Mr. MacQuarrie was twice married, first to Alice Nicholson, from which union four children were born: Harold, Franklin, Helena, George.

After Mrs. MacQuarrie’s demise, David later married Sarah Daw— son, a former native of Crapaud. Their family consisted of four children, two of whom are now living: Louis, residing in Montreal, and Zilpha, Mrs. James Smith, in Charlottetown.

It is interesting to note that Mrs. MacQuarrie’s father, the late William Dawson, was one of the early settlers in Crapaud, having lived on the property now in possession of LeRoy Howatt; and, because of the few residents, compared with the large number of frogs, staging har- monious concerts, he nicknamed it “Frogmore.”

In 1828, John Moore and his wife, Maria Crisp, with their sons, William and James (who was 9 years old), left Suffolk, England in the Barque “Fanny”. Their destination was the New England States, but their friends, the “Barretts” and “Coles”, were coming to P. E.
