Of the children, Catherine married William Burke, the Stanhope ferryman, and they had a possible total of ten children, born between 1778 and 1797. They leased 100 acres of land from Sir James Montgomery around Mill Creek, later moving to Charlottetown Royalty; see the Burke family history.

Alex Jamieson was drowned in Tracadie Harbour on April 11, 1771 together with John MacLaughlin. They were coming from fforten (Fortune) with some rume and Molasses 5 gallons of Rume at 4/- per gallon and 5 gallons of Molasses at 2/6 per gallon on. (David Lawson, in A Coppy of my M isfortunes).

Jean J amieson married Lawrence Brown, and with their thirteen children founded the Brown dynasty (see their family history). We have found no record of land or a lease for Jamieson in Stanhope; perhaps John lived with one or other daughter and son-in-law. In the Brown Family History by Charles McGregor it is stated that John Jamieson, together with three other settlers settled on a block of land in Western Covehead .

JARVIS

Two members of this family lived in Stanhope, Daniel Jarvis and his nephew Angus.

Daniel was the youngest child of Samuel Jarvis (1832-1912) and his wife Flora MacCormack (1841-1908), and he married Margaret Gallant of South Rustico. They were caretakers at the Cliff Hotel in the 19203;_in his verse, “A Soliloquy”, Sam Hill, the Covehead poet, refers to them as.... Maggie Ann, and her worthy consort Happy Dan at the Cliff on the old North Shore. Their daughter, Mrs. Helena

Pineau of Rusticoville, gave us some very interesting details on early times at the Cliff Hotel.

(Samuel) Angus Jarvis was the eldest son of Thomas Jarvis, (1860s-1942), and his wife Mary Catherine MacAskill of Mount Stewart; Thomas was the son of Samuel and Flora (MacCormack) Jarvis and the elder brother of Daniel above. Angus was born in 1887 and died in 1960 in Souris. He married Elizabeth Adams of Dublin, Ireland and they had nine children. They came to Stanhope from Charlottetown in 1911-12, and left here for North Lake in 1920. They lived in the old Ross homestead on the Bayshore Road and 5 of their children were born here. Children: — Daniel, Earl, Gertrude, Kathleen, Margaret, Dorothy, John, Christina, Elizabeth.

Angus fished with Will Ross and was by all accounts an excellent fisherman, and is credited with saving the life of more than one fellow fisherman in stormy seas.
