NOTABLE LINEAGES

Several of my cousins have pointed out recently that we have royal descents. I usually don't pay much attention to them as they usually indicate errors or fraudulent lineages that will eventually be corrected.

However, in the table below, I've indicated which lines may have royal or noble lineages. I've marks these lines with "*". Many lines extend to Puritans so I won't mark them. There are connections to several US presidents and Prime Ministers and most signers of the Magna Carta. These are not marked. My brother Jeff has a list of more recent notable relatives on his profile.

There is now a Mayflower connection. The identity of Nem Cone has now been proven and she is Naomi Rowley, a descendant of Mathew Fuller. His step father is Mayflower passenger Edward Fuller and his mother's name is not known but she was a Mayflower passenger.

No warranty is expressed or implied.

IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS TO CANADA

These maps show where my immigrant ancestors came from. In green are where they were born, not always the same as the place they immigrated from. In red are where they died. See the table below for details.

Note that many of the destinations were to present day New Brunswick. If the migration took place before 1784, then I call it Nova Scotia. None of these were technically in Canada as this was all pre-confederation. The most recent immigrants were Thomas and Sarah Smith from Bermuda in 1861.

The migrations I mention need a little explanation.

  • Planter: For the most part, these are New Englanders that migrated to Nova Scotia in the post Acadian period of 1760-1775. Some are Irish or German that simply passed through New England after a brief stay. Planters also include people directly from Europe in the 1749 to 1760 period.
  • Irish: These would be immigrants directly from Ireland and mostly took place in the 1820s. They didn't all move for the same reasons but are part of a larger movement from Ireland to North America caused by English policy affecting the Irish ability to survive in their own land. My own Irish ancestors all came from Norther Ireland and all have roots in Scotland, probably the result of earlier clearances.
  • Scottish Clearances: These migrants came as the result of tenants being less valuable than sheep. Most happened in a specific time period very similar to the Irish.
  • Missionary: This refers specifically to Thomas and Sarah Smith who came from Bermuda to do missionary work in Nova Scotia and they retired in Truro.
  • Loyalist: These would be loyal Americans that came to Canada once the war was lost. Typically this migration peaked in 1783. My Loyalist ancestors were all from Westhester, NY and likely were all in Delancy's Brigade which settle in Nova Scotia.
  • Yorkshire: A subset of the Planters, these came as a distinct group direct from Yorkshire to Chignecto, mostly around 1775.

Also, note that some Planter immigrants and some of their children died back in New England. (Ward, Salisbury, Maxwell, Tower, Ayer, etc.) Loyalism works both ways, although some may have just been homesick. Luckily they all left at least one child behind.
