Biography

Peter was born in 1841. He is the son of Morell Barter and Mary Beck[1].

Peter and Elizabeth Sinclair were married on 29 Oct 1868 in New Richmond, Quebec[2].

Peter and his wife Elizabeth are listed in the 1871 Canada Census[3]. They are living right next to his father, Morrel, with Peter's older brother, William, living on the other side of them.

Peter's family has swollen in the 1881 Canada Census with wife, Elizabeth, and five children: Hudson (10), Annie (8), Ellie (6), Evlyn (spelling uncertain, a son, age 4), Ellis (1)[4].

In the 1891 Canada Census, Amber has joined the family (age 10). Hudson is 20, Ellie 16, Evlyn 14, Ellis 12[5]. Annie would be 18 but no longer listed with the family. She passed away on 25 OCT 1882 in New Richmond, Bonaventure Co., Québec, Canada[6].

According to Darlene Campbell[7], the family consists of:

  • Peter BARTER b: ABT 1839 in New Richmond, Bonaventure Co., Québec, Canada
  • Elizabeth(2) SINCLAIR
  • William Sydney BARTER b: 9 AUG 1869 in New Richmond, Bonaventure Co., Québec, Canada
  • Alfred BARTER b: 22 APR 1871
  • Susan Anne May BARTER b: 23 MAR 1873 in New Richmond, Bonaventure Co., Québec, Canada
  • Christian Ella BARTER b: 7 JUN 1875 in Grand Cascapedia, Bonaventure Co., Quebec, Canada
  • James Ellis BARTER b: 22 JAN 1880
  • Elizabeth Amy (Amber in her baptism record) BARTER b: 2 APR 1882 in Grand Cascapedia, Bonaventure Co., Quebec, Canada

Peter (age 80) and Elizabeth (age 73) are in the 1921 Canada Census in Matsqui (Abbotsford) , living with their son, Ellis (age 40), and grandsons Herbert (18) and Cecil (16)[8].

In the 1901 Canada Census[9], Peter's family is still in Bonaventure Quebec. This census lists a person's birth date: Peter = 28 Feb 1840; Elizabeth = 11 Jun 1850; Ellis = 22 Feb 1880; Ellen (Ellis's wife) = 24 Jun 1881; and Amis (Amie... Amy) = 1 Apr 1882.

Peter's family, nor that of his son's, Ellis, can't be found in the 1911 Canada Census.

Peter ends his days in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, dying in Matsqui (Abbotsford), and being buried in the Aberdeen Cemetery. The gravestone reads: "In Loving Memory of - PETER MOREL BARTER - DIED DEC. 31, 1925 - Age 84 Years - Asleep in Jesus"[10] Elizabeth and perhaps a daughter in law are also buried in the same graveyard. His death record lists Father's Name: Alfred Morrel Barter; Mother's Name: Ann Beck; Spouse's Name: Elizabeth Barter[11].
