Tangier: birth of a village by William M. Bradley,

This was the fourteenth day of July in the year 1790. At daybreak of this same day, George Mason, with his wife and five children, in company with James Sullivan, his wife and two adopted children, each in his own vessel, or shallop, as they were called, sailed from the South Eastern Passage of Halifax, seeking a new home in virgin territory. They were filled with the desire to challenge the rugged, unsettled country which none save the Indians knew. Untamed, wild and abounding in fish and game, it offered unlimited possibilities where free territory could be claimed for the taking. These two had often talked of the opportunities awaiting them. They had long desired to settle on one of the many secluded islands that would offer a measure of safety and protection from the Indians who were reported to inhabit the forests of the mainland, a place where they might fish and farm at their discretion, carving a home in the wilderness and a livelihood from the sea. It was with high hopes that they set sail after the many months of plans and discussion, and at this very moment they were trying to find a point on the rugged coastline which they had visited on at least two occasions quite some time before, during their explorations along the coast. . .
