  • Notes 
    • D.G. Widden, “History of The Town Of Antigonish”; the casket, Aug 10,1934 States:
      Followed the sea for a time, but settled down on a farm in Bayfield.
      Buried in Heatherton old Cemetery.

      He resided at Bayfield, Nova Scotia. Ship captain and farmer. Children all baptized in the Anglican church at Bayfield. In 1871 they were listed in the census as “Presbyterian” the dominant protestant religion in Antigonish
      where William came from. In the 1881 census William was listed as “Baptist,” and wife Marcelina was listed as “Catholic,” and yet all the children were listed as “Church of England.”

      RELIGION: converted to Roman Catholic; Baptist [Census 1891]
      HOME: Bayfield, Antigonish, Nova Scotia [1886 voters’ list] Heatherton [Census 1891]
      BURIED: possibly Heatherton as wife is buried there.
