Custodial history
Scope and content
The contents of the fonds are records collected by Alice Fraser relating to her Aitken family ancestors of Kings County, PEI. The information was compiled into an one-hundred page book of Aitken family geneaology written by Alice in 1974. A large portion of the fonds consists of Johnson Aitken's documents. His account book documents the business of his Livery in Lot 52 (1837-1846) and accounts for the grist mill he operated with his father (1840-1850). There is a separate account of J.W. Wightman for the mill dated 1837. Correspondence relating to Johnson's profession of Under Sheriff of Kings County, including his deeds of appointment for 1835 to 1839 and 1843 is included. The fonds also contains Johnson's accounts with William MacKay and Company (1838) and Samuel Ford, a copy of James Aitken's will (1909), and correspondence relating to the congregations and ministers of the Three Rivers and Montague Presbyterian churches (1837-1843?).
