Hi
I am researching the Oxley family of River Philip, Cumberland
County, trying to fill in the descendants of George and Mary
(Bowden) Oxley, and their five sons, Stephen, George, Robert, John
and Joseph.
George and Mary came over on the Providence on 1 June 1774 to
Halifax, then moved to Amherst area for a few years before
receiving a land grant at River Philip, Cumberland County, Nova
Scotia. George, Mary and sons, George Jr., John and Joseph lived
in River Philip and Wallace area. Stephen lived in Halifax area
for a few years before moving to Tidnish. No proof or information
yet, but I believe Robert moved to the Halifax area as well.
Therefore most of the Oxley's in Nova Scotia are descendants of
George and Mary.
I am looking for all Oxley's and descendants to make sure that I
have included them all. So if you have an Oxley ancestor or
descendants from Nova Scotia in your research, I will appreciate
hearing from you, so that I can make sure that they are included
in my research / book.
Thanks
Kathryn
