Extinct Homes

Early property owners, which are extinct today.

James Bryanton and family lived on the farm next to the present property of Wm. R. Thompson.

This farm is the beginning of the Margate District.

We have no knowledge of buildings near the road on this farm, but it is known that there was a house and barn, back from the road quite a distance.

One family that occupied this home for a few years was Mr. and Mrs. Ben DesRoches. He later moved to Long River.

The land was sold to Mr. John A. Thompson, Bill’s father, and an- other part to CC. Baker. Mr. Baker’s part is now owned by Andrew P. Johnson.

A home on the Keith Warren property was owned by Samuel Gly- don, brother of Frank Glydon. His wife was a Dennis. They moved to Western Canada.

Another home was located at the brook, on the Edwin Johnson property, today.

This was occupied by William B. Tupiln. His wife, Christina Rendle, came to P.E.I. in 1837. Later they moved to Kensington. Their son, Gordon married Fanny Haslam from Springfield.
