GEOGRAPHIC BOARD OF CANADA 39 James Murray , born in 1719, was fifth son of Alexander, fourth Lord Elibank , and of Elizabeth, daughter of George Stirling , M.P . for Edinburgh. He entered the army in 1740. . Attached to the 15th Foot , he served with his regiment in the , in Flanders, in Brittany , and made lieutenant colonel January 5, 1751, commanded the 15th in the Rochefort expedition of 1757. The same year he took his regiment out to America, and served at the siege of in 1758. One of the three brigadiers at Quebec , under Wolfe, his "old antagonist," who had a high opinion of him, he commanded the left wing of the army at the battle of the Plains, September 13, 1759. Quebec surrendered September 18, 1759, and Murray was left in command. He spent the winter fortifying the place. In the spring Levis advanced against Quebec , and Murray gave him battle at Ste . Foy, but was defeated by the French superior force. The appearance of an English squadron forced Levis to raise the seige, and Murray proceeded with his troops to Montreal to join the invading army under Amherst , to whom Montreal surrendered with all Canada . On October 27, 1760, Murray was appointed governor of Quebec , and on November 21, 1763, governor of Canada . He established the civil government in 1764. He returned to June 28, 1766, but retained his title rill April 12, 1768. Murray, who had been made colonel commandant of a battalion of the 60th, October 18, 1759, was promoted to be major general, July 10, 1762, and lieutenant general May 25, 1772. In 1774 he was appointed governor of Minorca. He was besieged at Fort St. Philip , in 1871, by the Due de Crillon with a French and Spanish army. Crillon secretly offered a bribe of a million sterling and a French title to surrender the place. Murray spurned the proposal. After a five months' siege, his garrison was reduced by the ravages of scurvy to a few hundred men fit for duty, and he had to surrender February 5, 1782. On his return to England , Murray was courtmartialled, but fully and honourably acquitted. The King expressed his appreciation of Murray's conduct. He was made a full general February 19, 1783, and became governor of Hull. He died at his residence, Beaufort Hall, near Battle, Sussex, June 18, 1794, and is buried in Westminster Abbey. Major-Gen. R. H. Mahon , Murray's biographer, says: "His greatest glory was that he sacrificed himself to befriend the Canadians oppressed by a government too short-sighted to see the immense part which Canada played as an integral part of the empire—-a part which the events of 1914 to 1918 have demonstrated to the full." "Should be better known as one of the makers of the Dominion of Canada , if not as the chief builder." Muttock; point, lot 57. Chart , 1846. Nail; pond and head, lot 1. Sandy inlet on Holland, .1765. Nail pond is found in 1834, in Bayfield "Sailing Directions," 1847, on Cundall, 1851, on Admiralty chart, 1855, and all later maps. Neals pond on map, 1850. A tradition that early settlers were able to procure nails from a ship wrecked in the pond cannot be verified. Very probably Neal is the correct name. On January 26, 1833, a petition was presented to the House of Assembly from the inhabitants of lots 1 and 2, "praying aid for putting a road from Neal's pond towards Cascumpec and to join the road lately opened between Cascumpec and Kildare , Tignish , Kildare bridge," etc. Narrow; creek and point, lot 55.

Pichon, Lettres et Memoires, 1760, relates that the name "etang du Naufrage " (shipwreck pond) was given following the wreck of a French ship on the coast, several passengers from which got safely ashore here and were the first to settle at St. Peter bay.

Epps Cormack, the Newfoundland explorer. (McGregor, "British America," 1833.) In "The Beothucks or Red Indians; the Original Inhabitants of Newfoundland ," Cambridge , 1915, J. P. Howley gives biographical details of Cormack, quoting "The British Columbian" of May 9, 1868, which states that "in 1818 he took a party of immigrant farmers in two vessels from the British Isles to Prince Edward Island ; and twelve years later he interested himself in establishing an export trade m gram from the same island." Cormack, who was born at St. John's, Newfoundland , in 1796, but taken by his parents to Scotland about seven years later, where he was educated at the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, crossed Newfoundland m 1822. In 1827 he established, in St. John's, a society called the Beothuck Institute, to befriend these aborigines, and the same year made a journey through part of the interior seeking these Indians, but they had all died. In 1829 he left Newfoundland finally and went to Australia where he became a tobacco planter. In 1839 he was in New Zealand engaged m the pasturing and raising of cattle. Subsequently he migrated to California and finally to British Oolumhia, where he died in 1868 at New Westminster.
