Surnames: Wigmore, Withe Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YOC.2ACE/206.313.418.508.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Roy - You state that your John Witmore was born in 1893 and died in 1903, but also that he married a Ruth Withe. This would appear to indicate that either one of the dates are wrong or else the fact that he married is not correct, if he died at the age of ten.

In the 1838 census, Samuel Doleman is listed as a stonemason, resident in Ball's Bridge, Cape Breton County, with a family of 6. His birthplace is not known. He and his wife Eleanor (birth name unknown) are known to have joined Calvary Baptist Church, North Sydney. Their daughter, Mary Anne (also sometimes called Marian) married Peter Grant, brother of this writer's gg-grandfather, about 1848, and raised a substantial family. Samuel Doleman and Susan Jane Doleman were witnesses in a court case tried in Sydney in 1850. The court records are sparse, but it is probable that Susan Jane was the victim of an assault. From a local newspaper report of the trial, which did not name the victim, it is also possible that Susan Jane was about 16 at the time and may have been mentally challenged, to use modern terminology. At that point, the family completely disappeared from local records in Cape Breton. (In particular, they were not on the passenger list of any of Norman MacLeod! 's ships for New Zealand in the 1850's.) Since the surname Doleman is much more common in the southern counties of Nova Scotia than in Cape Breton, it is at least possible that Samuel had relatives there. I am therefore trying to check the possibility that he may have moved his family to another part of Nova Scotia after the traumatic events of 1850. Unfortunately, I do not have ready access to census records from that part of the province before 1881. I would therefore be very grateful for any information which anyone may have about a Samuel, Eleanor or Susan Jane Doleman, the first two probably born in the early 1800's, the latter about 1833 or 1834.

Your letter was very interesting. I think I might have found the missing generation which would be Grandpa Harvey's (Kate Mellish's husband) grandfather. Am sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but this information was stored up in my brother's attic among other documents pertaining to other things. So, I spent last night going through loads of documents and found just one that pertained to the Harvey ancestors. His name was John Harvey and he was a sea captain. He died at sea in 1822, sailing from the Port of Liverpool, N.S. I have no idea when he was born. I wonder if a sea captain had to register at the town hall or with the maritime in order to get their license or is there a record kept of seamen who died at sea?" she sent me a scanned copy of the note which reads as follows: This Desk Belonged To Capt. John Harvey Who Died at Sea In the Year of our Lord 1822 (?--looks like "Sable ing") From the Port of Liverpool N.S ________________________________________________ It was Repaired by his Son John W. Harvey In the Year of our Lord 1876 ________ ________ I know from anecdotal information that Capt. John Harvey was born in CT and his wife was born in NS. His son John William Harvey#1 (was married to Susan F. Jones, daughter of Mehitabel Chadsey Jones and Capt. Smith Jones of NS,) moved to Boston and became a citizen and is my husband's great great grandfather. Any info would be appreciated. thanks.
