Hello Marty; Thank you for the information. I am trying to piece together my Dad's family going back to Col. Joseph Fredrick Wallet DesBarres. He had apparently two wives, Mary Cannon and Martha Williams. I've not yet ascertained from which wife my dad's family is descended. Hence, my search continues. Your information should be helpful as it seems in great detail.
I will keep in touch as I proceed.

Frederick William Wallet DesBarres married Stella Lund in Sackville NB in 1945, when he was a 78 yr old grandfather! He had been a Methodist clergyman, became a history professor and author at Mount Allison University. It was Sella's first marriage, apparently she had been his student. His grandfather William and family lived in Halifax in 1881: they were Church of England, he was a Superior Court Judge. William's son Lewis was a lawyer there. I haven't found anything about FWW's father other than his name. Is there any connection here with your DesBarres family?
