73 Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Bouchette (1774-1841), the Commodore's son, was employed temporarily in the Surveyor- General's office in 1790, but in 1791 joined the Provincial Navy on the where he served for five years. He then served in the army until his appointment as Deputy Surveyor- General in 1802. In 1793 he made the first survey of the Harbour of York for Governor Simcoe . Luce Bouchette , the youngest daughter of the Commodore, married Frederick Rolette , son of Jean Joseph Rolette , a brother of Francois Rolette . He was an officer in the Navy and in the war of 1812 won distinction. In 1804 the office of Surveyor- General, which had been vacant since the death of Major Holland , was filled by the promotion of the Deputy, Lieutenant - Colonel Joseph Bouchette . He held this position until his death in 1841, when he was succeeded by his son Joseph Bouchette . In the account of the voyage of the Canseaux from England to Quebec , and from Quebec to Isle St . Jean, and in Holland's reports on his surveys in the Gulf of St. Lawrence , there is no mention of his wife. There is a tradition in the Holland family that John Frederick Holland , eldest son of Major Samuel , was the first child of British parentage born on the Island. This is corroborated by a statement made about fifty years ago by a descendant of a pioneer settler named Clarke, to the effect that his own great grandfather and great grandmother Clarke, came to the Island with Major Holland and his wife, and that his grandfather Clarke was born a few weeks after John Frederick Holland . There is also extant a fragment of a letter from Major Holland to General Haldimand in which he mentions his two boys, little "St. John's Jack" and " Henry." If John Frederick was born in 1764 then it is almost certain that the Major was married at Quebec in 1762 immedi¬ ately before leaving for England , as it is not probable that Mdle. Rolette would go alone to England in 1763. Samuel Holland established his house on St. John's Island at Observation Cove, afterwards known as Holland's Cove. This place is distant four miles south of Charlottetown at the west entrance to the harbour. He probably lived there during the time he was engaged on the survey of the shores of the Gulf and there two, if not more, of his children were born. His son, Frederick Braham , lived at Tryon River and there the widow of Major Samuel and her daughter Charlotte made their home after leaving Quebec . In 1770 his headquarters were at Kittery on the north side of the outlet of the , which forms the southerly part of the present boundary between Maine and New Hampshire . Between 1771 and 1773 he may have resided at Boston or some other point on the coast of Massachusetts for a short time, but there is no record of this. In 1773 he wrote from Quebec that he intended to make Amboy, New Jersey , his headquarters, a point distant only twenty-five miles from New York . When the American Revolution broke out in 1775 his house at Amboy was ransacked by the patriots, and burned. There is no record as to how his wife and family escaped, but they were probably given advance notice by friends and found means of reaching New York , which remained in the hands of the British throughout the entire period of the war.
