In the fall of 2023 we were
pleased to have a visit from Nancy & Mark Alexander of
Titusville, Pennsylvania when
their cruise ship tour arrived in Charlottetown harbour.
We were able to get together for a visit in what turned
out to be an exciting day for us, in more than one way.
The visit reconnected the two main branches of the family,
formed by the families of Sgr David & Jean (Dalgity)
Scott's children. Nancy (Brunt) Alexander's
great-great-great grandfather David Scott Jr. had last
lived in Canada around 1826 but relocated with his wife
Theodora Wheeler to Ohio and then Pittsburgh PA.
During the visit we received exciting news of the arrival
of the latest generation on our side of the family, a new
son born to our daughter and her husband.
In the picture Nancy is holding the dress sword that is
attributed to having been worn by Sgr David Scott when he
served with the Royal Artillery in Halifax, Nova Scotia
between 1801 and 1803.
