Howard - we are both right in our own way - the St. Paul's marriage records do indicate Frederick Mosher marrying Ruth Masters on Sept. 12, 1817 - BUT - I also see where Willoughby lists his mothers maiden name as Matthews from Yarmouth. Sooooo either one of the records has incorrect surname, OR there were two Frederick Moshers married in 1817 since marriage dates DO differ. Looks like we have a nice mystery to unravel. Keep in touch cuz, will be interesting to sort this out. <<According to the death record and the marriage record of their son John Henry her last name was Matthews and she was born in Yarmouth, N. S. I found out there was a Ruth Ann Matthews born in Yarmouth, N. S. in 1792, no other info. - Howard Message: 1 Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 08:57:58 -0300 From: "EASTERN SHORE" <easternshore@hotmail.com> Subject: [NS-L] FREDERICK MOSHER FOR H. BLAXLAND Howard - I have Frederick Mosher marrying Ruth Masters, on Sept. 12, 1817 at St. Paul's Church in Halifax. My source is the St. Paul's marriage records. I do not have him marrying a "Matthews" - if you have something to indicate my data incorrect, pls let me know. Hope this helps.
