i ACROSS THE ISLAND

“Wild Bill Cody “Born In P.E.L.?

of By NEIL A. MATHESON Provincial-Farm Editor

BUFFALO BILL Cody was born ‘in this province on a farm owned atthe time :by Dick Creed of Sturgeon: Apparently the date was 1846, for that. is the birthdate attributed by . American publications to the man. who became a famous U.S. frontiersman. ‘ . 2 : i

The U.S. publications report that William Frederick Cody, as_he was christened,, was born on-a Scott County farm in Towa. They give the date as February 26, 1846.

The bold statement in my first paragraph comes-as the ‘Pesult_of information -I. have -gleaned—from..a-number_of_re- liable sources. I think immediately of Georgé Laird, Souris,” who has long been a devoted student of Island history. Another man just as well known is James: (Big Jim) Pendergast of Charlottetown, formerly: of Kensington. And one of the most convincing bits of proof comes from John Cairns, Dunstaf- ~fnage who is also interested - in digging up unusual *Rap- penings from the Island’s past:

: -' MR. LEARD told me he talked in 1949 with Hector Mac- ', Kay, Desable who told him Buffalo Bill Cody was.born on the farm owned at the time by Dick Creed at Sturgeon.

Mr. MacKay has said that the boy left P.E.I. with- his parpnts, when he was 18 months: He said his birth was registered in New York State, that’s -why there: was no proof of Cody’s Island birth, Mr. MacKay told Mr. Leard. | -

Mr. MacKay said‘also that he had talked to-Murdock ~MacLeod- of Bonshaw who once talked to Will Cody, -and Cody. has told Mr. MacLeod.'that--he--had--been born on . Prince. Edward Island. Both Mr. MacKay and Mr. Stewart _ have died since the time referred to here.

, Pendergast talked some 12 years ago with a man ¥;

called “Twitter” Johnson who had worked in a circus at . Boston-with Buffalo Bill. Cody had told eee NE was born on Prince Edward Island.” -

From Weekly Examiner Files.

MR. LEARD also showed me an extract from ‘The Weekly Examiner of Friday, June 3, 1887 which said: :

“Will Cody was born at Hope River, P.E.1., a son: of Patrick Cody who went to Ohio.” ;

Well that’s quite the assortment of statements on Cody's birthplace, but here’s the one ‘John Cairns gave me and it is, perhaps, the:most sensational of them all;—certainly it more of the ring of truth than most of the others. In- J s two documents, both of them interesting. He to men. for’ this. column.

ee one ae Ee ae Albion Bay, Kings County, P.E.I. Mr. Creed . over an indentation on his- father’s farm, located yards north of the old dwelling place of his father’s < is father’s name also was James Creed. The Creed : “family settled in P.E.I. just after the American revotution- ary war—they.were United- Empire: alists. : “James Creed, Jr. pointed to the indendtation as the cellar + ef the house in which William’ Cody was born. He also told me that two weeks after his birth, young Cody’s ‘parents moved to Ohio. They borrowed the price of the tickets from James.Creed, Sr.’’:

If I may-depart from the direct quotation for a minute, Dr. Westaway said that a road that led off the Montague and Sturgeon road was known as ‘The Cody Road, or lane.’ = The Cody family were Scotch, he added.

But listen to this from Rev. Dr, Westaway in his own words:

‘““Mr. Creed told me that Buffalo Bill wrote about his own life and mentioned that he was born in P.E.I. The. Americans did not care for his autobiography, so hand book may be hard to find.’’ .

Before I leave Dr- Westaway, it’s interesting te note hee explained jin his letter ‘‘My grandfather, Richard Westaway, and his brother John were shipbuilders. They built square riggers and traded on-the Seven Seas. The last ship they built, ‘The Westaway’, was launched in 1883 at Albion Bay. It was owned and’ sailed by a. giant of a man, Captain James Westaway’

Continuing about the Cody tale, Rev. Dr. Westaway told Mr. Cairns ‘‘there is a Richard Westaway who lives at. Albion Bay. He may be able to give you some history, ete.”

Earlier Settlers Told Cody Story

MR. CAIRNS weft te see this: Richard Creed whe died only a few years ago, and received from him a written note ‘which Mr.. Cairns kindly passed on to me.

Mr. Creed said in part “I have every reason. to believe that , William Cody (Wild Bill) was born at. Albion, P.E.I. about 1840, and his family migrated to the United States when he was still a young child."’ : There's a spot known as “Cody's. swamp" and there are -many tales told of strange things being seen at night | as pedestrains pass that way

All of the. earlier Settlers often told about the Cody family living in Albion. ‘‘Whén they used to hear’ of William's wild exploits, they would at once recall about his family having lived in this part~-of the country” concluded Mr.| Creed who was: writing his letter in Albion.

With that I ledye, temporarily at least, the saga of Wild Bill. Cody being born in this province.

I have talked- to many, many people about. this tale. . _ Many. have helped me get the story I have told. here. Only yesterday I talked to Rev, F. P. Mullaly, who retired from _ the Priesthood only last week, after a pastorate ‘of many ’ years in Sturgeon parish, close to the area of which I’ve been talking. The records of the Sturgeon Roman Catholic church only go back to 19867, Father Mullaly told me. Farlier records were destroyed by, fire,1 understand.

I want to thank all-of Ahose whto have ‘helped .me on this “={nteresting=story;~but- a special’ Cairns. He’s the man who. first told me about the idea of' Cody being born in this province
