Aug 1836 in New Brunswick, CAN, according to 1900 census. Family insisted she from Economy, Nova Scotia. She m 1860, John Mathie, b. Scotland, Sep1838. Both buried in Edmunds. Family tradition: Nancy's father b ENG or India, one or both of his parents being missionaries. It is not known if her father's parents brought him to Canada or her father came as an adult. This family has eluded me for more years than I care to remember. I will never find John Mathie's parents, considering he, as a 10 year old, dropped the water buckets he was carrying and went on a ship to Canada, when asked if he would replace a sick cabin boy. and never returned.
