A Reminder; Redmond / Redman Family Reunion -- 16th and 17th/August/2002 -- Truro / Bible Hill, Nova Scotia, Canada It was August 13, 1818, when Captain James Hardy, in his 350 tons burthen, Brigantine Fame, set sail from the Port of Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland carrying passengers bound for the Americas. Among the passengers were two Redmond families from Ballymena, whom had just sold their flax farms and mill so they could make the voyage to fresh beginnings and the promise offered by the New World. These were the Redmond Cousins - John and Moses, with their wives and children. The Brigantine Fame did not reach its intended destination. On October 2nd, 1818, the sailing ship had run into trouble off the coast of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, with the families having to be helped ashore by local residents. The two Redmond families spent that winter in Halifax and eventually made their way to more permanent residences in the Musquodoboit Valley and in the River John area of Pictou County, Nova Scotia. It was from those two main locations, that John's and Moses' families fanned out to new beginnings in many other parts of Canada and the United States. Descendants of Moses Redmond & Rebecca Dunn (name, approx, year of birth and birthplace) Samuel Redmond, abt. 1808, Carrickfergus Francis Redman, 1810 - 1811, Carrickfergus John Alexander Redman, 1799, Carrickfergus Andrew Readmon/Redmond/Redman, 1800, Carrickfergus James Redmond, 1809 - 1811, Carrickfergus Robert Redman, 1813, Carrickfergus William Redmond 1817, Carrickfergus Jean Redmond, 1814, Carrickfergus Mary Margaret Redman, 1796, Carrickfergus Roseanna Redman, 1810 - 1815, Carrickfergus Moses Redmond, 1810 - 1811, Carrickfergus?

Janet Redmond, 1811-1906, Carrickfergus Our Redmond/Redman Family Re-Unites It is with this history in mind, that we wish to commemorate and celebrate John and Moses' departure from the Old World by having a Redmond Family Reunion on 16th and 17th/August/2002 . On those dates, we hope to see Redmonds gather from far and wide in Truro / Bible Hill, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, in celebration of our mutual heritage, stemming from these rather adventurous beginnings. The reunion will be a day and a half of sharing family and historical information, looking through old photographs and family heirlooms, learning more about the rich history of our pioneer family. We welcome you to take part in the planned activities, such as: - Trading Genealogical Information with your Redmond/Redman Cousins - an opportunity to place your family on our Redmond Reunion Family Tree - Redmond Family trivial pursuit and family bingo - Games and activities for kids - `Who's that Ancestor' photo contest - Music, good food, and a chance to greet & meet close and distant relations If you are interested, please respond to any one of the following organizers with your interest.

Thank you all for your messages and prayers. Jamie is under heavy sedation, his second degree burns went to third and his third kept burning. Yesterday, the burning started to slow down some. He was burnt from his ankles to the top of his head. His dad said they plan to operate Friday, so I plan to be there. We don't know exactly what they are hoping to do. Thank you all again.

Where is she buried and with which sisters ? There was Lydia Catherine McRae McGregor and Mary Matilda McRae McKay McKay (she married 2 McKay brothers !). One more question - what happened to Jennie's daughter Maggie who 8 in the 1881 census ? Have you ever come across a Jemina who was also living with the family for the 1881 census ? Thanks for helping clear up these mysteries.

I am searching for the ancestors [ and any other information ] of Jennet [ Jessie ] Kennedy, born about 1802 at Sunny Brae, Pictou County, died Feb. 14, 1895 at Sunny Brae, Pictou County. She was the wife of Hugh Evan Chisholm [ 1796/97-Sept. 12, 1855 ] of Sunny Brae. I believe her father was Donald Kennedy, who emigrated to Nova Scotia [ Pictou ? ] in 1802. Does anyone have any information--What ship did Donald come on?, Who was Donald's wife, siblings etc.? Who were Jessie's siblings etc? Any information would be much appreciated.

Dear Jean: You mentioned a Stewart cemetery in Pictou County. My earliest Stewarts are Robert and Margaret Irvine Stewart, parents of William Stewart, my wife's greatgrandfather. William was born in Pictou County and died young in Weaverville, CA. I don't have any information on Robert and Margaret beyond their names (from family records), and don't know if they were born in N. S. or Scotland. They may be the younger couple listed as Robert Stewart in the 1817 census. If they are in the Stewart (or other) cemetery, I would be glad of any information. Peter Fish wtc48@aol.com
