David Archibald, Esq., was the eldest of four brothers who settled in Truro. They arrived in Nova Scotia with a number of others on the 13th day of December 1762. He was a leading man in society; was the first Justice of the Peace who was settled in Truro; was first who represented Truro Township in Parliament. He first took his seat June 5th, 1766. His name stands first in the Grant of said Township, also to the call given the Rev. Daniel Cook, which was dated September 13th, 1770. His name is also at the head of the list of elders of the Presbyterian congregation. These were chosen in the summer of 1770. He had his front lands on the north side of Salmon River. His house stood near George McLeod's, on what is called Bible Hill. At one time a thief was brought before him for trial, and the sentence was, "That the thief should be tied to a cart and driven from the Hill across the River, down round the Parade, and back to the Hill again; and that the driver should use the whip more freely on the thief than on the horse. Mr. Archibald was born in Londonderry, Ireland, September 20th, 1717. Elizabeth Elliott, his wife, was born June 10th, 1720. They were married May 19th, 1741. He died about 1795.
