Hello Quite a few responses. If I understand them correctly, here goes: The consensus (so far)(if I understand the responses correctly) is that in the 1600s the entire area of the Annapolis River Basin was French and considered Port Royal. With the French Fort being located at the place where the very small town of Port Royal is today. (Directly across from Goat island about 5-6 miles down river from current day AR.) A few homes and Schafner's Point Cemetery might be the main attractions of current day town of Port Royal along with the original "Habitation" of course. Now, when the British conquered the French here, this same area (Annapolis River Basin) became known as Annapolis Royal from the 1710's on. I am told that the British Fort (Fort Anne) was built at site in current day Annapolis Royal. This building of this British fort here may or may not be correct. Is this plausible explanation? Further comments welcomed. Thanks for your interest Richard Richard Hardwick (Researching direct lines in Nova Scotia and New England - HARDWICK, ARMSTRONG, BARTEAUX, SPURR, HENDERSON, BLACKMAR, MARSH) RiHardwick@comcast.net

Hello Richard, I have the book by Calnek called The History of the COUNTY of Annapolis. Its a bit too much for me to to read or type at the moment. , but I think it is a matter of time frame. My understanding is that Port Royal was the military fort, and Annapolis Royal was the later name for that same area. I am not learned in history, but at the beginning of the book it states History of the County of Annapolis (including Old Port Royal and Acadia). It tells of a prominent person, taking Port Royal and dividing it into Counties. , of which Annapolis was a county.

Hi Sue Another friend tells me that the old French Fort of old Port Royal was located on the northern shore of the Annapolis River, opposite to Goat island, 5-6 miles down river from where Annapolis Royal is today. The British Fort was established in present day Annapolis Royal. So this combined with what you are indicating that the "entire area" was considered Port Royal or Annapolis Royal makes sense, including the areas of both those forts. Eventhough those 2 forts did not co-exist, since the area was either French or British. It sounds like the area where the French Fort was went away for a time only to come back as Lower Granville and then later as a "new" Port Royal (a new town?) at the site of where the old French Fort was. Am I making any sense? Just trying to summarize what I have been recently told by several.

While the Port Royal of today is still within that area, it is not the actual town. One of the original names for Port Royal was Lower Granville, a place-name most genealogists are familiar with. I don't think the name was changed from LG to PR until the 1950s or so. Karsdale was also in the area of Lower Granville, but may have been a separate settlement at one time....(not sure about that one.) Now within the area of Port Royal, there was a fort established by the French. That fort site became first Annapolis and then Annapolis Royal as the county of Annapolis was established. I don't know if the acadians named the settlements as separate entities from the area of Port Royal.....perhaps someone else can tell us that???

Hello all I was wondering if some history/geography buff might explain the differences between Port Royal and Annapolis Royal. It is/was my understanding that when the British were finally successful in their conquest at Port Royal in the early 1700s that they changed the name of Port Royal to Annapolis Royal in honor of Queen Anne. However, in recently finding info that some of my relatives are buried at Schafner's Point Cemetery, it is indicated that this cemetery is in Port Royal. And some of these interments are fairly recent. So that information sent me on a quest.

Thank you Betty, For your time but that is not my 2nd great grandfather Walter, the naming both male and female makes it tuff looking up your families. Walter Smith and Harriet (Elizabeth Wilcox) Fraser, the only 2 children that maybe still with them in 1891 would be the 2 youngest John b: 01 Jan 1872 and Annie R. 22 Oct 1875 the other children Elizabeth (Bessie) Ann b: 03 Aug 1862 AU where Walter and Harriet married she and her brother David Albert b: 1866 are already in MA and Bessie is married in 1888 to Josephus and has one child Maude DeHarker Howard b: 1890 Boston, Minnie b: Abt. 1865 and married Alexander MacLeod, Maude b: Abt. 1868 know nothing else about her, Allister Culton b: 1867 marries Janet Allen Wilson, John b: 1872 know nothing else about him, Annie R. is a bookkeeper in Boston and never marries. My Walter Smith Fraser has siblings Janet no dates, Marion Ann same, John David b: 1824, Catherine M. b: 1825 and Alexander David b: 1837 marries Mary M. MacGillivray and has only 1 daughter that I know of Bessie (Elizabeth) Fraser b: 1860 marries George L. Revaleon 1883 Boston the only reason I know this Bessie's parents they are listed on her marriage to George in MA vitals. Looks like Walter and his siblings are all born New Glasgow? Plus the 3 cousins live together in Boston after both Bessie's husbands die. Walter's parents are 1st cousins David the son of Esq. John Fraser and Katherine Fraser her parents Alexander and Marran (McIver) Campbell Fraser off the Hector, and Elizabeth's are Alexander the 2nd and Mary McDonald and his parents are the same as Katherine (also saw her listed as Catherine). Though her grave stone states Katherine she was married 1st to Alexander Ross most likely in Scotland and seems nothing else is known about him? This is what I know about my Fraser line any help filling in the blanks would be much appreciated and wonderful to learn. I've a photo of my great grandfather David Albert and my great grandmother Nora Steeves, they had 2 children Alister Francis my grandfather and great uncle Walter Howard. Thank you Wanda In MacLennan's Mountain is listed a Fraser family consisting of Walter S. Fraser 54 Jane 55 Christie 26 Nellie 21 Ashael 18 Laura 16 Not sure if this is who you are looking for, but I found it in the 1891 Census for Pictou County.

I am trying to connect with someone that is researching North family in the Halifax area. The following is the family I am interested in. George North born about 1848 in England and died in Halifax Feb.9, 1925. He married Margaret A Snow Nov. 1890 in Dartmouth. They had the following children. George 1891, Earl 1894, Clyde 1895 and Maurice 1898. George Sr. was a Sexton at Trinity Church in Halifax prior to his death. The only location I have for the family is Jollymore Village at the time of death. Any information that leads to a contact in this family would sure help with my research. Thanks in advance. Wally (in Alberta)

Further to my first inquiry this morning--Dorcas (Schooner from MA)and daughter of Master (Sarah Kelly, died NS in 1866) . I am reseracing CHASES in Nova Scotia, and as I indicated in my earlier message this morning, my curiosity was peaked by the discovery of the death record in Nova Scotia for Sarah Kelly, daughter of Patrick KELLY and Dorcas CHASE. I then found an old message on the MABARNST-L (posted in 2003)that contained information about schooners connected to CHASE families, which may have visited Nova Scotia. The message mentioned Nathaniel CHASE and James CHASE. The message also mentioned the surname NICKERSON. Crowell's History of Barrington Township in Nova Scotia states that Henry WILSON, grantee, m, Sarah CHASE, dau, of Thomas (Obediah) CHASE of Cape Cod.Evidently, Henry WILSON was born at Chatham in 1736, married Sarah Chase there Jan.4 , 1759, and came to Barrington , N.S, about 1762. Does anyone have any moe information on these CHASEs? Here is the rest of the message from MABARNST-L: "2. FREEDOM, schooner, of Harwich. Built at Dartmouth in 1818. Reg'd 30 Mar. 1821. Owners: William SMITH, Nathaniel CHASE, Samuel TRIPP, David WIXON, Harwich. Master: James CHASE. Note: This could be David Wixon is the man who was son of Job Wixon and Desire Chase, born Harwich 4 April 1795, m. Patience Taylor, d. 11 June 1875 (all dates HVR). He is called Captain on his gravestone (West Harwich Baptist Cem). Can anyone confirm this? 3. R. BAKER, JR., schooner, of Harwich. Built at Duxbury in 1851. Reg'd 3 Jul. 1858-permanent, South Dennis. Owners: Fernandes G. KELLY, William HENDREN, Joseph K. BAKER, Joseph K. BAKER Jr., Horace HUMPHREY, David HOWES, Thomas HOWES, William ANSEL, Joseph B. KELLY, Dennis; Nehemiah D. KELLY, Thomas ELLIS, estate Richard BAKER, Nathaniel CHASE, Harwich. Master: Fernandes G. KELLY. Note: Fernandes G. Kelley was son of Isaiah 6 Kelley (Patrick 5 Kelley/Dorcas Chase, Patrick 4 Kelley/Bethiah Baker, Eleazer 3 Killey/Sarah Browning, Jeremiah 2 O'Killey/Sarah ?Chase, David 1 O'Kelia/Jane Powell) and Sally Downs. He married Susan Howes who was the dau of David Howes and Salome Nickerson, so his father-in-law might be the owner listed of that name. Fernandes is buried at Swan Lake Cemetery in Dennisport (gravestone: born 1821, died 1898). Nancy Thacher Reid's Dennis history has some interesting information on Fernandes. He was at sea in the Yankee Gale of 1 October 1851 but came home safely, although many other vessels were lost with all their crews aboard. Captain Fernandes Geoffrey Kelley was anchored in Charleston, South Carolina when the firing upon Fort Sumter began. He immediately offered his schooner the May for use of the Union in transporting supplies to the various forts in the south land. Joseph B. is likely the man of that name from Dennis, son of Asa and Hannah Kelley, born 1819, d. 1894; married Abigail Howes dau of Ezra Howes and Anna Allen (Ezra is brother to the above David Howes -- they were sons of David Howes and Rebecca Baker of Dennisport)." http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/mabarnst/2003-01/1042761927 Linda

Recetly while researching the Nova Scotia Vital Statistic database, I came across the following death: Sarah Kelly, died 1866 in Queens, Queens County Item can be found in Registration Year: 1866 - Book: 1814 - Page: 11 - Number: 1 https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com Her parents were given as Patrick Kelly and Dorcas Chase. I have been researching CHASE so this peaked my curiosity. I googled these names and discovered the following message, which was posted on MABARNST-L (posted in 2003). "1. DORCAS, schooner, of Harwich. Built at Harwich in 1817. Reg'd 3 May 1821. Owners: Henry KILLEY, Patrick KILLEY, Patrick KILLEY Jr., Gamaliel CHASE, Harwich. Master: Isaiah KILLEY. Note: Patrick Kelley was the first of the surname who settled in Harwich. He came from Yarmouth, where he was born in 1723, and settled on the east side of Herring river near or on the spot where the. house of the late Sheldon Crowell stands. He built the water mill below his house on the river, known as the "Lower Mill," in or about 1762, and was the miller many years. He was twice married. His last wife was widow Betsey Nickerson, whom he married in 1782. By his first wife, he had Patrick, Ebenezar, Samuel, Oliver and other children. His father was Eleazar Kelley; and his grandfather was Jeremiah Kelley, both of Yarmouth, where their ancestor, David Kelley, resided. Patrick Kelley, the son, born in Harwich in 1753, married Dorcas Chase, daughter of Sylvanus and Charity Chase, and settled upon the Penney farm, which he purchased of Isaac Weekes in 1788. The house which he built and in which he resided until his death, is now occupied by Marshall Kelley, standing northwesterly from the Harwich railroad station, and is one of the oldest houses in town. He was a shipwright by trade. Among the vessels he built was the schooner Dorcas of this town, which was launched in 1817. He died October 28, 1834, aged eighty. His wife died April 13, 1834. He had eleven children—eight sons and three daughters." http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/mabarnst/2003-01/1042761927 The sschooner Dorcas likely travelled between Massachusetts and Nova Scotia. Of course, Yarmouth and Harwich refer to places in Massachusetts. Does anyone have any information on Sarah Kelly, her parents Patrick KELLY and Dorcas CHASE, and whether any oher relatives in addition to Sarah lived in Nova Scotia. Linda Chase

To all:- I am copying in the NOVA-SCOTIA list -- there were many transcribers who assisted in making this province the first to be 100% - but Lunenburg County was the first county. It would be nice to have all provinces transcribed -- I know proofreaders have been working in Nova Scotia (I had a number of pages to correct, mainly in the Queens and Shelburne areas). Percentages to date are:- CANADA...............................96.99% ALBERTA..............................80.15% [Calgary is 100%] BRITISH COLUMBIA............79.40% [Nanaimo is 100%] SASKATCHEWAN.................88.24% [Four districts 100%] REQUEST:- If a transcriber cannot figure out the writing - it can be bad, please do NOT Claim the Page -- this prevents others from trying to finish it. Also, too many pages have less than 50 lines -- some were claimed in 2006 -- and I have requested many unlocked. Let's get this job done -- census is a major part of genealogy. http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON
