    3. Hello, About 5 years ago I had an article published in a Truro newspaper about the large McNUTT family in Salmon River, and 2 different ladies responded. I corresponded with them that year, but I probably haven't heard from them since. I am ready to type up a small report on the 6 CORKILL siblings who arrived in Canada between 1873 and 1875. And I would like to find more descendants of Charles and Julia (CORKILL) McNUTT. This is the same family which is mentioned on the "GeneJane" web site. And I have the names of their 10 children, and that has been posted on the Lists before. And, I know that Charles McNUTT was killed in a trainyard accident in 1902. And I know that his widow, Mrs. Julia McNUTT, lived a fairly long life. I have been reminded today that one of the ladies who wrote to me 5 years ago was part of the MacINTOSH family. She said one of her aunts was a volunteer at the Colchester Historical Society at the time. And I think she was from one of the McNUTT daughters. The other lady was part of a CROWELL family, and the family had a "furniture store" in the area. I seem to remember she was descended from one of the McNUTT sons. The 2 ladies did not know of each other, and I told each about the other. I would like to reconnect with them and wondered whether anyone knew of them. (I have corresponded with the Colchester Historical Society, and they didn't offer any information on the 2 ladies.) If anyone needs more details, I will look in my box of papers about my LEWIS / CORKILL great-grandparents to see if I can find the pages. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. I have found about 8 descendants of my great-grandparents, and this week I sent 6 of them a copy of my unfinished report on their .13. children. I hope to send them additional information next month. I have received new information on the some of the CORKILL siblings, and I would like to type up a summary of that information and send it to "distant cousins," also. I do correspond with a descendant of Edward CORKILL arriving in Vancouver, BC, in 1873. And I have just found a descendant of Mrs. Esther (CORKILL) COFFIN of Nantucket, MA. So, if I can reconnect with the descendants of Mrs. Julia (CORKILL) McNUTT, or find more descendants, IF they want to share their information, I will add it to my report. Their youngest brothers, John CORKILL and Robert CORKILL, arriving in Halifax in 1874 at Ages 5 and 3, never had children. (John married Elizabeth CHISHOLM, and Robert never married.)
