Last ditch attempt, am very down in the mouth about this line of research now, unfortunately. If anyone has Gleed's from the Nova Scotia area I'd be interested to hear from you. My Sarah Gleed married an English soldier named Thomas Fennell in Halifax, 1819. Their daughter Catherine was born there in 1821 then Thomas took them back to England in 1825 (Southam, Warks). I do have the tree upto the present day with plenty more kids, but am interested in Sarah's heritage.

have you checked
www.novascotiagenealogy.com
There are two marriage bonds for Thomas Gleed in 1799 and Mary Sophia Gleed in 1815. It appears that Mary is a daughter of Thomas. There appears to be a military background in these families. Hope this helps.

You're welcome...I hate missing notifications...
I love the Marriage bond for Thomas Gleed and Anna Dennemann 1799... it is Fabulouf... with all the sses and fuch as 'f"... I alwayf faid thif waf funny reading...Forry.
The name Dennemann appears to be German or danish origins
a Wilhelm Dennemann, was a member of the the Church of St. George, within this publication with some pioneers mentioned in this early publication of the Historical society of N.S....but can't see what year...too much to read around...( 1780's?) http://www.rootschat.com/links/07e4/ use keyword search to see name
also Read from page 138.. immigrants directly from Germany 1750's
He may also have been a soldier himself
When the hostilities broke out between the American colonies and the British authorities in 1776, England did not have enough soldiers to fight against the rebels who wanted their independence. Thus, England made an agreement with the German principalities to hire contingents of soldiers.
A total of 30,000 Germans fought in North America between 1776 and 1783. Among them, 10,000 men served in Canada and almost 2,400 settled there after the war, mainly in Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Not positive, but this may be the church
