POLLEY – William, 1790 in River Philip, Cumb. Co., NS
Submitted by Carol Dobson Apr-01

I’m trying to find information on the Polly/Polley/Pauley family who came to Onslow in the 1760s. By 1790, William Polley was living in River Philip. I’m also trying to determine the father of Lemuel Polley who would have been, I surmise, a son/nephew/grandson/great-nephew of William.

Submitted by Jim Brown Aug-03

I am trying to find the genealogical records for a David Pugsley who died in 1841 in Maccan and married Elizabeth Ripley b.1767 d.1841 in Maccan. I have tried Ancestry.com and others but can’t see to go any further back. He is my great great great great grandfather. I live in Westchester Co. New York where there is listed a David Pugsley son of John and brother to John. The family lived in Courtland Manor (Peekskill) NY and fled to Cumberland,Nova Scotia during the Revolution. I am trying to see if there is a connection between the families. If you can help me out, I would be very grateful,
