For its inhabitants this brought many changes. In addition to those who had survived since 1734, in 1761 another 89 new people are known to have lived on the estate. Their stories are told, as well as those of seven children born on Mountravers during Coker’s managership and of ten new Africans whom he purchased in 1762. Of these 106 individuals, only one lived long enough to see slavery being abolished. ◄► ▼◄► By the 1760s as many a third of all sugar plantations in the British West Indies belonged to absentee owners. 2 Some were managed by able men with energy and drive, but Mountravers had gone stale after almost thirty years of absentee ownership. The land had become neglected and the people who worked it were in poor shape. Those who had survived since 1734 had buried many of their friends and relatives, but children had also been born on the plantation and although fewer slaving ships called at Nevis, there were still new arrivals. A great number had been imported in the year 1755.3 However, the last people bought for Mountravers probably were those purchased in the late 1740s during John Frederick Pinney’s second visit to Nevis.

  • Candy on the Snow and About New Brunswick’S Maple Heritage!
    LEARN HOW TO MAKE CANDY ON THE SNOW AND ABOUT NEW BRUNSWICK’S MAPLE HERITAGE! ELEMENTARY & MIDDLE SCHOOL OBJECTIVES • Learn how to make candy on the snow at home; • Provide students with a brief history of maple sugar making in New Brunswick; • Read and discuss an Indigenous story; • Learn what artifacts are and how they help you to understand history. GRADE LEVEL(S) • This lesson is intended for students from Grade 4 to 9, but students of all ages may enjoy the activity. • Please fully read this lesson and adapt it to the student’s level. MATERIALS & INGREDIENTS NEEDED • Maple syrup • Popsicle sticks • Snow or blended ice • Pan • Candy thermometer • Stove top Do you like to put maple syrup on your pancakes and waffles? Have you ever used it ACTIVITY in baking? Do you put maple syrup on things other people might find strange? White, brown, and powdered sugar are what many people think of when they think of sugar. These sugars are all made from a plant called sugar cane. Sugar cane doesn’t grow in New Brunswick. A long time ago, it was really expensive to ship this type of sugar to New Brunswick. Imagine all the food you wouldn’t be able to enjoy without access to sugar. A lot of food relies on sweetners to make it tasty, so locals made sugar from what was available: maple trees! INGREDIENTS & MATERIALS Back then, the coming of spring was marked by • Maple syrup maple sugar-making. As soon as the sun began • Clean snow to melt the snow, the settlers would go into • Popsicle sticks the woods and collect and boil sap from maple • Pan trees.

Fifteen patients from thirteen families were found to have CDG-Ia on the basis of markedly reduced phosphomannomutase (PMM) activity in fibroblasts in culture. Mutation analysis of the PMM2 gene demonstrated the presence of 8 missense mutations. All the patients were compound heterozygotes for these mutations.

  • Notes on Ingredients Used in Huntly Before the First World War
    Notes on ingredients used in Huntly before the First World War Before 1914, the regional diet was still largely limited to what could be produced locally and affected by seasonal factors. Furthermore, food supplies depended on war and peace, politics and commerce. References below are listed in Janet Starkey, Strathbogie, the Gordons and the ‘land o’Cakes (Swinton: the author, 2017). Most of the ingredients used were of necessity sourced locally. Game, dairy products, fish, fruit and vegetables were available. People made their own beer and bread, kept chickens; and grew basic fruit and vegetables in their gardens. They relied on oatmeal, barley meal, potatoes, cheese, all rich in starch and protein. Occasionally a cow or sheep were killed, and they relied on milk and kail. Other items included salmon, haddock, cold meat, roasted venison. The very poor in the 1910s relied on oatmeal, bread, potatoes, dripping and cups of tea for their sustenance. Women made jam, preserved fruit and dried vegetables, local wines and vinegars, chutney, pickles, biscuits and cakes. Before 1914, Local produce remained important but, many culinary ingredients, wine and spices, though expensive, were being imported from around the world, especially from the colonies of the British Empire, America and Europe, as the following notes indicate. Canning and processed food Processes were changing before 1914: for the first time, a wide range of packaged and canned goods became available due to improved communications by steamship and rail. The mid-nineteenth century saw the first canned food; by the 1890s, cans were produced in significantly large quantities and the first canning factory opened in England in 1912.

Brown wash over pencil, with water colour & gouache by Owen Staples? ca 1915. Laid down on cardboard. JRR 2213 Cab II, John Ross Robertson Collection, Baldwin Room, Toronto Reference Library Public domain 1 Preface Over the past few years, universities in Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and beyond have undertaken studies exploring the connections between slavery and the history of their institutions. In February 2018, the University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, initiated its own investigations to bring to light ways in which slavery and the profits derived from trade in the products of enslaved labour contributed to the creation and early operation of King’s, Canada’s oldest chartered university. David W. States, a historian of African Nova Scotia with a multi-generational personal heritage in this province, and Karolyn Smardz Frost, an archaeologist, historian and author whose studies focus on African Canadian and African American transnationalism, were chosen to become part of a small cadre of scholars charged with the task of bringing different aspects of this long-hidden history to light.
