Searching for parents of Catherine BROWN born abt 1774 who married George EDWARDS 1785. Witness was John Dempsey both men were of Windsor HANTS COUNTY and both left their mark. I have found:

- James & Joseph Brown, George Edwards & John Dempsey all on early Poll tax census from 1791 to 1795

- George Edwards: old grant record book #17 p 62 George Edwards & 10 others late of 22nd regiment given total of 1500 acres in Hants N.S Petit Rivir (WALTON RIVER). George Edwards (lieutenant) in the Province for 7 years. His father(Thomas) is an old habitant of the Province

- Son John Edwards: Found long military record paylist for John Edwards (future soldier) born 1794 Middleton House HANTS Nova Scotia which shows his pay up to 1829 which is when he shows up in William Johnson of Bear Cove's Will as leasing acres in Halibut bay close next to George Edwards and Catherine Brown who are also leasing land from the Johnsons.

Thanks for any Hants info ...appreciate it
