The Fisher Families of Truro, Stewiacke and Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia Fisher Family Descendancy Report The Fisher Families of Truro, Stewiacke and Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia Prepared by H. Douglas Goff 7748 Wellington Rd. 22 Guelph, ON N1H 6J2 goff.doug at gmail.com www.gofffamilyhistory.ca (a descendant of Eddy Whidden and Sarah Fisher (#69), d/o Samuel Fisher (#17) and Mary Tupper) Nov. 12, 2020 William James Fisher (#3) and his nephew Samuel Fisher (#17) both emigrated from New Hampshire to Truro, William in 1762, Samuel in 1767 with his half- sister Janet (Fisher) Archibald. Their families established some of the original pioneering families in both the Stewiacke and Musquodoboit Valley’s. Please note that this is not a complete genealogy! I have borrowed heavily from already- published sources, so I am just putting it out there for the benefit of anyone who finds it. It will be a work-in-progress. Where possible, I have truncated it and referred to other of my published reports (website above). Corrections or additions are always welcome! Index, page 211. Major Sources 1.

James Fisher, son of James Fisher (1611-) & Elizabeth (abt 1611-). Born in 1636 in Glen of Antrim, Ireland. James died in Londonderry, Ireland. Occupation: Weaver of Fine Irish Linen. Religion: Saint Columb’s Church of Ireland, Londonderry. Residence: Queen St. (Now Bishop St.), Londonderry, Ireland. James’ father came from Ayrshire Scotland to Glen of Antrim, Ireland. Baptismal dates of James and Jennet Fisher's 12 children from Saint Columb's Church of Ireland Cathedral, Londonderry, in the following order: Child's Name Baptismal Date Elizabeth 10 September 1661 John 24 October 1662 Kathren 09 October 1663 James 22 November 1664 Margrat 08 September 1665 Mary 04 December 1666 William 04 December 1666 Samuel 23 February 1668 Rebeca 30 May 1669 James 06 August 1670 Mathew 20 June 1671 John 06 December 1675 It is interesting to note that there are two Johns and two James. We are reasonably assured that the father of William James and Samuel, John Fisher, was the youngest child of James and Jennet. I can only assume that the older John and James may have died young. From the Hearth Money Rolls of 1663, a tax for every hearth or fireplace in Londonderry at the time, James Fisher is recorded as living on Queen Street, which is now known as Bishop Street, not far from the church which recorded his children's baptisms.

Page 3 Fisher Family Descendancy Report Third Generation -------------------------------------------------- Family of John Fisher (2) & Sarah * 3. William James Fisher (John2, James1). Born in 1716 in Londonderry, Ireland. William James died in Truro, Colchester Co., NS, on 6 Jun 1777; he was 61. Occupation: NS House of Assembly, Rep For Truro (1770-1775). Residence: Hew Hampshire (1743), Truro (1762). William Fisher was among the early settlers of Truro, arriving from New Hampshire with the Archibald’s and others in December, 1762. He was a Grantee of the Township. He was the first Town Clerk of Truro after it was settled by the British. He was one of the seven elders of the Church who were elected in the summer of 1770. He took his seat in the House of Assembly June 6, 1770, and represented Truro five years. He resided on the interval of Salmon River (Miller). Most of this family migrated to the Musquodoboit Valley or the Stewiacke Valley. In 1743 when William James was 27, he married Eleanor Archibald, daughter of John Archibald (1671-10 Aug 1751) & Margaret Wilson (?) (abt 1678-abt 1735). Born on 25 Jun 1724 in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Eleanor died in Musquodoboit, NS. They had the following children: 5 i. John (4 Mar 1744-2 Mar 1818) 6 ii. James (1746-1812) 7 iii.

Alexander McNutt (2 Jul 1765-) 14 xii. Eleanor (23 Aug 1767-1792) 4. Deacon Samuel Fisher (John2, James1). Born on 24 May 1722 in Londonderry, Ireland. Deacon Samuel died in Londonderry, NH, on 10 Apr 1806; he was 83. Buried in Forest Hill Cemetery, Londerry. Residence: Roxbury, MA (1740), Londonderry, NH (Ca1742). Occupation: Linen Weaver, Farmer. Deacon Samuel Fisher was born in the North of Ireland, of Scottish descent. His father was a weaver. He came to America in 1740, aged 19. The ship in which he came was usually spoken of as the "Starved ship". The vessel was * The Nova Scotia immigrant. Page 4 Fisher Family Descendancy Report so scantily supplied with provisions that, long before the voyage was completed, one pint of oatmeal for each individual on board, and a proportionate allowance of water, was all that remained. Mr. Fisher once went to the mate with a tablespoon to obtain some water, which was refused him, there being but two-thirds of a bottle-ful on board. Mr. Fisher's customs was to take a spoonful of meal and having moistened it with salt water, to eat it raw. The passengers and crew, having subsisted in this manner for 14 days, were at length reduced to the necessity of eating the bodies of those who died. Even this resource failed them; and at length, Mr. Fisher was selected to give up his life to preserve the lives of the rest. Providentially, however, a vessel hove in sight; and their signals of distress being observed, they obtained relief, and he ws saved. So deep an impression did the horrors of that passage make upon the mind of Mr. Fisher that, in after life, he could never see, without pain, the least morsel of food wasted, or a pail of water thrown on the ground carelessly. On his arrival in this country, he was bound by the Captain to a man in Roxbury for the payment of his passage. He came to Londonderry, NH, about one or two years after, and became a member of the family of Mr.

Silas Tertius Rand, a Baptist missionary who traveled among the Mi’kmaq in the mid- to late-1800s, documented their stories featuring the heroic Glooscap. He “lived like other men ... but he never died, never was sick, never grew old,” wrote Rand. “He could do anything and everything.” Traveling RVers can learn more about Mi’kmaq myths and culture, and stand — dwarfed — beneath the demigod’s towering bronze likeness, at the Glooscap Heritage Centre, less than 5 miles from Truro in Millbrook.

  • Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE Faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada
    Probable Middle Carboniferous NW-SE faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley, Nova Scotia, Canada HOWARD V. DONOHOE JR.1, HEATHER J. CROSS2, AND PAUL BATSON3 1. Department of Geology, Saint Mary’s University, 923 Robie Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 3C3, Canada <[email protected]> 2. Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada 3. APGNS, P.O. Box 91, Main Stn, Enfield, Nova Scotia B2T 1C6, Canada The search for potable groundwater has led to more information about post-Early Carboniferous NW-SE faulting in the Musquodoboit Valley. Scouts Canada’s Camp Nedooae located several kilometres north of Elderbank, Nova Scotia, needed several wells for an additional water source. Previous geological maps of the area do not suggest NW-SE faulting. The Valley in this location has a relatively thick cover of till and very few outcrops so knowledge of the bedrock is based on extrapolation from limited outcrops and relatively uncomplicated structure. The camp location was thought to be near a Goldenville Group basement high just to the north. Gently south- dipping Windsor Group shale, evaporite and limestone lie unconformably on the older rocks. Instead of finding the base of the Windsor Group and the unconformity, the first well (east block), 0.5 km southeast of Brown Lake was collared in Goldenville Group. The second well, 0.6 km west, was collared in gypsum and bottomed in limestone/dolostone with interlayers of gypsum. No fossils fragments were found anywhere in the well cuttings. We now surmise that the east block moved up and the west block moved down. With this knowledge of the bedrock and some topographic trends, we now believe NW-SE faulting has played a greater role in rock distribution in the Valley.

  • Aims 6Th Annual High School Report Card (Rc6)
    AIMS 6TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL REPORT CARD (RC6) Nova Scotia High Schools Two years ago, a ruling by Nova Scotia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Review Officer confirmed that the release of student achievement data was in the public interest. However, AIMS is still not able to report locally assigned exam grades or attendance in Nova Scotia schools, as some boards are still not able to access this information or simply refuse to do so. Following the closing of Queen Elizabeth High School in Halifax, last year’s top ranked school, we were assured a new school at the top of the rankings. Cape Breton Highlands Academy in Terre Noire jumped from third place in RC5 to take over the number one spot in the province, maintaining an ‘A-’ grade. Cape Breton Highlands was the only school in Nova Scotia to achieve an ‘A’ grade, with Charles P. Allen in Bedford also maintaining its ‘B+’ grade from last year to claim second spot in the rankings. Dalbrae Academy in Southwest Mabou saw its grade drop from an ‘A-’ to a ‘B+’ but still finished third overall. Several schools saw improvements of two grade levels. Rankin School of the Narrows and Pictou Academy-Dr. T. McCulloch School both improved from a ‘C+’ to a ‘B’ and finished eighth and ninth overall, respectively. Canso Academy (‘C’ to ‘B-’) and Annapolis West Education Centre (‘C’ to ‘B-’) also improved by two grade levels. Springhill Junior-Senior High School was the only school to see its grade decline more than two levels, falling from a ‘B-’ to a ‘C-’.

    Travel to Wolfville and Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada, to collect Vaccinium and Related Ericaceae for USDA Plant Exploration Grant 2012 Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia AAFC Kentville, Nova Scotia Kim Hummer, Research Leader USDA ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository, Corvallis, Oregon Location and Dates of Travel Wolfville and Kentville, Nova Scotia, Canada 15 July through 20 July 20102 Objectives: To obtain cuttings/ propagules of the Vaccinium collections of Dr. Sam Vander Kloet, Professor Emeritus at Acadia University, Kentville, Nova Scotia. Executive Summary During 15 through 20 July 2012, I traveled to Nova Scotia to obtain plant material that Dr. Sam Vander Kloet, Emeritus Professor at Acadia University had obtained during his life. Acadia University Conservatory, Wolfville, had about 100 accessions of subtropical Vaccinium (blueberry) and related genera. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada had about 90 accessions of native North American Vaccinium in their field collections. On Monday 16 July through Wednesday 18 July 2012, I worked at the Herbarium and Conservatory of Acadia University working with Ruth Newell, the Curator. From Wednesday afternoon through Thursday, I worked with Dr. Andrew Jamieson, Small fruit Breeder and Geneticist, Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada. I obtained a total of 654 root and stem cuttings of the following genera: Cavendishia (62), Ceratostemma (7), Costera (1), Diogenesia (9), Disterigma (10), Macleania (25), Pernettya (13), Psammisia (7), Spyrospermum (7), and Vaccinium (513). I also obtained two accessions of seed including Vaccinium boreale (1000 count) and Fragaria vesca subsp. alba (2000 count). I obtained a Canadian phytosanitary certificate and had USDA APHIS permits and letters to bring in the Vaccinium and permissible nurserystock.
