LANK – Edward, d. ca.1800-1850, Land grant, Economy, Col. Co., NS
Submitted by Judith Graham Jan-02

On December 12th last,[2001] there was an obituary for the late June LANK of Parrsboro. I am interested in finding out who her great grandmother was. Her grandparents were Alfred W LANK b about 1856 Bass River and Margaret Ann Blair b about 1857 in North River. Alfred LANK’s parents were Robert Lank and Ellen _____? b about 1825.

I have reason to believe that this Ellen _____ might be Ellen CAMERON, daughter of Archibald Cameron and Jennet Hanning. Does anyone know if this is correct?

LATTA – Joseph, b. ca.1798, d. 1874, Ireland & River Hebert, Cumb Co., NS
Submitted by Leah Joys Apr-01

AMOS / ANDERSON / LATTA / McMORRIS / WOOD

I am researching Joseph Latta and his descendants on my husband’s side of the family. Joseph was born about 1798 in Ireland, likely St. Johnston near Ardagh, and died in 1874 at River Hebert. He likely was in Nova Scotia by 1820. He married Elizabeth McMorris or Morris (1811 – 1844), who came with her parents to Cumberland County in 1817. Joseph and Elizabeth had four children: Abraham (1835 – 1919) who married Diana Wood, Matthew (abt. 1838 – 1864), Elizabeth (1840 – 1920) who married Thomas Edward Anderson of Sackville about 1861, and Jane (abt. 1844 – 1882) who married David Amos. Most of the Lattas in earlier times were in the River Hebert region.

LEADBETTER – Peter, b. abt.1810, d. 1875, d. Pugwash, Cumb. Co., NS
Submitted by Jody Champlin Sep-08

Hi:
I am trying to locate information on Peter Leadbetter who died in 1875 at the age of 65, buried in Palmerston Cemetery, in Pugwash. We are trying to find out where he was born and who for certain his parents were. Peter’s wife was Susannah Worth from Cape Breton, daughter of Captain Benjamin Worth who came to Cape Breton from New Jersey and who was granted a land grant in Mabou, Cape Breton. The only information we have on Peter and Susannah is that in 1855 Peter purchased land in Pugwash from James Black. In 1864 Peter appears in one of the Newfoundland Directories for Harbor Grace where he is listed as a Carpenter. Several of Peter & Susannah’s children are listed as having been born in Newfoundland, but no birth records have yet to be found… I have not located any Leadbetter listed on any Loyalist list that I’ve found yet. I also have not been able to locate much from New Brunswick on any settlement being done in 1770 or there abouts. I have most of the information on who Peter & Susannah’s children were, I’m just trying to go back on Peter’s life to find out where he was born and who his parents were. We have a piece of unsubstantiated information that there was a Peter Leadbetter born in 1817, but I’ve never been able to prove this or figure out where the author of the book, “Leadbetter Records”, J.E. Ames came up with this information. Most of the early family information taking place in Boston from the 1600’s I can prove with no much trouble as the records are still available to do so.

What I am trying to do is to tie Peter Leadbetter back to who I believe was his Grandfather, Henry Leadbetter, who left Boston in August 1770, with his wife, Sarah Cumber, and their 3 children: Henry, Peter & Sarah. When this family left Boston, it is theorized they went to NS, NB or NF, but, I have found no trace of this family after they left Boston. Our theory is that the Peter who was born in 1810 would have been the son of the Peter who left Boston in 1770 with his 2 siblings and his parents. I have not been able to prove this in almost 30 years of trying. However, when I started in 1979 I had nothing, and now all I need to do is to fill in a gap of only about 40 years, or roughly one more generation…

If I had any idea of what area of Nova Scotia was being settled during the 1770 or any records I could check to verify the 1817 birth of a Peter Leadbetter in Antigonish, I’d be on it in a flash. I’ve run out of ideas. The only other information I have recently found was a listing that Peter Leadbetter owned quite a bit of property in Halifax. If this were true, what agency would I contact to try and locate any information on this?

Anyone with any thoughts or suggestions on how to break through this brick wall I’d really appreciate the help!

Sincerely,
Jody B. Champlin

Submitted By: Daughter: Linda Lewis

This is simply the beginning of my genealogical research of my family (mainly of my father’s ancestors and perhaps some of my sisters and brothers) whom I seem to know little about given the young age I left them (while living in Amherst Nova Scotia).

I originally tried to gather/research this information through the “proper” government office – Vital Statistics of Halifax, Nova Scotia and came up with very little information but many dollars spent.

Can you provide any assistance? Any sort of reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
