She is currently trying to obtain a birth date and place for her great,great grandfather Andrew Jeans who was the Deacon at the Chelsea United Baptist Church he married Elizabeth Freeman (1826). His father was Daniel Jeans who was one of three butchers in Shelburne. Supposedly, Daniel received a King's Bounty in Shelburne (1786). It is likely Daniel was a United Empire Loyalist. We believe his other son was named Isaac (Isaac married an Isabella). In addition to information on Andrew, we are interested in information on Daniel Jeans (Jaynes, Jayne, Jean, etc)

I'll try later in the fall to get through to him. As far as the Adams family being native it seems highly unlikely to me. The family that I am researching came from England and there is no native lines that I know of. Where did you find the line that you refer to? Thanks again for your reply Linda

My connnection to it is that my mother was a Blades, d/o John Lester Blades, a direct descendant of Henry Blades/Adams. Mike Blades is my first cousin, son of my mother's brother, Walter and he is a professor of Chemistry at UBC and I have his e-mail as blades@chem.ubc.ca, but he is only available from Sept to Apr at this address. The rest of the time he is travelling, writing papers and so forth. I am not aware that he has a personal e-mail address. It has been a bit since I was in contact with him. While I have you here, I do have a question and that is - is there any proof that the Adams family were part or full Micmac natives?? If so, I would like to prove it and if not, well, it was worth a try. My mother did have a bit of the original land grant at Pubnico, but do not know what happened to it. Regards, Elizabeth Barclay-Lapointe
