As can be seen I have information that is very interesting but can not be conclusive in most parts. Any help would be appreciated. I have found a great deal of help from the Annapolis Valley Newspaper Extract Project but not any conclusive evidence. Have emailed the Kings County Historical Society but nothing has been heard.
