History
Rev. Peter Keay was inducted as the pastor of the Greenock Presbyterian Church in St. Andrews NB in 1868. He had preached in Scotland from 1851 until he received an appointment from the Colonial Committee to preach in New Brunswick in 1854. He was ordained at Fredericton and preached in the Stanley Area, New Brunswick for fourteen years and laboured in St. Andrews for six years. In December of 1873 he was given a leave of absence to recuperate his health. While in McAdam New Brunswick waiting for a train he fell of the station’s platform and was killed instantly by an oncoming train at the age of 45 years. He was held in high esteem throughout New Brunswick and Scotland and his funeral was the largest that the town of St. Andrews had ever seen at that point in history.
The Keay family lived in the house built by Donald Morrison in 1827. Mr Morrison born in 1791, came from Rosshire, Scotland,he had moved to Boston, America, in the early part of the 19th century and then moved to St Andrews, New Brunswick in 1820 to practise his occupation as a House carpenter.
The Keay family remained in the home from 1868 to 1950.
