Nova Scotia Trying to trace ancestors of Timothy Brooks born ca 1765 Digby Joggins, Digby Township Nova Scotia, died Jun 1823. Parents unknown. Married Joanna Chute also born at Digby Joggins. Children: Mary 2 May 1801/Timothy 2 Dec 1802/ John 11 Jan 1805-1808?/John 4 nov 1808/ Thomas 9 Jan 1812. Timothy is an ordinary name but you don't come across it that often in early New England. However it does seem to be very predominant in some of the Brooks Mass. families. I am not sure if there could be a New Hampshire connection ....Chute is Essex County Mass. to Nova Scotia via New Hampshire. The time period appears to be during the 1760 to 1770 land offerings in Nova Scotia. Thanks for any help or ideas. Susan
