My brick wall......   I am also trying to locate information about an ancestor, John Pierre Murphy b. 1769.  Is it possible he arrived in Newfoundland or Nova Scotia from Ireland as a British soldier around the time of the American Revolution, or after?   By 1825 Jean Pierre was living in Chezzetcook, and had 100-200 acres of land under a Crown Grant.    Sherry  --- On Sun, 2/28/10, Barbara Meredith <[email protected]> wrote: From: Barbara Meredith <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NS-L] 74th Regiment of Foot To: "Bill White" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Date: Sunday, February 28, 2010, 7:56 PM Hi Bill, I have also been interested in this Regiment and know it was in Nova Scotia and also in Newfoundland; but I would love a list of the soldiers if anyone has a link to it.

Would anyone know anything about the 74th Regiment of Foot during the Revolutionary War? Gregor McGREGOR who settled in Barney's River after the war served with this Regiment. He then removed to Cape Breton with his family I think in 1817. Thanks. Bill

Betty, Thanks for posting. I grew up in that area.

Because it is a "mill city" from it's beginning in 1820's, there have always been people from many countries living there. I believe I saw an obituary earlier this month which had a connection to Nova Scotia. But, in yesterday's paper, I read another.

Hi All, It was pointed out to me today by one of my website users that a large amount of the names in the town of Lunenburg section of the 1871 Lunenburg County were missing. Upon further inspection, I determined that part of the database had become corrupt, thereby rendering a large portion of this section gone from cyberspace. I have restored the database from a backup, and now it is complete as it once was. I do not know how long this problem existed. It has been a few months since I looked at it. So, it may be a good idea to re-visit this section for another look if you came up empty before... Please let me know if you discover any other discrepancies.

In Canada around 1800 Joseph Leahy Married Jane Barry.  Two of their children were Benjamin Robert Leahy and William Leahy My Great-Great-Great Grand-father, Benjamin Robert Leahy married Sophia Dukette. Both born in Canada. They crossed into Vermont, went to the southern tip of Lake Champlain and settled in Crown Point NY. Then they moved East into Fair Haven VT, a small town on the Eastern side of Lake Champlain. Three daughters were born in Fair Haven--Jane, Jeanette ( my great-grand-mother ) and  Lillian. Later the family moved to Goshen, VT My research has come to a standstill on ancestors of thes lines .Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, David in Lowell, MA USA

Hi Mike, As Peggy states, things are difficult to track with so many names the same, from generation to generation. According to the info that I have, the Alexander Davidson that married Margaret Luddington was born, in 1872, in Isaac's Harbour, NS. He was the son of John Joseph Davidson and Margaret Clarke. His siblings were: John B. Davidson, born 1876. Isaac Davidson, born 1876. William Davidson, born 1880. John Joseph Davidson was born abt 1846 and was the son of John Davidson, born abt 1823 & Margaret ( ??? ) Davidson, born abt 1822. Margaret Clarke was born October 18, 1846, in West River, NS. She was the daughter of John B. Clarke and Sarah Langley John Joseph Davidson & Margaret Clarke were married on November 17, 1870 John Joseph Davidson's siblings were: Alexander Davidson, born abt 1849. George Davidson, born abt 1859. Robert Davidson, born abt 1863. Jane Davidson, born abt 1866. According to my info, John Davidson, father of John Joseph Davidson, was the son of William Davidson and Mary Niblett John Davidson had a brother, James Davidson, who married Isabella MacMillan, daughter of Duncan MacMillan and Amy Chivers. James and Isabella Davidson had a family totaling 11 ( 5 sons & 6 daughters ). Their daughter Susan Alma Davidson was my great grandmother having married my great grandfather, Francis Harding Silver. John & James had another brother, Peter Davidson. Peter married Jane Johanna MacMillan, a sister of Isabella MacMillan who married brother James. I also believe that there was a sister, Jane Davidson, who married John Latham of Isaac's Harbour. This should give you quite a bit to mull over. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact me. I live in Dartmouth, NS and am wondering where, in Nova Scotia you live.

Hello Bill; Re: Raymond Chase Eldredge; are you still looking for information from his WW 1 Draft cerd and if so what would you like from it? Rod MacPhee

I was wondering if somebody would have access to the 1871 census for Annapolis/Digby Co.... When their son Henry L Dunn was married in 1880 he listed his residence as Annapolis...which could mean 2 things Township of Annapolis which would be Carleton Corner, Tupperville or Roundhill....Or it could mean Annapolis Royal area...Henry L Dunn was born in Digby but I didn`t find anything else in Digby Co...No records for George or Martha J...If somebody could look George and Martha J up for me it would be appreciated... His marriage record says his parents were George and Cath but I was able to find his death certificate...George Dunn and Martha Brooks __________________________________________________________________ The new Internet Explorer® 8 - Faster, safer, easier.

Below is Stan's obituary for anyone interested in learning if he returned from overseas and his general history after the war. DUDKA, Stanley: Friday March 7, 2008, Halifax Herald: DUDKA, Stanley - 85, formerly a resident of Stellarton, New Glasgow, and Lawrencetown, Halifax Co., passed away peacefully, surrounded by his children on March 5, 2008, in Camp Hill Veterans' Building, QEII, in Halifax. Born in New Glasgow on January 16, 1923, he was the eldest son of the late Andrew and Margaret (Kowalski) Dudka. He had a quest for adventure that awarded him great recognition throughout his life. He enlisted in the army in 1939 at the age of 16. His first call of duty was as a guard for the Western Union cables that came ashore from overseas in Hazel Hill (Canso-town). It was there in Canso that he met his wife, Alice Cecilia (Ryan). They married in 1941 and celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2001. He served in the Second World War with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and fought on D-Day against the 12th SS Panzer Division. He was captured three times and escaped each time to rejoin his regiment. Post war he became a witness in the Nuremberg War Trial against General Kurt Meyer for the murder of 24 Canadian Prisoners of War. He was awarded the Military Medal by King George VI. Dad joined the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in 1958. Upon joining DFO he was selected as a member of the "Special Force", a selected group of officers to enforce the regulations in the troubled areas of the Maritimes. He went on to become the leader of the Special Force. Stan was then selected to head the enforcement role of Sealing Operations in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He received the Centennial Medal for Merit of Service to Canada in 1967. In 1974 he was singled out again for distinction when he was presented with a Public Service Merit Award, the civil service's highest award. He will be greatly missed by his children, Marilyn (daughter-in-law), Melody (Aubin), Barbara (Ablett), Judith (Lloyd Haggerty), Thomas (Sharon), Helen (David Johnson), Alicia, Bernard (Brenda), Katherine, Sonya (Leo van Dijk), Stephen, and Christopher (Liz). Stan was a devoted father and husband. His wife, Alice, and his oldest son, Stanley Frederick, predeceased him. Stan also joins his siblings, Andrew "Dukie", Helen, Annie, and Bill in heaven. He was the very proud "PAPA" to 25 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. He looked forward to every visit and rejoiced in joking and carrying on with them all. Papa you will always be their "monkey face". Stan pursued his passions with a great commitment, and they included his faith in God, his belief in the Catholic Church, and his love of gardening. The gardens of his Lawrencetown home and the grounds of Pope John XXIII Church were his delight. Special thanks to Mary Galliott for her faithful and loving care of our father for the past five years. Visitation will be held in H.W. Angus Funeral Home, King Street, New Glasgow, today from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 8, at 10 a.m. in Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Stellarton, with Father Don Boudreau officiating. Burial will follow in Lourdes Cemetery. A reception will be held in Branch 28, Stellarton Legion, following the burial. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Cardiac Care Centre, care of the QEII Foundation, 902-473-7932 or www.qe2foundation.com.

I am feeling great. I know you will be glad to hear from me as you probably think I am dead. I was taken prisoner by the Germans on the 7th of June. I escaped though and am now at Bill's unit with him... I had quite a chilling time escaping from the Germans. It wasn't very easy either but the good Lord was with me. The Germans treated us real bad, just like in a movie only twice as worse. However it's over with now but I will never forget them ba.t..ds for what they done to us. Tell Henry White's folks that he is a prisoner of war, he is quite well...I tried to escape three times but I got caught. I was away from them ten days but I couldn't get through the German lines. We are sure giving them hell now.. I was wounded a couple of times but all that is left of them is scars. I am completely better. We had an awful battle on D.Day and the day after. We had a real important job to do also. We suffered heavy though b! ut! > we done our job. We met the S.S. troops. They are real ba.t..ds. The main thing though mom is that I made it and am safe and sound. I don't think the war will last much longer. I hope not anyway. Mom, I wish you could see the priest and have a mass offered for my safe return in thanks to God because without him I don't think I would ever have made it. He was with me all the time because I was in some very tight spots. Well mom I guess I will have to close for now with all my love to my dear wife and baby and Dad and you Dear Mom and the rest of the family. > Your loving son > Stan > xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > FROM THE FRONT > > Stan Dudka writes his wife, Alice, after returning from leave... > My darling wife, > I am in the middle of my leave now.

I do also love you dear and baby Stan just as much. Keep up the good work darling and keep waiting for me with patience and I will love you twice as much when I do come home. > I think I am going for a commission dear, don't build too much hopes on it because I have quite an examination to pass. I think I can though. I will work hard for it thought wont be my fault if I don't pass it. It takes a long time though. I am getting a little civilized again.
