Interesting History Attaches To H St. Stephens Church At Irishtown

By L. E. T.

In writing this sketch of St. Stephen's Anglican Church. or, as it was commonly called-"the Eng- lish Church,” we shall say first that it is situated in Irishtowli, Queens County, Prince Edward Island. on the corner of land where the Millman Road joins the Irlshtown Road leading to Park Corner to the north side of the Island. The land on which the church stand was set apart for a church and cemetery site by Mr. Thomas Millman under the terms of his lease years before the church was built. He bought the property outright in 1871.

The situation is strategic, being convenient to the different set- tlements which 'omprisc this part lof the New London parish.-Sea. View, Spring Valley, and Eel Creek. The latter name is now little used. as Burlington, or the Long River Road, has generally supplanted it. This church was opened for Di- vine worshlp in March of 1855 dur- ing the rectorship of the Rev- erend William Meek, soitahat. it has nearly reached the century mark.

D I C

It is rather a curious fact. but fact it is. that an English c urch should exist in a settlement ailed Irlshtown. Almost within a stone's throw of the church the following Irish families have4 lived, but be- fore we name them we shall say that the stone was never thrown: Patrick Brown, James (Martin) Murphy, James (Larry) Murphy, the brothers John and Simon For- rlstal, Matthias 0'1-lalloran, James Ready and family which included Michael. the egg-buyer, Charles Flynn, and John his brother who made salves and medicines from roots and herbs. These alone would make a creditable St. Pat- rick's Day parade.

ectlon lived the brothers Richard and Patrick Ready and their lain- i1ies,- Michael the blacksmith was a son of Patrick Ready.-and the Burke's and Costello's who were still earlier settlers. These good old Irish families and their English neighbors held their churches and their faiths in mut- ual respect; the boys.a.nd girls at- tended the same school built dir- ectly across the road from St. Stephen's Church, and the friend- liest relations existed between them.

I C C

There were men of education and culture in the settlement in those early days. John Forristal was the first teacher in Irishtown school and he later kept a small store near the school. Richard Ready taught school in Fermoy. managing his farm at the same time. His was a clever and mus- ical family. and many a happy evening was spent by old and young of in; community in that hospitable home where they were entertained with vocal and instru- mental music. The late James A. Ready, B.A., of Kc-nsingion, was a son.

It seems a great pity' that now only one descendant bearina the family n time, Willard Brown, grandson of Patrick Brown. is left of all the old Irish stock, The last member of the heady family sold the homestead in 1952 and moved to another district. one who spent the early days of his life in the Irishtown district. and who now lives in Kenslngton told the writer that he was glad to have had the privilege nt rzrowln: up in this settlement whr-re neighbor- ly helpfulness and cooperation was always practised.

That this feeling Ii-ill PIN-5 was evidenced lately in the Irish- town Communitv Hall project when

school district worked together in every possible way to have the Hall built. It is a modern build- ing, well equipped and a credit to the community.

Now for a.1lttle. information about the first English settlers whose descendants were later to build St. Stephen's Church. These men were much too busy cutting down the woods, clearing their farms, making a living for their families, usually large ones. to put down much in writing, but by re- ferring to the family Bible and making a bit of research here and there a little has been learned about some of them. One would naturally wonder how these Old Country folk ever heard of this slhali Island. Possibly some high pressure land agent went among them painting the now colony with its forest and fisheries in glowing: colors. So, to improve their sit- uation. as they thought. they came with their wives and families and sweethearts. their grandfather clocks and feather beds, in the holds of sailing Vessels.

In 1774 a project headed by Olif' Robert Clark of London brought out a shipload of settlers from England in the Snow Elizabeth. They landed at the harbour and built up a little village of some sixteen lug houses along the shore. naming the settlement New London and the village Ellzabethtown. The MacGregor map of 1830 has Eliza- bethtown marked on it, There were 129 souls all told in the set- tlemcnt. According to one who made a study of the early days this Clark project was the origin of the Anderson, Adams. Cole and, Warren families. the last of whom definitely belonged to the Church

of England. 0

In the Yank:-e .Hill Cemetery overlooking New London I-larbour there are two stones with the fol- lowing inscriptions: "Sacred to the memory of John Adams Sr. and Sarah his wife who emigrated from Hilltown, Derbyshire, England, A. D 1774. He dc-parted this life 7th of May 1815 aged 81 years." "Sac- red to the memory of Sarah Ad- ams who departed this life .'ird of Jan. 1826 aged 94 years. These two stones were erected to their son Thomas." In the little cemetery in the Sims field it short distance from the Yankee Hill Cemetery is a stone with the following inscription; "Sacred to the memory of John Adams, native of Dorbyshlrt-, who departed this life Mar, 18. 1343. and also five children on the wright, erected by his son Thom- as."

Evidently these two men were frtthcr and son. Keith Adams nf Burlington, has a deed written on parchmont. perfectly preserved, of a sale of 150 acres of land with use of the marshes, made between John Adams and Chief Justice Peter Stewart of Charlottetown in 1805. The purchase price was 575.

Samuel Cunard of Halifax at onr timc owned parts of Lots 1') and 20. Hr was an absentee land- lord, never having lived on the Isiand. Settlers who later came in this vicininty leased their farms from the Cunard estate. John Arl- ams nrtver lived on this particular property. His house was sum!- where in New London. but accord- ing to the family stories they (mm: by boat and cut marsh hay in thr- summer. putting wooden platforms under little stacks, and on the ice in winter loading the stacks on wood sleight-. The rlvrr was the only thoroughfare in those days.

A story is told of one of the Adnms women who refusori to lmvc her child pbaptiud bv a clergyman of "another faith. This particular clrrgyman made an annual trip

among the early settlers and would baptize their children if they so desired, Some parents were glad to accept his services, but not this lady (it may have been Sarah montioned above). She took her Clllld to Charlottetown to be but!- tized in the church of her fathers It would be interesting to know ii that baptism is rccorded in thl registers of St. Paul's Church Charlottetown. As the first on- tries were mating in 1770 it. well might be. Keith Adana of Bur- lington is a direct descendant oi these men. The home has always been in the l)orscs.nion of some members of the Adams family The grandfatlter clock brought from England is in his home and is in good condition. Bruce Ad- aims of Now London is also a dir- ect descendant. tTn be Continued)
