Hillside Cemetery

arewerelated2007 — 5 Oct 2008 12:37:16 GMT

Is there an index of interments for Hillside Cemetery in Springhill?

I am trying to track down a death for Margaret (Butler) Faulds who was married to Andrew FAULDS. According to Andrew's death registration on novascotiagenealogy.com, he was buried in Hillside Cemetery and Springhill. Have been unable to find anything on Margaret after the census of 1881 where she is living with her family in Maccan. In 1891, Andrew remarried Amy Ripley and was listed as a widower, so I know Margaret died sometime within those ten years, but because those records are not available on NSG, I haven't been able to track down anything for her.

Thanks for any assistance

Would anyone in the Amherst, N.S. area be willing to take a digital photo of a specific "Kent" gravestone in Amherst Cemetery and email it to me? I have the location & description and a sketch of this stone (provided by the Cumberland County Museum)so I would suspect that it would not be hard to find. I would really appreciate having a photo of it. Also if you could tell me if their appears to be other related "Kent family" graves in the vicinity of this gravestone.

John AVERY, Partridge Island-Parrsboro 1776

Eileen_15 — 8 Aug 2008 8:12:51 GMT

Seeking information on what became of John AVERY & family after he sold his land grant in 1776/77.

In 1776, John AVERY, John LOCKHART & Jacob BACON received a land grant at Partridge Island [later Parrsboro]. They ran a ferry between Partridge Island to Windsor.

Two things happened soon after, that may be connected.

In Nov 1776, a James AVERY of Chignecto joined Col. EDDY in a rebellion against the King. James AVERY was taken prisoner and escaped.

In 1777 John AVERY sold his portion of the Partridge Island land grant to his partners.

Does anyone know where this John AVERY family moved? Or anything about the children of John AVERY?

Obituary - Eliza Smith, died 17 July 1935, d/o Samuel Mills, w/o Charles Albert Smith

DawnEdlund — 2 Aug 2008 3:46:58 GMT

From the Moncton Daily Times, published Friday, 19 July 1935, page 9:

Mrs. Albert Smith

Fort Lawrence, N.S., Jul 18 -- The death of Mrs. Eliza Smith, widow of the late Albert Smith, occurred at her home here Wednesday morning. The deceased had been in poor health for the past few months but her death came as a sudden shock to the community. The late Mrs. Smith was 87 years of age and was the daughter of Samuel Mills of Mapleton, N.S. She leaves to mourn 6 daughters, 4 sons, 31 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. The daughters are: Mrs. J.W. Carter, Point de Bute; Mrs. Osborne Trueman, Truemanville, Mrs. Charles Trenholm, Fort Lawrence, Mrs. George Trenholm, Watrous, Sask.; Mrs. Alfred Angus, Willmar, Sask., and Mabel at home. The sons are James, Amherst; Edgar, Black River, N.B.; John, Halifax, and Hubert, at home.

I looked around a bit on the Nova Scotia genealogy website, and found that Charles Albert Smith married Eliza Mills on 27 Dec 1866. Mrs. J.W. Carter is their daughter Alice, married 1890; Mrs. Osborne Trueman is their daughter Nora, married 1896; Mrs. Charles Trenholm is daughter Blanche, married 1912; Mrs. George Trenholm is daughter Julia, married 1908, and Mrs. Alfred Angus is daughter Annie, married 1904.

Samuel Mills died in 1921 in Cumberland County, at 102 years of age. The informant for the death record is his grandson, Edgar Smith.

I am interested in the above gentleman and the area called Wallace Bay. Eventually where he lived was called Pleasant Hills. My ancestor John Crawford arrived with his wife Jane and three children, via ship from Ireland on or about 1820. He was married in Ireland to a Jane Goodwin and they had 8 children...6 boys and 2 girls. He died at Port Hill, Prince Edward Island at the residence of his son Henry, on January 24, 1877.

Their second son my ancestor was a Joseph Crawford born in Londonderry, Ireland 15 September 1818. He married Phoebe Peers [daughter of Ephraim Peers 1767-1843] date/location unknown, but presume it was Wallace Bay and they had 2 children, Jane Ellen and Daniel Peers my great grandfather. Joseph died in Wallace Bay on 25 July 1857 [cemetery records] or 25 July 1852 [gravestone]?? Phoebe died 1 May 1864 in Wallace Bay.

I have written a book, presently with an agent/editor about the families listed above. It is called "Seven Crows A Secret" and will be published soon.

I am wondering if there will be any interest in having this book in the Amherst and region libraries. It is an historical narrative.

It mentions the two black slaves which were owned by Stephen Read and left to his sons in his 1800 will. They are not named but I believe are buried in the little gravesite on what is listed as "Read's Island" in your list of cemeteries.

As this home is now called Phillarik and owned by the Pedersons, I am wondering if the little graveyard was ever renovated. The last I saw it was in 1983 and I have not been in touch with them since. I have all the research material that came to me from the Blenkhorns in Amherst when I was writing the book. There was a "trunkfull" that was promised by one lady who died before I could meet her. I assume this material is with her family still.

I wanted to go to the Yorkshire reunion last year, but was unable to get an application for some reason and missed it.
I hear it was a wonderful event. Hoping to hear from you soon. Betty Morgan, Halifax.

Newcomb's in Port Greville

arewerelated2007 — 2 Mar 2008 2:21:37 GMT

Looking for information on Frederick NEWCOMB and any of his descendants.

Frederick NEWCOMB was born 11 Feb 1854 in Saint John, Saint John County, NB to Ezekiel and Mary Jane (PURDY) Newcomb. He died 24 Mar 1932 in Port Greville. He married Alice Maud PETTIS 8 Sep 1880 in Port Greville.

Alice Maud PETTIS was born 23 Nov 1850 to John and Susan (SPICIER) PETTIS. She died 23 Oct 1951 in Port Greville.

In the 1901 census there is a Kate NEWCOMB listed in the home with them. Her relationship is listed as domestic. In the 1911 census it is daughter. It appears that Kate was actually the daughter of Alice's sister Annette (PETTIS) MOORE. Have not been able to find any information on the death of Annette or her husband, but Kate is listed as the informant on Alice's death as her daughter. On Fred's death the informant was Kate's husband, Hollis DEWOLF.

Did Fred and Alice adopt Kate? Did Fred and Alice have any children?

Any information on this line would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

John & Catherine Smith Wallace Ridge, Nova Scotia

caerdane — 26 Nov 2007 11:03:39 GMT

John Smith brother of Abner Smith of Malagash, Wallace, Pugwash, resided at Wallace Ridge around 1840-1866 with his wife Catherine, they had at least one off-spring. I'm pretty sure this John Smith died in 1866 as reported by a Catherine Smith his wife, and that his son John Smith was married in 1865 at Amhurst. His wife was I believe Annie Marie Rayworth. Any information regarding this family would be greatly appreciated.

Sarah (Crossman) Kent

JaniceKent56 — 13 Jan 2008 2:38:49 GMT

Does anyone have any information about Sarah Crossman, born about 1855, daughter of James and Jane(Bickerton)Crossman of Dorchester, Westmoreland, N.B. Sarah was married to Stephen Kent May 13, 1873 in Amherst, Nova Scotia, they had two sons George and Stephen. Her husband died in a workplace accident on July 8, 1878.(He was the son of Stutley(or Stukely) and Elizabeth(Worden)Kent. Sarah and Stephen's youngest son (Stephen) was given up for adoption to James and Helen Allen in 1880(renamed Arthur Allen). Sarah and son George were living with her widowed mother-in-law on the 1881 Nova Scotia Census. Only George is still living with Elizabeth Kent on the 1891 NS Census and I have not been able to find if Sarah remarried or if she died. Sarah's husband Stephen is buried with his parents but I have found no record indicating that Sarah is buried there too. (Sarah is the granddaughter of David and Sarah(Wry)Crossman and the great granddaughter of Samuel and Alice(Potter)Crossman). We believe Sarah’s son George moved to the States in adulthood. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FAULD/FAULDS

Hoping someone here can help me out please?

I am trying to track down some type of death information for a Margaret BUTLER that married an Andrew FAULDS. I found their marriage on novascotiagenealogy.com, but unfortunately, the document does not list her parents, and I am trying to determine if she is the daughter of Michael and Sarah BUTLER of Botsford parish, Westmorland County, NB. She appears in the 1881 census with Andrew and their children, and then Andrew remarried in 1891, so she died sometime within this ten year period, but I am unable to get those particular years on that site.

Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I might be able to track down some information on this person? I am not in NS, so am not very knowledgable on what is or isn't available for your province, so would appreciate any advice anyone can offer.

Thanks in advance

German Town Road? Heckbert?

landsendnb — 5 Nov 2007 1:25:51 GMT

Hi,

I believe there is a German Town Road located fairly close to Minudie NS. Does anyone know where the name originated from? Was there a German settlement there?

I am trying to find information on my GGGG grandparents, Edward Heckbert and his wife Dorothea (Klein) Heckbert, both of whom were of German descent. Edward was a foreign recruit in the British Army stationed at Halifax. He married Dorothea Klein in 1816 (her father was a Hessian soldier who settled in Nova Scotia rather than return to Germany). They had two children in Halifax and then Edward deserted from the army in 1818 (rather than return overseas). I have no idea where Edward and his wife and children were for the next twenty years or so, but believe they remained in Nova Scotia. I picked up their trail again when their daughter Mary Ann Heckbert married William Edward Sheffer in 1837 in Halifax. Then their son (my GGG grandfather) John Heckbert, married Nancy Read around 1838-1840. Nancy was from Minudie NS, daughter of John Read and Isabella (Donkin) Read. John and Nancy had a son who I think was born in Amherst NS in 1841 and then they moved to PEI. I have lots of information on John and Nancy Heckbert's descendants, but wonder where Edward and Dorothea Heckbert (their parents) lived when their children were young. I do have a death record for Dorothea Heckbert(called Dorothy) from the Presbyterian Witness. She died in October 1865 and was widowed at that time. No place of death was listed, however.

I suppose I am grasping at straws here but I wonder if Edward and Dorothea and their two young children might have settled in the Cumberland Country area (away from Halifax after Edward deserted) and wonder if they had any connection to the German Town Road.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice or information that might be of help to me?

Looking for any information on the descendants of Sarah E. Fitzpatrick who married John Helm circa 1879. Sarah, daughter of John Fitzpatrick and Mary Ann Butler, was born in New Brunswick circa 1855. John was born in Prince Edward Island circa 1852.

They appeared on the 1881 census in Amherst Shore with their daughters Mabel and Helena, as well as other family members. From 1891 through 1911 they appear in the census records for Tidnish, Cumberland County with their children Mabel, Helena Mary, Sarah, Charles Joseph, James Albert, John Frederick, Harold Agustus, Harriet Beatrice, Myra (possible alternate name Myrtle), William, Pearl, Percy, and Boston(possible alternate name Bordon).

According to novascotiagenealogy.com, Helena Mary Helm married William Henry McLennan in Amherst 12 Dec 1906, Charles Jospeph Helm married Gladys Levona Gowealt 30 Jun 1909 in Tidnish Bridge, and Harriet Beatrice Helm married Harry Frederick William Beckman 6 Dec 1913 in Amherst. Harold Agustus Helm died on 13 Dec 1943 in Pugwash. This is the only information I have been able to come up with with for these descendants of my great-great-great grandparents John and Mary Fitzpatrick.

Joseph Baxter b.1810 m. Charlotte Emily Finley b.1820 Amherst

Hello,
Looking for information about Joseph Baxter from Nova Scotia. He married Charlotte Emily Finley and I believe they had two children, John Trueman Baxter and Willis Baxter. There could be more of course, but those are the two I know about.

Apparently the family was related to or they were great friends of the Trueman family, as Willis was living with the Truemans when he was 18 in 1871. I believe Joseph died prior to 1861.

Any help will be appreciated. Willis Baxter is my great grandfather.

Thany you,

Frank

Does anyone have any information on Gabriel Purdy (1754 - 1841)who was a Loyalist from Westchester County, New York USA, who settled in Westchester, Nova Scotia following the American Revolution? I have tried without success to find a copy of his will from the Archives, but a Mr. Barry Smith has informed me that the records from Cumberland Co. are pretty much in shambles and are totally unorganized. I am not picky on info...I will gladly accept any information on Gabriel, Henry, Adolphus and George, if anyone would be willing to share. E-mail me if you prefer. Thanks so much. I really appreciate anyone's help!

Researching any and all by the name of Mc(Mac)Aloney. The old records contain various spellings of this name and I am interested in hearing from anyone of this ancestry.
