George Dawkins LANE

nzkiwigirl — 3 Dec 2007 5:40:16 GMT

Hi there,

My third Great Grandfather was born in Charleston, Queens Co., Nova Scotia in 14 July 1794.

His parents were Thomas Lane & Sybilla Sabyna Houseal. They were married in 24 November 1789 in Nova Scotia.

His Grandfather was Rev. Bernard Michael Hausihl who is associated with the the old "Dutch Chicken-Cock Church" in Halifax. Rev. Hausihl was a Lutheran Minister who converted to Church of England. He was a loyalist who fled New York and arrived in Nova Scotia in 1783

I'm after a copy any birth records that may exist for George.

Any help would be most gratefully received.

Chester, Nova Scotia, Embrees

teresamallett — 16 Jun 2007 2:06:38 GMT

Thank you. I have worked alot this week to find more about Deborah. I think your are right, there are two THomas Embrees in that time frame, but I think the children you list all belong to the Thomas Embree of Chester, NS.

I think Deborah Hale and Deborah Bangs are one and the same as I have found 1786 marriage of Thomas Embree to Deborah Bangs (wid. Hale) in vital records in Chester. Since Bangs is a CC name, as is "Jane Chipman", (the name of one of the daughters), I thought Deborah Bangs Hale Embree might be from Harwich, MA. I found marriage of Deborah Bangs to John Hale in 1779 Harwich vital records, which supports my theory. Still I am trying to confirm this is the Deborah Bangs Hale in Nova Scotia, and also trying to find parentage of this Deborah (who married Hale) as there are several Deborah Bangs in Harwich and others are all accounted for.

Re-print of Planters and Pioneers has just arrived

justinwentzel — 10 Aug 2007 11:52:27 GMT

Posted by permission of the message board administrator

I am pleased to announce that a limited edition reprint of Planters & Pioneers, Nova Scotia 1749-1775 (1982 Revised) by Dr. Esther Clark Wright has just become available. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, Planters & Pioneers contains years of research by Dr. Wright to determine pre-American Revolution settlers to Nova Scotia & New Brunswick from New England and many parts of Europe. The book is approximately 309 pages and includes information for more than 4,000 family leaders (25,000 names in total including family members) gathered meticulously from township records, registry of deeds, probate records, county and local histories, census records, family histories, genealogies, and so forth. Dr. Wright had hoped to publish future editions but the work ended with her passing in 1990. Planters & Pioneers is very rare because only a few thousand copies were printed nearly 25 years ago. Now it is available again for a limited time.

If anyone is interested in ordered a copy, or to get more information about the book, please feel free to contact me off the message board through visiting www.plantersandpioneers.com .

Kind regards,

Justin Wentzell,

The four key questions I hope to answer: (1) Who are the four females living in the RINGER family in 1827. Eunice + who? (2) When and where did Eunice die? (3) Where is George buried? (4) When did George and Eunice leave Pleasant River? Casting a wide net ... All information appreciated. Thanks!

Minard Levi Dr. Died 1884

Sheila Mac Callum - Anderson — 28 Oct 2006 11:50:42 GMT

At Brooklyn, Newport, June 7th, Dr. Levi Minard, in the ( I can't make this out but appears to be ---- 68th) year of his age. Dr. Minard was born at Milton, Queens County, where he spent the early part of his life. He has been for years a resident of Hants County. He has been known as a practicing physician and manufacter of of medicine. Minard's Liniment has rendered his name a household word throughout the land. He has in this way been the means of good to many. He was a good man, as very many do testify; not only to do good, but to be good was the aim of his life. He has been for many years a faithful member of the Church of the Disciples, and will be greatly missed by that communion. His long sickness though very trying at times, was borne with a meek and quiet spirit. He leaves an aged widow at Brooklyn and a daughter and family at Milton, and many friends to mourn their loss. The writer was by his special request called upon to attend the funeral at the house, a short sermon was preached from Phil. 1. 21. "To die is gain." May the Lord sustain the afflicted. ---- Com. by Rev. A. Freeman.

Empire Sun sinking by U-boat 7 Feb 1942

markwpeters — 15 Nov 2006 12:25:37 GMT

The Empire Sun was torpedoed at 45 55 N 64 22 W, off the coast of Nova Scotia on 7 Feb 1942, having just crossed the Bay of Fundy, after leaving the USA earlier in the day. Many of the crew and others aboard managed to row to shore and were collected at Liverpool, Nova Scotia. My father was one of the survivors. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has information about this.

Incidentally, I have Thomas Head Raddall's book 'In my time: a memoir' which devotes a couple of pages to the story of the sinking and what followed.

I have lost touch with relatives in Milton area, and am hoping that someone who sees this will be able to provide me with contacts or information. Thanks. Carolyn Yorke nee White, nee Bereck

Robert and Barbery were twins. John was born January 12, 1794. John left Scotland in the spring of 1815 to come to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. John came to Liverpool, Queens County, Nova Scotia.
