Putting the time line together I have concluded that the small enfant mentioned in the history of the crossing of the great expedition to found the City of Halifax. was none other than Margaret DeBruhl
enfant daughter of Michael and Margaret DeBruhl. The dates all fit . The baby Margaret would have been only three months old when they set sail for Canada. Little Edward Cornwallis DeBruhl was born December of 1749. This would make the first casualty of the great expedition and the first child born after arriving to have been a DeBruhl! There is no record of Margaret after the family settled. I believe she was lost during the voyage and buried at sea.
