was accepted in 1820 by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel as a missionary. After ordination to the diaconate, possibly by the Bishop of St . David's, he sailed for Quebec where he had received the appointment of assistant to the Rector, G. J. Mountain . Because of bad weather he was unable to reach Quebec and wintered instead on Prince Edward Island . Here he made himself useful to the Church and visited to the westward. His first entry in the register of the Parish of Richmond and . David, in which St . Eleanor's was situated, was the record of a baptism on January 14, 1821. Later in the year he married a daughter of the Rector of Charlotte, Theophilus Desbrisay . He eventually succeeded in reaching Quebec where he was ordained priest by Bishop in March, 1822. On his return to the Island in 1823 he served temporarily in Charlottetown and gave occasional services to St . Davids. In the late summer of 1824 he moved to St. Eleanors where he remained for four years. From 1828 to 1854 he was Rector of St . Paul's, Charlottetown . After his resignation he continued to live in Charlottetown for a generation. He died in November, 1884. During his connection with St . Eleanor's Mr. Jenkins ministered to the spiritual needs of the people of the later formed Parish of New London . On two occasions during his ministry in Charlottetown he entertained the idea of leaving the Capital to become missionary at New London but practical con¬ siderations prevented him from doing so. He occasionally wrote poetry. De¬ scendants of Louis Charles Jenkins live in Charlottetown today. WILLIAM WALKER William Walker , son of an officer in the 40th Regiment, was born July 31, 1802, at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia . He matriculated to King's College, Windsor, in 1818 and graduated in 1822. After his ordination to the diaconate in 1826 he ministered for a short time at Cornwallis and at St. Margaret 's Bay. In 1827 he was priested by Bishop John Inglis and was sent to St . Paul's, Charlottetown , to officiate during a vacancy. When L. C. Jenkins was appointed to St . Paul's in 1828 William Walker replaced him at St . Eleanor's and 'remained there until 1830. During these years the first St . Thomas Church, New London , was built. In 1830 Mr. Walker was appointed to the Parish of Hampton, New Brunswick , an incumbency which he held until his resignation fifty-three years later. He died in St. John in 1889 and is buried in St . Paul's Cemetery , Hampton. From his marriage to Ann Woodward in 1834 several children were born, including three sons who entered the ministry of the Church. Bishop Medley made him a Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Fredericton . Canon Walker, as a descendant of Elizabeth Pendrel , received a royal pension granted to that family after the Restoration in 1660. The pension was given because the Pendrels offered refuge to Prince Charles after the battle of Worcester, 1651, and aided his flight to the continent. The fine home built by Canon Walker adjacent to the church in Hampton and occupied by him for a time as a rectory is called Penderell (sic) Place. Further information about 'Parson' Walker may be obtained from a parish history written by the Reverend E. Vincent Martin, and from an historical address delivered on the occasion of the 100th, anniversary of the parish, September 11, 1910, by the Reverend Millidge Walker. ABRAHAM VAN GUELDER WIGGINS Abraham Van Guelder Wiggins, grandson of Stephen Wiggins a Loyalist , son of Jacob Wiggins and his wife Elizabeth Slocum , was born August 13, 1804. He matriculated to King's College, Windsor, in 1823, and received his A.B . in due course. (The records of King's College, Fredericton , show him as a B.A . of that institution in 1830). In 1841 his Windsor Alma Mater conferred on him the degrees of B.C.L . and D.C.L. In 1830, when he had attained priest's orders, he was appointed to the Parish of St . Eleanor's, and he remained there until 1851. During these years he ministered at New London when that mission was vacant. On Nov. 2, 1831, he married Ellen Diane Townshend, daughter of the Hon. William Townshend , in St . Paul's, Charlottetown . He had a large fam¬ ily, as the St . Eleanor's register faithfully testifies. Two of his sons entered the ministry of the Church. He resigned from St . Eleanor's in 1851, and was inducted to the parish of Maugerville, N.B. , in 1853. He resigned in 1860 and died when on a visit to St . Eleanor's, May 26, 1865. It is presumed that he was 61
