The Descendants of Henry Pullem and Elizabeth Cohu, of Guernsey In May, 1806, a group of families from St. Peter Port, Guernsey, arrived in Prince Edward Island, where they settled near Murray Harbour. Of this group, at least three of the families were already closely related. Elizabeth, the wife of Henry Brehaut, and Frances (Francoise), the wife of Daniel Machon were sisters. A third sister, Marguerite, was the widow of Jean Nicolle; her son John Thomas Nicolle seems to have been part of the immigrant group.
