| Hon. William PUGSLEY - Descended from an old
Loyalist family of English origin, his great grandfather, John
PUGSLEY of New York, was a prominent officer in the British
forces during the Revolutionary war. When the disastrous
campaign of 1782-3 led to the recognition of the new republic,
Mr. Pugsley came to New Brunswick and settled on the Hammond
River (Kings Co.). His son Daniel PUGSLEY moved to Cardwell,
then part of Sussex parish, where he died at the ripe age of 84,
having been one of the wealthiest farmers in the county. His
son, William Pugsley, sr., father of the subject of this sketch,
when a young man, purchased and settled upon a large farm at
Sussex Vale. He married a daughter of the late George
HAYWARD, a resident of Sussex. It was on the farm that Dr.
Pugsley was brought up and like most country boys, he was
engaged in the work of the farm. Having finished his preliminary
studies at the school in Sussex, he entered the University of
New Brunswick at an unusually early age in September 1865. After
graduating Dr. Pugsley entered the study of law in the office of
Crawford & Pugsley. The senior partner of the firm was Hon.
J. Herbert Crawford and the junior partner was Gilbert R. PURDY,
brother of the subject of this sketch. Dr. Pugsley, after
graduating from Fredericton, matriculated with honors into the
University of London in 1877. In 1878 he took the degree of
D.C.L. (see original for political career) 18 May 1889 PROGRESS |
