Other Life Events

AnecdoteBENJAMIN TURNBULL.On July 14, 1810 he purchased 50 acres ofland from his brother Donald for 60 pounds. It was part of Donald's farm on the Little Harbour Road called Smelt Brook. On January 17, 1811, Ben Turnbull was married to (blank) Anderson by Rev. James MacGregor (James Church). The Family History written by Miss Jessie Alice Reid, retired school teacher, Riverton, Pictou Co., shows that Nellie, daughter of Andrew Anderson and his wife Janet Geddes, married an unnamed Turnbull. Andrew Anderson served in the American Revolution in the 82nd Regiment, and was the first settler on Anderson's Mountain (Patterson's History), which is 2 miles along the Little Harbour Road from Ben's 50 acres. On July 13, 1811, Benjamin Turnbull and his wife Nellie, for 90 pounds, deeded the 50 acres to George Argo and James Carmichael, the merchants who founded the town of New Glasgow. Early mortgages took the form of deeds so one can not tell from this document whether Benjamin was selling his farm or using it for security on a loan.
Andrew Turnbull and Peter Turnbull were among 43 scholars attending school in New Glasgow in 1822 (The Pictou Book, p. 177). Andrewand Peter are names commonly used among the Andersons so I suspect that these scholars were children of Benjamin Turnbull and his wife Nellie Anderson.
In the early 1820's Benjamin Turnbull moved to the Magdalen Islands with his wife and family. The Islands had been settled by French speaking Acadians after 1760. In 1798, ownership of the Magdalens was granted to Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, an American-born Loyalist, then living in England. The 100 families of Acadians became the tenants of an absentee landlord who administered his holdings through agents. The Acadians were primarily engaged in the fisheries so Coffin brought in English speaking fanners to increase his revenues from the land.
The births of five children of Benjamin Turnbull and his wife Nellie (Ellen) were recorded on the Magdalens: Jean Henri (John Henry) b 24 Aug 1821, Jacques Robert (James Robert) b. 24 March 1824, Catherine b 1826, Marie (Mary) bapt. 2 April 1828, and Jane b, 25 September 1822 (from Musee des Isles through Renee Tetreault). The first and last of these birth records are from Havre Aubert and the middle three from Havre aux Maisons. In addition to these five, the researches of Renee Tetreault, a descendant, show four older children: Peter, John, Joseph M.M. and Margaret. I question the last two, who, on account of their ages, I think are children of Donald Turnbull, Benjamin's brother The Magdalen Islands census of 1831 lists "Bej.Thurnbull" with a wife and 7 children in his household at "Etag" (probably Etang du Nord). The age distribution in the census fits the "known" children except one (names assigned by me): 1 under age 5 (Marie); 3 aged 5-14 (Catherine, Jacques Robert, Jean Henri); 2 males 14-18 (John, Peter); 1 female 14-18 (Margaret). I think that Joseph M.M. Turnbull is too old to be a child of Benjamin and Nellie as he was born October 1, 1802 and gave his age as 65 in the 1870 Federal Census ofMt. Desert Me., p. 22 (from Thelma M.S. Beck).
Benjamin Turnbull and his family returned to Pictou Co. and are enumerated in the 1838 census next to Robert Anderson and Andrew Anderson. From this I deduce that they were living on Andersons Mountain. The age distribution fits the known children with two exceptions: 1 female under 6 (Jane); 2 males under 14 (Jacques Robert and one other); 2 females under 14 (Marie, Catherine), 2 males above 14 (Jean Henri, John, Peter); 1 female above 14 (Margaret)(should have been married on M.l.) An Ellen Turnbull of Westville was buried Mar 22, 1868, 77 years (b. ca.1791) died of general debility (from register of Sharon Presbyterian Church, Stellarton).1

Other Life Events

AnecdoteMARTHA TURNBULL. Known to be the wife of JAMES CASSIDY from the release of the heirs of Thomas Turnbull, pioneer, in 1805. Although named in the document, Martha was the only heir who did not sign it. Presumably James Cassidy was the brother of John but we do not know for sure. Patterson's History (p. 228) lists John and James Cassidy as among the settlers on McLennans Brook in 180l. James was granted 100 acres of land there on April 2, 1803. This grant, which is shown on Crown Lands Index Maps 87 and 93, is the Cassidy property mentioned by Mrs. MacPherson in her book Highlights of the Past about MacLellan's Brook Community as once being owned by Daniel Cameron (Donald Cameron in the 1879 Atlas of Pictou County, p. 57), and now by W . Douglas Fraser. In late summer 1978, Douglas Fraser and his wife Mary invited my mother and me into their home and showed us a photograph of an older frame house that formerly stood on the property for over a century. We were told of a cellar hole back in the woods of a still earlier dwelling, possibly the pioneer home of James and Martha Cassidy.
On July 9, 1805, James Cassidy together with John Cassidy, James Tumbull, and Donald Tumbull contracted to build a wharf of six blocks in Pictou Harbour for William Bannerman, merchant. James Cassidy was probably the leader in this undertaking because his name comes before the others in the 5 times they are listed in the document, and he signed first. One cannot read all of the document because it is worn where it was folded, but the Cassidys and Tumbulls were to provide logs for the wharf, each log to be 12 inches across the small end, and Bannerman was to pay them one shilling and three pence for each log.
I found only one land transaction of James Cassidy in the Pictou Registry of Deeds. On November 8, 1811 James mortgaged his farm in the second division East River to Edward Mortimer, merchant. The instrument gives the reason: "whereas James Cassidy stands indebted to the said Edward Mortimer for 60 pounds for goods, wares and merchandise delivered by him to the said James Cassidy and whereas the said James Cassidy is desirous of receiving from the said Edward Mortimer other goods, wares and merchandise from time to time as the said James Cassidy may require same ..." The description of the farm matches that of the land grant at McLellans brook in 1803 and states that it is the farm on which James resides.
The 1817 census of Pictou Co. shows two children in the household of John "Casady", and 11 in the household of James "Casady". There are other records of 15 Cassidys of the right age or period to be children of either John or James. These include the two known children of John already mentioned. There are four known children of James whose names and approximate birth dates are:
James b. 1798 (age 63 in 1861 census, M.I. PQ) Benjamin b. 1805 (death certificate) Wallis Michael b. 1810 (gravestone) Daniel b. 1814 (adult baptism, age 22 in 1836).
James died March 19, 1865, and his death certificate identifies him as a son of "James Cassidy formerly of Pictou" (Musee de la Mer, M.I.). Benjamin died April 20, 1873 at Pictou town and his death certificate (PANS) identifies his as a son of James Cassidy, farmer. W.Michael married at Port Daniel, Bonaventure Co. PQ, and a family Bible in the possession of his descendants identifies him as the 5th son of James Cassidy, artist and farmer of East River, Pictou, NS (from Thelma Beck, a descendant).
Unfortunately, we do not know the kind of art that James practised nor whether any has survived. The baptism record of Daniel, in St. James Anglican Church, Pictou, suggests that James was not in good standing with the Presbyterian denomination represented by Rev. James MacGregor.
Most of the nine Cassidys that cannot be assigned to John or James probably belong to James. They are John (b. ca, 1800), William (b. ca. 1803), Peter, Andrew, Robert, a D. Cassady too old to be Daniel, Margaret (b.ca. 1810), Mary (b.ca.1811) and an unnamed girl who married Robert Anderson.
It is not known how long James Cassidy and his wife Martha Turnbull lived nor where they are buried. One possibility is that they moved to the Miramichi River, NB where nephew James (2.2) married Mary Ivory (b. 1806), a daughter of Andrew Ivory (d. 1810), an early settler at South Nelson, NB. The area was swept by a devastating forest fire in October 1825, with great loss of life and property. My mother (b. 1904) learned of our Miramichi connection when she was a school girl. One evening she was reading her Grade 6 geography lesson aloud to her mother, who was a granddaughter of James Cassidy and Mary Ivory. The lesson was about the Miramichi fire of 1825 and her mother interrupted with, "Oh! Our people were in that fire."
The Miramichi Fire List in the NB Archives records the losses (pounds, shillings and pence) of four Cassidys and of Richard Ivory, brother of Mary:
Folio, Name, Residence, Committee, Estimate of Loss
46 Cassidy, James, "L" (Ludlow), 47.16.8
54 Cassidy, James Sr., "N.C." (Newcastle), 13.16.6
64 Cassidy, James, "L.N.C." (Lower Newcastle), 25.0.0
138 Cassidy, David, "L.Chat. "(Lower Chatham), 32.10.0
59 Ivory, Richard, "L.N.C", 10.0.0
The above interpretation of the residence abbreviations is my own except for Ludlow suggested to my brother Kenneth by the Archives staff ..
The newspaper Miramichi Mercury in 1826 published several lists of letters remaining unclaimed in the Miramichi post office. These included letters to four Cassidys: William, John, James, and David. Because the Miramichi was receiving immigrants directly from Ireland at this time, it is possible that some
or all of these Cassidys do not belong to the families of Pictou County.

AnecdoteBENJAMIN TURNBULL. Flourished 1830's and '40's. The 1838 census of New Glasgow lists him as a merchant with two in his household, himself and a boy under six. He is almost certainly the 6th heir of Thomas( 1) of McLellans Brook because the other Benjamin, his uncle, is listed elsewhere in the census of 1838, and because of a deed of 1848 (Book 32, p. 649) by which Charlotte Turnbull, widow of Thomas Turnbull of McLellans Brook, sold to Benjamin Turnbull of New Glasgow, yeoman, 200 acres ofland at Chance Harbour rear division. This was land which Charlotte (nee Brady) inherited from John Bready.1
