Past and Present of PEI:

James Townsend married Rose McCary, third daughter of the
Rev. John McCary, the first missionary to Newfoundland, having been sent there by
John Wesley. After seven years spent in Newfoundland he returned to Ireland and
was there married. He with his family sailed from Dublin on board the ship
"Hannah," bound for Quebec. The ship was cast ashore in a gale on Cape Rosier, Gaspe
Peninsula, and became a total wreck. The captain chartered a schooner and put the
passengers and their luggage on board and again started for their destination, but en*
countering another storm in the gulf, was again stranded at the Ponds, a place midway
between Malpeque and New London

To James T. and Rose Montgomery were born ten children, eight of whom are living, but scattered all over the world, from far-off Persia in the East to the Golden Gate in the West.
