The Dalcys who occupied the point were possibly relatives of the alxivc mcntioncdjcrcmiah Dailcy . One membcrof this family, Patrick Daley , married Jane Mutch , daughter of Major Alexander Mutch of Mermaid , and this family later moved to Lot 16 . Their oldest son, William, was born at Doylcs Point in 1828.(Mutch 11) Dcsccndcnts of this Daley family still live in as I write. Doylcs Point was purchased from the heirs of Jeremiah Daley by Lieutenant Governor Edmund Fanning (second governor of P.E.I. ) in 1800. PEL LOT MAP James and Margaret probably spent their first married years in Charlotte- wn, possibly living with Margaret's family. Life in Charlottctown at that time a far cry from today. There were no streetlights, for example, and the only i light available to those travelling the streets after dark was thrown by windows [with lamps within. Also, many of the ditches were open sewers, which I overflowed during periods of heavy rain. Needless to say, James and Margaret [ probably didn't take many romantic strolls at night in Charlottctown. The I young couple was probably delighted to hear the news that Catholics were given the right to vote in 1830, news they might have heard from the town fcrier. Most likely they heard the news by word of mouth, since, like most Irish ■mmigrants, neither could read nor write. The post office pictured in the sketch on the next page, was situated on I , second house west from the corner of Prince . It was erected prior I to 1780, and although used as a post office for only a short time in the early ■800's, the building was known to survive into the 1930's. In the early 1800's, I|B list of those having mail at the post office was published in the newspaper. J The name James Doyle appeared on several occasions. This mail could have I originated in Ireland, or perhaps in the Boston area. (James' obituary requests ||lhat two Boston papers publish the death notice.) According to a book entitled Pioneers on the Island, at very high tide fthc river overflowed the land very nearly up as far as the post office. This same ■ source, in describing old Charlottetown , says "There was a town well on many ■corners... wooden pump with wooden troughs for watering horses." (Nrchaut IQ
