- WORK: Farmer, High Sheriff of Prince County, PEI for a number of years.

- As reported in article on William Andrew, published1906 in "Past and Present of Prince Edward Island" book by B.F. Bowen & Co.: “He [Charles] has become the father of 9 children, 6 sons and 3 daughters of whom the subject of this sketch [William] is the 4th in order of birth. The latter [William] passed his school days in St. Eleanor’s, continuing his studies until his 16th year, when he engaged in clerking in a store at St. Eleanor’s, in which he remained 2 years. He then returned to the homestead, where he remained until attaining his majority, at which time his father [Charles] purchased the Hope farm and [William] located on it. About this time the subject of this sketch [William] married and bought the Alfred Compton farm and a portion of the Schurman property, thus coming into possession of 200 acres of as good farming land as can be found in this locality. He entered at once upon the active cultivation of these tracts and during the following years carried on a diversified system of farming in which he has been distinctively successful. During recent years he has done an extensive business in the raising and fattening of hogs, which he has found a profitable line of enterprise. The place is well improved with a neat and well arranged residence, substantial and commodious barns and other farm outbuildings, and is considered one of the most productive homesteads in Lot 17. Mr. Andrew and his son operate the properties jointly. Mr Andrew married Miss Harriet W. Compton, of St Eleanors, a daughter of Harry Compton, and a niece of Hubert C. Compton, and to this union have been born the following children: Alice, a professional nurse in Charlottetown; Albert Ed, a clergyman of the Episcopal church and located at Antigonish, Nova Scotia; Delores, engaged in clerking at Summerside; Horace, who owns the Benjamin Schurman farm of 100 acres at St. Eleanors; Isabel, a trained nurse; Fanny, Mabel, Sadie and Harry. In religion Mr. Andrew is a member of the Episcopal church in which he has served as an elder for many years and enjoys the sincere respect and the absolute confidence of all who know him.”

“100th Anniversary Service on Sunday ...

The afternoon service had a special significance as a bronze tablet was unveiled in memory of William Andrew, a member of the church and High Sheriff of Prince Count, and his wife, Harriet Washbourne Compton. The tablet was erected by the sons and daughters and their families. The tablet was unveiled by the youngest Andrew grandson Sydney William Andrew. The dedicatory ceremony was performed by the present rector, Rev. GR Harrison, who spoke in eloquent terms of theh love and devotion of those who had erected the tablet, not only as a memoriam to their beloved parents, but as a perpetual reminder of the service they have rendered to Christ and his church....

RESEARCH NOTES:
- year of birth varies with sources - 1848 or 1849

- Regarding the photo of William with his 2 oldest grandsons: I'm not sure what the occasion was. If the 2 boys were ages 4 and 2 (just barely) then the picture could have been taken at the time of William's daughter Fanny's marriage to Rick Hunt in Aug 1908. The next big occasion would have been William and Harriet's 40th wedding anniversary in Oct 1910 - that makes more sense to me, but the boys would have been 6 and 4 then. I'm not very good a guessing ages. Or it could have been taken during a visit from the grandkids who lived in Nova Scotia; William lived in PEI. I don't know why the boy's older sister wasn't including in the picture - she was William's oldest grandchild.

On 21 Jan 1890 when George Major was 38, he married Eliza Jane MACGOUGAN in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, Prince Co., PEI, Canada. Born on 8 Nov 1857. Eliza Jane died on 14 Nov 1945; she was 88. Buried in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, Prince Co., PEI, Canada.

- BIRTH: census shows 8 Sept 1857, headstone says 8 Nov 1856!
- Daughter of Neil McGougan of Hamilton, PEI
- TRAITS: twiddled thumbs!
- 1901 census gives Eliza date of birth as 08- Sept-1857
- Died age 84.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- NAME: Originally entered as McGougan; may have been McGuigan; or may start with Mac
- previously thought father may have been George MacGougan who came from Malpeque and operated a carriage shop in St. Eleanor's, PEI

RESEARCH NOTES
- Was he descended from Donald Campbell AKA Daniel who was a refugee around 1785 when he came to the Island of Saint John  ( now PEI) with his wife Margaret Fullerton and I think 2 children .  He had a mixed plantation in N Carolina and fled shortly after the Revolutionary War to Jamaica then later Shelburne NS and finally to Island of Saint John  where he was granted 500 acres in Lot 16.  His son William was also granted 500 acres and it said that he was already married when he came to the Island but wife's name was unknown.   [A loyalist-related letter is on file] Also there is a Thomas Compton Campbell his father was Donald AKA Daniel  would  be a son of the 1st Donald and it looks like he married a Jane Murray of North Bedeque at St Eleanors Mar 13 1812.  This was 32 yrs before the Daniel that you mentioned was born…?.

“Old Deed Cited
It is interesting to note at this point, that on an old deed, dated 1807 in which Colonel Compton leased lands to James and Charles Cresswell that he reserved to the French the right of egress and regress to their burial ground. An illustation showing the Church and idts boundary is in the corner of the deed. This is in the possession of Mrs. Henry W Compton a great grand-daughter of Colonel Compton. Tis was the Mission Church, which was afterward moved to Miscouche.”

- He had around 14 - 16 children. Children listed for Sam and Edith are May, Edith, Roy, Sydney, William (Billy) and Walter (all last name Morgan). All except Edith [and Harry] were likely step-children from first marriage?
