CYRUS PECK, born at Horton, N. S., about 1776. There were just seven years between the ages of the first and second son, and between the second and the third son. He was educated at Kings College, Windsor, Nova Scotia, and was ordained a clergyman of the Church of England by the first Bishop Ingles, and was appointed rector of St. Luke's Parish in Annapolis County and chaplain to His Majesty's forces at Annapolis Royal. He married, January 11, 1810, Phebe, youngest daughter of Henry Rutherford of Digby, Nova Scotia, formerly of New York, and a member of the firm of Nash & Rutherford, brokers to the British Army. Shortly after the death of his wife, which occurred about 18??, he removed to England, where a good parish was offered to and accepted by him at Brixham, Devon. He was drowned in Tor Bay while yachting, with two of his men whose bodies were recovered, while his own was not, although every effort was made to recover it and a reward of £500 offered.

from "A Sermon Preached before the Incorporated Society", by Rev William Lord Bishop of London, 21 Feb 1817 (google books)
The Rev. Cyrus Perkins, Missionary at Annapolis, has represented the state of his health to be so infirm; that, on his earnest solicitation, the Society have agreed to accept his resignation the ensuing spring, and to recommend him to Government for the pension of 100, promised to those Missionaries, who, after ten years service under the protection of the Society, have become, either through age or infirmity, incapable of performing the duties of the Mission. Mr. Millidge, Missionary at Granville, will succeed Mr. Perkins at Annapolis, and Mr. Hibbert Binney, a young man of great promise, who had completed his studies at the College of Windsor, to the satisfaction of the President and Professors, and who had come to England last year or ordination, has been appointed to Granville.

On Monday last, about half-past one o'clock, p.m. the Reverend Mr. Perkins, of Brixham, left that place in his boat; he had rounded the Bay, seaward, visited Torquay, and was on his return, when about five, p.m. a thunderstorm came on, the lightning was most vivid, the wind sprung up, and veering to every point of the compass, blew a complete whirlwind; the boat encountered one of its violent gusts, and, with its inmates (Mr. P. and an old Boatman), instantly disappeared. The accident was seen from Torquay. The Rev. Gentleman had just left, and a boat put off to render assistance. As the persons in it neared the spot they saw a person in a white shirt, swimming, and vainly endeavouring to buffet with tremendous waves that rolled into the Bay, but before they could reach near enough to render assistance he had sunk. Mr. Perkins has left two children to lament his loss.

Cyrus married Phebe Rutherford on 11 Jan 1810 in Trinity Anglican, Digby, Digby, Nova Scotia. Phebe (daughter of Henry Rutherford and Sarah Eustus) was born in 1789; died on 26 Oct 1820; was buried in Old Burying Ground, Halifax, NS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

from "The Annapolis Spetator", 18 Oct 1911 (Annapolis Heritage Society)
The death of Mr Cyrus A Perkins on Thursday morning last removes from town one of its most esteemed citizens and the last survivor among us of the third generation of the family established here by the Reverend Cyrus Perkins, a graduate of King?s College, Windsor, before it had received its charter as a university, who succeed the Reverend Mr Bailey as Rector of St Luke?s in 1808 and held the position until 1817, when, being offered a parish in England he went there, and met his death by accidental drowning in crossing a river. He was the first Church of England clergyman in the old town who recognized the necessity and duty of keeping a regular and full parish register. Reliable tradition represents him as a man of good ability, fine personal appearance and dignified presence. He married Mary, daughter of Henry Rutherford, a prominent loyalist who settled in Digby and represented that town in the House of Assembly from 1793 to 1808. The reverend gentleman had a brother who settled in Jamaica and was the father of Lady Burton, wife of Sir George Burton, late Chief Justice of Ontario. His son William B Perkins, the father of the subject of this notice was form many years proprietor of one of the old hotels in Annapolis Royal, and was very popular with the travelling public in those quiet old days as a well informed, genial and gentlemanly host, who strove to make the sojourn of his guests homelike. He married Mary, daughter of Isaac Woodbury and widow of James Delancey Harris, the mother of our citizen Bonnett Harris, who is thus a half brother of the deceased. Mr Perkins succeeded his father in the hotel business and conducted the house now known as the Queen Hotel, which he left about 15 years ago and bought the Hillsdale where he and his family have since made an agreeable house for our summer visitors. Mr Perkins was for some time, considerably interested in gold mines in Caledonia the returns from which did not realize the expectations of their proprietors. He was of a most generous and confiding disposition and always ready to help a friend financially, when he had the means, even when it involved risk and inconvenience to himself. He was a liberal in politics and in old times a warm supporter and friend of the late Hon. WH Ray. He was in his 75th year. He leaves a widow who was a Miss Turner of Lawrencetown, 2 sons, Cyrus A, an electrical engineer, and William B of Middleton, and 3 daughters: Mrs Carman O'Dell, Mrs Charles Sweeny of Yarmouth, and Miss Lottie at home. Funeral services were on Saturday, Reverend H How officiating.

Cyrus married Emma Jane Turner on 18 May 1868 in Annapolis Royal, Annapolis, NS. Emma (daughter of William Turner and Caroline McGregor) was born on 23 Jan 1848 in Nova Scotia; died on 6 Jul 1923 in Annapolis Royal, Annapolis, NS; was buried in Woodland Cemetery, LeQuille, Annapolis, NS.

Annapolis Hotelier Holds Taxi Record (by Hortense Spurr Gilliatt)
William R Perkins, genial owner and operator of the Hillsdale House in Annapolis Royal for the past 44 years, is the great grandson of Reverend Cyrus Peck Perkins, who was sent out from England by King George II as chaplain to His Majesty?s Forces in Annapolis Royal, and who later was the second rector of St Luke's Anglican Church here. William Perkins? father, the late Cyrus Alexander Perkins, bought the Hillsdale House in 1897. When he died in 1919[sic], Mr Perkins took over and has operated it ever since. He says, that when he was a lad of 8 years he was playing on the third storey of a building being built in town and fell to the cellar. He was down that time, but ever since has been moving up, he declared.
Worked Many Hotels
He has worked in many hotels-as a bellboy in the Vanderbilt in New York; in a hotel in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1907, when that town celebrated its 300th anniversary; in St Georges in Hamilton, Bermuda; in the Clarendon Hotel in Daytona Beach, Fla.
One of the First Taxis
From 1911 to 1914, he ran the Central House in Middleton and owned a Livery Stable in connection with it. It was during this period that Mr Perkins owned 3 race horses: Bellmack, Brian Queen and Royal Harry. The last one won a prize at the Halifax Exhibition for 3 classes ? best saddlehorse, road horse and all-round horse. With the coming of motor cars, Mr Perkins switched his interests to taxi-ing. He holds the record for being one of the first taxi drivers in Canada. This honor was challenged in 1957 by William Rathwell of North Bay, Ontario who started taxi-ing in 1914, but Mr Perkins disproved this claim, and retained the record. He began in 1912, and has held a taxi license for 50 consecutive years. He says: ?I didn?t get one this year as I don?t want to run any opposition to the boys in town. Mr Perkins first taxied for the late Captain John Spurr, who built the first Colonial Arms Hotel at Deep Brook overlooking Victoria Bridge. (The same deep sea captain who used to say: ?I sailed through Hell?s Gate to marry my bride in Paradise, Nova Scotia.)
$120 in One Day
Mr Perkins bought his first Overland car for $1250, and paid for it in 6 weeks taxi-ing. One of his best days, he says was at the Bridgewater Exhibition, when with a 10 cent far, he made $120 ? all in one day. He has made some 25 motor trips to Florida and has also motored to Mexico and California. The Hillsdale House is furnished with priceless antiques. One show piece is the bed in which King George V slept when he was a cadet in town. His signature is also on the register. Mr Perkins is a gardener, on the side. He grows pansies, roses and other flowers which fill the huge platters that decorate the dining room as well as the fresh vegetables for the meals. His sister, Miss Charlotte I Perkins is famous for her book ?The Romance of Old Annapolis Royal?. In 1919, Mr Perkins married Miss Caroline Orde, who has been a great help to her husband, in making his success throughout the years.
