  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  This profile and those of my siblings and parents were created by M.Nason with information taken from the book listed below. Thanks Mark for the hard work you put into this.

  When browsing what I have added to this site (over 500 profiles so far) you may see comments such as "Unsourced family tree handed down to Stuart Ward." In fact, that is just an easy way out of not listing all my sources. In the 80s and 90s I created much of my database using myriad of resources but in large part from sharing resources with people like Robert Nelson Ward and his father the late Hap Ward, Doug Ayer^[1] and the late historian, Jim Snowden. I don't always credit them in my pages but please know that their help was extensive and appreciated. Without their help, this would have been much harder. I also want to thank my brother Jeff Ward who often adds flesh to the bone through his own research and also acts as my memory when mine gives out. He also provided most of the pictures that I've put up.

  IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS TO CANADA

  The biggest mysteries on this list are Rebecca Wilson Maxwell, Nancy Goff, Nem Cone, Catherine MacFarland and Catherine Purdy, and of course, Wesley Scott and the wives of Michael and John Lutes..

  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 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 affect the Irish ability to survive in their own land.
  • 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 soecifically 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.
  • Yorkshire: A subset of the Planters, these came as a distinct group direct from Yorkshire to Chignecto, mostly n 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.

  Coats of Arms

  These are not family specific and there is no one in my family tree that has a personal Coat of Arms except for ancient ancestors, however, following are the ones I'm using for background images for profiles. I only use these when a Tartan doesn't exist. For my own background I use the Nova Scotia Coat of Arms which is also displayed on my profile.
