Surnames: Vickery Ripley Yorke Holmes Canning Davison
Hi, I'm looking for information about Jonathan Vickery b 21 Aug 1769 in Falmouth who first moved to Parrsboro with several of his brothers and then to Diligent River. He married Hannah Allen b ca 1775. I have information on his parents, grandparents, etc. right up to a Mayflower ancestor but I'm trying to connect him to his children who were likely born in Parrsboro or Diligent River.

The children include Jonathan b 1796 m Jane Yorke, Amelia Jane 1797-1889 m James Canning, Christopher 1798, Ann 1805-1805, Fones 1806-1857 m. Eunice Matilda Holmes, Stephen 1809-1865 m Mary Cannon, Sarah Ann 1810 m Edward Davison, Rachel 1812-1882, and Rebecca 1818-1903.

I got the children's names from a tree on the web and all the spouses from that source have checked out but I have not been able to find confirmation that any of these are actually Jonathan Vickery's children. Rebecca was my gg grandmother. She married Robert Ripley of Maccan. Robert, Rebecca Vickery, and her sister Rachel Vickery are all buried in Michael Fortune Cemetery in Maccan so at least I know that Rebecca and Rachel were sisters. Robert and Rebecca named one of their sons Jonathan Vickery Ripley and a daughter Hannah so I think I'm on the right track but would love more conclusive evidence of her parentage. Thanks!!

are you a member of the cumberland list ie nscumbergroup? They have a PDF file on Parrsboro history, where the Vickery Family among others is recorded. I have a copy if you are not a member and can email it to you direct if you want to take a look. It may help to sort some of your questions re Jonathan Vickery. I have a few Vickery's in my database but not Jonathan, although I believe I may have a son Fones. I'm going to try and attach the file here but if it doesn't work, please advise. It's a PDF file so I guess it doesn't work here. email me direct: plane001@sympatico.ca

Hi, there are two death records for a Stephen Vickery -- both are for the same person. Both records state that his father was Jonathan Vickery while one gives his mother's name as Hannah. Death record for a Sarah Davison indicates parents as J? & Susanna Yorke but is reported by a Vickery Davison.
