We have a connection but I am rather rushed right now so will have to look up some things later. You have not found, by any chance, a Cartwright connection, have you? My g grandmother was Mary Cartwright but I do not know her maiden name. Her father was Peter Cartwright and when Mary's mother died, he remarried one of the Morrills from the River John area. When the step-mother died, she was taken in by a couple other Morrills to live. I know that the Morrills had a large stove foundry at Brule and everyone who got married, received a stove. I know the location of that foundry. Mr. MacDonald in the liquor store in River John knows a lot about the area and its people and he gave me photocopied articles about the foundry and family. Some of the Morrills went to the US to live and then came back. One was Lucy and her brother. They bought land in Caribou, Pictou County and I remember as a young girl my mother taking me to meet them. They were trying to farm and knew nothing about it. They donated the land for the church and school in that area. One of the Morrows married a Hingley from the Trenton area. There are Morrills buried on the road to Cape John outside of River John. Will see what I can dig up if interested.

Edmund and Sidonie were his parents. Sidonie lived with George and his wife in Massachusetts around 1918. Siblings for George include Wesley, Mary, Laura, Olivia, Hattie, James Allison, Edmund C and Lucy J as listed in the 1881 Canadian Census. I never met any of his siblings - but he was a wonderful man. Please contact me at [email protected] for more info. Would love to share with you!
