Newfoundland

In the beginning of last spring the Rev. Walter Price, Curate of Dartmouth, having been recommended to the Society by the principal merchants and traders at that place, as a very proper person to succeed the late Mr. Langman in the Mission of St. John's, Newfoundland, was accordingly appointed to it, and the Society have had the satisfaction of hearing that he is very happily settled there, and meets with the encouragement which has diligent attention to the duties of his function may induce him to expect from the regard and esteem of his congregation.

In the course of the year the Society have received several letters from him, by which it appears in general, that the religious state of the island requires much more spiritual assistance than the Society are at present enabled to afford, there being many places where a Minister might be very advantageously employed The Popish religion prevails much throughout the island.

There are about two or thee (sic) thousand winter residents in St. John's. Mr. Price had baptised 31, married 16, buried 66. The principal inhabitants and magistrates constantly attend church, but the number of communicants is as yet very small.

Besides the care of his own proper parish, he has occasionally visited other places: in particular, Pity Harbor and Bay Bull, thirty-two miles from St. John. At the latter place there are 600 inhabitant, but very few Protestants. He represents to the Society that there are southern parts of the island, from Ferryland to Cape Rois, stand in great need of a Missionary. That, at Placentia, St. Mary;s, Fortune Bay, and Trepassey, there are many English people settled who have never heard the word of God preached among them for thirty years past.

The northern part, from Trinity Bay to Cape St. John's, is equally destitute of the opportunities of public worship. In some places a few religious lay men assemble their neighbours together, and read the service of the church and a sermon. This has been the case more particularly at Trinity Bay and the adjacent harbors, where a Minister has long been wanting. The principal inhabitants, however, being now in a more settled state since the peace, and thoroughly sensible of the baneful influence which the want of religious instruction and public worship have had or (sic) the morals and happiness of the people, have expressed their concern to the Society, and earnestly solicited the protection and assistance. At the same time they have recommended a gentleman of good abilities and unblemished character, who at present endeavors to supply the defect by reading prayers to supply the defect by reading prayers and a sermon to his neighbors every Lord's day; and whom they would be happy to have fixed that place as a Missionary from the Society. And considering the deplorable situation of the people there, and the strong assurances that the person recommended is very likely to answer the Society's view in spreading the knowledge of the Gospel, they have leave for his repairing to England that he may be ordained, and return Missionary to that place.

The Society have sent Mr. Price a large number of prayer-books and religious tracts.

Text Extract - Dictionary of the Miramichi Biography - Richard P Price
Text Extract - Dictionary of the Miramichi Biography - Richard P Price
As contained at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick - pg. 827

Son of Rev. Walter Price and Mary Woods; married Abigail Hove, daughter of Aaron Hovey and Dorothy Price.

References that he is one of three sons of Walter Price, although other records certainly reference more sons. Notes that his father, Rev. Walter Price, resigned from pastoral duties in 1799 before being elected as an MLA in 1802.

Richard was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1813 and a parish school trustee in 1817. He held a number of local appointments and was employed as a farmer and lumberer. Price and Abigail had 11 children and his position as magistrate and school trustee was taken by older brother John on his death.

* notes state that Royal Gazette death notice states he was born in Devonshire, England but researches contend his father was stationed in Newfoundland from 1783.

* additional reference to a curse on Price family that would cause the children to marry first cousins - and indeed five of the ten children that lived to adulthood did so.

Wedding Certificate - Lenore Driver
Wedding Certificate - Lenore Driver
Two points of interest in this document:

1) Lenore's age being 17. On the date of the marriage, January 18, 1935, Lenore was shy of her 15th birthday. Her age accords with the Census record of 1921 with her mother Eunice in Winnipeg, Manitoba as being 1 year old in 1920.

2) The name of her father Herbert Thomas Driver. Herbert had 3 children with Eunice before WWI. While in England, he met Gladys Killner. Herbert returned to Canada from the war in February/March 1919 and Gladys followed in October 1919. The two moved to British Columbia/Alberta with Herbert's three eldest kids from his marriage with Eunice and he and Gladys had three more. Lenore's conception date is the summer of 1919 which means, I say, the documents demonstrate he reconnected with his ex-wife while waiting for Gladys to move from England. Lenore's last name in the Census records are Galloway and I have been unable to find any records of her father being the purported Galloway.

Winslow Papers - Edited by Rev. W.O. Raymond - pgs. 497-498
Transcription of the Winslow Papers in 1901. The referenced pages include Rev. Walter Price's letter on the Parish of St. Mary's, York. Co. The original also contained in his profile.

Notable excerpts are that the population of the parish was 903 people, predominantly children, with 2,302 acres of land having been cleared for cultivation.

The letter references Heron Lake and Lake Carleton with the latter being of no consequence at the time due to its inland situation. The remainder of the article references resources and potential areas for developing cultivation that have not been undertaking due to "... the necessity the settlers are under of first attending to the provisions of Life and the want of surplus labor beyond this object, or the ignorance of the settlers in the culture & manufacture of it."

The Rev. Walter Price also states that introducing "Africans" to this climate will I doubt be found ineffectual."

Winslow Papers - Original of Rev. Walter Price's Report on the Parish of St. Mary's, York Co.
Dated August 8, 1803, the original has been transcribed by Rev. W.O. Raymond in 1901 on behalf of New Brunswick Historical Society.

The report references 903 residents in the parish (mostly children) and two lakes, now known as Lake Killarney and Lake Carelton, the latter being "... of no consequence owing to its inland situation."

The remainder of the report references resources and potential farmland although "[n]o experiments however in this article have been made owing perhaps to the necessity the settlers are under of first attending to the provisions of Life and the want of surplus labor beyond the object, or the ignorance of the settlers in the culture & manufacture of it."

Rev. Walter Price also notes that "[i]ntroducing Africans to this climate will I doubt be found ineffectual."
