RESEARCH NOTES and UPDATES:
- About the Alfred James Compton and Jane Rogers family: From a little notebook that lists Rogers family births, deaths, and marriages (that I think may have been written by Jane herself) it has a listing of Alfred and Jane’s children, the birthdates agree with what you have on the website, but the eldest two children were born in Cambridge. The notebook gives their addresses at the time -
Janet Lisle Compton born in Cambridge. Number 6 Parker Street, Mass, October 28, 1883
Ethel M. Compton born in Cambridge Number 10 Banks Street Cambridge June 18, 1885
Medora W. Compton born St. Eleanors July 29, 1887
Ralph E. Compton born Jan 31, 1890 in St. Eleanors
I think your Compton information mentions that the eldest child Janet Lisle was a twin. Her mother Jane Rogers was also a twin. She and her sister Julia Rogers were born 23 August 1859.

Jane Compton 61 [living beside Rick and Fanny Hunt]
- 1930 mention in brother Thomas’s obit:
“…There are left to mourn besides his sorrowing widow, three sons and two daughters namely: Mrs. James Montgomery of Malpeque; Mrs. Lloyd Small of St Eleanors; Elmer in Coston, Alta., Lowell of Summerside and Reginald at home; also one sister, Mrs. Cunard in the United States and two brothers, Alfred in St Eleanors and Ernest in North St. Eleanors…”
- 1938 DEATH: age 82, about 3 months after his wife died.
- BURIAL: Rev. G.R. Harrison
RESEARCH NOTES and UPDATES:
- About the Alfred James Compton and Jane Rogers family: From a little notebook that lists Rogers family births, deaths, and marriages (that I think may have been written by Jane herself) it has a listing of Alfred and Jane’s children, the birthdates agree with what you have on the website, but the eldest two children were born in Cambridge. The notebook gives their addresses at the time -
Janet Lisle Compton born in Cambridge. Number 6 Parker Street, Mass, October 28, 1883
Ethel M. Compton born in Cambridge Number 10 Banks Street Cambridge June 18, 1885
Medora W. Compton born St. Eleanors July 29, 1887
Ralph E. Compton born Jan 31, 1890 in St. Eleanors
I think your Compton information mentions that the eldest child Janet Lisle was a twin. Her mother Jane Rogers was also a twin. She and her sister Julia Rogers were born 23 August 1859.
-
On 6 Nov 1882 when Alfred James was 26, he married Mary Jane* ROGERS, daughter of Jonathan Vernum ROGERS (1820-1899) & Jane CRAIG (1831-1879), in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, Prince Co., PEI, Canada. Born on 23 Aug 1859 in Boston, Mass., USA. Mary Jane* died in St Eleanors, Prince Co, PEI, Canada, on 9 Nov 1937; she was 78. Buried on 11 Nov 1937 in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, PEI, Canada.

Funeral of Mrs Alfred Compton St Eleanors
Passed away last Thursday at the age of 78 funeral was held on Thursday from her late residence for St.John's Church and was largely attended. Rev. Mr Harrison officiated.The Pall bearers were Roy Tanton,Reginald Compton,Leonard Pickering, Stanley Tanton,Burleigh Owen, and MAJOR MAY.
RESEARCH NOTES:
- Known as Jane, or perhaps Jean?
- I had thought that Jane Rogers was born in St. Eleanors because her father Jonathan Rogers had moved from Cape Cod to St. Eleanors and married Jane Craig of Malpeque PEI in 1858. Perhaps they travelled back to Massachusetts in the summer of 1859 for a visit?
- Legends: family may have connections to the Rogers Sugar family; may also be descended from Captain Rogers who came over (with other Roger relatives) on the Mayflower. He is “credited” with scalping the natives / indians, so in turn the indians started scalping the white man.

Lots of confusion because there were several Lisle Comptons over several generations, including 2 Janet Lisle Comptons (one born 1862, the daughter of Edmund Compton and Isabel Mary JaneTanton, who married Thomas Atkins, and the other born 1883 Cambridge Mass, the daughter of Alfred James Compton and Mary Jane Rogers, who married Henry Elliot). Much closer in age, there was a Lisle Compton Craswell baptised 21 Dec 1864 (first cousin to the Janet Lisle Compton born 1862 - their mothers were sisters):
- baptised as Janet Lisle Compton; name possibly Alice Lisle D. Compton?; two Lisles?
- Lisle named in father’s [Edmund’s] will, so this couldn’t be person who died 1880. Also 1881 census lists Lisle living in Edmund’s household, age 17.
- A[nother] Lisle Compton married [should read “was”] a Craswell. [This one died of consumption, age 18]. Obit says she was niece of Edmund Compton [Edmund’s wife was a Tanton, and Arthur Craswell’s wife was a Tanton (sister)]?!?
- There was a Lisle Compton who died 03-May-1880, of consumption, in Atchinson, KS, but this can not be the same person as she is listed as the niece of Edmond Compton. As well, the 1881 Census lists Lisle living with her father, Edmond's household, age 17. Lisle perhaps, married to Thomas Atkins, There was also a Lisle Compton married to a Craswell.
- From Rose: Janet 'Lisle' Compton birth, place and parentage ok, don't know about her
marriage. The Notes for isn't correct. Lisle Compton who died 3 May 1880 in
Atchinson, Kansas of consumption was in fact Lisle Compton CRASWELL.
Living there with her fathers sister and family, the Schurmans. Have copies of the
