SCOTT, John Gilmore (I3145)
 
2353 In the 1801 Chortitza Colony Census he is listed at Neuenburg #21 and in the 1802 Census at Neuenburg #11. He was mayor of Neuenberg in 1801. MARTENS, Johann (I1634)
 
2354 In the 1838 census he was listed with3 females aged 6 - 143 males over 143 females over 14 Source (S169)
 
2355 In the 1838 census she is listed as female 6-14 living with her mother Rebecca Berry and infant sister Mary.
In the 1871 census she is listed as 'COONILUS, Matilda', but this is a transcription error. It should be 'COOMBES'. She was living with her mother, Rebecca Coombes who had married Jamees Coombes in 1858..
In the 1881 census, lists her ethnic origin as 'Irish', her religion as C. Presbyterian. 52 years old. Living with Malinda CARTER, a widow, African, 80 years old, a Baptist.
District 18 Sub-district C, Division 1, Household Number 72.
In the 1911 census, she is living as one of many boarders in the home of Alice Flemming, Windsor. It states on this census that her birthplace was Cumberland so Rebecca must have had her before moving to Windsor.
Matilda never married. She was listed as a 'cane worker' on her death record. Place of birth (Newport) is according to her death record.

Since we don't really know who Matilda's father was, could it be that this is the missing link in the 'Mi'qmak' stories? Maybe Matilda's father was native. Matilda was listed as a 'cane worker' on her death record. This may also point to a native background. 
BERRY, Matilda (I2228)

2360 In the 1851 census Sarah gives her birthplace as Catterick.I don't know why she consistently gives her year of birth in all the censuses as 1811! This would have made her only 15 at her marriage in 1826. Source (S1207)
 
2361 In the 1851 census William's birthplace is given as Danby Wiske. This is interesting because on Sarah's baptism record it gives 'Streetham' as the place of residence of her parents, which is obviously a misspelling of 'Streetlam' which is less than 2 miles from Danby Wiske. Source (S1209)

2392 In the list of Loyalists disbanded in 1784 in Digby was James Ward listed with a household of 5 persons. 1 man, 1 woman, 1 child over 10, 2 children under 10.
He built a house at Trout Cove, Centreville, Digby County, Nova Scotia. Following is an article about it:
Located in Centreville, Ward House is the oldest heritage property in the Municipality of Digby. The original house was made of stone and brick. A wooden addition and rear ell were added at an unknown date. Both the building and the surrounding property are included in the heritage designation.
Heritage Value

The Ward House, also known as the Gasch House, is valued for its age, history, and its association with the Ward and Gasch families. The house was built circa 1794 for Loyalist James Ward and it has had only three owners. In the mid-1800s the attic of this home housed the bodies of the men that washed ashore after the shipwreck of the ``Ocean Queen.´´ They were kept here until they could be buried in the spring. The Ward family owned this home until 1919 and then was operated as the popular Way Over Inn. Presently the Ward House is owned by the Gasch family.
The Ward House is also valued for its architecture. The original section of the Ward House was made of locally made brick and is the only registered heritage property in the municipality that is made of brick. The bricks were laid on a clearly visible stone foundation. It has a unique appearance, as a wooden addition was added at an unknown date that roughly mirrors the layout of the original brick section. The house retains many of its original exterior and interior features.

2393 In the marriage register most of the other grooms were weavers, combers, etc. probably involved in the flax business. John, however, is called a corndealer. But the fact that he came from a flax industry area shows this must be the right John Frankland and Sarah.On the other hand, the age at marriage of both of them is 19 putting their birth year as 1791 whereas in the 1841 census they are both listed as 1781. Source (S2117)

2398 In the Parish burial records of Forcett there is a Ralph Ward of East Layton on July 31, 1658. (very close to Whashton where my Ralph Ward was a smelter)There was an Inquisition post mortem for him:Inquisitions post mortem were local inquiries into valuable properties, in order to discover what income and rights were due to the crown and who the heir should be.These inquiries took place when people were known or believed to have held lands of the crown, and therefore involved individuals of considerable wealth and status.

Mrs. Vaughan was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Smith, Kempt Shore, and her married life was spen at Newport and Windsor.
