I also have an article stating that James Wiley was a native of Barton. Is that close? I know that he died at sea in November 1898 during the "Great Gale" off of Cape Ann. During this time, he was possibly Captain of the schooner the Daniel Simmonds. Anything further you can find out would be wonderful.

I am from the Plympton/Gilbert's Cove area, and can get you some information. Several years back I was interested in the Doane/Comeau ancestory and I believe I have notes on whatI found.I believe my father told me that the ship was carrying salt and it was too heavy a load and sank,these are stories that got passed down through the generations. I will ask him more questions, he still has a good memory. I was thinking that Suzanne was my greatgrandmother, but now I believe she is actually my greatgreataunt, sister to my great grandmother. I have the Comeau family tree, I'll have to recheck it. I will try to get back to you with more details... Yvelle

I think this has taken the place of the Courier http://www.novanewsnow.com/index.php Luella

I was on the Digby Courier site several months ago (maybe in August or September) and had sent an email at the time to the letter to the editor section--- I never heard anything back from them, and there was no indication that my letter was printed.... I certainly didn't receive any replies from the area to my request.... so I know that there was one, but maybe not anymore... gail metcalfe > Anyone have the new link to the Digby Courier website ...if they have one anymore? > > Thanks > CathyLee > mytree@eastlink.ca > http://www.rootsweb.com/~nsdigby/ > Digby County Message board & mailing list Admin > > Digby Genweb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nsdigby/ > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CAN-NS-DIGBY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message I can complain because rosebushes have thorns........ or rejoice because the thornbush has a rose.

Just called the Courier (902-245-4715) and found out they launched their new website a couple of months ago. http://www.novanewsnow.com/ Apparently, it's a consolidated site, but that's where any Digby Courier online information will be found.
