I seek any information on the Edward York family that came to Falmouth Nova Scotia from Rhode Island about 1760's. He was married to Mary Fones and several of his children were born in Nova Scotia.

Edward York was the son of James York and Elizabeth Case. Edward was one of the original Proprietors of Falmouth. Edward's brother James a Newport grantee.
I have some info. on their ancestors. If you want, I can take out report from my db and sent it to you. Email me direct.
Do you known of any relationship of Edward and his decendants and the York(e)s' of Parrsboro, Cumberland County.
Regards
Jeff V

Hi....realize that a few years have passed since you posted the query about the York(e) family from Falmouth. My maternal lineage is throughout Nova Scotia and Edward Yorke and Mary Fones are two of my ancestors. Their son, Fones Yorke (born 31 August 1762) married a Susanna Maria Vickery (born 18 June 1774) and they settled in Parrsborro, NS.
Their children: Edward (born 1800) married Anny Nancy Hatfield Stephen married Fanny Richards (Pritchard) December 1832 Daniel married Mary Salter James married Rebecca Vickery Mary ***** (this is my Mary...see note below) Jane married Jonathan Vickery 17 Dec 1829 Sarah married Vickery Davison 16 November 1844 Amelia Eliza Ann Mercy married Nathan Holmes 20 January 1813
*****In our Redden Family, in the hand of my great grandmother, Harriette Elvira Bezanson, is recorded the following: George Lyons (born 25 November 1764/died 12 May 1830), married Mary Yorke (born after 1800/died 24 July 1856). The age difference is quite evident and so am questioning this even though she is recorded in our Bible.
Drop me a note if you are able....I have been working on my Nova Scotia lineage since 1992 and this is one area that I am trying to determine...thanks in advance, Ingeborg
