Samuel Hutchinson, a Jesuit priest, set sail from Glasgow, Scotland, to the New World, arriving on Prince Edward Island.
During the journey, he met Elizabeth Wilder, a remarkable young woman, and the two fell deeply in love.
Confronted with conflicting paths, Samuel chose to leave the priesthood and marry Elizabeth.
If not for their serendipitous meeting and the connection they shared, an entire family lineage might never have begun.
This is the tale of Samuel, Elizabeth, and all who followed them.
I am Samuel's great-great-great-great-great grandson, and I am the keeper of this record.
