ROE Rev PETER. He was a Church of England ordained minister, who served in Inverness Township from 1877 to 1895, with an Inverness Township circuit including Christ Church in Lower Ireland, St Stephens Church on the 11^th Range, known as Rectory Hill, and St Lukes Church in Adderley. He would have lived at the only C of E church in Inverness Tp. which had a manse, namely St Stephen's, Rectory Hill, 11^th Range of Inverness Township. Roe was evidently highly thought of by his congregations in Inverness, as numerous childen in the parish were baptized with the middle name 'Roe', during his tenure in Inverness. I do not know where Peter Roe was born, or what connection, if any, he had with the other Roes who settled in Megantic County. Children of Peter Roe (wife's name not known) :

1. Georgina Roe m in 1886 at C of E Inverness to John Eckersley, widower and customs officer of Halifax, NS. Child:
   1. Henry Reginald Roe 1887-1887
2. Francis Matilda Rroe m in 1892 to Dr Joseph Holdcroft

   Note : It is highly unlikely that Peter Roe ever lived in Leeds Tp., because at the same time as Roe served as a C of E minister in Inverness Tp, Leeds Tp had it's own C of E minister, Rev John B. D. Kemp who served Leeds Tp from 1870-1888, and who was then immediately followed by Rev Rothera 1888-1893 at Leeds.
