ETHNICITY, Pictou Co., mid 1800s

Classification: Query
Surnames: BOWEN, TURNER, TUCKER
Can anyone tell me what the ethnicity/origin of people was that were in Pictou Co., 1840-1880 when my Bowen family appeared to have lived there? I recall from the Census that there were a # of Scots there. I don't know if my John Bowen/Jane Turner were literate, so can't be certain that they actually wrote the surname was "Bowen" however that is the way it is used for the two known daughters who lived and died in Mass.

What was the state church at this time? Was there one? Any thoughts, clues or links to further resources would be welcomed. Thank you!
