People/Subject

Morrison, Kenneth

Kenneth Morrison was born in Scotland in 1831. He worked at the cooperage at the Hudson's Bay Company Fort Langley, and was one of the first people to pre-empt land, getting 160 acres just up river from the Fort. He called his home Barvis. He became a councillor in the first election held in Langley once it became a municipality. On July 31, 1859, Kenneth married Lucy Allard, whose mother was likely a member of the Hul’q’umi’num people, at the Fort Yale Wesleyan Methodist. The couple had children: Joseph, Matilda, Maggie, Alexander, Mary, Kenneth, William (Billy), and Elizabeth. He died May 18, 1900, and is buried in the Fort Langley Cemetery.
