1Neil Weatherbee; Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, Email 28Oct2006. "As for the William who married Hannah Higgins, his
parents may have been Thomas Stevens and Nancy Agnes
Elliott. I had mentioned Thomas and Nancy in an
earlier email in which I mentioned that Thomas
Millar's book indicated that they had four sons and
one daughter. Millar's book also stated that Nancy
married two times after Thomas' death - first to a Mr.
Read and then to a Thomas Hunt.
I would feel comfortable in listing James, Robert and William (all the Stevens in the 1838 Londonderry census) as possible sons of Thomas Stevens and Nancy Elliott. As for the fourth son, he could have been Enoch Stevens, Husband of Sarah Elliott (nancy's niece), who was living at New Annan in 1838.
Although I cannot confirm the children, the makeup of Thomas and Nancy Stevens' family may have been:
Thomas Stevens (b. c. 1758) m. Nancy Agnes Elliott.
- (?) William Stevens (b. c. 1780's) m. Hannah Higgins
- (?) Sarah Stevens (b. c. 1790) m. Samuel Whidden.
- (?) Enoch Stevens (B. c. 1793) m. Sarah Elliott
- (?) Robert D. Stevens (b. c. 1796) m. Maria Campbell.
- (?) James William Stevens (b. 1801) m. Jane Geddes."2Rootsweb, http://www.rootsweb.com, Line 52. "Thomas Stevens is assessed 1 shilling." "Assessed Bill of Revenue Tax for township of Onslow for the year 1791".
3Robert Kim Stevens and Cj Stevens, The Stevens Families of Nova Scotia, Oracle Press, NY; 1979, Copy in Personal Files of Dianne Z. Stevens. "p. 395 Thomas Stevens married Nancy Elliot, a daughter of one of the first settlers of Onslow, Colchester Co. They had four sons and one daughter. ... The sons of Thomas and Nancy are not named by Miller (First Settlers of Colchester County, p. 9) nor is there any spare Thomas Stevens in the genealogies of Thomas and Jacob Stevens, early settlers at Onslow ...This Thmas Stevens could possibly be the father of Edmund Stevens, Enoch Stevens, and Robert D. Stevens, but no evidence to support this speculation has been found."

As the most of our readers are already aware, Governor Cornwallis arrived in Halifax in the month of June, 1749, with a fleet of ships loaded with passengers, and other things which were necessary for the settlement of a new country. These ships were bearers of nearly 3000 souls. These persons set to work with vigour to clear off the bushes and erect houses for themselves and families to live in, and put themselves in a way to defend themselves from the attacks of the Indians and a few French settlers who were still remaining in the place. Mr. Anthony Elliott was in this company. He was in His Majesty's service as a Soldier. It is said Mrs. Elliott was the first woman that sat foot on the shoe on their arrival in Halifax. After Louisbourg and Quebec were taken by the British, Mr. Elliott and a number of others were discharged from His Majesty's service. In the spring of the year 1762 he removed, with his family and a number of others, from Halifax to Onslow. He settled on the farm on which James Crow, Esq., now resides, at the lower end of Onslow, where he spent the remainder of his days. He died there. His wife died there in 1813. He was a grantee of the Township of Onslow. This grant is dated February 21st, 1769." http://www.richardlowe.com/family-tree/crowe/colcbook.htm.3Barbara Trenholm Genealogy site, www.trenholm.org. genealogy website.
