第51章

"I have visited Hawnby a few times; it is most romantically situated about ten miles from Thirsk, rather difficult of access on account of the steep ascents which have to be climbed and precipitously descended before it can be reached.

"As I am acquainted with the clergyman who has been there many years, the Rev.O.A.Manners (connected with the Duke of Rutland's family) Iwrote him and received the following letter:

"April 2nd, 1880.

"DEAR SIR,"I have examined the register and found frequent mention of the name of Chapman of Hawnby Hall, viz., 'March 22, 1761--John, son of William Chapman, Hawnby Hall, baptized.Feb.3, 1763--Thomas Chapman, of the Hall, died aged 75 years.'

"It would seem that the foregoing William Chapman was the son of Thomas Chapman and the man who landed in Halifax in 1775.

"About the latter date a family by the name of Barr came to reside at the Hall.

"James Cornforth of this place, who is in his 80th year, is related to this family.The said William Chapman being his great-uncle (maternal).

"The Hall is now, and has been for many years, a farm house.

"_O._ _ A._ MANNERS."

The following names appear in the directory among the residents of Billsdale:

Joseph Chapman, Farmer Robert Chapman, Farmer Robert Chapman, Shoemaker Robert Strickland Chapman, Farmer Garbuth Chapman, Farmer, Dale Town.

CARTER.

John Carter (the first) came from Yorkshire to Nova Scotia in 1774.His wife was Jane Thompson.They settled near Fort Cumberland, and had a family of three sons, Thomas, Christopher and John.Thomas married Miss Siddall and settled first at Westcock, Sackville Parish, but afterwards moved to Dorchester.Christopher married a Miss Roberts and settled at Westmoreland Point, near his father.John married Miss Anne Lowerison and remained on the homestead.The three brothers all had large families, the boys outnumbering the girls, which is the reason, no doubt, that the Carter name is more in evidence in the district than any other Yorkshire name.

John Carter's descendants still own the farm their great-grandfather first purchased in Nova Scotia.John Carter, sen., was drowned while fording the Missiquash River while on his way home from Amherst.His widow afterward became the second wife of William Chapman, of Point de Bute.Mr.Carter and his sons were honest men, and the name still stands well for fair dealing.Inspector Carter, of St.John, N.B.;Herbert Carter, M.D., of Port Elgin, N.B.; Titus Carter, barrister, of Fredericton, N.S., and Councillor Carter of Salisbury, N.B., are members of this family.

TRENHOLM.

There were three Trenholm brothers in the Yorkshire contingent, Matthew, Edward, and John.Matthew settled at Windsor, Edward at River Francis, in the Upper Provinces, and John at Point de Bute on the Inverma Farm.This farm was probably confiscated to the Crown after Sheriff Allan left the country.

Just where Mr.Trenholm lived before he got possession of Inverma Ihave no information, but as Sheriff Allan had several tenants, it is quite probable that Mr.Trenholm was one of them.John Trenholm's wife was a Miss Coates.They had three sons--John, William, and Robert--and three daughters.

John married a Miss Foster and settled on a Brook farm at Point de Bute Corner and afterwards built a mill on the Brook.His grandson, Abijah, now owns this part of the property and turns out flour at the old stand.William married a Miss Ryan and owned a large farm in Point de Bute, on the north-west side of the ridge.Robert settled at Cape Tormentine in 1810, and the following table shows the names of his children and grandchildren:

Children.Grandchildren.Children.Grandchildren.

Stephen11Abner6John5Job 10Hannah 10Ruth12William10Thomas 10Phoebe 11Jane 8Robert 10Benjamin 9Total 112Hiram and Abijah and their families are now the only descendants of the name living in Point de Bute.

The Trenholms were quiet, industrious men, very neat about their work, and made successful farmers.

LOGAN.

Hugh Logan was one of the eleven hundred and seventy six settlers who, with their families, arrived at Chebucto (Halifax Harbor) on the 2nd of July, 1749."This plan of sending out settlers to Nova Scotia was adopted by the British Government, and the lords of trade, by the King's command, advertised in March, 1749, offering to all officers and private men discharged from the army and navy, and to artificers necessary in building and husbandry, free passages, provisions for the voyage, and subsistence for a year after landing, arms, ammunition and utensils of industry, free grants of land in the Province, and a civil government with all the privileges enjoyed in the other English colonies."Parliament voted L 40,000 sterling for the expense of this undertaking.

Colonel the Honorable Edward Cornwallis was gazetted Governor of Nova Scotia, May 9th, 1749, and sailed for the Province in the sloop-of-war SPHINX.On the 14th, of June, just a month after leaving home, the SPHINX made the coast of Nova Scotia, but having no pilot on board, cruised off the land until the 21st June.On that day they entered Halifax Harbor.

Cornwallis writes, June 22nd: "The coasts are as rich as ever they have been represented to be.We caught fish every day since we came within forty leagues of the coast.The harbor itself is full of fish of all kinds.All the officers agree the harbor is the finest they have ever seen.The country is one continual wood, no clear spot is to be seen or heard of."Mr.Logan entered into the spirit of the first builders of the new Province, and did his work to the best of his ability.His son, Hugh, came to Chignecto early in the history of the country and settled at Amherst Point.Hugh Logan was the founder of the family in Cumberland and became one of the solid men of the place.He is said to have been the owner of the first two-wheeled chaise in the district.Sheriff Logan, of Amherst, and Hance Logan, M.P.for Cumberland County, N.S., are descendants of Hugh Logan.

ALLISON.
