GGGGG Father: John Troop b. 1752 b. d. ? m. Eunice Fellows, (Granville,NS)
GGGGGG Father: Valentine Troop b. d. 1776 m. Catherine Church, (Mass to NS)



My sources have been:

1881 census, Belisle
Post cards to family members in Nova Scotia and New York from Captain John Rawlins
Grave records form Annapolis County

Family Members
I also visited Nova Scotia back in 1969 when I was 11 (wish I could remember more of my visit)
