Just noticed that Amelia Brown's sister, Ellen A. married Edgar McLellan, s/o William and Lydia, and resided in Brookville.
Your Austin McLellan, 1866 - 1949, was son of Allen and Sophia, and they are buried in the Tennecape Cemetery.
Henry BROWN, called Wickery Henry, 1860 - 1947 Bramber, was married to Lorraine B. LAKE, d/o William and Mary.
Don't have much on the other Brown children - Margaret who married ....Taylor, Thomas, Annie, Enos.

I have two notebooks on misc BROWN families of NS as I am also searching a BROWN line in the Canning/Cornwallis area of Kings Co. They married into my Rand, Loomer and Colson families.
The Brown family in Hants Co. is not mine, but the second wife of Nathan is....I just don't know who she is other than Hannah C., wid/o Capt. Edward GALLEY who was drowned off Eastport ME and left two sons:
1. (mine) Edward (or Edmund A.) Galley, ca 1849, married Jannetta Proctor of Hants Co., moved to Medford MA. In 1871 he was a seaman in Kempt.
2. James GALLEY, remained in NS, b 18 Dec 1855/6 Eastport ME, d 7 May 1936 Tennycape, married Emma .....b 1 Oct 1863, d 11 Mar 1944, both bur United Church of Tennycape Cemetery.
I believe he had another wife and many children. I have them my Galley notebook if you need them.
3. Henry BROWN, called Wickery Henry was the eldest of Nathan's sons...be 12 Apr 1860, d 8 May 1947 Bramber, married 1885 Lorraine 'Rainey' B. LAKE, d/o William and Mary. She was born 1864, d 7 Nov 1952. They had 10 children: Orlan, Christina, Agnes, Dave, Andrew, Harry, Ralph, Alice, Ora and Percy. Hope this helps you. Mj

Hi, I wonder the same thing....also, at one time I wondered if Hannah was a WILCOX, but didn't find anything more about her. I know she is buried in Bramber Cem...have a photo of her headstone with Nathan Brown, but am hoping to find an obit for her to see if she had siblings or something that might give us a better clue.
Thanks for trying to help, I will keep searching. Mj

The death certificate for My Great Great Grandmother Amelia Alice (Brown) McLellan will be released by the end of January for public viewing since she died in 1956 her death certificate should be quite detailed, death certificates of her siblings implies that Hannah's maiden name is Brown born in Nova Scotia, I am hoping that Amelia's certificate will verify this for me. Do you know the parents of Nathan Brown? And James William Galley before he married Emma he had a first wife named Aletta I believe do you know anything about her? Also there is a local song made up about a Nathan Galley I belive he was James & Emma's son he was a bootlegger in Bramber and I will have to verify with my father but I think it was Nathan Galley that is not a true Galley I belive he was found by James in the Bay....shipwrecked and floating on a log as a child and he was raised as a Galley........does this ring any bells to you?

Surnames: Galley, King and Proctor from Hants Co., Brown, Loomer and Rand from Kings Co. NS
Back in 1976 I took a trip to NS with my son Scott who was 14 at the time, just learning to drive....we were on our way to PEI to meet the Colson/Coulson part of the family, and went to Canning area to find the Browns from Kings Co. and somewhere along the line asked about the Galleys only to have someone point to a house and say that is the Galley house. I think we were near Windsor somewhere, any way went to Cheverie, which my grandmother had mentioned visiting and being frightened by the sounds of the pigs getting stuck in the mud when the tide came in....her husband was supposedly from there, Charles Galley.
I was sent to meet some 'relatives', one being Nathan Galley, quite elderly and very talkative...he was son of James William Galley (1854 - 1936). He said James had married 1. Alnetta Henry, bur Kempt Shore, and 2. Emma Lake d/o Charles & Sophie, b 1 Oct 1853, d 11 Mar 1944, I think, children were Nathan, Amy, Esther, Howard, Allen, Alnetta, prob not in that order. Nathan married 1. Nellie Brown, ch: Meral, Everill, married 2nd Marie Coftis, child Dolly.
Henry Brown, s/o Nathan and Hannah C. (?), was born 1860 d 1947 Bramber, married Aunt Rainiy, Lorraine B. Harvie, 1864 - 1952, their ch: Andy, Dave, Harry, Ralph, Orland, Christina, Alice, Ora, Agnes, Percy.
About my ancestor Edward Galley, ca 1852 Eastport ME - 1923 Medford MA, he married Jannetta Proctor 1873, from Kempt, d/o Benjamin and Margaret (King) Proctor. he said "Edward went to the states when just a boy, James and Harry Brown went to sea on old sailing ships.
From Portland ME and Boston, Bramber used to be Selwood, then Brookville. Sellwood came from 'selling wood to Boston'. Emma Lake, d/o Capt Charles Lake had a sailing vessel, she had to cook at sea when a girl.
Alnetta Galley died age 93, 1 Jul 1976, m James William Crowell.
Andy Brown was a Capt of a Graceline ship in NYC, had a son Orland.
In my notes I show an Andrew Galley b 1820 NS with a wife b 1822 NS. There was also a Nathaniel Galley b 26 Dec 1831 who married Lista Tarr. (May have been in New England)
Our elusive Hannah was born in 1830/4, she died 30 Jan 1906, bur Bramber Cem. 2nd Husband, Nathan BROWN, 1824/6 died 12 Sep 1906 NS, bur Bramber Cem.
1901 C: Nathan Galley, 22 Oct 1893 NS, 2nd son, 4th child, worked in NY on a scow, lived in Bramber, in 1977 was at Bramber alone. Wives, Nellie Brown and Marie Coftus. 3 ch: Merle of Cheverie, Everill A/Evril/Iverill 1914 - 25 Dec 1945 died of TB, bur Bramber Cem; Vertal/Virtle.
On another sheet I have Nathaniel B. or R. Galley, 26 Dec 1831 Mount Desert, Hancock ME - , s/o John and Hannah (Richardson), married Lista Tarr.
I have James William Galley's death certificate, filled out by son ......., mother was Hannah Brown, father Andrew Galley, same as what you said. He was 83 y 4m 19d old, bur Bramber Cem.
In 1991 I corresponded with Donald Lawrence Crowell, s/o James and Alnetta Grace (Galley), said the Crowells were bur in Maplewood Cem, Alnetta died in Unity ME at his house, is bur in Windsor.
There was also a Guy Galley, Three Mile Plains, NS (no date), bro or half bro to Don Crowell.
About stories, Don Crowell wrote this in his letter (and it is very hard to read) from FL Nov 1991: You know that in the same village I think in Kentville NS it is written about the GAULIOUS (cannot read it) and CROWELLS - Shanee? (his note) or SHANCE? Crowell came over from England in the hole of a sailing vessel, a murderous drunk etc., the story goes the people of Plymouth MA ould not have him in its town so they drove him out into the woods, he doctored the people there also the Indians. A park on Cape Cod MA is named in his honor, this was in 1830? Park was dedicated 1943.
James William Crowell, 1883 - 1929 or 1934 Windsor, bur Maplewood Cem., was father of Don Crowell of Unity ME and Arcadia FL. He gave me more on the Crowells if you need it.

No, don't know Nathan Brown's parents....would an early census show him in Bramber??? Went thru all my notes, found nothing but his dates. Sorry.
Maybe some of his grandsons would still be alive?
My mother and one distant cousin of hers are the last of the Galleys that I know of and they didn't know much of the Nova Scotia lines, neither had been there.
Let me know if you turn up something...wonder if you know of a Hants Newspaper that might have printed the marriage or obits of Nathan and Hannah C. Brown.....if you find one please let me know. Thanks, Mary Jane

There was a query about a Nathan Galley and possibly ? Crowell, who were thrown out of Plymouth MA because they were colorful characters...would like to learn more of the story, but I found the Park named for them, just no history on it as yet, and cannot find the exact location on Google Earth as yet. It is the Shawnee-Crowell State Forest in Sandwich MA, right across the Bourne Canal from Plymouth.
Please let me know if there really was a Galley involved in this story. Thanks, M. J. Lewis
