Biography

George Henry Collicut was born in 1730 in Dorchester, Norfolk, Massachusetts.^[1] He was the son of Thomas and Margaret Colicut. He emigrated from New England to Nova Scotia in 1750, appearing in a list of new settlers who received supplies in Halifax in May-June of that year.^[2] His father appears on another list in Halifax at the same time.^[3] George settled in Chester Township, Lunenburg County, in 1750.^[4]

On November 7, 1760, George married Elizabeth Hoagg in St. Paul's Church in Halifax.^[5] After his arrival in Chester, George and the Collicutts appear in the records there a number of times: in baptismal records,^[6] land grants,^[7] a 1783 census,^[8] and a 1791 poll tax roll which lists George as the master of a vessel.^[9] Note that the final two appearances of George Collicut in archival records conflict with the death date which appears on Find A Grave, which states that he died in 1777 and was buried in the crypt of St. John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg.^[10]
