Joseph and Eleanor left from the port of Hull Mar 11,1774 on the ship Albion (Thomas Perrot, master). They intended to land at Halifax, Nova Scotia, early in May 1774, however, due to smallpox on board, they had to anchor 2 miles offshore. They continued to the Bay of Fundy and arrived at Cumberland Creek, below Fort Cumberland (Fort Beausejour) May 17, 1774. They spent the first year in the Petitcodiac River area, but due to the marauding pirates from New England (the American War of Independence was about to begin) they moved upstream to the area near the present town of Salisbury. Joseph was killed in a logging accident while helping a neighbour, William Sinton cut down trees. Sinton came to New Brunswick on the same ship as Joseph and was apparently from the same part of Yorkshire. Sinton married the widow and helped raise the two children.
