Page ii The BALTZER/BALSOR Family in North America INTRODUCTION Members of the BALTZER family were pre-Loyalist settlers in Lunenburg and Annapolis Counties of Nova Scotia. Consequently many Annapolis Valley families can trace their origins back to one of the children of Christopher BALSOR or Peter BALSOR, the two sons of the immigrant settler, Johannes Christopher BALTZER. Daughters of son Christopher BALSOR married into the McBRIDE, ENGLISH, BURNS, MARGESON, THOMAS and DANIELS familes. Daughters of son Peter BALSOR married into the BARTEAUX, RICE, RILEY and PORTER families. To research all these families, as well as other female lines from the next generation, are in themselves family histories, and would have been an over whelming task so these branches of the family receive only brief coverage in this family history. A brief overview of the European connection for the BALTZER family has been included as well as background on the life and times of Johannes Christopher BALTZER, our immigrant ancestor. Since the arrival of the first German immigrant Christopher BALTZER the family name "BALTZER" underwent significant spelling changes over the years. Many variations of the surname are found in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Eastern United States. The most predominant spelling are BALSOR, BALSER, BALSAR, BOLSOR, etc. In recent years several branches of the family have chosen to revert back to the original spelling of the family name "BALTZER". In this document every effort has been made to try and retain the spellings of the surnames used in the various source documents. Often a given individual will, over his lifetime, appear in several documents with a variety of surname spellings. If any reader wishes a surname spelling 'adjustment' please contact the authors. This is not the first edition of a family history on the BALTZER family in North America with the most recent being issued in 1977, nor will it be the last. Additions, corrections, suggestions, etc. are always welcomed by the authors for future editions. There are many current BALTZER/BALSOR/ BALSER families, spread out over North America, which are not incorporated in this document. Hopefully in future editions many of these families will be included. The reader will notice significant changes in ancestry for many families in this edition over the 1997 edition. Since the issuing of the 1997 edition, W.E. Calnek’s (1822-1892) original manuscript for the printing of “The History of the County of Annapolis” in 1897 (actually published by Judge Savary after Calnek’s untimely death), was located, copied and added to this record. This original manuscript contained much information which was not published in the 1897 book. This additional information required the realigning of several branches of the family and answered numerous questions concerning ancestry of several families. One of the earliest and principal BALTZER family researchers in Nova Scotia, Greta Mae (DAVIDSON) BALSOR, passed away on 26 January 1996. Her husband Roy BALSOR passed away latter in the year on 29 December 1996. Both are buried in the Aylesford Union Cemetery in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. The current principal BALTZER family researchers in North America are: a. Philip BALTZER, 6128 Weobley Lane, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27614; [email protected] Philip initiated placing all early existing research into a computer database and researched the immigration process in detail. Later he has initiated the research of the German origins of our BALTZER lineage. b. Wayne BALTZER, RR #2, Centreville, Kings County, Nova Scotia, B0P 1J0; [email protected] Wayne has done extensive research in Nova Scotia and more recently has concentrated on researching those BALTZERs who have left Nova Scotia. Page iii The BALTZER/BALSOR Family in North America c. Wayne W. Walker, 191 Huntridge Priv., Ottawa, Ontario, K1V 9J3; [email protected] Wayne is the initiator and author of all previous editions of a history of the BALTZER family. He has done the major researching of the Annapolis Valley BALTZER lineage, as well as collecting, integrating and collating what others have done. In this new edition he has asked the other principal researchers to play a more active part in it's preparation. Please feel free to contact any of the above concerning this document. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS No work of this nature could ever be brought to fruition with out the generous assistance of many people. Family history work is never financially rewarding but always a labour of love. Sharing family data and information uncovered through dedicated research is the lifeblood of a research project. This is indeed the case with this Genealogy of The Baltzer Family in North America. Many fellow researchers have provided vast amounts of compiled family history for this work. At the risk of omitting some of these generous 'cousins' a few should be acknowledged for their efforts. Hilma Woods of the Digby Museum has culled the holding of the museum for family related information and she appears in this work in family group 720.. Charlotte Nichols-Vardy, a fellow researcher, has also provided data especially on the New Brunswick branch of the family. Charlotte appears in family group 415. Tim Sanford, a great culler of obituaries and other newspaper items, provided many birth, marriage and death notices from Nova Scotian newspapers. The contributions of numerous family members of their own family information must also be acknowledged. DATA ON COMPACT DISK This family history is available on CD for Windows based computers through the Wayne W. Walker in word processing formats such as WordPerfect 8.0, ASCII, or ADOBE .PDF. The data has also been added to a Personal Ancestral Files data base and is also available on diskette. For a "GEDCOM" file of the database including related European "BALTZERs" contact Philip BALTZER at the following e-mail address: "[email protected]". If requesting a CD please specify desired format of data. Because of the size (8.5MB) of the PDF file, distribution would most efficiently be by free, unmodified download form one or more web sites, which we will try to establish before this book is finalized. The PDF file is designed to facilitate direct printing into 230 pages and since there are few colour photos, a preliminary scan of the book is suggested so that those pages, requiring colour printing, can be printed separately. Printing by using just black and white, those colour photos should still be recognizable. Hopefully, those without computer facilities at home will be able either to take our CD directly, or a website address, to a properly equipped copy/printing company for direct printing of the whole book. To use the CD information on your home computer, without printing out the entire book, we suggest that you copy the PDF file from the CD to your hard drive as your hard drive is must faster to access that your CD drive. Then for your convenience we suggest that you create a “shortcut” to that file for your desktop. Then your new Baltzer Book is just one click away!

  • The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18Th Century Nova Scotia*
    GEOFFREY PLANK The Two Majors Cope: The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18th Century Nova Scotia* THE 1750S BEGAN OMINOUSLY IN Nova Scotia. In the spring of 1750 a company of French soldiers constructed a fort in a disputed border region on the northern side of the isthmus of Chignecto. The British built a semi-permanent camp only a few hundred yards away. The two armies faced each other nervously, close enough to smell each other's food. In 1754 a similar situation near the Ohio River led to an imperial war. But the empires were not yet ready for war in 1750, and the stand-off at Chignecto lasted five years. i In the early months of the crisis an incident occurred which illustrates many of *' the problems I want to discuss in this essay. On an autumn day in 1750, someone (the identity of this person remains in dispute) approached the British fort waving a white flag. The person wore a powdered wig and the uniform of a French officer. He carried a sword in a sheath by his side. Captain Edward Howe, the commander of the British garrison, responded to the white flag as an invitation to negotiations and went out to greet the man. Then someone, either the man with the flag or a person behind him, shot and killed Captain Howe. According to three near-contemporary accounts of these events, the man in the officer's uniform was not a Frenchman but a Micmac warrior in disguise. He put on the powdered wig and uniform in order to lure Howe out of his fort.

  • The Three Lives of Edward Cornwallis by John G
    The Three Lives of Edward Cornwallis by John G. Reid Read before the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society 16 January 2013 or some twenty years now, a lively controversy has flourished over the reputation of the first Halifax-based Fgovernor of Nova Scotia, Edward Corn- wallis. Was Cornwallis a courageous and far-sighted founder of Halifax and builder of colonial Nova Scotia, or was he a genocidal imperialist whose chief claim to notoriety was his placement of a price on the heads of all indigenous inhabitants of Mi’kma’ki?1 Should Cornwallis continue to be distin- guished by the prominence of his statue in downtown Halifax, or should all public marks of his existence—statue, names of Figure 1. Portrait of Edward Cornwallis by Sir Joshua Reynolds, circa. 1756 places and streets—be erased? Insofar as I have made previous public comments on such issues, I have expressed concern about the application of the twentieth-century term ‘genocide’ to an eighteenth-century situation, but have applauded the action of the Halifax Regional School Board in renaming Cornwallis Junior High School and have suggested that the statue belongs in a museum with an appropriate interpretive panel rather than in its current place of public display. My focus in this essay, however, is rather different. I will offer a histori- cal portrayal of Cornwallis in three contexts. The first will be the eighteenth-century Cornwallis. What, from the viewpoint of historical analysis, is or is not significant about the Nova Scotia career, brief as it was, of this early governor? The second will be the Cornwallis of the statue.

  • The British Empire in the Atlantic: Nova Scotia, the Board of Trade, and the Evolution of Imperial Rule in the Mid-Eighteenth Century
    The British Empire in the Atlantic: Nova Scotia, the Board of Trade, and the Evolution of Imperial Rule in the Mid-Eighteenth Century by Thomas Hully Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Thomas Hully, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 ii Abstract The British Empire in the Atlantic: Nova Scotia, the Board of Trade, and the Evolution of Imperial Rule in the Mid-Eighteenth Century Thomas Hully Dr. Richard Connors Submitted: May 2012 Despite considerable research on the British North American colonies and their political relationship with Britain before 1776, little is known about the administration of Nova Scotia from the perspective of Lord Halifax’s Board of Trade in London. The image that emerges from the literature is that Nova Scotia was of marginal importance to British officials, who neglected its administration. This study reintegrates Nova Scotia into the British Imperial historiography through the study of the “official mind,” to challenge this theory of neglect on three fronts: 1) civil government in Nova Scotia became an important issue during the War of the Austrian Succession; 2) The form of civil government created there after 1749 was an experiment in centralized colonial administration; 3) This experimental model of government was highly effective. This study adds nuance to our understanding of British attempts to centralize control over their overseas colonies before the American Revolution. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program for providing the funding which made this dissertation possible, as well as the University of Ottawa’s Department of History for providing me with the experience of three Teaching Assistantships.

"As Near as May Be Agreeable to the Laws of this Kingdom": Legal Birthright and Legal Baggage at Chebucto, 1749 Thomas Garden Barnes* The Old British Empire at its greatest extent and the height of its grandeur, between 1763 and 1776, comprised thirty-three colonies, all but a few of them in North America and the Caribbean, none of them older than 1607. The most recently acquired colonies included the largest, Canada, and some of the smallest, Grenada and St. Vincent.1 The Empire was not a monolith. Differing geography, history, economics, social structure and dynamics, and ethnicity produced political societies of great variations and disparities, even between contiguous colonies. Historians of the Old Empire have found general- ization difficult and dangerous, save when describing "imperial policy" (such as it was).

  • THE EVOLUTION of PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY in NOVA SCOTIA by Brian Cuthbertson Ph.D., Historical Researcher
    THE EVOLUTION OF PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY IN NOVA SCOTIA by Brian Cuthbertson Ph.D., Historical Researcher THE ORIGIN OF REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT Mi’kmaw Territory At first European contact around 1500, the traditional Mi’kmaw territory ran from Cape Breton Island through mainland Nova Scotia, all of New Brunswick east of the Saint John River and north to the Gaspé Peninsula. For much of the year the Mi’kmaw relied on marine life while going inland during the winter months to hunt. The pre-contact population, generally estimated at 15,000, was soon decimated by epidemics of European imported diseases. During the “great dying” the Mi’kmaw suffered a mortality rate between 75 and 90 percent. French Acadia Although throughout the 16th century, the Mi’kmaw had seasonal contact with French and Portuguese fishermen, it was not until the founding of Port-Royal Habitation in 1605 that the French became permanent settlers. Good relations developed between the French and the Mi’kmaw and especially with their great chief Membertou. There was inter-marriage and the developing trade in furs for European goods provided a living for the few French who resided permanently in Acadia. By 1650, there were between 45 and 50 households at Port-Royal engaged in agriculture and the dyking of salt marshes had become the accepted practice. Since the first French and English settlements, there had been imperial rivalry. The English had attacked Port-Royal three times. In 1654, England gained possession of Acadia and would retain it until 1670. However, there was only nominal English rule and no attempt at English settlement, though a considerable trade grew up between Acadia and New England.
