Charles Reid, born 26 Dec., 1837 in Stevenston, Ayr. Scotland and died Jan. e, 1921 married in Sept. 8, 1865 Mary Cartwright who was born 1832 and died 1892. Mary was previously married to William Burrows who was born in and died in . They had: 1. Phebe Burrows (1862-1929) and she married John James MacDonald. He was from Londonderry. His parents were Donald and Mary. They lived in Inverness. They had: 1. Edward Burrows MacDonald (1881-May 2, 1965) and 2. William 2. Edward Burrows (Jan. 6. 1858 and died Aug. 2, 1942) married to Margaret Jane Henderson. She died in 1949. Married in New Glasgow. They had 1. William Henderson Burrows who married Annie Gerrior of Guysboro (RC). They were married in 1914. Her parents were Abraham and Ellen. 3. Mary (Moll) Burrows ( 1862-1948) married Aug. 31, 1889 to John D. Cameron (lived East River St. Mary's). Parents were John and Christie. Lived on College St. and then Carmel St. They had 1. John A. Cameron and 2. Mary (May) Agnes Cameron (06/02/1859-1976) and she married Sam. K. Russell ( They lived in Stellarton. Had no children Edward Burrows MacDonald is married to me a second way as he married Euphemia Hayman and they had Phoebe Ethel, and infant who died, John James, Alexander Hayman and David Wilton and Edith. If you are interested in any of these dates, let me know. Janice Burrows told me that her father had told her that when her great grandmother, Mary, was widowed with three young children, she ran a boarding house to support her family. My great grandfather came to board at her home and they married. She said that her father told her that my great grand father was kind and gentle with his three step-children. Her grandfather, Edward called his youngest son, Charles Reid Burrows(Janice's father) and then her second brother was called Edward Reid. I have a photograph album that my mother gave to Janice and she gave back to me. It has pictures of Mary Cartwright and William Burrows in it and I have no idea who the rest of the people are but Janice says they are from the second marriage of Mary to Charles. I thought I had a lot more info. About dates, etc. and I am sure I do if I could just find them. I never really got into researching the Burrows side and my records are in a mess. If anyone can add dates, etc. please do. I grew up knowing Sam Russell and Aunt May (Mary Agnes Cameron) as well as John Cameron. I know I have the Russell info. Somewhere. I also grew up near Charlie Burrows and knew Janice and had met her brothers. Two of them died in Dartmouth recently-one a year ago. Charlotte

There are several links between the Grant families from Caribou and Scotch Hill. If you use your web brower and look for NS Electorial Districts. Look for Pictou West,District 42. This gives probably the best depiction of the area. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hi Paula, Sorry for the delay. Here are a few things that will get you off to a good start. I live about 1,600 km away from Pictou County so I can't be of much help. From the 1881 census for Pictou Town, family 30: Henry Kirkwood, 45, married, physician Margaret, 41 Edward, 17, clerk Daniel, 14 Elizabeth, 12 Archibald, 10, Alfred, 2 There don't appear to be any other Kirkwoods in the 1881 Pictou county census from the look through I just did of the census transcriptions. The book "Pictonians at Home and Abroad by Rev. J.P. MacPhie, MA, states on pg. 111: "KIRKWOOD, HENRY, M.D., Pictou; Jefferson Medical Col. Died in 1859, son of the late Dr. Kirkwood, Pictou. At his father's death took his practice." From the Chronicle Herald Index to Vital Statistics 1961-1992 Kirkwood: James, 08-26-63, California, USA Mrs. Walter 12-09-74, Thorburn, Pictou County, NS Donald J., 07-01-76, Dartmouth, NS Robert, 07-19-77, MacPherson Mills, Pictou County, NS Mrs. John, 05-20-81, Stellarton, Pictou County, NS John B., 10-19-88, Stellarton, Pictou County, NS Basil A., 01-08-90, Halifax, NS I know the Chronicle Herald is on microfilm. I may be able to do some of these lookups for you, if you are looking to piece the family descendants together into a tree. I see from the Directory of Pictou County Towns, 1951: Pictou, New Glasgow, Stellarton, Westville, and Trenton, that there is but one Kirkwood listed: New Glasgow: Kirkwood, Walter Mrs., widow, Foord St., pg. 263 You might want to try www.automatedgenealogy.com to search for census data. The Presbyterian Witness transcriptions may yield some vital statistics from I believe 1848 throughout to about 1910 or so..... It's been a while since I looked at those, but I can take a look at it in the library here in Toronto. The Richie Records in the New Glasgow library might show where all the Kirkwoods are buried (provided they had monuments in place when the transcriptions were taken in the 1950s). The on-line searchable databases at Nova Scotia Archives and Record Management (NSARM) can also help you add some information. http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/ The Deeds Office at the Pictou Town Justice Building should give you lots of information but you will have to hire a researcher. The only one I know in the area is Marlene Chisholm who I believe still belongs to this list. You may want to contact her. Good luck! Send me an email if you have questions...
