CORNELIUS OF SUNDERLAND Passenger List Part I (Families Bell - Hay) 1837 Founders of CORNELIUS OF SUNDERLAND Passenger List Part I (Families Bell - Hay) 1837 Founders of Harvey Settlement, York Co. , New Brunswick BELL – OLIVER 1. William BELL Husband; aged 24; b. 12 Apr 1813, England; d. 23 May 1895, Harvey; bd. Harvey Settlement Cem. Preemigr. occ, : labourer. Post-emigr. occ. : farmer. Rel. : Presbyterian. 2. Janet OLIVER Wife; aged 26; b. ca. 1811, Kelso, Scotland; d. 1 Sep 1895, Harvey; bd. Harvey Settlement Cem. Rel. : Presbyterian. Agnes BELL Daughter in womb, b. Jul-Aug 1837, probably Fredericton; bp. 15 Aug 1837, Cathedral, Fredericton; d. bef. 1839. William Bell and his wife Janet Oliver were a young married couple on the Cornelius. All their children were born in New Brunswick. Janet was pregnant on the Cornelius and had a baby shortly after arrival in New Brunswick. Cathedral, Fredericton records indicate: "Agnes Bell aged 2 weeks baptized Aug 15, 1837, daughter of Wm and Janet Bell, by T. M. Stirling. " (PANB F 1114 Cathedral, Fredericton). Agnes most likely died as an infant as another daughter born in Oct 1839 to this couple was also named Agnes. The 1851 NB census listed both William and Janet as "Scotch", whereas the 1861 census listed William as "English" and Janet as "Scotch". William was granted 100 acres, Lot 11 E, front tier in Harvey Settlement. According to 1861 census he employed one male and one female; owned or occupied 45 acres of improved land 55 acres unimproved. There is no known official passenger list for the 1837 voyage of the Cornelius and reconstructed tallies vary. The Weekly Chronicle (newspaper) Saint John, NB, July 14, 1837 reported that "The brig Cornelius arrived in St. John on July 12, 1837 under the direction of Captain Woodworth. In addition to 137 passengers, it carried coals and glass. " A list of settlers including wives and children, with names, ages, relationships and occupations was prepared by the New Brunswick government in the fall of 1837 and contained 146 names (see reproduction in Part II). Setting aside two duplicates, it was missing known Cornelius passengers Henry Craigs and wife Isabella Kay, the Davidson family and William Patterson. The reconstructed annotated list of 154 Cornelius passengers presented here in two parts (surnames Bell Hay here in Part I) includes two babies born at sea and was compiled based on land grants in Harvey, family histories and the 1837 government list. Two children in the wombs of pregnant women on board the Cornelius who were born subsequent to the arrival of the settlers in America are listed but not counted. The tally presented here is in close agreement with an estimate of approximately 160 passengers made by Cornelius settler and school teacher John Thompson in his ca. 1868 -1875 account of the voyage. BROWN 3. Thomas BROWN Single man; aged 37; b. ca. 1800; d. 5 Aug 1859, Harvey; bd. Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Preemigration occupation: labourer. Thomas Brown sailed on the Cornelius with the family of his sister Alice (or Alison) Brown and her husband William Messer. He never married. CARMICHAEL – HUME 4.

Rel. : Presbyterian. 10. Jane HUME Daughter of Mary Hume; aged <5 Months; b. 1837, Northumberland – d. Harvey? John and Margaret and three young sons, James, Samuel and Robert, were aboard the Cornelius. Margaret's sister, Mary Hume and infant daughter Jane also came with the Carmichaels. Mary Hume later married Cornelius settler James Craig (see below). The Carmichaels settled on Lot 20 W and 19 E, 100 acres of land. The lot was of an unusual shape with the highway going through it, so part of the lot was on each side of the highway. The house and barn were built on lot 20 W. (Land Grant 1851/12/19, Vol KL, No. 4949). According to the 1861 Census, they employed 3 males and 1 female, owned or occupied 60 acres of improved land 76 acres unimproved. CESSFORD – PIERCY 11. David CESSFORD Husband; aged 34; b. 18 Aug. 1803 Chillingham Parish, bp. 31 Aug. 1803 Cheviot St. , Wooler, Northumberland; d. 21 Jan 1862, Harvey; bd. Harvey Settlement Cem.

Robert Wilson, 10 Jul 1854; d. 24 Sep 1860, Harvey; bd. Harvey Settlement Cem. David Cessford and his wife Peggy sailed on the Cornelius with three children and arrived in New Brunswick with a fourth, Margery born at sea on 4 Jul 1837. Two more children were born in Harvey. It is unknown whether Margaret was closely related to the other Piercy families who settled in Harvey. Based on the ordering in the government list of names of those applying for land on the St. Andrews Road in the fall of 1837 (see part II of this poster) this family seems to be closely associated with that of William Taite. A daughter Margaret was generally assumed to be that of David and Peggy Cessford was more likely a daughter of William Taite. David Cessford and family settled on a 100 acre Land Grant Lot No. 8 E. The 1861 census shows the youngest two sons, aged 21 and 17, at home. No. of hands employed - 2 male. Acres of land owned or occupied - 30 improved, 70 unimproved. Cash value of farm - 150 pounds, value of implements and machinery - 10 pounds. COCKBURN (COBURN) – LESSLIE 16.

The surname was spelled "Cowe" in the early years, but after 1874 it became "Cowie". The first Presbyterian Church in Harvey Settlement was built on the Cowe land on the corner next to the Harvey Settlement Cemetery. The Cowe family were members of the Free Presbyterian Church. Old records from this church have not been located and presumably did not survive the passage of time. The Cowe family births, deaths, etc. are not entered in the Harvey.

GRIEVE – TURNBULL Tavern Built of Logs at Stanley Philip Harry June 1835 LAC C 004089 The Mill at Stanley Philip Harry, Aug 1835, LAC C 003552 General View of Stanley From the Road Philip Harry and S Russell Aug 1835, LAC C 007163 Illustrations from an attractive 1836 promotional prospectus released by the New Brunswick Land Company promoting settlement in the planned community of Stanley Harvey Settlement was founded by a group of settlers who arrived on board the 'Snow' rigged Cornelius of Sunderland during it's maiden voyage from Berwick-Upon. Tweed, Northumberland, United Kingdom to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada (May 29 - July 12, 1837). The settlers initially were recruited by the New Brunswick Land Company (NBLC) to take up land in the already established community of Stanley. The Company was organized in 1831 and chartered in 1834, and like similar companies elsewhere in British North America exercised a responsibility, delegated by the colonial administration, to open up and settle large tracts of land at the expense, and for the profit, of their English shareholders. The New Brunswick Company purchased a tract of 589, 000 acres in York County, NB north of Fredericton and spent £ 80, 000 preparing two town sites 18 miles apart: Stanley, on the Nashwaak 25 miles north of Fredericton, and Campbellton on the Miramichi (now Bloomfield Ridge). Company agents surveyed the town sites, built mills and houses, and began work on the roads, but less was accomplished than Company literature promised. Of the two, only Stanley achieved modest success as a magnet for settlers. To populate its lands, the New Brunswick Company during the 1830 s made four concerted attempts at direct overseas recruitment. The first targeted poor children institutionalized in London, the second farm labourers and tradesmen in the eastern Borders between England Scotland. The third party was recruited, disastrously, in the Scottish highlands, and the fourth was a second party from the Borders. The first three parties were settled in and around Stanley, with varying degrees of success; the fourth -- the Cornelius party -- escaped the Company's control and founded Harvey, south of Fredericton. On arrival in Saint John all but two of the families from the Cornelius continued on to Fredericton "where they received the unfavourable news that a stop had been put to the Company's works" pending the arrival of a new commissioner. There they also learned of complaints of their English friends, and found the economy of the province, reported upon so glowingly the year before, staggering in the wake of an international financial crisis. They therefore appealed to Governor Sir John Harvey, arguing that "they had not left their native country to which they were much attached, through any disaffection but to improve if possible their situation". They petitioned to be allowed to clear a tract of land outside the territory of the Company, “to be sold to them at as reasonable a rate as practicable, to be paid for by instalments within a given period. ” The Legislature debated how to respond to their application. Various members of the House pointed to "the most hyperbolical and extravagant inducements" held out to the immigrants in the Company's English pamphlets, and to “its poetical and highly-coloured statements” in the Royal Gazette. In the end the Legislature was swayed by the circumstances of the case. Echoing the favourable reports on the arrival of the D'Arcy the year before, Mr. Clinch, one of the members, observed that it was well-known “that most of the emigrants to this country, and especially the Irish, came here only as a way to the United States; the best of them always went off, and the worst and most useless only remained. But these people were of a different class altogether. ” They had been “induced to leave comfortable homes” by extravagant promises that the Company was not in a position to fulfill, and as they had arrived in the wake of a commercial depression in “a year of considerable distress, wages were low, business was greatly stagnated, and a variety of circumstances operated, to prevent these persons from advantageously scattering throughout the Province” looking for work. Moreover, Clinch noted, they had some little capital with them, and were not seeking financial relief, merely the opportunity to buy and pay for lands that they could develop. The Legislature voted the sum of £ 200 to defray the costs of locating them along a road then constructing between Fredericton and St Andrews, about 25 miles south of the city in what later became the parish of Manners Sutton. It was named the Harvey Settlement, after the Governor. The colonial administration supplied a man to teach them to fell trees, and by paying them to work on the road enabled them to pay for their lots. As this was a special government program, their progress was regularly reported upon. CRAIGS (CRAIG) EMBLETON – RUNCHMAN Excerpted from: James 2004 -2005.

There was a Cherry Runchman who immigrated to Harvey in 1842 with her son Edward Runchman and granddaughter Margaret Runchman. The Embleton’s settled on Lot 5 W, a hillside lot. The 1861 census lists William as a farmer/carpenter. He employed two males and one female, owned or occupied 30 acres improved land 15 acres unimproved.

Eleanor Grieve Daughter; born at sea on the Cornelius, 24 Jun 1837 between Grand Banks of Newfoundland Nova Scotia; bp. 15 Jul 1837 in Cathedral, Fredericton; d. Jul 1837, Fredericton, NB. William Grieve was a shepherd prior to emigrating on the Cornelius. A daughter, Eleanor was born on the voyage but died in Fredericton shortly after the arrival of the settlers. A passage from James F. W. Johnston's 1851 Notes on North America: Agricultural, Economical, and Social (Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1851), Vol. II, 168 -78; CIHM no. 35750, provides a candid window on William Grieve's experience as a settler: "I conversed with two of the settlers as to their own history and progress. Mr. Grieves was a shepherd at Whittingham, on the Border. He landed at Fredericton, in 1837, with a family of ten, and with only 7 s. 6 d. in his pocket. He did not come out immediately to Harvey along with the other settlers, but having received his grant of land, he hired himself as a farm-servant to Colonel Shore at Fredericton, at £ 30 a-year; and such of his children as could do anything he hired out also. Supporting the rest of his family out of his earnings, he saved what he could; and whenever he had a pound or two to spare, he got an acre or two of his land cleared. In this way he did good to the other settlers, by bringing some money among them and giving a little employment. At last, four years ago-that was, after seven years' service-he came out, and settled on his land himself: building a good house for his family right away-that is, without the previous erection of a log-house, as is usually the case; and a very good house he appeared to have. He now owns seven hundred acres of land in different lots, and has clearings of twenty acres on each of three or four of these farm-lots, intended for his several sons, who appear to be as industrious as himself. When I asked him how it was that he appeared to have got on better than the rest of those around him, he said, "he and his family had saved it off their backs and their belly. " But he added – and it really moved me to find here lingering some heart and gratefulness still for kindness conferred, among so many who are filled only with grumbling and discontent – "Few have had so good a chance as I had, sir, or have met with so kind a master. " I afterwards had the pleasure of meeting that master at Fredericton, and found him as grateful for the warm attachment and zealous service of so good a hind. I can well fancy a canny Northumbrian shepherd, with his thriftily brought up, obedient, and respectful children, gaining friends in New Brunswick, and thriving as Grieves has done. "Had I my life to begin again, "he said, "I would come out here; for though I might not have more comfort myself, there is the satisfaction of providing well for my family. ” He added though that "A man must work as hard here as at home, and longer hours. He must build his own house, make his own family's shoes, and do many other things. A useless man need not come here. " HAY – ROBINSON 63.
