 A bit on David Sr. from Bill Dunbar

"David owned a beautiful little property at Port Mulgrave, and during the summer months, the venerable old gentleman may be seen operating a new fangled species of water power of which he holds the patent right. High up amongst the granite hills a crystal fountain send its sparkling stream down the rocky slope. The old man constructed a temporary trestle way down the wharves at Wylde's Cove, and supplies the trading vessels with water from the rock profitably to himself and conveniently to his patrons."

  David Murray Sr. passed away on 14 November 1888 and is buried at Port Mulgrave.

 

 

John Gault Murray also went to Cape Breton and was also a sea Captain at Port Richmond. He married Catherine Grant .  John and Catherine had 10 children John died in 1874.
