The Tower family came to NOVA SCOTIA in 1761. In 1784 NEW BRUNSWICK was created from Nova Scotia and the place where the Towers lived was on the NB side of the border, but in 1761 they were not 2 separate provinces. In fact they weren't provinces at all. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were not part of CANADA until 1867. This seems to be confusing for some people.
