McMinn of Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick (Canada)

WorrypasCanada — 2009-08-01 18:42:56Z

Hello,

I am researching 13 historical places, with a colleague, within the Town of Richibucto, Kent County, New Brunswick (Canada). From others, I did find in the land deeds and Canada Census the following McMinn's:

Land Deed (1923-1934): John D. McMinn and his wife Zeramiah (house still stands today)
1880's Business Directories: David McMinn (tanner with William Brown)

1901 Census of Canada
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/DisplayPagePanb.jsp?id=...

1911 Census of Canada
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/View.jsp?id=1296&...

I've been unable to find detail genealogical information on the above McMinn of Richibucto. Do you have any genealogical facts or references for the above?

Thanks for your support.

Stevens Funeral Home

Barbara Wanda (Bobbie) Horne McMinn
Coleman, Texas

Barbara Wanda (Bobbie) Horne McMinn, 86, of Coleman died Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at Coleman County Medical Center. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 29, 2009 at First Baptist Church in Coleman with Rev. John Stanislaw officiating. Burial will be in the Coleman City Cemetery, under the direction of Stevens Funeral Home. Family visitation will be from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.

On November 28, 1922, Barbara Wanda (Bobbie) Horne McMinn was born to Simon P. and Lucille Pauley Horne, natives of Coleman County. At age five, Bobbie moved with the family to Coleman.

Bobbie graduated from Coleman High School, earned a Bachelor's Degree from North Texas State and Master's Degree in Library Science from Peabody Institute in Nashville, Tennessee. She returned to North Texas State University to work in the library. Here, she met and married Phil McMinn. While Phil was working on a Doctorate Degree at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, she began the most important part of her life, motherhood.

Bobbie and Phil returned to Texas two weeks after the birth of their only son. Bobbie taught school in Mertzon and Mozelle before starting her career at Coleman I.S.D. She retired after 44 years with the Coleman Independent School District.

Bobbie was never idle. She was past-president of Delta KAPPA GAMMA, a member of the Retired Teachers Association, Master Gardener, an election judge and long-time member of First Baptist Church in Coleman where she served as Sunday School Teacher. All these things she loved, but her passion was her family.

She is survived by her son, John Petty and wife Diann McMinn of Winters; three grandchildren, Casey McMinn of Abilene, Stacy McMinn of Lubbock; Scarlet Van Zandt of San Angelo; five great grandchildren, Jacob McMinn on Winters, Lexis and Lilly McMinn of Lubbock and Chloe and Hunter Van Zandt of San Angelo. She is also survived by her beloved brother, Max Horne and his wife Billie, of Coleman. Her love was extended to her nieces, nephews and cousins.

Bobbie was frugal with herself but generous with family and friends. She never put on "airs," but she was always a Lady with Class.

Sunday at the funeral home

Do you know anything about Jesse's wife/wives?? I have seen quite a few variations.

I did find in Ancestry two records:

Jesse Mcminn b abt 1795 married Affa Kuykendall b abt 1796 married 1812 in Rutheford County, NC

Jesse Mcminn married Sylvia Boling 7 Nov 1861 in Fannin County, Georgia

discrepancies I have seen:

Jessie died in 1862 - I found an 1870 census record with Jesse and Sophia in Fannin, Georgia

Jesse married to Affa Boling
Jessie married to Sophia Boling 1821
Jessie married to Affa Kuykendall 1819

it's getting very confusing!

were there two Jesse's born abt 1795 living in Fannin Georgia or do some people have his death date wrong?

if he married Sylvia in 1861, then Affa must have been his first wife. Does anyone know FOR SURE what her maiden name was?

Yes, my grandfather was Archibald Campbell McMinn (of that ilk) and, I am told, had ancestors at Menzies Castle in Weem. I have visited the castle - a beautiful, solid and very atmospheric place - and hope to do so again soon.

Do you have any info on ancestors of Robert McMinn, who came to US, South Carolina, in 1767 and married Jane Kuykendall? I have his descendants, but can't find when he immigrated or from where. I hear Scotland or Northern Ireland, and some say Pennsylvania. You in central time zone? I'll try to call tonight or tomorrow evening. Thanks!

Last Hope, Alexander McMinn

I am looking for any information on an Alexander McMinn, b. 1835 Scotland, died 1886, Woolwich, Kent. Was in the RA, and married an Alice O'Hara.

Am desperate, as I have hit too many brickwalls!

Robert is also my 8th ggrandfather. I didn't know that we came from NS until I read your post. My aunt had done a book on The McMinn's and had traced the family back to Scotland. At that time she didn't know the names of his parents either. We may never know but it is a challenge or us to try to find. When you get the book printed, let me know the price.

If you ever want to talk, my number is 231-878-4933. The best time to catch me would be before noon or anytime after 4 to 11 pm. If I don't answer, leave me a message and I'll return your call.

Hi

Your message is not very clear about what it is exactly that is creating a brick wall. Are you looking for Alexander in England or his parents etc.

Anyway this is what I found:

There's a number of us in the Glasgow area that originated from Airdrie in Lanarkshire. My father was Alexander and I have three brothers - Richard, Stephen and Colin.

My ancester is Andrew McMinn. He came to Nova Scotia and his descendant John Andrew settled in Dartmouth, Halifax, NS. I found John Andrew McMinn in Dartmouth, Halifax, NS.
They owned a brick kiln and also a farm, which was sold and they moved west. He is my great grandmother's father. Andrew was married three times while in Dartmouth area. I have copies of Wills and story. His half sister's family still lives in NS area.
Any help would be appreciated. I am also willing to exchange information I have on the NS McMinn's.
Thank you
Janet
