Hello Carl, When you are able, would you have any information at all regarding Henry's son Samuel? I am looking for a Samuel Aikins who owned land in New York City in 1779 and later refugeed to Nova Scotia as a Loyalist. It is a process of elimination so far, as we know a fair bit about the family but have not been able to find where they came from originally. (New York was a reugee city at the time, and they could have come from anywhere, as well as from NY!)
