Hello.  Looking for any help on my Baxter family. 

Robert Baxter born 1752 in Scotland, died in 1814 in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada and  married Ann Frizzell on 1 Aug 1780 in Windsor Nova Scotia, Canada.  He had many children listed as Margaret, John, Hugh Oliver, Hannah Moore, Daniel, Oliver, Sarah, Thomas, Robert, Ann.  All born in Nova Scotia, Canada.  Family history is that Robert was born in Scotland and maybe in the area of Kintyre Peninsula, but have not found anything to suggest that this is true.  Also don't know of any siblings to Robert.

Doing many searches (and of course Robert is such a common name) I have come across a Robert Baxter born in Markinch, Fife, Scotland on 30 Sep 1752 to Robert Baxter and Margaret Small (they were married on 15 Dec 1749 in Markinch, Fife, Scotland.  They are listed in the IGI site with and indexing number of C11447-4.  Does anyone have any info on this Robert Baxter to suggest that he may have come to Nova Scotia before 1780? 

I understand it isn't much to go on, but any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Looking for a James Rogers born abet 1796 presumably in Donegal Ireland.  He moved to England (not sure of place) and worked as a weaver.  He then moved to Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada and married a Sarah Miller.  He died in Nova Scotia in 1868.  I have no other information on his parents or siblings and would love to know more about this ancestor.  He would be my Gr. Gr. Great Grandfather.  Does anyone have any information on any Rogers in the area???  Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for information on Adams surname that lived in Hilton, Derbyshire, Marston Upon Dove England.

The family is:

Son: John, b 20 Feb 1761 in Hilton, Derbyshire, Marston Upon Dove England, d 16 Mar 1843 in New London, PEI, Canada

John Adams Sr. and Jr. moved to Prince Edward Island Canada where John Sr. married Sarah Harrison. 

I am wondering if there are any headston inscriptions of this family in Hilton.  Also if anyone knows any other relatives of John Adams Sr. (possible father is either Richard or Thomas) or other relatives of Elizabeth Wright. 

Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated.

I am searching for surname of Baxter on Kintyre Peninsula or Isle of Kintyre.  I don't know of a town name as of yet, but stories in the family suggest that my Baxter family came from the Isle of Kintyre.  My oldest record is a Robert Baxter b-1752 place unknown.  He married a Anne Frizzell on 1 Aug 1780 in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada.  He died 1814 in Windsor, Nova Scotia.  There aren't any Baxter's in the index of the surviving census records for the 1770's for Nova Scotia, Canada.  I am thinking that the Baxter's came to NS from Scotland.  I don't know of his parents, but am hoping that someone might have information on Robert and family.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

I am looking for any information on an Alexander Cameron that lived in Chirnside and was born around 1788-1791.  He moved to Nova Scotia, Canada around 1818 and married and Elizabeth Ann Hurst when he arrived.    I don't know of his parents, but it possible that his father was also Alexander and married to a Paxton, and possibly killed in Waterloo in 1815.   Any help of this family would be appreciated.
