Anecdote (fam)

. Thomas Turnbull with his wife Jane (Jean) and children came to Pictou County in 1776 with a group of 15 families from the ill-starred Scottish settlement at Trois Rivieres, now Georgetown, P.E.I. Most of these settlers came from Dumfrieshire, Scotland, some in 1774 and the rest in 1775, on the sailing vessel Lovely Nelly, from the port of Carsethorn. On its 1775 voyage the Lovely Nelly stopped at Douglas, Isle of Man, to take on Thomas Trumbell, his wife Jean Mackay and their three children. The passenger list describes the Trumbells as having "Run away from this place", that is, as fugitives from Scotland. The names of the children are not given. (From Emigrants from Scotland to America 1774-1775 by Viola Root Cameron, Genealogical Book Co., Baltimore, Md., 1959. This passenger list was republished in The Island Magazine No. 2, 1977, The Heritage Foundation, Charlottetown, P.E.I.)

The story of the hardships endured by the Scots at Trois Rivieres, P.E.I., is found in two books by Rev. George Patterson (Memoir of the Rev. James MacGregor D.D. Philadelphia: J.M Wilson, 1859,533 pp. and A History of the County of Pictou, Nova Scotia, Montreal: Dawson Bros., 1877, 471 pp). MacGregor, who was Patterson's grandfather, came to the County in 1786 and heard the story first hand. Their first crop was devoured by mice which plagued P .E.!. in the early days of settlement and from which the town of Souris (French for mouse) takes its name. New seed potatoes were procured from N.S. and planted in the spring of 1775 but these too were eaten while still in the ground by the hungry mice. The
settlers survived on clams and lobsters. The arrival of the second boat load of settlers, including the Tumbulls, brought fresh hope and a new supply of provisions. Unfortunately the American Revolution was just beginning and the warehouse containing their winter provisions was plundered of all its contents by American fishermen. Consequently the Scots settlers were reduced to famine during the winter of 1775-76.
"That winter they would have perished, were it not for a French settlement some miles distant, from which they received supplies, principally of potatoes, in exchange for the clothing they had brought with them from Scotland, until they scarcely retained sufficient to clothe themselves decently. From scarcity of food the men became reduced to such a state of weakness, and the snow was so deep, that they became at last scarcely able to carry back provisions for their families, and when, with slow steps and heavy labour, they brought them home, such was the state of weakness in which they had left their children, they trembled to enter their dwellings, lest they should find them dead, and sometimes waited at the door, listening for any sound that might indicate that they were alive." - from Patterson's 1877 History. The French provisioners would be remnant Acadians who eluded the British during the P .E.I. clearances of 1758.
Patterson adds in a footnote: "One old woman, living in 1831, used to tell that for three months her children had neither bread nor potatoes. During that time their food was principally shell-fish and boiled beech leaves. One calamity she describes as having tried them severely. They had brought with them iron pots, but not knowing the severity of the frost of this country, had left water in them, by the freezing of which they were cracked. In their circumstances, believing that they could not obtain others nearer than Scotland, and seeing no hope of obtaining them there, she said that the loss was next to the loss of a child." The unidentified old woman could well be the widow Jane Tumbull, who lived until 1841.
In the spring of 1776 the settlers sent one of their number to Pictou and his favourable report induced 15 families to move there. Thomas Turnbull obtained a land grant of 220 acres on the east side of the East River, Pictou Co., opposite the present town of Stellarton, the grant dated August 26, 1783. (This grant turned out to be in the centre of the Pictou coal field and was the site of the surface plant of the illfated Westray coal mine that exploded in 1992, killing 26 men.) Patterson's History, Appendix A, indicates that Thomas Turnbull was to receive an additional 180 acres in an "after division". The Crown Land Grants Index Maps 87 and 93, compiled by the N.S. Department of Lands and Forests, show the 220 acres but not the 180 acres. However an old poll tax assessment roll in the Public Archives of N. S. (PANS) entitled, "A list of the inhabitants of the East River Up. Sett. with the quantity of land, cattle, horses, etc., etc. for stiepens the year 1789", shows that Thomas Turnbull had 400 acres and 6 cows. He was assessed 1 pound 3 shillings for 2 polls, that is men oflegal age, the second presumably his son Thomas.
An earlier record of Thomas Turnbull in Pictou County is on "A roll of the inhabitants of Pictou or Tinmouth capable to bear arms" dated February 12, 1783. He is recorded as "Thomas Trimble" on the original but Patterson's History, Appendix E, renders this as "Thomas Turnbull". Thomas Turnbull died about 1804, without leaving a will. The District of Pictou census of 1817 lists "Widdow" Turnbull, living alone. The death notice of a Mrs. Jane Tumbull, aged 97, one of the first East River settlers, was published in the newspaper Mechanic and Farmer, February 3, 1841 (from The Pictou Book by George MacLaren, Hector Pub. Co. Ltd. New Glasgow, 1954). She could be none other than the wife of Thomas the pioneer.

The children of Thomas and Jane Turnbull, pioneers, can be identified by a settlement among his heirs dated February 23, 1805, and recorded in the Pictou Registry Office, Book 7, p. 180. James Turnbull was released of further obligation by the other heirs, John Cassidy and his wife Margaret (my ancestors), James Cassidy and his wife Martha, Donald Turnbull, Thomas Turnbull and Benjamin Turnbull, all of "Pictou". I have given the six Turnbull children code numbers based on their presumed birth order. One might guess from the order of names on the release that James was the oldest, followed by Donald, Thomas and Benjamin. However, since three children sailed with their parents from the Isle of Man, and their death records indicate that Thomas and Margaret were two of them, I conclude that James was the third, and that Donald, Benjamin and Martha were born in Canada. It is clear that the two Cassidy men married Turnbull sisters, and so came to share in Thomas the pioneer's estate. The households of these men are listed in the 1817 census as follows (compiled by A1lan C. Dunlop, published by PANS, Halifax, 1979, 151pp.):

. Thomas Turnbull with his wife Jane (Jean) and children came to Pictou County in 1776 with a group of 15 families from the ill-starred Scottish settlement at Trois Rivieres, now Georgetown, P.E.I.

Anecdote

MARGARET TURNBULL, born ca. 1767 as calculated from age 94 for her in the 1861 census of Entry Island, Magdalen Islands, P.Q. However her death of consumption at age 106 on July 6, 1870 as recorded in Return of Deaths, census of 1871 and on her death certificate in the Musee de la Mer, Havre Aubert, M.l., would make her born ca. 1764. Her country of birth is given as Scotland in the 1861 census.
Peggy Tumbull was married to JOHN CASSIDY on October 24, 1793 by the Rev. James MacGregor (lames Church and The Pictou Book). Patterson's History, p. 160, says "In the year 1788 or 1789 came a number of Lowland Scotch, principally from Dumfries, who settled in various parts of the county. Among these may be mentioned John Cassidy who settled on McLennan's Brook. ... " Further, on page 228, "There were on McLennan's Brook in 1801 the following settlers Thomas Tumbull ... and John and James Cassidy". McLennan's Brook is now called McLellans Brook.
In 1793, 100 acres of land on the Little Harbor Road about one mile outside the present limits of New Glasgow were conveyed to John Cassidy. This was part of the estate of one Isaac Wearing, "of whom John Cassidy is lawful heir and administrator" (Pictou Registry of Deeds, Book 1B, p. 124). Were they related? The same month John deeded Wearing's farm to Edward Mortimer, well know merchant and politician, who figured in Cassidy financial transactions for many years. Between then and 1828 I counted 7 additional land transactions of John, selling or mortgaging (one cannot tell which from the records) 100 acre lots at "East River" and McLellans Brook. As far as I can determine from the descriptions, John's home farm of 100 acres at McLellans Brook was probably the second farm north from the 100 acres granted to James Cassidy in 1803 and is marked "Evan Cameron" in the Illustrated Historical Atlas of Pictou Co., 1879, (Section 15, p. 57). James' farm is marked "Donald Cameron" in the atlas. John deeded or mortgaged his farm several times, first to Edward Mortimer, merchant and politician, on January 3, 1811 (Book 4, p.78). On November 30, 1820 James Cassidy Junior, son of John Cassidy, renounced his claim to the farm for 5 shillings (Book 8, p. 178). In 1828, the executors of the estate of Edward Mortimer foreclosed on John (Book 12, p. 357), using the deed of 181l.
Margaret and John Cassidy are the only members of the second generation whose story has come down to me by living memory, from their g.g.grand daughter Miss Martha Matilda (Til) Buck, b.1891, d. 1979. I met her first in 1966 on Grindstone Island, M.I., her birth place and to where she retired after a career of working in a dental office in Haverhill, Mass. Later she moved to the Glenhaven Home for seniors in New Glasgow, where I interviewed her in 1977. Til said that John Cassidy was the first school teacher on Entry Island, where he lived to be 104, and that he was involved in education before leaving N.S., perhaps as a school inspector. Til's mother had one of John's copy books in his beautiful handwriting. As for Margaret, Til recalled that Til's grandmother had a grandmother Cassidy. "They called her
grandmammy Cassidy, the Queen of Cooks". Til said that making cheese and curds were her specialties. (Til also told me that I was descended from John Cassidy, as I recorded in the 1978 version of this study, but the 1865 Anglican burial record of my g.g.grandfather James Cassidy of Amherst I. gave his father's name as James Cassidy, so I changed my ancestry for the 1985 version of this study. However, Anglican Church records sent to me by Byron Clark in 1997 showed there were two James Cassidys of the third generation. James, "the second son of James and Martha Cassidy", was married in Bonaventure Co., Que in 1836 at the same time as my James Cassidy was raising a family on Amberst I. The parentage on the death certificate of James of Amherst I. has to be incorrect and Til Buck was right after all.)
John and Margaret Cassidy presumably moved to Entry Island in the early 1830's because they are not in the M.I.. census of 1831 nor in the Pictou Co. census on 1838. John's gravestone in the Old Cemetery of Entry I. reads: "In memory of JOHN CASSIDY - schoohnaster - a native of Ireland, died 28th November, 1842 aged 85 years." My daughter Elizabeth and I visited Entry Island in 1976 and walked past this cemetery without noticing it. Byron Clark, who sent me a photograph of the grave stone, said the cemetery was then hidden by brambles.
I can identify for certain only two children of John and Margaret Cassidy: Nancy and James. 7 (unless he is the James Cassidy, potter in the New Glasgow census of 1861) Nancy (2.1) was born ca. 1795 and married David Dickson. They settled on Entry Island, M.I. ca. 1822, where their household was recorded in the 1831 census. The baptism register of Rev. James MacGregor has an entry on October 25, 1795 for John Cassidy, with no name recorded for the child. MacGregor seems to have kept his register like a diary, and made entries at the end of the day, or later, after he had forgotten some of the names, but this date fits the probable birth year of Nancy Dickson. James Cassidy (2.2) renounced his claim to his father's farm in 1820, married Mary Ivory in N.B. in 1829, and raised a family on Amherst Island (Havre Aubert), M.I. where he died in 1865.¹

Anecdote

James Cassidy (2.2) presumably was one of the three James Cassidys on the Mirimachi 1825 Fire Losses List. On Sept. 26, 1827 he married Mary Avery of Addington Parish, N.B., which is on the Bay of Chaleur, just west of Campbellton, N.B.( from a list of marriages ofRestigouche Co., N.B. registered in Gloucester Co., posted on the Internet by Irene Doyle, Campbellton). Mary's brother, Richard Ivory, also suffered losses in the Miramichi fire and later moved to Bathurst where he married Sally Blair in 1840 and had four daughters baptized (register of Sainte-Famille, Bathurst). James and Mary Cassidy moved across the Bay of Chaleur, to Nouvelle, Bonaventure Co., Que. The 1831 census for Bonaventure Co. records that James Cassidy had three young children (no names given) and belonged to the Church of England. He rented 100 acres of seigniorial land for 40 shillings yearly. Only
4 acres were cultivated (wheat, oats, potatoes) and he had 1 horse, 1 sheep, 2 pigs and no cows.
