John Hunter-Duvar
and his mysterious wife, Annie Carter
John Hunter-Duvar (1821-1899) came to PEI from Scotland in 1857 and made his home at Hernewood on Mill River.
He edited the Summerside Progress newspaper from 1875-79, commanded the Prince County Militia, served as federal Supervisor of Fisheries from 1879-89 and established a reputation as a poet and dramatist.
His wife, Annie Carter (1826-1901) was surrounded by mystery. She received a quarterly allowance from a firm of English solicitors and refused to disclose any information about her parentage.
The only clue to her background was a note scribbled on the back of her husband's will to the effect that she "was a first cousin of Queen Victoria," and therefore likely one of the many illegitimate children of King George III and Queen Charlotte.
