Titus from Digby Neck, in fact I also have a cousin named Timothy Gavel, not the same one who replied to this message though. I had heard the same about these two gavels, however, my grandfather was one of many children, I used to have all the info but somehow lost most of it as I am not an avid genealogist. Let me know any info you would like. Anita

I did call my aunt last evening and she tells me that their John Ross's house is on the borderline between Seabrook and Roxville.... When they lived there (1920's onward?) their nearest neighbours on the left side were the Hendersons and she did mention there was another John Ross nearby.

Hi Gail, I have Weaver in my husband's family. I haven't started researching it at this point. I have a Benjamin Green WEAVER, b. 14 Jan 1854, Wyoming C., New York; Harriet E. WEAVER, b. 17 Dec 1855; Charles WEAVER, b. 14 Jan 1866; Peneldton WEAVER, b. unkown. I have other information on the WEAVER family. I know that my WEAVER's are in the 1800's, but there could be a connection to your WEAVER's. Bye for this time, I hope there is a connection.
