Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Ireland settled Antrim, Halifax Co., Nova Scotia, in 1821. Many of his descendents stayed in the Musquodoboit Valley, at least for a generation or two, except for son Hugh, who settled in Truro, Colchester County. John McMullen, also of Ireland, settled in Upper Stewiacke, Colchester County, in 1824. There is no direct evidence to link them, but they were of similar age and anecdotally there is indirect evidence to link them, perhaps as brothers. Due to the proximity of settlement, their descendents can be easily confused within South and Central Colchester Co., East Hants Co. and Northeast Halifax Co. records. I have researched the Archibald McMullen family to a much greater extent. In this report, I have kept the two families separated (John McMullen family starts on p. 116), and also indexed separately at the end of the report (Archibald McMullen family index starts on p. 134 and John McMullen family index starts on p. 161).

Many sources have been used in the production of this report. The biography and descendents of Archibald McMullen have been documented by Carol McRobb, Terrace, BC, 1990, and we have had many discussions since then. Her research into and account of Archibald is very thorough, as is her account of son Hugh, and his son Alexander Joseph, from whom she descends. I have borrowed heavily from her research in this account, and I gratefully acknowledge her efforts. The biography and descendents of Thomas Gotobed McMullen, another son of Hugh, are also well known, as T.G., and later his sons, became well-known and successful businessmen in Truro and in Alberta/B.C. Some of his descendents are still in Truro. I have added extensively to the other McMullen families, from primary records- census, grave markers, b.m.d. records (Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics), etc., and also much correspondence with various descendents. I must point out early on that in many records, the spellings of McMullen and McMullin have been used interchangeably within families. I have tried to maintain the spellings as recorded, but generally find there to be no logical distinction amongst the spelling usage. Undoubtedly, many errors remain. I produce this report, therefore, not as a complete document (no genealogy is ever complete), but I hope it will provide useful information to researchers in the future. I am more than interested in any corrctions or additions at any time.

The author is the great great grandson of Rachel (McMullin) McDougall, #16. Hence, many comments revolve around the various known or implied connections to her.

The Descendents of Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Halifax Co., NS

First Generation

—————————————————————————————————————————————

1. Archibald McMullen. Born in 1780 in Antrim, Ireland. Archibald died in Antrim, Nova Scotia, on 16 Nov 1841; he was 61.

Archibald McMullen’s origin is described as Irish, from Antrim. The McMullen’s were not, however, Irish, at least not for many generations. They were of the Scots-Irish. It was Queen Elizabeth I who tried to bring Ulster, a Gaelic and Catholic stronghold, more firmly under English control, and to do so by transplanting numerous English families to Ulster lands. James I renewed this plan in 1640, with the tranplantation of Scots to Ireland. These Scots, however, never integrated and were continually in religious and political persecution and strife. Many emigrated to the US, and never fully integrated there, either, being unaccepted by the Americans. Thus the Scots-Irish in both New England and in Ulster were easy targets for British recolonization of Nova Scotia after the Expulsion of the Acadians, and numerous Scots-Irish families arrived in the 1770’s, 1780’s, and 1790’s.

Archibald McMullen’s first land petition, dated Aug. 22, 1821, stated that he was born and brought up in the North of Ireland and had just arrived from Ireland with a wife and five sons, the eldest nearly 20 years of age, for the purposes of seeking Crown Land to settle upon. On this petition, James Knowland, Chairman of the Nova Scotia District, noted “The petitioner Archibald McMullin (sic) is well recommended to me as having maintained for many years in his native country the character of a sober, honest, and industrious man and as such I take the liberty of recommending his application to his excellency for a grant of lands.” By Dec. 22, 1824, he had a house and 24 acres of his land cleared. He failed to apply for the land grant within the allotted period, so it expired and he had to reapply. He stated the reson for his delay as “he had not the means of paying the fees for the respective officer.” The 200 acre parcel became his by Nov., 1826. His first neighbours were Thomas Sargent and John Kerr. Some time prior to 1825 his first wife Rachel died. When he applied for Crown Land in 1821, he was “married”, but his wife’s name was not given. When he made out his will, 16 Sept. 1841, he was married to Mary. He left his farm and stock to her, and after her death, to his son Hugh. He named William Logan, Samuel Kerr and his son Alexander as executors. He died 16 Nov. 1841. He may have been buried on his own land or in the Pioneer Cemetery, Musquodoboit.

A document at the Colchester Historical Society archives (anonymous, undated), stated that Hugh McMullen (sic) was the son of Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Ireland. Hugh was born Aug. 17, 1812 in Antrim, Ireland and came to Nova Scotia when he was nine. The document further stated that Archibald d. Oct. 1847, at the age of 67 (b. 1780). However, from Carol McRobb, he died 1841, age 61, so the transcriber missed 1’s for 7’s.

Another attached document listing births and deaths of the family of Hugh and Rebekah (which appears as though perhaps it was transcribed from a bible?) listed Archibald McMullen, died Oct. 11, 1841, aged 67 (note difference from above death year). It also lists Thomas Gotobed, Sarah Gotobed, as well as Hugh, Rebekah, and all their children, but interestingly, no wife of Archibald, suggesting Hugh’s mother may have died much before Archibald and the detals had been forgotten. Although he was claimed to be “married” when he came to Nova Scotia, no record of his wife was found, but her name Rachel is mentioned in the records of marriage of their sons. Archibald remarried again in 1825 to Mary Thompson (Hugh was 13).

In "History along the Old Guysborough Road", by N. E. Gray and A. A. (Blois) Smith, 1987, p. 62, it is stated that "The first school was built at the foot of Nuttle Hill (Antrim) in 1830. Both the school and the church were built on property owned by Archibald McMullen. Since 1830, three schools have been built on this site. The last school closed in 1965 and was sold to Ross McMullen, a great grandson of Archibald McMullen", although it seems like there were more intervening generations than four.

The 1851 Nova Scotia census includes Alexander, Hugh, James, Joseph, and William McMullen (sic), all of Halifax County. Archibald had 6 children, the five above named sons, plus a daughter Mary, mentioned in his will.

A family story is that the McMullen’s travelled to Nova Scotia with the Redmond, McFetridge, Henderson, and McGunnigal families, all from Antrim. Their ship was wrecked about 300 miles from Halifax. They were forced to remain on a rock for three days and nights. When the rescuers finally came, a Newfoundland dog swam with a rope from his ship to the rock, without this rescue would have been impossible. The passengers were landed in Halifax.

From Carol McRobb, Terrace, BC, cmcrobb@telus.net, June 21, 2011,

“It is believed that the Redmond family, the McFetridge family and our McMullen family knew each other in Ireland. The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland did a search of the "Tithe Applotment Books". It revealed an area in Antrim Ireland where an Archibald McMullon, William Redmond, John McFetrige and a John McFetrish all lived within two to five miles of each other. In their report they state that Derrykeigham is significant. Derrykeigham was the only place in which an Archibald McMullon was found living near a Redmond and McFetridge family. McFetridge was a rare family name in Antrim with only a small clutch of 5 families in mid Antrim at that time. The Tithe Books date 1823 - 1837 and many were not updated.”

Archibald McMullon,

   Parish: Derrykeighan/Grange of Drumtullagh

   Townland: Clegnagh

   Year: 1827

William Redmond

    Parish: Derrykeighan

    Townland: Drumcrottagh

    Year: 1827

John McFetride,

    Parish: Dunluce

    Townland: Boneyclashagh

    Year: 1828

John McFetrish,

    Parish: dunluce

    Townland: Bellyhome

    Year: 1828

“Thus I think our McMullens were from Grange of Drumtullagh, Derrkeighan, Clegnagh, Antrim, Ireland.

“Re: the shipwreck. My Aunt; Verna Grace Gillespie (1911-2003), told me her Grandmother Jessie (Wells) McMullen told her that "the McMullen's had been shipwrecked on their way to the United States". Jessie would have known Hugh McMullen, who was born in Ireland and was on the ship that was wrecked on the rocks.

“Although there are many conflicting dates and notes on this event I believe our McMullen's were on the ship that was wrecked on the rocks that was bound for the USA, and that they emigrated in 1820 or early 1821.”

The McFetridges of Musquodoboit family history in the Truro Daily News of March 29, 1936 states that the Henderson's, McGunnigals, McMullins and Redmonds came to Nova Scotia in 1824. Leaving Ireland the family with others took passage on a sailing vessel for New York, but the ship was wrecked about three hundred miles from Halifax and the passengers were picked up by another vessel and landed in Halifax.  A few of the passengers were lost from the wreck but the McFetridge family were all saved.  The son John was going down for the third time when someone caught him by the hair and drew him up. The Henderson's, McGunnigal's, McMullin's and Redmond's, pioneers also came on the same vessel and of course had the same experience and were forced to remain on the rock for 3 days and 3 nights with the sea occasionally breaking over them before being rescued.  When rescue came in the shape of another vessel the passengers were transferred by the aid of a Newfoundland dog which swam with a rope from ship to rock and without which help rescue would have been impossible. It is said that in order to lighten the ship and avoid the rock or to float her everything movable was thrown overboard including a block of gold weighing one ton (strange to relate).

(Note this article was written 112 years after the event)”

Note: Gary McMullen, grandson of Daniel, of John, of James, of Archibald, also related a similar tale, “One of my Uncles had told a story when I was young that they shipwrecked in Musquodoboit from Antrim County. Then moved inland up the river.”

It was recalled within the Horris McMullin family that there was a sister lost on the journey, also they too knew the story of the shipwreck.

Joan (McMullin) Luthy, descendent of Joseph McMullin of Antrim, Ireland and Antrim, NS, son of Archibald, wrote on Jan. 14, 1996 "In the early 1600's many families of Galloway, Scotland branch of Clan MacMillan escaped to Northern Ireland after coming out on the wrong end of an altercation with Clan Campbell - my family among them. They settled in Antrim, Ireland where Joseph was born. I gather he and other family members who emigrated with him, either were homesick or just liked the name because they settled in Antrim, NS, between Gays River and Elderbank where Joseph's original farm was located." Joan has actively searched out and recorded the dscendents of Joseph.

John McMullen – see page 116.

John McMullen settled in Stewiacke Valley in 1824. He had three sons, James, Samuel, and Joseph; and three daughters. This information comes from Stewiacke Centenary, 1900. I have no direct evidence to link him to Archibald, who came to Musquodoboit Valley in 1821, but a connection seems possible. They were about the same age and arrived at about the same time from the same place. Carol McRobb recalls hearing that the Archibald McMullen family was listed in the John McMullen family bible, which certainly suggests they were likely brothers. Anecdotally, descendants have also believed there to be a family connection.

I received an email from Merritt Mullen <mmullen@ridgrcrest.ca.us>, July 22, 1997, describing his ancestor, John McMullen (1778-1860) who emigrated with his wife Mary McGowan and older children from Antrim County to Kentucky in 1825. The children dropped the "Mc" and went by Mullen or Mullin. According to Merritt, McMullen is the spelling used in Ireland for the Scottish name MacMillan. It is likely that they were Ulster Scots who came to Ireland dring the plantations in the 1600's. John and Mary's children were George, John, Archibald, Lucy Jane, William (all b. Ireland), Mary Ann, James D. (Merritt's great-grandfather), and Merritt J. (last 3 b. in Kentucky). The interesting connections here are the origin (Antrim), the dates (b. 1778, emigrated 1825), and the commonality of names (esp. Archibald). It may be that this John and Archibald the NS progenitor were also related, although not brothers if the above John was a brother.

Archibald first married Rachel (Surname unkown).

Rachel’s name appears as mother in the 2nd marriage of son Alexander in the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics (NSHVS).

If Archibald was married when he arrived in Nova Scotia, as claimed on his petition for land, and remarried again in Musquodoboit in 1825, then Rachel must have died between 1821 and 1825 in Nova Scotia.

They had the following children:

2 i. James McMullin (1799-22 Jul 1882)

3 ii. William (1806-18 Jul 1865)

4 iii. Alexander McMullin (1808-26 Jun 1893)

5 iv. Joseph McMullin (1809-16 Apr 1882)

6 v. Hugh (17 Aug 1812-7 Feb 1897)

On 8 Feb 1825 when Archibald was 45, he second married Mary Thompson in By Rev. Blackwood.

They had one child:

i. Mary.

Mary is referred to as Archibald’s “much beloved daughter” in his will. No further information known. She may have been a daughter of his first wife Rachel, although in his land grant he stated he had arrived (1821) with a wife and five sons, no mention of daughters. If he remarried in 1825, Mary could have been born of Rachel between 1821 and her death, or she could have been a daughter from the second marriage.

Second Generation

--------------------------------------------------

Family of Archibald McMullen (1) & Rachel

2. James McMullin (Archibald McMullen¹). Born in 1799 in Ireland. James died in Wyse Corner, Nova Scotia, on 22 Jul 1882; he was 83. Buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Middle Musquodoboit, NS.

James McMullin (sic) is found in both the 1871 and 1881 census of Wyse Corner (dwelling 23, 1871, 66, 1881), as widower, age 70 (1871), 82 (1881), born Ireland, Religion Church of Scotland (1871), Presbyterian (1881), Scotch origin (1871), Irish origin (1881), occupation farmer. He was living with Rachel McMullin, age 22 (1871), 32 (1881), born NS, and Hiram McMullin, born NS, age 12 (1881 only). T.C. McMullen, son of Joseph, had a son Hiram b. 1870. They were very near in proximity to Daniel and Rachel (McMullin) McDougall (dwelling 20, 1871, dwelling 69, 1881), who was the daughter of Alexander, a brother of James.

James is also in the 1838 census of Lower Musquodoboit and the 1851 census of Gays River.

According to Carol McRobb (1990) from census data, James and Eliz. had 10 children, 4 male and 6 female, and she names James, William (md. Fanny Densmore), John (md. Mary Anne McDougall), Elizabeth and Rachel, so there is 1 more male and 4 more females unaccounted for. See notes under brother Alexander - Mary Lively (b. 1828) and Ann Lively (b. 1837) may have been daughters of James, rather than Alexander.

From Robert Kim Stevens <stevens@dns.supernet.com.mx>, 10 June, 1997, a James McMullen, b. ca 1800, m. Mary McFarlane and lived at Elderbank. Not sure if this piece of information fits.

James married Elizabeth Murphy. Born in 1800. Elizabeth died on 19 Nov 1855; she was 55.

Surname from Death Certificate of daughter Rachel (NSHVS).

They had the following children:

i. James

James McMullen, New Antrim, m. Agnes Brown, Musquodoboit, 18 Aug. 1862 (PW). Certificate in NSHVS, married by Rev. John Sprott. No parents named.

7 ii. William (16 Apr 1829-12 Apr 1881)

8 iii. John (18 Feb 1836-26 Dec 1914)

9 iv. Elisabeth (23 Aug 1843-)

v. Rachel (23 Sep 1847-6 Oct 1926) Born on 23 Sep 1847 in Musquodoboit, NS. Rachel died in Nine Mile River, Hants Co., NS, on 6 Oct 1926; she was 79.

NS Historical Vital Statistics - 17 May 1904, Kennetcook, William John McIntosh, s/o Duncan and Isabella, 51, farmer, widower, md. Rachel McMullin, 56, Single, of West Gore, b. Musquodoboit, d/o James and Elizabeth. Her parents would have been old when she was born, based on these dates. Possibly the daughter of James, of James?.

Death certificate Rachael MacIntosh, Nine Mile River, b. Sept 23, 1847 in Nova Scotia, d. Oct. 6 1926, Nine Mile River (length of residence at place of death 45 years), d/o James William McMullin and Elizabeth Murphy, informant was Sarah McDougall, niece, Nine Mile River, burial in Nine Mile River.

On 17 May 1904 when Rachel was 56, she married William John McIntosh in Kennetcook, NS.

3. William McMullen (Archibald¹). Born in 1806. William died in Gays River, NS, on 18 Jul 1865; he was 59. Buried in Gays River, NS.

William McMullen (sic) is buried in Gays River, on the other side of the lane from the plot containing Rachel McDougall, Archibald McMullin, Mary Lively and William McMullan. William is buried beside his wife Catherine, and children Margaret and William.

William is found in the 1851 and 1861 census of Gays River. From census data, William had six female and three male children. Carol McRobb (1990) names Sadie, Mary Ann, Archibald, Catherine, John, Margaret, Rachel and Janet.

A widow Catherine McMullin (sic), age 65 is found in the 1871 census (dwelling 41) for Gays River, District 197, East Halifax County, living with John McMullin, age 30, and Jennet McMullin, age 19. They are close to William and Frances McMullin (dwelling 31).

William married Katherine McPhee, daughter of Donald McPhee & Catherine. Born in 1807. Katherine died on 26 May 1890; she was 83. Buried in Gays River, NS.

The surname of McPhee and parents names comes from Carol McRobb’s (1990) report.

Rev. Blackwood notes that a William McMillan of Musquodoboit married a Catherine McPhee of Nine Mile River on Mar 4, 1823. The only Catherine McPhee, born in 1807, that seems to fit the Hants Co. McPhee’s is the daughter of William McPhee (Black Bill) and Janet MacMIllan; she appears as being single and living with relatives, Jannet, and Howard, Arnold etc. McPhee, in the 1881 census for Lower Stewiacke (note from Linda McPhee).

Note from Sandra Cook: “I would guess that that date should read Mar 04, 1832. Making William a age of 26 when married a more reasonable age than 17. Also Catherine a age of 25 rather than 16. Although it is highly possible they were 17 and 16. Also Census records from 1838 Lower Musquodoboit. William had 3 girls under 6 and 1 boy under 6. Meaning 4 children would have been born between 1832 and 1838. No other children listed ie under or over 14. I am guessing that its unlikely they would have been married 9 yrs and had no children. Therefore I am assuming Archibald was his first child born in 1832. Janet was the last born 1852 making Catherine 45 when she had her last child.”

She is found in the 1881 census of Gay’s River with daughter Catherine Nelson.

They had the following children:

i. Sadie

Sadie married Mr. Mooney.

10 ii. Mary Ann (1836-19 Feb 1873)

11 iii. Archibald McMullin (16 Feb 1833-11 Mar 1917)

12 iv. Rachel (16 Feb 1839-31 Mar 1918)

v. John McMullin (1840-) Born in 1840.

John is found in the 1871 census for Gays River District 197, East Halifax Co. as single, age 30, living with widow Catherine, age 65, and Jennet, age 19.

vi. William (Died as Child) (1841-15 May 1858) Born in 1841. William died on 15 May 1858; he was 17. Buried in Gays River, NS.

13 vii. Catherine (1844-1928)

viii. Margaret (Died as Child) (1847-11 Sep 1858) Born in 1847. Margaret died on 11 Sep 1858; she was 11. Buried in Gays River, NS.

14 ix. Jennet “Janet” McMullin (14 Apr 1852-28 Sep 1916)

4. Alexander McMullin (Archibald McMullen¹). Born in 1808 in Antrim, Ireland. Alexander died in Guysborough Road, NS, on 26 Jun 1893; he was 85. Buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Midle Musquodoboit. Occupation: Farmer, McAlpine Directory, 1868, Antrim.

Mr. McMullin was still living at the time of his granddaughter Martha McDougall's wedding to Miles Dickey Goff (Sept. 18, 1888) and his wedding gift to her, inscribed with his signature (“Grandfather A. McMullin”), was a "History of the Bible", which is now in the possession of Douglas Goff.

Given his signature, we follow the spelling of McMullin for Rachel. Archibald and other siblings of Alexander seemed to use McMullen more frequently, but both forms can be found completely interchanged within a family. Perhaps they were not very particular. However, no use of "MacMullen/ MacMullin" has been found.

The marriage of Alexander McMullin to Sarah Scott is available from the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics. Alexander McMullin, 57, widower, b. Ireland, farmer, s/o Archibald, farmer, and Rachel, md Sarah Scott, 49, single, d/o William and Annie Scott. It looks like the witness is “Thos. Wilkins G. McMullin.” - if information on him see Alexander’s brother Hugh McMullen.

According to the 1851 census, Alexander had 2 sons and 7 daughters.

The death of Alexander McMullen (sic) of Guysborough Road was recorded in the Truro Daily News 26 June 1893. No obituary. Rachel (McMullin) McDougall lived at Guysborough Road at that time, and as her father would have been 85 at the time of his death, it may be reasonable that he resided with her. In the 1891 census (Meaghers Grant), Alexander McMullin, 84, b. Ireland, Methodist, is living with Daniel and Rachel McDougall. Alexander McMullin, widower, farmer, b. Ireland, age 70, is in the 1881 census for Middle Musquodoboit, living alone. 1871 Census-William Scott age 77 listed as widowed, living with him are Alexander McMullin age 62 and Sarah (Scott) McMullin age 49-William’s daughter. Ann Scott, William’s wife, would have passed away shortly before census taken in 1871.

Rachel (McMullin) McDougall, Alexander’s daughter, had 3 sisters living at the time of her death (1915) as recorded from her obituary: Mrs. William (Margaret) MacLean of Elderbank, d. 1919, Mrs. James (Martha) MacKenzie of Moncton, d.1916, and Mrs. Samuel (Catherine) Moore, d.1916. Ann (McMullin) Lively died in 1917, so she may not have been a sister. Rachel is buried at Gays River beside Archibald McMullin, William McMullin, and Mary (McMullin) Lively. Based on the 1871 and 1881 census, Archibald, William and Mary all lived in Gays River close to each other, and close (in 1871) to John McMullin. However, Archibald (s/o William), William (s/o James), and John (s/o Joseph) would all be cousins, not brothers. Nevertheless, Mary (McMullin) LIvely may have been an older sister.

Recorded in the Truro Daily News is the marriage, 3 Nov. 1863, of Samuel Moore of Gays River to Catherine, 4th daughter of Mr. Alexander McMullin (sic) of the same place. A descendent of Samuel and Catherine, Sam Moore, Rocky Mountain House, AB, who is also a descendent of Rachel and Daniel McDougall, confirmed from family knowledge that Catherine and Rachel were sisters.

Recorded in the Presbyterian Witness, 7 August 1880, is the death of Mrs. Alexander McMullin (sic) at Middle Musquodoboit on the 27th of July, 1880, aged 58 years, of consumption. This was probably Alexander’s second wife, Sarah Scott, but birth year of 1822 does not match her age at marriage (birth year of 1810). Another Alexander is not obvious.

There is some fact, some circumstantial evidence, and some speculation, in piecing the children of Alexander together. Carol McRobb (1990) named Hugh as a son. She also had as a son: John (b. 1843) md. to Elizabeth (b. 1841) with children Sarah (b. 1871), Amelia (b. 1872) and Annie (b. 1874). In the 1881 Truro Census: John MCMILLAN, Rev, Scottish, 38, b. Nova Scotia, Clergyman , C. Presbyterian, Elisabeth MCMILLAN, English, 39, b. Nova Scotia, Sarah S. 11, Amelia M., 9, Annie W., 7. They were in the 1871 census of Little River: John McMillan, clergyman, ae 28, wife Elizabeth, 30, Sarah, 1. Marriage 28 July 1868, Halifax, John McMillan, 26, Clergyman, res. Musquodoboit, b. Pictou, s/o Duncan and Mary McMillan, farmer, Elizabeth Wiswell, 26, b. Halifax, d/o Charles and Sarah Wiswell, merchant. Thus this Rev. McMillan was not from the McMullen family. So one of the sons is unknown.

Mary Lively may be a daughter, given her burial proximity to Rachel, but as she is older than Rachel, she doesn’t fit in couting to get to Catherine as 4th daughter. Ann Lively may be a daughter, she was a McMullen and married a brother of Mary’s husband, but she doesn’t fit based on Rachel’s living sisters in her obituary and couting to make Catherine the 4th daughter. Jane McDougall is probably a daughter. She and James McDougall were married in New Antrim on the same day as Rachel McMullin and Daniel McDougall (James’ brother), but lived in Cheverie. Isabel (McDougall) Prescott’s reference in a letter to her mother Rachel to Sadie and Minerva, daughters of Jane, would suggest they were cousins, rather than second cousins. Jane had a sister unmarried in 1900, as taken from a diary of Charles Harris Burgess of Cheverie, who referred to Miss McMullen, sister of Jane McDougall’s. She has not been identified. Martha and Margaret were certainly sisters of Rachel. Catherine was listed as the 4th daughter. So then the order must be Rachel, Jane, Martha, Catherine, Margaret, and the unmarried (in 1900) sister. That excludes Mary and Ann as sisters, but leaves room for one more younger unnamed sister to make the seven. Mary and Ann could have been daughters of James McMullen’s (Alexander’s brother), as he had six daughters of whom I have only identified two. I can find no record to verify their parents.

Alexander first married Martha. Born in 1807. Martha died on 19 Dec 1865; she was 58.

Martha’s name appears in the marriage of daughter Margaret in the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics.

They had the following children:

15 i. Mary (1828-28 Jun 1896)

16 ii. Rachel (1 Jan 1833-26 Mar 1915)

17 iii. Jane (1834-10 Mar 1900)

18 iv. Ann (19 Mar 1837-10 Aug 1917)

v. Hugh (1838-3 Jun 1862) Born in 1838. Hugh died on 3 Jun 1862; he was 24. Buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Midle Musquodoboit.

19 vi. Martha (28 Oct 1840-24 Feb 1916)

20 vii. Catherine (1846-2 Mar 1916)

21 viii. Margaret Elizabeth (6 Aug 1848-18 Jan 1919)

On 17 Nov 1869 when Alexander was 61, he second married Sarah Scott, daughter of William Tackles Scott (4 Dec 1795-4 May 1871) & Annie O’Brien (1798-31 May 1871), in Little River, NS. Born in 1823 in Murchyville, NS. Sarah died in Middle Musquodoboit, NS, on 27 Jul 1880; she was 57.

Sarah is mentioned as the daughter of William and Annie (O’Brien) Scott and married to Alexander McMullen in “The Mary Lovering Holman Book- The Scott Genealogy”, 1919 (Sandra Scott, April 29, 2002). Sarah and Alexander were married Nov. 17, 1869 (Halifax Co. marriages). Recorded in the Presbyterian Witness, 7 August 1880, is the death of Mrs. Alexander McMullin (sic) at Middle Musquodoboit on the 27th of July, 1880, aged 58 years, of consumption. She is buried at Elderbank. Her grave stone reads Wife of Alexander McMullen July 27, 1880 died age 52. She is buried between her father, William Scott and Ann O'Brien, and brother, Rachel McMullen and James Scott. Alexander must have been buried with his first wife.

Her age at marriage suggested a birth date of 1810 (records of Carol McRobb), but that cannot be correct based on ages of her parents. The birth date of 1822 seems more logical. Another birthdate may be 1828 if she was 52 when she died.

5. Joseph McMullin (Archibald McMullen¹). Born in 1809 in Antrim, Ireland. Joseph died in Elderbank, Nova Scotia, on 16 Apr 1882; he was 73. Buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Middle Musquodoboit. Occupation: Farmer, McAlpine Directory, Little River, 1868.

Joseph was the earliest ancestor provided to me in a letter from Mrs. Joan McMullin Luthy. 277 Elliot St., Newton, MA 02164, Jan. 14, 1996. She wrote: "In the early 1600's many families of Galloway, Scotland branch of Clan MacMillan escaped to Northern Ireland after coming out on the wrong end of an altercation with Clan Campbell - my family among them. They settled in Antrim, Ireland where Joseph was born. I gather he and other family members who emigrated with him, either were homesick or just liked the name, because . . there is a patch of land called Antrim somewhere between Gays River and Elderbank where Joseph's original farm was located." She also sent a picture of Joseph and Margaret in Elderbank on their 50th anniversary with sons Thomas Charles, Wilfred Burton, and Alexander, and daughter-in-law Lavinia (Balcom) McMullin. Mrs. Luthy also stated that Joseph had a brother Alexander.

The 1871 census for Middle Musquodoboit district 197 lists Joseph McMullin (age 62, b. Ireland, occ. farmer), wife Margaret (age 64, born NS) and son William (age 24, born NS, occ. farmer, single). The 1881 census for Middle Musquodoboit lists Joseph McMullin (age 71, b. Ireland, rel. Presb.), and wife Margaret (age 74), living beside Joseph McMullin (age 34, b. NS, rel. Presb., origin Irish, occ. farmer), wife Elizabeth (age 28), and children Ann, age 11, Freeman, age 6, and Maggie, age 2.

Joseph and Margaret are buried in the Pioneer Cemetery, Middle Musquodoboit, and the stone reads "McMullen". Beside is a stone for Maggie Jane, the daughter of William J. and Elizabeth McMullen (sic). Also nearby is a stone that reads "MacMullen (sic), Esson F., 1875-1904, dau. Edna Rachel 1902-1904".

Joseph married Margaret McCallum, daughter of Thomas McCollum (20 Apr 1778-Apr 1859) & Janet Logan (19 Mar 1776-Dec 1864). Born in Apr 1807 in Elderbank, Hfx. Co., NS. Margaret died on 3 Oct 1887; she was 80. Buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Middle Musquodoboit.

They had the following children:

22 i. Thomas Charles (20 Aug 1837-28 Apr 1917)

23 ii. John (2 Dec 1838-30 Dec 1916)

24 iii. Alexander (31 Dec 1840-18 Dec 1916)

iv. Wilfred Burton

25 v. Margaret Ann (28 Feb 1843-22 Mar 1932)

26 vi. William Joseph (11 Sep 1846-15 Jan 1921)

6. Hugh McMullen (Archibald¹). Born on 17 Aug 1812 in Antrim, Ireland. Hugh died in Truro, Colchester Co., NS, on 7 Feb 1897; he was 84. Occupation: Farmer, Miner, Restauranteur/Saloon Keeper. Residence: Musquodoboit, Truro (1857).

From a document at the Colchester Historical Society archives (anonymous, undated) comes the following: "Hugh McMullen came to Nova Scotia at the age of nine years. he was the son of Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Ireland, where he was born Aug. 17, 1812. He died in Truro on Feb. 7, 1897."

The family of Hugh and Rebekah is taken from the same document.

1881 census for Truro, Hugh 68 (b. Ireland), Rebecca 58 (b. England), John 24 (painter), Sarah 22, Martha 16

Their headstone at Robie St., Truro, reads:

"Hugh McMullen 1812 Antrim Ireland 1897 Truro

Wife

Rebekah Gotabed 1822 England 1889 Truro".

In 1838 when Hugh was 25, he married Rebekah Brown Gotabed. Born in May 1822 in Ely, England. Rebekah Brown died in Truro, Colchester Co., NS, on 5 Aug 1889; she was 67. Buried in Robie St. Cemetery, Truro, NS.

From a document at the Colchester Historical Society archives (anonymous, undated), comes the following:" Thomas Gotabed came to Halifax on the brig, "Flora", in 1832. With him were his wife and family including his eldest daughter, Rebekah, by a former marriage. His ventures in Halifax were not too successful, and he later bought a farm in Musquodoboit. Their farm was located on the Old Guysborough Road, just past Dollar Lake. He died in 1839 at age 42 as a result of a fall from his horse. His wife and her daughters returned to England. Rebekah remained in Nova Scotia and later married Hugh McMullen."

Another attached document listing births and deaths of the family of Hugh and Rebekah (which appears as though perhaps it was transcribed from a bible?) lists Thomas Gotobed, died Oct 28 1839, aged 42, and Sarah Gotobed, died Oct. 1846. Was Sarah the step-mother of Rebekah?

Noreen Gray and Annie Smith also mention in their book a William Gotobed who settled on the Guysborough Road in 1816 (p. 38) and was still living in 1861 (p. 51). He is buried on his farm.

From Debbie Sutherland (wejosu@gmail.com, 2009),

I believe my gggrandfather was a brother or half-brother to Rebekah. My gggrandfather was Thomas Wilks, or at least that is the name we know him by. He came to Halifax in 1832 on the brig Flora. At that time he was about 15 years old. By 1837 he was living in Gays River and teaching school. He eventually married Isabella Grant and bought a farm at Wyse's Corner. His third son, William, developed polio as a child and went to live with "his sister" Rebekah, her husband, Hugh and their family for a few years. I have some old letters from Ann Gotobed in Ely which mentions this. I also remeber my grandmother telling me that her father spent quite a few years living with Aunt Rebekah and Uncle Hugh when he was growing up.

My grandmother was a Wilks, born and raised in Meagher's Grant. She eventually married Claude Morash from Peggy's Cove and settled in Elderbank where they lived until their deaths.

Unfortunately the house my gggrandfather owned was destroyed by fire in the early 1970's and very little was saved. I do have some old letters from Ely, England. One mentions that Rebekah married Hugh against the wishes of her mother. Apparently her mother did not like the idea that Hugh was Irish. She thought he would turn out to be "good for nothing". Because he was Irish she also thought he was Catholic which was even worse than being Irish. Thomas wrote in one of his letters that mother had no need to be prejudiced against him because even though he was born in Ireland his grandparents were Scottish and also that he was Protestant not Catholic.

It would appear that when Thomas Gotobed died, both Thomas Jr and Hugh offered to help settle his estate at no cost to Sarah but she would have nothing to do with this. A quarrel took place and she left for England with her daughters, minus Rebekah. Another letter mentions the fact she still did not have the estate settled and it was costing her alot of money. Apparently she pestered the solicitors so bad they wouldn't do business with her.

My ggg-grandfather had a falling out with his mother after his father died on their farm on the Old Guysborough Road and changed his name to Wilks. He was known locally as "Gotobed Wilks" and we always thought this was some sort of nickname. He was a teacher in Gays River then bought property in Meaghers Grant. He travelled around the area - Meaghers Grant, Antrim, Lake Egmont - until a school was built in Meaghers Grant.

Subject: RE: Gotobed

Dear Doug

My great great grandmother was Jane Gotobed. She was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah Gotobed. Last week I linked up with someone who is a direct decendant of Mary Gotobed, also a daughter of Thomas and Sarah Gotobed. This is why my interest has been reawakened!

I have the Parish Registers of Ely, Cambridgeshire on microfiche in my possession. From this I have deduced the following:

Thomas Gotobed, c. 31 Aug 1797 son of Charles and Mary

married Mary Brown (c. 14 Dec 1794 daughter of John and Mary) on 10 May 1818

They had two children:

Rebecca Gotobed (c. 29 Aug 1818, buried 28 June 1820)

Rebecca Brown Gotobed (c 16 April 1821 - I think this is 'your' Rebekah)

Mary died and was buried 20 Nov 1824, aged 30

Thomas Gotobed (wid.) married Sarah Wilks (sp. daughter of James and Ann c. 22 July 1792) on 17 Oct 1828

They had two children:

Sarah Gotobed c. 31 Dec 1829

Mary Gotobed c. 30 March 1831 (also known as Mary Wilks Gotobed from census data)

No other references to the family are in the Ely records, except there is a reference to a Sarah Gotobed buried 26 Feb 1858 'of Back Hill' aged 65 which I am guessing is the Sarah Wilks above.

The UK 1851 census for Ely has Sarah Gotobed and two daughters: Mary and Jane. Sarah Gotobed is an annuitant at this point, so must have had some income from Thomas' estate. There are no references to Sarah Senior in 1861 census (see above).

My Jane was born in Canada about 1833. She lists Thomas Gotobed (deceased) as her father on her marriage certificate. She also gives her place of birth on the census records as 'Halifax, North America/Canada). She married William Henry Pocock in 1868 and lived the rest of her life in Devizes, Wiltshire. She gave one of her daughters 'Wilks' as a middle name. There is nothing in our family that connects us to Canada - no letters, photos, memorabilia - this could be explainable if mother Sarah had left in a tantrum!

Mary Wilks Gotobed married Jonas Strong in 1861 (waiting for the marriage certificate to confirm the father's name) and also lived the rest of her life in Devizes, Wiltshire. Her family were not aware of a Canadian connection either.

Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Sarah, is nowhere to be found in UK 1851 census. I wonder whether she is the Sarah Gotobed who dies in Nova Scotia in 1846?

Re the Canadian references to Thomas Gotobed born 1817 who changed his name to Wilks after Thomas Gotobed Senior's death... I cannot find him anywhere in the Ely births records. Looking at the records above I am suspecting that he was perhaps Sarah Wilks illegitimate son (she was old enough to have a son born in 1817) who used the Gotobed name when his mother married. This would explain why he would change his name 'back'. He could just about be the (illegitimate) son of Thomas Gotobed Senior...

I cannot find any reference to an 'Ann Gotobed' that was his sister to whom he wrote letters. Certainly she is not christened in Ely. 'Your' Rebekah would have been a step-sister if my facts above are right. Strange though that the Wilks/Gotobed connection is there? I think I will contact Debbie to see whther she can give me any more detail from those letters. If there is a marriage reference for Thomas Wilks/Gotobed, maybe that will make his parentage clearer.

Regards,

Helen

Family of Alexander McMullin (4) & Martha

15. Mary McMullin (Alexander², Archibald McMullen¹). Born in 1828. Mary died on 28 Jun 1896; she was 68. Buried in Gays River, NS.

Mary married William Thomas Lively, son of Rueben Lively (10 Aug 1789-22 Apr 1868) & Rachel Mason (2 Mar 1790-Apr 1859). Born on 26 Nov 1814 in Rawdon, NS. William Thomas died on 11 Oct 1899; he was 84. Buried in Gays River, NS. Education: Antrim, Lower Musquodoboit, Gay's River.

William and Mary are in the 1871 (dwelling 44) and 1881 (dwelling 79) census for Gays River, somewhat close in proximity in 1871 to the widow (of William) Catherine McMullin (Aunt?) and her children John, age 30, and Janet, age 19 (dwelling 41), also somewhat close to William and Frances McMullin (dwelling 31) and John and Margaret McMullin (dwelling 29). In the 1881 census of Gays River, they are near William and Fannie McMullin (dwelling 75) and Archibald and Mary McMullin (dwelling 78).

William and Mary are buried at Gays River beside Rachel (McMullin) McDougall, and near to Archibald McMullin and William McMullin. William's stone reads d. Oct. 11, 1899, aged 84, and Mary's reads d. June 28, 1896, aged 68. Also on the same stone are Margaret E. Lively, 1871-1949, Reuben Lively, 1855-1943, Mabel Lively, 1915-1917.

I was supplied much information on this family from Arleen Lively <alively@atcon.com>, Feb. and July, 1997. It was she who informed me that Mary was a McMullin. She had the names of 8 children, but two descrepancies with the 1871 census were noted, William was missing from Arleen's list, and Mary was said to have died in 1864, but was on the census. Arleen has info. from family members that William and Mary lived at Lower Musquodoboit for a short time (hence Joseph's birth place). Two facts in correspondence with her were especially interesting, the fact that they lived in Antrim for many years, and that their eldest daughter Elizabeth married James McDougall of Cheverie. If Elizabeth was a niece of Rachel (McMullin) McDougall, then how do James and Daniel (Rachel's husband) fit? Why the connection in this instance between Antrim, Halifax Co., and Cheverie, Hants Co. shore?

They had the following children:

49 i. Elizabeth (10 May 1853-3 Mar 1927)

ii. Reuben (25 Jan 1855-3 Apr 1943) Born on 25 Jan 1855 in Antrim, Halifax Co., NS. Reuben died on 3 Apr 1943; he was 88. Buried in Gays River, NS. He was never married.

iii. James A. (25 Apr 1857-11 Jul 1935) Born on 25 Apr 1857 in Antrim, Halifax Co., NS. James A. died on 11 Jul 1935; he was 78. Buried in Gays River, NS. He was never married.

James' stone at Gays River reads "In memory of James A. Lively, d. July 11, 1935, age 78."

iv. William (1859-) Born in 1859.

v. David (Twin) (26 Oct 1862-11 Oct 1897) Born on 26 Oct 1862 in Antrim, Halifax Co., NS. David died on 11 Oct 1897; he was 34. Buried in Gays River, NS. He was never married.

David's stone at Gays River reads "In memory of David, son of William and Mary Lively, d. Oct. 11, 1896, age 35."

50 vi. Rachel (Annie) (Twin) (26 Oct 1862-26 Oct 1907)

ix. Margaret Ellen (30 Jun 1871-18 Feb 1949) Born on 30 Jun 1871 in Antrim, Halifax Co., NS. Margaret Ellen died in Truro, Colchester Co., NS, on 18 Feb 1949; she was 77. Buried in Gays River, NS. Residence: Carrolls Corner (At Time Of Death). She was never married.

Her parents are named as William Lively and Mary McMullin.

16. Rachel McMullin (Alexander², Archibald McMullen¹). Born on 1 Jan 1833 in New Antrim, Halifax Co., NS. Rachel died in Devon, Halifax Co., NS, on 26 Mar 1915; she was 82. Buried in Gays River United Church Cemetery, NS. Religion: Methodist.

Rachel’s obituary states that she was the mother of 8 children, 4 of whom survive her. Her husband, three sons, and a daughter died some years ago. The daughters living are Mrs. Sarah E. Long, Richibucto, NB, Mrs. Miles D. Goff, Milford Station, Mrs. Rachel A. Slocumb, Malden, Mass., and Mrs. Ralph Prescott, Somerville, Mass. Alexander and William Albert were the only deceased sons recorded by Martha Goff in her bible and buried in Gays River. However, the eldst son, “Willie”, died before they left the Kempt Shore, and his gravestone “son of Daniel and Rachel” was found there.

Rachel had 3 sisters living at the time of her death (1915) as recorded from her obituary: Mrs. William (Margaret) MacLean of Elderbank, d. 1919, Mrs. James (Martha) MacKenzie of Moncton, d.1916, and Mrs. Samuel (Catherine) Moore, d.1916. See notes under her father’s entry re daughters. Ann (McMullin) Lively died in 1917, so she may not have been a sister. Her obituary also mentioned 14 grandchildren (Sarah had 6, Martha had 4, Alexander had 1, Rachel had 2, Isabel had 1) and 4 great grandchildren.

Birth year is a little uncertain. A letter from dau. Isabel Jan. 19, 1915 stated that she had had a letter “. . from Sadie and Minerva. You were born in 1833. Your age is 82 years.” James and Jane (McMullen) McDougall had daughters Sarah and Minerva - they would have been double-cousins of Isabel if Jane was a sister. Rachel died in March of that year but age at death on gravestone is 83, suggesting birth year of 1832. Census of 1871 listed no age and 1881 stated age of 47 (hence b. 1834), also 1901 census stated birth of 1 Jan. 1834. Son Willie was born in March, 1848, so a birth year of 1833 means she was only 15 when he was born, 1834 (as per the census) thus seems unlikely.

The following, side-by-side items, were published Thurs., March 1, 1855 in the "Morning Chronical", March 5, 1855 in the "Nova Scotian”, and also in the “Presbyterian Witness”:

1.) Donald McDougall was married in New Antrim to Miss Rachel McMullin on the 15 Feb. 1855 by the Rev. John Sprott.

2.) James McDougall was married in New Antrim to Miss Jane McMullin on the 15 Feb. 1855 by the Rev. John Sprott.

On 15 Feb 1855 when Rachel was 22, she married Daniel McDougall, son of Alexander McDougall (11 Nov 1793-bef 1861) & Jane Murphy (1800-aft 1871), in New Antrim, Hfx. Co., NS. Born on 11 Apr 1831 in Cheverie, Hants Co., NS. Daniel died in Devon, Halifax Co., NS, on 1 Aug 1901; he was 70. Buried in Gays River United Church Cemetery, NS. Occupation: Rigger (1871 Census), Farmer, 1881 Census, 1890, 1896 McAlpine Directory. Residence: Kempt, Hants Co.; Devon, Hfx. Co., NS. Religion: Presbyterian.

Daniel McDougall was born in Cheverie, Hants Co. in 1831. It seems that Daniel’s parents had moved to Cheverie/Kempt from Nine Mile River sometime after 1823, when they were married. Daniel married Rachel McMullin in 1855 in Antrim, Halifax Co. Rachel’s family (grandfather, father, siblings of hers, uncle’s, cousin’s) were all in the Devon area (Antrim), so how Daniel and Rachel got together is a mystery and a curiosity, although Daniel’s brother James and sister Mary Ann also married McMullen’s from Antrim. Daniel and Rachel spent the first part of their married life in the Kempt area of Hants Co., NS. It appears like their first son was born in 1848, when they were both young, but where he was born is unknown, and seems to only deepen the mystery as to how Daniel and Rachel came to be together. It seems that they moved back and forth between the two distant, remote areas quite frequently. They have a son buried in Kempt, 1860, and the obituaries of two other children (Alexander and Martha) said they were born in Kempt, but removed when small children with their parents to Devon, Halifax County. Daniel and Rachel appear in the 1861 census of Kempt (PANS mfm9915, Poll #6 Kempt, Abstract 4, #19 - 1 male 30-40, 1 female 20-30, 1 male 5-10 (Alexander), 1 female 2-3 (Sarah), 1 female <1 yr. (Bella)) and the 1871 and 1881 census of Devon. Some time between Dec. 1862 (birth of Martha) and Oct. 1869 (baptism of children in Antrim), they moved to Devon, where they spent the remainder of their years. They settled near the original home of Archibald McMullen, Rachel’s grandfather. Daniel was said to have been a sea-going person (rigger in the 1871 census in Devon, Halifax Co.), and in later years as a farmer (as listed in the 1881 census) was extremely good at climbing and in rope knot-tying.

Their marriage record in the PRESBYTERIAN WITNESS Sat 3 Mar 1855, No. 9, p. 35, is as follows: "Married: Donald McDougal on 15th ult., to Rachel McMullin, by Rev. J. Sprott at New Antrim" (John Sprott, Presbyterian, from Musquodoboit). Donald and Daniel are sometimes used interchangeably. If one looks at the birth of their children, the first was born in 1848 (Willie, a young son buried in Kempt), but then the rest of the pattern goes 1856, 1858, 1860, 1862, 1865, 1867, and 1869. In 1848, Daniel and Rachel were 17 and 16 respectively. One could almost guess that the first son came "unexpectedly and prematurely", was perhaps raised with the help of others, then Daniel and Rachel were m. in 1855, and began the rest of the family.

Middle Musquodoboit United Church records, baptism 19 Oct. 1869, at the home of Mr. Moore, elder, New Antrim by Rev.

His name was originally shown in the bible as Joseph Howe McMullen, but later changed to Alexander Joseph. He married Jessie C Wells on June 16 1874. He was twenty four, she was sixteen. They were married in the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Truro. The family moved around a lot. They purchased land in Truro from Alexander's brother Thomas in 1875. We know they were in Arichat, Cape Breton in 1881 and 1882, in Sydney Cape Breton during 1884 and 1886, Debert in 1891 and they appear in the 1891 census for Upper Londonderry.

In Vernon they lived in a house by a creek and the railway. They had four more children, Alexander, twins Willis and Joseph and Frank. In 1893, Alexander and Jessie were received into membership of the Vernon Methodist Church, by letter from their previous church. Alexander was a carriage painter and later a carriage builder and owned a blacksmith shop. He died in Vernon Jubilee Hospital on April 23, 1933 aged 84.

His grand-daughter Verna remembers: 1922 (age 11) Grandma and Grandpa had moved from the old family home by the railway tracks to a grey and white smaller house not too far from the center of town. This house had no plumbing. Grandpa used to tease me that he had bugs in his lettuce and in his beard, until grandma told him to stop. His blacksmith shop was almost next store. The shop was very clean and big. Carriages are much cleaner than cars (no oil). The shop had the only elevator in Vernon, it worked by a pulley, to take carriages to the upper floor. A blacksmith worked in the shop with grandpa, and his forge was always going. Grandpa kept a bottle of some strong drink locked up in his office at the shop and took a drink each afternoon. He always went to bed right after supper and read piles of cowboy books in bed.

His grand-daughter Violet remembers: Walter and I used to visit Grandpa quite often on our way home from school. I remember once we brought him some porcupine quills and he gave us 5 cents. So we went and gathered more.

Alexander left first, to find a home for his family, he then sent for Jessie and the children. The train that Jessie and the children travelled on had no dining car; they had to carry food with them. At one point some of the children got off the train to get food, the train started to leave, they had to run for it. They changed trains at Sicamous, BC and travelled on the first passenger train into Vernon (June 1892). Jessie was visiting her daughter May in Vancouver, when she got a telegram to say that her son Frank had died of Spanish Influenza. She left for Vernon, by train the same day. The family was living at 215 Vance Street. Jessie died at the age of 85 eleven years after Alexander.

Her grand-daughter Verna remembers: Grandma worked hard always. The floors were covered with wide boards and several greyish hooked rugs that she had made. The quilts on the beds were hand-made, of course and nobody used sheets, they would have cost money. She was definitely in charge, always.

Her grand-daughter Violet remembers: I remember Grandma's beautiful quilts and rugs and she could tat lace. I sure wish I had asked her to teach me. She did teach me to knit.

Note: when I asked my Aunt Verna what the C was for in Jessie's name she said she thought it was for Charlotte, but was not sure.

MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION WITH MR. AND MRS. HERBERT CREELMAN, AT THEIR SUITE NO. 46, 2625 HEMLOCK STREET, FAIRVIEW, VANCOUVER, 25 MAY 1937.

ANDREW ONDERDONK. M.J. HANEY. C.P.R. CONSTRUCTION.

Mr. Creelman: “I came west with the first gang, when M.J. Haney commenced in March 1883; the gang had finished in Winnipeg; M.J. Haney was the bridge contractor—he was superintendent—and we came by the Union Pacific. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern were not through then; then we came up from San Francisco by the, I think it was, the ‘Geo. W. Elder’ to Victoria, then over to New Westminster, and up the Fraser. Yale was headquarters, and there were only three or four locomotives there, and two or three miles of track each side of Yale; Mrs. Creelman was not with me then; she came in 1886; there were a few railroad men with me; all the rest were bridge men, and for about two months I fired on ‘Old Curly’” (Emory, or No. 2), “wood burner, two foot lengths.”

C.P.R. TUNNELS.

“The end of the track was up past the big tunnel, past Spuzzum. The east end of the tunnel fell in, and there was one engine east of the tunnel; Ed Austin was her engineer and was with her, and, do you know, that engine was on the other side of that tunnel for seven months. The track was just a few miles to what we called ‘Cariboo Joe’s’ tunnel, i.e. the first tunnel on the other side of the big one.

“The track on this side” (west) “of Yale was down nearly to Hope—at American Creek—that was all the track—the two lengths, east and west of Yale, was all the track there was west of the mountains, when I came.”

EARLY RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVES.

“When I came first the engines were: Yale (known as No. 1), Emory (known as No. 2 or ‘Old Curly’), New Westminster (known as No. 3) and I think another one. Later that year, they got five engines, new Baldwin locomotives, all unloaded at Port Moody.”

C.P.R. LOCOMOTIVES. C.P.R. ENGINEERS.

“I was senior man as locomotive engineer, except Ed Austin, and I said to Mr. Cotterel, superintendent, C.P.R. here the other day, that I was now the senior man connected with the C.P.R. living. Jim Doig is older than I am, but I was here first. About all I know now living who worked for Onderdonk on the construction are W.H.” (Billy) “Evans, C.C. Brown, Teddy Hosker, Jim Doig, who was conductor, W.O. Miller, who was train despatcher at Yale, and, of course, Peter Barnhart, who lives in Kamloops; the rest live in Vancouver.

140

“W.O. Miller started as a telegraph operator at Yale for W.H. Armstrong” (later Armstrong and Morrison, Vancouver.) “Bill Miner was on the Yale, No. 1; Ed Austin had the New Westminster, or No. 3; Charlie Johnson had ‘Old Curly’” (No. 2), “and I had the ‘Savona,’ No. 4.”

C.P.R. CONSTRUCTION. PORT HAMMOND. C.P.R. OXEN.

“The ‘Savona,’ No. 4, was landed at Port Hammond, and they started laying the track from there both ways. Old Man Heath, an Englishman, he was a machinist in the shops at Yale, and claimed he was a locomotive engineer, but he put the engine in a ditch down at Pitt Meadows, and killed himself. I was on night shift, and it came my turn to be day shift, so they sent me down to get No. 4, and we pulled her out of the ditch, jacked her out with jacks, and” (laughingly) “pulled her into Hammond with two oxen, and before we got her ready for the road, there was another vacancy, and Teddy Hosker, who was firing for me, he got the night shift and I got the day. Hosker came down to the slough at Pitt Meadows; it was deep water; he had a canoe; and he got the body of Mr. Heath, and took it down to New Westminster.”

C.P.R. CONSTRUCTION.

“No. 4 was at Port Hammond, and there was another engine at Port Moody; they worked from both ends, and the track was connected up east of Westminster Junction. I was running the engine at Port Hammond, and Ed Austin was running the one at Port Moody, and the end running west from Hammond, and the end running east from Port Moody, finally were connected up, as I say, east of Westminster Junction.

“All the time they were working at Yale, and finally the track was connected up at Deroche.”

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS.

“A lot of Onderdonk men were lying around at Yale waiting for the C.P.R. to take the line over, so a lot of us went down to Agassiz, and up to Harrison Lake; there was nothing there then but a log shack, and an old cedar log chopped out, hollowed out, for a bath; it was not an old canoe, but a log chopped out to make it hold water for a bath. The water was too hot at first, so what you did was, put some in, and cool it off with a few pails of cold water, and after you had been in a little time you could stand it quite hot.” (See Morton or Findley narrative, Early Vancouver.)

It is very interesting to find Elizabeth Lively married to James McDougall Jr. of Cheverie. There were three intermarriages between McDougall’s of Kempt, James Sr. and his siblings Daniel and Mary Ann, with McMullin’s of Antrim, siblings or cousins of Mary. Thus, James Jr. and Elizabeth may have been first cousins, or 2nd cousins.

On 14 Sep 1892 when Elizabeth was 39, she married James McDougall (56) , son of James McDougall (23 Aug 1828-5 Aug 1901) & Jane McMullin (17) (1834-10 Mar 1900), in West Gore.

March 3, 1929 Windsor, NS), res at time of marriage New Antrim. She is d/o William Thomas Lively (b. Rawdon, N.S. d. Oct. 11, 1899, buried Gay's River Cemetery) and his wife, Mary McMullin (b. 1828, d. Jun. 28, 1896, buried Gay's River, beside Daniel and Rachel) - this info. from Arleen Lively (alively@atcon.com, 21 July 1997) and verified at NSHVS. They lived in Cheverie. Mary McMullin is probably a sister of Rachel McMullin, Thus, if Jane, Rachel and Mary were sisters, then James Jr. married his first cousin.

The obituary of Alexander McDougall reads as follows:

“A gloom has been cast over this community by the sudden death of Mr. Alexander McDougall of Guysborough Road, which occured at his fathers home on November 15th. Mr. McDougall had been ailing for some time but his illness was not thought to be serious until Nov. 3rd; he had been to consult his physician the previous evening and on the following day had driven some distance alone and on his return went to his parents home close by his own place; where he was stricken with paralysis. Drs. Densmore of Elmsdale and McLean and Haliday of Shubenacadie were called but all their efforts were unavailing. The remains were interred at Gays River, and 31 carriages containing relatives and other friends followed the body to its last resting place. Rev. A. B. Dickie conducted the funeral service.

The deceased was born at Kempt, Hants County, 43 years ago, but removed with his parents when small, quite near his late home. He leaves a wife and one daughter, aged parents and four sisters to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father, a devoted son, and a kind brother. This is the fourth time that Mr. and Mrs. McDougall have been called to part with loved ones, two sons and one daughter having died some years ago and now their eldest and last remaining son. The sisters surviving are Mrs. John E. Long of Richibucto, N.B., Mrs. George Slocumb of Malden, Mass., and Mrs. Miles D. Goff and Miss Bella McDougall of Guysborough Road.

The bereaved ones feel deeply the kindness shown by their neighbours and friends in their affliction, during the painful illness friends were ready to help and sympathize with the family and the many cts of devotion proved the high esteem in which the deceased was held by those who knew him. Mr. A. Gladwin’s consideration for all their wishes and his kind and sympathetic manner while performing the duties of Undrtaker were appreciated by all the relatives. The pallbearers were James G. Kerr, James McMichael, John McMichael, Edwin Hirtle, Freeman Nelson, Clifford Goff.”

McDougall, J.A., d. 15 Nov. 1899 at Guysboro Road, ae 43 (PW). Since his gravestone says 1900 but no date, it is likely he died 15 Nov. 1899 and was buried in 1900.

MD or "Uncle Dick" and Martha Jane McDougall were married in Milford Station, Hants Co., one day following the marriage of Mary Goff and Alexander McDougall. MD worked for his father's lumber business and ran a shingle factory. They lived for a short time immediately following their marriage in Oldham, Halifax Co., where their first son was born, and then in a house on the Guysborough Road, Hfx. Co., near William Goff's home, where their remaining two sons and one daughter were born.

In 1908, they purchased the Ross farm property in Milford Station. In the 1911 census, Guy 21, John 18, and Alexander 17 are living with Miles 48 and Martha 48. Flora is boarding with a Noonan family in East Dover. They built a new house on the farm in 1922. After the death of Martha in 1925, John returned to the farm and married Hazel Wright, who came to the farm to live. They carried on a successful farm for 36 years. MD went to Saskatchewan for a summer some time after Mrtha had apssed on. In 1944, M. D. sold the farm and moved with son John and family to a property in Milford Station next to the Milford United Church, a house which John built. He died in this house in 1960 at age 97. MD was a man of sterling character and was highly respected by all of the family members and the community at large.

“Miles Goff, 97, Dies at Milford,

Milford Station, March 15 - The death of Miles D. Goff, 97, which occurred at his home on Thursday, March 10, brought to a close the life of one of Milford’s oldest and highly esteemed residents.

Mr. Goff, who was born on June 14, 1862, was the fifth in the family of eight children born to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Goff, of Goffs, Guysborough Road. For 20 years he carried on farming and lumbering in Goffs, selling out in 1908 and coming to Milford with his wife and family. Here he purchased the Ross farm which he successfully operated until his retirement in 1944.

After retiring, he built a new home near the Milford church where he lived happily with his son John and Mrs. Goff. Four years ago he was called upon to bear the loss of his son John, who died very suddenly, but his Christian faith supported him and the excellent care given him by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Goff, helped to make life pleasant.

Mr. Goff was a home-loving man and was happiest there with his family, and was always pleased to welcome his friends. He was a man of strong Christian principles and convictions, and until a year ago was in attendance at all services in the Milford United Church of which he was a member. Of late, when infirmities of age prevented active participation in church and community activities, he was, nevertheless, interested in and supported all church and community work. He lived a full and rewarding life and even in the face of failing health never complaied, remaining cheerful until the last.

The funeral, attended by relatives and friends from his old home in Goff’s and friends from the nearby communities, was held from his late home on Saturday, March 12, and was conducted by his pastor the Rev. Russell MacLeod, who read comforting messages from the Psalms and the New Testament. He paid tribute to the Christian life of Mr. Goff and spoke of the Christian’s hope in the life hereafter. The Milford Choir led in the singing of “Unto the Hills” and “O Life That Will Never Let Me Go”. Burial took place in the Gays River Cemetery beside his wife who died in 1925. The many beautiful floral tributes testified to the esteem in which he was held.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the surviving members of the family, the daughter Flora (Mrs. Chester Wardrope) of Ottawa, sons Alex of Milford and Guy of Gull Lake Saskatchewan, who was unable to be present but who telephoned the family on Thursday. Also surviving are a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”

i. William "Guy" (10 Aug 1889-31 Oct 1967) Born on 10 Aug 1889 in Oldham, Halifax Co., Nova Scotia. William "Guy" died in Gull Lake, Sask., on 31 Oct 1967; he was 78. Buried on 3 Nov 1967 in Memory Gardens Cemetery, Swift Current, SK (CHRISTUS, Section 122, Plot C, Lot 3).

Guy travelled by train to the Canadian Prairies on the seasonal grain excursions as a very young man, probably beginning 1912, and settled near Gull Lake, Sask. at a young age. His sister and brother John had already travelled to Saskatchewan, in her case as a teacher and John for summer grain work. Guy farmed on the 'Bench' south of Gull Lake. He was neighbours to and worked closely with the Connick family, Lester and sons Raymond, Bill and Dick. Other neighbours were the Wheelers - brothers Henry and Clyde, and later Henry’s son Leonard. They moved up from Minnesota around the same time as Guy arrived in the west. The Connick farm was just a mile down the road from the Wheelers. (Note: Rod Stork is Henry Wheeler’s grandson). Other neighbours included Henderson, Probert, Fralick, and Pilling. Guy farmed until 1954 at which time he retired, married Elvie Marion Borden, a native of Waterville, N.S., and moved to a small house in Gull Lake. They had an “adopted” daughter, Carole.

James Jr. s/o James and Jane, of Cheverie, widower, b. Cheverie, m. 14 Sep. 1892 in West Gore, Elizabeth Lively (b. May 10, 1853 Antrim, N.S. d. March 3, 1929 Windsor, NS), res at time of marriage New Antrim. She is d/o William Thomas Lively (b. Rawdon, N.S. d. Oct. 11, 1899, buried Gay's River Cemetery) and his wife, Mary McMullin (b. 1828, d. Jun. 28, 1896, buried Gay's River, beside Daniel and Rachel) - this info. from Arleen Lively (alively@atcon.com, 21 July 1997) and verified at NSHVS. They lived in Cheverie. Mary McMullin is probably a sister of Rachel McMullin, Thus, if Jane, Rachel and Mary were sisters, then James Jr. married his first cousin.

1901 census, Kempt, James 44, Elizabeth 45, Minnie 16, Bertha 6. 1911 census, Kempt, James, head, Elizabeth, wife, Bertha, daughter.

James McDougall was listed as farmer, Brookville, in McAlpine’s Nova Scotia Directory, 1907-8.

On 1 Jan 1883 when James was 26, he first married Susan R. Wilcox in Brookville, NS. Born in 1858. Susan R. Wilcox died in Cheverie, Hants Co., NS, on 15 Nov 1889; she was 31. Buried in Bramber.

It is very interesting to find Elizabeth Lively married to James McDougall Jr. of Cheverie. There were three intermarriages between McDougall’s of Kempt, James Sr. and his siblings Daniel and Mary Ann, with McMullin’s of Antrim, siblings or cousins of Mary. Thus, James Jr. and Elizabeth may have been first cousins, or 2nd cousins.

I am writing to tell you how excited I was to find your history of the McMullin family. I am a descendent of Archibald, his great, great, great grandaughter! I'm in line from Archibald(1) to James(2) to William(9) to Samuel(50) to Raymond(198) who is my father, he was born Dec. 1912 (not 1913). He died June 1999, and is buried in Gays River Cemetary. Your info on my grandmother is correct. It was her story that first got me interested in the family history (I never knew her or my grandfather Samuel, as they died 9 yrs before my birth). I do have some memories of  my Uncle Harold & his wife, Aunt Sadie visiting us from the States, There was 19 yrs between him and my father (quite an age difference) I am in awe of my grandmother Clara, being a single mother in 1892 could not have been easy! After my father's death I found amonst his things his grand father William McMullin's will and the document from the province saying it was approved and registered, dated Dec.22,1881, needless to say I treasure these original documents.

Thanks again,

Subject: RE: McMullen genealogy additional information and hello!

Dear Doug: 

My grandfather (Ralph) ran away from home at age 16 and joined the Navy.  Apparently he had to get more than 100 miles away from home to find a recruiter he wasn’t related to, as he had to lie about his age to join.  He was a member of the Canadian Merchant Marines after WW I.  I have his original Radio Operator’s License that I found amongst my mother’s papers a few years ago.  Being a licensed ham operator myself (as is my husband), it was great to find Ralph’s Radio license, as well as his ships’ log and recommendations from his captains.  Ralph immigrated to the U.S. sometime in the 1920’s, and became a U.S. citizen.  My mother was born in 1932, in Dunkirk, NY.

My own father had gotten into genealogy some years ago, and had done a great deal on his side of the family (I am a Weller by birth – also born in Dunkirk).  He is now 88 years old, and lives here with our family.  We are in Northeastern Oklahoma.

It’s nice to find more history on the McMullen side.  My parents left Dunkirk in 1959, when I was 4.  OK – now you have that much, I was born December, 1955.  They moved west, first to Arizona, then ultimately to Central California.  We visited Dunkirk every few years after that until after my grandparents were gone.  I then took my two boys back to Dunkirk in 1991 to visit with family as one of my aunts had cancer, and I wanted her to at least be able to see my boys before she was gone as well.  There aren’t that many of us in Ralph’s line.

Here is the information I have directly from Ralph Irving McMullen’s notebook:

Father (Thomas R McMullen) born July 6, 1871 at Wentworth, Colchester Co. N.S. Canada

On 10 Jan 1947 when Olive Jean was 24, she married Ernest Edward Howell. Born on 4 May 1911 in Cowes, Isle Of Wight, England. Ernest Edward died in Vancouver, BC, on 15 Aug 1995; he was 84.

If I had to describe my father in one sentence it would be that "He was a good man". He didn't drink, smoke or use bad language. He never raised his voice or hand to his children or anyone. He took care to keep a good appearance, brushed his fedora hat and polished his black boots and was never overweight. My father worked hard and provided for his family the best he could.

Ernest Edward Howell and his twin sister Kathleen May Howell were born on May 4, 1911 in East Cowes, Isle of Wight, England. They were the children of William and Kate May (Allemande) Howell. The 1911 census in England was taken on the night of Sunday April 2 1911, so the twins missed being on this census by 32 days. His parents and his brother William (born 1908) were living at Number 2, Albert Street, in Cows, Isle of Wight.

During the years of World War one the family lived in Ryde (away from the coast). After the war they moved to #1 Langley Terrace Street in Cowes. This house had no electricity, they used oil lamps and the children took a candle upstairs to bed. His parents had two more children, Violet Gladys (born 1914) and Vera Eva (born 1916).

When Ernest was eleven year old his father died from tuberculosis (March 31, 1922), in earlier years his father had been a stoker (shovelled coal into the boilers) on board a ship.

His mother was unable to care for five children and on April 10, 1923, Ernest was admitted to the Harpenden Branch of the National Children's Home, in Herefordshire. He returned to the Isle of Wight in September of 1927 (age 16).

In 1930, he emigrated to Canada. He had to leave before his 19th birthday in order to get free passage from The Church Army, a juvenile emigration distributing hostel. He left England on May 3, 1930 and travelled steerage on the R.M.S. Meganta arriving in Montreal on May 12th with less than ‘1 pound' in money, about $3.60.

He worked on several farms in Gregg and Rivers Manitoba, earning $10.00 a month in the summer and working for board in the winter. In 1934 he jumped a freight train to Bernie, Manitoba and worked on several farms there. It was at one of these farms that the farmer not having money to pay him, gave him a book ‘The Manual of Dates' this book in now in my possession.

In 1942 he moved to Regina, Saskatchewan and joined the Canadian Army for the duration of World War two. During training in Prince Albert, North Saskatchewan, he injured his left eye, it became infected and eventually went blind.

A friend gave him the address of a woman also in the army, her name was Olive Jean Gillespie. Olive and Ernest corresponded for many months before they met. His army service went from November 1942 to October 1946, L 102693 Corporal. Ernest and Olive were married on January 10, 1947, in Vancouver, BC.

Ernest has worked for Dairyland Milk (maintenance), for the Bank of Commerce (in the furnace room) and for the Vancouver School board, as a stationary engineer and janitor.

In the years I was growing up my parents attended the Vancouver Temple Corp of the Salvation Army until it closed in August of 1982. But, I think he sometimes preferred to stay home alone on Sunday's and listen to the Church of England services on his shortwave radio. His interests in life were to listen to his shortwave radio, reading the English classics, cats, he loved desserts and in later years listening to audio books.

The Descendents of John C. McMullen of Upper Stewiacke

First Generation

—————————————————————————————————————————————

1. John C. McMullen.

From Stewiacke Centenary, 1900,

“John McMullen settled in Stewiacke Valley in 1824. He had three sons, James, Samuel, and Joseph, and three daughters.

James, eldest son of John McMullen, married Catherine Johnson; they had six sons, James, John, Adam, William, George and Robert; and four daughters; Nancy, married to John Pearson; Elizabeth, married to Jacob Wright; Mary Ann, married to Walter Rath, and Margaret.

Joseph McMullen married Rosanna Talbot; they had three sons, John, Charles and Milton; and two daughters; Elizabeth, married to Thomas McLeod, and Annie.”

There is no evidence to link John McMullen to Archibald McMullen, who came to Musquodoboit Valley in 1821, but a connection may be possible. They were about the same age and arrived at about the same time from the same place. Carol McRobb recalls hearing that the Archibald McMullen family was listed in the John McMullen family bible, which certainly suggests they were likely brothers. Anecdotally, descendants have also believed there to be a family connection.

In the 1838 census, Upper Stewiacke, a James McMullen Sr., farmer, 3 people in the household, and a James McMullen 2nd, farmer, 7 people in the household, both appear. It would seem that James Sr. was actually John, but that seems curious.

From the Miller book, Elizabeth McMullen of Stewiacke, m. Samuel Whidden as his second wife, Jan. 31, 1844. From Jane Wile, Elizabeth’s father was John.

From Miller, p. 171: Ann McMullon md. to Samuel McNutt, their d. Elizabeth m. March 1852 to Samuel Blair, b. 1808, s/o John and Isabella. Ann may be another daughter of John and Ann.

Robert McMullen, age 20, is in the 1871 census of Upper Stewiacke, living with widow Catherine, ae 63, Florence, ae 16, and George, ae 23. They are again found in the 1881 census of Upper Stewiacke, Catherine McMullen, ae 73, widowed, Margaret, ae 35, George, ae 33, Robert, ae 31.

Col. Co. marraiges: Robert McMillan (sic), 30 S res. and b. Upper Stewiacke, s/o James and Catherine, m. Feb. 18 1887 Lizzie H. Lovett 26 S b. Stewiacke Road, d/o Peter and Sarah.

Robert McMullen is found in the 1891 census of Salmon River, ae 38, wife Libbie, ae 30, Grant ae 2 and Charlotte, 11 months. They are again found in the 1901 census of Salmon River, Robert, 49, Elizabeth, 40, Grant, 12, Charlotte, 10, Susan, 2.

Headstone at Camden lists Robert McMullen, 1851-1901, dau. Susie M. 1898-1919, wife Elizabeth Serrett, 1860-1939. Also Grant S. McMullen 1888-1966, wife Ruth M. 1893- .

Note: Peter and Sarah Serrett re buried in Camden, so it would appear that “Lovett” is incorrect.

On 18 Feb 1887 when Robert was 34, he married Elizabeth Serrett. Born on 14 Apr 1860. Elizabeth died in 1939; she was 78. Buried in Camden, Col. Co., NS.

From the Index to the 1881 census, 73 SALMON RIVER 73 SERRET PETER 59 M, SARAH 58 M, ELIZABETH 20, SARAH 17, CHARLOTTE 11.

I wonder if she, Elizabeth, had been married previously as the name Lovett in the marriage index might indicate.

They had the following children:

i. Grant S. (11 Jun 1888-1966) Born on 11 Jun 1888. Grant S. died in 1966; he was 77. Buried in Camden, Col. Co., NS.

Grant was employed with Brookfield Creamery as the buttermaker for a number of years through the 1940's and 1950's, and he remembered a family connection with Martha Goff, dau. of Rachel (McMullin) McDougall, which was passed on through her grandson Everill Goff who also worked at Brookfield Creamery. This implies that John in Stewiacke and Archibald in Musquodoboit were related, brothers? No evidence of this has been found.

In 1917 when Grant S. was 28, he married Ruth M. Carter. Born in 1893. Ruth M. died in 1987; she was 94. Buried in Camden, Col. Co., NS.
