Family stories include a Jacob Troop, of the Valentine Troop family in Annapolis, who became the head of a shipping family in Saint John. Is there anyone detailing the Annapolis Troop or Saint John Troop families who can help me fill in the blanks?

Calnek in his History of Annapolis County, Mentions a Jacob Valentine Troop, born in 1809, who was an M.P.P. in New Brunswick. If he was an M.P.P. in New Brunswick, there may be something at the archives in Fredricton on him. No idea if he was involved in shipbuilding. Calnek says that Valentine Troop married Catherine Church in 1756 in Massachusetts. His saying that Valentine was of German extraction is in error. Savary in his Supplement, says that he was misquoted on this. He supposedly meant that John Troop's wife Hannah Gesner spoke German. Savary says that Valentine Troop was a 'trader' or merchant in Bsoton, and had served with the colonial troops, and was born ca, 1713, per a muster roll. One would suspect that research in New England might be necessary to determine Valentine's origins. My connection to the Troops is through Charlotte Augusta, daughter of of William Henry.

My Spencer Barnes m. Jane Troop. If you would like their family, I have that information. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Noble" <nobler@accesswave.ca> To: <CAN-NS-ANNAPOLIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:50 PM Subject: Re: [NSAnnapolis] Annapolis/Saint John Troop Family ? > Calnek in his History of Annapolis County, Mentions a Jacob Valentine > Troop, > born in 1809, who was an M.P.P. in New Brunswick. > > If he was an M.P.P. in New Brunswick, there may be something at the > archives > in Fredricton on him. > > No idea if he was involved in shipbuilding. > > Calnek says that Valentine Troop married Catherine Church in 1756 in > Massachusetts.
