Description From Owner:

5 mi NE of Charlottetown in Lot 34. School c1861. PO 1878-1912. Possibly named for the farm of R. P. Haythorne (1815-1891), who was a magistrate in Marshfield, England before coming to PEI in 1842.
He served as premier here from 1869-70 and again from 1872-73 when he was called to the Senate.
French military engineer Louis Franquet (1697-1768) toured PEI in 1751 and noted in his report a reference to La Rivière des Blancs as the name for Marshfield Creek.
