropics, and having suffered from malaria, they were reported find­ ing the prairie winter uncomfortably cold. In 1966 they reported from Belem Brazil as being on new VII responsibi Ii ties at loca I headquarters. The Jantz's have three children: Timothy, born 1954;and twins Priscilla and Paul, born 1960.

VI JOSEPH CARSON MCPHERSON (Tab. Ref. 58) son of Stewart and Evelyn, also attended Prairie Bible Institute, and after working six years went to Nootka Mission Hospital. This hospital is a creation of the evangelical sect in which the McPherson family has played a major role. It offers service to al I and sundry, but being on the rugged west of Vancouver Island, most of the patients are fishermen, loggers, miners, or prospectors, and half of the total perhaps are native Indians. There in 1963 Joseph married Dr. Madeline Gereluk, another Bible Institute graduate who trained for a doctor in Edmonton and interned in Victoria B.C. While interning she received her pilot's license - an asset essential in her work. In the hospital she rates Assistant Doctor. Joseph and she VII have one child, John Stewart McPherson, born 1964.

60 BOOK 111 Progeny of Thomas and Elizabeth Bent

The Fowlers and the Bancrofts

111 ROSAN NA LOGAN (Tab. Ref .78) 1818 - 1900 first chi Id of Thomas Logan and Elizabeth Bent, was born and brought up in Amherst Pt. When 21 she married Wi 11 iam Fowler, a stonemason prob­ ably of U. E. L. parentage and 25 years her senior. They apparently made their home in Amherst and had 10 children, all but one of whom lived into maturity and married. Their names and the genealogical detai Is of their progeny across five generations, as far as uncovered by our study, is set forth in table p.78. It is interesting to note that the lines starting with ten married couples in Generation IV had dropped to four after Generation V. A more detailed research ~ou Id bring out how the genealogical base of this complex family was extended again in the period of Gen­ eration V. In the earlier period there is evidence of close association and reliance on mutual helpfulness among brothers and sisters and cousins which becomes less conspicious later. IV Coming to the particular: let's meet Clara and Anna Fowler the oldest of Rosannah 's child- ren. We know nothing of their childhood but presumably they were brought up in Amherst. From their niece Dorothy Fowler, daughter of Winfred, Rosannah's tenth child, we learn that "Aunt Clara Starrat taught music at Mt. Allison" (Sackville} and "Aunt Anna Goodspeed taught Art t-he-re. 11 Also that both were talented women and that Winfred's daughters "have some of Anna's work in their home which is outstanding. 11 Anna married Calvin Goodspeed distinguished professor of philosophy, and at one time president of McMaster University. They left no children. Clara married Beniamin Starrat. They lived in Lawrencetown Nova Scotia, had a son Harry and a daughter Elizabeth. Harry was married three times; spent part of his life in Ottawa, perhaps in Civil Service, and died there childless at 83. Elizabeth lived part of her life in Bermuda. She died unmarried. Returning to Winfred· Fowler, he Iived from 1856 to 1912, was by profession an accountant and at the time of his premature death was in the employ of the Canada Car Company in Amherst. At one time he lived for a period with his sisters Clara and Anna in their Sackville home. He married Laura Atkinson, daughter of William Atkinson, Amherst merchant, and Mary LaBina Bent V of E. Leicester. They had three daughters: Helen, a wel I known florist of Amherst; Ethel, invalid and early deceased; and Dorothy,an official.of the Victorian Order of Nurses, and Supervisor for Nova Scotia and Newfoundland for many years, and later Regional Director. (Is a much appreciated contributor of information to this family tree study). From her home with her sister in Amherst where both sti 11 Iive she moved out on visits to her branch areas. At one of the latter in the Valley she regularly made temporary headquarters in Wolfville at the home of a favourite cousin Professor Merle Bancroft and hh wife Edna Payne. IV WILLIAM FOWLER II (Tab. Ref .78) born 1844, the first son of Rosannah and Wm. I. lived in Amherst and is believed to have been a tailor dealing in mens 1 clothing. He was three times y married in a comparatively short life. By his first wife Elizabeth Mills he had two sons Carl and Herbert. ~ had a smal I farm and owned a lot of real estate inherited from his maternal grandmother. He opened two streets in Amherst: North Adelaide and Herbert - the latter named after his brother who went West and died in B.C. During his later years Carl lived with his cousins - Helen, Ethel and Dorothy. · Reserving for the moment his second marriage, William Fowler 1 s third wife Alexandrine Bayley had two children MacKenzie and Constance. Constance married Ted Fri th and they Iived on Turk Island and occasionally visited the Winfred Fowlers. They died without offspring. Con­ cerning MacKenzie Fowler we have no information.

61 Will's progeny by his second wife were more durable. Jessica Bayley had 2 daughters, Ellen Louise and Jenny. These were years when the sailing ship was extending trade, travel and cul­ ture. But significant too were the friendly ways of relatives in shaping the future of branches. Ellen Fowler, 6th daughter of Rosanna and sister of Will, lent a hand with his family. She was the wife of Wm. T. James, merchant and hotel owner in Bermuda. She had gone there as a teach­ er. After their marriage they divided their time and their entertaining between Bermuda and Par­ adise, N. S. Now they invited Ellen Louise to come to Bermuda. She accepted and lived in their home. Shortly, without return to Nova Scotia, she married Lewis Martin, a business executive of Ber­ muda. They had a son and 3 daughters: Lewis W., Margaret, Florence and Sybil; and, still in Bermuda, all were raised and educated. Later they lived in New Jersey, Boston and Vermont. It was out of this background and in this later American environment that Lewis W. Martin married Dorothy Hodgkins and raised two sons to live in Grosse Pointe, Michigan; that Margaret Martin married the world traveller J. Norman Gaiser and raised the interesting artist and architect, Langdon Gaiser, graduate of Harvard, with his studio in New York City, his connections in Paris and yearly travels in Europe in search of architectural treasure. It was from this background also and little if any personal contact with Nova Scotia, that V Florence married Eugene James Webber and lived in Dorset, Vermont, and Sybil married Harold VI John Ames and raised John Quincy and Ruth Evelyn in Concord Mass.; and that later John Quincy in turn married Martha Ames Winslow in Concord, Mass.

IV ELIZABETH FOWLER (BESS) (Tab. Ref .78) was born in 1848 in Amherst Point. Her father died when she was nine years old, and she was sent to live with a friend of the family in Sackville N.B., where she attended Mount Al I ison Seminary. She married James Baird, born and raised in West Leicester - his parents of Yorkshire lineage - had early become a skilled tradesman, with occupa­ tion including masonry and contracting. James left home at 20, and after marriage, the family lived in Oxford for most of his working life; but in 1914 for his health and shorter working hours, he and family left Nova Scotia, to I ive in Martha I s Vineyard Mass. There at Oak Bluffs in the Vineyard he died in 1924; Elizabeth in 1930. They left three daughters, al I born and raised in Nova Scotia, but lost to Canada in V their maturity. Their names: Hazel, Maud, and Jean.

V and VI Concerning the members of the three generations of Janes I progeny our genealogical record­ ing as found in tables p.80-81 is fairly complete, but our knowledge of them as persons - their work, their interests, their problems - is unexplored and sketchy.

The Matthew Adams Logans MATTHEW ADAMS LOGAN (Tab. Ref.82) born in 1834 in Amherst Pt. was the eighth child and the older of the two sons of Thomas Logan and Elizabeth Bent. Little is known of his formal education but in maturity he expressed himself well orally and he wrote a beautiful hand, as seen in books of accounts handed down. As he grew up he shared with Thomas the latter I s surveying and work on the big home farm. In 1863 he engaged in the manufacture of grindstones, and at th is he did an extensive business for five years. In 1868 he purchased the home farm from his father and continued there steadily until 1899 when he sold out to his sons,Stanley and Lorne. In 1869 he married Clara Seaman of Barronsfield the daughter of Job Seaman Sr. and his wife. In the early seventies,as clerk to the dyke commis­ sioners he was prominent in the building of abiteaux across Forrest Creek with attending dykes, and distribution of costs to the marsh holders. In 1886 he was appointed Sheriff of Cumberland. Later when he so Id the farm he bought another place nearer the Court House - the place now occup­ ied by Courtney Lusby - where he and his wife (and younger family members) lived until his death. One remembers the Sheriff as a confident personality, square-shouldered, quick moving, decisive, with a breezy, compelling laugh. His family, however, recall another side, namely that he was an ai Iing man through most of his years in office; that he suffered a heart condition 71 calling for constant attention to diet, and succumbed finally to angina pectoris; also, that he was over generous with friends in need and through signing notes for certain of them seriously reduced his family's financial condition. They recall, too, his firm discipline as a father while respecting his quality and citizenship. In politics he was a staunch Liberal. Further, he was against Confedera­ tion, ho Iding it wou Id not work. As a producer of goods at Bay of Fundy headwaters he was keen for trade with New England. H~ never travel led on a train; horse and carriage were his means of transportation. With four sons advancing into manhood his interest continued in farming. Clara Seaman had the advantage of a well-trained governess, who was employed by the Seaman and Read families when they lived close together in Barronsfleld, the Seamans at the Birches, the Reads at Glenburn Farm. "Much of what Miss Webster taught them was passed on to the next generation", remarks daughter Laura. Clara was sent also to high school in Boston, where she graduated, and the results of this too may be seen perhaps in her winning ways, as witness the following happening. Matthew and Clara who were faithful attendants of the Amherst Baptist Church had hired a Newfoundland girl, Mary Escott, at $5.00 a month - one of three sisters who had come to Amherst. Recognizing her as a Catholic they took her to the Catholic Church each Sunday on their way to the Baptist building. Clara too, always invited Mary to go with her to prayer meeting at midweek. It was not long unti I Mary ioined the Baptist Church. Her two sisters followed suit. Mary later studied nursing and married an engineer. (Ref. unpublished letters of Laura). Matthew and Clara lived useful lives with their contacts and their interests embracing a wider community than most people of their generation. They did this too without direct benefit of railway; horse and carriage, and ferry boat serving their purposes. Their course however, was not without its periods of stress and strain. Their first born child died at six years of age, and later they had to make their sacrifices in financing the education of their children; the mother, however, as a good executive and capable seamstress, met these challenges bravely until her health gave out. Laura tel Is about her mother making al I her clothes when she went to Acadia as she had always done before. They had five children; Stanley, Carl, Lorne, Laura and Hubert. IV Of the sons of Matthew and Clara Logan, Stanley the oldest and Lorne the third, had best be considered together. Both grew up on the Amherst Point Farm, attended school there and at Amherst Academy. Thereafter Stanley went further along with three other sons of Amherst families - and took a business course in a mens college in Bellville, Ont. Lorne, eight years younger, re­ mained steadily at home, driving back and forth to high school with his father {now sheriff) and helping with the Iivestock. Stanley after returning kept books for the Shulee Lumber Co. for a time, then married and bought a farm at Bay Verte, but sold it three years later and returned to Amherst Point. The turn of the century was a time when great changes were taking place in the organization and manner of stock raising. Attention was turning increasingly to improvement, through importing and mating piomi sing types within the different breeds. Loco 11 y, ground work had been done recent Iy by the firm of Jos. Page and sons of Amherst, in introducing black and white holstein cattle as a new contender in milk production, and the Government Experimental Farm in Nappan was present­ ing representative pure-breds of various breeds to the farmers. Natural Iy, the young representatives of generation IV at the Logan Farm were affected and alive to the new possibilities. Stanley drew Lorne into partnership and assisted financially by his father-in-law, bought their father I s farm - and the firm of Logan Bros. was in the pure-bred bus­ iness. One of its first moves was to purchase several foundation females for a herd from Page and Sons, {and some lesser types from the government herd.) Early.results were encouraging as the names of these females ranked high in competition, and by 1899 the brothers had purchased their first herd sires, and were showing in the exhibitions in the Maritime Provinces. From there the venture continued to thrive and its leaders advanced into territory beyond the Mari times. The Logan herd was the first in Nova Scotia to go to the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. In 1907 it won three out of four grand championship awards offered at the C. N. E. Both brothers were members of the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada, and both played their part as directors; Stanley serving also as President in 1911, and repeatedly as a Vice-Presi­ dent. As for division of labour in running the firm, Stanley was the business head while Lorne 72 was the acknowledged student of types and increasingly the authority in selecting, mating, and preparing for showing. As early as 1904 he was in demand also by wealthy herd owners in Ontario, to build and shape their herds for showing. Yielding to this demand and acting as head showman at the great exhibitions, he found himself in a good position to know the location of the finest specimens, and while serving the big owners of Central Canada, to select and. .. trade also with advantage to Maritime herds, including the one at Amherst Point. His crowning recognition came when he was cal led on to show ·the Province of Ontario herd at the National Dairy Show in Chic­ ago, a tribute that came to him more than once. 11 A member of the Canadian Association steadily since 1898", writes George Reaman in his History of the Holstein Friesian Breed in Canada, 11 his advice is sought keenly by new as well as experienced breeders." Now (1966) at 88 he lives with his daughters in Grand Pre and Montreal and as oldest member of the Association, attends its annual meeting in Toronto, known to all dairymen in his seat opposite the show ring. An introvert with mind largely captured in a single interest his great gift to his country is beyond doubt showing in black and white in hundreds of fine pastures across Canada. But remin­ iscing upon those tough and exciting days of exhibitions and preparations he prizes among his top accomplishments the 11 Boys 11 he brought forward in the work: such as the "Hay Boys" of Brockville, "Innis Boys 11 of Woodstock, Courtney Lusby of Amherst, and the Hayes Boys of Calgary and Toronto, (one of whom - today, 1965 - is Canada 1 s Minister of Agriculture). To return to Stanley, we find him since early in the century, while still in the partnership, attracted to various salaried services. He was l) Farm Manager at the N. S. Agricultural College at Truro 1906-08, 2) Nova Scotia Director to the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, with responsibility for collecting and grading of wool, and with the return of peace in 1918, 3) Dir­ ector of land settlement of returned soldiers in Nova Scotia. Marriage: At an early age he married 011 ie Kei I lor, daughter of Thompson Kei I lor and Ellen Chappell, and sister of the late Will Keillor well-known Amherst Point farmer. (The Keillors are of early Yorkshire stock.) 011 ie was a graduate of Amherst High School, and attended Acadia. She was a patron of sociability, an enthusiastic contributor to good causes, a good citizen. They had six children, and their progeny numbered through two generations and into a third, is one of the most extensive of the Tree's branches • Their children's names: Wilfred, Eleanor, Austen, Vaughan, Lucy-Jean, and Kenneth. All are living except Lucy-Jean. Stanley and Ollie are both deceased. IV Lorne I s marriage partner was Sadie Calhoun, daughter of Thomas Calhoun of Calhoun I s Mills N.B. and Eunice Freeman, sister of Samuel Freeman of Amherst. They I ived in various parts of Canada fol lowing his somewhat nomadic way of I ife, but settled notably in Edmonton, Sioux Ste. Marie and Sussex. In retirement they settled in Wolf­ ville in his sister Laura's newly acquired and improved home where they indulged their fancy and native competence in selecting and growing flowers and shrubs. · To them were born two daughters: Elizabeth and Lois. Sadie died in 1960 and was buried in Wolfville Cemetery. IV Carl, the second son of Sheriff Logan, made cheese and butter at the Creamery in Nappan. Later, at the time of his father I s death he assisted in the transfer period before the appointment of a new sheriff at the court house in Amherst. Soon thereafter he went to Moose Jaw, where he became associated with the International Harvester Co. He was twice married, his first wife being Althea Phalen of Amherst and a teacher at the West Amherst School. She died early having given birth to one chi Id, Ralph, who died at the age of one year. His second wife was Alice Downey of Amherst, the dough ter of Ceptai n Wi 11 iam Downey. She returned to Amherst after Carl I s death in 1938.

IV LAURA REBECCA (Tab. Ref .83) Outstanding among the gifts of the Logan family to human health and welfare, is conceded to have come via Laura, born in 1879. Only daughter of Sheriff Mat­ thew Adams Logan and his wife Clara Seaman. From a happy childhood in Amherst Point with occasional contacts with a second loved home in Barronsfield, Laura passed through schools at Amherst Point and Amherst Academy and on through Acadia for a B.A. degree in 1901 {age 22). Eluding Cupid by fast foot-work she chose to serve in the cause of health. Her first inclin- 73 ation was to train for a doctor. But from this she was dissuaded and instead entered the nurse I s course at Mt. Sinai Training School for Nurses, New York City. Graduating after three years she took up private nursing in the city, but in 1908 was appointed Supervisor and Instructor of Nurses at the schoo I. From then on for the next forty-five years (except for three years research abroad), she was engaged as administrative head in no less than nine different nursing schools of high mark in the United States, in various leadership capacities. Fol lowing two years at Mt. Sinai they were: Superintendent and Principal of School of Nurses at Hope Hospital Fort Wayne, Indiana, 1911-13: Director of School of Nursing, Cincinnati General Hospital 1914-15; Director of School of Nursing and Health, University of Cincinnati 1916-24; Dean of Illinois Training School for Nurses, 1924-29; Dean of Summer Term, University of Chicago 1925; Director Cook County Nursing School, Chicago 1929-32; Director of School of Nursing, Flower, 5th Avenue, New York, 1936-37; Director of School of Nursing Boston City Hospital 1937-40; Director of School of Nursing, St. Louis City Hospital 1941-53. During 1933 she travel led in Europe and thereafter was on a Rockefeller Foundation Scholar­ ship, inspecting schools of nursing for practices and ideas in twelve different countries, but notably in Scandinavia. She was long a member of the National League of Nursing Education of the United States and its President 1922-24. Basic through it al I has run the fine performance of a sincere teacher and couragious pleader for better schools and better recognition for the nursing profession. She has held to her standards and been impatient of weakness where good performance is vital, and has struck hard especially at weakness having its origins in political and business officialdom. In this busy life, she always found time to provide a home for her widowed mother and to be with her as much as she could. Academically, in addition to the Arts degree of Acadia, she took a B.Sc. from Columbia in 1908, a M.A. Acadia in 1909, and was honoured with a D.C.L. by the latter in 1938. A world traveller with open eyes she has been a discriminating collector of Chinese art and an amateur artist of proven competence. In company she is a humourous and creative conversation­ alist and at home a gracious hostess. IV Hubert: Youngest son of Matthew and C Iara Logan, born 1882, Amherst Point. Attended school at the Point and in Amherst. Gay and irresponsible. Went west. Lived some years in British Columbia. Married. Lived in Chicago where wife died in Cook County Hospital. Later whereabouts unknown.

V Progeny of Stanley Logan and 011 ie Kei I lor

Of the six children of Stanley and Ollie, all were born and took their public school educa­ tion at Amherst Point. (Tab. Ref .82} The passage of a half-century finds them scattered geographically and occupationally. Only one is engaged wholly in self.directed farming on personal account, and that one in Alberta. This V is Wilfred the oldest who after a try-out at home went West on a harvest excursion, remained there, took out a claim and married Lena Cox of Jarvis, Alberta, the daughter of a rancher. They have a family of seven, all or most of whom are associated with agriculture, ranching or trucking, as they have reached the locally appropriate age. Their names are found on chart V Two other of the sons, Austin and Kenneth, finding themselves succeeding to or placed on adjacent farms by their father, carried the home - end operation of the Logan Brothers partnership for a period of years. But the time came when they parted and turned back to individual farming, Austin continuing on the home farm with pure-breds and artificial breeding, while Kenneth operated the old David Dickie Logan place which Stanley had acquired and turned over to him earlier. Austin, thereupon, became responsible alone for the barn of registered Holsteins. Increasingly, Vl however, he leaned upon Donald, Gordon and Malcolm - all three of whom had their 11th grade diplomas, and the two younger their two years at Nova Scotia 1 s Agricultural College as well. They showed up impressively in the 4-H club competitions and at judging of the pure-breds. V The time came when Austin turned his time and energies away from active participation in farming, to a position under the Federal Government - namely.,Record Performance Inspector of Mi I k Production for pure-bred herds, a job which requires trove 11 i ng over defined portions of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and consequently absence from home.

74 VI As_a result,the central figure has come to be Donald, eldest son, who has his own house, alongside the larger one of his parents which stands on the site of the original home of Thomas and the Sheriff; the last having been destroyed by fire many years ago. V Austin's wife is Ethel Clark, daughter of Henry Clark of Tatamagouche. They are Baptists, VI Liberal in politics and active in community affairs. Living with them (1965) are their daughter VI I Ruth and son Malcolm. Donald's wife is Kathleen Moore of Linden, their children are Stephen Keillor and Major Jean. VI Gordon - Austen and Ethel 1 s second son - lives in Weston, Ont. With education similar to that of his brothers he works with Kingsway Transport, Toronto; is married to June Dodds and they have a daughter Glenda Lynn. Malcolm, third son and former winner for Nova Scotia in 4-H contests, and in judging Hol­ steins, is at present working in Amherst but looks forward to farming. Wife is Medley Coates. Ruth, only daughter is at present at home with her parents and finding lots to do. V Kenneth, like Austen, took a salaried position outside the farm with the Nova Scotia Power Commission and later took on another, that of driving the mail, which responsibility he shared with his wife. The two new jobs meant only a partial family dependence on the farm - a condition in­ creasingly common to Chiqnecto farmers who have surrendered their marshes to the tides. His wife is Freda Langille d. Henry and Florence Blair Langille, the first a former Superintendent of Oxford Foundry (now both deceased). She is at present assisting Miss Dorothy Fowler in flower store Amherst. She and Kenneth have had six children, all brought up in the old David Dickey Logan Home: VI their names: Richard, Lennie, Ollie, David, Elizabeth (Beth) and Frederic. Considered further: Richard is an employee Union Carbide, Amherst; he married Bern ice VI I Noonan of Hastings; they have two boys - Paul and Christopher and a chosen daughter Lisa Bernice. VI & VI I Lennie, married Ronald R. Estabrooks Undustrial Engineer with Enamel Heating (air division) of Amherst. Their children are Rhonda Lynn, Jennifer Paige and Andrea Kelli . Ollie, married (in Amherst Pt. church) Stanley E. Williams, Electronics Technician with R.C.A.F. at St.. James, Manitoba. Their children are - Tracy Ann, Stacy Edward, Kenneth Stanley and Kevin Frederic. Of the three children at home David, 24, works with the same trucking firm as his father, as wel I as on the farm. He also has been a winner in 4-H competition. Beth (Clara Elizabeth) is with Pridham 1 s Book and China Shop in Amherst. Frederic: 16 still in school.

V VAUGHAN (Tab. Ref .82) third son of Stanley Logan and Ollie Keillor, studied agriculture and took degree M.S.A. at McGill. He has spent most of mature life in Ottawa at the Experimental Farm, except when at World War II whence he returned a Major; is a member of the Agricultural Institute of Canada; at this date of writing is in Rome on a three-year mission as advisor to F.A.0. (U.S. agricultural organization associated with the United Nations.) He expects to be spending time in New Delhi, Singapore, and places in Africa. With him are his wife Florine Robinson R. N., and two youngest children. With his wife and family, he is active in the United Church. He is also an enthusiastic curler. His son Douglas, Is attending the Univ. of British Columbia; his VI daughter, _Sue Carrol I is a high school graduate and sings in the church choir. Youn.ger son Robert is a student in Collegiate.

V ELEANOR (Tab. Ref .82) elder daughter of Stanley and 011 ie is a keen advocate of education, a fact which is reflected in the direction taken by her three sons. She is also a contributor to this volume. Born and brought up in Amherst Pt., after high school and a term at she married Ralph Langille of Tatamagouche. Ralph was formerly on the staff of the Experimental Farm, Nappan, and later associated with the N.S. Agricultural College, Truro; his work center­ ing on accounting but reaching into research. Together; Ralph with knowledge of horticulture and Eleanor as excellent housewife - take pride in their garden of flowers, in entertaining their guests. Their sons: Bruce, James and Alan, al I carry B. S. A. degrees from McG i 11. Bruce, who VI .,... I does research at Ottawa Experimental Farm, is a member of the Agricultural Institute of Canada.

75 He enjoys curling, hunting and fishing and with his wife,lris Wheeler - herself a B.Sc., attends United Church. They socialize frequently with Bruce's Uncle Vaughan and family. They have 1wo girls Linda and Laura. James is an agronomist, with education received at Nappan,Truro and MacDonald (McGill). With headquarters at Experimental Farm, Nappan, his work is chiefly research with publication of results; but on occasion speaks to farmers' groups and to other workers in research. Also collabor­ ates closely with the Provincial Dept. of Agriculture. Married to Gertrude Logan of Nappan, (p. 77) school teacher and daughter of Hugh, he has his home and children: Elizabeth, David and Richard in the village near the Government Farm. Alan, youngest son of Eleanor and Ralph, B.S.A. of McGill, M.S.A. Vermont, and Ph.D. Pennsylvania State, has recently joined the staff of University of Maine at Orono, Maine.

V LUCY JEAN (Tab. Ref.83) (now deceased) second daughter of Stanley and Ollie. With a high school diploma from Truro Academy, went to Chicago; there graduated North Western School of Nursing. Later took B.Sc. from North Western Univ. In 1929-32 she was staff nurse at Cook County Hospital, where at this time her Aunt Laura was Director; and then Head Nurse and later Supervisor at Children's Hospital in Chi-cago. Soon thereafter she married Philip Jeppson M.D.; was killed in traffic accident. VI To them were born three children: Philip Jr. Douglas and Eleanor J. - the last 1wo being 1wins. Of these Philip early became an invalid. Douglas and Eleanor J. both took freshman year at Northwestern. Douglas thereafter went into business, married and now they have two children - a boy and a girl. Eleanor took a nursing course at Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing, Chicago, and became an R. N. At one time she started studying toward a medical degree, but apparently has discontinued.

The Logan I s and The Robb I s

Ill EMELINE LOGAN (Tab. Ref.94) 1833-1919, daughter of David and Margaret Cumming Logan was born Amherst Pt., grew up and attended public school with Thomas' family of cousins next door. At 22 she married Alexander Robb - 28, son of Alexander Robb and Annie Brown of Leicester and grandson of John Robb of North Ireland. Alex, early in business for himself as a Tinsmith, with Yorkshire born Frederick Bulmer as a partner, soon developed wider interests; in 1848 he started Robb Engineering Works which later as Robb Engineering Co. Ltd., and officered by their own sons became a leading Manufacturing Company of Amherst selling its products over the contin­ ent and in Europe. At age 64 he died of Tuberculosis after a lingering illness leaving Emeline a widow for 28 years; and as such and as mother of four sons and one daughter, a prominent citizen of Amherst and beyond. From a granddaughter - now in her seventies in California - with whom she visited at times,

and who1 when a girl of 13,had spent some months with her in Amherst - we have the following statement:-

11 I knew grandmother Robb - very wel I. Though a large plain looking woman, she had great charm and intelligence. -- She was better informed than most women of her time. She read every­ thing (whether approved by others or not!), so her conversation was lively and interesting - she had 11 great strength of character - strong religious principles and I ived up to them • Names of children: David, Fred, Walter, "Aaigaret, Aubrey. She died from burns in an accident in her home. Was buried in Amherst cemetery beside her husband.

Ill Mary Ann 1835-1892; daughter of David and Margaret Cumming Logan, grew up in Amherst Pt., but spent most of mature life with sister Emeline in Amherst. She sang in Choir of St. Stephen 1 s Presbyterian Church and has been credited with suggesting its name (Amherst News Feb. 11, 1930). She never married. Was buried with parents West Amherst cemetery.

111 Charles 1838- son of David and Margaret lived most of life on home farm with father during lat­ ter Is life and later in Amherst. Very much an introvert he chose "to live by himself", in response 11 11 to his own shyness ; though it was said he was made happy by persons with the right approach.

Ill David N. 1841-1847; youngest son of David and Margaret - died age six - Buried W. Amherst cemetery.

IV DAVID WENTWORTH ROBB (Tab. Ref.94) born 1856-1938, son of Alexander and Emeline was born and grew up in Amherst, educated Amherst schools. In his early twenties was among the leaders of the progressive wing in the Presbyterian Church, breaking with the old order and American leadership; was the first organist using the newly acceptable instrument in the New Choir - also forbidden up to that time. A few years later, while still young, when his father became ill he accepted and carried effective I y the heavy responsibility of general manager and later president of the great company. On the civic front he was twice Mayor of Amherst and several times served as councillor. Appropriately in view of his two offices he became interested early in research on air pollution - particularly as caused by smoke. His wife was Ida Tupper daughter of Dr. Nathan Tupper, druggist of Amherst, and a niece of Sir Charles. Ida was interested in the work of the church with her husband and a coloured window bespoke and added feeling to their faith. They lived on N.E. corner Church and Robie Sts. in the large house still standing 1966. They had two sons, Roland and Wendell and a daughter Vera.

In retirement 1955 went into farming "in a small way" featuring especially l 00 acres of A Ifa Ifa with four crops a year to be dehydrated and so Id for feed.

IV Frederick B. Robb, 1857-97, was 17 years old when his father Alexander's health failed and his brother and he took over the Robb Engineering Works. Interrupted in his course at Dalhousie he became Secretary-Treasurer which office included Finance, Employment and Personnel. Briefly stated his credo was simple and direct: he rewarded departmental success with expansion and treated employees like fellow-men: took them home to dinner when first apprenticed and gave the right of every man to submit his case to him personally before discharge. Outside his work he had many interests: he was an elder in St. Stephen I s Church, sang in the choir and conducted the Bible Class. He started the Y.M.C.A. Branch in Amherst in 1882; took an active interest in the welfare of Railway men in the Maritimes. His interest in Boys' Work led him to the Maritime Y.M.C.A. 11 11 11 11 Boys' Camp, where he was a leader • In July 1897 on Fatigue Duty the day before he died he worked very hard and the following morning lost his life in the water apparently from heart failure. His wife was Jessie Macfarlane daughter of scholarly John Macfarlane of Wal lace N. S., and niece of Senator AlexanderMacFarlane.

Olivia is an artist and Joseph owns a Machine Company and in the union of such compensatory practitioners the generations have gathered and increased in this land of beautiful flowers and VII ideal climate. Of their three children - Jacqueline, Joel and Jil - the last at 20 years is secre­ tary and receptionist in her father's office; their son Joel, having just returned (1967) from a year in Vietnam with 173rd Airborne Division has as a business a nursery (plants). Jacqueline the eldest (6. 1942) with her husband Wm. McColough, and two Pttle girls - Leslie and Laurie - has her home in nearby Encinnitas - celebrated for its flowers and enormous nurseries and shipping activities. VI Olivia's home is on a hill in view of the sea and the beach with its surf-boarding and swim­ V ming; and not far away on another small hill in a cottage of her own is Marguerite - a youngster of 78 - born that long ago in Amherst in view of Fundy Tides and darker and rougher waters. It was she who told us all this as an addition to the true story of our Family Tree .

NOTES

96 BOOK V

Progeny of James Logan 1797 - 1875 and Reb~cca Cumming.

About James and Rebecca I s descendants (Tab. Ref. 98) our know Iedge is Ii mi ted most Iy to West Amherst graveyard offerings and a single first hand contact with one brother and sister of genera­ tion IV. James, we have seen, parted with his Salem land rather early, selling part of it - perhaps all - to his father in 1821 and moved to West Amherst and his holding on the South side of the road, West of the Crawford Hill side road. (Read following with attention to Table). Their first child Rebecca 1832-72 was followed by 5 others - one pair of them twins - during the next 21 years. None of them reached o Id age though Matthew outlasted the others. George was owner of some marsh which he sold to his father through his brother Thomas as intermediary when he - George - went to Massachusetts. He married Emeline Smith and after his early death his widow married 11 EI isha Coates and I ived many years back on the hi I l 11. Rupert, much younger than the rest, had work in town, married and I ived there. Upon his death, at 45, his widow bought him a separate buria I plot with stone in the West Amherst cemetery where later she also was laid. The others of generation Ill, along with their father and mother, are buried together near the cemetery gate and the messages written there on the disintegrating stone are increasingly hard to decipher.

Matthew, with a wife whose surname we have failed to determine, had three children - per­ haps more. The two however we came to know were Barry and Minnie. When Matthew died, after a long illness, Barry a lad of 16, or thereabout, came to live with his second cousin Amos, on the farm, and remained there as a working family member for 6 to 8 years. He then struck out on his own; went West on a harvest excursion. At the end of the harvest he went on; located at Grand Forks B. C. where he married and made his home. His daughter Jean, a we I I-known employee of the Te le phone Company, married a Mr. Petherick of Vancouver, also associated with the Company. They settled in Vancouver West; had a chi Id - perhaps two - when the husband died. Further information was sought, but letters not answered. Barry too is long since dead. The sister Minnie lived with Amos 1 family only briefly; no knowledge of her whereabouts; one report associated her with St. John, N.B~ The one sure living representative of the promising line of James and Rebecca Cumming is a child - maybe two - in Vancouver.

Progeny of Rebecca Logan ( 1801 - 1872} and James Bliss.

Sarah J. (read with Table, p. 98) oldest daughter of Rebecca and James Bliss, became 2nd wife of Hiram Pugsley, house builder and successful speculator, first in River Hebert and later in Amherst. They left no children but were well-to-do. Sarah died at 56 and was buried in the Amherst High­ land Cemetery in the Pugsley plot, where also her mother I ies. Mary A., second daughter of Rebecca, married Lewis Embree, a farmer of Fort Lawrence. During her twenties she gave birth to two boys and a girl, of whom only one -the girl Sarah El la -had offspring. Sara Ella married Benjamin Chandler and had four children: Mabel, Marie, Nellie and Carswe 11 •

The two spouses - Embree and Chandler - thus brought into th is branch - were both U. E. L. stock, Anglican, and well rewarded for their loyalty. Embree 1 s father had been a Senior Officer in New York 1 s loyal cavalry. Two Chandlers in succession were appointed sheriffs of Cumberland. The Table suggests however they were not given to marrying and large families; and the branch continues to stand in danger of extinction. Of Sarah Ellen's and Benjamin Chandler's four children, only one - Nellie - has met the double challenge. About her husband - Mr. Bonk (perhaps Bank) - and three children, we know nothing, except that they probably live in the Canadian West.
