When Prince Edward Island came into British hands in 1763 there was a scramble for land grants which ended with 67 favored persons each drawing for 1 of 67 200 acre lots. Duncan McCallum married a daughter of Peter Gregor (Janet) who came to the island a short time after the McCallums and bought the farm adjoining his son-in-law. Duncan had a large family of which his two sons Neil and James, were prominent in the early history of the island. Neil, the eldest son was the first male child of British blood born in Lot 33.
