Smallwood. To this union, six children were born, from whom the Farquharsons in Bunbury and Mt. Herbert are descended. A descendant of the Squire still lives on the property.

Captain James Kelly came to the Island from England, and bought land in Bunbury in 1817, having lived on the property since 1810. Capt. Kelly was an entrepreneur in the young community, building ships, operating a brick yard, and offering transportation across the river to Charlottetown. Members of the fifth and sixth generations still live on the property.

The Hamm Family came to this country about the same time as the Bovyers. Their English home was at Tor Point in Cornwall. Descendants of the first Hamm are still farming the original

property.

The Duffy family’s paternal ancestor was Patrick Duffy, who came to Bunbury from Ireland in 1834. One of Patrick Duffy’s descendants has returned to Bunbury, and resides on the Duffy Road with his family.

EARLY TRAVEL

Before John Bovyer moved to Lot 48, Bunbury was merely the back end of a few large properties that stretched from the Old Georgetown Road, which was where today’s Trans Canada Highway runs through Cross Roads, down to the shore of the East River. Following settlement, the first roads into the community were Bunberry Road and Clifion Road. Clifton Road provided the main access into the settlement, leading from the Old Georgetown Road, directly to the shore of the river. Clifton was the name of the Mason family farm. The name of Clifton Road was later

changed to Mason Road.
