    Colwell

     
    I'm looking for any information related to David Newton Colwell. I know he was born in Hillsborough around the year 1881. The only information I have regarding his parents is that their names were James and Susan. He moved to Springhill, Nova Scotia sometime before 1910, which is the year he married Margaret Hamilton Fraser, born in Edinburgh, Scotland around 1885. They had a son named James Cecil Colwell in 1915. I'm not sure if they had any other children. He was also a miner. Any info is appreciated; my email is maryjeancolwell@gmail.com, thanks. Added Feb. 20, 2010


    COLWELL- I am looking for information on George W. Colwell and his wife Ellen Jane. Their son James William, my Grandfather, was born in Canada on 2/19/1876 but I am not sure that it was in Albert County. James' marriage certificate lists Elgin as the city where his father George was born. George's occupation is listed as a Tanner. By the time that James married, he was living in Rib Lake, WI, USA. Any help would be most appreciated.   Thanks, Joan Colwell Stevenson

    CANNON. I am in search of information on the Cannon / Canning surname in Albert County. I have a good start but am lacking in links to Charles Cannon/Canning who came to this area of New Brunswick from Falmouth, Nova Scotia about 1793 to start the surname here. Who did he marry? Did he have issue? Most of this surname have probably moved on to the larger centers of Moncton etc., but there are probably some in Albert County yet. I would appreciate any help you have to offer.

    CALHOUNS. I would, however, be happy to offer assistance to any visitors to the web site who might be interested in the Calhouns of Albert County. Thomas Calhoun was born 1735 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the son of John Cohoon, an immigrant from County Donegal, Ireland about 1714.

    Thomas Calhoun was a licensed Indian Trader
    on the western frontier in 1760 with a trading post near Tuscarawas in present day
    Ohio. He was closely associated with Fort Pitt and the Army officers who served in that region.

    In 1765, Thomas went to
    Cumberland County, Nova Scotia to manage a large land grant along the south bank of the Petitcodiac River in what is now Albert County, New Brunswick. He married Rachael Peck, daughter of Abiel Peck there in 1768. Thomas and Rachael are the progenitors of hundreds of Calhoun descendants, some of whom still reside in Albert and Westmorland Counties.

    In 1772, Thomas, along with one of his brothers, one of his wife's brothers, and a couple others were drowned while loading a boat with grindstones from
    Grindstone Island near the mouth of the Shepody River. Thomas is buried in Riverside Cemetery, just north of Riverside-Albert within view of Grindstone Island.

    I wrote a book about the Ancestors and Descendants of Thomas Calhoun in 1994 and have continued to compile information about this fascinating family.

    I would be happy to offer assistance to anyone researching this Calhoun family.

    Thanks.

    COOK. Requesting any information or suggestions re: William H. Cook 1844 - 1919 born and buried in Moncton according to death record I obtained from August ME. His father is listed as Alexander Cook - mother M. Durrrr (Dunn -maybe) both from England. Date of Burial August 14, 1919. Date of Death Aug. 12, 1919 in Caribou, Maine. My great grandfather was a William H. Cook married (I think) to Margaret Seeley in Easton, Maine. I found an 1880 Census which listed both of them in Easton along with children. My great grandmother is buried in Fort Fairfield, Maine - Margaret Seeley Cook. My Mom said William H. was buried next to his first wife (she thought he was born and buried in Nova Scotia). I have made two trips to Maine (Easton & Fort Fairfield) and checked all town records available.

    Thanks for any help.

Jonathan Copp (1749), David Copp (1752) and Olive Copp (1765) who married Thomas Kinnie.  Each of these three Copps spawned an extensive descendancy in the Copps and Kinnies of Albert and Westmorland Counties of New Brunswick and Maine..
