 The object in ct.r.ipiling t'losG ji-iy/jH is that the pros.-ai: mad iuturo

 The difficulties encountered in the prtx^ecutioa nf this work, 
 entailing reaearch over more than a century, are auch that we feel 
 obliged to appeal for sympathy, which few, except those engaged 
 in a similar work, have the power to bestow. Documentary infor- 
 mation waa not to be found, and many of the descendants are 
 widely separated. In •rder to procure a correct knowledge of fAct.^, 
 many familiea have bt«ea visited in various parts of Nova Scotia and 
 New Bruniwick, many have been solicited by letter, z\i\d very many 
 others interrogated on the street and at their iionieH. Vet with all 
 the effort put forth it is impossible to get the whole of the na?nea 
 required, though the success has In-en excellent. Wherein ther* 
 are failures the writer claims forbearan»;a. 
 
 The namas given in the Black connection are 8o numerous that it 
 appeared requisite to define the relationship held to the tir.st Wil- 
 liam Black. The reader, therefore, will find that in the introduc- 
 tion of his grand-children tha aames are in small capitals. 
 
 It waa at firat intended that thi.'j History should b« liiratcd to 
 William Block's descendants ; but the work is enlargt d by notice of 
 many of the first emigrants from Yorkshire and th«.'j; fivuuliea, and 
 also of Loyalist* from the United States, and other.s from the Briti-sii 
 Colonies, as then existing, to whom wt- re {^ranted large tracts of land. 
 
 The work lays no claim to literary merit, the oV>jeCi, being to give 
 CJncice statements of facts. 
 
 The record is brought dovt n to ! SS3. 
 
 Thii persons to whom the writer ia indebted for aHiistance in the

HISTORICAL RECORD 
 
 OF THE 
 
 Families of the Name of Black, 
 
 CHAPTER T. 
 
 William Black was born in Paisloy, Scotland, in 
 the year 1727. 
 
 His father was a public officer, and possessed an 
 independent fortune. His leisure was largely employ- 
 ed in the chase, and he kept a good pack of hounds. 
 Until William was twenty one yeai-s of age he had 
 turned his attention to little else than the recreation 
 of following the hounds. Soon after this he engaged 
 as travellinof salesman for a large manufacturino- con- 
 cern. In one of his tours he met an English lady in 
 Huddersfield, England — Elizabeth Stocks — whom he 
 married. About the same time he enoiajxed in the 
 linen and woollen drapery business. 
 
 By the spelling of the name Stocks, in the will of 
 Thomas Stocks, Stokes, his sister — Mrs. Black — and 
 her heirs were deprived of twenty thousand poinds 
 of the property, which went to a maiden lady named 
 
6 HISTORICAL RECORD. 
 
 Stokes, who was a connection of Mrs. Stocks. Mrs. 
 Black's portion was thus reduced to fifteen hundred 
 pounds. 
 
 Mrs. Black, as well as her husband, moved in the 
 higher circles of fashion and refinement. She was 
 accustomed to follow the hounds. When she came to 
 Nova Scotia, she brought the scarlet riding habit and 
 the cap she used to w^ear when eni^aged in the chase ; 
 also, dresses of embroidered white satin and other rich 
 and costly materials for which she found but little use 
 in the new country. 
 
 A few years after his marriage William Black's 
 mind was drawn toward Nova Scotia, as a most desi- 
 rable country. 
 
 At that time there were rich agricultural districts 
 in the province untenanted in consequence of the 
 expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia in the 
 year I75;j. An unbroken stillness had for several 
 years reigned ovav the ruins which showed tlie sites 
 of the former dwellings of those expelled. 
 
 In the year iToS Governor Lawrende, who was then 
 Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, had sjiven invi- 
 tations to the inha'oitants of the New England colo- 
 nies, inviting sucli as might be disposed to do so to 
 come over and occupy these lanrls, offering them liberal 
 inducements. 
 
 These people w^(;re moj'e readily induced to leave 
 New England and come to No\a Scotia by the liberal 
 acrrcemcnt, ratified by the Governor, th.at th.ey should 
 
WILLIAM BLACK. 7 
 
 have the unrestricted libert}' of exercising all their 
 civil and religious rights, there being at the time some 
 restrictions to religious liberty laid on some of the 
 denominations residing in New York, Virginia, and 
 other of the then British Colonies (now constituting 
 the United States). Governor Lawrence therefore 
 issued a proclamation secuiing full liberty of con- 
 science and worship to all denominations of christians. 
 These worthy people in coming to Nova Scotia found 
 themselves relieved from burdens tliev had borne at 
 home. 
 
 Amoncj those who came from New England was a 
 small Baptist Church which emigrated en masse from 
 Massachusetts to Sackville (then Nova Scotia), now 
 New Brunswick, in the year 17(53. They brought 
 their pastor with them and the church was soon after 
 consideral >!}' enlar<^e(l. 
 
 Michael TaE NV io ^fe who at that time was Lieute- 
 nant-Governor of Nova Scotia, enoasjced several fami- 
 lies to emigrate from Yorkshire, England, to Nova 
 Scotia in the year 1772. These people arrived in 
 Cumberland on the 21st May, having been detained a 
 few weeks in Halifax. Others came in 177*J and in 
 1774 from the same place and settled in diti'erent parts 
 at the head of the Bav of Fund v. 
 \ Our object at present is to speak of William Black 
 autl his descendants, vet we sl;all refer to mairv other 
 prominent families. 
 
 Mr. Black (then of Ilu^ldersneld, Er.glanJ), after 
 
8 
 
 ins']()RKAl, RECORD. 
 
 .somo careful lefloction respectino- a rcnnoval to Ame- 
 lica, prudoiitly concluded to see tlio country before 
 veniovini;- his family thitlier. In accordance with 
 these views ho n.'ached Halifax May, 1774, thence came 
 to Cumberland. Here he saw those who had emi- 
 ,^'rated from New En!.;'land residing'; at Amherst, where 
 lie purchased an estate, a part of which are the farms 
 now owned by Mv. Geor^-e Blaek, his sons, and Mr. 
 llupert Bla(;k. William Ulack returned to EnL;-lan 1 
 in the autumn of 1774 and in tlie following" A])ril 
 chartered a vessel in which lu; broug'ht his family, 
 consistinu^ of his wife, f.)ur sons, and a daui;]iter. He 
 also brought a lurrse givl who married a son of one of 
 the emigrants. He also brouoht some stoek of im- 
 jDroved breeds. He was detained at Halifax two 
 weeks when he again embarked for Cumberland. 
 Mrs. Bhick received some injui'ies in getting on board 
 the vessel at Hull which are supposed to have hastened 
 her death, which took place about a year after her 
 arrival in America. She was highly esteemed as pos- 
 sessed of an elevated mind and manv christian virtues. 
 Their eldest son, John, was sixteen years old when 
 they arrived at their new home in America. 
 
 At this time the population of Halifax was estimated 
 at 3,000 inhabitants, and that of the province at 
 12,000. This was about 25 years after the lirst settle- 
 ment of Halifax. 
 
 The several families who came from Yoi'kshire bore 
 the following names : — Dixon, Wells, Trueman, Wei- 
 
\V!I,i,!.\M i'.T.ACK. 9 
 
 don, Bowser, Cliapinan, Freeze, llipley, Sliiple}-, Faw- 
 cett, Keillor, Trenholni, Read, Donkiii, Oxley, Smith, 
 Atkinson, Dobson, Pipes, Anderson, Harrison, Johnson, 
 Robinson, Lusby, Foster, and others, whose niunerous 
 descendants are spread over the land to which their 
 fathers emigrated. 
 
 Most of these families are too well known to require 
 any eulocfv from the writer ; suffice it to say thev 
 have become household names through the country, 
 and are cfenerallv esteemed for their sobriety, industry, 
 and religious principles. Let it be remembered that 
 those who now, in the year 1S82, are accounted old 
 men, are the grand-children of those emigrants from 
 Yorkshire. 
 
 Chai'les Dixon purchased over two thousand acres 
 of land in Sackville, where he settled, on which some 
 of his posterity now reside. William Wells and Wil- 
 liam Trueman settled at Point de Bute, tlien called 
 Prospect, Ripley and Shipley at Nappan, Thomas 
 Bowser and John and William Fawcett at Sackville, 
 New Brunswick, William Freeze purchase ^1 what is 
 now known as the Keillor property at Amherst, also, 
 a large area of land on the southwest of the same and 
 now owned by several parties. At that time the 
 marsh produced broadleaf and other wild grasses, 
 except one small stack of English, and Mr. Freeze, 
 and most others, thought it was destined to remain 
 the same. He, therefore, sold and removed to Upper 
 Sussex, now Penobsquis, ^e\v Brunsv/ick, purchased 
 
10 HI-Tn!M'\:. 5»i:' r.lii>. 
 
 a large block of land on the river, with low lands 
 adapted to produce a lar^re quantity of English liay. 
 His posterity have filled, and some of them now fill 
 responsible situations in Kings County. William 
 Donkin lived several years at Westmorland, near Fort 
 Cumberland, and removed thence to River Philip. 
 George Oxley settled at Amlierst, but subsequently 
 removed to Wallace. John W^eldon first settled at 
 Hillsboro, N. B., and removcMi to Dorcliester in 1780. 
 Mr. Read first settled at River Hebert, and subse- 
 quently moved to Nappan. Thomas ' Lusby and 
 Thomas Robinson jointly bought lands lying in Am- 
 herst between Laplanche street anl the mill brook, 
 includinof the brook. Mr. Lusbv built a mill on the 
 brook. Some of the descendants now live on the 
 property. The Robinson portion is all out of the 
 name. 
 
 The most of these people were of the Methodist 
 denomination. In their accustomed zeal special meet- 
 in!.^s were held at Andierst in 1779^ when Mr. Blacky 
 ]\is wife, four sons and daughter all professed to have 
 entertained a h<jpe in the merits of the "Saviour and 
 united with the Methodist Church. Thomas S., th« 
 youngest son, some yoai's after, became a Baptist, a.s 
 will be noticed in chapter 5, William became a faithful 
 and very successful Methodist Minister, and John 
 also became a local preacher. More particular notice 
 ■will be taken of the doscendantii of these persons^ 
 beginninij with the eldest •• *

 The naiiiL'S of the children of Willliun ;iii(l Elizabeth 
 Black, who came with their parents from England, are 
 John, William, Richard, Thomas Stocks, and Sarah. 
 Mr. Black married a second wife, Elizabeth Abber, by 
 whom he had seven children, namely, Elizabeth, Marv, 
 Nancy, Jane, James, Alexan<ler, Joseph A., and George 
 Mason. After his second marriage he purchased a 
 larixe estate in Dorchester, New Brunswick, wdiere he 
 lived the latter part of his life with his son Joseph, 
 and where he died in the year 1820 at the advanced 
 age cf 98 years. Some of his grand-children now live 
 on portions of this same farm, other portions of it 
 having been sold and gone oiit of the name. 
 
 Mr. Black held the Commission of Justice of the 
 Peace for Cumberland, and in 1779 was appointed 
 Judge of the Common Pleas. To him, Edward Bar- 
 ron, and Charles Baker, were the Court House grounds 
 at Amherst, deeded, in trust for the County of Cum- 
 berland, by Mr. William Freeman, in the year 1788, 
 those three men being then prominent Justices of the 
 County. 
 
 William Black, Esquire, survived his second wife 
 Several years. He, at the age' of 88 years, rode on 
 l)orseback from Dorchester to Amherst, then thirty 
 iniles, to visit his sons residing there. He was a re- 
 markably well proportioned man, and retained an 
 erect and dignified bearing to old age. 
 
 Both secular and religious interests suffered se- 
 verely in Cumberland in consequence of the Revo- 
 
12 HISTORICAL RECORD. 
 
 lutionary War which had broken out, some of the New 
 England settlers sympathizing with their friends that 
 rev^olted. In 1776, by the influence of disaffected 
 persons in the country, the garrison at Fort Cumber- 
 land was besieged by a force from Machias. They 
 disarmed those who were friendly to the Government, 
 and forbade them to stir off their farms under penalty 
 of imprisonment or death. The number of men in 
 the garrison being small they did not attempt to come 
 out to relieve the country until they wore reinforced 
 by the arrival of a frigate from Halifax. In the night 
 the flashes and reports of the cannon and musketry at 
 the fort were watched and heard by Mr. Black's family 
 at Amherst, only a few miles distant. 
 
 Various and numerous were the difficulties tliese 
 Eno-lish emigrants encountered in this their new coun- 
 try, in w^hich Mr. Black shared, to perhaps a more 
 limited extent than many others. Botli the men and 
 the women were robust and vigorous, and remarkably 
 adapted to the settlement of a new country. Here we 
 will leav» them and notice their posterity. 
 
CHAPTER II. 
 
 John Black, as before noticed, was the eldest son of 
 William Black. He married Barbara Donkin, and 
 settled at River Philip. He was a Methodist local 
 preacher, and was always ready to every good work. 
 He secured the assistance of others, and was principal 
 himself, in procuring a grave-yard and a site on which 
 a church was built, mainly by means furnished directly 
 by himself. In this churcli he used to preach to the 
 inhabitants on Sundays, and industriously worked on 
 his farm during the week. He succeeded in clearing 
 up a large area of intervale and upland, which became, 
 in time, a very valuable farm. He was a Justice of 
 the Peace for Cumberland. 
 
 John Black had six sons and five daughters, whose 
 names were Elizabeth Stocks, James, Joseph, William 
 . )onkin, Nancy, Margaret, Matilda, John, Mary, Amos, 
 and Horatio Nelson. 
 
 Elizabeth Stocks, the eldest daughter of John 
 Black, was married to Joseph Oxley. They settled on 
 the River Philip. Mr. Oxley was a Justice of the 
 Peace, and was several times elected a member for 
 Cumberland of the Nova Scotia Assembly. He was a 
 man of few words, yet he discharged his public duties 
 with credit to himself and honor to the public.

 Head. They settled at Pu*,'wash. They ha«l three 
 sons and four daughters, named Mary Jani;, who died 
 at the age of IcS years, Jam^s Black, John, Stephen, 
 Sarah, Mai-garet, and Leanora. Mr. Read was a Jus- 
 tice of the Peace. 
 
 Mr. Read was very ingenious in woodwork. He 
 possessed a remarkably retentive memory. At one 
 time he ma<ie a tour in the United States and Texas, 
 and it was exceedingly interesting to hear his graphic 
 description of his travels. He sometimes entered into 
 particulars respecting the towns he passed through, 
 the number and quality of the hotels in each, tlieir 
 cost, the nund)er of rooms, etc. These statements 
 were made w'ith such precision that one could scarcely 
 avoid envying him of his memory. 
 
 When viewing the Table Lands in Texas he ima- 
 gined it to be the most desirable place under heaven 
 in -which to live, and some years after succeeded in 
 persuading his wife, his son Stephen and wife, and 
 his youngest daughter to remove thither, and accord- 
 ingly took them and went in the second search of that 
 happy land. He, however, searched in vain. Places 
 that he now visited presented to him a different 
 appearance from that of the previous visit. In the 
 few years that had elapsed since his first visit new 
 settlers had come in, the lands being occupied by 
 mixed races of people among wdiom Mr. Read and his 
 family thought it far from desirable to locate, and

 his wife and family, he left those pi-eviously admired 
 Table Lands, n^turned to Pui^wasli and settled himself 
 comfortably ui)on a farm, havini]^ the satisfaction of 
 knowing that not he alone hut his wife and family

 and zeal. He was stationed on scvcji-al circuits in 
 Nova Scotia and was finally appointed on circuits in 
 Jamaica and St. Vincent. He died in St Vincent in 
 the year 1839, aged 45 years, leaving his widow a 
 stranger in a sti'ange land. She had, by universal 
 reputation, been a helpmeet for a minister of the Gos-

 brought to the test in removing with her children to 
 her native home ; yet she vigorously surmounted the

 Now to return to tlie original stock wlio came from 
 England. 
 
 William Black wa«; the second son of William 
 Black, and was born in Iluddersiield, England, in 
 1760, and removed witli his father's family to Cum- 
 berland in 1775..,, ,fT > j,.!, ■,:. YTI^lii m'I 
 
 When quite young he was, for several years, with 
 his uncle, Thomas Stocks, at Otley, and was placed at 
 school. In the memoirs of Rev. W^iliiam Black, writ- 
 ten by Rev. Dr. Ritchie, tlie foUawins; incident is 
 related: — 'r, -rf/; ri '': . ,.'! i..:; 
 
 "Mr. Stocks, accustomed, it appears, to spend many 
 of his leisure hours in angling, brought home one day 
 n dive trout, and, for the amusement of his juvenile 
 nephew, threw it into a ti'ongh of water that stood in 
 the yard. William, after witnessing for some time, 
 with no small di^gree of satisfaction, the gambols of 
 his finny captive, stooped down, incautiously, to take 
 a drink at the mouth of the spout by which the water 
 was conveyed, and fell headlong into the trough. 
 The position in which he fell precluded the possibility 
 of using an effort to extricate himself from his condi- 
 tion of imminent peril. In a very short time he must 
 inevitably have been drowned had not a female

 domestic, happenin*;^ to come to the door just in time 
 to rescue him from the anus of death, seen liis feet 
 above the water and ran to his relief. His appear- 
 ance, when taken out of the water was ominous ; for 
 some time he Lay motionless and insensible, an<l 
 seriouirj apprehensions were entertained by his aillicted 
 friends that the vital spark wa^s extinct. To their 
 inexpressible joy, however, their fears were soon dissi- 
 pated." 
 
 His pious and excellent mother watched over him 
 with the tenderness of a mother's love. While h:s 
 father v/as on his first visit to America his mother 
 frequently took him aside to talk and pray with hiu , 
 explaining to uiiu how, at ti)e a^'e of sixiecn, she Wu» 
 convicted of sin and experienced foi'^^ivoness. 
 
 In the early part of the year 1771) a revival of reli- 
 gion took pl.n.ce at Andierst. Social religious meetings 
 were held frequently, and encouraging results followed. 
 The familv of Mr. Black shared in the benelits result- 
 ing from this work, for William and the rest of tl;e 
 family began a ditlerent life from that previously 
 pursued. In his experience William mentions several 
 of those woi tiiy old Englishmen \A\o were a benetit 
 to him in his distress of mind on account of sin. He 
 mentions William Wells, William Freeze, Thomas 
 So'urr, and others, likewise Mrs. Oxley and Mr.s. 
 Donkin. 
 
 Shortly after this tlie mind of William Black became 
 particulaily impressed with a desire to be useful to 
 
 1 
 
30 HISTORICAL KECOKD. 
 
 his fellowmen by preaching the Glad Tidings to them. 
 He, however, remained at Amherst with his father 
 until he had attained to his majority, which was in 
 the autumn of 1781. William Black left his father's 
 home in Amherst on the 10th November, 1781, under 
 the guidance of his Heavenly Father, directing his 
 steps to the Petitcodiac River. He preached in various 
 places, and returned in eighteen days, having preached 
 twenty-four times, feeling sure that his labor had been 
 abundantly L'lessed. Ho lia<l rv('cj\'el aijfond conxiuon 
 education, enabling him to deliver his message with 
 freedom and force. 
 
 About this time a " Newlight " preacher — Henry 
 Alline — attracted a large share of attention. The 
 force of the religious influence which he exerted has 
 never been erased, but can still be clearly traced in 
 many parts of the Lower Provinces. This man, who 
 resided in Falmouth, had, for several years, been living 
 a miserable existence for fear of death, under the ter- 
 rors of the law. At the aire of twenty-seven LVht of 
 the Glad Tidiness broke into his previousl}^ dark mind, 
 and he obtained strong faith in tlie merits of Christ 
 fis his Saviour. Comparing* this with the depression 
 he previously experienced, " Oh ! the astonishing won- 
 ders of His grace," he exclaimed, " and the ocean of 
 redeeming love. Millions and millions of praise to 
 His name ! and oh ! the unspeakable wisdom and 
 beauty of the glorious plan of life and salvation." 
 Mr. Alline visited Amherst and many places in the 
 
POSTERirV OF REV. WILLIAM BLACK. SI 
 
 Lower Towns, then so called. He attracted large 
 con;:ijregations, and the usual result of his preaching 
 was a revival of religion. In 1783 he went to New 
 Hampshire, where he died the next year, at the early 
 age of 36 years, and his works follow him. 
 
 As previously noticed, William Black about this 
 time had begun his itinerant work, for which he pos- 
 sessed special qualifications. He was soon the honored 
 means of gathering a large number into the Methodist 
 ociet}' at Amherst and other places at the head of 
 the Bay of Fundy. In 17^2 Henry Alline made a 
 second visit to thfse places. The result was that 
 many united with him, among whom were seventy 
 that belonged to Mr. Black's church.* The slight 
 clashingf which occurred betwet n these jiood men in 
 lonsequence of a difterence of opinion on the doctrinis 
 jf the Bible, was regretted b\ many mutual friends. 
 
 Rev. William Black was very highly esteemed by 
 the people generally, and particularly by the body of 
 christians to which he belonged — so much so that he 
 went by the title of Bishop Black and the Father of 
 Methodism in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. He 
 vas allowed the privilege of residing in Halifax for 
 uany of the last years of his life, the Conference 
 indly acceding to his desire in the matter. His 
 linistry was exceeding!}' successful, as may be learned 
 y his memoir. 
 Though this veneiable servant of tlie Lord is der.d

 he yet speaketh. On the 10th November, 1881, just 
 one hundred years had passed since he left his father's 
 home in Amherst, shouldered his knapsack and pro- 
 claimed salvation in the name of Jesus to the inhabi- 
 tants of Sackville and many other places on the 
 Memramcook and Petitcodiac llivers, when he had no 
 Conference to support him. He went forth at heaven's 
 call, by which he was guided as he walked the foot- 
 paths throuo'h the wilderness and forded the streams 
 or crossed them on a single locc. sometimes findiniT: the 
 flesh weak wdiile the spirit was willing. We will not 
 pause to picture the dangers and diiiiculties he encoun- 
 tered through the opposition of men who ought to 
 have welcomed the Glad Tidinirs and the messenirer 
 who bore them. 
 
 He may be correctly styled the pioneer itinerant of 
 Methodism in tlie throe Lower Pro vinces,now embraced 
 in the vast Canadian Dominion. The subsequent 
 irrowbh of the Methodist churches in these Lower Pro- 
 vinces has been such that they now show a membership 
 of abovit seventeen thousand and a propoi-fcionately 
 larcfe number of adlierents. Rev. William Black was 
 .social in his manner and judicious in his measures. 
 His labors were widely ditfused and in scarcely any 
 instance without apparent results in which all good 
 men will rejoice. 
 
 Mr. Black preached forseveii and a half years before 
 he was ordained. Mr. Wesley did not ordain any 
 until about >jeven "S'cais bel'ore his death. Tlie lirst to

 whom lie adjninistered the rite were Thomas Coke 
 (whom he sent out to snperinteml the work in Ame- 
 rica) and two others, in 1784. Previously to this, Mr. 
 Wesley's ordinations were by the national church. 
 In the year 1787 Mr. Wesley ordained James Wray, 
 and sent him out to superintend the cause in Nova 
 Scotia. In 1789 Mr. Black, with John and James 
 Mann, attended a Conference in Philadelphia, where 
 they were ordained by Thomas Coke and Francis 
 Asbury. It was thought by some of the ministers 
 that Wray sought with English determination to 
 enforce certain rules in a thinly settled country which 
 could not in all cases be carried out, and some differ- 
 ences had arisen. Harmony was soon restored, how- 
 ever, and Wray wrote to Dr. Coke to relieve him of 
 the responsibility of Superintendent by appointing 
 another. Mr. Black was innnediately appointed Super- 
 intendent of the work in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, 
 and Newfoundland. He accepted the charge, but not 
 without hesitancy. 
 
 The tirst Methodist Meeting House opened in Sack- 
 ville, N. B., was by James Mann in the year 1790. 
 
 Mr. Wesley died in the year 1791. 
 
 The Rev. William Black married Mary Gay, daugl>

 Martin Gay Black was universally acknowledged to 
 possess sterling principles, was a warm supporter of 
 the Methodist church, always ready to support the 
 missionary cause and other benevolent institutions. 
 Ho was for many years one of the forenjost merchant;* 
 in Halifax, iiiin in his principles, and was generally 
 esteemed by his acquaintances. 
 
 On one occasion a respectable gentleman living in 
 
 Cornwallis } ur jhased from Mr. M. G. Black a stock of 
 
 goods, and, on his return to Cornwallis, found with 
 
 1 regret that his buildings had, in his absence from 
 
 -home, been consumed, leaving him in a condition not 
 
 able to meet his engagement. He, therefore, proposed 
 
 jto return the goods. Mr. Black generously replied 
 
 [that he needed the value of the goods more than 
 
 'jforc, and authorized him to sell them and pay him 
 
 ^vhen he found it convenient to do so. 
 
 Hi<3 mode of trading is shown by the followin'r : -i

 On one occasion a woman in liis store bought some 
 small articles. The price asked by Mr. B. for one arti- 
 cle did not pleaso her. She njado use of her persuasive 
 powers, tliat women alone possess, when iinaily, after 
 long resistance, he yielded to her entreaties to sell a 
 .shade lower. When this woman w^ent to the door to 
 go away Mr. B. asked if there was not sijmething 
 wrong in the dealings ? She said, No. Mr. B. then 
 •said that she had persuaded him to reduce his price 
 on a certain article, which was contrary to his custom, 
 but he had laid the amount on other articles that she 
 purchased, an(.l, said he, I now hand you the extra 
 charge, but never try to beat me down again. This, 
 though a small matter, serves to show the systematic 
 manner in which he conducted his affairs.

 Mr. Barry was a dealer, to some extent, in glass and 
 chinaware, and made purchases of these from a, gentle- 
 man in New York whose daughter he became acquaint- 
 ed with and married. But there were conditions in 
 the marriage contract bv which they v/ere to live 
 alternately one year in Nova Scotia and one in New 
 York. They lived one year in Nova Scotia and a son 
 was born, then a year in New York, and Mrs. Bariy 
 refused to return to Nova Scotia. A daughter was 
 born. There was much dissatisfaction on account of 
 Mrs. Barry refusing to carry out the marriage contract, 
 and a separation was about to be formed when a diffi- 
 culty arose about which should have the children. 
 Mrs. Barry refused to give them up to their father, 
 and he brought a law-suit in the State of New York, 
 to obtain them, and succeeded ; but before he could 
 get charge; of them Mrs. Barry had escaped with the 
 
POSTERITY OF ilEV. WILLIAM BLACK. 4ff 
 
 children to an:>ther State that was not governed by 
 New York laws. Mr. Barry then brought suit in the 
 United States Court, which he conducted in person 
 and gained. Then a compromise was made under 
 which he was to have the son and she the daughter. 
 After this he lived at Liverpool, N. S. 
 
 In the year 1782, when the American colonies were 
 recognized by the British Parliament as independent 
 states, the many who had refused to take up arms 
 against Britain were required to seek homes elsewhere, 
 and before winter thousands of famili*s took ship to 
 seek them in the wilderness of Nova Scotia, which 
 included New Brunswick until 1784, when they were 
 constitut'Hl separate provinces. 
 
 Several of these loyalists removed to Shelburne, 
 among whom was Robert Barry, the father of John 
 A. Bariy, Vv'ho was hi.'^hly esteemed, particularly by 
 the Methodists. A lan-'c miuiber of the loyalists went 
 to Parrtown — now St. John — and in the autumn of 
 1788 over live hundred framed houses were erected 
 there. 
 
 It is extremely difficult to oret a correct list of the 
 posterity of Rev. William Black, a large number 
 having removed to England and the United States of 
 America.

CHAPTER V. 
 
 Thomas Stocks Plack was born in England and 
 came with his father to America. At that time he 
 was the youngest and fourth son of the first men- 
 tioned William Black. The maiden name of the wife 
 of Thomas S. Black was Mary Freeze, whose father 
 also came from England. 
 
 In the year 1804 Thomas S. Black purchased a farm 
 at Amherst for £180, where he settled. The farm 
 contained 540 acres, about 200 of which was marsh 
 and bog. A large portion of this farm, both upland 
 and marsh, was at the time uncultivated. About the 
 year 1822 the proprietors of marsh lands in Amherst 
 commenced digging a canal to drain the marshes. 
 This canal crossed the marsh of Thomas S. Black and, 
 after six years, when finished, it had cost him £200. 
 Subsequent enlargements cost about £125 more. The 
 result of the^e expenditures is that nearly the whole 
 is now valuable marsh. The upland has also by in- 
 dustry been proportionately improved, so that now it 
 consists of four valuable farms and other smaller 
 portions, all owned by the children and grand-children 
 of Thomas S. Black. 
 
 In the year 1814 one Robert Berry sold at auction 
 
POSTERITY OF THOMAS S. BLACK. 83 
 
 at Amherst Point several ten-acre lots of marsh, grow- 
 ing chiefly broadleaf grass. RicRard and Thomas S. 
 each purchased a lot for which the latter paid £15 l/6d 
 per acre. It would now appear that the amount 
 would have been more judiciously expended in clear- 
 ing up the low lands of th«ir farms. 
 
 It has been previously noticed that, four years after 
 their arrival in Cumberland, there was a religious 
 excitement in which the family experienced a change 
 of principles. At that time William 2nd, at a prayer 
 meeting, became very joyful in religion. After going 
 home at midnight he conversed with his brother 
 Richard, and they kneeled beside the bed and prayed. 
 John and Thomas S. hearinif from their bed, joined 
 them, and at that time Thomas S. declared that his 
 sins were blotted out. 
 
 About the year 1806 the views of Thomas S. Black 
 in regard to baptism were changed and he united 
 with the Baptist Church at Amherst. Soon after this 
 he was set apart as deacon, which office he continued 
 to fill to the close of his life, in the vear 1850, ajred 84 
 years. 
 
 Mrs. Black, his wife, died in 1842, aged C6 years. 
 
 Thej- had seven sons and five daughters, named 
 Elizabeth, Josiah, William Freeze, Almira, Joshua 
 Freeman, Samuel Freeze, Mary, Cyrus, Charles Freeze,

 m-mber of the Le^•islatui•e of New Brunswick. 
 
 The peculiar cii'cumstances of this election call for 
 seme notice 1 ere. The County of Westmorland was

 election rpoken of Mr. Chapman slood third. Mr.

 advance of Mr. Gilbert. Various were the conjectures 
 resj^ccting this matter. Many, however, felt satisfied 
 it was perfectly understood between them. A com- 
 mittee was struck in the House of Assemijly to try 
 the appeal, when the committee for.nd it next to 
 impossible to decide, there bcino^ a very large number 
 of Freneh voters, many of them of the same name and 
 others so singularl}'' spelled that they therefore recom- 
 mended the holding of another eh^ction. 
 
 The writer is not surprised that the committee 
 cmld not decide the election, for he has s< en the li^t 
 of voters for the parish of Dorchester and found about 
 a score of ])ersons of the same name, except witli slight 
 variations in initials, in some eases, e. g., Taddy Whit' ,

 CHAPTER VIL 
 
 Elizabeth, the eldest child of the first named Wil- 
 liam Black, by his second wife, was married to Joshua 
 Freeman, who owned and lived on a farm in the centre 
 of Amherst. He was a prominent memljcr of the 
 Baptist Church, and very zealous in his Master's 
 cause. 
 
 About the year 181G he sold his farm and moved to 
 Hamilton (Upper Canada) now Ontario, where he 
 purchased a fai'm. lie took with him his children r.s 
 .follow: William, Jerusha, Elizabeth, John, Amanda, 
 Joseph, Joshua, Mary, Samuel, and Ezra. Tvv'o twin 
 dauofhters were boin after they arrived at Hamilton, 
 one of whom died when young. Ezra v, as drowned 
 when a younc!: man. 
 
 At that time thei'e were no steamships, no railroads, 
 •io convey tiiem to their destined houK^, hence tlie faci- 
 lities for travellimjf lonjx distances were exceedino'lv 
 limited, and tlie removing of a large family that 
 distince, v.'Ith all the ti'ials of passing through a new 
 and sti'ange country, were difficulties not easily sur- 
 mounted. , _ , , . . . 
 
 In September, 181 G, the family emljarkcd on board 
 a small sailing vessel at Bay Verte. Several friends 
 from Amherst accompanied them to the Bay to bid 
 
POSTKlilTY OF i:LIZABETIJ JJLACK. 125 
 
 them, vvhat many thought to be, a final farewell. 
 The sadness with which adieux were spoken, and the 
 touch in <^ sitrht of the father supporting his two grown- 
 up, weeping dauL,difcers as they stepped on board, 
 followed by the remain Jer of the fuinily, wore long 
 reiiienibered by those who witnessed the scone. Such 
 partings were not then mitigated by the rapid commu- 
 nications between friends which are possible to-day. 
 Tlie journey which then occupied several weeks may 
 now be perfoimetl in three days. 
 
 After a few days Mr. Freeman's family arrived in 
 Quebec, whence they made their way, parLly by canal 
 boats and partly by other modes of travelling to what 
 is now the city of Hamilton. Mr. F. pureliascd a huge 
 area of land a few miles from Hamilton, which was 
 afterwards called Wellinijton 8ouare. The industry 
 of the family and the passing of railroads throu^'h the 
 farm caused a large advi^nce in the value of this 
 property some years afterwards. 
 
 William, the eldest son of Josli ua Ficcn»a:i, settled 
 in Hamilton, and owned a valuable property llis 
 wife's maiden name was Catherine Gvixc. iiyev both 
 died, leaving a family of ^vown ehil Iren, About the 
 year 1854 William Freeman accompanied by a si.n 
 and his wife, made a visit to their friends in the lower 
 provinces. 
 
 Jerusha, the eldest daughter of Joshua Freeman, 
 was married, and is not now living. It is much to be 
 regretted that a inore minute account of some of 
 
126 HlSTuaiOAL LECORD. 
 
 Joshua Freeman's posterity could not be obtained. 
 One thing the writer recollects distinctly, (.'.'specially 
 when he see3 a scar on his lefo arm, that, when six 
 years old, Jerusha vaccinated him for small pox, in 
 the summer before she left Amherst. 
 
 Elizabeth — called Bet^v — was married to John 
 Moore. They had four sons and three daughters. 
 The second daughter, named Clementine, was married 
 to Silas Black, of Dorchester, son oi Geori^c M. Black. 
 Further account in Chapter 13.

 In the absence of fui'ther information respecting 
 this interesting portion of William Black's posterit)', 
 we close this cliapter by saying that many of them 
 hold prominent positions in society; their circum- 
 stances are generally good ; the members of the familj » 
 like those of many others, are considerably scattered, 
 and arc quite numerous.

 1839, visited his native place. About the year liiil) 
 Jo.shua 2nd and his wife and Mrs. Moore made a visit 
 to their friends here. These visits were all very wel- 
 come, and were returned by many from here, the

 fn this estimate the descendants of Elizabeth Black,

 Their posterity are scattered ahout in Ontario and

 o'ltniu tlie correct numbers. Many othei-s of the con- 
 nection have removed — some to Enj^land, others to 
 the Ifnited States — and are married an<i have children.

 WELDON. 
 
 The first Mr. Weldon left London for Halifax in 17C0. 
 The vessel in which he sailed was wrecked on the 
 coast of Portugal. Returning to London in 1761, he 
 found his wife and family had sailed for Halifax, 
 where he joined them in the fall of the same year. 
 The next year he settled at Hillshoi-o, now Albi^rt 
 County, N. B., whence he removed to Dorchester in 
 the year 1780. He had children named Andrew, John, 
 and Thomas. 
 
 Andrew and John remained on the farm of their 
 father, just on the borders of the village. The chil- 
 dren of Andrew are named Mary, Elizabeth, John, 
 Thomas, William, Gideon, Ovid, Esther, Judith, AmoR, 
 and Ephraim, and are somewhat scattered, though most 
 of them reside in the County of Westmorland, "'n 
 Chapter 8 there is notice of the first John's fam:-; 
 whose wife's name was Black. Thomas, the first, left 
 S'iveral daughters who have families. Tlieir husbands 
 V)ore the several names of Harper, Church, Palmir, 
 Brooks, Stuart. 
 
 John, a son of the first Thomas Weldon, lives at 
 Dorchester, and has children. 
 
FBCEAiAN. 
 
 Another larg-e and renpectable family, whose po«- 
 teritj is widely spread through the Dominion, and 
 particularly at the head of the Bay of Fundy, will be 
 noticed. This reference is to the posterity of William 
 Freeman, who came from Ensjland, not far from the 
 year 1765. If so, he was here several years before 
 these people came from Yorkshire. He married Jeru- 
 sha Yeomans about the time of or very shortly after 
 their arrival in America. Their children consisted of 
 five .sons and nine daughters. One of the sons dieti 
 in infancy. The survivors were named Sarah, Wil- 
 liam and Jerusha — twins — Samuel, Joshua, Elizabeth, 
 Dorothy, Martha, Philip, Hannah, Ann, Charlotte, and 
 Rebecca. - ., 
 
 Sarah, the eldest, wa.? married to a Mr. Weather- 
 head. Thev lived at Westmorland, N. B., where thev 
 had a family of children. 
 
 William married Desiah Newcomb, of Horton. 
 They had one son and seven '^aujrhters, named Per- 
 melia, llufus, Olevia, Mary, Charlotte, Eunice, Mar- 
 garet, and De.siah. Mrs. Freeman died in 1811. Mr 
 Freeman was again married, to Sarah Dimock, sistiM- 
 of Rev. Joseph Dimock and Rev. George Dimock. 
 By the second marriage there were three sons and 
 three daughters, named Jane, Daniel, Joseph, Matilda, 
 G. Williamj and Elizabeth. The youngest two sons 
 and their children own and Vivv on the farm he left, 
 
1(J0 . HLSTURiCAL KE001U>. 
 
 which is a vahiable property. The youn^csb son, 
 (jreorge William, is particularly ingenious, and has 
 invented considerable inachinerv. 
 
 Rufus, the only son of th) lirst wife, was enrjaged 
 in mercantile pursuits. He was highly esteem jd, and 
 died when a young man. He huilt the liist part cf 
 the Lamy Hotel. 
 
 Jerusha, the twin sister with William, jr., was m.ir- 
 lied to James Hew^'on. Thi^v lived at Jolicuro, hrw 
 Brunswick, and had children. 
 
 Samuel, the second son, owned an e.xcel]ont farn», 
 and pro.spercd beyond most of farmers. Hi.s youngest 
 .son now owns and lives on the farm. Tho i:amrs <■'(

 thing put into the ground grew without disease, and 
 the peoi:)le appeared to enjoy life, though liv'ing in 
 comparative seclusion.

Settlers from NEV\r England. 
 
 Some years previously to the arrival of those Eng- 
 lish people in this new country, several families 
 removed from New England, and settled at the head 
 of the Bay of Fund3^ Some of these returned to 
 their oli home after the Revolutionary War. Some 
 of those who remained are known by the names Gay, 
 DesBarres, Morse, Barron, Huston, Baker, Bent, Chap- 
 pell, Watson, Ayer, etc. 
 
 In the year 1763, Lord Amherst established three 
 Townships in the County of Cumberland, which 
 county embraced what is now Westmorland and 
 Albert Counties. The western portion of these coun- 
 ties was a dense wilderness, and the western bounds 
 of Cumberland had probably never been defined. All 
 the remainder of what is now New Biunswick was 
 the County of Sunbury. 
 
 The townships Lord Amherst established were Cum- 
 berland, Amherst, and Sackville. The Township of 
 Cumberland embraced all the lands between the 
 LiPlanclie and the Au Lac, extending east to Pay 
 Verte, and west to the Bay of Fundy, and compri; ing 
 over 80.000 acres. Th« fort named Beauj^ejour, that 
 had a fe'v years previou'^ly lK.'en taken from 1112

 officej's of the Rritisli (iov(;rniuont wei't^ settlcHl near 
 
 tlie Fort. In this year a eonmiittoe of seven was 
 
 appointe<l to petition (Jovernor Wiluiot to admit Cuui- 
 
 herland as a townsliip and have tlie [)rivllei;e of 
 
 sendin<jf a ineniber to tlie Assembly. Tiie prayer was 
 
 gi-anted, and Josliua Winslow was the Hrst repi-e- 
 
 sentative. 
 
 Shortly after, Amlierst and Sackville became town- 
 
 sliips, and obtained like privileges. 
 
 Several persons procuretl a grant in Cumberland 
 
 Township extending to Bay Verte, and embracing 
 
 .*}4,000 acres. One of these was Joseph Morse, the 
 
 ;reat grand-father of Judge Morse, oF Amheist. 
 
 A grant of 15,750 acres was soon after obtained in 
 
 the same township. 
 
 At this time larijfi; <rrants of land were f)frere<l in 
 Nova Scotia by the British (lo/eriniient to paities 
 upon the consideration that tliey settle the land. The 
 land having been taken from tlie French a few years 
 previous, fears were ento-tained of their n'turn. 
 
 Colonel William Frederick Wallett DesBarres ob- 
 tained 20,000 acies at Tatamagouche, 20,000 at iMem- 
 ramcook, and all Minudie, which he settled with 
 Frencli. Subse(juently his title was dispnted, and, if> 
 some cases, the ])esBarres descendants gained ; in 
 others a compromise was made. O.ir Ju<lge Des- 
 Barres is a grandson of the colonel, his father liaving 
 been G(>\ernor <»f Nova Scotia.
