Mcmullen(In) Families of Halifax and Colchester Counties, Nova Scotia McMullen(in) Families of Halifax and Colchester Counties, Nova Scotia Prepared by Douglas Goff, 7748 Wellington Rd. 22, Guelph, ON N1H 6J2 Canada goff.doug at gmail.com www.gofffamilyhistory.ca Updated June 8, 20211 Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Ireland settled Antrim, Halifax Co., Nova Scotia, in 1821. Many of his descendants stayed in the Musquodoboit Valley, at least for a generation or two, except for son Hugh, who settled in Truro, Colchester County. John McMullen, also of Ireland, settled in Upper Stewiacke, Colchester County, in 1824. There is no direct evidence to link them, but they were of similar age and anecdotally there is indirect evidence to link them, perhaps as brothers. Due to the proximity of settlement, their descendants can be easily confused within South and Central Colchester Co., East Hants Co. and Northeast Halifax Co. records. I have researched the Archibald McMullen family to a much greater extent. In this report, I have kept the two families separated (John McMullen family starts on p. 276), and also indexed separately (Archibald McMullen family index starts on p. 235 and John McMullen family index starts on p. 298). Many sources have been used in the production of this report. The biography and descendants of Archibald McMullen have been documented by Carol McRobb, Terrace, BC, 1990 (Sixth generation, #312), and we have had many discussions since then. Her research into and account of Archibald is very thorough, as is her account of son Hugh, and his son Alexander Joseph, from whom she descends. I have borrowed heavily from her research in this account, and I gratefully acknowledge her efforts. Subsequently, new information became available from the family bible of William Joseph and Elizabeth (Fox) McMullin, courtesy of Marion (Frame) Piers of Gays River (d/o #222). The biography and descendants of Thomas Gotobed McMullen, another son of Hugh, are also well known, as T.G., and later his sons, became well-known and successful businessmen in Truro and in Alberta/B.C. Some of his descendants are still in Truro. I have added extensively to the other McMullen families, from primary records- census, grave markers, b.m.d. records (Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics), etc., and also much correspondence with various descendants. I must point out early on that in many records, the spellings of McMullen and McMullin have been used interchangeably within families. I have tried to maintain the spellings as recorded, but generally find there to be no logical distinction amongst the spelling usage. Undoubtedly, many errors remain. I produce this report, therefore, not as a complete document (no genealogy is ever complete), but I hope it will provide useful information to researchers in the future. I am more than interested in any corrctions or additions at any time. The author, Douglas Goff (Seventh generation, son of #278) is the 2-great grandson of Rachel (McMullin) McDougall, #21. Note: a few abbreviations used – NSHVS – the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics, www.novascotiagenealogy.com; NEHGS – the New England Historical Genealogical Society; PW – Presbyterian Witness, as recorded in Punch, Terrance, Nova Sotia Vital Statistics from Newspapers. 1 Several additions and a complete renumbering to remove inconsistencies from the previous revision. Page 1 McMullen Families of Halifax and Colchester Counties The Descendants of Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Halifax Co., NS2 First Generation -------------------------------------------------- 1. Archibald McMullen. Born in 1780 in Antrim, Ireland. Archibald died in Antrim, Nova Scotia, on 16 Nov 1841; he was 61. Buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Middle Musquodoboit. This work is a combined effort. The biography and descendents of Archibald McMullen have been documented by Carol McRobb, Terrace, BC, 1990. Her research into and account of Archibald is very thorough, as is her account of son Hugh, and his son Alexander Joseph, from whom she descends. I have borrowed heavily from her research in this account, and I gratefully acknowledge her efforts. The biography and descendents of Thomas Gotobed McMullen, another son of Hugh, are also well known, as T.G., and later his sons, became well known and successful businessmen in Truro and in Alberta. Many of his descendents are still in Truro. Marion (Frame) Piers of Gay’s River has the bible of William Joseph McMullin and Elizabeth Fox, her great grandparents, and it provided much information on the first 3-4 generations (see below). I have added extensively to the other McMullen families, from primary records- census, grave markers, b.m.d. records (Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics), etc., and also much correspondence with various descendents. Archibald McMullen’s origin is described as Irish, from Antrim. The McMullen’s were not, however, Irish, at least not for many generations. They were of the Scots-Irish. It was Queen Elizabeth I who tried to bring Ulster, a Gaelic and Catholic stronghold, more firmly under English control, and to do so by transplanting numerous English families to Ulster lands. James I renewed this plan in 1640, with the tranplantation of Scots to Ireland. These Scots, however, never integrated and were continually in religious and political persecution and strife. Many emigrated to the US, and never fully integrated there, either, being unaccepted by the Americans. Thus the Scots-Irish in both New England and in Ulster were easy targets for British recolonization of Nova Scotia after the Expulsion of the Acadians, and numerous Scots-Irish families arrived in the 1770’s, 1780’s, and 1790’s. Archibald McMullen’s first land petition, dated Aug. 22, 1821, stated that he was born and brought up in the North of Ireland and had just arrived from Ireland with a wife and five sons, the eldest nearly 20 years of age, for the purposes of seeking Crown Land to settle upon. On this petition, James Knowland, Chairman of the Nova Scotia District, noted “The petitioner Archibald McMullin (sic) is well recommended to me as having maintained for many years in his native country the character of a sober, honest, and industrious man and as such I take the liberty of recommending his application to his excellency for a grant of lands.” By Dec. 22, 1824, he had a house and 24 acres of his land cleared. He failed to apply for the land grant within the allotted period, so it expired and he had to reapply. He stated the reson for his delay as “he had not the means of paying the fees for the respective officer.” The 200 acre parcel became his by Nov., 1826. His first neighbours were Thomas Sargent and John Kerr. Some time prior to 1825 his first wife Rachel died. When he applied for Crown Land in 1821, he was “married”, but his wife’s name was not given. When he made out his will, 16 Sept. 1841, he was married to Mary. He left his farm and stock to her, and after her death, to his son Hugh. He named William Logan, Samuel Kerr and his son Alexander as executors. He died 16 Nov. 1841. He may have been buried on his own land or in the Pioneer Cemetery, Musquodoboit. 2 Indexed beginning on Page 235. Page 2 McMullen Families of Halifax and Colchester Counties Halifax County Land Grant Map No. 074, Crown Land Information Management Centre, https://novascotia.ca/natr/land/grantmap.asp I have highlighted Archibald McMullen’s land grant, as well as the Guysborough Road and the landmarks of Devon and Antrim. Wyse Corner and Lake Egmont also provide landmarks. The grant was on the Antrim Road north of the Guysborough Road. This can be seen on Google Maps today, https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Antrim,+NS/@44.9586336,- 63.4266245,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4b5bd67c89a20c65:0x35a533981d9ccc34!8m2!3d44.9639458!4d- 63.3521483?hl=en A document at the Colchester Historical Society archives (anonymous, undated), stated that Hugh McMullen (sic) was the son of Archibald McMullen of Antrim, Ireland. Hugh was born Aug. 17, 1812 in Antrim, Ireland and came to Nova Scotia when he was nine. The document further stated that Archibald d. Oct. 1847, at the age of 67 (b. 1780). However, from Carol McRobb, he died 1841, age 61, so the transcriber missed 1’s for 7’s. Another attached document listing births and deaths of the family of Hugh and Rebekah (which appears as though perhaps it was transcribed from a bible?) listed Archibald McMullen, died Oct. 11, 1841, aged 67 (note difference from above death year). It also lists Thomas Gotobed, Sarah Gotobed, as well as Hugh, Rebekah, and all their children, but interestingly, no wife of Archibald, suggesting Hugh’s mother may have died much before Archibald and the details had been forgotten. Although he was claimed to be “married” when he came to Nova Scotia, no record of his wife was found, but her name Rachel is mentioned in the records of marriage of their sons. Archibald remarried again in 1825 to Mary Thompson (Hugh was 13). In "History along the Old Guysborough Road", by N. E. Gray and A. A. (Blois) Smith, 1987, p. 62, it is stated that "The first school was built at the foot of Nuttle Hill (Antrim) in 1830. Both the school and the church were built on property owned by Archibald McMullen. Since 1830, three schools have been built on this site. The last school closed in 1965 and was sold to Ross McMullen, a great grandson of Archibald McMullen", although it seems like there were more intervening generations than four.

  • 150 Notable Manitoba Curling Teams
    150 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS In honour of Manitoba’s 150 th Anniversary, the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame and Museum has undertaken to identify 150 teams which played a significant role in creating (in the early years) and extending (in more recent times) Manitoba’s reputation for competitive excellence in the world of curling. Our list acknowledges teams from all competitive sectors from the high-profile junior and men’s and women’s teams to less well-known teams at the mixed, senior, and masters levels and even outside the association realm in the deaf, police and postal championship realms. All of these successful teams played roles in establishing Manitoba’s well-deserved reputation. We also acknowledge recent successes in the new discipline of Mixed Doubles but this historical perspective is focussed on the traditional four-person game. INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO ADD TO THE LIST: A total of 150 teams were identified initially. Subsequently two missed teams have been added so the list now includes 152 teams. There are many other teams across Manitoba’s curling history which also belong on a listing of this nature. Manitoba curling fans are invited to suggest other teams for inclusion. In most cases, the teams are included on this list on the basis of the team’s on-ice success in a single outstanding year OR across a series of years. In the latter case, we have acknowledged that so long as three people remained on a team from a previous recorded success – then it was still the same team.

  • Fort Manuel: Its Historical Significance
    Copyright © 1976 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Fort Manuel: Its Historical Significance I RViNG W. ANDERSON The Fort Manuel historic site lies on the west bank of the Missouri River seventy miles south of Bismarck, North Dakota, in the present state of South Dakota. Facts about the site are vague in the minds of the general public as httle has been published about this historical post. When synthesized, how- ever, the total record concerning Fort Manuel reveals that it has dual historical significance.' Established in 1812 by famous Missouri Fur Company trader, Manuel Lisa, Fort Manuel was among the first in the chain of fortified posts that ushered in the fur trading era of the upper Missouri. Although it existed for only a brief period. Fort Manuel claims historical impor- tance, first, because of its involvement in international warfare. On 5 March 1813 it was attacked by Indians and eventually destroyed, apparently upon British instigation arising out of hostilities of the War of 1812. It was reported that fifteen of Manuel Lisa's engages were massacred at the time of the Indian attack. Fort Manuel's second, and perhaps more significant, histori- cal feature lies in its distinction as the place \yhere Sacagawea, the legendary woman member of the Lewis and Clark Expedi- tion, died on 20 December 1812.^ Although records of the period of her death are conclusive as to her identity, a turn of the century theory, which purported that she died in Wyoming 1. When all historical facts are considered. Fort Manuel deserves designation as a Registered National Historic Place, as such identification would properly mark its role in the documented history of the trans-Mississippi West.

  • Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021
    6809 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 86, No. 13 Friday, January 22, 2021 Title 3— Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021 The President Building the National Garden of American Heroes By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Background. In Executive Order 13934 of July 3, 2020 (Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes), I made it the policy of the United States to establish a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden). To begin the process of building this new monument to our country’s greatness, I established the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes (Task Force) and directed its members to plan for construction of the National Garden. The Task Force has advised me it has completed the first phase of its work and is prepared to move forward. This order revises Executive Order 13934 and provides additional direction for the Task Force. Sec. 2. Purpose. The chronicles of our history show that America is a land of heroes. As I announced during my address at Mount Rushmore, the gates of a beautiful new garden will soon open to the public where the legends of America’s past will be remembered. The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism. It will be a place where citizens, young and old, can renew their vision of greatness and take up the challenge that I gave every American in my first address to Congress, to ‘‘[b]elieve in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe, once more, in America.’’ Across this Nation, belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity.

  • The Religious Warfare in Nova Scotia-1855-60
    I I I' I I· The Religious Warfare in Nova Scotia-1855-60 UNDER the above title, my dear and distinguished friend the late Sir Nicholas H. Meagher-Judge Meagher-published in 1927 a little book. He sent me a copy of it with the following inscription: "To my esteemed friend His Honour Judge Patterson who has won for himself an honourable record in his judicial career''. It is not too much to say I was shocked by its contents, as must everyone have been who has made any study of that period of our history. I would have reviewed the book then, and I fear in much the same tone as it employed, but that inscription stayed me. Instead, I wrote my friend calling attention to some of its many mistakes of fact, and suggesting that some at least of his conclusions were not correct. In reply he kindly wrote that "he had not preserved his notes and his '85' memory was uncertain; but that on his return from a trip on which he was about to start, he would 'dig in' again and answer me". I never afterwards heard from him. I owe Judge Meagher much and here again, as I did to himself in his life-time, I cheerfully acknowledge the indebtedness. To parody the language of Job, I wish it were an adversary who had written this book. In what follows, I shall tell the story of what the Judge has termed the "Religious Warfare in Nova Scotia". I shall not do it as well as I should like but at least, it will be true in substance and in fact.

  • Telling the Story: Changing Perceptions of the Lewis and Clark Journals
    TELLING THE STORY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK JOURNALS by Deborah Malony Dukes A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Science Emphasis: Teaching American History May 2006 TELLING THE STORY: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF THE LEWIS AND CLARK JOURNALS by Deborah Malony Dukes Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee: Delores McBroome, Major Professor Date Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Member Date Rodney Sievers, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Graduate Coordinator Date Donna E. Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT The collective journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition have been objects of fascination and interpretation ever since the Corps of Discovery’s homecoming in 1806. Despite President Thomas Jefferson’s direction that Meriwether Lewis prepare the journals for publication, Lewis’ untimely death in 1809 left the editing of the expedition’s records – and much of the storytelling – to a series of writers and editors of varying interests, abilities and degrees of integrity. Understandably the several major editions and many other versions of the story have reflected the lives and times of the editors. For instance, ornithologist Elliott Coues was the first – 89 years after the fact – to acknowledge the expedition’s many scientific and ethnological observations. For their own purposes, successive generations of activists have appropriated iconic expedition members, emphasized or even invented anecdotes, and supposed discoveries. Scholarly and public interest in the journals has peaked during this bicentennial period, as often happens around the times of major anniversaries of the expedition.
