Mary McPhail and Roderick Campbell had the following children:
Mary married Roderick Campbell [91], son of John Campbell [96] and Isobel [95], about 1812 in PEI, Canada. Roderick was born about 1777 in Ardnacross, Kilninian & Kilmore, Mull, Argyll, Scotland and died after 1861 in DeSable, Lot 29, Queen's County, PEI, Canada.
Death Notes: Roderick's name was not found in the 1861 Census, but Archibald Campbell, believed to be Roderick's son, was then living on Lot 29 with a widower of 60+ years. Roderick's name is not on the stone with Mary's but the stone is damaged and its wording may be incomplete. It was also common among Scots to avoid the cost of having additional names engraved on a stone after the initial name was cut.
Roderick Campbell was born in 1777/1778 in Ardnacross, Kilninian & Kilmore Parish, Mull, Argyll, Scotland.
In 1779, at about age 1\endash 2, Roderick was living at Ardnacross, Mull. He was the son of a fencible man. At that time, his mother and grandmother were keeping house, while his father was absent.
He is believed to have first married a woman surnamed McEachern on the Isle of Mull, with whom he had a son named Alexander.
Roderick immigrated to Prince Edward Island in 1808 aboard the ship Clarendon, accompanied by his parents, his brother Donald, and his son Alexander.
After arrival, he likely worked with his father and brother to establish the family homestead at DeSable before acquiring his own farm near Westmoreland Harbour in Lot 29.
About 1812, Roderick married Mary McPhail in PEI when he was about age 33\endash 34.
A map compiled from the January 1818 survey shows Roderick occupying a 150-acre property at the southeast corner of Westmoreland Harbour. Two dwellings are depicted beside the Tryon Road, and the later road from the seacoast to Hampton followed the eastern boundary of the property.
Mary died in 1833 when Roderick was about age 54\endash 55.
By 1880, Roderick's former property had been subdivided into three 50-acre lots owned by Thomas Bullpitt, Abraham Meyers, and William Patrick.
Roderick likely died at the home of his son Alexander near DeSable.
Roderick and Mary had eight sons and four daughters.

NEIL immigrated to Prince Edward Island in 1810 as a single man with his parents and siblings, settling on Lot 30 in Queen's County along the Argyle Shore. He would have worked to get his father's original homestead established. On 15 May 1817, NEIL, with his next oldest brothers COLIN (MP1143) and JOHN (MP1144), paid £300 to purchase 300 acres of land immediately west of their father's lot on the Argyle Shore, from Montgomery, the landlord for Lord Selkirk, the absentee owner. This allowed the three brothers to establish their own households, and farm their own land. Four years later on 9 December 1821 they increased their holding to 400 acres when they acquired the property of their late father MALCOLM (MP114).
NEIL chose the 100 acres immediately to the west of his father, and on the 1863 Lake Map N. McPHAIL Sr is shown there. His son ANGUS (MP11415) was listed as the owner in McApline's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71 even though the widowed NEIL, now 83 years old, was still living. NEIL evidently had retired from farming and turned the farm over to his son.
On 18 Dec 1814 when Neil was 27, he married Isabelle (Isobel?) McINNES, daughter of Angus McINNES & Margaret _______ (Mrs. Angus McInnes) (abt 1748-), in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlotte Town. Born in 1787/1788 in Scotland. Isabelle (Isobel?) died in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, in Sep 1860; she was 73. Buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery. Occupation: Housewife. Religion: Church Of Scotland >> Free Church Of Scotland.
She is thought to have been the daughter of Angus & Margaret McInnes and to have come to the Island on board the brig Rambler which arrived from Tobermory, Mull on the 20th of June 1806. At that time her age was given as 16 years. [b.1789/90]
They had the following children:

To Argyle Shore, PEI in 1810 with her parent(s).
On 12 Nov 1810 when Catherine was 20, she married Peter FERGUSON, son of Archibald FERGUSON (1738/39-aft 1785), in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlotte Town. Born in 1769/70 in Ulva, Mull, Argyll, Scot. Peter died in Hampton, Lot 29, PEI, bef Jul 1868; he was 99. Buried in Argyle Shore Cem.
J.J. MacEachern gave a marriage date of 12 Nov. 1810. If correct, then they married not long after they arrived on PEI. Four vessels are known to have got to Charlottetown in September 1810. This Ôspeed' implies that they either knew one another back on Mull at Tobermory or met on the same ship to PEI.
With a marriage at that time, it would have been conducted in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlotte Town by Rector Theophilus DesBrisay. Families arriving in September 1810 would not have gone to live on their lots before winter set in.
- To Hampton, PEI in 1810 with brother Donald.
- Peter homesteaded land in Lot 29 at what became the village of Hampton. His 100 acres stretched inland from the Northumberland Straits, and the present day road from Hampton to the shore formed its western boundary. The present day Trans-Canada Highway bisects the property into two nearly equal portions. His brother Donald took up land on the west bank of the DeSable River above the present day crossing of the Trans-Canada Highway. It would appear that enough others took up land in the Hampton - DeSable area that when it came time to acquire lands for Peter's sons, that none was readily available. Peter acquired the 100 ac. property immediately east of CATHERINE's father's homestead on the Argyle Shore which was held by her brother COLIN McPHAIL (MP1143). In time this property was divided north-south between his sons ARCHIBALD (MP11421) and ALLAN (MP11422).
Will dated 4 Mar 1850/ Proved 24 July 1868 on oath of Hector Campbell.

They had the following children:
Catherine married Peter Ferguson [1476] on 12 Nov 1810 in St Paul's Anglican Church, Charlottetown, PEI, Canada. Peter was born from 1769 to 1770 in Ulva, Mull, Scotland, died before 1868 in Hampton, Lot 29, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery, PEI, Canada.
The marriage date of 12 November 1810 was recorded by J. J. MacEachern. If correct, the marriage occurred shortly after the couple's arrival on Prince Edward Island. Four vessels are known to have arrived in Charlottetown in September 1810. The short interval between arrival and marriage suggests that Catherine and Peter may have known one another previously on the Isle of Mull, possibly in Tobermory, or may have met during the voyage to Prince Edward Island.
Given the timing, the marriage would have been conducted by Rector Theophilus DesBrisay. It would have been conducted in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlotte Town by Rector Theophilus DesBrisay. Families arriving in September 1810 would not have gone to live on their lots before winter set in.
Peter Ferguson was born in 1769 in Ulva, Mull, Argyll, Scotland.
Peter emigrated to PEI and settled at Hampton, Lot 29, PEI where he homesteaded 100 acres of land stretching inland from the Northumberland Strait.
On 12 Nov 1810 Peter married Catherine McPhail in Charlottetown, Queens County, PEI at age about 41.
Catherine McPhail died in 1850 when Peter was about age 81.

39. Colin McPhail [85] (Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born from 1793 to 1794 in Kilmore, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, died on 12 Oct 1871 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, aged 78, and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery, PEI, Canada.
Colin McPhail was born between 13 October 1793, based on his gravestone, and 18 July 1794, nine months before the baptism of his younger brother John. Although no baptismal record exists, he was very likely baptized in Kilninian and Kilmore Parish, Isle of Mull, Argyll, Scotland. During the period from October 1783 to 31 December 1793, a tax on recorded baptisms resulted in a substantial decline in recorded entries, and it is believed that the minister collected no tax and made no notation in the parish register.
Colin emigrated from the Isle of Mull to Prince Edward Island in 1810 with his parents and family, as stated on his gravestone. In 1819 and 1821, he joined with his brothers Neil and John to acquire land from the agent of the absentee landowner Lord Selkirk.
Following his father's death in 1821, and with his older brother Neil already established on his own property, Colin assumed occupation of the original family homestead. He was enumerated there in both the 1841 and 1861 censuses. The 1863 Lake Map shows "C. McPhail" on the south side of the Argyle Shore Road, situated between the properties of N. McPhail Sr. and the Fergusons.
In 1831, Colin appears to have acquired an additional property further east along the Argyle Shore. This land, which later passed to his son Alexander prior to the 1861 census, was identified in the 1880 Atlas as having been settled in 1831. The property was evidently unoccupied at the time of the 1841 census.
Colin was recorded as a witness at the marriage of his daughter Catherine to Colin L. McPhail of Meadowbank, Lot 31, on 16 April 1863. In McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71, his son Malcolm is identified as operating the farm while Colin was still living, suggesting that Colin's reported paralysis had necessitated the transfer of farm operations.
Colin's obituary states that he "lived a blameless life and enjoyed the respect of all who knew him," and that he served for many years as an elder in the Church of Scotland.
His occupation was recorded as farmer.

Colin McPHAIL (Malcolm3, John2, Alexander ?1). Born in 1793/1794 in Killiemor, Kilninian & Kilmore Parish, Mull, Argyll, Scot.

User ID: MP1143.
- Born between 13 October 1793 [based on his gravestone] and 18 July 1794 [nine months before the baptism of his brother JOHN (MP1144)] on the Isle of Mull, Argyle, Scotland, and baptized likely at Kilmore in Kilninian and Kilmore parish although no record was made. Between October 1783 to 31 December 1793 there was a tax on the recordings of baptisms with the result that there was a 70% decease in recorded baptisms. COLIN was very likely baptized but the minister collected no tax and made no notation in the register.
COLIN came with his parents and family to the British colony of Prince Edward Island, North America from Mull in 1810 as stated on his gravestone. In 1819 and 1821 he joined with his brothers NEIL (MP1141) and JOHN (MP1144) to acquire land from the agent of the absentee land owner Lord Selkirk. Details are in Appendix 1. At his father's apparent demise in 1821 and with his older brother NEIL having his own property, COLIN took over the original MALCOLM McPHAIL (MP114) homestead and was there for the 1841 and 1861 Censuses. The Lake Map of 1863 shows C. McPhail on the south side of the Argyle Shore Road between N. McPhail Sr. and the Fergusons.
COLIN seems to have acquired a lot further east along the Argyle Shore in 1831. This property, which passed to his son ALEXANDER McPHAIL (MP11433) prior to the 1861 Census, was identified as having "been settled in 1831" in the 1880 Atlas list of subscribers. It evidently did not have anyone living on it in the 1841 Census.
COLIN is mentioned as a witness at the wedding of his daughter CATHERINE (MP11432) to COLIN L. McPHAIL (2135) of Meadowbank, Lot 31 on 16 April 1863. In McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71, his son MALCOLM (MP11431) is identified as running the farm even though COLIN was still alive perhaps indicating that COLIN's "paralysis" had forced a turnover.
His obituary adds "The deceased lived at blameless life and enjoyed the respect of all who know him, and was for many years an elder in the Church of Scotland."

41. Sarah McPhail [1506] (Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born about 1797.
Sarah (McPhail) Morrison is believed to be a daughter of Malcolm McPhail and Flora McLean. Her inclusion in this family is based on contextual analysis rather than direct documentary evidence.
Her marriage in 1817 suggests a young woman likely in her early twenties at that time. Given the demographic conditions among early immigrants to Prince Edward Island, including a shortage of marriageable women and a strong incentive to establish households soon after arrival, it is considered unlikely that a woman of marriageable age in 1810 would have remained unmarried until 1817 without particular reason. Her inferred placement also aligns with an apparent chronological gap among the known children of this family.
No children of Sarah McPhail are known.

SARAH McPHAIL is thought to be a daughter of MALCOLM McPHAIL and Flora McLean. Her inclusion in this family is based on the idea that her marriage in 1817 likely indicates a young woman of about 20 years age. Given the shortage of "eligible women" at that time amongst the new immigrants and the desire to set up households, a woman of marriageable age in 1810 would likely not have to wait until 1817 for a suitor. The estimated date of birth above also fits nicely into a "gap" in this family.
Children not known
On 7 Nov 1817 Sarah married Neil MORRISON, in St. Pauls Ang., Charlottetown, PEI. Born abt 1795. Rev. Desbrisay was the clergyman.
Further details on this family have not been found, but a Morrison family did exist in Lot 29 in the 1891 Census.
Sarah married Neil Morrison [1507] on 7 Nov 1817 in St Paul's Anglican Church, Charlottetown, PEI, Canada. Neil was born about 1795.

Rev. Donald McPhail was born in 1799 in Kilninian & Kilmore Parish, Isle of Mull, Argyll, Scotland. Donald's religious affiliation evolved over time. He was initially associated with the Church of Scotland, later the Free Church of Scotland, and ultimately the Baptist denomination. He was baptised into the Baptist faith in Lot 30 and began preaching there.
Donald McPhail emigrated in 1810 with his immediate and extended family to Prince Edward Island, where they settled in Lot 30. The settlers initially called their community Black Point, later known as Argyle Shore. The family's native language was Scottish Gaelic; in Gaelic, Donald's name was Dòmhnall MacPhail. Records confirm that he later spoke fluent English.
The surname McPhail was originally spelled with "Mc." Donald retained this spelling while most of the family in adopted the "Mac" spelling.
On 7 Mar 1827, at about age 27\endash 28, Donald married Mary Currie in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Donald owned and farmed land at Argyle Shore in Lot 30, Prince Edward Island. In 1833 he served as a fence viewer for Lot 30, a local official responsible for inspecting fences and resolving disputes regarding fencing and livestock. By 1841 he owned 150 acres of first-quality farm land in two parcels.
About 1844, at about age 44\endash 45, Donald moved with his family to the Buctouche area in Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. There he continued farming and also began preaching in the Baptist church. After a period as a licensed preacher he was ordained as a Baptist minister and served congregations in the Bouctouche area, including the church at McKees Mills. In his ministry Donald travelled by horseback to surrounding communities and preached in English and in Scottish Gaelic.
Donald purchased approximately 66 acres of land at Dixon Point near Buctouche on 1 Jan 1852, where he farmed while continuing his ministry.
Rev. Donald McPhail died on 19 Jan 1877 in Buctouche, Kent County, New Brunswick at about age 77\endash 78. His gravestone in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKee's Mills records his age as 77.
Donald and Mary had 12 children.

MARY CURRIE first makes an appearance in official records in the Old Parish Register of Colonsay, Argyllshire, Scotland. Her baptism is recorded 23 Feb 1806, daughter of James Currie and Annie McDuffie. She was baptised along with five other babies by Rev Donald McNicol in the Church of Scotland near the quay in Scalasaig, Colonsay. Rev McNicol periodically came from the Isle of Jura to perform religious ceremonies in Colonsay, storing the records at his home in Jura. The church where Mary was baptised was built in 1802 on the site of a medieval chapel and is still in use today. It is ecumenical, primarily serving Church of Scotland and Baptist worshippers. A present day note requests: "Please be careful to secure the [church] door, so that the sheep cannot enter and be trapped".
Only a few short months after her baptism, in midsummer 1806, infant Mary along with her parents and her extended family set sail on the ship Spencer for Prince Edward Island, British North America. In due course her father James Currie secured a land lease in the area of DeSable in Lot 29, Queens County, PEI. No records have survived but it is reasonable to surmise that Mary spent her early years growing up on the family farm in DeSable. The Currie family's native tongue was Scottish Gaelic and in that language Mary's name was Moire MacMhuirich. Mary's first language would have been Scottish Gaelic and it seems appropriate to believe, but not certain, she later became fluent in English.
On 7 Mar 1827 Mary married DONALD MCPHAIL in Prince Edward Island before Justice of the Peace Philip Maurice Calbeck, a magistrate based in Tryon, Lot 28, Prince County. Donald, son of Malcolm McPhail and Flora McLean, was born about 1799 in Killiemore, Kilninian and Kilmore Parish, Isle of Mull, Argyllshire, Scotland. Like Colonsay, Mull is an Inner Hebrides Isle. Mull is located about 24 km north of Colonsay and is approximately 20 times larger in area. Donald had emigrated in 1810 with some of his immediate family and extended family to Prince Edward Island where they settled in Lot 30. Similar to other Highland immigrants this group of settlers sought to maintain their traditions and customs by establishing a close-knit, independent community. They first called their settlement Black Point, but later it was known as Argyle Shore, after their Scottish homeland. Donald's family spoke Scottish Gaelic and in that language his name was Domhnall MacPhail. Records confirm that Donald later spoke fluent English as well. The surname McPhail was originally spelled with "Me". Donald retained this spelling while most of the family in PEI changed to the "Mac" spelling.
In acquiring land in Prince Edward Island the McPhails had financial means, foresight, and luck on their side. Instead of leasing they were able to purchase land, and clearly freehold was far better than leasehold. The 1806 Census shows just two families living in Lot 30, so the McPhail family members had first choice of best quality land on their early arrival in PEI in advance of the later flood of immigrants. Unfortunately COVID-19 concerns kept me from completing my search of primary land documents at PARO. Instead I have relied on secondary resources. John Collins in his book MacPhail: From the Isle of Mull to Prince Edward Island gives valuable information on the McPhails' early land purchases. Between 1810 and 1817 Donald's father Malcolm McPhail purchased 100 acres in Lot 30 and built his homestead. Unfortunately the deed for that land appears to have not survived. Donald had three elder brothers, Neil, Colin, and John, and in 1817 the three brothers purchased 300 acres immediately west of Malcolm's land in Lot 30 along the Northumberland Strait from absentee land proprietors James Montgomery and his brothers Archibald and Robert for five shillings (PARO, Liber 24, Folio 697). The 300 acres were actually three 100- acre lots each measuring 10 chains shore frontage and 100 chains deep. In his book John Collins says the original 1817 deed written on lambskin vellum survives today in the hands of McPhail descendants. Family historians believe Donald, the fourth and remaining brother, was not part of the 1817 land purchase because he was not yet of legal age. In 1821, likely soon after their father's death, the three brothers added Malcolm's 100-acre lot to their holdings. According to Argyle Shore Women's Institute book, The History of Argyle Shore, Prince Edward Island, Colin took over Malcolm's homestead while Donald purchased the middle 100-acre lot with John to his west and Neil to his east. Donald's lot purchase is especially significant as the first land purchase in Mary's direct line in North America. Her father James Currie and grandfather Donald McPhee had had no opportunity to purchase land, so instead leased. Later records show Donald at that time considered his specific address to be Black Point which is within Argyle Shore. Located just 4 km east along the Northumberland Strait shore from Mary's childhood home, Donald's 100-acre lot is the site of Donald and Mary's farmstead in Argyle Shore during their early years of marriage.
Land records at Charlottetown's PARO indicate Donald and Mary also bought another lot of land, 60/2 acres more or less, later determined to be 50 acres, from James Montgomery in 1838 (Liber 45, Folio 620). It is interesting (and very gratifying) to note that Mary was joint owner of this lot, quite remarkable at a time when land ownership almost always excluded females from the process. I believe this joint ownership speaks to the character of Donald and Mary and their relationship. This second piece of land was located further east along the shore of the Northumberland Strait. The 1880 map on the opposite page shows the location of the various lots just discussed.
Donald's primary occupation was farmer, but he was also a "fence viewer" in Lot 30, as revealed in the Prince Edward Island Royal Gazette of 12 March 1833. A fence viewer was a local official who administered the fence laws by inspecting new fences and ensuring existing fences were in good repair. He settled disputes over the size, condition, and position of fences as well as those arising from livestock trespassing after escape from enclosures.
Donald McPhail is found in the 1841 Census of Prince Edward Island under "Dougald McFail". Such misspellings, variations, or errors were not unusual in the early days of census-taking. The 1841 census was nominal with only the head of household's name listed. Donald McPhail's record is provided below as found in http://www.gov.pe.ca/parosearch/census/individual-census- search/recordId/71 /census Year/1841 <http://www.gov.pe.ca/parosearch/census/individual-census-search/recordId/71_/census_Year/1841>. His occupation is farmer. One of his sons (under 16 years of age) is missing from this census. Note that Donald owned 150 acres of "1st best quality" land, a sure sign of success. This acreage is the approximate total for both pieces of land in fee simple. It is interesting that Mary, Donald, and their children all adhered to the Baptist religion while records show Donald's brothers and neighbours were all connected to the Church of Scotland.
Records show that Donald McPhail moved to Dixon Point, near Bouctouche, in Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick in September 1844. Donald sold his 100-acre lot in Argyle Shore, date unknown as I was not able to complete my search of land documents at Charlottetown's PARO due to COVID-19 concerns. The probable purchaser was Donald's brother John McPhail. At any rate John Collins states in his book MacPhail: From the Isle of Mull to Prince Edward Island that John McPhail sold 80 acres of that lot in Argyle Shore to John McKay on 18 May 1872. Meacham's Atlas of 1880 also indicates John McKay's ownership with the label "Jno McKay - 80" on what was once Donald McPhail's lot.
Records in Liber 74, Folio 577 at Charlottetown's PARO show Donald and Mary sold their 60 16 acre lot in Argyle Shore (described as 50 acres in this conveyance) 21 Oct 1857 to Rev Donald McDonald, minister of the Church of Scotland, for £195 of lawful money of Prince Edward Island. This Rev Donald McDonald likely was the legendary first Church of Scotland minister in PEI, serving the DeSable area and beyond from the late 1820s for almost 40 years. Rev McDonald (1783-1867) was immensely influential, extremely popular, and highly revered by his followers, so much so that his adherents became known as "McDonaldites", and his religious impact is still felt today on the Island.
While it is clear that Donald McPhail moved to the Bouctouche area in 1844, it is not known when his wife and family relocated, as Donald and Mary's tenth child was born in Argyle Shore, PEI about 1845. Their eleventh and twelfth children were born in Kent County, New Brunswick, in 1847 and 1850 respectively. Mi'kmaq first lived in what is now Bouctouche and named the area Chebuktoosk, meaning "great little harbour". It became "Bouctouche" in Acadian French and in English. The original English spelling of the community's name is "Bouctouche". Today it is spelled "Bouctouche", a change that was made in 1985 when the village was granted town status, (www.new-brunswick.net) To be historically correct I have used the previous spelling in this family history.
Religion appears to have been the driving force in the McPhail family's move to New Brunswick. In his early life Donald followed the Church of Scotland religion but he later was baptised into the Baptist faith at Lot 30 in Prince Edward Island and in 1842 began preaching there. According to his obituary entered in the 1877 Minutes of the Thirtieth Session of the Eastern New Brunswick Baptist Association, Donald responded to a call to the McKees Mills Baptist Church in Kent County, New Brunswick in 1844. The church congregation nominated him as a candidate (called a Licentiate) to receive a license to preach. After a period of preaching the congregation nominated him to receive full ordination. At the time of Donald's ordination, pastors in New Brunswick were known by the title "Elder", so in early church records he appears as Elder McPhail. His name first appears in the Eastern New Brunswick Baptist Association Minutes (1848-1852) for the Session held in Moncton, New Brunswick in July 1848, the earliest session records on file at Acadia University Vaughan Library Archives, where Donald is listed as one of five elders on a committee to discuss "the Bible Question". Session records vary for the date of Donald's ordination saying it was in August of either 1845, 1846, 1848, or 1852, but his obituary says it took place in 1845. Oral family history from two sources held that Donald attended Acadia University, but no records were found to support this claim even after an extensive search. Acadia University archivist Catherine Fancy states that "unlike other denominations, there was no formal educational requirement for being ordained, although many chose to go this route through studies at Horton and Acadia, and often going to the United States for post-graduate degrees. Acadia University was founded in part because the [Baptist] denominational leaders felt the lack of an educated clergy was holding them back from being taken seriously as a denomination in the Maritimes". Due to Donald's mature age and his responsibility to his large family it seems logical to conclude he trained on the job to become a pastor.
The Baptist Church is second only to Presbyterianism as the most Scottish in origin of all Canadian Churches. The McKees Mills Baptist Church where Donald ministered was originally called the Bouctouche Baptist Church. This Church was formed in 1844 so Donald McPhail was one of its earliest pastors, if not actually its first pastor. The congregation was small in number, records showing its members never numbered above 30. These devout Baptists built their church opposite Hillside Cemetery on what is now called Sheridan Road, half way down the north side of the Bouctouche River. The original church is no longer standing and has been replaced by McKees Mills United Baptist Church situated further south on the Sheridan Road. As well as ministering to the Bouctouche Baptist Church congregation, Donald also traveled by horseback to neighbouring communities preaching in English and occasionally in Scottish Gaelic. Rev Donald McPhail's Bible would have been one of his most valued possessions. On the next page see a copy of a leaf from his Bible with accompanying comments.
In addition to being a clergyman Donald continued to be a farmer. ElectricCanadian.com states: "The great success of the Baptists in the early history of the Province [of New Brunswick], must, in part, be attributed to the extreme zeal and the fact that many of their ministers and evangelists did not depend on their congregation for support, but lived on their farms and obtained their living from other employments".
On 1 January 1852 Donald McPhail purchased approximately 66 acres of land from Enoch and Emma Steeves for one hundred pounds lawful money of the Province of New Brunswick. According to this purchase document, Donald already occupied the land he was buying. Situated in Dixon Point, a point of land northeast of Saint-Francois-de-Kent, the property was located on the south side of the Harbour of Bouctouche, Parish of Wellington, County of Kent, Province of New Brunswick. Donald bought two-thirds of Lot 13, the 100-acre lot previously granted to Eloi White (also known as Eli LeBlanch), and Donald's portion was that part of Lot 13 adjoining land deeded by Peter Smith to Edward Mapston and wife. See the map on page 51 showing Donald's land outlined in red. Sorry, I neglected to record the source of this map other than that it came from New Brunswick Provincial Archives. COVID-19 concerns prevented me from revisiting.
Appendix D on page 112 of this family history contains part of the original land purchase document (Deed Book J, pages 654-655, Item No. 3120 at Kent County Registry, Richibucto, New Brunswick). The original document is handwritten and difficult to decipher, so only a sample portion is provided and a full transcribed copy follows. On the same day that Donald purchased the 66 acres, he mortgaged the property for sixty-one pounds nine shillings and sixpence with Henry Livingstone (Deed Book J, pages 653-654, Item No. 3119 at Kent County Registry). The mortgage was paid in full and the release registered on 22 December 1863.
Continuing to track Donald and Mary's lives in New Brunswick, I found the 1851 Census of Canada was no help as the returns for Kent County, New Brunswick have not survived. The 1861 Census of Canada contains minimal information. It simply lists the McPhail family: Rev Donald McPhail (husband), Mary McPhail (wife), then seven of their children. The census says the entire household is Scotch with Donald and Mary both born in Scotland and the seven children all born in Prince Edward Island, though in fact the two youngest children were born in New Brunswick. Donald's occupation is Baptist minister and all family members are Baptists.
Both Hutchinson Directory 1867-1868 and Lovell's Canadian Directory for 1871 list Rev Donald McPhail of Bouctouche (occupation, Baptist).
The 1871 Census of Canada lists Donald and Mary and four of their adult children (Malcolm, Mary, Sarah, and John Donald) living at their family farm in Wellington Parish. Donald's occupation is recorded as farmer, not minister. Malcolm's occupation is also farmer, daughter Mary's occupation is school mistress, while no occupation is listed for mother Mary, for Sarah, or for John Donald. In addition to this basic information the 1871 census contains schedules providing data such as agricultural details. Their 65 acre farm has one house and one barn. The return regarding cultivated land, field products, and plants and fruits lists: 25 acres of pasture; 3 acres of salt marsh; 4 acres in hay yielding 8 tons; 4 acres in wheat yielding 30 bushels; 3 acres in potatoes producing 400 bushels;
1 acre garden and orchard yielding 8 bushels of apples, 7 bushels of corn, and 5 pounds of hops in the past year; 25 acres producing 3 5 bushels of barley, 200 bushels of oats, 3 0 bushels of corn and 15 cords of firewood in the past year. The return regarding livestock, animal products, home-made fabrics, and furs records: 1 horse; 2 horned cattle; 4 swine; 3 milch cows yielding 200 pounds of butter in the past year; 6 sheep producing 35 pounds of wool from which 70 yards of home-made cloth were made in the past year. With all that cloth I believe it's safe to deduce Mary was a weaver.
Donald McPhail died 19 Jan 1877 in Bouctouche. His death notice appears in the Summerside Journal of 15 Feb 1877 and the Alberton Pioneer of 21 Feb 1877: "Died - At Bouctouche, on Friday 20th ult, aged [78] the Rev Mr. McPhail, a native of PEI and for many years an active ... minister of the Baptist denomination". Donald's obituary found in the 1877 Minutes of the Thirtieth Session of the Eastern New Brunswick Baptist Association is very informative and can be read in full in Appendix E on page 113. Donald is buried in Hillside Cemetery, McKees Mills, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. In his will Donald left his farm, his stock, and all his goods and chattels to his second youngest son John McPhail. To his wife Mary he bequeathed the sum of thirty-six dollars per year during her life if she should decide to not live with their son John McPhail. To his unmarried daughter Mary McPhail he left one hundred and fifty dollars to be paid to her by his son John McPhail in three yearly installments of fifty dollars each. Donald's probated will and a transcription can be found in Appendix F on page 114.
Mary's final official record appears in the 1881 Census of Canada. She is living in the household of her son John Donald McPhail, farmer. The details of her death are not known, but she almost certainly died in the following decade as she does not appear in the 1891 Census of Canada. Though I searched long and hard I found no death record or gravestone to mark her passing.
Time now to pause and reflect. It's glaring that few specific details could be found regarding Mary, the centre of this family history. While it's generally well known that society was male-dominated in this era, the lack of records directly concerning Mary emphasizes the point on an individual basis. Almost all knowledge of Mary comes to us only through her husband Donald. Custom and convention expected women to run their households and live within the confines of home and community. On top of this absence of public records, to my great regret my search uncovered no private records or personal stories, items, or mementos relating to Mary. We are left to wonder about her appearance, personality, and abilities. One long-sought detail did finally come to light in an official document. Mary could not write. She signed with an "X" on the 1858 sale agreement for the 60 1/2 acres of land (actually 50 acres) in Lot 30, PEI. For a woman of her era it would not be uncommon to lack the ability to write. In all likelihood she also could not read. Being female and the eldest child in a pioneer family, Mary would have had limited opportunities for formal education. This by no means has any reflection on her level of intelligence or her cultural awareness.
Donald and Mary had at least 12 children. I believe one son born before 1850 is missing from the records. I recall my great-uncle Gordon McPhail, a grandson of Donald and Mary, (more precisely, the youngest son of their youngest son Alexander Bede McPhail), saying several times that he was the seventh son of a seventh son. According to folklore the seventh son of a seventh son is blessed with luck. In the following list Alexander Bede McPhail is only the sixth son of Donald and Mary while, as you will see later, Gordon is indeed the seventh son of Alexander.

43. Ann McPhail [88] (Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born in 1807 in Tobermory, Mull, Argyll, Scotland, died in Oct 1853 in Lot 36, Tracadie, PEI, Canada, aged 46, and was buried in St. Bonaventure RC Cemetery., Tracadie, PEI, Canada.

Their son PATRICK was buried beside them [dates illegible] and their daughter CATHERINE erected the memorial stone.
Ann McPhail was born in 1807 in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Argyll, Scotland.
Ann married Patrick Brogan in Charlottetown, PEI.
Patrick died on 25 Mar 1848 in Tracadie, Lot 36, PEI when Ann was about age 41.
Ann McPhail died in Oct 1853 in Tracadie, Lot 36, PEI at age about 46.
Ann and Patrick had three sons and two daughters.
Ann represents the earliest known McPhail with a Roman Catholic affiliation. All other members of this extended family were initially adherents of the Church of Scotland, with some later Baptist branches. If Ann was indeed a member of this McPhail family, her marriage to a Roman Catholic and her burial in a Catholic cemetery suggest a religious conversion that would likely have resulted in a complete social and familial separation from her Protestant kin.

Ann McPHAIL (Malcolm3, John2, Alexander ?1). Born in 1807/1808 in Tobermory, Isle Of Mull, Argyll, Scot. Ann died in Tracadie, Lot 36, PEI, in Oct 1853; she was 46. Buried in St. Bonaventure RC Cem., Tracadie. User ID: MP1147.
* ANN McPHAIL is thought to be a daughter of MALCOLM McPHAIL and Flora McLean and to have come to the Argyle Shore of Prince Edward Island with her parents in 1810. Her presence in this family is based on her not fitting into either of the Dog River (Clyde River) McPhail families at a time when all McPhails on the Island seem to have been in one of these three families. Flora McLean McPhail, her putative mother, would have been about 38 years old in 1807, still of child-bearing age.
* This entry is the earliest McPhail with a Roman Catholic association, all others being Church of Scotland initially with a few Baptist families later on. If ANN was of this McPHAIL family, her marriage to Patrick Brogan and conversion to Catholicism as shown by her burial in a Roman Catholic cemetery, would have effected a dramatic separation from her family. That generation and subsequent ones would have dropped all contact between her and her family.

Angus McPhail was born on 27 Mar 1822 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, and was baptized on 27 Jul 1822 at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Charlottetown. His religion was Free Church of Scotland.
Angus McPhail was a farmer. His date of birth is inconsistently recorded, with the 1901 Census giving 23 January 1822, while other records support 27 March 1822.
He was the bondsman and a witness for several family marriages, including the marriage of his first cousins Malcolm McPhail and Flora McPhail on 10 June 1858, the marriage of his sister Isabella McPhail to Donald McQuarrie on 28 September 1859, and the marriage of his sister Flora McPhail to Allan McIntyre on 19 March 1861.
Angus lived at the Argyle Shore homestead for most of his life.
Angus acquired significant land holdings over time. On 7 February 1856 he purchased a 49-acre parcel of land between the rear of his father's property and the Tryon Road from R. B. Stewart. Following his father's death in February 1877, Angus inherited the homestead farm. He later added a further 22 acres immediately to the east, and also owned a 30-acre parcel south of the Tryon Road, historically known as the "McCalder farm." This latter parcel appears on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 30 in his name and is described in mid-1860s tenancy records. McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870-1871 lists Angus as a farmer at Argyle Shore.
On 11 May 1861, when he was 39, Angus married Christine (Christy) McPhail in Charlottetown, Queens County, PEI. Angus and Christy are cousins. Angus's father (Neil) and Christy's fater (Colin) were brothers. He and Christy lived with his widowed father Neil McPhail at the Argyle Shore. In the 1891 Census,
On 25 January 1885, Angus and his cousins along the Argyle Shore Road rescued twenty-three men involved in the "Ice Boat Disaster," taking them into their homes, warming and caring for them for several days until they could be transferred to Charlottetown. Contemporary newspaper accounts credit the MacPhail families with saving many lives.
Christine McPhail died on 12 Jan 1887, when Angus McPhail was 64.
In 1901 Angus was still residing on Lot 30 with some of his children, his widowed sister Flora McIntyre, and his married daughter Isabella Murchison, who had recently given birth to her first child.
Angus McPhail died on 16 Apr 1908 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, at age 86, and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery.
In his will, which he made on 18 June 1906 and was proved on 7 May 1908, Angus left the homestead farm and associated lands to his son John Grainger McPhail, with provisions for other sons, daughters, and grandchildren, including monetary legacies and trust arrangements for land and livestock.
Angus and Christine had four sons and three daughters.

- The 1901 Census gives his date of birth as 23 January 1822.
4 sons & 3 daughters
- ANGUS was the bondsman and one of the witnesses for the marriage of his first cousins MALCOLM McPHAIL (MP11431) and FLORA McPHAIL (MP11445) on 10 June 1858. He was also a witness at the marriage of his sister ISABELLA (MP11418) to Donald McQuarrie on 28 September 1859, and for the marriage of his sister FLORA (MP11411) to Allan McIntyre on 19 March 1861.
ANGUS married his first cousin CHRISTINE (CHRISTY) McPHAIL (MP11437) 11 May 1861 at St. James Pres-byterian Church at Charlottetown, PEI. Rev. Thos Duncan was the minister, ANGUS McPHAIL was his own bondsman and her brother PAUL McPHAIL (MP11434) and Flora McDougall of Charlottetown were the witnesses. CHRISTY was the daughter of COLIN McPHAIL (MP1143) and his first wife Christine Campbell, and was born __ August? 1832 at Argyle Shore. At the time of the 1861 Census, ANGUS and CHRISTY are thought to be the married couple age 21 - 45 years living with the widowed NEIL McPHAIL, Sr. (MP1141). There is a young woman, age 5 - 16 years, in the same household, whose identity is not known. ANGUS and CHRISTY continued to live at the homestead on the Argyle Shore and are found with their family in the 1881 Census as Entry #169, and have a John McKay living with them. He is thought to be the person who owned the piece of land immediately to the west that was occupied by NEIL McPHAIL (MP11438) and his wife Mary Ellen McKay at that time. The widowed ANGUS is found in the 1891 Census as Entry #117, Lot 30 H-1, (W1/9) with some of his children, his widowed sister FLORA McINTYRE (MP11411), and his married daughter ISABELLA MURCHISON (MP114151) who has just given birth to her first-born, LAURA (MP1141511). In the 1901 this family is shown as Lot 30 K2, family #94 and has ANGUS, COLIN (MP114153), MARIA (MP114157) plus JOHN G. (MP114154) and his wife and first three children.
ANGUS acquired a 49 acre parcel of land between the back of his father's property and the Tryon Road 7 February 1856 from Mr. R.B. Stewart [See Land Conveyances in Appendix 1], and with his father's death in February 1877, the homestead farm. To this he added another 22 acres immediately to the east filling between the road and the extension of MALCOLM C. McPHAIL's (MP11431) northward property extension of 27 acres. He also owned a 30 acre piece of land south of the Tryon Rd. and bounded on the west by the division line between Lots 29 and 30. In the 1861 Census, Malcolm McAlder was the way its owner's name was written. This plot was mentioned in the archived paper "Names of Tenants and Occupiers on Road From DeSable to Bonshaw, Late Owned by R.B. Stewart." which was written about 1865 after Stewart had died. The land is described as "30 ac. formerly held by Donald McCalder, rated Class B for which ANGUS McPHAIL pays $1.45 per ac." [as yearly rent]. It shows on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 30 in his name and was known as the "McCalder farm". The McAlpines Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71 lists Angus as a farmer on the Argyle Shore.
On 25 January 1885 ANGUS and his cousins along the Argyle Shore Road rescued the 23 men from the "Ice Boat Disaster" and took them into their homes, thawed them, treated their injuries and fed them for several days until they could be transferred to Charlottetown. Without the timely rescue by the MacPhails, many of these men would have perished. Appendix IB has the details from the newspapers of the day.
Will: In his will dated 18 June 1906 and proved 7 May 1908, ANGUS declared that
- son JOHN GRAINGER (sic) (MP114154) gets the farm and its effects, plus 71 acres that is to go to one of his (JOHN's) sons when of age. [The 71 acres was composed of the 49 acres bought from Stewart above plus 22 acres immediately to the east in the bend of the Tryon Road.

On 26 Jul 1853, at age 22, Peter married Margaret Ann Lane in Tryon, Lot 29, Prince Edward Island. At the time of his marriage, he was described as being of DeSable.
By 1861, at age 30-31, Peter was living in Lot 28 near Crapaud, Prince Edward Island, and working as a joiner, or carpenter. He and his household were identified with the Methodist Church. Two additional adult men were residing in the home at that time.
The 1863 Lake Map shows P. McPhail on the east side of the Green Road, just north of its junction with Tryon Road west of DeSable.

- He is of DeSable at time of marriage to Margaret Lane.
- 3 sons & 3 daughters
- At the time of the 1861 Census, PETER McFAIL is listed in Lot 28 on page 3, apparently near to Crapaud, and is a joiner (carpenter). With them are his wife and the first three children. The family are of the Methodist persuasion. Also in the household are two men, one born 1816/40 and the other 1840/45 who could be brothers of PETER or Margaret or co-workers of PETER who are living with him. The 1863 Lake Map shows P. McPHAIL on the east side of the Green Road just north of its junction with the Tryon Road west of DeSable. This may be the Robert Ince property on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 29.
The family left the Island after the birth of the fourth child in 1864 and seem to have gone to Cambridge, Mass. based on a comment in the obituary of the first child, H.A.C. McPHAIL (MP114191). By 1870, they have pulled up stakes and headed west and are settled at Lake City, Minn. where the next two surviving children are born. About 1875, a final move was made to Santa Barbara, Calif. Little of the family's life in California is known and much of what follows has been extracted from the Lane Genealogy mentioned above. With this move away from the Island, the family retained the McPHAIL spelling of the family name.
A PETER McPHAIL appears in the DeSable area in the 1901 Census and is described as 60 years old and born 17 September 1830 in PEI, of Scotch origin, Methodist religion and is a carpenter. He is a single man boarding at J. Bradley's home. This is thought to be the same PETER McPHAIL (MP11419). How he came to be present for that census is not known. Was he visiting old haunts? Why didn't he stay with relatives?

Malcolm inherited the original homestead farm that had been held by his father Colin McPhail and his grandfather Malcolm McFail. In the 1901 census, Malcolm was no longer present, and the farm was held by his eldest son John J. McPhail.
Malcolm was a witness at four family weddings:
* 21 Oct 1852, at the first marriage of his cousin Isabella McPhail to John Holm.
* 8 Nov 1860, at the marriage of his sister Flora McPhail to William McDonald.
* 19 Mar 1861, at the marriage of his cousin Flora McPhail to Allan McIntyre.
* 16 Apr 1863, at the marriage of his sister Catherine McPhail to Colin McPhail of Dog River.

Big Malcolm Campbell McPHAIL (Colin4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander ?1). Born on Jan to Apr 1825 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI. Malcolm Campbell died in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI, in 1891/1901. Buried in Argyle Shore Cem. Occupation: Farmer. Religion: Free Church Of Scotland. User ID: MP11431.
- Connected to Colin & Christy McPhail based on his inheriting the homestead farm from his father.
- 3 sons & 6 daughters
- They were not identified in the 1861 Census and seemingly were not living with his father nor was MALCOLM noted on the 1863 Lake Map. The McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71 identifies him as a farmer on the Argyle Shore and does not list his father who was still alive when the Directory was being compiled.
- BIG MALCOLM is known to have been a witness at four family weddings:
- On 21 October 1852 at the first marriage of his first cousin ISABELLA McPHAIL (MP11418) to John Holm.
- On 8 November 1860 at the marriage of his sister FLORA McPHAIL (MP11435) to Wm. McDonald.
- On 19 March 1861 at the marriage of his first cousin FLORA McPHAIL (MP11411) to Allan McIntyre.
- On 16 April 1863 at the marriage of his sister CATHERINE McPHAIL (MP11432) to COLIN McPHAIL (MP115) of Dog River.
In the 1881 Census, the family with all nine children are listed as Lot 30, entry #168. Based on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 30, this indicates that BIG MALCOLM acquired the original homestead property that his father COLIN (MP1143) and grandfather MALCOLM McFAIL (M12) had farmed. In the 1891 Census, they are entry #118 in Lot 30 H-1 [W1/7] and are farming. At that time they had HARRIE McPHAIL (MP1143a3), the son of BIG MALCOLM's deceased brother NEIL McPHAIL (MP1143a) and his wife Mary Ellen McKay who had also died. HARRIE is 8 years old and is identified as a son perhaps indicating that to all intents and purposes he had been adopted into the family. In the 1901 Census, MALCOLM is missing, implying his death since 1891, and the farm is held by his oldest son JOHN J. McPHAIL (MP114312). HARRY (MP1143a3), now 18 years old, is identified as JOHN's brother. Like many other family members this family changed the spelling of their family name to MacPHAIL early in the 1900s.

Thomas Duncan conducted the service. The witnesses were Wm. McDonald of Lot 30 who would later marry BIG MALCOLM's sister FLORA (MP11435), and ANGUS McPHAIL (MP11415), a first cousin of both the bride and groom. ANGUS was also the bondsman.

+ 162 M i. Malcolm Henry "Harrie" McPhail [1602] was born on 12 Oct 1882 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada.
80. Colin Alexander "Sandy" MacPhail [1490] (Colin4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 1 May 1827 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, died on 25 Dec 1912 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, aged 85, and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery, PEI, Canada. He was usually called Sandy.
Colin Alexander (Sandy) MacPhail was born on 1 May 1827 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI. His date of birth is recorded as 1826 on his gravestone, but this is considered incorrect due to conflict with known family chronology. He was generally known as "Sandy" within the family and as "Alexander" on legal documents.
He was a farmer. While his elder brother, Malcolm Campbell McPhail, inherited their father's homestead, Sandy received land further east along the Argyle Shore. This property had originally belonged to the McNevin family, later passing to the Livingstons, and was acquired by Sandy's father when the Livingstons relocated to the United States.
On 19 Mar 1857, when he was 29, Colin Alexander married Christina (Christy) Campbell in Charlottetown, Queens County, PEI.
By 1880, Sandy held three distinct parcels of land: a 50-acre homestead east of the Argyle Shore Post Office, crossed by both the Argyle Road and Bonshaw Road; a 49-acre tract formerly known as the McNevin Farm; and a further 56-acre parcel to the west. These lands formed the basis of his estate planning.
Sandy was involved in the January 1885 Ice Boat Disaster, during which he and other members of the Argyle Shore community provided shelter and assistance to stranded ice-boat men during a severe blizzard.
He executed a will on 29 Oct 1908, with codicils dated 16 Jul 1910 and 4 Dec 1912, detailing extensive land and monetary bequests to his children. The will redistributed land among his sons James, Alexander John Goodwill, and Archibald Alexander, and provided financial provisions to several children and an annuity to his wife. Probate was completed in early 1913.
Colin Alexander MacPhail died on 25 Dec 1912 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, at age 85.
Colin Alexander and Christina had eight sons and four daughters.

- Entered in this family based on family memories.
- Known as Alexander on Marriage License.,
- 8 sons & 4 daughters.
DOB given as 1826 on stone. but is thought to be out one year and would conflict with known dates of sister Catherine.
This is John Collins' great grandfather.
- With his older brother Big MALCOLM McPHAIL (MP11431) receiving their father's homestead farm, SANDY received property further east on the Argyle Shore from his father. As of 1995, it was remembered by residents on the Argyle Shore that this piece of land was originally owned by the McNevins who later sold it to the Livingstons. SANDY's father COLIN (MP1143) bought it when the Livingstons moved to the States and the deed was drawn up in Cambridge, Mass. The Lake Map of 1863 shows A. McPhail on the water side of the Argyle Road in Lot 30 immediately east of the school. McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71 lists him as a farmer on the Argyle Shore, Lot 30. In his will, SANDY mentions owning three parcels of land. His homestead farm of 50 acres as shown on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 30, was located east of Argyle Shore P.O. The Argyle Road and the Bonshaw Road both cross it. Three parcels to the west, the 49 acres shown in the 1880 map as belonging to Alex McNevin had been acquired. The next property west of 56 acres also belonged to SANDY. These three properties were willed to sons JAMES (MP114336), GOODWILL (MP11433c) and ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER (MP114338) respectively.
- In the January 1885 "Ice Boat Disaster", SANDY McPHAIL was involved as were other members of the family. It has been remembered that the farm dog had been barking furiously at something outside in the blizzard when Irving, the owner and leader of the ice-boat group came to the house looking for shelter. He was seemingly alone and knew nothing of the whereabouts of the other 22 men. The dog continued barking and when a check of the yard was made, the 17 year old boy was found beside the barn, banging on the boards with his head and the toe of his boot. When he was brought to the house, he was asked "Did you not know that was the barn, lad?" To which the lad replied "No sir. Me eyes was froze shut!" . Although no memory remains, it is supposed that men from SANDY's house joined the others along the Argyle Shore in searching for the men of the Ice Boats. That all the men were found and survived was a credit to the men and women of the Argyle Shore who rescued them along the shoreline and nursed them in their homes.

- He is associated with this branch of the family by the following logic. The wife of JOHN McPHAIL (MP11436) [see entry] left JOHN's watch and chain to the oldest surviving grandson of ALEXANDER (MP11433), which is taken as the passing of a family keepsake to a close relative. In this case a grand-nephew. JOHN was a carriage maker in Charlottetown, PEI as was PAUL, and they were listed next to each other in the 1861 Census. In 1858 they jointly bought a property in Charlottetown and in 1861 transferred PAUL's share of it to JOHN. This is taken as an indication of them being brothers to each other and to ALEXANDER.
- 6 sons, 3 daughters and 1 unknown child.
- He was of Charlottetown as of marriage.

John C. McPhail was a carriage maker and later carriage builder in Charlottetown.
John moved from Argyle Shore to Charlottetown, where he entered the carriage-building trade with his older brother Paul McPhail. In the 1861 Census, John and his wife are listed in Ward 4 of Charlottetown with two young men aged sixteen to twenty-five living in their household, thought to have been apprentices. Later in 1861, John and Paul separated their business interests.
City and provincial directories record his career progression: in 1863 he is listed as part of McPhail & Hunter, Carriage and Sleigh Builders, Kent Street; in 1864 as a carriage maker on Kent Street near Prince Street; and in directories from the 1870s as a carriage builder. The 1881 Census again shows two young men living with the couple, likely apprentices. By 1891 he appears to be retired, though the 1901 Census still lists him as a carriage builder.
In his will dated 17 February 1902 and proved 8 September 1908, John left his entire estate to his wife Sophia, specifically including four tenements and land on the east side of Prince Street, Charlottetown. Around 1900 he held forty shares in the Merchant's Bank of Prince Edward Island, valued at $1,297.77.
John served as bondsman for the marriage of his brother Colin Alexander ("Sandy") McPhail to Christina Campbell, and in the will of his wife, his watch and chain were bequeathed to Donald McPhail of Argyle Shore, the only surviving grandson of Sandy McPhail.

Buried in People's Cemetery, Charlottetown, PEI. Occupation: Carriage Maker, Charlottetown, PEI. Religion: Church Of Scotland >> Free Church Of Scotland. User ID: MP11436.
His association with this part of the family is based upon the will of his wife where his watch and chain were given to DONALD McPHAIL (MP1143371) of Argyle Shore, son of JAMES (MP114337). DONALD was the only living grandson of JOHN's brother SANDY (MP11433) and JOHN had been the bondsman for SANDY's marriage to Christie Campbell in 1858.
JOHN moved to Charlottetown and became a carriage builder with his older brother PAUL (MP11434) [see details under PAUL above.]
- He is of Charlottetown, PEI in Marriage License to Sophia McNeill.,
In the 1861 Census JOHN and his wife are shown residing in Ward 4 of that town with two young men ages 16-25 living with them. These are thought to be apprentices to the McPHAIL brothers carriage business. Later that year JOHN and PAUL went their separate ways as carriage builders.
- In the 1863 Charlottetown Directory, he is listed as McPhail & Hunter, Carriage and Sleigh Builders, Kent Street.
-In the 1864 Hutchison's Directory of PEI, JOHN is identified as a carriage maker on Kent St. near Prince St. in Charlottetown. In the Lovell's Province of Prince Edward Island Directory for 1871, JOHN is identified as a carriage builder. McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71 says he is the carriage builder of McPhail and Hunter on Kent St., Charlottetown, with his house on Kent St. In the 1881 Census he is a carriage builder with two young men, likely apprentices, living with them. Frederick's Island Directory of 1889/90 lists JOHN but not his brother PAUL. By the time of the 1891 Census, he seems to be retired and no occupation is mentioned. In the 1901 Census there is just he and his wife and his occupation is still carriage builder.
In his will dated 17 February 1902 and proved 8 September 1908, JOHN, carriage builder of Charlottetown, left everything to his wife Sophia, specifically mentioning four tenements and land on the east side of Prince St.

She is thought to be the extra married woman in Colin's home in the 1861 Census even though her birth is given as 1840/45 rather than the next column of 1816/40. At the time of the census in late August, she was days away from giving birth to her first child.
On 11 May 1861 when Christine (CHRISTY) was 28, she married Angus McPHAIL (62) , son of Neil McPHAIL (37) (12 Oct 1787-22 Feb 1877) & Isabelle (Isobel?)

Angus McPhail was born on 27 Mar 1822 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, and was baptized on 27 Jul 1822 at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Charlottetown. His religion was Free Church of Scotland.
Angus McPhail was a farmer. His date of birth is inconsistently recorded, with the 1901 Census giving 23 January 1822, while other records support 27 March 1822.
He was the bondsman and a witness for several family marriages, including the marriage of his first cousins Malcolm McPhail and Flora McPhail on 10 June 1858, the marriage of his sister Isabella McPhail to Donald McQuarrie on 28 September 1859, and the marriage of his sister Flora McPhail to Allan McIntyre on 19 March 1861.
Angus lived at the Argyle Shore homestead for most of his life.
Angus acquired significant land holdings over time. On 7 February 1856 he purchased a 49-acre parcel of land between the rear of his father's property and the Tryon Road from R. B. Stewart. Following his father's death in February 1877, Angus inherited the homestead farm. He later added a further 22 acres immediately to the east, and also owned a 30-acre parcel south of the Tryon Road, historically known as the "McCalder farm." This latter parcel appears on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 30 in his name and is described in mid-1860s tenancy records. McAlpine's Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870-1871 lists Angus as a farmer at Argyle Shore.
On 11 May 1861, when he was 39, Angus married Christine (Christy) McPhail in Charlottetown, Queens County, PEI. Angus and Christy are cousins. Angus's father (Neil) and Christy's fater (Colin) were brothers. He and Christy lived with his widowed father Neil McPhail at the Argyle Shore. In the 1891 Census,
On 25 January 1885, Angus and his cousins along the Argyle Shore Road rescued twenty-three men involved in the "Ice Boat Disaster," taking them into their homes, warming and caring for them for several days until they could be transferred to Charlottetown. Contemporary newspaper accounts credit the MacPhail families with saving many lives.
Christine McPhail died on 12 Jan 1887, when Angus McPhail was 64.
In 1901 Angus was still residing on Lot 30 with some of his children, his widowed sister Flora McIntyre, and his married daughter Isabella Murchison, who had recently given birth to her first child.
Angus McPhail died on 16 Apr 1908 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, at age 86, and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery.

Angus and Christine had four sons and three daughters.

- The 1901 Census gives his date of birth as 23 January 1822.
4 sons & 3 daughters
- ANGUS was the bondsman and one of the witnesses for the marriage of his first cousins MALCOLM McPHAIL (MP11431) and FLORA McPHAIL (MP11445) on 10 June 1858. He was also a witness at the marriage of his sister ISABELLA (MP11418) to Donald McQuarrie on 28 September 1859, and for the marriage of his sister FLORA (MP11411) to Allan McIntyre on 19 March 1861.
ANGUS married his first cousin CHRISTINE (CHRISTY) McPHAIL (MP11437) 11 May 1861 at St. James Pres-byterian Church at Charlottetown, PEI. Rev. Thos Duncan was the minister, ANGUS McPHAIL was his own bondsman and her brother PAUL McPHAIL (MP11434) and Flora McDougall of Charlottetown were the witnesses. CHRISTY was the daughter of COLIN McPHAIL (MP1143) and his first wife Christine Campbell, and was born __ August? 1832 at Argyle Shore. At the time of the 1861 Census, ANGUS and CHRISTY are thought to be the married couple age 21 - 45 years living with the widowed NEIL McPHAIL, Sr. (MP1141). There is a young woman, age 5 - 16 years, in the same household, whose identity is not known. ANGUS and CHRISTY continued to live at the homestead on the Argyle Shore and are found with their family in the 1881 Census as Entry #169, and have a John McKay living with them. He is thought to be the person who owned the piece of land immediately to the west that was occupied by NEIL McPHAIL (MP11438) and his wife Mary Ellen McKay at that time. The widowed ANGUS is found in the 1891 Census as Entry #117, Lot 30 H-1, (W1/9) with some of his children, his widowed sister FLORA McINTYRE (MP11411), and his married daughter ISABELLA MURCHISON (MP114151) who has just given birth to her first-born, LAURA (MP1141511). In the 1901 this family is shown as Lot 30 K2, family #94 and has ANGUS, COLIN (MP114153), MARIA (MP114157) plus JOHN G. (MP114154) and his wife and first three children.
ANGUS acquired a 49 acre parcel of land between the back of his father's property and the Tryon Road 7 February 1856 from Mr. R.B. Stewart [See Land Conveyances in Appendix 1], and with his father's death in February 1877, the homestead farm. To this he added another 22 acres immediately to the east filling between the road and the extension of MALCOLM C. McPHAIL's (MP11431) northward property extension of 27 acres. He also owned a 30 acre piece of land south of the Tryon Rd. and bounded on the west by the division line between Lots 29 and 30. In the 1861 Census, Malcolm McAlder was the way its owner's name was written. This plot was mentioned in the archived paper "Names of Tenants and Occupiers on Road From DeSable to Bonshaw, Late Owned by R.B. Stewart." which was written about 1865 after Stewart had died. The land is described as "30 ac. formerly held by Donald McCalder, rated Class B for which ANGUS McPHAIL pays $1.45 per ac." [as yearly rent]. It shows on the 1880 Atlas map of Lot 30 in his name and was known as the "McCalder farm". The McAlpines Maritime Provinces Directory of 1870/71 lists Angus as a farmer on the Argyle Shore.
On 25 January 1885 ANGUS and his cousins along the Argyle Shore Road rescued the 23 men from the "Ice Boat Disaster" and took them into their homes, thawed them, treated their injuries and fed them for several days until they could be transferred to Charlottetown. Without the timely rescue by the MacPhails, many of these men would have perished. Appendix IB has the details from the newspapers of the day.
Will: In his will dated 18 June 1906 and proved 7 May 1908, ANGUS declared that
- son JOHN GRAINGER (sic) (MP114154) gets the farm and its effects, plus 71 acres that is to go to one of his (JOHN's) sons when of age. [The 71 acres was composed of the 49 acres bought from Stewart above plus 22 acres immediately to the east in the bend of the Tryon Road.

From Alex McPhail:
It is almost certain that Mary Ellen McKay's parents could not have been born in 1801, as that would put her mother at age 57/58 when Mary was born. If they were born in 1816, her mother would be 41/42, which is plausible for that era. I have decided not to include the parents in the record pending further investigation.

At the time of the Iceboat Disaster in late January 1885, many of the survivors were brought to the farmhouse of Mrs. JOHN McPHAIL, then held by MALCOLM. It can be assumed that MALCOLM himself with his 18 year old son JOHN (MP12451) took part in the search for the men while his mother, wife and older daughters tended and fed the frozen men who were brought in. They tended these unexpected "guests" for several days until they were strong enough to be moved to hospital in Charlottetown.
MALCOLM JOHN 's will, dated the 22nd of July 1907 and proved on the 24th of February 1909 by the oath of Neil S. McKay, designated COLIN McPHAIL (MP124a) [who is his brother], Donald McLean (John's son) of Argyle Shore and Donald C. McLean (Chas. son) of DeSable, Lot 29 as executors. [John was a first cousin of Euphemia and Chas. McLean a brother. They were living on Lot 29 G2, entries #7 & 8 in the 1891 Census which would have been about four farms west of MALCOLM JOHN] By the terms of the will,

From Sarah Campbell
Catherine McPhail - born c 1828 in Prince Edward Island, most likely at Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queens County, the first child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. At age 16, in 1844, Catherine moved with her family to the area of Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. Catherine married twice. On 17 July 1847 she married George Smith. Both were of minor age so the marriage ceremony required the consent of their guardians. Both bride and groom signed the marriage register with an "X'. Both were living in the parish of Wellington at the time of their marriage. Witnesses at the wedding were Catherine's father D McPhail and John Powell. Catherine's husband George was a farmer and a seaman. In the 1861 Census the Smith family is recorded immediately before the Donald McPhail family, so they were next-door neighbours. George died in July 1866 as the following Gleaner and Northumberland Schediasma news item reports: "On Friday last a boat was bottom up near Chemogue with the body of a man named SMITH, a pilot of Bouctouche (Kent Co) lashed to the thwart. SMITH left Bouctouche to look for a ship which was expected from PEI. The boat in which he went out was a small one, the wind blowing hard at the time. It is supposed that exhaustion induced him to lash himself to the thwart to prevent being thrown out. The boat shortly afterwards must have been turned over by a heavy sea. Mr. SMITH leaves a wife and large family".
On 22 April 1869 Catherine married Samuel Geddes. At the time of their marriage both Catherine and Samuel were living in the parish of Wellington, New Brunswick. Wedding officiant was Catherine's father "D McPhail, Baptist minister at Bouctouche". Like Catherine's first husband, Samuel was a farmer. The 1871 Census shows the combined families of Catherine and Samuel, eight Smith children from her previous marriage and eight Geddes children from Samuel's previous marriage, a total of 18 family members living under one roof. Catherine and family could not be found in the 1881 Census of Canada. Samuel died between 1871 and 1891 as Catherine is listed as a widow in the 1891 Census, living with sons Colin, Thomas, and Gilbert Smith in Nictaux Falls, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. Records show they moved to Nictaux Falls about 1877. The reason for the move to the Annapolis Valley is not known. I was not able to find an official record of Catherine's death. The eight children of Catherine and her first husband George Smith, probably all born in the Bouctouche area, Wellington Parish, Kent County, NB, are:

From Sarah Campbell
James C McPhail - family tradition claims James's middle name was Currie, named after his maternal grandfather. This seems likely but could not be verified as his full middle name is not listed in any records. James was born about 1830 in Prince Edward Island, probably in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, the second child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. He moved with his parents and siblings in 1844, at age 14, to the Bouctouche area, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. On 10 June 1852 James married Priscilla Nickerson Pine (c 1834-1906) in Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick. Priscilla was the daughter of Nathaniel Pine (c 1800-c 1875) and Martha Ward (1806-c 1881) of Richibucto, Weldford Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. Priscilla was a Mayflower descendant as her ancestors Stephen Hopkins and his daughter Constance Hopkins both sailed on that famous ship in 1620. The Canada Census of 1851 is missing for Kent County, New Brunswick, but James is listed in the 1861 Census of Canada for Prince Edward Island living in Crapaud, Lot 29, Queens County. Only the head of household's name appears in this 1861 census. Besides James there is a female aged 21 to 45 years who would be Priscilla as well as two servants or apprentices in the household. James is a shoemaker. Two members of the household are Baptists, presumably James and Priscilla, one is Free Kirk of Scotland, and the fourth member's religion is not identified. The next census for Prince Edward Island, the Canada Census of 1881, shows James and Priscilla and their son living in Alberton, Lot 4, Prince County. James is still employed as a shoemaker. In the Canada Census of 1891 only James and Priscilla are in the household, still in Lot 4, but now James is working as a carpenter. As part of the data collected, the census shows both James and Priscilla are able to read and write. James died 5 May 1894 in Alberton. The Chignecto Post of Sackville, New Brunswick reported in its issue of 17 May 1894 that James McPhail, formerly of Bouctouche (Kent Co), had died of Bright's disease. Following her husband's death Priscilla immigrated in 1894 to New Bedford, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA to live with her son and his family. Her death record states she died 8 Feb 1906 in New Bedford of natural causes. James and Priscilla had one child:
James married Prescilla Pine [62], daughter of Nathaniel Pine [193] and Martha Ward [3685], before 1861. Marriage status: married. Prescilla was born from 1833 to 1834 in Richibucto, Kent County, NB, Canada and died 1894 to 1901, aged 61.
Priscilla Nickerson Pine was born about 1834 in Richibucto, New Brunswick.
On 10 Jun 1852, Priscilla married James C. McPhail in Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick.
Priscilla worked as a housewife.
Following the death of her husband in 1894, Priscilla immigrated to New Bedford, Bristol County, Massachusetts to live with her son and his family.
Priscilla Nickerson Pine died on 8 Feb 1906 in New Bedford, Bristol County, Massachusetts, age about 71, of natural causes.
Priscilla and James had one son.
Priscilla was a Mayflower descendant. Her ancestors Stephen Hopkins and his daughter Constance Hopkins both sailed on the Mayflower in 1620.
The only child from this marriage was:

Death Notes: This is the second Malcolm born to Donald McPhail and Mary Currie, the name thought to be bestowed a second time after the first Malcolm died in his infancy, and owing to the fact that Malcolm was Donald McPhail's father.
Malcolm McPhail was born about 1832 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI.

Malcolm McPhail - born about 1832, died very young, the third child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. No primary source was located for this Malcolm McPhail. The only secondary reference was found in John Collins's Mc/MacPhails of Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI and his source of information was not provided. Malcolm was almost certainly named in honour of his paternal grandfather.

From Sarah Campbell
Mary McPhail - born 3 April 1832 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Prince Edward Island, the fourth child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. Mary is probably a twin to above brother Malcolm (born c 1832). She was likely named for her mother. In 1844, at age 12, Mary moved with her family to the area of Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. Mary never married. She appears in the Canada Census of 1871 living with her parents and three of her siblings in Wellington Parish, occupation school mistress. In the Census of 1881 she is listed with the family of Thomas and Elizabeth Anderson, living in Wellington Parish, New Brunswick, employed as a 'couturiere', a seamstress. McAlpine's New Brunswick Directory, 1889-1896 has "Miss M McPhail, teacher, Dixon's Point". The 1891, 1901, and 1911 census records show Mary living with her brother John Donald McPhail, his wife Florence Rebecca, and their children. Mary's occupation is teacher in 1891 and 1901. The 1911 Census of Canada is the last information found regarding Mary. I could not find her death record. No gravestone bears her name in Hillside Baptist Church Cemetery, McKees Mills, Kent County, NB.

From Sarah Campbell
Malcolm McPhail - born about 1835 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Prince Edward Island, the fifth
child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. His infant brother Malcolm had died about 1832, so his parents used the name Malcolm again, in all likelihood to honour his paternal grandfather. The re-using of the name of a deceased child for a subsequent child was not uncommon in the 1800s, especially if the name was given to revere a relative, an honour the parents felt would live on with the namesake. Malcolm was about 9 years old when his family moved to the Bouctouche area, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. Malcolm is found in the 1861 and 1871 Censuses of Canada living with his parents and some of his siblings in Wellington Parish, Kent County, NB. His occupation in 1861 is farmer, and he remained a farmer all his life.
On 6 Apr 1873 Malcolm married Ann McCalder in Wellington Parish where both were living. The officiating minister was Malcolm's father, "Donald McPhail, Baptist Minister at Bouctouche". Ann was born in 1838 in Argyle Shore, PEI, daughter of Donald McCalder (1804-1884). Donald McCalder was the son of Gilbert McCalder (c 1768-1841) and Catherine Darrach (c 1776-1844), and all three immigrated to British North America from Colonsay, Scotland on the ship Spencer in 1806. They were recorded in the ship's passenger list as Gilbert "McAldridge" (Male Passenger No. 42), Catherine Darroch (Female Passenger No. 38), and "John McAldridge" (aka Donald McCalder) (Male Passenger No. 46).
Malcolm purchased a farm next door to his brother John Donald and family in Wellington Parish. The 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911, and 1921 Canadian censuses show Malcolm and Ann McPhail and their family. The 1911 and 1921 Censuses of Canada indicate a more specific address for the McPhails: Dixon's Point, Wellington Parish. Ann died between 1921 and 1925, while Malcolm died 19 June 1925, age about 90. Malcolm and Ann had 3 children and one foster child, listed below. As you will see, the 1890s were a time of great sorrow for Malcolm and Ann.
Malcolm married Ann McCalder [1678], daughter of Donald McCalder [3691], on 6 Apr 1873 in Wellington, Kent County, NB, Canada. Ann was born on 1 May 1838 in PEI, Canada and died after 1901.

Hugh McPHAIL (Donald4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander ?1). Born abt Aug 1829 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI. Hugh died in Quincy, Mass, on 25 Oct 1895. Occupation: Shoemaker In Charlottetown In 1861, Halifax In 1871, Quincy, Mass In 1881 & 1895. Religion: Baptist, Methodist. User ID: MP11462.
[Note from Alex McPhail: United States Naturalization Record states that he moved to Massachusetts on 11 Oct 1879 and clearly confirms his date of birth as 13 May 1836]. Hugh McPhail link to this family is not a firm one and is based on the following details.
- He is thought to have been born about 1829 at Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI. His entry in the 1861 PEI Census gives his age as 21-45 [b.1825-1840] and place of birth as PEI. He was not with his parents in the 1841 census, the 2 males under 16 being thought to be James and the second Malcolm (the first Malcolm having died). Hugh being about 12 years old may well have been set out as a shoemaker's apprentice in Charlottetown, and the 1841 census of that town did not survive the years.
- His parents were married 7 March 1827; Catherine McPhail, who now appears to be the first child was born 13 Feb 1828; James C. McPhail was born 1830/31; leaving a "gap" of 2-3 years. I would guess Hugh's birth about 18 months after Catherine as that seemed to be the pattern of conception amongst my Argyle Shore Scots... say Aug 1829. James could then arrive about Mar. 1831 which is consistent with James' stated age of 30 in the August 1861 census.
- He is a bachelor of Charlottetown on the marriage license to Mariah King.,
- Hugh is a shoemaker in Charlottetown in 1861 census and married by then.
- At his wedding to Maria King of Charlottetown on 13 Dec 1860, a James McPhail was a witness and C.P. Weldon the bondsman.
- His first daughter is named Mary (Mary Millicent known as Minnie b. 21 May 1861 Charlottetown and baptized at 1st Methodist Church), which was consistent with the custom of the PEI Scots in naming the first daughter for the father's mother. (and first son for mother's father).
- His putative brother James was also a shoemaker.
I picked up Mary Millicent McPhail's marriage to Percy St. Clair Hamilton of Halifax, NS, in Halifax on 12 Jan 1881. At that time she is styled as the "eldest daughter of Hugh McPhail, Esq. of Quincy, Mass." Hugh appears in Hutchinson's 1871 Directory of Nova Scotia as a shoemaker living in Halifax, but I did not manage to find him in the 1871 census of that city. As yet I have not explored the Quincy Mass census records.
Another major convincer of his linkage to this family is that in my work, I have swept up ALL McPhail entries I could find in PEI records. The family of Sir Andrew MacPhail of Orwell came to the Island in 1844 and has been well documented. The seven children of the original William MacPhail of that family who brought his family to the Island are born 1830-1845, some in Scotland, some in Cape Breton and some in Nova Scotia. There is no Hugh amongst them. As of the 1861 census there were no other McPhail families on PEI other than those related to me.
Hugh & Maria and daughter E. May McPhail have not been found in the 1880 Census of Quincy, Mass nor in the 1881 Census of PEI. The two oldest daughters were found boarding with two separate families at Quincy. Why these two children were apart from their parents is unknown, unless perhaps Hugh & Maria and Edith were on a trip somewhere, perhaps Nova Scotia.
Death date estimated from death notice of 26 Oct 1895 in a Quincy newspaper. Said to have come to Quincy 14 years earlier [1881] but two daughters were known to have been there in the 1880 Census.
On 13 Dec 1860 Hugh married Maria KING, daughter of Anna RICE (abt 1818-), in 1st Methodist Ch., Ch'tn, PEI. Rev. Henry Daniel was the minister, C.F. Weldon was the bondsman and the witnesses were his brother James McPhail and her step-father William King. Licence was dated 10 Dec 1860. Maria was born on 14 Apr 1839 and baptized at age 7 in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlotte Town, on 2 Jul 1846. Maria died in Quincy, Mass., on 2 Feb 1920; she was 80. Occupation: Housewife. Religion: Church Of England >> Methodist.
- The birth father of Maria is not known.
- After Anne Rice married William King in 1852, Maria used the surname King.
- She is a spinster of Charlottetown in marriage license to Hugh McPhail.,
- The 'Quincy Patriot Ledger' of February 3, 1920, at p. 6, reports the death of Mrs. Maria McPhail (at age 81) of 145 Willow Street in Quincy. She is survived by three daughters: Mrs. Arthur W. Ryder of Wolloston, Mrs. Fred F. Green of the State Board of Charity and Mrs. Percy St. Clair Hamilton of Montreal

Hugh McPhail - born 13 May 1836 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Prince Edward Island, the sixth child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. At age 8 Hugh moved with his family to the area of Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. Hugh later moved back to Prince Edward Island as he was a resident of Charlottetown when he married Maria King in Charlottetown on 10 Dec 1860. He was one of the witnesses to the marriage of his eldest brother James McPhail. The 1861 Census of Canada only provides the names of the family heads but indicates Hugh's household in Charlottetown had a total of 5 individuals including Hugh and Maria. The other 3 individuals, all single, are not known but possibly may have been servants or apprentices. Hugh's occupation is shoemaker. Hugh's US Naturalization Record shows he moved to Massachusetts 11 Oct 1879 and, incidentally, clearly states his date of birth. He was not found in the 1880 US Census, but the Quincy, Massachusetts City Directory of 1880 lists Hugh, a boot maker, boarding in Quincy. Possibly Hugh emigrated first and his wife Maria followed later as Massachusetts, Index to Boston Passenger Lists, 1848-1891 indicates Maria arrived in the Port of Boston 14 June 1880 on the SS Carroll. The vast majority of records in the 1890 US Census were destroyed in a fire in 1921 in Washington, DC, so no information on Hugh is available from that source. Annual editions of Quincy, Massachusetts City Directory, however, repeatedly list Hugh McPhail, boot maker, at various addresses in Quincy. Hugh died 26 Oct 1895 in Quincy. His death record states the cause of death was "fatty heart and pleurisy with effusion". His death notice in the Boston Globe (26 Oct 1895 edition) reads as follows: "Hugh McPhail, a well-known citizen of Quincy dropped dead of heart failure at his residence on Hancock St this morning. He
was 60 years old and leaves a wife and three daughters". Maria died 3 Feb 1920 in Quincy. Hugh and Maria had five children:
-----
One source states that Hugh was born about Aug 1829 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI. Another source provides the exact date of 13 May 1836 from a United States Naturalization Record. The date 13 May 1836 was selected because it has higher precision and is supported by documentary evidence.
One source reports Hugh's death as 25 Oct 1895, while another gives 26 Oct 1895. The later source providing a detailed death record and newspaper notice was selected.
Maria's death date appears as 2 Feb 1920 in one source and 3 Feb 1920 in another. The later date of 3 Feb 1920 was selected because it appears in the later source.
One source indicates Hugh and Maria had three children, while another lists five children. The count of five children was adopted because it appears in the later source and corresponds to the detailed listing of children.
Hugh married Maria King [59] on 13 Dec 1860 in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada. Marriage status: married. Maria was born on 14 Apr 1839, was christened on 2 Jul 1846 in St Paul's Anglican Church, Charlottetown, PEI, Canada, and died on 2 Feb 1920 in Quincy, MA, USA, aged 80.

-----
There is a direct conflict between the sources regarding Flora's marriage. One source reports a marriage to Charles H. Millner in 1871 with no children, while the later source reports a marriage about 1866 to Andrew W Gay with seven children and provides census evidence for that household.
Following the project rule that the last-presented source is treated as the selected version when conflicts occur, the marriage to Andrew W Gay and the associated family details were adopted as the primary narrative. The earlier Millner marriage has been preserved in this section as a conflicting account.
The birth date also differs between sources: one gives 1840/1841, while the later source provides the precise date 3 Dec 1840. The more precise date has been adopted.

There are major discrepencies between John Collin's account of descendents of Margaret McPhail and Jonathan Stafford McWilliams and Sarah Campbell's account.
A comparison of two accounts follows:

In the above lists:

~
x
John Collins lists 11 descendents, Sarah Campbell lists 10.
There is a math problem with Sarah Campbell's dates. Olive Gordon was born on 2 Aug 1875 and Helen Gertrude was born four months later in 22 Dec 1875. One or both of these entries is incorrect.
Florence from John Collins is probably Clarence B. from Sarah Campbell, as both John Collins and Sarah Campell indicate that Clarence (male) was incorrectly recorded as Florence (female) in the Lot 33 Census of 1881.
Ella G. (1873- Aft 1891) from John Collins is probably the same person as Helen Gertrude (1875-1965) from Sarah Campbell. The 1873 birth year solves the math problem, above.
The consolidated list, with caveats in the notes when an entry lacks strong credibility, as follows:

From Sarah Campbell
John Donald McPhail - born 10 July 1847, most likely at Dixon's Point, Wellington Parish, Kent County, NB, the eleventh child of Mary Currie and Rev Donald McPhail. Fourteen-year-old John shows in the 1861 Census with his parents and six of his siblings living in Wellington Parish. In the 1871 Census John appears with his parents and three of his siblings in Wellington Parish. Oddly, though John is 23 years old, no occupation is noted for him in the census. John's father Donald McPhail died in early 1877 bequeathing to John the family farm along with all stock, goods, and chattels. On 21 July 1877 John married Florence Rebecca Weldon (born 1858) in Wellington Parish. Their wedding announcement in the 25 Aug 1877 edition of The Times of Moncton reported that the marriage took place in Little Bouctouche and both John and Florence were of Bouctouche. Florence Rebecca sometimes went by her first name, sometimes by her middle name, but "Florence" has been used consistently here to avoid confusion. John was Baptist from birth while Florence converted from Weslyan Methodist to Baptist after marriage. Clearly the McPhail family members were very supportive of each other. By the time of the 1881 Census of Canada John and Florence have 3 children, and John's mother Mary (Currie) McPhail (age 75) and John's brother Alexander (age 30) are also living in the household. John is a "cultivator", a farmer. In the 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911, and 1921 censuses the family of John's brother Malcolm appears immediately before or after John's family, indicating their farms were next to each other. The 1891, 1901, and 1911 censuses show John's sister Mary McPhail living with John and Florence and their large family. In the 1921 Census John and Florence are listed as living with their son Donald and his family; their place of residence is actually the same, but by that time Donald had taken over working the family farm.
On 30 June 1921, less than two weeks short of his 74th birthday John died of heart failure in St Francis, Wellington Parish. Florence died 4 July 1928 in St Francis. They are buried in Hillside 70
Baptist Church Cemetery, McKees Mills, Kent County, New Brunswick. John and Florence had 12 children, most likely all born at the family farm at Dixon's Point (also known as Dixon Point), near Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick:
-----
John Collins states that Florence died in Bouctouche, Kent County, New Brunswick in 1928 at age 69, while Sarah Campbell states that Florence died on 4 Jul 1928 in St Francis, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick at age 70.
John Collins lists the burial location as Hillside United Baptist Cemetery, while Sarah Campbell describes it as Hillside Baptist Church Cemetery.
John married Florence Rebecca Weldon [254] on 21 Jul 1877 in Little Bouctouche, Kent County, NB, Canada. Florence was born on 24 Jan 1858 in New Brunswick, Canada, died in 1928 in Bouctouche, Kent County, NB, Canada, aged 70, and was buried on 4 Jul 1928 in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, NB, Canada.
Rev. J.D. Murray presided over the wedding. John's father, Rev. Donald McPhail, died earlier that year, otherwise he would have presided over the marriage as he had done so for John's siblings.
Florence Rebecca Weldon was born on 24 Jan 1858 in New Brunswick. She was raised in the Wesleyan Methodist tradition and later became Baptist after her marriage.
Florence sometimes used her first name and sometimes her middle name Rebecca. I use the name Florence to avoid confusion. She was a housewife.
On 21 Jul 1877, at age 19, Florence married John Donald McPhail in Little Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick.
Florence lived with John on the family farm near Dixon's Point in Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick, where they raised their large family.
Florence Rebecca Weldon died on 4 Jul 1928 in St Francis, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick at age 70.
She was buried in Hillside United Baptist Church Cemetery, McKee's Mills, Kent County, New Brunswick.
Florence and John had 10 sons and 2 daughters.

Death Notes: From John Collins:
Alexander and Annie died in Amherst, NS, and were buried at the United Baptist Cemetary, McKee's Mills, NB.
Photocopy of N.B. Death Certificate No. 036262 provided by Francis Harding:
Born in Buctouche, N.B. on May 3, 1850 of Donad McPhail (Scotland) and Mary Currie (Scotland) , died at the age of 75 years, 3 months, 27 days at the City of St. John General Public Hostpital, buried in Buctouche, N.B. on September 2, 1925, undertaker presiding was John Chamberlain, cause of death was anuria, contributing factor was enlarged prostrate for the 2 years prior to death, an operation on August 28 was conducted.
Alexander Bede McPhail was born on 3 May 1850 at Dixon Point near Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. He went by the name of Alex.
His middle name is unusual. By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Bede occasionally appears as a middle name in English-speaking regions, particularly where biblical literacy, classical education, or Anglican and Protestant scholarly traditions were strong. His father, Rev. Donald McPhail's movement from Church of Scotland to the Free Church of Scotland, and ultimately into the Baptist denomination, is not merely denominational. It reflected a deepening emphasis on Donald's personal conviction, scripture, conscience, and preaching, rather than institutional authority. Alex's middle name "Bede" reflected his father's deep convictions, and probably shaped nearly every aspect of Alex's life.
At the time of his birth, Alex's father was 51 years old and his mother was 44. He was born in Dixon Point, a coastal community just outside Bouctouche, Kent Country, NB.
Alex was a harness maker by trade throughout his working life. His occupation likely contributed to the family's many relocations. This was a typical successful trajectory for a harness maker before the dawn of the automobile era. Harness making was highly specialized and demanding trade. It required a long apprenticeship, highly developed hand skills in leatherworking, and knowledge of horses and their equipment. Young men often travelled to towns where an established harness shop operated and live as boarders while learning the craft.
In 1870, at about age 20, Alex travelled to Sherman, Aroostook County, Maine to apprentice as a harness maker. He was one of four boarders in the home of Martha J. Perry.
A year later Alex went to Richibucto, about 30km (20 miles) North of Bouctouche, either as a harness making apprentice or a journeyman. It is possible that is where Alex was introduced to the McNeil's, his future wife's family, who were from Richibucto. Annie would have been about age eight then.
By 1881 Alexander had returned to McPhail family farm in Bouctouche, which by then was owned by his brother John, after their father died in 1877. His occupation was recorded by a French-speaking census enumerator as "feserer de harnais," clearly intended to mean "faiseur de harnais" (harness maker).
On 25 Jul 1884, at age 34, Alex married Annie Isabelle McNeil in New Brunswick. He was older than the average age of marriage, but that was not unusual for highly specialized tradesmen.
Sometime before or after they married in 1884, Annie and Alexander moved to Richibucto, NB. The record over these few years is fuzzy. In one scenario, they moved to Richibucto (and possibly married there) and their first four children were born in Richibucto. There are alternate timelines. They may have moved to Richibucto after Thomas ("Harry") was born in Bouctouche. Another timeline suggests they moved to Albert, PEI, where their first two children were born, and then to Richibucto.
We do know that by 1890, Alex and Annie had moved to Kings County, New Brunswick, settling in the rural community of Butternut Ridge, later known as Havelock. Their remaining seven children were born there.
Alex was an active harness maker in Havelock during the 1890s, initially operating for C. I. Keith in what later became the Farmer's Store, and later establishing his own shop on Side Street, with a public hall upstairs known as Keith's Hall. Alex was likely the principal harness maker in Havelock.
When he was about 56, Alex and Annie moved to Amherst, NS in 1906, three years after their last child, Gordon, was born. By 1911 they were living at 9 Mill Street, Amherst, with their five youngest children. Alex was listed as a self-employed harness maker, and all members of the household were recorded as able to read and write. By 1918, the family was residing at 85 Lower Victoria Street in Amherst.
By 1921, when Alex was about age 71, he was living as a boarder in the home of William and Myrtle Darrah in Chipman, Queens County, New Brunswick, where he continued to operate a harness shop. At that time his marital status was recorded as married, although Annie was living separately with two of their children in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick. The reasons for Alex and Annie living separately remain unknown.
Alexander Bede McPhail died on 30 Aug 1925 at Saint John General Public Hospital, Saint John County, New Brunswick, age 75. He was buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, Kent County, New Brunswick. At the time of his death, Alex's residence was recorded as Torryburn, fewer than two kilometers from Brookville, where Annie was then living.
Alex and Annie had six sons and five daughters.
Alex's father Donald spelled the family surname as "McPhail," rather than "MacPhail," which was more common among Prince Edward Island relatives. Alex retained the "Mc" spelling throughout his life. Among his descendants, surname usage later varied, with seven of Alex and Annie's ten children using "McPhail" and three adopting "MacPhail."

From Sarah Campbell
ALEXANDER BEDE MCPHAIL was born 3 May 1850 at Dixon Point near Bouctouche, Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. He went by "Alex" and was the twelfth and youngest child in his family. At the time of his birth his father was 51 years old and his mother was 44. Alex's middle name seems an unusual choice. "Bede" is an uncommon boy's name that originated in England, derived from Old English Baeda meaning "prayer". It is also the name of the saintly Venerable Bede, a famous Benedictine monk of the seventh century who scholars consider to be the first known writer of English prose. Exactly why Alex was given this middle name "Bede" is not known.
Alex's father Donald spelled his surname using "Me", unlike most of the MacPhail relatives on Prince Edward Island who used "Mac". Alex continued with the "Me" spelling. As you will see, his descendants varied on the surname spelling. Seven of Alex and Annie's ten children used "Me" while the remaining three went with "Mac". In this family history I have used the most apparent version of spelling for each of Alex's descendants.
The 1851 Census of Canada manuscript returns for Kent County, New Brunswick no longer exist so Alex makes his first appearance in official records in the 1861 Census of Canada. He is living with his family in Wellington Parish, Kent County (at Dixon Point near Bouctouche). Instead of being entered in the census as "Alexander" he is listed as "Ebenezer", an obvious error in name on the part of the census taker for this individual clearly is Alex. He next is noted in the 1870 United States Census living in Sherman, Aroostook County, Maine, USA, one of four boarders at the home of Martha J Perry. Alex's occupation is recorded as harness maker. In the 1881 Census of Canada he is back at Dixon Point at the family homestead which is now owned by his brother John who inherited it upon their father's death in 1877. Alex's occupation is recorded by a French-speaking census taker as "feserer de harnais" which should be "faiseur de harnais", "harness maker" in English.
On 25 July 1884 Alex married ANNIE ISABELLA MCNEIL in New Brunswick. Annie was born 20 Oct 1860 in Richibucto, Weldford Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick, the daughter of Joseph McNeil (c 1833-1909) and Mary Jane Pine (c 1824-1880). Annie's father Joseph was a harbour pilot in Richibucto. Annie's only sister died at age two, and of her five brothers four survived to adulthood and all had jobs relating to the sea. When Annie was just 20 years old her mother died, leaving Annie as the only surviving female in her immediate family. Annie's maternal grandparents were Nathaniel Pine (c 1800-c 1875) and Martha Ward (1806-c 1881) of Richibucto. Through her mother's line Annie is a Mayflower descendant as her ancestors Stephen Hopkins and his daughter Constance Hopkins both sailed on the Mayflower in 1620. [Annie Isabella (McNeil) McPhail1 Mary Jane (Pine) McNeil2 Nathaniel Pine3 Priscilla (Nickerson) Pine4 Bathsheba (Snow) Nickerson5 Ebenezer Snow6 Stephen Snow7 Constance (Hopkins) Snow8 Stephen Hopkins9]
Alex was a harness maker by trade and perhaps his occupation was the reason the family moved often. Alex and Annie's first known marital residence was Alberton, Lot 4, Prince County, Prince Edward Island where their two eldest children were born. Alexander's eldest brother, James McPhail, also lived in Alberton where James was employed as a shoemaker. James's wife, Priscilla (Pine) McPhail, was a sister to Annie's mother Mary Jane (Pine) McNeil. In other words, more simply,
Annie was Priscilla's niece, and Annie and Priscilla married brothers. This is yet another example of tangled roots in our family tree. No doubt the two families were close with their double family connections. In 1887 or 1888 Alex, Annie, and family moved to Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick, probably for economic reasons. Their third child was born in Richibucto.
By 1890 Alex and Annie were living in Kings County, New Brunswick in the rural community of Butternut Ridge, a placename that gradually changed to Havelock. My Mac/McPhail relatives always used the name Havelock in reminiscences and until I did research for this family history I was not aware the community was once called Butternut Ridge, a much more evocative name. Alex and Annie's last seven children were born there. According to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick: "in 1898 Butternut Ridge had 1 post office, 1 cheese factory, 1 church, and a population of about 150 ... In 1904 Butternut Ridge was the terminus of the Elgin, Petitcodiac, and Havelock Railway and had 4 stores, 1 mineral water factory, 1 carriage factory, 2 churches, and a population of 500". Alex, Annie, and their growing family are recorded in the 1891 and 1901 Canadian censuses living in Havelock.
Havelock Women's Institute's book Butternut Ridge - Havelock: Our Proud Heritage, 1809-1989 provides more details: "In 1890 Alex McPhail was a local Harness maker at Havelock Corner, he was still in operation in 1893. He carried on the business, at first for CI Keith, in the building that was later the Farmers Store. He later set up his own business in a building on the Side Street". The book goes on to reveal insight into community life in Havelock: "The Farmer's store was built by Murray B Keith and John C Price in the late 1880's. C Keith owned the building, and over the years he had various types of businesses set up there, - a Taylor-shop operated by John Brittain, a Harness-shop operated by Alex McPhail. Mr. McPhail later set up a shop of his own on the "new road" leading to the Station. While the ground floor was used for a place of business, the upstairs was a Public Hall, known as 'Keith's Hall'. It is recorded a 'Goose Supper' was held in Keith's Hall, in Jan 1891, proceeds to go towards the Public Hall that was under construction on the Side street. $25.00 was raised".
I was very curious to see Alex's actual workplaces and home in Butternut Ridge. I could not find any historical cadastral maps of the area for the turn of the twentieth century. I searched New Brunswick land records and discovered Alex McPhail never owned property in that province. The Havelock Women's Institute book, however, again proved very helpful. It revealed that the building at Havelock Corner that housed Alex's first work place, the building that later became the Farmers Store, was destroyed by fire in 1942. The clue provided by the Women's Institute book that Alex's second workplace was "on the new road leading to the Station" was no help because in the ensuing years the train tracks were taken up and the Station torn down. The book also said Alex's second place of business was "on the Side Street", as was the Public Hall under construction in the 1890s. The Public Hall survives today, now Havelock Memorial Hall, situated on Cross Street, once known as the Side Street. Unfortunately it was impossible to determine which building on Cross Street was Alex's workplace or whether it even still exists. The McPhail home in Butternut Ridge is likewise difficult to identify. Alex and Annie's son Donald, in his booklet Boys Flying Kites and Other Cautionary Tales, implies that his "father, the harness maker" walked to work and it was not a long distance.
About 1904 Alex, Annie, and their family moved to Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Gradually their elder children left home to start their own lives. In the 1911 Census of Canada Alex, Annie, and their five youngest children are living at 9 Mill St, Amherst. That house is no longer
standing and the property is now a vacant lot. Alex's occupation is listed as self-employed harness maker in the census. The records show all seven family members are able to read and write. By 1918 the McPhail family was living at 85 Lower Victoria Street, Amherst.
The 192 1 Census of Canada lists Alex as one of five boarders at the home of William and Myrtle Darrah in the village of Chipman, Queens County, New Brunswick. No immediate family members are living with Alex or elsewhere in the Chipman area. He pays monthly board, and his marital status is recorded "married". His occupation is self-employed harness maker in his own shop. The record says Alex speaks English, but not French. For the column "Language other than English or French spoken as mother tongue", the enumerators for the 1921 Census of Canada were instructed not to ask details regarding mother tongue if a person's racial origin was English, Scottish, or Irish (Instructions to Enumerators, Library and Archives Canada). Scottish Gaelic may, in fact, have been Alex's mother tongue, the primary language he grew up speaking from early childhood. Meanwhile, the 1921 Census lists Annie living with her son Norman and her daughter Margaret in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick. They are renting a five-room house for $10 per month, and Norman is the only wage-earner. Brookville is over 150 km from Chipman. Why were Alex and Annie living apart? Had their marriage broken down? Were there no living accommodations in Chipman suitable for a couple? Was Annie's health precarious, to such a degree that she required her daughter's care? Unanswered questions.
Recently I asked my cousin Alex McPhail, keeper of Rev Donald McPhail's Bible, for details
regarding that family heirloom. When Alex got out the box containing the Bible he noticed for the
first time a couple of enclosed partial letters. On closer examination we determined the pages from the letters are almost 100 years old. They are windows into the final months of Alex's life. I was
amazed to discover not only could I easily identify the letter writers and receivers but 1 understood
most of the pages' contents. See copies of these pages along with my transcriptions and interpretations in Appendix G, pages 116-117, and Appendix H, pages 118-119. My sister Cath was right when she said I know the folks in our great-great-grandmother Mary's line in a private and personal way.
Alex died 30 August 1925, age 75, at Saint John General Public Hospital. At the time of his death his place of residence was Torryburn, less than two km up the road from Brookville, his wife Annie's last known address. According to his death certificate Alex died of anuria, contributory factor enlarged prostate. He is buried in Hillside Baptist McKees Mills, Kent County, New Brunswick. Alex was the last surviving member of his immediate family.
Annie survived Alex by 15 years. She was not only the last surviving spouse of her husband's immediate family, she also appears to have been the last living member of her own immediate family. One of her six siblings cannot be traced after 1894, but Annie clearly outlived her remaining five siblings by over three decades. According to her obituary she suffered ill health for many years. The last three years of her life she lived with her daughter Sarah (MacPhail) Watt and son-in-law George Watt in Brookville. Annie died 3 August 1940 at the home of her daughter Sarah. Her death certificate states cause of death was cardiac asthma. In spite of its name, cardiac asthma is actually not asthma; it is breathing difficulty as a result of fluid buildup in the lungs due to heart failure. Annie's funeral was held from the home of her daughter Sarah in Brookville. She is buried with her husband Alex in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, New Brunswick.
Alex married Annie Isabelle McNeil [35], daughter of Joseph McNeil [191] and Mary Jane Pine [190], on 25 Jul 1884 in New Brunswick, Canada. Marriage status: married. Annie was born on 20 Oct 1863 in Richibucto, Kent County, NB, Canada, died on 3 Aug 1940 in Brookville, Saint John County, NB, Canada, aged 76, and was buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, NB, Canada. The cause of her death was Cardiac Asthma.
Death Notes: Alexander and Annie died in Amherst, NS, and were buried at the United Baptist Cemetary, McKee's Mills, NB.
Annie Isabelle McNeil was born on 20 Oct 1860 in Richibucto, Weldford Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. She was affiliated with the Church of England earlier in life and later identified with the Methodist Church.
On 25 Jul 1884 Annie married Alexander Bede McPhail in New Brunswick. Annie was age 23 at the time.Alex was 34.
During their marriage Annie lived with Alex in several communities. Their first home together was in Alberton, Lot 4, Prince County, Prince Edward Island. Around 1887 or 1888 the family moved to Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick, and by about 1890 they settled in Butternut Ridge, later called Havelock, in Kings County, New Brunswick. The family remained there for a number of years while Alex operated a harness-making business.
Around 1904 Annie moved with her husband and family to Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. By 1911 the family was living at 9 Mill Street in Amherst, and by 1918 they were residing at 85 Lower Victoria Street.
By 1921 Annie was living in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick with two of her children while Alex was living separately in Chipman, Queens County, New Brunswick. The reason for their separation is not known.
Alex died on 30 Aug 1925 when Annie was age 64.
In the final three years of her life Annie lived with her daughter Sarah Watt and son-in-law George Watt in Brookville. Annie Isabelle McNeil McPhail died on 3 Aug 1940 in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick, age 79, of cardiac asthma. Her funeral was held from the home of her daughter Sarah, and she was buried beside her husband in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, Kent County, New Brunswick.
Annie and Alex had six sons and five daughters.

- The 1881 Census in Lot 29 was compiled by a man who wrote many names phonetically, raising doubts concerning his language and perhaps hearing abilities. This McQuarrie family was found as Charles & Meriar McLarey! [Try saying the names with a Scots accent!] The children were Marget and Youphn! Maray, Charles' sister Mary, age 27 and Yepheanie, his mother Euphemia, age 84 and a John A. Gambel age 14 were also in the household. Mother Euphemia's age of 85 years (b. 1805/06) in the 1891 Census indicates some data problem! When Charles was born, she would be 54 years old by the 1881 information, or 45 years old by the 1891 info. The 1891 age is thought to be more likely. The McQuarrie stone gives her date of death as the 23rd of February 1894 ® 90 making her date of birth 1803/04.

Catherine is placed in this family as she is of "DeSable" at the time of her marriage. The Duncan McPhail family, who were the only McPhails to actually live near DeSable in Lot 29, have no place to fit her in. If ÔDeSable" is understood as the parish of that name that incorporates Lot 30, the only family on Argyle Shore into which she can be fitted is the Neil McPhail Jr. family. The Appin Rd McPhails, who are located closer to Kingston have no spaces or are later starters.

Neil McPhail was born on 21 Nov 1862 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, and was baptized there on 15 Apr 1863. His religion was Free Church of Scotland.
He was at home, working on his father's family farm until 1884, when he immigrated to Boston, Massachusetts. He never became naturalized.
Neil later moved to Oakland, California, intending to study dentistry but instead entered the livery business. He partnered with Franklin K. Lane of the DeSable area, who later became U.S. Secretary of the Interior under President Woodrow Wilson.
In 1886, Neil moved to San Rafael, Marin County, California, and opened a two-storey livery stable at Fourth and B Streets to house horses and carriages.
He returned to Prince Edward Island approximately four years later to visit an ailing sister, possibly Isabella McPhail, wife of Dr. John Murchison, around the time of the birth of her daughter Laura on 1 April 1891. During this visit, Neil became acquainted with his future wife, Katherine, who was nursing an ailing sister.
Neil continued in the livery business for many years. He housed a donated horse-drawn ambulance in his stable in 1905.
Following the First World War, the livery business declined due to the rise of automobiles. Neil and his sons then founded McPhail Fuel Company, supplying wood, coal, and later fuel oil. The business expanded into building materials and appliances. By 1955, it was located at 917 C Street and later became known as McPhails Inc., operated by a grandson.
Neil was a charter member of Mira Monte Camp 359, Woodmen of the World. He and his wife lived in San Rafael from 1894 onward. A front-page article in the Marin County Independent Journal on the day of his death described him as "one of Marin's pioneer and most active businessmen."

User ID: MP114152.
- In the 1920 California Census, his date of birth is 1863/64. He was at home during the 1881 Census. He is mentioned in his father's will in 1906 as "at present in California", and was to get $400 from the estate. After working on his father's farm, NEIL emigrated to Boston, MA in 1884 but never took out naturalization papers. He left Boston for Oakland, CA intending to study dentisty but instead went into the livery business and opened up a stable with Franklin K. Lane from the DeSable area who later became Secretary of the Interior in Woodrow Wilson's cabinet [19xx].
- In 1886, NEIL moved to San Rafael, Marin Co., CA which is just north of San Francisco and opened a livery stable at Fourth and B Streets, this one with two storeys to house horses and carriages. Four years after arriving in San Rafael, he returned to PEI "to visit his ailing sister". She may have been ISABELLA McPHAIL (MP114151), wife of Dr. John Murchison, who was having her first child. LAURA MURCHISON arrived 1 April 1891. Katie Murchison, a younger sister of Dr. John Murchison was nursing the ailing sister, and NEIL and Katie took a liking to one another.
- NEIL continued with the livery business and two books on the history of Marin County make reference to him in the early days. "Sidewalks were made of wood planks and Fourth St. was not paved. Mud was four inches deep in the rainy season. Periodically Mr. Zappetini or Mr McPhail, who had a livery stable near Fourth and B Streets, sent a man up to Fairhills to show horses and ponies." "Ambulances, like fire engines, were scarce. Mrs. A.W. Foster donated one in 1905, horse drawn and kept in McPhail's stable." "When a fire threatened the McPhail Stable, the ambulance was removed for safety." ["125 Years of Marin County History" by Michel Rousselin and "The Making of Marin County" by Jack Mason]
- Shortly after WW I, the livery stable was losing business to the horseless carriages, so NEIL and his sons founded McPhail Fuel Co., supplying wood, then coal and finally fuel oil to customers. In the years since then the company branched out into building materials and appliances. As of 1955 it was located at 917 C St. and today is known as McPhails Inc. and is run by a grandson. NEIL was a charter member of the Mira Monte Camp 359, Woodmen of the World. Katie Ann was very active for 41 years in the Congregational Church in San Rafael. She and NEIL had lived in that city since 1894. A front page article in the Marin County Independent Journal on the day of his death, upon which much of this information is based, described him as "one of Marin's pioneer and most active businessmen".
On 8 Feb 1895 Neil wmarried Katherine Ann MURCHISON, daughter of Malcolm MURCHISON (1825/1826-) & Catherine McDONALD (1829/1830-), in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI.

- DOB in 1901 Census is 21 Feb 1865.
- COLIN remained single and helped his father work the farm. According to his father's will, COLIN got $5.00 "as he has his (share?) earlier", whatever it was. This reference may pertain to the fact that he had his own farm at Cornwall, PEI but it is not known if he had that property in 1908 when his father died. It also possible that he continued to live and work for a while with his brother GRANGER McPHAIL (MP114154) when the latter took over from their father. His farm passed to his nephew JACK M. MacPHAIL (MP1141546).

John Granger MacPhail was born on 29 Jan 1866 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI, and was baptized there on 9 Aug 1868. He went by the name of Granger. His religion was Free Church of Scotland.
As a child, he was stricken with a severe case of scarlet fever accompanied by prolonged high body temperatures. He lost much of his hair to the disease.
Granger became a farmer on Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Prince Edward Island.
On 25 February 1891, Granger served as a witness at the marriage of his sister Isabella McPhail to Dr. John Murchison.
On 11 Mar 1897, at age 31, Granger married Christine Ann MacEachern in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI.
After his eldest brother Neil moved to California and when his father's will passed over John's next older brother Colin, Granger inherited the family farm upon his father's death in 1908. The property was substantial and included several parcels:
- the land identified as Entry No. 117, Lot 30 H-1, with a one-story, nine-room wood-frame house on Argyle Shore;
- a combined 49- and 22-acre parcel between the rear of his property and the Tryon Road, intended for one of his sons upon reaching adulthood;
- a 30-acre parcel south of the Tryon Road, bounded on the west by the division line between Lots 29 and 30, known as the "McCalder farm," which he intended to retain for his son Angus.
Christine died on 27 Jun 1928 when Granger was 62.

Name in baptismal register is John Grainger MacPhail.
-While a child, GRANGER was severely stricken with scarlet fever and its high body temperatures. Family memories associate his lack of hair on his head and elsewhere to the high fever he endured. Kennison MacKinnon in an interview in 1997 remembered GRANGER as "a shower", that is one who puts on a good show and appearance.
With the departure of his eldest brother NEIL (MP114152) for California and his father's decision to pass over COLIN (MP114153), GRANGER came to own the farm on his father's death in 1908. This included the parcel of land identified as Entry #117, Lot 30 H-1 with its wood frame house of one storey and nine rooms on the Argyle Shore at the time of the 1891 Census, the 49 + 22 acre parcel of land between the back of his property and the Tryon Road which was to go to one of his sons when of age, plus the 30 acre piece of land south of the Tryon Rd. and bounded on the west by the division line between Lots 29 and 30, known as the "McCalder farm" which he was to keep for his son ANGUS (MP1141541).
On 25 February 1891, he was a witness at the wedding of his sister ISABELLA (1251) to Dr. John Murchison.

Henry ALPHONSO Collyer (H.A.C.) McPHAIL (Peter5, Neil4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander ?1). Born on 29 Jul 1854 in Crapaud, Lot 29, PEI. Henry ALPHONSO Collyer (H.A.C.) was baptized in Bedeque-Crapaud Wes. Meth Circuit, on 29 Oct 1854. Henry ALPHONSO Collyer (H.A.C.) died in Santa Barbara, CA, on 29 Jun 1941; he was 86. Occupation: Bookseller @ Santa Cruz. Religion: Methodist. User ID: MP114191.
He was listed in the 1861 Census as a male born 1845/56. The Lane Genealogy mentioned in connection with his parents, gives his place of birth as Cambridge, Mass based on his obituary in 1941. That obituary mentions him living there for several years during which time he owned and operated a store selling books and stationary for a three year period and then moved to Santa Barbara in 1876. This would imply that he stayed behind in Cambridge at age 15 years or less when his family moved to Minnesota. This unusual sequence of events might be possible if he stayed with relatives for some reason such as schooling. On arrival in Santa Barbara, he is said to have purchased Tillie's book store, and to have operated it until 1905. What he did during the rest of his life is not known, but his obituary described him as "a prominent businessman in Santa Barbara since 1876".
ALPHONSO, "Uncle FONSE" or as he was most often known, "H.A.C." , is remembered by JULIA M. MacPHAIL WILLIAMS (MP1143332) for the time when he visited her parents' home in Ottawa, Ont in the 1920s. H.A.C. was a full second cousin of her father EWEN STEWART MacPHAIL (MP114333) and brought a gift of a pair of opal earrings for each of JULIA and her younger sister IRENE (MP1143333). By JULIA's description, he would have stood about 5 feet 8 inches tall and was somewhat portly. Rev. BLAIR MacPHAIL (MP1144244) of Charlottetown, PEI remembered H.A.C. visiting PEI on several occasions.

- His parents left this area though, and moved to Cascumpec in western Prince County, PEI, so Marcus probably came into adulthood in this area. Leander M. Clark was living in Santa Barbara, Calif in 1880 US Census in household of Dewitt T. Archer. He is 32, born PEI, single and a farmer.

About 1875, at approximately age 16-17, he arrived in Santa Barbara, California, with his family. It is possible that he remained in Lake City for a period after his parents relocated and came to Santa Barbara in 1878 at approximately age 19-20.

She and Edwin lived at Santa Barbara at least until after 1904 when their first daughter was married. They seem to have moved to Los Angeles, Calif. by 1913 as it appears that first daughter went to her parents' home for the birth of her first child at that time. After Edwin's death, Hettie continued to live at Los Angeles at least until after 1919 as suggested by the marriage of another daughter and the birth of three more grandchildren at that location.

At that time he was also involved in some real estate speculation (Kern Co CA oil land in Devil's Den) and when financial reverses and pressures from home about his running around became too much, he killed himself.

The obituary states that she married in 1881, while the marriage record gives the exact date 15 Feb 1882.
Archibald Alexander MacNeill's birth information conflicts across sources. The main entry gives 16 Oct 1853. The 1881 and 1891 censuses suggest Apr 1853 to Apr 1854. The 1901 Census gives age 48 together with 16 Oct 1853, which is internally inconsistent. His gravestone gives 1855.

+ 386 F ii. Doris Stewart McPhail [1823] was born on 23 Oct 1901 in Summerside, PEI, Canada and died in 1919 in Summerside, PEI, Canada, aged 18.
165. Ewen Stewart MacPhail [1575] (Colin Alexander "Sandy"5, Colin4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 5 Jan 1863 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, was christened on 15 Apr 1863 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, died on 9 May 1947 in Ottawa, ON, Canada, aged 84, and was buried in Beachwood Mausoleum, Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Ewen Stewart McPhail received his elementary education at Argyle Shore School, west of his father's farm, and later attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown. By age 21 he was teaching at Spring Valley, Lot 18, Prince County, Prince Edward Island.
Ewen was said to have travelled to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in about 1891 at age 28 to attend Harvard University and graduated in the early 1890s. Harvard records do not confirm his attendance. He returned to Prince Edward Island in 1895 and became principal of the school at Crapaud, Lot 29, where he remained through at least 1899.
In 1897 he passed the Qualifying Examination for the Civil Service of Canada. The Certificate of Proficiency dated 31 December 1897 described him as aged 35 and resident in Crapaud. He signed his name "McPhail," while the certificate was written as "Macphail." The signature was witnessed by Oliver B. Wadman, JP, of Crapaud.
In 1901, at the invitation of Sir George Foster, he accepted a position with the Canadian government and moved to Ottawa. His civil service record lists his start date as 4 March 1901 as a civil service clerk earning $1,200 per year. He lodged at the home of George Fraser.
Ewen worked as a clerk in the census office of the Department of Agriculture. At that time the Department of Agriculture conducted the census. He conducted the first comprehensive statistical analysis of Canadian census data, transforming census use from tabulation to analytical interpretation. His groundbreaking work influenced the way the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, now know as Statistics Canada, came to analyze census data.
Ewen rose to Superintendent of Compilation by 1918 and later became chief of the Demography Branch, a position he held for sixteen years until retirement in 1934. He participated in or led the statistics analysis for the 1901, 1911, 1921, and 1931 censuses. His statistical methods became the gold standard in Canada, the United States, and Great Britain.
In December 1912 Ewen travelled to Baltimore, Maryland, to manage the affairs of his brother Charles MacPhail, who had just died. Upon his return to Ottawa on Christmas evening, Ewen learned that his father had died while he was away, and that the funeral had already taken place. His father's 1908 will did not mention Ewen or the family of his deceased brother Colin.
Ewen was a 33rd-degree Mason, a member of the Royal Order of Scotland, an elder at St. Paul's Presbyterian Church (later United Church) in Ottawa, and a member of the executive council of the Canadian Public Health Association and its Council on Vital Statistics and Epidemiology.
He was named after Ewen (Hugh) Stewart, from whom his father acquired a 56-acre parcel of land east of land held in 1880 by Dugald Stewart. Catherine Stewart, the second wife of this Ewen Stewart, was a maternal aunt to Ewen MacPhail. Family folklore states that Ewen was "brought up" by the Stewart family. His daughter Julia recalled being told that her father spent significant time with the Stewarts.

Ewen Stewart MacPHAIL (Colin Alexander (SANDY)5, Colin McPHAIL4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander ?1). Born on 5 Jan 1863 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI. Ewen Stewart was baptized in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI, on 15 Apr 1863. Ewen Stewart died in Ottawa, Ont., Canada, on 9 May 1947; he was 84. Buried in Beachwood Mausoleum, Ottawa, Ont.

Known as "Ewen" on PEI and "Stewart" in Ottawa and in his immediate family.
Visit to mausoleum in May 2000 by JMC. Recorded data as Ewen Stewart MacPhail/ January 5, 1963 - May 9, 1947.
- He was named after Ewen (Hugh) Stewart from whom his father, ALEXANDER McPHAIL (MP11433) acquired the 56 acre parcel of land immediately east of the parcel which was held in 1880 by Dugald Stewart. Catherine Stewart, the second wife of this Ewen Stewart, was a maternal aunt to EWEN McPHAIL. EWEN was said to have "been brought up" by the Ewen Stewart family, according to a Campbell history note, and his daughter JULIA (MP1143332) in 1996 had vague memories of being told that her father spent a lot of time with the Stewarts.
EWEN received his elementary education at the Argyle Shore School, a short distance west along the road from his father's farm and then went to Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown, PEI for advanced education. By the age of 21 he was teaching at Spring Valley, Lot 18, PEI which is north of Kensington in the north-east corner of Prince County. At the same school at the same time, and junior to EWEN, was Andrew MacPhail [later Sir Andrew MacPhail] of Orwell, Lot 50, PEI. The two men retained a life long relationship that led some of the family to believe that they were cousins. The family of Andrew MacPhail traces back to Nairn, Inverness, on the east coast of Scotland, and has no apparent blood relationship to either the Argyle Shore MacPhails nor the Clyde River area MacPhails.
- He is a bachelor of Malpeque, Lot 18 on marriage licence to Janie Roach. and a bachelor of Crapaud, Lot 29 on marriage license to Julia Tuplin.
- Family memories say that he went to Cambridge, Mass. about 1891 to attend Harvard University where he graduated with a degree in ______________ in 18__. Harvard records do not show him as having attended there. EWEN returned to the island in 1895 and took up a position as principal of the school at Crapaud, Lot 29, PEI and was still there in 1899.
- In 1897 EWEN took the Qualifying Examination for the Civil Service of Canada and in the Certificate of Proficiency dated 31 December of that year, he is said to have "acquitted himself satisfactorily". In signing his own name he spelled it McPhail although the writer of the Certificate inscribed it "Macphail". At that time he is described as aged 35 years and of Crapaud, PEI. Oliver B. Wadman, JP of Crapaud, witnessed the signature.
The 1901, at the invitation of Sir George Foster, EWEN accepted a position as assistant head of education with the Canadian government, moving very quickly to Ottawa, Ont. that spring. His civil service record shows him as beginning on 4 March 1901 and his date of birth as 5 January 1865. He appeared in the 1901 Census of Ottawa, Div. 3, pg 7, taken on April 9 & 10, as E. STEWART MacPHAIL, lodging at the home of George Fraser (family #55). His age is given as 35 yrs and his date of birth 5 January 1866, which was three years later than was correct. He was a clerk, CS (Civil Service) and was earning $1200/yr. His wife Julia and daughter MARY (MP1143331) came that fall, moving into a house on Sandy Hill. Later they would move to MacDonald St, and sometime prior to 1906, to Cartier St. in Ottawa and in the summer of 1913 to their newly built home at 72 Delaware Ave. just a few blocks away. They lived there until after his death in 1947. It appears that he began using his second name of STEWART about the time of his move to Ottawa for even to this day he is remembered by the oldest members of the family on the Island as Uncle EWEN.
The promised job evaporated before he arrived and STEWART appears in the 1901 Ottawa City Directory as a clerk in the census office of the Department of Agriculture, and lodging at 237 Gloucester St. He was assigned to set up the first statistical analysis of the information gathered in the 1901 all-Canada Census. Prior to that time the census material had been been used to tabulate sums on people, land, produce and goods. Statistical analysis allowed trends to be discerned and plans for the future to be made with more confidence. In later years, this task was done under the Department of Trade and Commerce until finally the group became the Dominion Bureau of Vital Statistics (latterly Statistics Canada). The 1918 Civil Service List shows him as Superintendent of Compilation at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. STEWART was lastly in the Demography Branch of the Bureau, and had been its chief for 16 years when he retired in 1934. The statistics of the Canadian census in 1901, 1911, 1921 and 1931 were largely completed under his direction. He has been called the Father of Vital Statistics for his format of data gathering and analysis became the basis of Vital Statistics for Canada, United States, Great Britian and other governments.
In December 1912, STEWART rushed to Baltimore, Maryland, USA at the death of his oldest brother CHARLES MacPHAIL (MP114331) and spent a week or more arranging CHARLES' funeral and affairs as Margaret, his wife, had predeceased him leaving a young child MARGARET CHRISTINA MacPHAIL (MP1143312). Returning to Ottawa on Christmas evening, STEWART learned that his own father ALEXANDER MacPHAIL (MP11433) had passed away that day and that the funeral would be held before he could get there by train from Ottawa. Interestingly the will of ALEXANDER, made in 1908, made no mention of STEWART nor of the family of his deceased older brother COLIN (MP114332). All other living members of the family were mentioned.
STEWART was active in many fields. He was a 33rd degree Mason, a member of the Royal Order of Scotland having been inducted by the head of the order who had come from Scotland for the occasion, and an active elder in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church (later United Church) in Ottawa. He was a member of the executive council of the Canadian Public Health Association and its Council on Vital Statistics and Epidemiology.
On 17 Jun 1885 Ewen Stewart married Charlotte ROACH, daughter of Philip ROACH & Charlotte SHEEN, in Summerside, PEI. Born in 1861 in Darnley, Lot 18, Prince County, P.E.I. Rev. Walter Henson, Baptist minister of Summerside, PEI. Witnesses were Mr & Mrs George Sheen. Bondsmen were Ewen S. McPhail & George Sheen. Married by license. Charlotte died in Malpeque, Lot 18, Prince County, PEI, on 1 Nov 1885; she was 24. Buried in United Presbyterian Cemetery, Malpeque. Occupation: Housewife.
- Darnley is about 6 km north of Spring Valley. The marriage bond between EWEN S. McPHAIL and George Sheen, a cousin of the bride, the marriage license and the extract from the marriage register all with that date were found in the PEI Archives. Charlotte was the daughter of Philip Roach and Charlotte Sheen of Darnley and formerly of Ireland. The 1863 Lake Map shows P. Roach and J. Roach on the Darnley-Malpeque Rd (Rte 20) about where Rte 102 crosses today. Both Charlotte and her family were listed in the 1881 and 1891 Censuses as Roman Catholic, but in the 1901 Census their religion is Presbyterian. Charlotte, her parents and a brother and his wife and children were all buried in the same United Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Malpeque in adjoining gravesites. PEI historians say that there were conversions to Protestantism in this area in the last quarter of the 1800s and this Roach family seem to have been among them as virtually all other Roach families are listed as Roman Catholic.
On 19 Nov 1886 Ewen Stewart secondly married Jane B. ROACH, in Charlottetown, PEI. Rev. Job Shenton, Methodist minister in Charlottetown, PEI. Witnesses were Emma & Jennie Shenton, perhaps the minister's wife and daughter. Bondsmen were Ewen S. McPhail & Charles Corbett, a farmer of Granville, Lot 21, PEI., License dated 19 Nov 1886. Born in Darnley, Lot 18, Prince County, P.E.I. Jane B. died on 16 May 1890 in Malpeque, Lot 18, Prince County, PEI. Occupation: Housewife.
- At that time EWEN is described as a bachelor and teacher of Malpeque. The marriage bond between EWEN STEWART McPHAIL and Charles Corbett, a farmer of Granville, Lot 21, PEI and the extract from the marriage register with that date were found in the PEI Archives. Janie's parents have not been identified but she was not a sister to Charlotte, his first wife. It is possible that she was the Mary J. Roach, 10 years old in the 1881 Census of Lot 18 and daughter of James and Catherine Roach. This young woman would likely have been a first cousin to Charlotte Roach. Janie died 16 May 1890 at Darnley, possibly in childbirth. No children are known of this union.
On 16 Oct 1895 Ewen Stewart thirdly married Julia Sarah TUPLIN, daughter of John TUPLIN (12 Apr 1822-24 Sep 1872) & Mary BENTLEY (17 Sep 1828-17 Aug 1906), in Margate, Lot 19, P.E.I. Rev. Richard Opie Methodist minister of Kensington, PEI. Bondsman Ewen S. McPhail & Jabez Lea, farmer of Tryon, Lot 28, PEI a brother-in-law-to-be of the bride. Marriage license dated 12 Oct 1895. Born on 10 Oct 1870 in Margate, Lot 19, Queen's County, P.E.I. Julia Sarah died in Toronto, Ont. Canada, on 3 Dec 1955; she was 85. Occupation: Housewife. Religion: Methodist > Free Church Of Scotland > Presbyterian > United.

- Their daughter JULIA MacPHAIL WILLIAMS (MP1143332) remembers being told that her father, was originally interested in BERTHA, the older of the two Tuplin daughters then at home and had contrived to have a reason to visit the family. Julia, the youngest of the daughters, decided that STEWART would be a "fine catch" and walked to the far end of the lane to the house. She was waiting there, her long black hair blowing to the side, when he drove up in his buggy and she accepted his offer of a lift back to the house. During his university days in Cambridge, Mass., JULIA TUPLIN arranged to visit a relative in that city so that STEWART and she could meet. From then on it was "only a matter of time" until he proposed to her!

169. Malcolm MacPhail [1579] (Colin Alexander "Sandy"5, Colin4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 10 May 1869 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, was christened on 9 Sep 1869 in DeSable Free Church, Argyle Shore, Lot 29, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, died on 26 Aug 1930 in Calgary, AB, Canada, aged 61, and was buried in Burnside Cemetery, Calgary, AB, Canada. The cause of his death was Injuries sustained in an accident.
Malcolm MacPhail was a farmer in Prince Edward Island and later a teamster in Calgary, Alberta.
In 1891 he was living with his parents in PEI at about age 22. He moved to Calgary between 1901 and 1904, when he was about 33. He worked there for the rest of his life as a teamster and driver for the Commercial Cartage Company, which handled general hauling, specializing in building and plastering sand.
He originally boarded with his employer, A. J. Briggs, at 134 - 13th Avenue West, Calgary. He moved to 1032 Bellevue Avenue by 1912, and to 1041 - 8th Street S.E, always boarding with the same family. Malcolm's brother Goodwill visited him and was there in 1907 and 1909.
Malcolm's brother Archibald also arrived in Calgary in 1911 and two years later he took up apartment 209 in the newly constructed Armour Building at 213 - 4th Street S.E. (later renumbered as 15 - 4th Street N.E.) Malcolm moved in with his brother until Archibald died in 2027. After Archibald's death, Malcolm took up apartment 104 in the same building until he died.
In November 1929, Malcolm was seriously injured in a fall from his team. He died in hospital about nine months later, on 26 August 1930. His obituary associated his death with injuries sustained in the fall.
Malcolm was buried beside his brother in the Burnsland Cemetery in Calgary, Lot 10, Block 5, Section E. No gravestone marks the site. A local historian at the Calgary Library suggested that the local Teamsters' Union or association, known for supporting its members, may have been arranged his funeral and burial, as no family members remained in the area.
Malcolm never married.

- He was still at home at the time of the 1891 Census and received $100 from his father's estate in 1912.
- MALCOLM went to Calgary, Alta sometime in 1901-1904 and appears in the 1905 edition of Henderson's Manitoba & North West Territories Gazetteer and Directory which was compiled in the fall of 1904. He was not in the 1901 or earlier editions. MALCOLM was a teamster/driver for Commercial Cartage Co., a job that he held for the rest of his life. This firm did general hauling as well as specializing in building and plastering sand. In 1904 MALCOLM was living and boarding at 134 - 13th Ave W., Calgary, the home of his employer, A. J. Briggs. In the 1912 Directory he has moved to 1032 Bellevue Ave, and in the 1913 Directory to 1041 - 8th St. SE., still with the Briggs family.
- His brother GOODWILL came west for a short stay and appears in the 1907 & Ô08 Directories. There is a J. McPhail who appears only in the 1910 Directory and is thought to be his nephew JOHN A. (MP1143341) but no specific link was found.
- Brother ARCHIE (MP114338) came to Calgary and first appeared in the 1912 Directory (1911 arrival). MALCOLM is unaccountably missing from the 1914 Directory and reappeared in the 1915 one living with ARCHIE in apartment #209 of the brand new Armour Building at 213 - 4th St. SE (later renumbered as 15 - 4th St. NE). He continued to live there until the 1926 and Ô27 Directories when he is again missing. With ARCHIE's death in the summer of 1927, MALCOLM reappeared and was listed in the 1928 Directory in apartment #104 of the Armour Building, where he remained for the rest of his years.
- In November 1929, MALCOLM was injured in a fall from his team, apparently seriously injured. Nine months later he died in hospital on 26 August 1930. The wording of his obituary associated his passing with the fall. He was buried in Burnsland Cemetery, Calgary beside Archie in Lot 10, Block 5, Section E. No stone marks the gravesite. It was suggested by the Local Historian at the Calgary Library that the local Teamsters' Union or association which was known for taking care of their members, may have had a hand in his funeral and burial arrangements, as no family members remained in the area.
- There was no indication that MALCOLM had ever married.
170. Archibald Alexander MacPhail [1580] (Colin Alexander "Sandy"5, Colin4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 7 Sep 1871 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, was christened on 22 Mar 1872 in DeSable Free Church, Argyle Shore, Lot 29, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, died on 8 Jul 1927 in Calgary, AB, Canada, aged 55, and was buried in Burnside Cemetery, Calgary, AB, Canada.
Archibald Alexander MacPhail was known as "Archie", "Archibald Alexander", and later "Alexander". These variations appear in census records, his father's will, and directories. We will use "Archibald" to simplify the narrative. He was living at home in PEI in 1901 at about age 30.
Under the terms of his father Malcolm's will, written in 1908, Archibald was to receive $500 and a 56-acre property west of the old McNevin farm that had been allocated to his brother Goodwill. It is unlikely that Archibald ever took possession of this land, as he left PEI for Calgary in 1911 to join his brother (also named Malcolm), a year before his father died. In 1928 this parcel of land, bequeathed to Archibald, was registered to Sandy McDougall.
In 1912 Archibald was a bartender at the Empire Hotel on 118 - 9th Avenue East. By 1913 Archibald had taken up Apartment 209 of the newly constructed Armour Building at 213 - 4th Street S.E. (later renumbered 15 - 4th Street N.E.). He lived there until he died. His brother Malcolm moved in with him at the outset and he also and remained there until Archibald died.
In 1912 Archibald was a bartender; in 1913 he was a carpenter; a painter in 1915; a labourer in 1916; and a teamster like his brother Malcolm in 1926. He died in 1927.
He was buried in Lot 10, Block 5, Section E of Burnsland Cemetery, in a plot purchased by his brother Malcolm. Malcolm was laid down to rest beside him three years later.
Archibald never married.

- In some places he is referred to as ARCHIE and in his father's will and in the 1881 Census as ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER and later on as ALEXANDER.
- He was still at home at the time of the 1901 Census. By the will of his father written in 1908, ARCHIE was to get $500 and the 56 acre property west of the old McNevin farm that GOODWILL (MP11433c) was getting. It is unlikely that he ever took possession of this property as he left for Calgary to join brother MALCOLM (MP114337) in 1911. On the 1928 Atlas map of the area, Sandy McDougall is the owner of this property.
- ARCHIE first appears in the 1912 edition of Henderson's Directory of Calgary, and is identified as a bartender working and living at the Empire Hotel at 118 - 9th Ave E. His obituary many years later says that he came on account of his health, but just what was the problem is not known. He is listed in the 1913 Directory as living in apartment #209 of the brand new Armour Building at 213 - 4th St. SE (later renumbered as 15 - 4th St. NE) where he continued to live until his death.
- ARCHIE was a carpenter in 1913, painter in 1915, labourer in 1916, and teamster in 1926 when MALCOLM (MP114337) was missing. In all the other years no occupation was given. He last appears in the 1927 Directory and died 8 July 1927 at Calgary. He was buried in Burnsland Cemetery, Calgary, Lot 10, Block 5, Section E in a plot that had been purchased by MALCOLM.

The cause of his death was Stroke.
Alexander John GOODWILL MacPhail was a farmer in PEI.
Goodwill travelled west to Calgary, Alberta, likely in the summer of 1906, to join his older brother Malcolm. There he worked as a teamster. He boarded with Ralph A. Tanner, his manager, at 330 - 4th Avenue S.E., Calgary. Goodwill returned to PEI about two years after his arrival.
In 1912, when his father Malcolm died, Goodwill inherited the 50-acre property known as the "McNevin farm," extending northward from the shore of the Northumberland Strait, just west of the Bonshaw Road and Argyle Road crossroads. In 1994, 11 years after Goodwill's death, the property was held by Edwin MacPhail.
In their later years, Goodwill and Phemie retired to Crapaud, PEI, where they lived in a seniors' retirement home. After Phemie died, Goodwill lived with Doug and Joan MacPhail until he suffered a stroke in 1973 at age 90 and he moved into a nursing home in Charlottetown. He died there about a year later.

He went west to Calgary, Alberta to join his older brother MALCOLM (MP114337), likely in the summer of 1906 for he appeared in the 1907 Henderson's Directory of Calgary which was compiled in the fall of 1906. In it and the next year's Directory he is identified as a teamster with the Northern Transfer Co. and was boarding with his employer, Ralph A. Tanner, the manager, at 330 - 4th Ave, SE. GOODWILL apparently decided that PEI looked better than the wild west and seems to have returned in 1908 for his name does not appear in the 1909 and subsequent Directories.
Under his father's will, GOODWILL was to get the 50 acre farm identified as the "McNevin farm" which stretched from the shore of the Northumberland Strait northward just west of the Bonshaw Road and Argyle Road crossroads. The 1928 Cummins Atlas map shows him there and in 1994 the property was held by EDWIN MacPHAIL (MP11443144).

Rev. Ewen MacDougall of the Free Church of Scotland; Wilbert MacPhail was the Bondsman.
PHEMIE was born on 9 Feb 1897 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, P.E.I. Euphemia (PHEMIE) Elizabeth was baptized in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI, on 16 Jul 1898. Euphemia (PHEMIE) Elizabeth died in Crapaud, Lot 29, Queen's County, P.E.I., on 19 Mar 1962; she was 65. Buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery. Occupation: Nurse, School Teacher, Housewife. Religion: Free Ch. Of Scot. User ID: MP1144512.
Baptised as Euphemia Eliza McPhail.
- PHEMIE was a school teacher at Rocky Point, Lot 65 and then trained as a Registered Nurse at Summerside, PEI and worked there for a number of years. When first courted by GOODWILL, she turned him down because he was of the same name and she wanted a change of name. He repeated his suit later on and was accepted.
GOODWILL and PHEMIE farmed Argyle Shore and in later years, ANNA RUTH MacPHAIL (MP11443142), daughter of BERT MacPHAIL (MP1144314) and Katie MacPhee lived with them. They retired to Crapaud, PEI and lived in a Seniors Retirement Home. Euphemie died there on the 19th of March 1962. GOODWILL came to live with DOUG and Joan MacPHAIL (MP1144832) after PHEMIE's passing and stayed there until he suffered a stroke at age 90. After a year in a nursing home, he died on the 3rd of November 1974, at Charlottetown, PEI.

On 7 Apr 1934 Phemie married Alexander John Goodwill MacPhail in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, PEI at age 37. When first courted by Goodwill, she declined because he shared her surname and she desired a change of name. He later renewed his suit, which she accepted.

Peter MacKinnon was born on 1 May 1862 in Bonshaw, Prince Edward Island. Although registered in the Prince Edward Island Registry of Births as "Patrick McKinnon," this entry was derived from the baptismal records of Rev. Donald McDonald. He was identified as one of five children of his parents in the Charlottetown birth registry.
By 1881, at age 18\endash 19, Peter was residing in Moncton, New Brunswick, where he remained until his death in 1942. In 1895 he was employed as a teamster. He later became a driver with No. 1 Hose Company of the Moncton Fire Department.

His religious affiliation evolved over time. He was associated with the Free Church of Scotland in 1861, Wesleyan Methodist in 1891, Presbyterian in 1895, and was described as a United Church adherent at the time of his death.
On 30 Nov 1895, Peter married Mary Catherine Furlong in Westmorland County, New Brunswick, at age 33. The couple's children were born before their marriage, suggesting that they married after the birth of their children. This circumstance has led to speculation that Mary may have been Peter's second wife.
There is a suggestion that Mary was Peter's second wife. This speculation is based on the fact that their children were born prior to their marriage, and they were thus not Mary's children. There is no evidence supporting this suggestion.
Peter MacKINNON died on 17 Apr 1942 at his home at 48 Mechanic Street in Moncton at age 79.
Peter and Mary had three children.

241. James ALFRED Smith [1666] (Catherine McPhail5, Donald (Rev.)4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 25 Apr 1848 in Bouctouche, Kent County, NB, Canada and died on 19 May 1880, aged 32.
James Alfred Smith was born on 25 April 1848 in Bouctouche, Kent County, New Brunswick. As a child, he attended school during the year preceding the 1861 census, at which time he was approximately age 13.
By April 1871, at approximately age 22\endash 23, he was recorded under the name Alfred James. His occupation in adulthood was that of a seaman.
He is thought to have remained in the Bouctouche area when his mother and stepfather relocated to Nictaux Falls, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, sometime before 1879. He does not appear in Bouctouche or Nictaux census records in 1881 or 1891, suggesting either migration, omission, or a change in residence not yet identified.
A will dated February 1879 for Eliza Ann Hudson of Annapolis County, Nova Scotia, names an heir, Victoria Smith, wife of Alfred Smith of Sackville, New Brunswick. While the identity of this Alfred Smith cannot be confirmed, the reference may plausibly relate to James Alfred Smith and warrants further investigation.
Alfred's death was reported in both the Charlottetown Examiner and the Saint John Daily Sun on 19 May 1880, stating:
"Capt Alfred Smith of schooner Maria Emma mysteriously disappeared from his vessel which was lying in the stream off Connolly's wharf on Sunday eve. Capt Smith was about 31 years of age and belonged to Buctouche (Kent Co.) NB."
The Saint John Daily Telegraph of 24 June 1880 provides further detail:
"On 19th, the body of Capt Alfred Smith was found in the water at Connolly's wharf, Charlottetown, PEI. He mysteriously disappeared from schooner Maria Emma which was lying in the stream off Connolly's breastwork on Sunday 16th May last when the crew was absent."

From Sarah Campbell:
Minnie Florence Smith - born 25 April 1861, the sixth child of Catherine McPhail and George Smith. She is listed in the 1861 Census of Canada as Mary, not Minnie, but this seems to be an error as Mary does not appear in any other record. Ten-year-old Minnie is listed in the 1871 Census of Canada with her family. On 10 May 1882 Minnie (spinster) married James Pleamon Hicks (bachelor) (1859-1936). At the time of the wedding Minnie was living in Nictaux Falls, NS and James was a farmer living in Digby, NS. The 1891 Census of Canada records Minnie and Pleamon (farmer) in Clements, Annapolis County, NS. In 1892 the Hicks family emigrated to Lynn, Massachusetts, USA. The 1900, 1910, and 1920 US Censuses show James, apparently now known by his first name, at least in official American records, was a blacksmith in Lynn. Minnie died 29 Mar 1934 in Lynn. James's obituary in the 3 Mar 1936 edition of The Boston Globe states he was "an old-time blacksmith in [Lynn] for 25 years until he retired a score of years ago". Minnie and James had four children:
Notes:
There is variation in the husband's given name across sources, appearing as Pleamon, Pleamor, Freeman, and James Pleamon Hicks. "James Pleamon Hicks" has been adopted based on the most recent and complete source.
One source suggests the marriage occurred in 1881 or 1882 without an exact date, while a later source specifies 10 May 1882. The latter date has been used.
Earlier notes suggest Mary Florence Smith may not have relocated to Nova Scotia prior to marriage; however, later sources explicitly state her residence in Nova Scotia at the time of marriage and this interpretation has been adopted.
Mary Florence Smith's death location is given generically in earlier notes, while later sources specify Lynn, Massachusetts. Lynn has been used.
Minnie married James Pleamon Hicks [1949], son of Gilbert Hicks [3904] and Sarah Jane [3905], in 1881 in Nictaux Falls, Annapolis County, NS, Canada. James was born from 1857 to 1858 in Clements, Annapolis County, NS, Canada and died about 1936 in Lynn, MA, USA, aged about 79.

Notes:
There is a discrepancy in Gilbert Franklin Smith's date of death. One source states he died on 24 September 1945 at age 82, while a later source specifies death on 17 September 1944 in Danvers, Massachusetts. The latter has been adopted as authoritative.
Gravestone data reportedly gives dates of 1865\endash 1944, conflicting with multiple records stating a birth date of 6 June 1863. The birth date of 6 June 1863 has been retained based on consistency across census and narrative records.
Occupational descriptions vary across sources, ranging from "government clerk" to various business and manufacturing roles in the United States. These have been consolidated chronologically to reflect career progression rather than contradiction.
Ella Robinson's birth year is given as both 1871 and 1868 in different sources. The later source indicating 1868 has been adopted.
Gilbert married Ella Frances Robinson [1954], daughter of John Robinson [3906] and Isabella Grogan [3907]. Ella was born about 1868 in Nictaux Falls, Annapolis County, NS, Canada and died in 1951 in Nictaux Falls, Annapolis County, NS, Canada, aged about 83.

ACTIVE KEY TO HAPPINESS DURING 67 YEARS OF LIFE TOGETHER - By Dan Tewkesbury, Anacortes newspaper, November 1958
A married couple, who remain happy without the aid of the television, an automatic dishwasher or all-electric appliances, will quietly celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary here next Wednesday. Keeping active is the answer to both a long life and a good marriage say Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smith, 903 3rd St.
Too much time to waste gets married couples in as much trouble as it does youngsters, according to the aged pair who continue to remain independent and happy after 67 years of togetherness.
"And we didn't marry as teenagers, as so many do now," Mrs. Smith observes. She was married at 24, and is now 90. He wed at 26, and is now 93. Their first of four children arrived five years after their marriage. The couple now have seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
"We get along well for old folks," she says. "We are thankful that we can still care for ourselves." BY THIS, she means she still does all the housekeeping and washing. And Smith splits the wood for the stove she cooks on.
He suffered a heart attack six years ago, however he says, "I celebrated my 91st birthday by going up and cleaning the chimneys." "We've lived from day to day, trying to do the best we can," he says, adding, "We always had lots of hard work to do."
The pair recommend a good program of activity after retirement. "I think lots of old people die after they retire simply because they find themselves with nothing to do," he observes.
"We always get up at 6 a.m. except on Mondays, when we get up even earlier" he notes. "Mother likes to get the washing out early on Monday. We're the oldest in the neighborhood, and we have to set a good example for the others."
SMITH, LIKE MOST other Anacortesons, journeyed to the polls Tuesday to cast his ballot; however, he does observe that the blocks are much longer now than they used to be.
The pair came here from Massachusetts (sic) in 1916. He worked for the Morrison Mill in Ferndale and later as outside foreman at the Fidalgo Mill.
He began working on the railroad in Canada at the tender age of seven. His father drowned when he was only one and a half, leaving his mother with eight children, and necessitating work at an early age.
She is from Nova Scotia, and he is from New Brunswick. They were married on Canadian Thanksgiving Day in October (sic) of 1891. Her English parents were named Drew, and he is of Scottish ancestry. HE REMEMBERS laughingly, "My mother would talk Gaelic to the cat and dog for fear she'd forget."
Their children are Mrs. Mildred Clark, secretary of the school superintendent in Seattle, Mrs. Betty Guptill, in Oakland, Calif., and Harold, an immigration inspector in Portland. Their oldest son, George, died here this year.
"The only piece of furniture we still have that we started with is a rolling pin," he says, "and both handles are broken(?) off it now." But apparently this is not the result of family feuding." Neither could remember any spats, and Mrs. Smith observes, "We don't dare now."
And if they had it all to do over, Mrs. Smith says she'd marry him again, explaining: "After all, there aren't many Tom Smiths in the world."

Violet's biological mother was Jane Bowser (1858-1938), daughter of John Bowser Jr (c 1829-1903), farmer, and Flora Ann Morrison (c 1831 -1863). Jane's paternal grandparents, Violet's great-grandparents, were John Bowser Sr (c 1801 -1878) and Sarah Lincoln (1797-1879). John Bowser Sr was justice of the peace for Kent County, New Brunswick and his signature appears frequently on official documents of his era, When Jane was just 5 years old her mother died, 20 Feb 1863. Her father remarried 30 August 1863 to Pamela Ann (Graves) Budd, widow. Rev Donald McPhail, "Baptist minister at Buctouche", father of Malcolm McPhail, future grandfather-in-law of Violet Bowser, officiated at the marriage. The 1871 Census of Canada shows 12-year-old Jane, domestic, living in Wellington Parish, Kent County in the household of widower Donald McCalder along with Donald's 33-year-old daughter Ann, spinster. The 1871 census entry for Donald McCalder's
household is just two away from that of Jane's father John Bowser Jr, so they were near neighbours. The 1881 Census of Canada records Jane still in Donald McCalder's household, no occupation given. By 1891 Donald McCalder has died and the census records for Wellington Parish indicate Jane (age 33) and her daughter Violet (age 1) are living with Donald McCalder's daughter Ann who is now married to Malcolm McPhail. In the 1901 Census Jane is still living in Wellington Parish but now with the household of Anthony McNairn where her occupation is "locataire", tenant. Jane could not be found in either the 1911 or 1921 Canadian censuses, nor in the 1910 or 1920 US censuses. Jane died of "old age" 9 May 1938 in St Francis, Wellington Parish. Her death certificate states she remained unmarried, employed as a housekeeper all her life. The certificate also shows she lived the last 14 years of her life in St Francis. Her daughter Violet is listed as the informant on the death certificate.
Violet was born 20 May 1890 in Wellington Parish. As stated above she is recorded in the home of Donald McCalder in the 1891 Census of Canada. The 1901 census shows Violet, occupation "domestic", living in the home of Malcolm and Ann McPhail. No doubt Violet was a very welcome addition to the McPhail household for Malcolm and Ann McPhail must have suffered unimaginable grief with the deaths of their three daughters, their only children, between 1892 and 1898. Violet would have provided some consolation in their sorrow. In the 1911 census Violet, age 21, is still living with Malcolm and Ann but is recorded as their "adopted" daughter.
On 29 Nov 1917 Violet married Donald John McPhail, nephew of Malcolm and Ann McPhail. Donald was the son of Malcolm's brother John Donald. Violet quite literally married the boy next door. On Violet and Donald's marriage certificate, written at the bottom, under "names of Violet's parents" is the unexplained notation: "does not know names of parents - is an orphan brought up in a McPhail family". This is puzzling as clearly Violet did know her mother's name. The story of Violet and Donald continues on page 73 under Donald's name, fourth son of Malcolm's second youngest brother John Donald McPhail and his wife Florence Rebecca Weldon.

During their married life Mary and Percy lived in Halifax, NS; Yarmouth, NS; and Montreal, PQ. Percy died in Montreal in 1926 and his obituary posted in the Montreal Gazette (22 Apr 1926 edition) states he was educated in Dean Gilpin's College in Halifax. Percy was a lifelong newspaper man working for the Halifax Chronicle, then founding a newspaper in Yarmouth, NS, followed by long stints at the Montreal Star and the Sunday Sun, and finishing as editorial writer and theatrical critic at the Montreal Herald.

Mary Millicent McPhail's religious affiliation appears inconsistently across records. She was baptized Methodist, later identified with the Church of England, and her family context includes multiple Protestant traditions. This is interpreted as denominational variation over time rather than direct conflict.
Percy St. Clair Hamilton's exact date and place of death are not documented. His absence from records after 1895 and his presumed death prior to 1914 are inferred from family and enlistment records.
Mary Millicent McPhail's date and place of death remain unknown, despite references placing her in Montreal as late as 1920.
No burial locations have been confirmed for either Mary or Percy.

From Sarah Campbell
Donald John McPhail - born 18 May 1884, the fifth child of John McPhail and Florence Weldon. On 29 Nov 1917 Donald married Violet Louise Bowser, daughter of Jane Bowser, adopted (or foster) daughter of Malcolm McPhail and Ann McCalder. (See details of Violet under the previous write-up in her name found on page 61.) Donald and Violet lived on neighbouring farms before their marriage. Donald McPhail inherited the family farm on the death of his father John Donald McPhail in 1921. Donald and Violet lived out their lives on the McPhail family homestead. Violet died 8 Jan 1941. Donald died 9 Dec 1975. They are buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, New Brunswick. Donald and Violet had nine children, all born at Dixon Point/St-Francois-de-Kent, Wellington Parish :
Donald married Violet Louise Bowser [1978], daughter of Jane Bowser [3696], on 29 Nov 1817 in Bouctouche, Kent County, NB, Canada. Violet was born on 29 May 1890 in New Brunswick, Canada, died on 8 Jan 1941 in Bouctouche, Kent County, NB, Canada, aged 50, and was buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, NB, Canada.(Other parents: Malcolm McPhail [55] and Ann McCalder [1678].)
Malcolm McPhail and Ann McCalder were married on 6 Apr 1873 in Wellington Parish, Kent County, New Brunswick. The officiating minister was Donald McPhail, Baptist minister at Bouctouche.
Violet Louise Bowser was born on 20 May 1890 in Wellington Parish, New Brunswick.
From infancy, she was raised in the household of Malcolm McPhail and Ann (McCalder) McPhail, initially appearing in the same household as her mother and later recorded as living with Malcolm and Ann. By 1901, she was residing permanently in their home, and by 1911 she was explicitly recorded as their adopted daughter.
By 1901, at age 10\endash 11, she was working as a domestic in the McPhail household.
On 29 Nov 1917, Violet married Donald John MacPhail in St Francis, Buctouche, Kent County, New Brunswick, at age 27.
Violet Louise Bowser died on 8 Jan 1941 in Buctouche, Kent County, New Brunswick, age 50.
Violet and Donald had nine children.
Violet had one parent known to her, her mother. Her biological father is unknown.
Source:From Sarah Campbell:
Violet Louise Bowser - foster daughter of Malcolm and Ann (McCalder) McPhail. Violet's biological father is not noted in any records. Violet's biological mother was Jane Bowser (1858-1938), daughter of John Bowser Jr (c 1829-1903), farmer, and Flora Ann Morrison (c 1831 -1863). Jane's paternal grandparents, Violet's great-grandparents, were John Bowser Sr (c 1801 -1878) and Sarah Lincoln (1797-1879). John Bowser Sr was justice of the peace for Kent County, New Brunswick and his signature appears frequently on official documents of his era, When Jane was just 5 years old her mother died, 20 Feb 1863. Her father remarried 30 August 1863 to Pamela Ann (Graves) Budd, widow. Rev Donald McPhail, "Baptist minister at Buctouche", father of Malcolm McPhail, future grandfather-in-law of Violet Bowser, officiated at the marriage. The 1871 Census of Canada shows 12-year-old Jane, domestic, living in Wellington Parish, Kent County in the household of widower Donald McCalder along with Donald's 33-year-old daughter Ann, spinster. The 1871 census entry for Donald McCalder's
household is just two away from that of Jane's father John Bowser Jr, so they were near neighbours. The 1881 Census of Canada records Jane still in Donald McCalder's household, no occupation given. By 1891 Donald McCalder has died and the census records for Wellington Parish indicate Jane (age 33) and her daughter Violet (age 1) are living with Donald McCalder's daughter Ann who is now married to Malcolm McPhail. In the 1901 Census Jane is still living in Wellington Parish but now with the household of Anthony McNairn where her occupation is "locataire", tenant. Jane could not be found in either the 1911 or 1921 Canadian censuses, nor in the 1910 or 1920 US censuses. Jane died of "old age" 9 May 1938 in St Francis, Wellington Parish. Her death certificate states she remained unmarried, employed as a housekeeper all her life. The certificate also shows she lived the last 14 years of her life in St Francis. Her daughter Violet is listed as the informant on the death certificate.
Violet was born 20 May 1890 in Wellington Parish. As stated above she is recorded in the home of Donald McCalder in the 1891 Census of Canada. The 1901 census shows Violet, occupation "domestic", living in the home of Malcolm and Ann McPhail. No doubt Violet was a very welcome addition to the McPhail household for Malcolm and Ann McPhail must have suffered unimaginable grief with the deaths of their three daughters, their only children, between 1892 and 1898. Violet would have provided some consolation in their sorrow. In the 1911 census Violet, age 21, is still living with Malcolm and Ann but is recorded as their "adopted" daughter.
On 29 Nov 1917 Violet married Donald John McPhail, nephew of Malcolm and Ann McPhail. Donald was the son of Malcolm's brother John Donald. Violet quite literally married the boy next door. On Violet and Donald's marriage certificate, written at the bottom, under "names of Violet's parents" is the unexplained notation: "does not know names of parents - is an orphan brought up in a McPhail family". This is puzzling as clearly Violet did know her mother's name. The story of Violet and Donald continues on page 73 under Donald's name, fourth son of Malcolm's second youngest brother John Donald McPhail and his wife Florence Rebecca Weldon.

Colin MacPhail - born 9 Nov 1891, the ninth child of John McPhail and Florence Weldon. Colin signed his name "MacPhail" rather than "McPhail". He is listed in the 1901 Canadian Census living with his parents, siblings, and aunt Mary McPhail (1832-1911) in Wellington Parish, New Brunswick. The 1916 Census of the Prairie Provinces shows Colin living in Winnipeg, Manitoba employed as a librarian, rooming with his brother James. The census also notes Colin immigrated to Canada in 1910, but nothing more was found to explain this data. Colin signed up for service in the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force on 26 Apr 1918 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, regimental #2765270. Colin's Attestation Paper describes him as 5' 7" tall with a ruddy complexion, black hair, and grey eyes. His unit was 1st Tank Battalion, Canadian Machine Gun Corps.

He was usually called Harry.
Thomas Henry MacPhail was born on 19 Jan 1885. Several sources indicate he was born in Alberton, Lot 4, Prince County, PEI. This birth place is highly suspicious, as there is no record of his parents, Alexander Bede McPhail and Annie Isabelle McNeil ever travelling to PEI. For that reason, I record his birth place as Bouctouche, NB, although it could have been Havelock (Butternut Ridge). Some time between 1881 and 1891 his parents moved from Bouctouche to Havelock.
He went by the name of Harry. He was affiliated with the Methodist Church by 1901.
In 1891, when Harry was age about six, he was living with his parents and siblings in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick. In 1901, at age about 16, he was again living with his family in Havelock.

On 31 May 1910, Harry married Blanche Hardy in New Glasgow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Harry was age 25 at the time and working as a cheese manufacturer.
For several years Harry owned a cheese factory in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Later he owned and operated a meat business in Moncton, New Brunswick and in New Glasgow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.

James Currie MacPhail - born about 2 June 1886 in Alberton, Lot 4, Prince County, PEI, the second child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. He is believed to be the fourth in this lineage to
have the name "James Currie", after his uncle, his great-uncle, and great-grandfather. He went by his second name, "Currie". His family moved briefly to Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick but in the Census of Canada for both 1891 and 1901 he and his family are living in Butternut Ridge (Havelock), Kings County, New Brunswick.

On 8 Apr 1910 Currie married Alice B Henry (1885-1963), daughter of Edward Henry and Alice Barr, in Boston, Massachusetts. In the marriage record Currie's occupation is listed As "harness maker", following in his father's footsteps. The 1910 US Census shows Currie and Alice as lodgers in the household of Alice's mother, Alice (Barr) Henry, at Academy Street, Rochester, Strafford County, New Hampshire and Currie's occupation is harness maker. In the 1920 US Census Currie, Alice, and their two children are living in Portland, Maine where he is employed as a commercial salesman for a rubber company.

He is a twin to the unnamed female child born 25 Feb 1888 at Richibucto, NB in the Vital Stats Registry of Births. By the 1901 Census at Havelock, Kings Co., NB he was born on 27 Feb. 1888.
From Sarah Campbell
Nathaniel Edgar McPhail - born 23 Feb 1888 in Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick, the third child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. He went by his middle name "Edgar". Some confusion exists regarding Edgar's birth record. He is listed as unnamed and his sex is entered as "girl", leading to the belief that he may have had a twin sister. Since no other birth record exists for Edgar, I conclude that Alex and Annie delayed naming Edgar until after the birth record was written and that the record keeper entered his sex as female in error. Edgar may have been named "Nathaniel" after Annie's youngest brother Nathaniel Pine and/or his great-grandfather, also named Nathaniel Pine. In the Canadian censuses for 1891 and 1901 Edgar is shown living with his family in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick. In 1906 Edgar immigrated to the United States and on 5 June 1908 at age 20 he married Florence Young Blethen in Strong, Franklin County, Maine. Florence, born 5 Nov 1888, was the adopted daughter of William and Sarah Blethen. At the time of their marriage Edgar was a mill worker and Florence was a dressmaker. The 1910 United States Census shows Edgar, Florence, and their first child living with Florence's parents in Strong; Edgar's occupation is labourer in a toothpick mill. On 1 May 1918 Edgar signed his US World War I Draft Registration Card which states he was of medium height and build with brown eyes and auburn hair. The 1920 US Census lists Edgar, Florence, and their two children in Strong, with mortgaged home; Edgar's occupation is superintendent of a corn mill. Between 1920 and 1930 Edgar and Florence divorced. The 1930 US Census shows Edgar, divorced, with his two children and Bertha Douglas, 51-year-old servant, living in Strong where Edgar is superintendent of a canning factory. Their home is rented. Edgar's ex-wife Florence died 2 Nov 1932 in Strong. In the 1940 US Census Edgar is listed as "widowed". He is a lodger in Strong, employed as a mill worker in a novelty mill. Both his children have left home. Edgar died in 12 June 1965 (age 77) in Farmington, Franklin County, Maine. Although they were divorced, Edgar is buried with his ex-wife Florence in the Strong Village Cemetery.
Edgar was one of my father's favourite uncles. Although it is over 56 years since Edgar passed away, I still remember my Dad's grief when he learned of Uncle Edgar's death.

Name is Sarah Stewart McPhail on Birth Registration. She appears in the 1901 census of Havelock, King's Co., NB.
From Sarah Campbell
SARAH STEWART MACPHAIL was born 10 Mar 1892 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick, the fifth child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. Sarah was my grandmother, and I am her name sake. In her younger years she went by "Sadie". Her grandchildren called her "Grammy". She told me she was named by her father after his sister, Sarah (McPhail) Stewart (cl845-1892), who died within a few days of his daughter's birth. [Details of Sarah (McPhail) Stewart are on page 70 ] Nine-year-old Sarah shows in the J 90 J Census of Canada with her parents and eight of her siblings living in Havelock, NB. In about 1904, at age 12, she moved with her family to Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Listed as "Sadie" in the 1911 Census of Canada, she and her elder sister Kate are boarding at Mrs. James Osborne's, 67 Sewell Street, Saint John, New Brunswick. Both Sadie and Kate are employed as furriers with the fur firm Dunlop Cook.
By 1915 Sarah was working at the Union Boot and Shoe Store, Church Street, Amherst where she told me she met her future husband. On 3 Nov 1915 Sadie McPhail, spinster, married GEORGE ROBINSON WATT (born 7 Feb 1887 in Springhill, NS), bachelor, youngest son of George Watt and Janet Irvin Conn, at the Baptist Parsonage in Amherst. Witnesses to the ceremony were Sarah's two siblings closest in age to her: Catherine "Kate" McPhail and Donald McPhail. At the time of marriage George was a locomotive fireman, living in Moncton, New Brunswick. The 1921 Census of Canada lists Sarah and George living at 102 Church Street, Moncton where their two sons were born. The census record shows George is now a locomotive engineer. Later the Watt family moved to Brookville, just outside Saint John, where their two daughters were born. My grandparents continued
to live in that same home until 1968.
I loved visiting my grandparents' home in Brookville. Oddly, I considered the house was hers, a neat and tidy realm, while the yard belonged to Grampy, his meticulously kept domain. The house was one-and-a- half story with a deep veranda and a central front door. Stepping inside you entered the large open-plan living and dining room. The first thing you noticed was Grammy's oak desk, the same desk that is now the focal point in my living room. Grammy loved to play Canasta, a love she passed on to her grandchildren. I remember spending hours with her at the game. We'd sit in her
dining room at her oak table, the two Sarahs, our fists full of cards, happily strategizing. I seldom won. And woe betide Grammy if she tried to manoeuvre the cards to my advantage. "No cheating, Grammy!" She was just being kind, but I was either going to win fairly or not at all.
It always seemed to be foggy in Brookville. To many people that would be dreary but I found it fascinating. Grampy's yard had a mystical atmosphere, and the woods behind their house were secretive and silent in the mist. I remember wading ankle-deep through blue violets as I followed the trail through the woods to Drury Cove, a community on the Kennebecasis River. You entered another world when you stepped from the woods. With its brightly coloured houses and loud, boisterous people, Drury Cove was a world away from my grandparents' home.
In tracing my grandparents' path through life my research led me to various archives and record offices. At Kent County Land Registry in Richibucto, NB, while searching for something else, I stumbled across an amazing indenture concerning my grandfather. This indenture was in Grampy's name only, not Grammy's, perhaps because she was not available for signing of documents. Dated 5 August 1922 the indenture describes the purchase by George Watt of the following land: "ALL that certain lot piece or parcel of land and premises situate at Saint Francis in the Parish of Wellington in the County of Kent and Province of New Brunswick, and more particularly bounded and described as follows: northerly and easterly by the Shore of the Bouctouche Bay; southerly by the Main Road leading from Cocagne to Bouctouche; and westerly by lands in the possession and occupation of Donald McPhail containing in the said described lot of land four (4) acres more or less". [Grantor 1917-06 to 1930-04, R3-245, # 46962] The vendors were Malcolm and his wife Annie (McCalder) McPhail, Grammy's aunt and uncle. [Details of Malcolm and Annie (McCalder) McPhail are on page 60 ] To the immediate west of Grampy's lot was the McPhail family homestead originally owned by Rev Donald and Mary (Currie) McPhail, in 1922 in the possession of their grandson Donald John McPhail, Grammy's first cousin. This land purchase transaction astonished me because Grammy never spoke of Bouctouche in her reminiscences and as far as I know my grandparents never moved there. Regrettably I ran out of time during that Registry Office visit to follow up on the history of the land and COVID later prevented me from returning to complete the search. How different our family history would have been if my grandparents had lived in Bouctouche instead of Brookville. Oh, how the road not taken "has made all the difference"! Missed opportunities. Bouctouche is such a spectacularly beautiful place. My grandparents' descendants might have been fluent in French. Best of all, just think of all the wonderful cousins we would have known.
Looking back on my grandmother's life it only now occurs to me that she must have been rather lonely in her later years in Brookville. Grammy was a very sociable person while Grampy was reserved and private. All four of their children eventually moved to Nova Scotia, back then at least a seven-hour drive from Brookville in contrast to just a three-hour drive today. To my knowledge my grandparents had no close relatives living in or near Brookville. Grammy loved a good chat and her social circle consisted of her dear friend Jean Anderson, neighbours, friends, and the UCW Brookville group.
With failing health, Sarah and George moved to Truro, NS in 1968 where their sons were living, with their daughters close by in the Halifax area. My grandparents lived in an apartment at 58 King Street, Truro until Grampy's death. He died 23 May 1974. By that time Grammy's health had declined to the point where she was unable to live on her own so she moved to a local nursing home. She died on Christmas Eve, 24 Dec 1985. My grandparents are buried in the Robie St Cemetery in Truro.
Sarah and George had four children:

Death Notes: Photocopy of N.B. Late Birth Registration Certificate No. MCP-304 (?)provided by Francis Harding:
Born in Havelock of Kings County, N.B. on Feb 19, 1903 of Alexander McPhail and Annie Isabella McNeill, attending physician Dr. E. Thorne,so declared by Thomas Henry McPhail on July 7, 1947.
Donald McPhail was born on 3 May 1894 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick. His religion was Methodist in 1901.
He grew up in Havelock. By 1911 Donald was living with his family at 9 Mill Street in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, where he worked as a salesman.
On 19 Mar 1918, at age 23, Donald enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, Regimental No. 3182093, 1st Depot Battalion, Nova Scotia Regiment. At that time he was living with his parents at 85 Lower Victoria Street in Amherst and was employed as manager of a retail boot and shoe store.
By 1921 Donald was living at 86 Queen Street in Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, where he worked as a YMCA secretary.
On 12 Dec 1923 Donald married Ruby Isabella Sutherland in Hansford, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Donald was age 29.
Donald worked with the YMCA in Amherst and Truro before being appointed General Secretary of the Halifax YMCA in 1929. In 1939 he became Director of YMCA War Services for the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland. After the Second World War he served as Secretary of the Maritime Religious Educational Council.
In 1946 Donald joined Mutual Life of Canada and later operated an independent insurance business in Sackville, Westmorland County, New Brunswick until his retirement.
Donald was also a well-known tenor soloist and founded and directed several men's choral groups, including the Orpheus Male Choir in Halifax from 1937 to 1941.
Ruby Isabella Sutherland died on 1 Apr 1975 when Donald was age 80.
Donald McPhail died on 23 Apr 1986 in Sackville, Westmorland County, New Brunswick, age 91.
Donald and Ruby had three children.
Source:From Alex McPhail:
In 1918 Donald left his job as a shoe store manager in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. He approached the barracks in Amherst and asked what service he might provide to the Canadian Army. The Canadian Government had just passed the Military Service Act, which compelled able bodied men of young age to report for duty in support of WW I. Donald was a conscientious objector - he supported the war against the Germans, but he himself refused to kill. He decided to take the initiative, and not wait for conscription to find him, so he appeared voluntarily at the barracks.
The first thing the army did was quarantine Donald for two months. There were two outbreaks at that time among the general population - influenza and spinal meningitis. Transmitting either of those diseases into the theatre of military operations could be catastrophic to the war effort, so all men were quarantined for at least two months to ensure they did not carry the diseases.
Once out of quarantine, he fell under the command of Major Heard, who had been wounded in battle, and had returned to Canada to manage training programs for troops assembling to go overseas. Donald assisted in the development and implementation of these training programs. While there, Donald encountered a man who worked for the YMCA. Donald had never heard of the YMCA. He understood this man was responsible for running a training program that reintegrated soldiers back into their homelife upon return to Canada. Donald worked peripherally with the "Y" man, but his primary focus was on preparing new soldiers for battle.
In March of 1918, Donald became aware of a large contingent of Canadian troops that would soon ship out to the Land Force Atlantic Area Training Centre in Aldershot, Kings County, Nova Scotia. It was a staging and training area before troops went overseas. Donald spoke with his Commanding Officer and asked to be deployed with the troops to Aldershot. The C.O. agreed, however regulations required Donald to enlist in the army. On March 19, 1918, Donald was formally recruited into the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, Regimental No. 3182093, 1st Depot Battalion, Nova Scotia Regiment. His attestation papers list his residence at 85 Lower Victoria Street, Amherst, where he lived with his parents, and his occupation as manager of a retail boot and shoe store. He was described as 5 feet 6½ inches tall, with a dark complexion, brown eyes, and black hair.
At the age of 24, Donald went to Aldershot where he was put in charge of non-commissioned officer training. Technically, once in Aldershot, a soldier was recorded as being deployed overseas. The Canadian army took this measure so that, when it shipped troops out to Europe, often suddenly, the administrative task of declaring hundreds of men as being active overseas was already done. So, when Donald went to Aldershot, he was formally registered in the Canadian Army as an enlisted soldier deployed overseas. Ironically, although Donald himself would not fight, he trained infantry soldiers there in the use of guns and bayonets.
While he was in Aldershot, the Armistice was signed in November 1918, and Donald was honourably discharged from the army. He remained friends with many of the men he met there, including Major Heard, who died in Truro, Nova Scotia in 1973 at the age of 92. Donald also became good friends with James Ralston, who later became the Minister of Defence in William Lyon Mackenzie King's Cabinet. Donald last saw James Ralston in 1945 in the restaurant of the Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa, Canada. Ralston died three years later in Montreal.
In Aldershot, Don's reputation as a tenor soloist became well known. He was frequently invited to sing with the regiment choir. He also sang as a guest soloist at community choirs in Kentville, the town close to the Aldershot base.
After Donald left the army, he learned more about the YMCA's soldier reintegration programs. The 1921 Census of Canada records Donald lodging with Millicent Archibald at 86 Queen Street, Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. His occupation is listed as YMCA secretary. He married Ruby two years after that census recording.
Donald was the General Secretary of the YMCA in Halifax until March 1940. He, Ruby, and his chidlren moved houses three times while in Halifax. When WW II broke out in 1939, Donald was reassigned to the YMCA General Area Supervisor for the Atlantic Provinces. Donald travelled throughout the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland and Labrador. He moved his family to Amherst, Nova Scotia, as it was more geographically centered in his region of responsibility.
As Director of War Services for the YMCA, Donald oversaw the program that provided assistance to service men who were returning from the war. He was continually travelling throughout the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland and Labrador. Donald purchased a car, and taught himself to drive, which he did frequently in his job. He typically left Amherst early on a Sunday night, or on a Monday morning, and returned late in the week, often not until Saturday.
As the end of the war drew closer, Donald was thinking about going into business for himself. The YMCA pleaded with him to stay on, so in 1945 he agreed to remain one more year as the secretary of the Maritime Religious Education Council. The council ran camps and support programs for youth and adults throughout the Atlantic Provinces.
Donald left the YMCA in May 1946. He and Ruby and moved to Sackville, New Brunswick, where he took up a job selling insurance for the Mutual Life Insurance company. They purchased a home on Weldon Street, formerly owned by Mr. Cale, a dry goods merchant. In 1948 they sold the house and moved into the Vander's Apartment on Weldon Street.
Some time in the early 1950's they purchased a summer home in Mount Whatley, just outside Aulac, New Brunswick. The summer home was only 10 Km (6 miles) from Sackville, which let Donald and Ruby shuttle between the two homes easily. Mount Whatley became a favourite spot for Donald and Ruby's many grandchildren. They sold the Mount Whatley home about 1965 and purchased their retirement bungalow on 19 Squire Street in Sackville. Squire Street was one street over from Weldon Street.
Ruby died in 1975 in the Squire Street home. Soon after, Donald became too frail to keep up the home. He sold the house and entered the Drew Nursing Home in Sackville. He lived there until he died in 1986.
Donald loved music. He founded and directed the Orpheus Male Choir in Halifax from 1937 to 1941. This choir toured throughout the Nova Scotia. Music remained a part of his life. In his sunset years, when Donald was a resident of the Drew Nursing Home, he could often be heard singing and old favourite.
He was also an accomplished storyteller. On November 8, 1978, Donald wrote to then sitting Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. In his letter, Donald recounted a true story about a successful businessman, E. G. McColough, who had become friends with Donald over the years. They met for the last time by happenstance on The Ocean Limited - the train that then ran between Montreal and Halifax. During the overnight train ride, Don sat with his friend. It became obvious McColough was deeply troubled over something. McColough somberly explained that he and his wife were returning from Montreal where they had medical appointments, and while in Montreal, both he and his wife were diagnosed with separate terminal illnesses. In his political career, McColough had become President of the Colchester County Liberal Party. That night on the train, he told Donald that, in the heat of the election, he and his candidate would often say unkind things about the opponents.
Facing his own mortality, McColough confessed to Donald that his greatest regret was those unkind words. He wished, in his final days, he could take them back, but he knew that was impossible. Later Donald learned both McColough and his wife passed away within weeks of that fateful train ride.
After the McColoughs' passing, Donald reflected on a quote he had read by the poet Will Carleton: "Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds; You can't do that way when you're flying words." Donald committed this story to the letter he sent to Prime Minister Trudeau. In his letter, he commended Mr. Trudeau for his poise and dignity in the face of an unruly opposition and media, and he praised Mr. Trudeau for artfully responding to the opposition's rude remarks with "courage and worthy language." Donald's letter went on to declare that Mr. Trudeau was "the only gentlemen in that picture."
Donald asked Mr. Trudeau's permission to dedicate the story of E. G. McColough to him.
Prime Minister Trudeau replied in person in a letter dated November 29, 1978. Mr. Trudeau thanked Donald for his letter, and for his understanding of the tribulations a politician faces every day. Mr. Trudeau said he would be honoured to accept Donald's dedication of the story to him. The hand-signed letter was typewritten on the official letterhead of the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada.
The recounting of E. G. McColough's demise and other true stories are captured in a privately published book entitled "Boys Flying Kites and Other Cautionary Tales" by Donald McPhail.

From Sarah Campbell
Donald McPhail - born 3 May 1894 (on his father's 44th birthday) in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick, the sixth child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. No doubt he was named for his paternal grandfather. The 1901 Census of Canada records Donald living with his parents and siblings in Havelock. In an undated booklet written by Donald McPhail, Boys Flying Kites and Other Cautionary Tales, Donald tells a few stories of his youth in Havelock that clearly show his reflective, kind, and gentle character. Here is a favourite excerpt, reprinted with permission from Donald's granddaughter Jennifer (Fulton) Horton:
"Havelock was all ridges and spines of hills - Springhill Ridge, Salem Ridge, Upper Ridge,
Lower Ridge ... and Butternut Ridge, because there were butternut trees with nuts the size of walnuts. Mother told us that if only we were patient enough to bury the nuts, they would come sweet and lovely. But we couldn't be patient and never would leave them. So instead, we would pick berries, strawberries, just inside the fence of the graveyard across from the Methodist Church. Well, we were always careful not to make too much noise there, because just inside the fence there's a tombstone, I've forgotten whose, that says 'I am not dead but sleeping here ..." In the 1911 census Donald was living with his family at 9 Mill St, Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, occupation salesman. Donald was recruited for military service 19 Mar 1918, Regimental # 3182093, 1st Depot Battalion, Nova Scotia Regiment. His WWI Canadian Expeditionary Forces Attestation Paper shows him living with his parents at 85 Lower Victoria St, Amherst, employed as manager of a retail boot and shoe store. The military record describes Donald as 5 ft 6 'A inches tall with dark complexion, brown eyes, and black hair. The J921 Census
of Canada lists Donald lodging with Millicent Archibald at 86 Queen St, Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia and his occupation is YMCA secretary. On 12 Dec 1923 in Hansford, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Donald married Ruby Isabella Sutherland, (born 12 Feb 1894 in Hansford) daughter of Alvin Sutherland and Ida Harkness, of Oxford. Donald's career life is outlined in his obituary found in The Chronicle-Herald, 25 April 1986 edition: Donald "was associated with the YMCA in Amherst and Truro before being appointed general secretary for the Halifax YMCA in 1929. In 1939 he was director of YMCA War Services in the Maritimes and Newfoundland. After the Second World War, he was appointed secretary of the Maritime Religious Educational Council. He joined Mutual Life of Canada in 1946 and operated an independent insurance company in Sackville, NB until his retirement. He was a well-known tenor soloist. He was a founder
and director of several men's choral groups including the Orpheus Male Choir, Halifax, active from 193 7 to 1941". Ruby died 1 Apr 1975 and Donald died 23 Apr 1986, both in Sackville, NB. They had 3 children:
Donald married Ruby Isabella Sutherland [11], daughter of Alvin Albert Sutherland [377] and Ida Harkness [378], on 12 Dec 1923 in Oxford, Cumberland County, NS, Canada. Marriage status: married. Ruby was born on 12 Feb 1894 in Hansford, Cumberland County, NS, Canada and died on 1 Apr 1975 in Sackville, Westmorland County, NB, Canada, aged 81. The cause of her death was Ovarian cancer.
Ruby Isabella Sutherland was born on 12 Feb 1894 in Southhampton, Nova Scotia, the daughter of Alvin Sutherland and Ida Harkness.
On 12 Dec 1923, at age 29, she married Donald McPhail in Truro, Nova Scotia.

On 21 May 1918 , at age about 23, Norman enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. At the time of enlistment he was living with his mother at 85 Victoria Street West in Amherst, Nova Scotia and working as a telegraph operator. He was described as 5 feet 6 inches tall with a fresh complexion, hazel eyes, and brown hair.
By 1921, at about age 26, Norman was living in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick and working as a telegraph operator. During the 1940s the demand for telegraph services declined as telephone, teletype, and radio communication expanded.
From 1945 to 1948 Norman worked as a commercial traveller with Vincent Brokerage.

From Sarah Campbell
Norman Augustine McNeil McPhail - born 29 Dec 1895 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick, the seventh child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. "McNeil" came from his mother's maiden name. In the 1901 Census of Canada Norman is shown living with his family in Havelock. At the time of the 1911 census, at age 15, he is living with his parents and some of his siblings in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia and is employed as a messenger boy for CPR. Norman's World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force Attestation Paper which he signed 21 May 1918 describes Norman as 5' 6" tall, with a fresh complexion, hazel eyes, and brown hair. He is a telegraph operator, Baptist, living with his mother at 85 Victoria St W, Amherst, NS. The 1921 Census of Canada shows Norman residing in Brookville, Saint John County, NB employed as a telegraph operator. The record states he is married, an error, and no marriage record was found. Living with him are his mother Annie McPhail and his youngest sister Margaret McPhail. In the 1940s Norman's occupation was affected by the decreased use of the telegraph as telephone, teletype, and radio began to take over. From 1945 to 1948 Norman was a commercial traveller with Vincent Brokerage. He never married. Norman died 29 Apr 1948 (age 52) in Moncton, Westmorland County, NB. Cause of death was "carcinoma of lung". I came across an article in The Truro Daily News (5 May 1948 edition) that stated "Mr. and Mrs. A G MacPhail, ... accompanied by their nephew Robert Watt [my father] left Thursday night for Moncton, NB having been called there by the sudden death of Mr. MacPhail's brother Norman MacPhail". With Norman's passing the McPhail family suffered three deaths within seven months: Norman Alfred Black, Kate (McPhail) Black, and Norman AM McPhail. Norman is buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, Kent County, NB.

296. Colin "Kruger" Campbell McPhail [43] (Alexander "Alex" Bede5, Donald (Rev.)4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 7 Mar 1898 in Havelock, King's County, NB, Canada, died on 10 Jun 1969 in Scotia Nursing Homes, Beaverbank, Halifax County, NS, Canada, aged 71, and was buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, NB, Canada. The cause of his death was Myocardial infarction. He was usually called Kruger.
Death Notes: Died in a mental hospital in Dartmouth.
Colin Campbell McPhail was born on 7 Mar 1897 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick. He went by the name "Kruger" for reasons unknown. The term "Kruger" in Low Saxon German means tavern-keeper - it is not known if that fact bears any relevance in his name.
In 1901 Kruger was living with his family in Havelock. By 1911 he was living with his parents and siblings in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.
Kruger signed his World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force Attestation Paper on 1 May 1918 at the age of about 20. The document describes him as 5 feet 3½ inches tall, with a dark complexion, brownish eyes, and brown hair. At that time, he was single, Baptist, employed as a telegraph operator, and living on Forbes Street in New Glasgow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. His residence was near that of his eldest brother, Harry.
In November 1929 Kruger lived in Torryburn, New Brunswick, approximately two kilometres from Brookville, where his sister Sarah (MacPhail) Watt was then living. This was also his father's place of residence at the time of Alex McPhail's death in 1925.
On 4 Sep 1930 Kruger married Gwendoline Isabell Bishop in Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. Kruger was about age 33.
In 1933, Kruger was admitted to the Nova Scotia Hospital, a psychiatric institution in Dartmouth, Halifax County, Nova Scotia, where he remained under continuous care for the rest of his life. In the early years, when government funding for institutional care was limited, his youngest brother, A. Gordon McPhail, provided financial support for his maintenance and welfare.
In early 1969, Kruger was transferred to Scotia Nursing Homes in Beaverbank.
Colin Campbell McPhail died on 10 Jun 1969 in Beaverbank, Halifax County, Nova Scotia at age 72 of myocardial infarction.
Kruger and Gwendoline had one son who died in infancy.

Colin Campbell McPhail - born 7 Mar 1897 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick, the eighth child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. He was nicknamed "Kruger", reason unknown, though "Kruger" in Low Saxon German means tavern-keeper. In the 1901 Census of Canada Colin is shown with his family in Havelock. The 1911 Census of Canada lists him with his family living in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Colin's World War I Canadian Expeditionary Force Attestation Paper which he signed 1 May 1918 describes him as 5' 3 'A" tall, with a dark complexion, brownish eyes, and brown hair. He is a telegraph operator, single, Baptist, living at Forbes Street, New Glasgow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Colin's home at that time was near the residence of his eldest brother, Harry. While no trace of Colin could be found in either the 1920 US Census or in the 1921 Census of Canada, he was located again in US, Records of Aliens Pre-Examined in Canada dated Nov 1929 listing his last address as Torryburn, New Brunswick. Torryburn is just 2 km down the road from Brookville where Colin's sister Sarah (MacPhail) Watt was then living. Also Torryburn was his father's place of residence at the time of Alex's death in 1925.
On 4 Sept 1930 in Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia Colin, bachelor, telegraph operator, of 90 Walker Street, Truro married Gwendoline Isabell Bishop, born 1903, spinster, registered nurse, of 579 Prince Street, Truro. [Both houses where they resided have since been torn down, so long ago I fail to remember them.] On 27 Apr 1932 in Halifax, Nova Scotia an unnamed son was born to Colin and Gwendoline. The baby only lived 2 hours, dying of shock from his mother's prolonged labour. He is buried in Camp Hill Cemetery, Halifax.
In 1933 Colin was admitted to the Nova Scotia Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Dartmouth,
Halifax County, Nova Scotia. He was under continuous care for the rest of his life. In the early years when government financial provision for institutional care was limited, Colin's youngest brother, A Gordon McPhail, provided funds for Colin's maintenance and welfare. Family tradition suggests Colin suffered brain damage as a result of syphilis contracted during World War I but this could not be confirmed. Donald McPhail, son of Colin's brother Donald, passed on to me copies of papers he had in his possession, received from his father Donald who was Colin's legal guardian. The information describes Colin as "always kind, pleasant, and cooperative" and highly regarded by staff. The documents also say that Colin was afflicted with Parkinson's Disease. In early 1969 Colin was transferred to Scotia Nursing Homes in Beaverbank, Halifax County, Nova Scotia where he died 10 June 1969 (age 72). Cause of death was myocardial infraction. Colin is buried in Hillside Baptist Cemetery, McKees Mills, New Brunswick. Three months after Colin's death his widow Gwendoline married for a second time, to George Lemuel Andrews Marshall on 19 Sept 1969. Gwendoline died 19 Nov 1971 in Truro.

John Collins reports Colin Campbell McPhail's birth date as 20 Mar 1898.
Sarah Campbell reports his birth date as 7 Mar 1897.
John Collins indicates that Colin appears to have remained single, while Sarah Campbell documents a marriage to Gwendoline Isabell Bishop in 1930.
Kruger married Gwendoline Isobelle Bishop [3832] on 4 Sep 1930 in Truro, Colchester County, NS, Canada. Gwendoline was born in 1903 and died on 19 Nov 1971 in Truro, Colchester County, NS, Canada, aged 68.
Gwendoline Isabell Bishop was born in 1903.
On 4 Sep 1930 Gwendoline married Colin Campbell McPhail in Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. Gwendoline was about age 27. At the time of the marriage she was a registered nurse living at 579 Prince Street in Truro.
On 27 Apr 1932, when she was about age 29, Gwendoline gave birth to a son in Halifax, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. The child died about 2 hours after birth following complications from prolonged labour.
In 1933, when Gwendoline was about age 30, Colin was hospitalized and remained in institutional care for the rest of his life.
Colin Campbell McPhail died on 10 Jun 1969 when Gwendoline was about age 66.

Margaret "Peg" Jean McPhail [44] (Alexander "Alex" Bede5, Donald (Rev.)4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 6 Oct 1900 in Havelock, King's County, NB, Canada, died on 29 Mar 1991 in Drew Nursing Home, Sackville, Westmorland County, NB, Canada, aged 90, and was buried in Robie Street Cemetery, Truro, NS, Canada. Another name for Peg was Peg McPhail. She was usually called Peg.
Margaret Maggie Jean McPhail was born on 6 Oct 1900 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick. She went by the name of Peg.
On 12 Apr 1901 Peg was living with her family in Havelock at age 6 months. By 1911 Peg was living with her parents and several brothers at 9 Mill Street in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia at age about 10.
On 1 Jun 1921 Peg was living in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick with her brother Norman and her mother Annie at age about 20.

From Sarah Campbell
Margaret Jean "Peg" McPhail - born 6 Oct 1900 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick, the ninth child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. I am one of her namesakes with my middle name "Margaret". She was called "Peg" in adulthood, "Auntie Peg" by her grand-nieces and -nephews. She appears as "Maggie" with her family in Havelock in the 1901 Census of Canada. In the 1911 Census of Canada she is listed as "Margaret" living with her parents and four of her brothers in Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia at 9 Mill Street, a house that is no longer standing. In the next census of 1921 Peg is found in Brookville, Saint John County, New Brunswick with her brother Norman and their mother Annie. No occupation is recorded for Peg though she is 20 years old. Records are scarce between 1921 and 1940, but I did find Peg in the 1935 Canada Voters List living at 70 Pleasant Street, Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, no occupation given.
On 21 Dec 1940, four months after her mother's death. Peg married Roy Everett Sprague at the home of her sister Kate and brother-in-law Norman Black at East Victoria Street, Amherst, NS. Roy was born 14 April 1893 in The Grant, near Springfield, Kings County, New Brunswick, son of David William Sprague (farmer) and Elizabeth Jane Vail. Roy was a widower. He had first
married Catherine Eileen Bryan of Green Hill, Pictou County, NS on 16 Sept 1926 in Truro, NS but Eileen died in 1932. She is buried in Durham Cemetery, Pictou County, NS and her gravestone is inscribed "wife of R E Sprague". Roy and Eileen had no children. At the time of Peg and Roy's marriage Peg was manager of a retail dress shop in Truro (located about midpoint up the east side of Inglis Place) and Roy was proprietor of a dry-cleaning company in Truro (situated at the north end of King Street). The marriage record shows both Peg and Roy were Baptists. In 1948 Peg and Roy were living in Truro at 56 Elm Street, a stately Queen Anne Revival style house built in 1902. This house was later moved around the corner to Prince Street where for a time it became the prestigious John Stanfield Inn. Peg and Roy next lived at 125 Queen St, Truro, another Queen Anne Revival style house. Although I was only 3 years old I do remember meeting Roy there. He was the first
person I ever saw in a wheelchair and I couldn't understand why he didn't stand up and walk. Roy died 25 Sept 1956 in Sussex, Kings County, New Brunswick, cause of death was coronary sclerosis with asthma a significant contributing condition.
After Roy's death Auntie Peg continued to live at 125 Queen Street for some time, and it is this property I most associate with her. I adored her beautiful Persian rug, antique maroon velvet sofa and chairs, brass ornaments from India, picture above the mantle of white peonies cascading from a brass vase, and stunning dark amethyst mantle lusters. Later Auntie Peg lived in several places, all charmingly decorated. Two other long-standing homes were Maple Place at 122 Smith Avenue in Truro and 4 Hillside Avenue in Sackville, NB. Primarily for health reasons, no doubt also because of a distaste for cold weather, Peg and Roy annually wintered in Plant City, Florida, a practice Peg maintained after Roy's death. Each spring Auntie Peg arrived home with gifts for her nieces. I remember on two occasions receiving gorgeous filmy party dresses, one soft yellow, the other mint green. In my mind Auntie Peg had fairy godmother qualities. She had the magical power to transform a little red-haired, freckled-faced kid into a dazzling princess.
Auntie Peg exuded elegance. Not just her homes were refined and tasteful. To me her life style was glamorous. At a time when international travel was rare, she went abroad a number of times to exotic places. And Auntie Peg was always dressed with style. She understood the season colour concept in fashion long before Colour Me Beautiful was written. With her soft brown eyes and once auburn hair she knew autumn colours were most becoming to her. Even now I still associate fall hues with her and often when I see browns and rusts and beiges I think of Auntie Peg. She never lost her sense of style or her delight in dressing up. Into her eighties she still wore pumps, deeming oxford-type shoes were not for her but only for old ladies.
About 1979, in her twilight years, Peg married W Cecil Fillmore. They later divorced.
Peg died 29 March 1991, age 90, at the Drew Nursing Home in Sackville, NB. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She and Roy are buried in the Robie Street Cemetery in Truro. Peg and Roy had no children.
Peg married Roy Everett Sprague [3835], son of David William Sprague [3836] and Elizabeth Jane Vail [3837], on 21 Dec 1940 in Amherst, Cumberland County, NS, Canada. Roy was born on 14 Apr 1893 in Springfield, Kins County, NB, Canada, died on 25 Sep 1956 in Sussex, Kings County, NB, Canada, aged 63, and was buried in Robie Street Cemetery, Truro, NS, Canada. The cause of his death was Coronary sclerosis/Asthma.
They were married at East Victoria Street, Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, at the home of Peg's sister Kate and brother-in-law Norman Black.
Roy Everett Sprague was a widower at the time of his marriage to Peg. His first marriage was to Catherine Eileen Bryan of Green Hill, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
At the time of his marriage to Peg, Roy was the proprietor of a dry-cleaning business in Truro, located at the north end of King Street.
Roy used a wheelchair later in life.
Peg next married W. CECIL Fillmore [3838] about 1979. The marriage ended in divorce.

Alexander Gordon McPhail - born 19 Feb 1903 in Havelock, Kings County, New Brunswick, the tenth and last child of Alex McPhail and Annie McNeil. He commonly went by "A G" or "Gordon", but to his grand-nieces and -nephews he was "Uncle Gordie". In the 1911 Census of Canada he is listed with his parents and four of his siblings living at 9 Mill Street, Amherst,
Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. I was not able to locate Gordon in the 1921 Census of Canada, though I did confirm he was not living with any immediate family members at that time. A search of the 1920 US Federal Census failed to uncover him there either. On 27 June 1927 Gordon, insurance broker, married Annie Isobella Hoar, stenographer, at St Andrews Manse, Pictou, Nova Scotia. Anne was born 12 July 1905 in Truro, daughter of Thomas Hoar (carpenter) and Alma Lucy Ettinger. Gordon founded the A G MacPhail Co Ltd, general insurance agents, located in Truro. He was an astute businessman and enjoyed music as well as sports. He was past president of Truro Golf Club, a member of Truro Curling Club, and a member the IOOF. It was Gordon who provided financial support for his brother Colin "Kruger" McPhail for a number of years in the early part of Colin's stay in the Nova Scotia Hospital, as attested by their brother Donald McPhail who was Colin's legal guardian. In retirement Gordon founded and operated the North Shore Golf and Country Club in Brule Point, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. My father, Colin Robinson (Bob) Watt, worked with Gordon in the insurance business for a number of years, and our family visited Gordon and Anne often. In his senior years Uncle Gordie took great pleasure in smoking fine cigars, and I don't believe I ever saw him without one. Gordon died 1 November 1981 (age 78) in Tatamagouche, Colchester County, Nova Scotia. Anne died in 1999. They are buried in Robie Street Cemetery, Truro. Gordon and Anne had no children, but Mary Sutherland was like a daughter to them. Family lore says Mary started in domestic service with Gordon and Anne. Mary Ethel Sutherland was born in 1919 in Stellarton, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, daughter of Hugh and Annie (McLellan) Sutherland, the middle of three children, with an elder brother William (Bill) and a younger sister Jean. The Sutherland family lived in Riverton, Pictou County, NS. Mary's youth was filled with tragedies. In 1932, when Mary was 12, her father Hugh, a CNR brakeman, died in a horrific freight yard accident in Stellarton. In 1937, when Mary was 17, her mother Mary died as a result of trophic ulcers, hemiplegia, and cerebral hemorrhage. In 1941, when Mary was 20, her brother Bill, a boatswain in the Canadian Merchant Navy, was killed with all on board when his ship SS Vancouver Island while on convoy was torpedoed by a German U-boat.
Mary was an attractive, stylish woman. A far back as I can remember Mary lived with Gordon and Anne. Back in the day when smoking was considered sophisticated and socially acceptable, Gordon, Anne, and Mary were all heavy smokers. It's strange what sticks in your memory. I recall my continual dismay when visiting them as their living room was always a haze of smoke. I'm not judging, that is the simple fact. Being a light smoker myself for 30 years, I myself have contributed more than my fair share of pollution.
Mary died in 1996 in Truro. She is buried in Brookside Cemetery, East River Road, New Glasgow, Pictou County, NS where she shares her headstone with her parents and her brother. As recently as 2 Nov 2021 her sister Jean (Sutherland) Saunders died in Truro, the last surviving member of her immediate family.

390. John Alexander MacPhail [1831] (John6, Colin Alexander "Sandy"5, Colin4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 6 Jan 1893 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada and died 1909 to 1910 in Calgary, AB, Canada, aged 16.

John Alexander died in Calgary, Alta., Canada, in 1909/1910. Buried in Calgary, Alta., Canada. Occupation: Porter At CPR Freight Yards, Calgary. User ID: MP1143341.
-He appears with his McPHAIL grandparents in the 1901 Census, identified as "nephew" JOHN A. McPHAIL with the above birth date. His identification is based on the known existence of an early son of JOHN MacPHAIL (MP114334) and the realization that he was too young to be a nephew of ALEXANDER McPHAIL (MP11433) and had to have some other connection, likely quite close. It was also recognized that the JOHN's son's date of birth was in the 1887 - 1893 time period in order to fit other dates. The middle name is an assumption based on the letter "A" and his grandfather's name and recognizes he would have been the first McPHAIL grandson in this branch of the family. His father was not with him in the 1901 Census. With his mother's early death, he was brought up by the family of his father on the Argyle Shore, PEI.
JOHN went to Calgary, Alta. to live with his uncle MALCOLM (MP114337). This move may have been done to get him out of his grandparents' hair as they already had a nine year old granddaughter MARGARET MacPHAIL (MP1143312) living with them as well as their son JAMES (MP114336) and his wife and two year old son. The city directories for Calgary have been studied for the years 1900 (the earliest) to 1930 for him. In the 1910 Henderson's Directory of Calgary, there is a J. McPhail who is otherwise unaccounted for among the other McPhails listed. He appears only in that year's Directory, which was compiled in the fall of 1909. This J. McPhail was a porter at the CPR freight sheds and lived in East Calgary. No further information was found on him in Calgary records.
This son is said to have died young without having married. There is no indication that his remains were brought back from Calgary and his place of burial is unknown.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. Ewen MacDougall of the Free Church of Scotland. The bondsman was Wilbert MacPhail.
Alexander John GOODWILL MacPhail was a farmer in PEI.
Goodwill travelled west to Calgary, Alberta, likely in the summer of 1906, to join his older brother Malcolm. There he worked as a teamster. He boarded with Ralph A. Tanner, his manager, at 330 - 4th Avenue S.E., Calgary. Goodwill returned to PEI about two years after his arrival.
In 1912, when his father Malcolm died, Goodwill inherited the 50-acre property known as the "McNevin farm," extending northward from the shore of the Northumberland Strait, just west of the Bonshaw Road and Argyle Road crossroads. In 1994, 11 years after Goodwill's death, the property was held by Edwin MacPhail.
In their later years, Goodwill and Phemie retired to Crapaud, PEI, where they lived in a seniors' retirement home. After Phemie died, Goodwill lived with Doug and Joan MacPhail until he suffered a stroke in 1973 at age 90 and he moved into a nursing home in Charlottetown. He died there about a year later.

He went west to Calgary, Alberta to join his older brother MALCOLM (MP114337), likely in the summer of 1906 for he appeared in the 1907 Henderson's Directory of Calgary which was compiled in the fall of 1906. In it and the next year's Directory he is identified as a teamster with the Northern Transfer Co. and was boarding with his employer, Ralph A. Tanner, the manager, at 330 - 4th Ave, SE. GOODWILL apparently decided that PEI looked better than the wild west and seems to have returned in 1908 for his name does not appear in the 1909 and subsequent Directories.
Under his father's will, GOODWILL was to get the 50 acre farm identified as the "McNevin farm" which stretched from the shore of the Northumberland Strait northward just west of the Bonshaw Road and Argyle Road crossroads.

Malcolm Wilbert "Birt" MacPhail [1902] (John "Johnny" James Malcolm6, Malcolm John5, John4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 21 Jan 1903 in Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, was christened on 6 Jul 1903 in DeSable Free Church, Argyle Shore, Lot 29, Queen's County, PEI, Canada, died on 19 Mar 1989 in Prince Edward Home, Charlottetown, PEI, Canada, aged 86, and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery, PEI, Canada. He was usually called Birt.
Malcolm Wilbert MacPhail was born on 21 Jan 1903 at Argyle Shore, Lot 30, Prince Edward Island. He was baptized on 6 Jul 1903 at DeSable Free Church by Rev. John Goodwill. His religious affiliation was Free Church of Scotland. He was known as Birt.
He was a farmer.
Malcolm married Catherine MacPhee on 21 Aug 1935 and had nine children with her.
He married his second wife, Dorothy Good, on 6 Apr 1963. There were no children by the second marriage.
Malcolm Wilbert MacPHAIL died on 19 Mar 1989 at age 86 and was buried in Argyle Shore Cemetery.
Family members recalled an incident in which Birt narrowly escaped disaster while hauling logs across the ice at the mouth of the DeSable River. After delivering logs to a mill at Victoria or Crapaud, he was caught in fog as the weather turned milder. The ice near the river mouth had become unsafe. Rather than guiding the horses himself, he gave them their head and told them to go home. The horses avoided soft ice and returned safely to shore. Birt believed that had he tried to drive them, they likely would have broken through the ice with fatal consequences.

The family remembers being told a story of BIRT's close escape on the ice at the mouth of the DeSable River. He had cut some logs one spring and loaded them on a horse-drawn sledge and taken them over the ice along the coast to the mill at Victoria or Crapaud, it being an easier path than along the road in winter. On his return that afternoon, the weather had turned milder and a fog caught him on the ice. He lost his way and got into areas at the mouth of the DeSable River where the ice was too thin for safe travel. BIRT gave the horses their head and a command to go home, and after a few detours around soft ice patches they arrived safely at the shore at his farm. BIRT maintained that had he driven the horses, they likely would have end up breaking through the ice with fatal results for horses and man.

Chester McPhail was born on 6 Apr 1891 at Canoe Cove, Lot 65, Prince Edward Island. His religious affiliation was Free Church of Scotland.
His date of birth varies in the records: 6 Apr 1889 per J.J. MacEachern; 6 Apr 1891 per the United States Social Security Death Index; 8 Apr 1891 per the 1901 Census; and 6 Apr 1899 per baptismal records when his grandparents, Duncan Darrach and Jane McPhail, presented him. The date 6 Apr 1891 is considered the most likely.

One source provides the name Dorothy M. Green, while another provides the fuller name Dorothy May Green. The more complete form Dorothy May Green was used in the summaries.
One source indicates that Dorothy married a person with the surname McCabe but provides no given name. Another source records a marriage to Robert E Phillips in 1919 with a divorce in 1969. Both marriages are included because neither source contradicts the existence of the other.
The birth year is provided as 1900 in one source and no conflicting information is given elsewhere. The date is therefore stated with the same level of precision.
One source states Dorothy died after 1969. No precise death date is provided, so the summary reflects that the death occurred after that year.

From Donald Malcolm McPhail Obituary:
DONALD McPHAIL M.D. 1921 - 2004 It is with sadness we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather, Donald Malcolm McPhail, on Saturday, May 15, 2004. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Ethel (Herriot), his partner in medicine and his partner in life, for 58 years; daughters, Joan (Bob) McCallister, Portage, Shirley (John) Kulchycki, Dauphin, Catherine (Dennis) Takayesu, Montreal; sons in Winnipeg, Bruce (Mavis) and Gordon (Darlene) and 16 grandchildren. He is also survived by sisters-in-law, Ethel McPhail, Marion Brydon, and Sally Herriot. He was predeceased by his parents; one granddaughter; brother James; sister Audrey Martin; and brothers-in-law, Alex Martin, Ken Bryden and Jack Herriot. He graduated in Medicine in 1945 from the U. of M. and it was there that he met his wife whom he married in 1945. He served in the army from 1943 to 1946, followed by post-graduate surgery at St. Boniface Hospital, and then they decided to try rural medicine. They practiced briefly in Pilot Mound and then continued medicine in Boissevain for 29 years where they learned to enjoy rural living fully. In 1976 he joined the Workers Compensation Board (WCB) in Winnipeg and later enjoyed services at the Manitoba Development Centre (MDC), Portage, and with the Northern Medical Services. Don enjoyed work in medical politics. He was MMA president in 1969, the controversial year the MHSC became an entity, and later served on CMA committees as well as the Board of Directors of MHSC. He was district rep for CP&S, 1974 to 1976. While in Boissevain he was very active in his community serving on the town council, school board, Chamber of Commerce, and on the board of various local industries and organizations for curling, golf and baseball. He was a Shrine clown for several years when he and friends formed a clown unit complete with a crazy car and crazier acts performed in both Canada and the United States. After retiring he enjoyed golfing and curling at the Wildwood. He especially enjoyed sharing time with family and friends at the Max Lake cottage on Arbour Island. Ethel and Don enjoyed a lot of travelling to places with poor medical services, unique nature habitats, and unstable governments, but always made it home safely. He was renowned for his wonderful sense of humour. Special in his life were his children and grandchildren in whom he found great pride and joy. A service of remembrance will be held on Thursday, May 20 at 2:00 in Thomson "In the Park", Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd. We wish to thank Day Contee and Karen, his original home care workers, and in the past five months, the very caring staff at the Convalescent Home of Winnipeg who gave him a home away from home.

From Dr. Ethel Margaret Harriot's obituary:
DR. ETHEL MARGARET MCPHAIL, MD (nee HERRIOT) 1922 - 2012 It is with sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Ethel McPhail on Sunday, April 15, 2012 at the Southeast Personal Care Home in Winnipeg. She had just recently celebrated her 90th birthday on February 17, 2012. She was Dr. Ethel to many but Mom to her children. Left to cherish her memory are her daughters Joan (Bob) McCallister, Portage la Prairie, Shirley (John) Kulchycki, Dauphin, and Cathy (Dennis) Takayesu, Montreal; sons in Winnipeg, Bruce (Mavis) McPhail and Gordon (Darlene) McPhail; 16 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Marion Bryden, and sisters-in-law Sally Herriot and Ethel McPhail. She was predeceased by her husband Don in 2004 - her partner in medicine and in life for 58 years, one granddaughter, her brother Jack Herriot, her sister-in-law Audrey Martin, and brothers-in-law James McPhail and Alex Martin. Growing up in River Heights in Winnipeg, the youngest of three children, she attended Kelvin High and became one of only four women allowed to enter medicine at that time. Ethel graduated from the University of Manitoba in Medicine in 1945 (earning the Gold Medal). She had joined the army (Second World War) in her third year and graduated as an officer as well as a doctor. She married her classmate, Don, in 1945 and they moved to Pilot Mound and then Boissevain where they practised together for 29 years. She made regular house calls in the rural area, often requiring use of a bombardier when roads were closed and emergencies arose. She performed anaesthetics for surgeries in the neighbouring communities, delivered generations of babies, and along with Don, provided great care for the local residents. In 1976 they returned to Winnipeg where she spent a lot of her time helping out at the Community Clinic on River Avenue. Ethel never really retired and she was still working part time at the Misericordia Hospital in her early 80s. She always said she loved being able to help others and said medicine was the best hobby she had. She loved her time at Lake Max in the summer and she thoroughly enjoyed living in her house in Winnipeg on the Red River. She always had a canoe and a boat or two to jump into. She was an excellent swimmer and water skied well into her 60s. In the winter Mom skated in St. Vital Park and liked to drive her snowmobiles. She always enjoyed curling and was skipping at the Wildewood up until a couple of years ago. Mom especially enjoyed sharing these activities with her children and later the grandchildren (particularly the camping trips that Grandma took them on). She loved to travel and was always planning new exotic trips to foreign places. Seasonal tickets to the symphony, the opera, MTC and PTE were a winter necessity. Community was important to Mom. She was a long-time Girl Guide leader, served on the Turtle Mountain School Board, and the Brandon University's Board of Governors. Better education and better health in the rural communities may be considered as part of her legacy. In spite of her never ending curiosity toward the challenge of medicine she always felt the most important and worthwhile part of her life was her husband Don and their large family. She felt that to be blessed in this way by God was more than any one person deserved. The family would like to thank the nurses and support staff at the Southeast Personal Care Home in Winnipeg for their caring and kindness during Mom's last months. A funeral mass will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, April 27, 2012 at St. Ignatius Parish, 255 Stafford St., Winnipeg. I leave you as moonlight leaves the water's face; As wind forsakes the fragile willows brief embrace. I leave you as the dew before the morning sun departs; With my memory and my spirit in your hearts. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Boissevain and Morton Foundation, P.O. Box 1075, Boissevain, MB R0K 0E0. For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website. Chapel Lawn www.chapellawn.mb.ca 885-9715

IN THE CARE OF
Marsh Funeral Home
Ruth Emilie Wachholz-MacPhail, age 89, passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 12, 2019, at Advocate Condell Hospital in Libertyville, IL. She was born February 1, 1930, in Chuckery, OH the youngest of 8 siblings (Paul, John, Magdeline, Edward, Eleanor, Mary, Helen) to Rev. Conrad John Stephen and Elizabeth (Krentz) Wachholz. Since Ruth grew up with her father being a Lutheran Minister, she was proud of her religious heritage and remained devoted to the faith all her life. She was a graduate of Valparaiso University in Indiana, where all of her siblings also attended. She spoke of her days at Valpo throughout her life, as she was very proud of her family's accomplishments there and continued to keep in touch with her sorority sisters through Round Robin letters and by attending Valpo reunion events. After graduating from Valpo, she began her working career at the Quaker Oats Company in downtown Chicago at the Merchandise Mart, where she met her late-husband Robert Bruce MacPhail (4/25/1929-12/5/2014). They married on October 3, 1953. She became the mother of two surviving children, Stephen Michael and Susan Mary. She took part-time jobs at places like Carson Pirie Scott or administrative jobs in offices, but she mostly focused on being a stay-at-home Mom while her children were minors. She then re-entered the office management field when they were grown and out of the house.
Their first home as a married couple was in Rolling Meadow, IL. Over the years they also lived in Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights, IL, and then moved to Woodland Hills, CA for 8 years. In 1981 they relocated back to the Midwest to Deerfield, IL. In late 1982 they moved to Appleton, WI, where they opened their own Employee Benefits Firm servicing small businesses. The firm was named MacPhail & Assoc, where Ruth became Vice President and Office Manager. When they retired in 1990, they settled in Gurnee, IL for the remainder of their married lives to be near their daughter Susan and her daughters. When Robert passed away, Ruth moved into Oak Hills Supportive Living in Round Lake Beach, IL.
She loved flowers, birds and horses. She planted petunias in the yard of every home she lived and she especially enjoyed having a potted jasmine plant near the front door to welcome visitors with the sweet aroma. She enjoyed music, especially classical. If asked who her favorite composer was, she would answer: "the three B's \endash you know, Bach, Bach and Bach." She, along with her sisters Helen and Mary attended the annual Green Lake Choral Institute Program more than once, participating in the Green Lake Festival of Music at the Lawrence University Memorial Church, directed by the late Sir David Valentine Willcocks. Ruth loved to travel to Europe with her sisters. It wasn't long until Robert also got the travel bug. Together they enjoyed many trips touring all parts of Europe, Canada, America and the Holy Land, often accompanied by her sister Helen and Helen's late husband Lester. She instilled the love of travel in her son and daughter, as well as her granddaughters. She took her granddaughters on a trip to Disney World Florida and accompanied them on a trip to Washington DC. She also took them on a driving trip through Central Wisconsin, including going to House On The Rock, where she would often say that every person alive should go visit at least once in their lifetime. She loved history, the study of language and reading. She was a straight A student majoring in English at Valpo, so she often found humor in word puns or in pointing out comical mistakes made in others' less than perfect grammar. She, along with her sister Helen, attended the Oxford University Summer Programme in English Literature from July 6 to26, 1997, completing courses in Shakespeare and Romantics at Exeter College Oxford on the ancient Turl Street site. She loved to look at the sky and found enjoyment in pointing out shapes in the clouds that resembled animals. She was very close to her siblings, their spouses and children throughout her life. She lived for family events that would bring the family together and she spoke often about her family's history and her numerous cherished childhood memories.
She is survived by many who hold her dear, including the biggest joys of her life - her six granddaughters. Stephen's daughters, Kailyn, Brynne and Taryne, live out of state. She spoke to them often, displayed pictures of them throughout her home and visited as much as she could, often at Christmas time. Susan's daughters, Christin, Jacqui and Rosie, live closer and were blessed by her close presence. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Kailyn's children Emma (3) and Elijah (1) who recently came from out of state with Kailyn and Brynne to visit and she was very grateful and delighted to meet the little ones for the first time. Christin's children, Caleb (15), Maggie (13), and Jax (6), as well as Rosie's son Ezra (3), also enjoyed time with her on a regular basis. She is also survived by her sisters Eleanor and Helen, as well as many nephews and nieces, including their children. She loved her family dearly and expressed it strongly, proudly enumerating their many accomplishments to anyone who would listen.
A celebration of life service will be held at Faith Lutheran Church, located at: 680 Deerpath, Lake Forest, IL on May 18th with the Visitation from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m., and Service from 11:00 a.m. to Noon.

Donald married Ruth Elizabeth Tracy [5], daughter of Herbert Tracy [98] and Hughena Hargraves [97], on 27 May 1953 in Sackville, Westmorland County, NB, Canada. Marriage status: married. Ruth was born on 24 Jun 1932 in Sackville, Westmorland County, NB, Canada.
Ruth Elizabeth Tracy was born in 24 Jun 1932 in Sackville, Westmorland County, New Brunswick.
Ruth attended Mount Allison University in Sackville and in 1953 earned a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry and mathematics.
On 1953 Ruth married Donald Sutherland McPhail. Ruth was about age 21.
In 1953 Ruth moved to London, England with Don while he studied at the London School of Economics. In 1955 the couple moved to Montréal, Québec where Don worked as an economist for DuPont.
In 1956 Ruth moved with Don to Ottawa, Ontario. In 1957 the family relocated to Paris, France when Don began his first overseas diplomatic posting. In 1960 Ruth was living in Paris with her family.
In 1964 Ruth moved with Don and their family to Geneva, Switzerland, where he served with the Canadian delegation to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade negotiations. The family returned to Ottawa in 1967.
In 1970 Ruth moved with Don to Caracas, Venezuela during his diplomatic posting there. While living in Caracas Ruth survived a severe amoebic infection affecting her liver.
In 1972 Ruth returned with Don to Ottawa. In 1974 the family moved to Moncton, Westmorland County, New Brunswick when Don accepted a government position there. They returned again to Ottawa in 1976.
From 1977 to 1979 Ruth served as a professor of statistics at Algonquin College in Ottawa.
In 1979 Ruth moved again to Geneva, Switzerland when Don was appointed Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations. In 1983 the family moved to Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany, during Don's posting as Canada's Ambassador.
In 1987 Ruth moved with Don to Halifax, Halifax County, Nova Scotia when he became the inaugural President of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
In 1991 Ruth and Don retired and moved to Green Cove Springs, Florida, United States. In 2003 they sold their Florida residence and moved to a condominium in Bedford, Halifax County, Nova Scotia.
In 2022 Ruth and Don moved to a retirement residence in Pickering, Ontario to be closer to their children.
Donald Sutherland McPhail died in 2022 when Ruth was about age 90.
Ruth and Don had two daughters and one son.
Source:From Alex McPhail:
Ruth was born and raised in Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. She was one of the few women of her era who went on to University, and fewer still who earned a Bachelor of Science degree. She earned her degree in Chemistry and Mathematics in 1953 from Mount Allison University in Sackville.
She married Don in 1953 and worked in Ottawa for the Department of National Defence in a chemistry laboratory. Later that same year, Ruth moved to London, England with Don, who attended the London School of Economics on a scholarship.
In 1955 Ruth and Don moved to Montreal where Donald worked with DuPont as an economist. There she gave birth to her first daughter, Kim in 1955. A year later the family moved to Ottawa. Ruth had her second child, Jocelyn, in Ottawa in 1957 before Don was posted to his first overseas diplomatic assignment in Paris, France in that same year. Ruth had her last child, Alex, in Paris in 1960. The family returned to Ottawa, where Ruth and Don purchased a house that would become the McPhail homestead for decades.
In 1964 Ruth and Don moved the family to Geneva, Switzerland, where Don was posted to work on the Kennedy Round for the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). They returned to the homestead in Ottawa in 1967. 1970 saw Don's first diplomatic posting as an ambassador, and the family moved to Caracas, Venezuela. In Caracas Ruth miraculously recovered from an incurable amoebic infection when the infection erupted from her dying liver, and burst through her diaphragm into her lungs, and she literally coughed up the entire infection.
She returned to Ottawa with Don in 1972, and then moved to Moncton in 1974 when Don took a job there. Ruth returned with Don to Ottawa in 1976. From 1977 to 1979 she was a professor of Statistics at Algonquin College in Ottawa.
Ruth and Don moved to Geneva, Switzerland a second time in 1979 when Don was posted Ambassador to the United Nations, and to Bonn, Germany in 1983 when Don was posted Ambassador to West Germany. The moved to Halifax in 1987 when Don was appointed the inaugural president of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
In 1991 Don and Ruth retired to a house they designed themselves in Green Cove Springs, Florida, U.S.A., about 30 Km south of Jacksonville. They sold the Florida house and purchased a condominium in Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada in 2003.
In 1985, while they lived in Germany, Ruth and Don purchased a cottage in Murray Corner on the shores of the Northumberland Straight in New Brunswick, Canada. They expanded the cottage in 1991, adding an upper floor at one end that housed two guest bedrooms and a sunroom downstairs. The cottage lies within sight of the where Confederation Bridge now connects P.E.I. to mainland Canada. The ferry service continued to run for 12 more years after they purchased the cottage until the bridge opened in 1997.
The Murray Corner cottage rests along a one-mile bluff originally purchased by Helen (Tracy) and Bob Lawrence. Helen is Ruth's sister. Helen and Bob purchased the land in 1958 and subdivided the mile-long waterfront property into ten shorefront lots. They kept the largest end lot and built a prefabricated cottage there in 1959. Hughie and Herbert Tracy, Helen and Ruth's parents, purchased one of the lots, and built their own cottage there in 1960. Sadly Herbert died a year later, and he had little time to enjoy the idyllic retreat.
Decades later, as the cottage upkeep grew too much work for the aging Hughie Tracy, she sold her cottage to her son, William "Ral" Tracy, Ruth's brother, in 1979. So when Ruth and Don purchased their cottage on the same bluff in 1985, the Tracy siblings - Ral, Helen, and Ruth - were reunited along the Northumberland shore.
Ral sold his cottage in 2009, and Ruth and Don sold their cottage in 2015, leaving Helen with her original cottage on the Northumberland bluff. Helen has since bequeathed the cottage to her son, David, who lives across the straight in P.E.I., closing a 65-year-old family dynasty.
Ruth and Don moved to the Amica retirement home in Pickering, Ontario, Canada in 2022. Don died about two months later. At age 93 Ruth still thrives at Amica as a bridge (cards game) instructor for fellow residents and she organizes social events, such as Toronto Blue Jays fun days. She was recognized by the Mayor of Toronto for her selfless work and contributions to her community.
From Sarah Campbell's excerpt of Donald Sutherland McPhail:
Ruth Elizabeth Tracy was born in 1932.
Ruth attended Mount Allison University in Sackville, Westmorland County, New Brunswick.
On 1953 Ruth married Donald Sutherland McPhail. Ruth was about age 21.
Ruth and Don later lived in Bedford, Halifax County, Nova Scotia during their retirement years. In 2022 they moved to Pickering, Ontario to be closer to their children.
Ruth and Don had three children.
Children from this marriage were:
+ 631 F i. Kim Tracy McPhail [9] was born on 30 Sep 1955 in Montreal, QC, Canada.
+ 632 F ii. Jocelyn Nan McPhail [10] was born on 1 May 1957 in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
+ 633 M iii. Donald Alexander "Alex" McPhail [1] was born on 23 Apr 1960 in Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris, France.
565. McPhail [3833] (Colin "Kruger" Campbell6, Alexander "Alex" Bede5, Donald (Rev.)4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born on 27 Apr 1932 and died on 27 Apr 1932.
An unnamed son of Colin Campbell McPhail and Gwendoline was born on 27 Apr 1932 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
He lived approximately 2 hours.
He died on the same day from shock associated with prolonged labour and was buried in Camp Hill Cemetery, Halifax.

Colin Campbell McPhail -
On 27 Apr 1932 in Halifax, Nova Scotia an unnamed son was born to Colin and Gwendoline. The baby only lived 2 hours, dying of shock from his mother's prolonged labour. He is buried in Camp Hill Cemetery, Halifax.
566. Mary Ethel Sutherland [3840] (Alexander GORDON6, Alexander "Alex" Bede5, Donald (Rev.)4, Malcolm3, John2, Alexander1) was born in 1919 in Stellarton, Pictou County, NS, Canada, died in 1996 in Truro, Colchester County, NS, Canada, aged 77, and was buried in Brookside Cemetery, New Glasgow, Pictou County, NS, Canada. (Other parents: Hugh Sutherland [3841] and Annie McLellan [3842].)
Although not their biological daughter, Mary Ethel Sutherland was regarded as a surrogate daughter within the household of Alexander Gordon McPhail and Annie Isobella Hoar.
Mary's biological father (Hugh Sutherland) died when she as 12 years old. Mary's biological mother (Annie McLellan) died when Mary was 16. Her brother, William, a boatswain in the Canadian Merchant Navy, died in 1941 when his ship was torpedoed and sunk.
Family folklore holds that Mary's association with the McPhail family began through domestic service, and she became the equiavlent of a foster child around the time her parents died.

Alexander Gordon McPhail - b
Gordon and Anne had no children, but Mary Sutherland was like a daughter to them. Family lore says Mary started in domestic service with Gordon and Anne. Mary Ethel Sutherland was born in 1919 in Stellarton, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, daughter of Hugh and Annie (McLellan) Sutherland, the middle of three children, with an elder brother William (Bill) and a younger sister Jean. The Sutherland family lived in Riverton, Pictou County, NS. Mary's youth was filled with tragedies. In 1932, when Mary was 12, her father Hugh, a CNR brakeman, died in a horrific freight yard accident in Stellarton. In 1937, when Mary was 17, her mother Mary died as a result of trophic ulcers, hemiplegia, and cerebral hemorrhage. In 1941, when Mary was 20, her brother Bill, a boatswain in the Canadian Merchant Navy, was killed with all on board when his ship SS Vancouver Island while on convoy was torpedoed by a German U-boat.
Mary was an attractive, stylish woman. A far back as I can remember Mary lived with Gordon and Anne. Back in the day when smoking was considered sophisticated and socially acceptable, Gordon, Anne, and Mary were all heavy smokers. It's strange what sticks in your memory. I recall my continual dismay when visiting them as their living room was always a haze of smoke. I'm not judging, that is the simple fact. Being a light smoker myself for 30 years, I myself have contributed more than my fair share of pollution.
Mary died in 1996 in Truro. She is buried in Brookside Cemetery, East River Road, New Glasgow, Pictou County, NS where she shares her headstone with her parents and her brother. As recently as 2 Nov 2021 her sister Jean (Sutherland) Saunders died in Truro, the last surviving member of her immediate family.

She moved to Paris, France, in 1957 when her father embarked on his first diplomatic posting. She returned to Ottawa in 1961 with her family. In 1964 she moved to Geneva, Switzerland when her father was appointed to his second diplomatic posting. She again returned to Ottawa in 1967.
In 1970, when Donald McPhail accepted his first ambassadorship to Venezuela, there were no suitable schools at Kim's grade level in Caracas, and so she attended the Kings Hall boarding school in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Kim rejoined the family when they returned to Ottawa in 1972. Kim remained in Ottawa when the family moved to Moncton in 1974 for two years, and again rejoined the family when they returned in 1976.
Kim earned her Bachelor of Economics at Carleton University in the following years. Upon graduation she landed a job with the Bank of Canada, the nation's central government bank, in downtown Ottawa. Kim excelled at the Bank and became an internationally respected senior economist. She attended conferences and presented economic policy briefings at other central government banks around the world.
In 1982 Kim married Keith Acheson, who had four children from a previous marriage. Kim had no children of her own. Kim and Keith were officially married by a justice of the peace in Ottawa, and following that civil wedding, her parents (Ruth and Don) hosted Kim, Keith, and the relatives of both families at a festive wedding celebration in Geneva, Switzerland, where Don was Canadian Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Rev. Ray Harding, Kim's uncle (Donald's sister's husband) travelled from Salisbury, U.K. to preside over the ceremony in Geneva.
The marriage dissolved in 1984, and in the same year Kim moved to Los Angeles, California, USA to pursue her master's degree in economics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She withdrew before the end of her first semester for health reasons.
Kim returned to Ottawa and later rejoined the Bank of Canada as a senior economist. There she bought a house in the upscale neighbourhood of The Glebe, where she still lives. Kim pursued a PhD in economics at Carleton University, but did not complete her degree.
Kim left the Bank of Canada about 2008. She remains in Ottawa, and volunteers at several organizations.

Shortly after Jocelyn "Joce" Nan McPhail was born in Ottawa, Canada, she moved with her family to Paris, France where her father, Donald McPhail, was fulfilling his first posting as a diplomat with External Affairs of Canada. She returned to Ottawa with her family in 1961, and then moved to Geneva, Switzerland in 1964 when her father took his second diplomatic posting there. She returned to Ottawa in 1967, and moved to Caracas, Venezuela in 1970, again with her family when her father accepted his first ambassadorship. Joce returned to Ottawa two years later, and in 1974 moved to Moncton, New Brunswick when her father took a two-year sabbatical from External Affairs.
In 1975 Joce moved to Wolfville, Nova Scotia to attend Acadia University, and she graduated in 1978 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. Joce returned home with her parents, who by then had moved back to Ottawa, before she moved in 1979 to a small apartment in the Bathurst / St. Claire region of Toronto. She found work with a small marketing firm. Later Joce moved to Nuns Island in the south end of Montreal, Quebec, when she worked with Johnson & Johnson (J&J) as a marketing manager. It was in Montreal that Jocelyn met Sandra "Sandy" Petersen, and they became life-long partners. Sandy also worked at J&J.
Joce and Sandy moved to Châteauguay, Quebec, about 30 Km south of Montreal. They remained in Châteauguay until Sandy was relocated to the J&J Toronto office as a senior manager. They sold the Chateaugay house and together they purchased a large home in Markham, Ontario, a northern suburb of Toronto. Joce and Sandy's lovely Markham home has been a focus of the gatherings for both the McPhail and Petersen families, with many Christmas and New Year gatherings taking place there.
Sandy worked at J&J while Joce sold her privately held marketing consulting company and retired in 2005. Some time later they sold the Quebec cottage, as they found the distance too far to enjoy from Toronto. Sandy retired from J&J in 2006. They now travel the world together when they are not at home relaxing with their household pets.
In 2025 Joce and Sandy sold their Markham home and bought a lovely home overlooking a gentle pond at a golf course in Stouffville, a community about 40 Km (25 miles) north of downtown Toronto.
When she was a young girl, Jocelyn's parents bought a family dog, a boxer named Beau. He was a beloved family pet, and left a distinctive mark on Jocelyn, who has owned boxers nearly her entire adult life.

Donald Alexander "Alex" McPhail was born in 1960 in Billancourt, Paris, France. He went by the name of Alex. Because his father was serving in the Canadian diplomatic corps at the time, Alex was born under diplomatic immunity and is registered as a Canadian citizen born abroad.
At about age one Alex moved with his family from Paris, France to Ottawa, Ontario. In 1964 he moved with his family to Geneva, Switzerland when his father began a diplomatic posting there. The family returned to Ottawa in 1967.
In 1970 Alex moved with his family to Caracas, Venezuela when his father was appointed ambassador. He returned to Ottawa in 1972. From 1974 to 1976 Alex lived in Moncton, Westmorland County, New Brunswick when his father took a two-year government position there. At other times Alex lived at the family home in Ottawa.
Alex completed a degree in physics at the University of Waterloo in 1983 at about age 23. After graduating he returned to Ottawa where he worked in several high-technology positions in software engineering.
In 1984 Alex married Lisa Marilyn Baker in Manotick, Ontario. Alex was 24.
In 1988 Alex began collaborating with his father-in-law, Ralph Baker, in the international sales and production of satellite recorder control systems. Alex's company, TeraScope, manufactured and installed the systems while Ralph led sales activities.

Alex later held senior management roles including Director of Business Development at Lansdowne Consulting Inc. and Director of Canadian Sales and Marketing at Marconi Canada.
Alex later acquired EXA Consulting from Ralph Baker and led the company for many years. Through EXA Consulting he directed proposal and capture teams competing for large and complex programs often valued in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
Alex's work allowed him to undertake extended assignments in several countries including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Thailand. Within Canada he worked on assignments in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montréal, and Halifax.
In 2023 Alex published the book Win Big The EXA Way: The Comprehensive Guide to Capture and Proposal Leadership.
Alex and Lisa had two daughters.
Source:From Alex McPhail:
Donald Alexander "Alex" McPhail was born in Paris, France under diplomatic immunity, and therefore he is registered as a Canadian citizen born abroad without dual citizenship. He moved many times as a child, as his father, Donald McPhail, was a successful career diplomat. At one year old, Alex moved with his family from Paris to the family homestead in Ottawa, Canada. Alex lived with his family in Geneva, Switzerland from 1964 to 1967, and in Caracas, Venezuela from 1970 to 1972. When his father was not on foreign postings, Alex lived at the Ottawa homestead, except for two years (1974-1976) when Alex lived in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada with his parents when his father took up a two-year job in Moncton.
Alex completed a Physics degree at the University of Waterloo in 1983, and he returned to Ottawa where he has lived since. He held several high technology jobs in software engineering before he started his own company, TeraScope in 1989. Alex also held senior management positions, first as director of business development with Lansdowne Consulting Inc., and later as director of Canadian sales and marketing with Marconi Canada.
In 1988 Alex joined forces with his father-in-law, Ralph Baker, and collaborated with Ralph in the international sales and production of satellite recorder control systems. Alex's company, TeraScope, manufactured and installed the systems while Ralph spearheaded sales. Alex eventually bought Ralph's company, EXA Consulting, and led the company for many years. Through EXA Consulting, Alex leads proposal teams that compete on major, complex programs, typically valued in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
Alex's jobs and businesses have allowed him to work in many foreign locations, sometimes for extended periods, including the U.K., France, Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia, USA, and Thailand. In Canada, he has worked on numerous assignments across the country, including Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax.
In 2023 Alex published his own book "Win Big The EXA Way: The Comprehensive Guide to Capture and Proposal Leadership." The book continues to sell in hardcover and e-book formats, and has emerged as the definitive authority on complex proposal leadership in Canada's defence industry.
A notable curiosity is Alex broke 9 bones before his 18th birthday. While in Geneva, he broke a leg, and then a collar bone in separate traffic accidents. In Ottawa he broke both legs, each leg in two places (accounting for 4 more breaks) in a single skiing accident. He broke his wrist when he fell while playing in the school yard, and broke his nose twice, once while playing football.
