Musquodoboit Pioneers:
A Record of Seventy Families,
Their Homesteads and Genealogies
1780 - 1980
original text by
Jennie ReidVolume II
Statement from Jim Reid, son of the late author, Jennie Reid
It is with a great sense of pride that Dan, Carolyn and I make our Mother, Jennie Reid's, work of love, "A Record of Seventy Musquodoboit Families", available for publication on the Internet through the Nova Scotia GenWeb site. It was her fondest dream to ensure the information, history and genealogy of the Musquodoboit Valley become available to anyone who was interested in her work.
I can remember the many summer afternoons our family spent searching through the woods and brush; cleaning off old tombstones buried in moss; and reciting the valuable information contained on those stones to Mum who meticulously recorded it. I can remember the many evenings sitting around the dining room table as Dad revealed the great wealth of stories and knowledge he had retained from living his full 80 years in the Valley. I can remember the many interesting people who came to visit looking for information on their forefathers; they picked Mum's brain for knowledge as she did likewise to them. But most of all, I remember the great sense of satisfaction she so often expressed when she was able to see someone walk out our door with a much keener awareness of their family background.
Our family would like to express our sincere gratitude to Carroll Armstrong who encouraged us to put the information online, and also for her work with Lark Szick, Volunteer Co-Ordinator for The Nova Scotia GenWeb Project, in co-ordinating the many volunteers who have given so freely of their time to prepare the book for publication on the Internet.
I can see the smile of satisfaction on Mum's face expressing the accomplishment of her fondest dream.
Jim

PAGE 500.
Thomas settled in Middle Musquodoboit. The road to his farm went in by what is now (1980) the Cyril Hubley place. The old road was discovered in 1964 when a road was made to a gravel pit on what was then the Milton McKeen property.

James McCurdy
The McCurdy family, originally from Scotland, reached Nova Scotia by way of Ireland and New England. About 1772 Alexander McCurdy with his wife Jannet, four children and his sister Peggy, settled in Onslow. Their son James married Agnes Archibald in 1788, and it was James Munroe McCurdy, their son, who with his brother Alexander pioneered in Musquodoboit. (A brother Matthew and a sister Sarah also settled in Musquodoboit. See histories of these families. Genealogical numbers 1- 43-2 are concerned with McCurdy ancestors before James came to Musquodoboit.)
PAGE 504.
43-2 James Munroe (1st son of James & Agnes Archibald McCurdy) was doubtless named after Rev. James Munroe, one of the earliest ministers of Colchester County. In 1813, James and his brother Alexander came from Onslow to Middle Musquodoboit and cleared a field on a 200 acre lot their father had purchased for them. This lot of land made two farms, and was owned and occupied by these two brothers for many years. Subsequently, it was divided again, James’ half went to his two sons, Isaac and Thomas and has since been sold to others. James built his house on the north side of the Brookvale road, was later occupied by his two sons. Isaac died in 1867 and sometime after the house was burned with all its contents. Thomas then built the house occupied by Keith Kingsbury, 1980. Isaac’s family built a small house where the Captain Burris house now stands. This small house later burned and the present house was built by Allen, Isaac’s son about 1884 shortly after. (It is now owned by Thomas Doucette, 1980). Two hundred acres were added to Alexander’s half which went to his two sons, William and J. Watson, and was later owned by a grandson Roy B. McCurdy, and Frank McCurdy, 1980. Alexander built his house on the old road and later when the present road was built in 1847 he moved the house and barn down to the present site.
James md. on Oct. 25, 1814, Margaret (dau. of Alexander & Rebecca Baird Miller). Margaret was a sister of Thomas Miller who wrote the Historical Record of Colchester County. She was born May 24, 1797 and died Oct. 11, 1845. James and Margaret had 8 sons and 4 daus.PAGE 505.

Peter and John both served in the Revolutionary War and in 1783, along with many other members of the Duke of Cumberland's disbanded forces, sailed on the Loyalist ship "Argo" from St. Augustine, Florida, arriving in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Dec. 13 of the same year. Grants of land awaited them in Guysborough but the Ogilvies did not go there. 1785 saw the Ogilvie brothers in Musquodoboit, where they settled. In his "memorial" for a grant of land dated June, 1790, Peter stated that he had a wife and two children. This land was not granted but he petitioned again in May, 1798 and November of the same year. Peter said that he had been in Musquodoboit for 13 years and now had four children and 2 servants. This petition was granted, finally, March 30, 1814, and his farm was located on the backroad, not far from the Cook's Brook Community Hall (1980), and now owned by Mrs. Ralph Murray, formerly Mrs. Austin Ogilvie. Peter is said to have married someone with the maiden name of Hawthorne. Family:
