I'm still trying to make some Nova Scotia Connections. I have Virginia Smith's book on the Chester, Nova Scotia, Webbers and I think that my Webbers (based on Family lore) may be connected in earlier generations than those of Virginia's who went to Chester and possibly a connection of the North Carolina Webbers of German Descent who also migrated to Nova Scotia.
This is what I have..
Thomas Webber m. Mary Parker (England)
s/o Thomas, Samuel Webber m. Deborah Littlefield (of Wells, Maine)
another son of Thomas James Webber m. Patience Littlefield.
My line would be of Samuel and Deborah.
Their Children:
Samuel
Thomas
John
Benjamin
Deborah
Patience
Waitsill
Mary
Dorcus
Bathsheba (kidnapped by Idians and removed to Canada)
Joseph
We believe we are of Samuel, s/o Samuel and Deborah Webber who married Elizabeth Young (d/o of Rowland Young and Susannah Mathews).
Their children were:
Elizabeth
Samuel
Mary
Docus
Gersham
Bathsheba
Mercy
Abigail
Sarah
Nathaniel
Joseph (b.c. 1727)
Paul
All of York.
To further the line - Joseph (s/o Samuel and Susannah) married Elizabeth Johnson. We believe there was a family split regarding the Rev. war and that some of the Webbers in Maine moved to Nova Scotia - and would be cousins of Virginia Smith's Chester Basin Webbers.
Joseph and Elizabeth had a son - I don't know of any more children - this is from my family notes. Their sone was
James b.c. 1760 and married Mary Worseter in Nova Scotia - church records - All Saint's Anglican.
James and Mary had a number of children including Mary Webber who married Thomas Mussels in Granville Nova Scotia, 1805.
From there I am clear on my lines aside from a German Webber - Harriet Webber who married James Mussells (s/o of Thomas)
Harriet and James are the parents of my Great Great Grandmother - Maria Catherine Mussells b.c 1845 who later moved to Lynn mass. and married a Bennett who's family was from Maine - completing the circle.
I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of the Webber split and knows more about the Maine Webbers who went to Nova Scotia - particularily Annapolis and Granville. I've had correspondence with Virginia and my lines are not direct ones to hers, but I believe we are distant cousins.
thanks,
Karen
