Halifax Herald January 28, 2005 SAMPSON, Francis Leonard - 78, Lower South River, Antigonish. It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, who passed away with his family by his side on January 25, 2005, Born in Louisdale, Richmond Co., on April 18, 1926, he was the youngest son of the late Henry and Virginia (Marchand) Sampson. He was an astute and well-respected businessman all his working life. Between 1959 and 1973, he managed the Louisdale Co-op, Landry Brothers Plumbing and Cameo Jewelers in Cape Breton before buying and operating the Goshen Restaurant and Gift Shop in Antigonish until his retirement in 1986. Leonard ran his businesses the way he lived his life, with generosity, integrity and grace. He was an active member of St. Andrew's Parish, a past member of the Louisdale and Antigonish Lions Clubs, the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home Foundation and The Lodge That Gives. He loved his gardens, fine food, crosswords and entertaining friends. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Alvina (LeLievre). She was the love of his life, and their partnership in life and business served as a model to their children: Angela Bowles (Carmen), Lower South River; Denise MacDonald (Greg), Antigonish; Noel (Joann), Halifax; Gina (Peter Poole), Antigonish; Claude (Monica), Sydney. He is also survived by brother, Anthony, Louisdale; beloved grandchildren: Jared, Emma, Moira, Justine, Jenny, Malcolm, Grace, Aidan, Chase and Lenee. His smile will forever live in the hearts of his children and grandchildren. As we grieve his passing, we are profoundly grateful for the life he lived and the gifts he gave us. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sisters, Delia, Mabel, Stella, and brother, Howard. Visitation will be in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College St., Antigonish, today from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral mass will be in St. Andrew's Church, St. Andrew's, Saturday, January 29, at 11 a.m. with Rev. Robert Neville presiding. Spring burial in St. Louis Parish Cemetery, Louisdale.

Dear Geoff, Thank you for your shrewd reply, but Listers have been telling me that there were no civil registrations, such as death certificates, kept or made for the year 1892! I'm hoping I might get a land petition or land grant record for him, amongst seven petitioning Donald MacGregors or McGregors. Have you ever received one? Where did you get it, and is there any info on the document to identify the land for which the petition or land grant was made?

Thank you, Richard Noble, for your informative reply. My great-grandfather Deacon Donald MacGregor's Goshen Baptist church record only said "dead", and his "Messenger & Visitor" obituary, page 8, dated 4 May 1892, mentioned his parents, but didn't give his parents' names. So, I guess that's a dead end, as far as information pertinent to his death goes. Maybe some day I'll be able to find the correct Donald MacGregor, or Donald McGregor's (Mc as original spelling) petition for his land grant, amongst other Donald McGregors' petitions, and glean something from that. His sister Ishbel McGregor (maiden lady) surely petitioned for the land grant for her farm beside his. Not too promising. I was told once that there were 7 Donald McGregor land grants, or petitions for land grants. I should have applied for all 7 of them at the time, for the price was probably cheap then. However, my husband and I were raising a family at the time, so I didn't want to spend the money then. Perhaps if I traveled to the Land Management source in Nova Scotia, I could possibly distinguish which land petition or land grant was my Donald McGregor's, in South River Lake, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. The very small rear right corner of Ishbel McGregor's land grant was in Guysborough Co., but 95% of her land was in Antigonish County. I think one of those Church? 1873? maps of land grants or farms around South River Lake labeled Ishbel McGregor's land as "Miss McGregor's". I wonder if I should apply for her land grant or petition info as Miss McGregor, Ishbel McGregor, or Isabel McGregor, or even Essabella McGregor. The name Essabella appears, I believe, on 19th century censuses as "Essabella" M[a]c Gregor for both her and her niece, my great aunt, "Auntie Belle" (later the 2nd Mrs. Alexander Hattie also of South River Lake), or she also Essabella McGregor (the junior one and a daughter of my great-grandfather, Baptist Deacon Donald M[a]cGregor). Family oral tradition maintains that Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor's parents were Donald Ruadh (or Red-haired Donald) McGregor and wife, nee Margaret McGregor. "Auntie Belle" wrote my father, Dr. Judson Stewart MacGregor, in the 1920's that Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor's parents did come to Nova Scotia from Scotland, but no one today knows what happened to them. That could mean possibly that one of those land petitions or land grants was made by Baptist Deacon Donald MacGregor's parents, another Donald McGregor! I suspect that these parents were the very couple who returned to Scotland, rather than stay in Nova Scotia, because the wife of one of those early immigrant-to-Canada MacGregor relatives was "disturbed", obviously didn't like Nova Scotia, so they returned to Scotland. I think it must have been the Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor's parents who returned to Nova Scotia, because Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor was born in 1806 in Perthshire (Loch Rannoch says tradition) Scotland, so his mother, at least, had to have been in Scotland to give birth to him there. I think no one remembers what happened to Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor's parents, because they were the ones who returned to Scotland. Also, Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor came to Nova Scotia in 1832, and his McGregor cousins in Springfield, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, called him, consequently, "New Donald" McGregor. (New Donald, versus the old Donald who must have been his father.) The Springfield, NS MacGregor cousins' immediate family, of whom Margaret nee MacGregor, Baptist Deacon Donald MacGregor's mother, was a member, had come to Nova Scotia "around the turn of the century", around 1800, obviously plus or minus. This scenario seems to make sense to me. Listers, do you have any helpful suggestions about how to distinguish Baptist Deacon Donald McGregor's land grant or land petition from those of other Donald McGregors' land grants or petitions? Granted, any land petition or land grant made before 1832 would not be his!

I've finished looking through this roll of film. If I find another with latter dates I'll take up the task again. Jim Delorey

The disparity in death certificate fees is mind-boggling! Wouldn't you think that those with authority to assign a $32.50 Nova Scotia price versus a $7.00 New Brunswick price would be abashed, at least? I wonder if I can get an 1892 death certificate for my great-grandfather for that price, or would they demand that I have permission, incredibly, from my deceased great-grandfather to get his death certificate? My great-grandfather was Baptist Deacon Donald MacGregor who died 3 April 1892 in South River Lake, Antigonish Co., Nova Scotia. Can anyone advise me here on what the legal requirements would be for me to get a deceased ancestor's death certificate? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. I am hoping against hope that the certificate might list my great-grandfather's parents' names on the death certificate, or at least something besides the date and place. I hope it's more simple than I thought!

Eileen is a great help for early and recent info. I was fortunate to see where the first Charpentier, Charles, settled on PEI. It was at St.Peters Bay on PEI. He landed there in either 1719 or 1720 depending on which census you look at. If you need any help with sources for early Charpentiers please let me know. I have a fairly good record of their travels during the expulsions and after they came back to Canada. Again, Eileen also helped me out alot. Look forward to talking again Jennifer, your fifth cousin 1x removed(by my figuring!)

I descend from the same line as Eileen and yourself. My line splits at Louis Charpentier. I descend from his brother, Elie-David. Elie-David went to PEI in about 1820 and married a girl in Rollo Bay named Veronique Bourque. This is the woman I think may be Ann listed in the census. I think she may be the sister in law of Louis and Marine. I have been thinking about contacting relations in Nova Scotia. Have you ever been in contact with them? I met a whole crew of Carpenters on PEI (pretty much every Carpenter on the island is a relative of ours) and thought it was great fun. Respond back or email me and let me know. Take care, Jennifer Sargeant nee Carpenter

Hello. I'm researching a Hugh Howard MacDonald born in Pictou in 1866 to Hugh and Christina (MacDonald)MacDonald. When Hugh Sr. died Christina took her infant son to the town of Antigonish where Hugh Jr. was baptized (St. Ninians). The two of them lived with her brother Hugh (a blacksmith). They appear there in the 1871 and 1881 censuses. c1887 Hugh Jr. (my ggrandfather) left N.S. because of a Halloween prank gone bad. He settled in MA and died there c1932. I have visited Antigonish, hired researchers, talked to Ronnie DD, and had my DNA tested. This is still a brick wall for me. Any leads appreciated. Raymond MacDonald
