     Jabez Pridham married Ada Jane Curtis in 1875 and lived at this 
     
     corner shortly after his marriage. He operated a blacksmith shop which was 
     
     eventually hauled to the Horace Huestis home (1979) and referred to as the 
     
     “Pridham Place." Prior to 1880 Jabez had moved, and he later moved to 
     
     the Lyman Huestis farm (1979). Details on the Pridhams are given in the 
     
     discussion of that property. 
     
    
   
   
    
     CORISH 
     
    
   
   
    
     Charles Corish (1817-1895) married Martha Lefurgey (1839-1886), 
     
     daughter of James and Rachel Lefurgey. They are believed to have lived on 
     
     the Reynolds property, as seems logical since Martha‘s family owned the 
     
     property. Few facts are known about this family but the census taken in 
     
     1881 reveals that Charles was of lrish descent, and that he and Martha had a 
     
     large family. The family must have been saddened indeed by the death of 
     
     Martha. The Summerside Journal records in January, 1886, that Mrs. 
     
     Corish died at the age of forty-seven years, after one week's illness, with in- 
     
     flamation of the lungs. A husband and seven children were left to mourn 
     
     her loss. The children were: 
     
    
   
   
    
     Sophia Jane(Mar. 14, 1860) 
     
     Mary Ann (Jan. 7, 1862) 
     
     Rachel (Oct. 17, 1863) 
     
     James (1865) 
     
    

    
     Barbara (1868) 
     
    

    
     Elizabeth (1870) 
     
    

    
     Margaret (1872) 
     
    
   
   
    
     Charles and Martha are buried in the Wilmot Valley Cemetery. 11 was 
     
     noted in the account of the Stephen Huestis family that they took Betsey 
     
     Corish into their home to raise. Possibly she was Elizabeth. the daughter of 
     
     Charles and Martha, as the ages of the two girls coincide. After the Corish 
     
     family left the community the house was moved to the present Gordon 
     
     Huestis farm, and was used as a workshop until 1978. when it was torn 
     
     down.

     Richard A. Clark (May 22, 1869-1935) was the son of Charles and 
     
     Margaret Ann (Lefurgey) Clark. Richard married Esther J. Hogg, daughter 
     
     of Walter Weeks and Eliza (Hall) Hogg. They lived in the house which still 
     
     stands on the Reynolds property. This house had previously been on the 
     
     opposite side of the New Annan road. The Clarks lived in the community
