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.”

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…?.

Agriculturist - 12 July 1919, page 5, col. 1
The death of Mr. Henry Compton, which occurred at his home in North St. Eleanors on Tuesday afternoon, removes one of the most prominent farmers in that district, and indeed in the whole county, and a man who held the deepest respect of all who knew him. The deceased, who was 60 years of age, was a son of the late Harry Compton, and was a descendent of one of the early English pioneers who came to this province in the early days. Mr. Compton had been in failing health for some time, and he recently entered the Prince County Hospital for treatment, but his illness was too far advanced and he left the hospital last week. A sorrowing widow survives, to whom The Agriculturalist extends deepest sympathy. The funeral was held on Thursday afternoon, burial in St. John Cemetery, St. Eleanors.

- 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?
