Everett's first name appears in a family bible as a buriel date/year of 1869.My son for some reason has been led in another direction.It has been mentioned by an uncle of mine that, there perhaps was an Everett living in Amherest area before the family moved to Alma,Pictou County.

LEADBETTER

Hi:
I am trying to locate information on Peter Leadbetter who died in 1875 at the age of 65, buried in Palmerston Cemetery, in Pugwash. We are trying to find out where he was born and who for certain his parents were. Peter's wife was Susannah Worth from Cape Breton, daughter of Captain Benjamin Worth who came to Cape Breton from New Jersey and who was granted a land grant in Mabou, Cape Breton. The only information we have on Peter and Susannah is that in 1855 Peter purchased land in Pugwash from James Black. In 1864 Peter appears in one of the Newfoundland Directories for Harbor Grace where he is listed as a Carpenter. Several of Peter & Susannah's children are listed as having been born in Newfoundland, but no birth records have yet to be found... I have not located any Leadbetter listed on any Loyalist list that I've found yet. I also have not been able to locate much from New Brunswick on any settlement being done in 1770 or there abouts. I have most of the information on who Peter & Susannah's children were, I'm just trying to go back on Peter's life to find out where he was born and who his parents were. We have a piece of unsubstantiated information that there was a Peter Leadbetter born in 1817, but I've never been able to prove this or figure out where the author of the book, "Leadbetter Records", J.E. Ames came up with this information. Most of the early family information taking place in Boston from the 1600's I can prove with no much trouble as the records are still available to do so.

What I am trying to do is to tie Peter Leadbetter back to who I believe was his Grandfather, Henry Leadbetter, who left Boston in August 1770, with his wife, Sarah Cumber, and their 3 children: Henry, Peter & Sarah. When this family left Boston, it is theorized they went to NS, NB or NF, but, I have found no trace of this family after they left Boston. Our theory is that the Peter who was born in 1810 would have been the son of the Peter who left Boston in 1770 with his 2 siblings and his parents. I have not been able to prove this in almost 30 years of trying. However, when I started in 1979 I had nothing, and now all I need to do is to fill in a gap of only about 40 years, or roughly one more generation...

If I had any idea of what area of Nova Scotia was being settled during the 1770 or any records I could check to verify the 1817 birth of a Peter Leadbetter in Antigonish, I'd be on it in a flash. I've run out of ideas. The only other information I have recently found was a listing that Peter Leadbetter owned quite a bit of property in Halifax. If this were true, what agency would I contact to try and locate any information on this?

Anyone with any thoughts or suggestions on how to break through this brick wall I'd really appreciate the help!

Sincerely,
Jody B. Champlin

AMOS / ANDERSON / LATTA / McMORRIS / WOOD

I am researching Joseph Latta and his descendants on my husband's side of the family. Joseph was born about 1798 in Ireland, likely St. Johnston near Ardagh, and died in 1874 at River Hebert. He likely was in Nova Scotia by 1820. He married Elizabeth McMorris or Morris (1811 - 1844), who came with her parents to Cumberland County in 1817. Joseph and Elizabeth had four children: Abraham (1835 - 1919) who married Diana Wood, Matthew (abt. 1838 - 1864), Elizabeth (1840 - 1920) who married Thomas Edward Anderson of Sackville about 1861, and Jane (abt. 1844 - 1882) who married David Amos. Most of the Lattas in earlier times were in the River Hebert region.

Son of Blair and Violet Lewis

Submitted By: Daughter: Linda Lewis

This is simply the beginning of my genealogical research of my family (mainly of my father's ancestors and perhaps some of my sisters and brothers) whom I seem to know little about given the young age I left them (while living in Amherst Nova Scotia).

I originally tried to gather/research this information through the "proper" government office - Vital Statistics of Halifax, Nova Scotia and came up with very little information but many dollars spent.

Can you provide any assistance? Any sort of reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

LOWTHER

I am looking for help researching my family history. I am a LOWTHER and am looking for any information about the early family history. From what I have been able to find out, the Lowthers came aboard the TRAFALGAR in 1817. This ship ran aground on Briar's Island with no loss of live, although the ship and cargo were lost. Aboard were Joseph Lowther, William Lowther and his wife Hannah(Fox) and three children; Janathan Lowther, Thomas Lowther and another William Lowther and hi wife Hannah Greenly (sometimes seen as Greenlaw) and two of their children. William Lowther and Hannah Fox settled in PEI, while others settled in Cumberland County. I have also found mention of the Mary Lowther, aged 21 who came to NS aaboard the ALBION in 1774, and a Catherine LOUTHER (possible misspelling) and her husband James Stephenson from County Cavan, Ireland who also came to Canada (this time to Quebec) in the same year, 1817.

Any information that you could help me would be most appreciated.

Greetings,
I am researching my grandmother and her birth family. I believe she is: Veronica McEachren, born in 1881 in Londonderry and moved to Pugwash as a child. I can't find the family on the 189l or 1901 census. Her parents' names are John and Maggie. Is there any information please that you have that would help me in my search? The family were Roman Catholics and I wonder if there is a church record of her baptism but I don't know where to look. Thanks from Victoria, B.C.

MEADE

Good Morning, My original e-mail follows. I have had many replies but one has said that my Grandfather's name was Archie (Art) Meade and lived in Amherst. I am assuming that he has since passed away. If that is the case is there any record of this and does it link to my father, Thomas Edward Meade, born 1919. If you can confirm this I would be most grateful.

Thank you
Gary Edward Meade (Knott)

Good morning,

Please allow me to introduce myself. My birth name was Gary Edward Meade and I was born in England, UK, in 1943. My father, Thomas Edward Meade, was a Gunner in the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, No 3608. He was also shown as being a farmer on my birth certificate. He married my mother in 1941 in Beckenham, Kent, England. After the war he was reposted from Western Europe back to Canada. My mother and I followed some while later in 1946/7 from Plymouth to Halifax NS on the Acquitainia and then by train to Amherst where we were met by my Father and my Grandfather. We travelled by car for 'some hours' to the home of my Grandparents. That is the only information I have to the location of my place of residence for the next few months. The marriage did not work out and my mother and I went to stay with relatives, near to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US, named Meg and John Reid. Meg was the sister of my mother's father, James Jack who was Scots. We returned to England via the Queen Elizabeth and my mother eventually remarried in 1951, thus my change of name to Knott.

So, having given the background, what am I looking for? I am at present researching my roots and have uncovered a large number of relatives on my maternal side. My paternal side has one name only, that of my father. I am trying to trace my Canadian side and am at present coming up with a lot of blanks. I would like to know my Grandparent's names and also those of any other relatives I may have. Where they came from etc, etc. I am posting on this site for obvious reasons and also on the New Brunswick site as we may have travelled that far north. I have been surprised at the low number of Meade's so far as it was originally found in Scotland, Ireland and certain counties in England. If you can help or give me any leads I would be extremely grateful.

Many thanks

MORRIS

Hello Cumberland County Geneological Society,

I am writing to trace my grandmother's lineage. There are a few references online to a Samuel Morris b. Aug. 7, 1825 in Advocate Harbour, King's County and died Aug. 1913 in Advocate Harbour, in your county. I was wondering if there was any more information on him, since he may be my grandmother's grandfather. I am sure you've seen many sentences which begin with "the only information I have is..." but I will have to do this too.

The only information I have is as follows:

Father: Samuel Morris b?, d?
George Seymore Morris, b. April 19, 1868 - d. 1941 married Mabel Annie Kehoe (1883-1921), from the South Shore somewhere, daughter Hannah Sell Morris b. 1913 - Hants County, named after an aunt, I believe.

Thanks for your time. I hope this does not requrie a lot of effort.

RECTOR/SCOTT

Looking for information on Basil Earl Rector born August 18, 1904 in Springhill, Nova Scotia. Birth father possibly James Scott; Basil was adopted by Rueben and Emma Rector.
Rueben married Emma on March 23, 1895 in Springhill, NS and in the same year he left Emma to marry Emma's sister, Mary, as Emma could not have children. Emma married Samuel A. Morrow on Sept. 7, 1912 in NS. Samuel died about 1954 and Emma about 1967. Emma is buried in Upham, NS. Basil's birth mother may have died when Basil was 3 yrs. old and he may possibly have two sisters that were older than him. Partial adoption record shows that birth name may have been Earl Basil. Basil was a member of the Loyal Orange Lodge in Upham. In 1926 he married Blanche Sarah Buchanan in NB. Basil died at 36 yrs. of age on March 26, 1941 in Hanford Brook, NB.
Any information to fill in the gaps would be appreciated.

ROBINSON

Hello

Surname being researched is Robinson:

From reading "Historical Notes Parrsboro and Vicinity" by D. J. Taylor (in 1900) I have come across some of my families history displayed in a way that shows much of what aspects of life at the times were.

In it is described how John Parr Taylor was named for (and at the request of) the Governor in exchange for a grant of five hundred acres of land. Later the writings describe who the children of John Parr Taylor married. This is detailed at my site at: http://www.hayward-logan.com/Robinson/taylor.htm.

One of his children, married a Marchant Robinson, the quote from the writings is:

"Eunice daughter of John Parr , married Marchant Robinson of Parrsboro. They lived for a short time at Westbrook, and removed from thence to New Brunswick, They had some five or six of a family. They named their eldest son Silas Tuschess Rand Robinson for the Rev. T. S. Rand who at that time just commenced preaching at Westbrook. "The name" Silas Tuschess Rand Robinson. He lived with that name till about two years ago and succumbed."

One of the brick walls that I have come up against is that of Marchant Robinson, his family, and from whence he came. What I know can be found at our site at http://www.hayward-logan.com/Robinson/robinson.htm.

REID

The name I am searching for is

Surname---REID
given---------CAROLINE
d.o.b.--------8 Sept.,1866, Nova Scotia
death--------unknown
location----unknown

Caroline is my husbands maternal g-grandmother. All we can find out about her is that she met and married abt. 1889/90 or early 1891,--Richard Curnow Hawke, b.1863 Penzance ,Cornwall, England, We are assuming they were married in Nova Scotia because there are no records of the marriage in the BC Archives index.

According to the 1901 BC Census they were living in Victoria, BC, Caroline is listed as being born in NS, which to me means Nova Scotia? They had 3 children by then , all of whom were born in Victoria,BC.Their first child was born 1891.

In the BC1901 Census report they were living on Johnson St. and as well as Caroline and Richard and their 3 children, Richards parents were also living with them, Loveday Curnow ( maiden name), Hawke and Leonard Hawke.

There is no record of her death in BCArchives.

I'm sorry that is all the info I have about Caroline, but I'm keeping a positive thought that some helpfull info will come my way.

Thank-you,

SALT

I'm researching my wife's family and we know that four of her Great uncles emigrated to Canada. We've been able to contact the families of the three who went to Saskatchewan but have had little luck with the fourth. He was

William Bassett Salt born 5th November 1863, Staffordshire (Bradnop area) and died 14 March 1950, possibly Pugwash area.

He was the eldest child of:

Hezekiah Salt and Hannah Bassett. Hannah died in 1869 and Will was brought up by his father and stepmother, Ann Mycock.

He had three daughters in England by his first wife, Emma Maria Cawdell (1863-1900): Ethel Maud (b 1891), Stella Margaret (b 1892) and Dorothy May (b 1894).

He farmed at Mount Pleasant, Belper, Derbyshire in the early 1890s before moving to Breach Farm, Packington, Leicestershire before Dorothy was born. From Trades Directories, I know he was at Breach Farm in 1904 but he was in Canada by 1914 from family archives. In Canada he had four more children by a second wife whose identity is unknown. The second family were Donald, Nora, Marjorie and Rob.

The suggestion of Pugwash came from one of his nephews in Lloydminster, who recalled being told he had "an uncle in Pugwash" but I have no further details. I would be grateful if you would enter the details on your database and for any suggestions you might have as to how I might progress the search.

Hi there - that birth date for my great grandfather could be May 14, 1889 - I have seen that there was a John Smith died at age 52 in Amherst and according to the obit that I have he was 52 so I'm assuming that is he, however I have seen his WW1 attestation paper and the date there (in his handwriting) reads 1887. So I'm not sure.

STEWART

I'm hoping you can help me. I'm looking for a death record for a gr-gr-grandfather. John C. Stewart died sometime between 1869 (birth of last child with Emeline Betts Stewart), and the census of 1871. In that census he is missing (name was incorrectly listed as Steward and listed Emeline and the boys; Balcolm, Kempton and Johnson). In 1873 Emeline is married again to a Thomas Fillmore and is listed as a widow. The info listed for John C. Stewart is: born in Nappan and living in Little River at time of marriage in 1865. They lived in Little River at the time of last baby in 1869. Emeline then appears without John in River Phillip 1871 census. John listed as 29 at time of marriage in 1865 and his father's name was Henry.
Not sure if this is too much info or not enough!! Thanks for your time and effort,

TEED

My name is Carl Miller of Moose Jaw, Sask. and being a descendant of the Teeds of the Wentworth area through my Mother, Florence Miller [nee; Teed] I am very interested in obtaining more of the Teed history. I am in possession of the "Daniel Teed- United Empire Loyalist" book which gives a fairly comprehensive history of the early Teeds in Cumperland County, but has many gaps in it. In your article i note that Teeds were brick manufacturers in Wentworth. I would appreciate hearing more about this ie. which Teed was involved etc. I enjoyed your article about the history of the Wentworth area and would like to see more of the same. I am afraid that some parts of local histories are long lost and forgotten which is a shame.

WEBB

I have been searching for a Josiah Webb that was born in Nova Scotia in1796, possibly came from River Phillip.

He apparently moved to N.B. and married a Ruth Jenkins in Kingston, N.B. and later moved to Jerusalem, Hampstead Parish, Queens Co., N.B.

I have his decendants but cannot locate his ancestors. Perhaps his parents moved to N.S. from the states.

There was a Noah Webb, but Josiah does not seem to be in this line of Webbs.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

WHITE

I hope to learn more about the White family of Amherst. This is what I have found so far, and can stand to be corrected:

Gen 1
(The Williams are many, this is how I have assigned their death dates from Christ Church Anglican Records)
William White I (died April 18, 1831, age 68) married unknown. ?Mary Present in the 1827 Census: Methodist. Household: 13 persons, 5 males, 6 females, 1 servant, 1 labourer. Farmer, with 80 acres of cultivated land.

Gen 2
His son William White II (?d. May 22, 1842) married Nancy Caroline Morse (1784-1815 age 31), daughter of Alpheus Morse of Amherst (marriage bond 28 October 1800); Present in the 1827 Census: Church of England. Household: 2 males, 1 female. Farmer with 15 acres of cultivated land. They both are in the Old Burying Ground, Amherst #M-144.

Gen 3
Children of William White & Nancy Caroline Morse

- William White III (?d. January 21, 1850) married 1st cousin, Mary Morse, daughter of John Alline Morse (son of Alpheus Morse) and Abigail Chapman. (Marriage bond June 1826 for William White, Amherst, Cumberland County, Occupation: Gentleman. William White and John Morse of River Philip signed the bond.) Old Burying Ground, Amherst (M-141)

- eldest daughter Mary Eliza White, (died 13 Feb 1866) married Mar 14, 1835 Joseph Reade (born in County Clare, Ireland, died 19 Nov 1862 Bathurst NB). She was married as "daughter of William White, Amherst"

- Ruth White (born ~1814) married 1845 in Amherst, 2nd wife, John Woolner Esq. (born ?1808 England) Shipbuilder, Bathurst NB. She was married as "daughter of the late William White", so he was the William who died 1842.

Gen 4
Son of William White III & Mary Morse James Stewart White (1827 Amherst–1909 Oromocto NB), married Sarah Isabel Hazen (1829-1907) of Oromocto, New Brunswick, daughter of Charles Hazen of Oromocto & Sarah Nevers Perley of Maugerville. This is where I come in, 4 generations later.

The Morse family is certainly well-researched, but I have found very little on the Whites. Can anyone add to and/or correct this? Does anyone know their origin before Amherst? Did the family continue in Nova Scotia?

Cordially
