GOW – Mary Ann, b. 1803, d. 1876, Lakelands, Cumberland County, NS
Submitted by Colleen Rector Feb-16

Interested in Mary Ann Gow (Gough), b. 1803 d. 1876, Lakelands, Cumb Co., NS – I believe this is the lady married to Robert Rector, and mother to my great-grandfather, Gilbert Gow (Gough) Rector, whose son was Burton Gilbert Rector, who had my Dad, Herbert Borden Rector (who went by Borden or Bordie). Doing up the family tree, so any more info you may have on Mary Ann Gough would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Colleen Rector

GREENFIELD – James, County Down, N. Ireland, c.1820 in Amherst, bur. River Hebert, NS
Submitted by Bev Sumpter Apr-01

Surnames that I’m researching are:
Wood, Samuel and his descendants…he is the Loyalist who was transported from Westchester Co., NY during the American Revolution along with his son Peter…Samuel is my 5 greats grandfather, and Peter my fourth…have a lot of information on this line down to the present…Samuel settled in Maccan and he is buried in the old Harrison Burying Ground in Maccan…

Greenfield, James and his descendants…he is an immigrant from County Down, Northern Ireland and arrived in Cumberland Co. in 1820 where he petitioned the crown for land for himself, his wife Jane, and his three children…he lived in River Hebert, and in Amherst…he is buried in Trinity United Cemetery in River Hebert…

Dunn, John William was a British clerk in the army, he spent time at Gibraltar along with his wife Eleanor (Taylor), they arrived in the Chignecto area approx. 1790 and had two daughters, Eleanor F. Dunn who married Benjamin Wood of River Hebert, my 3 greats grandfather, and a daughter Jane Elisabeth Dunn who married James Jenks…both Benjamin and Eleanor are buried in Hillside Cemetery in River Hebert, not sure where John and Eleanor Dunn are buried but at the time that both daughters were married the marriage record shows them living in Amherst, NS…1812 and 1814…in a petition that Eleanor Taylor Dunn makes to the Government of NB…Parish of Westmorland, she states that she is owed monies for teaching the previous term and that she is a widow of advanced age, and that her husband had mustered out of the army upwards of thirty years ago…the petition is dated March 1828…

Henwood, Elijah, his son Jeremiah and Charlotte Menard Henwood …cumberland co… and I would go with whatever Norma Day has as dates and places…we have shared and traded information in the past…

Coates, Thomas and his wife Ann Hood …both are buried in the Old Harrison Burying Ground…they are my five greats grandparents and their daughter Mary married Peter Wood in approx. 1786 and son Benjamin was born 3/1787…
Have a lot of information on all of my lines and am willing to share with anyone who would like to learn more about their lines…also have a lot of lateral information on these lines…
Take care…
