ALEXANDER – Elyda, Cumberland County, NS Submitted by Valerie Deveau4/2004
I am looking for information on Elyda Alexander, wife of John L. Fowler of Amherst N.S. (or area surrounding) She was my grandmother. She is a direct descendant of Rebecca Jane Yorke and had a younger sister named Bessie. I was informed a number of years ago that there was a book on the Yorke Family which could give me some information, but I have yet been able to track one down. Elyda had 13(?) children and passed away sometime in the 1950′s. in the Stellerton area maybe. Can anyone help me with finding this book perhaps?
Thanks to all

AMOS / ANDERSON / LATTA / McMORRIS / WOOD
I am researching Joseph Latta and his descendants on my husband’s side of the family. Joseph was born about 1798 in Ireland, likely St. Johnston near Ardagh, and died in 1874 at River Hebert. He likely was in Nova Scotia by 1820. He married Elizabeth McMorris or Morris (1811 – 1844), who came with her parents to Cumberland County in 1817. Joseph and Elizabeth had four children: Abraham (1835 – 1919) who married Diana Wood, Matthew (abt. 1838 – 1864), Elizabeth (1840 – 1920) who married Thomas Edward Anderson of Sackville about 1861, and Jane (abt. 1844 – 1882) who married David Amos. Most of the Lattas in earlier times were in the River Hebert region.
