• Notes

  Matilda Reid Pender, the youngest daughter of James Pender and Margaret Pender (nee Reid) of New Jerusalem, Petersville Parish, Queens County, New Brunswick, was born 29 February 1832. Matilda married John Young December 8, 1868, the marriage taking place in Glassville at the home of her sister, Jane (Mrs. Hugh Miller). John and Matilda Young lived in what was believed to have been one of the first “plastered” houses in Glassville, said to have been built by the Simpson’s and Pearson’s. Matilda was considered a fine tailor due to her sewing skills. The family had sheep and she would collect the wool, wash it, wind it and spin it into yarn. She made blankets, yard goods, and men’s suits. She was also know for her beautiful quilts and cooking skills. Matilda died at home in Glassville 15 April 1904.
