Hello Lukas - Thank you for responding to my posting. I've been able to collect a fair bit of data on this family group. I've pasted in what I have on the family of Mary Eliza Tupper's parents. I don't know if it will add anything to your records. Of course if you have more I would be more then pleased to share. Bye for now - Helen

Rev J. H. Tupper was born in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, Feb 8th 1808; and died in Queensbury, N.B., July 27, 1892, at the advanced age of 84 years. He was converted in 1828 but did not enter the Gospel Ministry till some years later. He was ordained at Jacksontown, N. B. in 1844, and remained their pastor for several years, during which time his labors were greatly blessed. Subsequently he held pastorates in a number of churches in New Brunswick, in all of which the blessing of God rested upon his ministry. Besides holding pastorates in so many churches he was a sort of independant general Missionary, visiting many of the pastorless churches and often going where there was no organization, and in some instances succeeded in establishing a church. His ministerial life continued through a term of about 50 years, during more than 40 of which he was in active service. He loved the work, and when old age and infirmity pressed heavily upon him, it was with reluctance he laid aside his loved employ. "He was a good man, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith," and through his labors "much people were added to the Lord." - (The Baptist Yearbook of the Maritime Provinces (1892) page 94)
