Matthew (1745-1820), returned to New England in 1767, perhaps for a bride, marrying Janet Fisher (1750-1843) that same year (17 at the time), daughter of Deacon Samuel Fisher (3) and Sarah Taylor. Janet may have been related to Matthew's uncle, William Fisher (see discussion below under Eleanor Archibald). When they returned to Truro in 1767, Janet came with a 9 year-old half brother, Samuel A. Fisher who would later marry Mary Tupper (see that chapter for more details). Matthew was a very pious man and Bible Hill in Truro takes its name from him. He represented Truro in Parliament for 14 years from 1785 to 1799 and was also Justice of the Peace and Coroner of the District of Colchester for a number of years. When his wife Janet died in 1843, aged 93, she had 12 children, 100 grandchildren, 250 great-grandchildren, and 23 great-great-grandchildren (in total, about 385 descendents!). A very few of the more interesting of their children can be mentioned. A daughter Agnes (1770-1851) had a family of fourteen children that was remarkable for the times in that there was not a single death in the famiy till all 14 children were married and had families. A son Ebenezer (1779-1829) had a notable funeral. Miller writes that "the first funeral that was held in Truro (except it might have been at the very early settlement of the place) without the use of spirituous liquor, was the funeral of Ebenezer Archibald, which took place, August 10, 1829". Another son, Alexander (1788-1859), represented Truro in the house of Assembly from 1830 to 1842 and again from 1847 to 1851. He was a farmer, tanner, and a Major of the Militia. Finally, another son, John James (1790-1864), was on the "Committee of Management" of the first Temperance Society of Truro which was formed early in 1831; he perhaps had something to do with his brother's funeral?! Finally, the eldest son, Samuel Fisher Archibald, married Olive Scott, the niece of Mary (Scott) Widsom; see the Scott chapter for more information. John (1747-1813), was also a Grantee of Truro Township. In 1772 he married his cousin Margaret (1747-1809), daughter of William Fisher and Eleanor Archibald. He constructed his own house, the local mill, and a half-mile long water canal on his property. They had nine children and he remarried later in life to yet another cousin, Hannah Archibald, daughter of James Archibald, and widow of John Cummings. One of his daughters, Susannah, b. 1783, married Edward Brydon but she died of tuberculosis while her husband was in debtor's jail. The authorities allowed the body to be taken into the jail for Edward to have a last look at his wife! In August 2005 we found the graves of "Lieutenant Colonel John Archibald" and his wife Margaret (4). Janet (1750-1811), m. John Hingley and had seven sons and four daughters. They eventually moved to Salmon River (now Kemptown) where they farmed. David (1752-1818), m. in 1778 to Jane (ca. 1758-1824), eldest daughter of Alexander Miller and Nancy Anderson. He was known as David Archibald, 2nd. He was a Grantee of Truro Township and they settled on a farm on the south side of the Salmon River where they lived for 11 years, till 1789. He then sold his farm and they moved ten miles upstream to Kemptown where he built some mills. In 1793 the family moved to the Middle River of Pictou where be built another set of mills. In 1802 he returned to Kemptown for the rest of his life. In Sept. 1818 doctors in Truro amputated his leg, he having suffered for some time from a sore leg, but he died several days later. They had seven sons and two daughters. James (1754-1828), m. in 1779 to Rebecca (1763-1818), daughter of John Barnhill and Letitia Deyarmond of Chiganoise. James inherited a part of his father's property. He was a Justice of the Peace for many years and was an Elder of the Presbyterian Church from 1799 till his death. They had seven sons and five daughters. Two of their children married children of John Blair: a daughter, Nancy, married Samuel Barns Blair and Matthew m. Susannah Blair. In August 2005 we found the graves of both James and Rebecca in the Truro graveyard (4). Nancy, b. 1756, married her cousin John Taylor, the son of Matthew Taylor. Robert (1758-1794), died a bachelor. He was deaf and lived with his brother David at the Middle River of Pictou. Margaret, b. 1759, m. David Nelson in 1775 when she was 16. They lived on the interval of the Salmon River and had four sons and two daughters. He died in 1788 and she remarried to Jeremiah Murphy in 1789 and had two more sons. Martha, b. 1760, m. John Pratt and moved to Stewiacke where they died. They had five sons and three daughters. Samuel (1762-1833), was known as "Lame Samuel". His first marriage was to his cousin, Margaret Archibald, daughter of Thomas Archibald, in 1790. They lived on the east side of the Salmon River Road and had three sons and three daughters. Margaret died in 1809 and he remarried to Nancy Clayton in 1810. They moved to St. Mary's and had seven sons and one daughter. Elizabeth, the first child born in Truro, was b. in 1764 and died unmarried. Eleanor, b. 1768, m. Robert Morrison and moved to the United States. They had two sons and three daughters.
