I have to give a belated thank you to all those of you who replied to my query about the MULLENS (MULLENS - from Ireland to Nova Scotia to US 1825-1835). I was in the last couple weeks of school--I teach high school English--and have just now am getting time to investigate the suggestions. I am not familiar with Canadian resource and so appreciate any help I can get. Again, thank you so much for helping in my search! Nancy At 02:01 AM 6/6/2007, you wrote: >Today's Topics: > > 1.

Thank you Toni for your suggestion. Thank you to everyone else who replied to my original message. My next question to ask is whether it's possible to find living descendants of Eric Armstrong and Martha Stevens, considering that you cannot look-up birth information until 100 years have passed. As it was a neighbour who was the informant of Eric's death I'm assuming that he had no family in the vicinity, at the time of his death. I'm waiting to hear from the Herald (as per Shirley's suggestion) whether there was an obituary, which might gives some clues of living relatives. Thanks again. Jill Wiseman Bath, England

Iris -- It was so nice of you to respond to my questions about Halifax Prison and Elligood Mills. My family record says that ...."Elligood Mills was born Aug 26 1744 in Portsmouth, NH, and died Jan 6 1832 in Waterborough, Maine. He was a Master Mariner of Biddeford & Waterborough, Maine. During the Revolutionary War he was an officer of the privateer Grand Turk, and was a prisoner of war at Halifax for nearly 5 years from 1777 to 1781. His first wife was Mary Dyer and his second wife was Lucy McLucas." Since he was a prisoner of war, but did not die in prison, where should I begin searching for a record of his imprisonment during this time frame? Would there be information available on this vessel; i.e., was it captured there? Kindest regards, Sherry Iris Shea <ishea@eastlink.ca> wrote: Sherry, someone forwarded your query about a person/privateer in the Revolutionary War. The prison in Halifax housed the American prisoners of war during the War of 1812. Was your privateer active during that war, and do you think he may have been imprisoned between 1812 and 1815? The name of the prison was Melville Island. The War of 1812 Society of Ohio and Scott Baker have published all of the names (a little over 8000) of those who were held as prisoners of war during the War of 1812 and the volumes (I think there may be as many as three), are in the major libraries. If you are not able to find those publications, let me know and I can look up the name Elligood Mills to see if he is listed. We have the publications in our local library in Halifax, NS. The prison itself, a wooden one, burned down in 1935. I, along with co-author, Heather Watts, wrote the history of Meliville Island in book called Deadman's: Melville Island and Its Burial Ground. In our book we listed only those Americans who died in captivity (195) and were buried on nearby Deadman's Island, and those who escaped. Each year, on Memorial Day, the American Consul general holds a ceremony on Deadman's Island, and a monument has been placed there with all of the names of those who died. Iris Shea

Hello Bill, I have bought a few Second World War items off ebay. Love 'em or hate 'em, some nice things at a reasonable price can be had. Are you aware of this 85th site?

Hi Sherry, If he was a prisoner taken during the American Revolution, then he may have been held in the Halifax Common Jail that was on Hollis St. in downtown Halifax. That prison is long gone; if you go to this site you will find out a bit more about it : http://ace.acadiau.ca/soci/agt/justice/csaaprison86.htm. Apparently it was opposite the Halifax Hotel and not much in the way of a solid structure. The author of the conference paper in the URL I just gave you took that information from T.B. Akins' The History of Halifax City, pp. 77-95. If you could look at that book, perhaps through interlibrary loan, you might find some more information.

The book is "Deadman's - Melville Island and Its Burial Ground" by Iris Shea and Heather Watts. Glen Margaret Publishing, June 2005 I checked the various lists of prisoners in the back and did not see the surname Mills.

Hi -- Thanks to all who responded regarding the Halifax Prison. This is such a wonderful website for history of Nova Scotia! Sherry John Langill <JLANGIL1@STNY.RR.COM> wrote: Sherry, The prison was known as Melville Island. The prison was destroyed by fire in 1935 and today it is the site of a yacht club.

Sherry, It appears that I was a little too quick in firing off my initial reply. After looking over some of my material, I find that the Melville Island Prison didn't come into being until approximately 1803 and was the place of internment for prisoners from the Napoleonic War and later for American privateers and others during the War of 1812, and not during the Revolutionary War. Sorry.

Sherry, The prison was known as Melville Island. The prison was destroyed by fire in 1935 and today it is the site of a yacht club. A search of "Melville Island Halifax" with Google will provide quite a few interesting links. Hope this is of help.

Melville Island was the most used prison for these men. It is no longer standing, but the site is occuoied by the Halifax Yacht club.
