of Cape Bear, and the Roberts family moved to Pictou, except Thomas, who went to Boston with'his family. Mary Ann who married David Rey- nolds lived all her life in Murray Harbour.

Next to Richard Jordan’s lived James Roberts and his wife who

was Sarah Cahoon. When Mrs. Roberts died, Mr. Roberts moved his fam- ily to Boston, and I believe William Harris bought the place and rented it.

Many people lived in the house at various times, until a Captain Samson Bowdridge and his family came up from Newfoundland and bought the place. He was always away at sea, and after a few years, he and his fam- ily moved to Sydney, Cape Breton, then Abraham Daley Jr. lived here for a short time, then moved to Whim Road. Herbert Williams bought it and he and his wife lived here a couple of years. Wallie White then bought the house and after a few years, James Herring moved to the Harbour where he was employed by the C.N.R. and Wallie bought his place, then Allan MacLeod and his wife bought the house and have owned it for the past fifty-six years. Allan has passed away.

Next to the MacLeod house is Wallace Humes, his wife Lois is the daughter of Joseph MacLeod and his wife, Who was Laura Dunn. Their house was built approximately seventy-five years ago by one James Penny (son of James Penny and Maria Millar). He married Janie Bennet and lived there a short time, then sold the house to John Stewart and his wife, who was Alfreda Jordan (Joshua’s daughter).

James Penny moved to Sydney. John Stewart and family, after several years moved to Murray Harbor district, then Wallace MacKay and his Wife, the former Elsie Sencabaugh, bought the place. After Elsie’s father died she and Wallace bought the mother’s home and sold their home to Wallace Hume. I presume, at one time, those lots were part of Joshua Jordan’s farm.

Next to Isaac Stewart’s, by the shore was Abraham Williams home- stead. His wife was Elizabeth Herring. They are mentioned in the Frank Herrings family. A grandson and wife, at present live on the same lot. Elliot and Wife have passed away. After Joshua Jordan’s Wife died, he did not farm again, he sold the remainder of his land between Elliot Wil- liams and the Allan MacLeods to Elliot Williams, and the land between the cemetery and the road to Wallace Hume.

We now have a fine new school. The old Temperance Hall has been moved here from Murray Harbour which we use for a Gospel Chapel Where Sunday School and services are held each sabbath. Four nice new dwelling houses are now erected on a farm. where one family used to live. None of Joshua nor Richard Jordan’s families settled on Beach Point. The land west of Joshua’s was settled first by Hugh Jackson, senior, and his Wife who was Ann MacKay. They had a large family, some settled
