Barrett Family of PEI Canada

[J.J.]

Sad that the bit of info was written years ago without naming the wives & children and now the headstones aren't all legible. This might help someone else so I'll post if I find

Re: previous message for possible place of birth please read "Talland" instead of Tolland.

[J.J.]

hello Pricilla,  I had just posted those yesterday, and I believe the Talland Isaac has been properly proven to not be the correct one...


Just for fun.....I have to point out the morphing of the surname Heckleton/Hickleton to Higgleton in later census

I emailed the archives in PEI, and got the following response:

Dear Ms. Hensley,

The death record you identified is from the St. Paul's Anglican Church records (Acc3069/2).  Unfortunately, the church record does not include parents' names or the cause of death.  I've transcribed the record below:

 "Isaac Barrett of the North River, sawyer, died August 22nd, 1830, buried on the 24th, age 32 years.  [signed] L. C. Jenkins"
(Acc3069/2, St. Paul's Anglican Church, Burials, 1827-1947)

 I also checked our Master Name Index for references to Isaac Barrett and found a few items that might be of interest:

 Cemetery transcript

"Isaac Barrett, d. Aug. 22, 1830, Age 32"
(Charlottetown, Cemetery 1, Stone 131, Elm Avenue, St. Paul's Anglican Church)

 Barrett, Isaac
m. 23 October 1828 by Rev. L. C. Jenkins
s. Ann Margaret Heartz
d. 22 August 1830
bur. 24 August 1830

(From Master Name Index; no source given)

 Barrett, Isaac, 1798-22 August 1830

(Charlottetown Manuscript, pg. 19)

 I hope this information is helpful.  If you would still like a copy of the church death/burial record, please forward your complete mailing address.  The cost for microfilm prints is $0.50 per page (plus tax) and there is a minimum mailout fee is $5.00 (plus tax).

I got his burial place, which I didn't know before.  It was very kind for Jannah to look this information up for me.  Thank you too for the help I am getting here.

You may have missed some posts then...as Isaac's burial place has been posted by at least 3 of us ( including the recent link and list of Barretts from an undated transcription while some headstones were still legible.
 Old Protestant Burying Ground, St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlottetown Queens County.

I had seen those posts, and had that information in my genealogy program.  I didn't know the Old Protestant Burying ground and Charlottetown, Cemetery 1, Stone 131, Elm Avenue, St. Paul's Anglican Church were one and the same.

[J.J.]

I believe it ( Old Protestant) was "owned" by St. Paul's Church, I am not sure if it was in the same vicinity exactly...? I know a few churches expanded to other sites for their graveyards...
I'll dig and see what gives in this situation...  J.J.
p.s. Charlottetown cemetery doesn't ring a bell on its own...is that how it was worded or read?

adding, I believe it is how you read it...there is a comma, as there is more than one cemetery
(Charlottetown, Cemetery 1, Stone 131, Elm Avenue, St. Paul's Anglican Church)

Perhaps a better wording
Canada, PEI, Queens Co., Lot 33, Charlottetown, Old Protestant Cemetery

[J.J.]

ahhh...altho deeded to St. Paul's it could be used for the burial of ANY Protestant!
Sounds as though it has deteriorated considerably from neglect ...sad... So much history gone for good... http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canpeigs/index.html

Apparently they are working on upkeep now...They also welcome the names and contacts of descendants...
There is a publication WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE- A History of the Old Protestant Burying Ground
which I doubt would have any more info than you've found...I wonder if the proceeds go to maintenance of the grounds?
