Free Love: Freelove Haszard Allen was convicted and sentenced to be hanged for stealing coins and clothing with a value of £25 from Colonel Robert Gray in 1796. Women in Charlottetown petitioned Governor Fanning asking for respite that she be banished from the island instead of hanging.

Half Moon Beach: My ancestors thanking me for bringing the
