Ruth Mcculloch & George William States Ruth McCulloch & George William States The marriage between Ruth McCulloch & George William States is of an interesting note. I point this marriage out because it is an inter-racial marriage. Nothing to note in our generation but, in 1855 when Ruth and George married, it sure was. Ruth was 40 years of age and George was a few years younger. George is listed in the 1871 census for Mt. Denison as being of African origin. There is no telling if he was an inter-racial child himself as the records either do not exist or are not accessible or online to find right now. Black slave history is not something many people like to talk about. There is still an element of racism that resides in Nova Scotia, there usually is where ever you go if you look. I wanted to ensure this is not over looked. Not all white people were slave owners and not all black or African people were slaves. The area where Ruth and George lived, Mt. Denison, was named after the Denison family who moved from New England. Robert Denison died with an inventory of 5 black slaves in 1765. While some might think George's family could be from this line, after speaking with David States, a family and life-long historian, (and my 5th cousin), I believe this States family were from a “free” line from New York area. There is some evidence, but not concrete, to confirm the theory that the States name may be attributed to a Dutch family called Statts. Sometimes Dutch families would indenture people of all races and genders, but these workers had entitlements and could earn their ‘freedom’ in a number of years in service. There are families with the Statts name in the area where Job States was from. A free born African American refugee, called Job States came from the Connecticut/New York area to Saint John, NB in 1783 as part of the loyalists leaving after the American Revolution. He then traveled to Parrsboro, Nova Scotia which, in 1813, is where James Lightbody and his brother-in-law, Hugh McCulloch, bought land. Job States had his family here. Special thanks is sent to David, W. States for providing the initial historical and family research and the photos of Ruth, George and their grandchildren so this family history can be provided. Job States is the Grandfather of George William States who married Ruth McCulloch.

Project Team Jason Googoo, Project Manager Rosalie Francis, Project Advisor Dave Moore, Author and Research Craig Hodder, Author and GIS Technician Andrea Moore, Research and Database Assistant Katy McEwan, MEKS Interviewer Mary Ellen Googoo, MEKS Interviewer Lawrence Wells Sr., MEKS traditionalist Prepared by: Reviewed by: ___________________ ____________________ Dave Moore, Author Jason Googoo, Manager i Executive Summary This Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Study, also commonly referred to as MEKS or a TEKS, was developed by Membertou Geomatics Consultants for the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd on behalf of the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE). In January 2008, the Province of Nova Scotia announced that Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co Ltd. had been awarded the opportunity to construct a tidal energy testing and research facility in the Minas Basin, known as the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Facility. This Facility will be managed by a non-profit corporation called FORCE. The objectives of this study are twofold; - to undertake a broad MEKS study for the Bay of Fundy Phase I Area as it may relate to future renewable energy projects i.e. wind, tidal and wave, specifically in Phase 1 area of the Bay of Fundy ( as identified in MGC Proposal - Minas Channel and Minas Basin), and - to undertake a more focused MEKS review specific to the Fundy Tidal Energy Demonstration Project area which would consider the land and water area potentially affected by the project, identify what is the Mi’kmaq traditional use activity that has or is currently taking place within the Project Site and Study Area and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the Project Site and Study Area.
