As is mentioned in the previous chapter, Peter Secord paid a visit to
the Long Point country before it was settled, and on returning to New
Brunswick induced his cousin, Frederick Maby, to move thither.
The Maby party consisted of Frederick Maby, his wife and seven
children, with the husbands of two of the daughters, Peter Teeple and John
Stone, and also Peter Secord. They all settled in Charlotteville.
Another Secord family which settled in Norfolk, was that of Silas
Secord, who had been a sergeant in Butler’s Rangers, and had settled, in
1786, with his wife and one child, in the Niagara District. He was
subsequently given an allotment in Walsingham. One of his daughters was
married to Joseph Andrews, of the same place.
