Thanks, Dave for all the information on Pride, Hines, Rood and Drake.It certainly helps!
I too have wondered about some of the names and dates. I guess it's not surprising that errors crept into the records over the years.
It will take me some time to digest all the info about the Prides so I will delay responding on them just for a bit. But, a few questions about the others:
Regarding the Hurst family of Guysborough, my research gave me Priscilla Hurst (who m John Drake) as daughter of Thomas Hurst, born England, of Indian Harbor and his wife Jane Kennedy possibly born Scotland or her parents were.The 1838 census shows them with 5 girls and 2 boys.I have taken it that Thomas had no connection with the Samuel Hurst, loyalist who was granted lands in Guysborough, because his list of descendants I found in a book at the library, are so different.Do you concur they had no connection?
I am also looking for the parents of James Burke and Caroline Hudson or Hodgson of Drumhead.They probably married around 1860 and their children included: Lucinda, b1862 who married Elisha Pride Hinds, Molinda, Effie, Genevra, Mary and possibly a Clarence. Could they be descendants of loyalist Richard Burke of Pennsylvania who received 100 acred in Guysboro in 1785.The 1838 census lists a number of Burk/e/s in Indian Harbor and thatmight have included James' father but was he Amis, Joseph, Ai, Aron, William or another?
Also, I think I know who Margaret Rood Drake's father was, not Jacob but Acus, one of the first settlers at Indian Harbor.I found her listed as an heir of Acus who died before July 1873.The other heirs are listed as Elijah and James Rood.Did Acus marry Amy Mills?
Again, many thanks for your contribution.I enjoyed the bit about all the Herules and Archelaus folks in the Pride line.Some of their descendants may be losing sleep over that one! Hope it all helps others besides me.Dot
