Belmont: He (John BALLANDYNE) even accompanied the missionary party to Cumberland House, not only joining them “in the morning and evening worship”, but also attending to his own individual prayers “when arising from & retiring to rest.” Why did he go? Evidently EVANS told him he could not be baptised unless he gave up one of his wives. Consequently, he was probably taking Polly UMPHERVILLE to Cumberland House to arrange a marriage between her and Joseph McLELLAN (actually McLENNAN), whom she knew well because he had earlier worked at Moose Lake under BALLANDYNE.
