Submitted by Myrtle Ballem FERGUSON TO MUNN (N4) This property (97 acres), located east of the Marshfield Pioneer Cemetery , was first settled by James (New Inn) Ferguson. He, being a son of John (Elder) of Craggan , arrived on PEI in 1808. Shortly after that, in 1812, he married Katherine McFarlane , and leased this property east of his wife's brother Mungo McFarlane (refer to Fergusons of Craggan Farm and New Inn Fergusons ). Information regarding the operation of an Inn is sparse, other than to verify that such did exist; from a PEI registry dated August 7,1825, granting James Ferguson a retail license for spiritous liquors. The will of James (New Inn) is copied completely following the story of this property. Of particular note is the fact that James and his brother-in-law Mungo McFarlane made the land available for the Pioneer Cemetery . Both are among the earlier burials in the Pioneer Cemetery . Upon the death of James in 1866, his son James Richard and his wife Elizabeth Rodd of Little York inherited the property.
