-46- son. Elizabeth Garforth died August 1791? age 16 days. She was probably the pioneer of hundreds of little ones who subsequently found a resting place in the old graveyard. The most interesting class of those buried here are the Loyalists. Some of them were comparatively wealthy. Their homes and property, with all their endearing associa¬ tions, were sacrificed by their allegiance to their mother country. In this category was John Gardiner , died 1842, aged 82 years. John was young when the American War closed in 1783," but would remember at his age all the leading events of the Revolution. Then we have Samuel Bagnall , cab¬ inet maker. Mr. and Mrs. Bagnall went from Staffordshire, England , to Philadelphia before the American War. Refusing to join the rebels, he was eventually taken and imprisoned for 18 months in Albany. At this time Mrs. Bagnall , with eight children, was at a place called Three Rivers, one hundred miles from her husband, totally unprotected. She lost not only her property, which was taken by the rebels and Indians," but with her children was often threatened to be scalped, and was actually present when several persons were killed. Mr. Bagnall was released from prison on giv¬ ing 2000 pounds bail. He stayed in Albany until the close of the war. He then went to Shelbourne, Nova Scotia , with the Loyalists, and then was induced to come to the Island. On arriving here he found Fanning as Governor, and Patterson preparing to leave. He applied to the Govern¬ ment for land which had been promised, but without success. Mr. Bagnall was father-in-law of William A. Rind who published the Royal Gazette and Miscellany, our first news¬ paper, father of James Bagnall who published the second pap¬ er "The Herald"; and grandfather of James D. Haszard who published the third "The Island Register,," James D. Haszard 's monument, defaced, states that he died April 1810, age 65. Two stones adjoining each other tell of the death of William Haszard of Bellevue in 1847» age 80 years, and Waitstill Haszard,, wife of James Douglas , Esq., Collector, who died in 1804, aged 33 years. These born in the now United States, were children of Thos. Haszard, a Loyalist , who came with them to the Island in 1785, after allowing his property worth S 20 000 to be confiscated rather than swear allegiance to the Stars and Stripes. The name of John Bovyer , another descendant of a Loyalist is seen among the tombs. He died June 1857, aged 69 years. He was a zealous member of the Wesleyan church.
