I live in Nova Scotia in Yarmouth Co. with the great-grandson of George Edward Duncanson born in Horton,Kings Co, Nova Scotia, son of the James Duncanson and Martha Coldwell in question. My info has James born 31 January,1812 although bible records show a different birthdate. He was a farmer in Aylesford,NS in the census of 1838. He was married to Martha Coldwell/Caldwell first and had three children, George Edward,Elizabeth, and Frederick. he then married Emily Banks,dau. of Moses Banks and Olive (Morton) Banks. They and had three more children,Abraham Lincoln, Charles ,and Minnie Lillian. Abraham moved to Portland ,Maine, Frederick to St. John, New Brunswick, and George Edward to Tusket, Nova Scotia. George Edward had 6 children by two marriages of which my spouses grandfather was one. His grandfather worked in a logging camp in Maine at one time and had visited A.L.Duncanson.If anyone out there is still searching maybe this will help. I also can't seem to find out where in Scotland first James who came to NS, actually came from,since he had originally planned on settling in a Scottish Colony in North Carolina and had only stayed in NS after the ship that he, Isabella and two of their children were sailing on was in danger of sinking. Perhaps he sailed under a different name as it is possible he was fleeing Scotland because of the fighting going on around that time. Anyone with other info..would like to hear from you.
