As written by Edwin W. Creed in 1931:
HISTORY OF THE CREED FAMILY
Descendants of Richard Creed
by Edwin W. Creed
Richard Creed was born at Faversham, Kent County, England, on December twenty-first, seventeen seventy-seven. Who his father or mother were, so far as I can learn, is not known by any of the family now living. He married Sarah Dean, who was born at Sittingbourn, England, on January twenty-third, seventeen seventy-nine.
From 1805 to 1820 he held the position of Overseer of Works, Royal Engineer Department. He was then promoted to be Clerk of Works, at Halifax, Nova Scotia; and moved there with his family. I have been told that he had a great deal to do with the work of developing the "Citadel" fortress at Halifax. He was retired on pension in September 1843. An old friend of the family, Mrs. James H. Crichton, (Jane Clark), has often spoken to me of my great-grandfather, Richard Creed. He was a frequent visitor at her father's home; often at meal time, but he would not eat with them. He would sit near her father and talk with him. He had to use an ear trumpet, as he was very hard of hearing. They were of the same religious faith, "Christadelphian" or its equivalent.
Great-grandmother, Sarah Dean Creed died in Halifax on December 22,1850, aged 71 years.
Richard Creed died August 24,1864, aged 87 years. He is buried in the family lot in "Camp Hill Cemetery". His tombstone, also that of John Andrew Wellner and Edwin Stearns is shown in the accompanying photograph (in album of Creed family).
Richard Creed and Sarah Dean had three sons and seven daughters. This history is concerned principally with the descendants of their oldest son, George John, who was born at Faversham, England on December 7,1803. At the time his father left England for Halifax, he was very ill. Upon his recovery, or some time later, on April 14,1822, he left London for Halifax arriving there June 1,1822. I have a very anxious letter written by his father to Mr. Dean, his uncle in Sittingbourne, at the time of his illness. It is dated Halifax, October 9, 1820. He was a "Clerk" in the Civil Department of the Royal Engineers, with the rank of Lieutenant, from 1825 to 1861, when he was retired on pension. On September 25, 1826, he married Susan Wellner, the eldest daughter of John Andrew Wellner. At one time grandfather Creed and family lived in a house on Barrington Street, nearly opposite the present City Hall. Later they moved to "Poplar Grove" off Buckingham Street. Here my father Edwin Stearns, passed through a long and very serious illness. During his convalescence the family moved to "Faversham" farm in South Rawdon. This was in the fall of 1859.
Some time in the year 1851 (Note by Ruth Davison: Passenger Ship Lists Mr. Creed from London to Halifax Pkt Barque Moro Castle - Voyage Notes: Newspaper date Oct 6 1851, Plate 318.c5 - must be when her returned from his trip). my Uncle George Creed went to England to visit the great Crystal Palace Exposition. While there he visited the Town of Faversham, in the hope of learning more of the family genealogy, beyond great grandfather Richard Creed. Apparently he was not successful or found that it was not to his liking to trace the family further. No one else has succeeded in extending our knowledge of the early history of the family. It would be interesting to know what Richard Creed's father and mother's names were and whether he had brothers and sisters.
Some time after Uncle George returned from his visit to England, his grandfather John Andrew Wellner gave him "Faversham Farm" in South Rawdon, which he worked until his father and family moved up from Halifax. He then acquired the neighboring farm, known to the family since as "Clifford". This home will be remembered by everyone who ever visited there for the generous hospitality always found there. This farm has been owned by some member of the branch of the family ever since. At the present tome it is the home of Sophie and her son Hedley Lawson. A portion of this farm was set aside as a family burial lot. Here may be found the graves of grandfather George John Creed and grandmother Creed. George Creed and Elizabeth; their children, Sarah, James Levi, Obed Clifford, George Silas and Mary Louise; my father Edwin Stearns, my two brothers Maynard Ives and Wilfred Lawson; W. Henry Lawson and his infant son.
The most outstanding event in the family history occurred on the 26th of September 1876; the celebration of the "Golden Wedding" anniversary of grandfather and grandmother Creed. Invitations were sent to all their relatives. Their sons George, Edwin, Herbert, Roland, with their wives and children, were all present; also the daughter Sarah, her husband Robert Davison and three sons. Many other relatives and friends came.
A large military tent or Marquee was set up on the lawn in front of Faversham, and tables were put up in it. The most wonderful banquet ever seen in that part of the country was served there. In commemoration of this happy occasion a fund was raised, each member of the immediate family having a share. A very handsome family Bible was purchased. The clasp was of gold and had engraved on it "Presented to George John and Susan Creed by their children on the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, September 26, 1876". On the blank leaves of the Bible was written: "To our dear parents this commemorative gift is affectionately dedicated by
George Creed Elizabeth Creed
Sarah C. Davison Robert Davison
Edwin S. Creed Sarah W. Creed
Herbert C. Creed Jessie S. M. Creed
Roland H. Creed Mary W. Creed
The presentation took place some time after the anniversary, at the home of my father in Mill Valley. As at the anniversary, all the sons, their wives and children were present; also the daughter, her husband and children. The children were not present when the "Bible" was presented, but were in another room, in the charge of our cousin Richard Creed, who was some years older than the rest of us. It was anything but a pleasurable duty for him, due to a heated controversy between some of the cousins. I believe that this was the last gathering of all the members of the family at which grandfather was present. I have among my treasures an account of this occasion, also of the anniversary celebration in grandfather's own handwriting, for my father.
On September 17, 1877, grandfather Creed died, at the age of 74. At the time and for some time afterwards, the writer was seriously ill, in fact not expected to live. I have been told that grandfather's funeral was the largest ever witnessed in that part of the country. He was a very zealous member of the Baptist Church and an enthusiastic "Son of Temperance", a member of Rechab Division in South Rawdon. I am not positive of this, but have the impression that at one time he was "Grand Worthy Patriarch" of the Grand Division, Sons of Temperance of Nova Scotia. Everyone who knew him, loved and respected him. Grandmother Creed survived grandfather some thirteen years, living for longer or shorter periods with the families of her children. She died August 19, 1890 at the home of her daughter Sarah Davison, aged 86 years. I remember her as a very gentle, lovable old lady.
For some years after Grandfathe'rs death, Faversham continued to be the home of his son Roland Hill Creed. In 1894 Uncle Roland bought the property in Ashdale, formerly owned by Thomas Dimock, and Faversham, for a few years, was occupied by Richard Creed. Then he and his family went to Alberta and Faversham passed out of the family. George and Elizabeth Dimock Creed had twelve children, six boys and six girls.
Susan married Thomas Knowles. She had two children, Gertrude who is now Mrs. Arthur Lebosierre; and Maynard. At the time of Susan's death, her family was living in Massachusetts. Gertrude and Maynard are now living in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Hedley, who had been living in California for some years, came home in the fall of 1866 for a few months visit, returning afterwards to California. I remember him as being very popular. He had considerable musical talent and was an expert with a rifle. On June 9, 1894, he married Mary A Manley. They had three children, Elizabeth, John Hedley Jr. and Henry. The later years of his life, Hedley was Forest Warden, or Deputy Sheriff in the Giant Redwoods Forest of California. He died March 15, 1925. His wife married again to a Mr. Doherty.
Cousin Bessie married Cyrus Weldon of Maitland. They had six children, two boys and four girls. Bessie died February 21, 1926.
Richard, after living in Alberta, returned to the old homestead and is now living with Sophie. His wife Fannie Taylor, died out in Alberta, as did also his sons George and Gordon. The daughter Mildred and son Leslie are still living in Alberta. Mildred married Charles Stearns.
Cousin Edith married James Mason and is living at Sackville, Halifax County, N.S.
Sophie married W. Henry Lawson. As I have already mentioned, she is now living on the "Clifford" homestead with her son. I feel that as a family we are very much indebted to Sophie for her thoughtful care of the burial lot.
Cousin Robert married Ella Wood, November 5, 1898, and for some years worked the "Clifford" farm. Then he moved to Woburn, Mass., where he followed the trade of carpenter, until 1930 when he went back to Nova Scotia and built himself a house near Mount Uniacke station.
Uncle George Creed in his lifetime was engaged in a number of different enterprises. He will probably be remembered by more people as an organizing Deputy of Granges, Patrons of Husbandry. He traveled extensively in the Maritime Provinces and I believe to some extent in the Province of Quebec. I have no information as to how many granges he organized but know that he was very successful. In the years 1927 and 1928, I was Lecturer of the Metropolitan Pomona Grange of Massachusetts, which has a membership of about 1000, drawn from twelve subordinate granges. At one of our meetings, an elderly lady came to me and said, "When I was a small girl in Nova Scotia, an old man with a white beard used to visit the grange in our village. His name was Creed. I have often wondered if you were related to him".
My father Edwin Stearns Creed, some time after his recovery from his serious illness in 1859, went to New York and studied for a Doctor at Dr. Tralls Hegio-Therapeutic College, graduating March 29,1865. For a time he practised in Cornwallis, N.S. He was married June 11, 1867 to Sarah Wellner of Fredericton, N.B. They began housekeeping in Hantsport, N.S., where for a time he practised his profession. Before he had been married a year, he purchased some property at Ashdale from James Fish. Here I was born, also my sister Jessie and brother Harry.
Probably in the year 1873, the Ashdale property was sold, and the "Poplars Farm" was bought from Josiah Parker. At this home, brothers Thomas E., James H. and Wilfred L, also sisters F. Josephine and Mary E. were born. Some time between 1874 and 1876, our family moved to a house in the Valley. Here was born Maynard, who only lived about two weeks. In this house also was born brother George John.
I have already referred to the gathering on the family for the presentation of the "Golden Wedding" Bible, being held at this house. Again in 1878 I think the family moved back to the "Poplars".
Nothing of special interest to the other branches of the family occurred between this time and the fall of 1889. Then the "Poplars" was sold to John Parker, and our family moved to Halifax. For a time, we lived in a house on Barrington Street owned by the estate of John Andrew Wellner. The family lived in two other houses in Halifax. In the summer of 1892, sister Jessie, who had been in Massachusetts for several years, came home for a visit. She was very enthusiastic about the opportunities for employment in that country. She succeeded in persuading Harry to go there with her when she returned September 6th. On November 12th, father and James left Halifax for Boston, leaving me with mother, John, Josie and Mary to provide for. I had been working several years in the Electric Light Department of the Halifax Gas company and continued with them till February 9, 1893. After trying for some weeks to get other work, it was decided that the best thing to do was to join the others of the family in Boston. We packed up our belongings that we wanted to take with us and sold or otherwise disposed of the remainder. I left Halifax for Boston on February 25th by way of Saint John, all rail, arriving there the evening of the 27th. I found the other members of the family in an apartment at 577 Putnam Avenue, Cambridge. Mother, John and the little girls left Halifax March 1st via D.A.RY. and Yarmouth boat, arriving in Boston before noon March 2nd. The family lived in the Putnam Avenue house until October 9,1893.
I had to leave them shortly after I got work at the East Cambridge Power Station, as it was too far to walk to and from work. The family moved from the Putnam Avenue house to an apartment house on Windsor Street, near Hamshire Street, Cambridge, where they stayed about a year. Early in the summer 1895, they moved to a house at 201 Washington Street, Dorchester. At the time I was working in Newport, Rhode Island.
I came home early in July and went to work again for the old West End St. Ry. The latter part of October 1895, I was taken sick and went through a long and very serious illness, lasting twenty two weeks. During that time father was taken sick the day before Christmas and died December 27th. He was taken to South Rawdon, N.S. for burial. The family had very little thought then that they would permanently settle in the United States. On March 18,1897, Annie McKenzie and the writer were married in above mentioned house in Dorchester and went to live in Allston, Massachusetts.
That was the beginning of splitting up of the family. Within a few years each one of the boys married and set up homes of their own, also Josie. Jessie and Mary still remain in single blessedness. Until the present time 1931, all have been within easy distance of one another and if necessary could get together on two hours notice.
Mother, Jessie and Mary, for one reason or another moved a number of times, finally coming to South Braintree, where I had been living for some years. Here they lived first on Hancock Street, later moving to 1070 Washington Street within a few houses of where I lived. Hardly a day passed that I did not spend some time with mother. She was I know, very happy to have me so near her and I think we took more satisfaction out of being together than any other time in our lives.
Mother was taken sick on the 20th of September, 1928. On the morning of the 22nd, I spent some time with her. She seemed bright and hopeful of recovery. The doctor had been in to see her and thought that she was getting better. I left her to visit my son Maynard, who was living in Allson, about an hour's journey. Before I got there, Jessie had called up, leaving word for me to call her when I arrived. She informed me that mother had passed away without any warning, while Jessie was in another room. Some members of the family thought that she should have been taken to Rawdon and buried beside father. A very natural thought. On different occasions mother had expressed herself as not wishing to be buried in Rawdon and as desiring to be laid in a little cemetery almost in sight of her last home. As her children were a unit favor of that idea, it was so decided. Although she had only resided a few years in our town, mother had a large circle of friends. Her funeral was very largely attended and there was a very wonderful display of flowers.
Herbert C. Creed was at one time a teacher in the High School in Sydney, Cape Breton. While on a visit to Toronto, Ont., a few years ago, I had an experience which shows what a small place this world is. I was sent to a private family to get a night's lodging. After engaging a room, the lady of the house, quite and elderly person, asked me if I had not been there before, she said that I seemed very familiar to her. On giving her my card, she said, "Why I used to know a man by the name of Creed when I was a young girl at home in Sydney, Cape Breton. He was a teacher in the High School or Academy. I told her that he was my uncle.
I have very little knowledge of the early family history of Uncle Herbert. My earliest recollection of them was of their living in Fredericton, N.B. and every year or two, visiting the relatives in Newport and Rawdon. In the spring and summer of 1888, I was a frequent visitor at their home on St. John Street, while I was attending the Royal Military School. I will never forget the first evening that I called there. They were not expecting me and were very greatly surprised and pleased. I was made to feel at home and one of the family. Uncle was a Professor in the Provincial Normal School in Fredericton. He was very prominently identified with the Baptist Church in Fredericton and in the Provincial Baptist Convention. Uncle Herbert was a member of about every non-sectarian, non-political secret society in Fredericton; notably in the Masons, Oddfellows, and the Independent Order of Foresters. At one time he was Supreme Vice-Chief Ranger, of the Supreme Court of Canada of the last named order. I had the pleasure of conducting him through the degrees of the grange at Ashdale, N.S. I was much pleased to know that he considered those ceremonies compared very favorably with those of any other order of which he was a member.
Harry Dean Creed after his marriage lived in St. John for a few years, then he mover to Saskatoon, Sask. He is now living in Prince Albert, Sask.
Frank S. Creed has for some years lived in Sussex, N.B. His children are all married, living in Ontario.
Clifford S. Creed always lived in Fredericton and died there January 6,1929.
Vega L. Creed was a sweet, lovable girl and her death a very great grief to all who knew her.
I think probably every one of the family has fond memories of the old home of Aunt Sarah and Uncle Robert Davison. Their sons George, Walter, Leander and Charles were grown to manhood when Uncle Robert purchased the neighboring farm of James Stevens and moved there. In 1902 or 1903 George and his family moved to Alberta. He is now living at Toplands, Alberta. About the same time Leander also went to Alberta. For several years George, Leander and Cousin Richard Creed, owned adjoining sections.
Leander married Edith Watson in 1910. Whether before this or later, he moved to British Columbia. Both his wife and he died there within a year of one another, 1924 and 1925. I have not been able to get much information about Leander and his family.
Walter got the old Homestead and Charles the Stevens Farm. Walter died December 16,1929. His family still occupy the old Homestead. In May 1930, Charles bought the property formerly owned by Uncle Roland, also the adjoining farm of Francis Dimock and moved into the former house. He sold the Stevens Farm, or part of it.
Roland Hill Creed married Mary Phalen April 19, 1870. For some years he conducted the Faversham Farm. At Grandfather Creed's death possibly before he succeeded to the title of the property.
They never had any children, but adopted and brought up a boy they named Howard. In 1892 Uncle Roland and Mary left Rawdon, and went to Massachusetts, where for about two years he was employed as a farm manager.
In my diary for 1894, I find an entry that on June 1st., I visited Aunt Mary at her brother's home, in Norwood. She had been very seriously ill. Not long after that she and Uncle Roland returned to Rawdon. On August 6th. the same year, I was on a vacation visit to Rawdon and saw Uncle Roland and Aunt Mary at her father's home. I did not visit Nova Scotia again until September 1897. In the meantime Uncle Roland had purchased the property at Ashdale, formerly owned by Thomas Dimock.
On March 18, 1898, Aunt Mary passed away. Her sister Hattie was living with her at the time and stayed there afterwards as housekeeper for Uncle Roland. On April 18, 1901, Uncle Roland and Hattie Phalen were married. I visited them in September 1911. Uncle was then very much crippled with rheumatism. He carried on a small General Store business and had the Upper Newport Post Office.
Aunt Hattie died July 7th., 1927 and Uncle Roland on October 29th of the same year. Before his death Uncle deeded his property to Frank McQuarrie.
Many things that would have been of much interest and value to members of the Creed family were sold at auction. Uncle Roland was a devout member of the Baptist Church and a very enthusiastic "Son of Temperance".
Much more might have been written about the different branches of the family, that no doubt would be of interest, had I possessed the necessary information. At least one member of the family who was in a position to assist me in that way has neglected to do so.
It is my present intention to keep the register of births, marriages and deaths, up to date, providing the families keep me posted on the same.
As stated in the beginning of this brief History, very little information as to the origins of the family has been passed on to the descendants of Richard Creed. The earliest mention of the name that I have found, was in the Diary of Samuel Peppys sic (Pepys), Secretary to the Admiralty, in the reign of Charles 2nd and James 2nd, of England. One the date of April 19,1660, he mentioned Major Richard Creed, who commanded a troup under Lambert, when that General surrendered to Ingoldsby. A Mr. John Creed's name appears quite frequently in this Diary covering the five years from 1660 to 1665. He was a man of considerable importance in government affairs. Several members of our family have a sketch of the "Coat of Arms" granted to a Sir James Creed, Knight of St. Duston, in the East London and Battersea Surry, A.D. 1725.
Whether our ancestors belonged to the Nobility, or were only commoners is of little consequence at the present time. It may well be said of those of our Ancestors who are the subjects of this History that they were "Natures Noblemen", men of high character, integrity and intelligence.
I have been intimately acquainted with three generations. They were all total abstainers from intoxicating liquors and what is perhaps more notable, I do not know of but one Creed descendant of grandfather Creed, to the third generation, who is a tobacco user. I have never heard a whisper of scandal about any member of the family.
The Telephone Directory for Boston and vicinity lists some 260,000 persons; of the number only twenty-three are Creeds, five are members of my own family. From this it will be seen that our name is far from common.
I have had some knowledge of, or personal acquaintance with eight families of Creeds, no two of which were related, so far as I could learn. In 1894, I made the acquaintance of a Mr. Charles Creed, living in Cambridge, Mass. I saw the name in our city directory and thought perhaps it was Cousin Charles Creed, of Halifax. I called at his place of business only to find that he was a stranger. We soon became very well acquainted. In appearance and manner he resembled the older members of our family. I regretted to find that he knew very little of his own family, beyond his father. The family were natives of one of the South Shore towns of Massachusetts. I remember of his speaking of having a brother but do not remember now the names of either his father or brother. This family were evidently of English origin.
When I came to Braintree to live in 1914, I found that a Mr. George Creed's family was living in the town. He had died a year or two before. I have met his wife, who I would say was about 70 years old. On account of her being deaf and very difficult to talk with I have never tried to get better acquainted with her. Mr. Creed was a market gardener. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
A few years ago, while on a visit to New York City, I was calling on a friend, the Editor of an engineering magazine. After greeting me he turned to the young lady who was his Secretary and said "Miss Creed, allow me to introduce Mr. Creed from Braintree, Mass." After a few minutes conversation with her, I found that she knew very little of her family history.
For many years there has been a large family of Creeds living in South Boston, Mass. The father was a Judge in one of our Massachusetts Courts. I have been told that he was very much interested in the family genealogy and well informed on the same. It had been my intention to make his acquaintance. However, I put off doing so too long, as he passed away a year ago. This family was of Irish descent and Catholic.
ADDENDA
On March 12, 1931, Jane Haley passed away at the age of 82. There is now no one of her generation, either of the Creed or Wellner families living.
In the History of the Creed family, Mrs. Jane Crichton is mentioned as having known Great Grandfather Richard Creed. She now claims to have known or at least seen six generations of the Creed Family. This is a remarkable experience; to have seen six generations of any family.
While looking through some old papers, I came across and undated newspaper clipping to this effect:- The estate of John A. Wellner was valued at $16,482, consisting chiefly of mortgages to the value of $16,250 and the balance remaining for distribution was $5,736.80. Legacies had been paid as follows:- Heirs of Susan Creed; H.C. Creed; R.H. Creed; Sarah Davison, and the estate of E.S. Creed, $932.62 each. Assignees of Susan Shore, Jane Haley and James Wellner $274.30 each. The amount of $4,388.80 was set apart for Mary Woodworth's life interest.
Many of the family would be interested to know that I have Great Grandfather John A. Wellner's clock, which like Grandfathers Clock in the old song,
"---------------------------was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by far than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a penny weight more."
Unlike the clock in the song which 'stopped short never to go again, when the old man died". My clock keeps excellent time, though it must be 125 years old. I have been told that Granmother Creed had this clock for some years, but that no one seemed able to get it to run, until my father tried his hand at it and was successful. He was given the clock. The day I was twenty-one, the clock was presented to me, but with the reservation that it was to remain in the home until such time as father or mother thought best for me to have it. The works are of brass and are heavy enough to make several modern clocks.
I regretted very much that at the time Uncle Roland's effects were auctioned off, some 'rush' seated, ladder back chairs that originally belonged to Grandfather Creed, were allowed to pass out of the family. They are now owned by Charles McKenzie of Falmouth, N.S.
