| 115 | William Alexander, son of Sir William Alexander, brought out settlers to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, in the late 1620s and established Charles Fort there. When the colony again went back to the French, about three years after their arrival, these Scottish emigrants were required to return to Scotland. More than a century later, when the French and the English had finished their "tug of war" in claiming Nova Scotia from each other, and the English finally kept it, Scottish emigrants again began to come here. They settled in all parts of Nova Scotia. When the 1871 census was taken, the Scots made up the greater percentage of the population in Colchester, Inverness, Pictou and Victoria Counties. They also settled in large numbers in each of the other counties and became one of the leading groups in developing New Scotland (Nova Scotia). These Scots came from all regions of Scotland, and for many reasons. Those emigrating from the Lowlands of Scotland, such as Dumfries and the border areas, were seeking adventure and a better opportunities in the new colony. They settled in many areas of mainland Nova Scotia. In the mid 1700s, Governor Lawrence invited people in New England to come to Nova Scotia and settle the lands vacated after the expulsion of the Acadiens. Those who came, and now known as the Planters. They had been settled in New England for about a century. Among them were many Scottish people who had fled from Scotland to Ireland to gain freedom to pursue their religious persuasions. They settled mainly in the Truro and Londonderry areas, and are known in New Scotland (Nova Scotia) as the Ulster Scots. | Fisher, William (I1574)

| 116 | Biography of Samuel Fisher Transcription from the book, pp. 218-220 Dea. Samuel Fisher was born in the north of Ireland, in the year 1722, and was of Scottish descent. His father was a weaver. Dea. Fisher came to America in 1740, in the nineteenth year of his age. The ship in which he came was usually spoken of as "The starved ship." The vessel was so scantily supplied with provisions, that long before the voyage was completed, one pint of oat-meal for each individual on board, and a proportionate allowance of water, was all that remained. Mr. Fisher once went to the mate with a tablespoon to obtain some water, which was refused him, there being but two-thirds of a chunk-bottle full on board. Mr. Fisher's custom was, to take a tablespoonful of meal daily, and having moistened it with salt water, to eat it raw. The passengers and crew, having subsisted in this manner for fourteen days, were at length reduced to the necessity of eating the bodies of those who died. Even this resource failed them, and at length Mr. Fisher was selected to give up his life to preserve the lives of the rest. Providentially, however, a vessel hove in sight, and their signals of distress being observed they obtained relief and were saved. So deep an impression did the horrors of that passage make upon the mind of Mr. Fisher, that, in after life, he could never see, without pain, the least morsel of food wasted, or a pail of water thrown carelessly upon the ground. On his arrival in this country, he was bound by the captain to a man in Roxbury, for the payment of his passage. He came to Londonderry, probably about one or two years after, and became a member of the family of Mr. Matthew Taylor, whose daughter he married, when he was twenty-five years of age. He was made a ruling elder of the church in the West Parish, during the ministry of Rev. David MacGregor, and remained in this office until he was no longer able to perform its duties on account of his age. He seemed to be well instructed in the great principles of the gospel, as set forth in the Westminster Catechism, and in the Confession of Faith of the Church of Scotland. These Principles he taught diligently to his children, for whose spiritual welfare he felt a deep solicitude. One of his grandchildren (Mrs. Dickey), writes thus of him: "I can only speak of the impression he made on my mind when visiting in his family when quite young. His family worship was strikingly impressive. When he read a portion of Scripture, he became remarkably interesting. I shall never forget his manner, in reading the chapter in which Isaac blesses his son Jacob. It seemed as thought he was the very patriarch himself. When he knelt in prayer, how deeply impressive were his devotions; how ardently would he plead the promise, 'I will be a God to thee, and thy seed.' He had a most happy faculty of improving the occurrences which took place about him for the religious instruction of his family. He was a great lover of Watts and Doddridge; would frequently address me on the subject of religion, and give me some of his books." Deacon Fisher was married three times, and had twelve children; eleven of whom arrived at adult age, and ten of whom survived him. Ten of his children were married, and most of them lived to advanced age. The average age of four of them was ninety-one years. His descendants now (1850) number nine hundred and fifteen, and are scattered through nearly all the States of the Union, through Nova Scotia, and the Canadas. Some of them are ministers, and some elders in the church. It is estimated, that three-fourths of those over twenty years of age are professors of religion. Deacon Fisher was, in his personal appearance, tall and commanding, and his countenance was grave and solemn, so that few would willingly be guilty of levity in his presence. He died at Londonderry, April 10, 1806, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. | Source (S16)

| 117 | Claim for Bounty Land veterans were to be awarded 160 acres of land per an act of 3 Mar 1855. Harrison Legge's claim 45034 was received 6 Apr 1855. 6 Oct 1855: application for bounty Land #218.115 referred to the 3rd auditor. Next page in this document indicates the 3rd auditor found on rolls of Captain Beazer's Company. Other documents indicate that Harrison did not keep his discharge paper, and it seems he got the Captain's name wrong. p 39 of attached PDF: 18 July 1872: Third auditors office shows Capt Abram Skillman's company of Virginia Militia shows Harrison Legg serving from 23 Aug 1814 to 16 Sep 1814 The short period of service apparently rendered the claim for Bounty Land insufficient. | Source (S1305)

| 120 | Emigration to Nova Scotia Transcription from the book, pp. 200-201 About the year 1760, a number of families emigrated from Londonderry to Nova Scotia, and settled in Truro, soon after its evacuation by the French. Among these first settlers, were James, Thomas, Samuel, and David Archibald (brothers), Matthew Taylor, who married a sister of the Archibalds, and William Fisher; Samuel Fisher, a nephew of William, joined the company a few years afterwards. Other emigrants followed from time to time. Their descendants became numerous and respectable, and settled in the surrounding towns; as Pictou, Stewiacke, Musquodobit, and St. Mary's. We have been able to obtain no particular information respecting this colony, except it be in reference to the Archibald and Fisher families. William Fisher, senior, was a highly respectable and useful man. He represented the township of Truro in the General Assembly held in the province. Several of the Archibalds are somewhat distinguished as having held important public offices. David Archibald, 1st, was magistrate and major in the militia; while his sons Robert and Samuel surveyed the township, and were the principal managers in its settlement; one of whom was not only a magistrate, but a judge of the court. No less than eighteen of this name, descendants of the first settlers who went from this town, have held high and responsible situations in the several departments of government; as magistrates, representatives, judges, and military officers. Samuel G. W. Archibald, LL.D., son of Samuel, and grandson of David, the first settler, was first Judge of Probate, then member and speaker of the General Assembly, then attorney-general, and governor of King's College, and the Judge of the Court of Admiralty, and Master of the Rolls. He was, without dispute, considered the greatest politician and the most talented public speaker which the province ever produced. He has three sons, who are barristers; one a director of the Commercial Bank, London; another, attorney-general of Newfoundland. The Archibalds of Nova Scotia are generally not only people of respectable standing in society, but a very large proportion of the adults are consistent and zealous professors and supporters of religion. The same may be said of most of the emigrants from this town to that place, and of their descendants. More uniformly than almost any other of the colonies from Londonderry, have they adhered, not only to the principles, but to the religious order of their ancestors. They are, almost without an exception, Presbyterian, and maintain in their public worship many of the forms practised in Scotland and Ireland by their fathers. They have never admitted any change in their sacred psalmody. The psalms of David, in their most literal translation, are used in their worship; in the singing of which the congregation unite. Such has been the influence of this first colony in that province, that a greater portion of the churches in the several townships are Presbyterian. | Source (S16)

| 124 | Provenance note : This newspaper clipping was in the collection of Barbara Chamberlain. Had no identifying markings at all - not the name of the paper or the date. The marriage happened 16 Jun 1910, so the announcement was clearly prior to that, unknown if it was in 1910 or perhaps earlier in 1909. Since the copy mentions Newark as an "other" location, while Woodland Avenue is referred to as local, this would seem to have been published in a Columbus paper rather than a Newark one. | Source (S749)

| 126 | The Brenholts-Chamberlain Year in Europe 1927-1928 Gladys and Peggy were both getting divorced. They took their children to Europe for a year. The kids were enrolled in boarding schools. The European stay covered much of Virginia's 11th grade year, when she returned to Ohio is was hard for her to get credit for an academic year. From Joan Campbell: Whether there were technicalities of the brewing divorce that required Peggy to be away, I don’t know, but my mother’s take on the thing was that it was just too unpleasant in Columbus for her mother to stay there. Remember that in 1929 divorce was truly scandalous, all the more so in this case since Roy was having a blatant affair with his secretary, Sara (a “devout Catholic” whose own brother was a priest). As was so often the case in such a situation, shame accrued to the wife, as well, or perhaps even to a greater degree. Whether it was a case of “I have to go away because the lawyers say so,” or “I’ve gotta get out of here — NOW!”, I don’t really know. The three kids went to school in France that year, although I know that at some point before or after that the family spent some leisure time in Oostende, Belgium. | Matticks, Jessie Marguerite "Peggy" (I757)

| 145 | About Arkansas Death Index, 1914-1950 This database is an index to approximately 594,000 deaths that occurred in Arkansas between 1914 and 1950. In addition to providing the name of the deceased, the index provides the date of death, county of death, gender, race, age at time of death, volume number, and certificate number. Note that some entries may not contain all of this information. With the information provided in this index you may be able to obtain a copy of a death certificate. The volume and certificate numbers are especially important for doing this. Death certificates can be very valuable because of the amount of information they provide (see extended description). Death certificates may be obtained from the Arkansas Department of Health. Please visit their website for more information on how to order a death certificate. Statewide registration of births and deaths in Arkansas did not begin until February 1914. Compliance was not complete for approximately three decades. The Division of Vital Records, Arkansas Department of Health, 4815 West Markham Street, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201, has records from that date. Some local vital records for Little Rock and Fort Smith and maintained by the Arkansas History Commission. When requesting copies, include a statement of purpose and relationship. Taken from Wendy Bebout Elloitt, "Arkansas," Red Book ed. Alice Eichholz. (Provo, Utah: Ancestry, 2004). Modern (post-1910) death records, though comparatively recent, are steadily increasing in value. People are living longer, and death records often provide information about birth as well as death. Modern death certificates have not been standardized throughout the United States; but, like birth certificates, most of them contain the same types of information. Most contemporary death certificates include the deceased's name, sex, race, date of death, age at the time of death, place of death, date of birth, place of birth, marital status, name of spouse, Social Security number, occupation, residence, father's name, mother's name, cause of death, and place of burial. Records from some states provide the birthplace of the deceased's parents. The Social Security number is not always included, but, when it is, it can be invaluable because other records (subject to right-of-privacy laws) may be accessible if you have the Social Security number. As any experienced researcher knows, death records are only as accurate as the knowledge of the person who provided the information. Many informants are unaware of the name of parents or are unsure about dates and places of birth. Always try to find additional information about parents and dates and places of birth whenever possible.

| 146 | About New Hampshire, Births and Christenings Index, 1714-1904 This database contains an index of details extracted from New Hampshire birth, baptism, and christening records. What’s in the Index While the earliest vital records for New Hampshire were recorded by town clerks in the mid-1600s, legislation requiring the secretary of state to compile a statewide record of vitals was not passed until 1866. Compliance improved in the 1880s and was firmly established in 1905 with the creation of the Bureau of Vital records. At this time, the Bureau dispensed cards to town and city clerks and requested transcriptions of earlier vital records. Not every town complied with all pre-1905 records, so the Bureau’s statewide collection is not considered completely comprehensive. Sources for this index include microfilmed copies of records from the Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics as well as town and county clerks, church records, and family records. Details in the entries will vary depending on the original record, but they may include name gender race birthplace birth date christening place christening date death date age at death father’s name, age, birthplace mother’s name, age, birthplace paternal grandparents maternal grandparents FHL film number The FHL film number refers to a microfilm copy of the source held by the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. Because this database includes details extracted from family records, researchers will want to confirm facts with original and primary sources. | Source (S353)
