Looking for cemetery. My ancestors were McDonalds who came from Scotland about 1830 and settled in Black Brook, at the end of Eden Lake. Was there a cemetery in this now largely abandoned area? Alex McDonald and later generations are buried in the Moose River Cemetery.

Would appreciate any leads, as on a trip last year, we could not find any trace of Alex's parents in cemeteries along the paved road by Eden Lake.

Guess I will have to put up some of the information my father has from his cousins. It might help with others whose families arrived from Dumfries in the late 1700's on the Hector. There was a William Clark who came from around Galloway and there is still an couple of old family farmhouses near Durham, N.S where my grandfather grew up. I'll try to post a copy of a letter my father has from a cousin who had asked about the family in 1936 and it has all the children from the family 'til that time.

Glad to see that the County is still home to others too.

McDonald/MacDonald (Upper Settlement-East River/Sunny Brae/Bridgeville) If the following has any pertinence to your family line, I would be interested in hearing from you.

In 1784, a settlement of disbanded soldiers was made further up the river at Upper Settlement-East River. They came to Pictou at the close of the American War and were originally, from the Highlands of Scotland.

The names of these first settlers included John Og McDonald and his family which included sons Duncan, James and Ewen.

"John Og McDonald was born at Glen Urquhart, Scotland By his first wife, Jannet (??) he had Duncan, Alexander, Mary and Christy. By his second wife, Margaret Grant, he had James, Ewen, Ann and Ellen.

Ewen Mor McDonald was John Og's youngest son. He settled Mount Maple Farm in Pictou County and had 8 children; John Mor, Duncan, Elizabeth, Nancy, Margaret, Alexander, Ann, and Ellen"

"Big" John Mor Macdonald was the son of Ewen Mor (Hugh) Macdonald. He married Annie McIntosh, daughter of David McIntosh of Sunny Brae, with whom he had Duncan, Donald, Alexander, Ranald, Ellen, Jane, Mary, Charlie, Hugh, and Samuel. Of those children, 4 boys went west in the gold rush.

Alexander G. Macdonald was the son of John Mor and Aniie McIntosh. Alexander had 8 children. 5 (John Chalmers, Charles Harris, William Sommerville, Octavia [Annie] Sarah, & Jerusha) to Lavinia Harris of Cornwallis, Kings County NS, and 3 (Lavina, Hughena & Benjamin) to Eunice Steadman of Cornwallis, Kings County NS. Lavinia Harris was the daughter of Elijah and Sarah Harris, farmers in Welsford, Kings County Nova Scotia. Eunice Steadman was the daughter of Benjamin Steadman and Eliza Harris of Cornwallis, Kings County Nova Scotia

I am a descendant of the Beaton"s who sailed on the Sybil in 1852 from St John's, NewFoundland to the colony of Port Phillip (Victoria, Aus). I have been trying to trace James Beaton's parentage in Pictou and feel there is a good chance that John Beaton, mentioned in the census of 1817 and 1832 may be a candidate.
I have written two stories recently about the Beaton family which appear on my website:
http://www.yarranet.net.au/aceweb/eliteracies/dalegenealogy/beaton.htm
and
http://www.yarranet.net.au/aceweb/eliteracies/dalegenealogy/beaton2.htm
I have tried unsuccessfully in the past to contact various local historians and Beaton researchers in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. My fingers crossed that you may be able to help piecing together the puzzle.
I wonder if there is a way of accessing James Beaton's birth certificate in Nova Scotia?
I wonder if John Beaton is his father and whether that same John Beaton is the little 12 year old boy who sails to Pictou from Kilmorach, Scotland on the Dove of 1801?

My wife's cousin's wife was given up for adoption when she was about 1-2 years old in Boston, MA. She just learned that the names of her birth parents were John and Mary (Knockwood) Sapier.
According to adoption papers, they were married in Pictou about 1943, they had 3 other children before her, they travelled frequently between Nova Scotia and Boston and they were Roman Catholics.
On her behalf, I would be interested in any information you can send me on these individuals and their families.

Margaret Sinnis 1900-1990 her maiden name was Cunningham not Sutherland. 3. Elsie M Sinnis 1893-1992 is the correct one. the Elsie M. Sinnis 1882 - 1991 never existed. If she did she would have been 109 years old.

4. James W. Sinnis 1930-1980

All the above people are buried in the MacLeod Cemetery, Foxbrook.

I am a member of the Pictou County Roots Society since July 2002.

I have found my GGrandfather, Donald MCDONALD and his, wife Jessie MCKINNON MCDONALD, in both the 1871 and 1881 census of Canada. It shows Donald b in Nova Scotia abt 1838 and Jessie b in PEI abt 1839. They were married 25 May 1857 in Albion Mines. In 1871 they lived in Middle River Div 2; in 1881 they lived in Westville. Donald was a Miner. They had following children: Laughlin b 1856 Mary Jane b 1860 Catherine b 1862 Jessie A. b 1864 d 1947 James D b 1868 Abigail b 1871 Maude b ? Arlline b ? John (Jack) b 1974 William Daniel b 1876 (My Grandfather) They were Scot Presbyterians Jessie MCDONALD remarried in 1902 after the death of Donald, to James ROY, also a miner, from Westville. Jessie died 16th June 1915 and is buried in St Phillips Cemetery in Westville,[had been Mt Carmel Presbyterian] The family lived in Westville, Sydney CB, and Middle River areas. I would like to know when Donald McDonald died and where he is buried; also where he was born in Nova Scotia. I know there are a gazillion McDonalds but hope there might be some info for me in the Ritchie or the P. Witness docs.
Jessie ROY died 16 June 1915 in Boston, was buried in Westville, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. The cemetery is named St. Phillips, but had been Mt. Carmel Presbyterian. She was 75 years old at death. The family lived in Middle River, and in the Westville, Nova Scotia areas. Donald was a miner. In the 1901 Pictou County Census there is only one listing: Westville #3, Home #65, Jessie McDonald listed as "Housekeeper". Believe that Donald died between 1881 and 1901, but have no other information. Thanks in advance for your help. Warren MacDonald in Jupiter, Florida

Also, is there a connection between John G. English and (1) Patrick English in the Egerton area of Pictou County who had a son Michael born in New Glasgow in 1831 and/or (2) William English, born around 1830 in the Thorburn area?

I'm pretty sure my ggg-grandfather Kenneth McKenzie was on the Hector in 1773 (a boy at that time). While some of his family probably stayed in Nova Scotia, he migrated to the US between 1780 and 1790. I know so little about him and the family who stayed behind. Are there any records available that might help in my search? (His childrens' names were: John, Mary, William, Colin, Sarah, and Jane; I'm guessing that this fits with the naming tradition.) I welcome contact with any McKenzie's who might share this common ancestry!
