| 3969 | The Halifax Herald Tue, Feb 15, 1887 ·Page 4 DEATH OF CAPT. FRED. CURRY. ----- One of Hants County's Most Famous Sea Captains and Shipbuilders. (From the Windsor Tribune.) By the death of Capt. Frederick Curry, Hants county has lost one of its most enterprising and wealthy shipowners. Capt. Fred, as he was generally termed by his numerous friends, was a son of Thomas Curry, who was a tenant of the Bayfield estate then owned by the father of the late Col. Butler. He was born in 1812. Several years ago the Capt purchased from the Butler estate for $20,000 the farm on which he was born. He was one of a family of eight children, seven sons and one daughter. His brother, Capt. Thomas Curry, of Windsor, also a ship owner, the father of the present liberal candidate for Hants, was also very successful in his business and died in 1874. Captain Fred was one of the most wealthy men in the county, being estimated to be worth over $300,000, all of which he made by his own pluck and energy. Besides his vessels he was a large owner of bank stock, also owned extensively in the Halifax sugar refinery, cotton factory, besides being a large owner of real estate. His only two surviving brothers are Edward Curry, farmer, who resides near Windsor and for several years has been blind from cataract, and James Curry also a farmer. Capt. Fred Curry married the daughter of Nicholas Mosher, of Avondale, shipbuilder. His family consists of three sons, Capt. Nicholas, Frederick and Rufus, and one daughter Mary, the wife of Rev. C.M. Tyler, Weslyan minister, now stationed at Maitland. The captain from an early age followed the sea. After his marriage he resided at Avondale. He retired from the sea about thirty years ago and has since that time been engaged in shipbuilding, and built some of the finest vessels that ever sailed the ocean. We have been informed that the first vessel Capt. Curry commanded was the brig Ready Rhino, owned by James Fletcher of Wentworth. This was about the year 1841. After that he sailed in the employ of Capt. John Duncan, and afterwards for Bennett Smith. The names of some of the vessels Capt. Curry was master of in those days were the brigs Mars and Alpine, barque Levant, ship Humber, and ship Squando, all being well known vessels and profitable. The names of some of the vessels he has built and owned the past 25 years are ship Juno, barque Simcoe, barque Venus, ship Summer, ship Joseph, ship Arklow, ship Tuscar, ship Algoma. Capt Curry was a man of fine physique, being over six feet in height and stout in proportion, of attractive appearance and manner. He bore the weight of age lightly, although 75 years old one would not take him to be 65. Perhaps no Nova Scotian sea captain was better known in shipping circles in Liverpool, London and New York, as since his retirement from sea, he occasionally visited those ports where by his genial manner he made hosts of warm friends. Capt. Curry was a liberal in politics and took rather an active part. In 1871 he contested the county with the late W.D. Lawrence of Maitland, in opposition to Messrs. Allison and McDougall, for a seat in the local legislature, but was unsuccessful. Capt. Curry came to Windsor the middle of December to be near his medical adviser. Previous to that he had been complaining of ill health. The disease partook of a gangrenous form involving the whole of the right foot. The disease remained stationary until February 1st, when symptoms of blood poisoning manifested themselves, and from that date he rapidly grew worse, and on Thursday evening he calmly passed away, surrounded by his wife and family. During his illness Dr. Gossip, his physician, held several consultations with Dr.'s Black, Weeks, Parker and Farrell, but all medical skill could do was to no avail. Capt. Curry was a gentleman known to all in this community and much respected. He possessed many good qualities, both as a business man and a citizen, and leaves a blank in business circles not easily filled. ------------------------ The Halifax Herald Mon, Mar 07, 1887 ·Page 3 CAPT. FRED CURRY'S WILL. The will of the late Capt. Frederick Curry, of Avondale, was probated a few days ago. Following are the principal bequests: To his wife Sarah Jane Curry, the homestead at Avondale, all the plate and household effects, for her own sole use, and the sum of $1,000 per annum for her life time, the principal set apart for this purpose on the demise of his wife to be divided equally among his children. To his son Nicholas Curry a lot of land and premises and two lots of dyke land at Avondale, together with the interest on the sum of $20,000. To his son Frederick Curry, the house and lot of land at Avondale, also the property in Windsor known as the Hall estate, also four acres of dyke land in Windsor, also the sum of $20,000. To his daughter Mrs. Tyler, the sum of $20,000. To his brother Edward Curry, the sum of $100 per annum during his life. To his brother James Curry, the sum of $100 per annum durying hi life. To his sons Nicholas and Frederick, one half of the schooner now building at Avondale, which he directs to be completed by the estate. To his grandchildren, the sum of fifteen hundred dollars. To his son Rufus Curry, all the rest and residue of real estate and property including the Martock estate, Windsor, and all the real estate not herebefore mentioned, all the ships, shipping, mortgages, stocks, etc. The will is dated December 30th, 1886, and the executors are his wife and sons, Rufus and Frederick. The inventory of the estate is $180,000. | CURRY, Capt. Frederick (I6436)

| 3974 | The Halifax Herald - Mon. Aug 16, 1886 A Hants Family Drowned. A sad account of the drowning of the famly of Wellington Marsters at Portland, Maine, was recently published in the Herald. Mr. Marsters belonged to Scotch Village, Hants, and moved to Portland about three years ago. He has a sister living at Hantsport, Mrs. Chisholm. Miss Weir, a sister of Mrs. Marsters, is residing at Eliza P. Harris', Windsor. The Whitten and Cleveland children who were drowned were all grand children of Wellington Marsters. They were out on a pleasure excursion, intending to spend the day on one of the islands of the harbor, when the accident occurred. ----------------- Article Published - August 5, 1886 in the New York Times Seven Persons Drowned Sad Ending of a Day’s Pleasure in Portland Harbor Portland, Me., Aug. 4. - This morning, about 8 o’clock, a merry party left the wharf for a day’s sail among the islands. They occupied two small open sailboats, and in all numbered 15 persons, as follows: Welling Masters and wife, John R. Cleveland and wife, James Whitten and wife, Emma and Harry Cleveland, children of J. R. Cleveland; Benjamin, Maud, James, and Owen Whitten, children of James Whitten; and the members of the family of Edward Masters, Misses Linny and Maud Masters and James (should be Jane or Janie) Masters. Mr. and Mrs. Whitten also had with them a young baby. All the members of the party were related to each other. The morning was pleasant, but a cool breeze, blowing across the water from the northwest, came in treacherous flaws. Welling Masters had charge of one of the boats, a Hampden boat having but one sail. Mrs. Masters was in this boat with her husband, and with them were James Masters, Emma and Harry Cleveland, Maud Whitten, Benjamin Whitten and their older brother, James. The remainder of the party were in the boat under the charge of Mr. Cleveland. All went well until about 9:30, when the two boats were some distance beyond the wharf of the Diamond Island Company on Great Diamond Island, both being near the shore and Mr. Cleveland’s boat some distance ahead of the other. Mr. Cleveland looking around for the other boat, saw her in the act of coming about. She rolled from side to side and suddenly, right before the eyes of the occupants of the other boat, turned completely over. One of the ladies screamed that the boat had been capsized, but Mr. Whitten who had also seen the accident, pointed out another boat a short distance away , and for a moment the women were satisfied that it was the boat containing their friends. Mr. Cleveland at once made for the shore, but before he could render assistance to the occupants of the other boat all but one were beyond help. The returning boat first encountered floating upon the surface of the water the body of Wellington Masters and this was taken on board. The ladies and children in the boat could no longer be deceived as to the accident. Some distance away was floating the upturned boat, and shortly after the body of Mr. Masters was reached. Jamie Whitten was seen swimming in the direction of the capsized boat nearly exhausted. The boy was taken on board and the boat then made a landing. The boy saved is the only survivor of the occupants of the boat, and he alone can tell how the accident occurred. He said that as the boat approached in shore she was put about, but the centreboard, which had been drawn up while the boat was running before the wind , was not lowered. The wind filled the sail as the boat was turning and she rolled from one side to the other and then turned completely over, plunging those in her into the water. James swam toward the shore. he looked back once and saw his grandfather and Emma Cleveland standing on the boat’s bottom. When only a short distance from shore young Whitten turned and retraced his course, swimming toward the boat. Before he reached there, however, he was picked up by the other boat nearly worn out. Either from the excitement or possibly a desire on the part of Mr. Masters to see if he could aid any of the others, he and Mrs. Cleveland attempted to stand upright on the insecure floating boat and when the first heavy wave washed over the boat they were again thrown into the water, and were drowned before assistance could reach them. When Mr. Cleveland, after landing those person in his boat, looked back, there were three bodies floating upon the surface of the water. Help now arriving, the boadies were brought ashore, that of the old lady, Mrs. Masters being the first to be recovered, and then those of Emma Cleveland and Janie Masters. The ladies made every effort to resuscitate the children, but their efforts were useless. Following is a list of the persons lost, with their ages: Wellington Masters, 71 years Mrs. Jane Masters, 69 years Jane Masters, 9 years Emma Cleveland, 12 years Harry Cleveland, 7 years Maud Whitten, 12 years Benjamin Whitten 7 years Of these the bodies of the first four mentioned were recovered. The bay is being dragged for the bodies of the others. The place where the accident occurred is one of the worst along the coast being exposed to gusts and flaws between the island. Mr. Masters had had experience in the management of keelboats, but not of centreboards. Coroner Gould will hold an inquest tomorrow morning. ------------------ The Times Record Brunswick, Maine · Saturday, August 07, 1886 A Quadruple Funeral The funeral of Wellington Marsters, his wife Mrs. Jane Marsters, their daughter Jane, Emma Cleveland and Benjamin Whitten (whose body was recovered yesterday noon,) five of the seven persons drowned August 4th, by the upsetting of a sail boat off Great Diamond Island, took place from the Congress street M.E. church at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The church was filled with relatives, friends and acquaintances of the deceased. The five caskets, on each of which loving hands had laid floral offerings, made into various designs, appropriate to the age of the silent occupant, were placed side by side in front of the sacred desk - a touching and solemn spectacle. Rev. Ezra Ticker, paster of the church, read select passages of Scripture and offerred an earnest and heartfeld prayer. Feeling remarks were made by Rev. Mr. Crosser and Rev. Mr. Adams. Appropriate hymns were sun by the select choir. The remains were carried out to the five waiting hearses, and the mourning procession moved on to Forest City cemetery where the bodies were buried. Never before, it is believed, in this city, has been witnessed the spectacle of five hearses in one funeral procession. - Argus. | MARSTERS, Wellington (I24611)

| 3981 | The late Thos. Faulkner. (From Truro Guardian, Dec. 27) The death of Thomas Faulkner of Folly Village occurred very suddenly on the 18th inst. He left his home in his usual health on Thursday the 15th inst., to take a grist to Mr. Gould's mill at Great Village. Whilst waiting for his grist he took dinner with his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gould. After dinner he went out to the mill where he was suddenly seized with paralysis of the brain and died three days after. His remains were brought home and the funeral took place on Tuesday. The church in Folly Village was filled with friends and neighbors drawn together by respect for the dead and sympathy for the bereaved family. Rev. N. McNichol conducted the services, discoursing fittingly from the words "To live is loss and to die is gain." The audience was deeply moved by the solemn words of the preacher. The deceased was a man of sterling character, a citizen that will be greatly missed both in church and state. He was a most correct and upright business man; he commenced life on a small farm, which he tilled well, became a ship-owner to some extent and was very successful. He leaves eight children, six sons and two daughters. Two sons are master mariners, one having charge of the ship "Thomas Faulkner." Another son is a well known business man in Halifax and has the charge of Dunn, Wiman & Co.'s agency there. Two other sons are in Seattle, and one is studying at Pictou Academy. The oldest daughter is the wife of G. Fred Carver, of Windsor, N.S., and the other daughter teaches in the Academy, Sydney, C.B. Mr. Faulkner leaves behind him a fragrant memory, which will be long cherished by all his neighbors and acquaintances. His life, as a business man, friend and neighbour, might be copied with advantage. | FAULKNER, Thomas (I24827)

"Sir Lancelot apparently left no will, but in 1635, George´s cousin, CHRISTOPHER LOWTHER noted in his diary that 'Sir Lancelot was "considering leaving the estate to George´s elder brother, the Reverend Lancelot Lowther of Kirkby Thore" adding that he might change his mind and had, in any case, decided to give George 50 pounds a year `during his (Sir Lancelot´s) life. That Sir Lancelot did change his mind is known, because in a document of 1659, George is described as `late of Screene´ in Ireland, deceased.´´ "Also, this George married Frances Piers first, the daughter of Henry Piers of Tristernagh, County Westmeath, and granddaughter of Archbishop Thomas Jones of Dublin. Henry Piers was an eminent traveler, and wrote an account of his travels in 1595 on the continent. George's estate at Skreen consisted of some 300 acres and included the remains of an ancient abbey as well as the castle (or fortified house) where Sir Lancelot spent his last years. George died at some date before 1659 leaving three sons: Edward, Lancelot, and William; and two daughters who are mentioned without names in Sir Gerard II's will." Regarding the Irish Branch of the Lowthers, in Chapter Eleven of the Lowther Family by Hugh Owen, on page 132 he states: The branch of the Lowther family known as the Irish Branch stems from George the youngest son of William Lowther of Ingleton and youngest grandson of the Elizabethan, Sir Richard Lowther (1532-1608) Members of this branch sat in the Irish House of Commons in Dublin.

Also, the 1910 and subsequent censuses show Henry Mathern with a different wife named Anna. | Family: MATHERN, Henry John / MOSHER, Sarah E. (F8809)

| 3994 | The Marske parish burial record states "He came out of Netherdale (now called Nidderdale) some months before with a wife and 3 sons and a daughter where he had been a smelter. Pauper."There was a 'Manor of Netherdale' which was located at Ramsgill which is about 20 miles south of Leyburn. There was even a 'Netherdale Mining Company' there.Here is a quote from a book about the effects on the men who worked in the lead smelters."... He spoke of the ill effects of the lead fumes on the smelters, many of whom died in their early forties due to contracting a lung disease. A miner himself, he said that the higher wages did not tempt him to work in the mill." - The Lead Smelting Mills of the Yorkshire Dales and Northern Pennines. R. T. Clough, 2nd Ed. 1979 | Source (S386)

| 3995 | The Marske parish record of Ann's burial says she was the wife of Edward Ward of Stanhope in Weardale. Maybe she was in Marske visiting relatives, perhaps a son. In the Hearth Tax list of 1666 there is an Edward Ward living in the area of Muggleswick, which is only 8 miles north of Stanhope. This is very likely the same Edward. | UNKNOWN, Ann (I7157)

| 3996 | The middle initial M is most likely for 'Mosher' although I have not seen it documented. - Nicholas was a blacksmith and operated a shop in Windsor (1871 Business Directory Map) - buried in Maplewood Cemetery, Windsor, NS plot 06 8N - inscription reads "At Eventide there shall be light WARD Nicholas WARD 1818 - 1889 His Wife - Sarah CALDWELL 1830 - 1913 Jeanette WARD Wife of Walter Harris 1865 - 1914 Other Side Annie E. Ward Died Mar 17, 1937 Aged 88 yrs 'Though lost to sight, to memory dear" Looking into the possibility that Nicholas was married to Sarah's (possibly twin) sister Mary Ann CALDWELL first. And since Mary Ann died in 1846, it fits well. She may have died giving birth to Nicholas' twins Amy and Mary Maria | WARD, Nicholas M. Esq (I287)

| 3997 | The name HODGSON is found in censuses from 1841 at Orgate. This raises the possibility that William Hodson's wife Lucy Ward may have inherited the house at Orgate which back as far as Symond Ward (of Orgate) may have owned. | HODGSON, William (I1689)

| 3998 | The name of their 2nd son, Edward, establishes Hellen's father as Edward Warde. | BROADBELT, Edward (I7852)
|
| 3999 | The naming of their first son 'Solomon' suggests Mary Ann's father's name was Solomon Johnson. There was a Solomon Johnson who served in both the French and Indian War and the Albany Militia with a Capt. John Scott. Also serving under Capt. John Scott was Abraham Bloodgood, a relative of the Bloodgood that John Scott's grandaughter married. | JOHNSON, Mary Ann (I3443)
