My sixth-great-grandmother was Deborah Tufts, born 1782 in Lee, married Jonathan Knowlton of Farmington, Maine, in 1801. It appears by this post that she was one of the six children of black sheep Henry Tufts, Jr. and Lydia Bickford. I have an original handwritten record of Deborah's children and could readily send you an image file. It lists her as Mrs. Deborah Knowlton born in Lee July 6, 1782, but we know from other records that she was Deborah Tufts of Lee. (New Hampshire?) Are you able confirm this connection? I have a good bit of information on her descendants. -David Woodbury- woodburymaine@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521220902152126055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606411506507983809.post-1627648008371672532016-10-27T19:31:08.390-07:002016-10-27T19:31:08.390-07:00I was unable to send e-mail to that address.

I ...My name is Gary Wright of Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am a descendent of Gershom Tufts (b. 2 Jan. 1728, Medford, MA). I would like to share the Nova Scotia story of Gershom as it was left to me by my late Uncle Murray Wright who researched this genealogy over many years. Gershom reportedly came to Halifax, from Medford, some time in 1749. On 2 July 1750, he married a Mary Baldwin (from Charleston, MA) in Aylesford, Nova Scotia, a farming community outside Halifax County. According to birth records of their first 5 children, Garshom and Mary returned to Charleston, then Medford some time between their marriage in 1750 and the birth of their first child in 1753 in Charleston, MA. Birth records of their next 9 children indicate that they returned to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia some time in 1759. Years later, Gershom obtained a 1000 acre tract of land on the Dartmouth side of the Halifax Harbour. This area would over time become known locally as Tufts Cove, a small area of Dartmouth which still bares this name. As time passed and the children grew, some of the offspring moved away from Dartmouth and settled in New Brunswick province near the Maine border. Some relocated to the Chester area on the southern shore of Nova Scotia, while some remained in Tufts Cove and other areas around the Dartmouth area. Gershom left Dartmouth and returned to Medford some time between 1790 and his death in Medford on 11 May 1797. It is not known if his wife Mary returned to Medford with him or if she remained in Nova Scotia with her children, but record has it that she died 20 Dec, 1806 and is buried in a now unmarked grave at the Tufts Cove Cemetery in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Please feel free to visit my facebook group page "The Tufts Cove Cemetery Project" for other bits of research material and photos of our effort to restore the Tufts Cove Cemetery.

Gershom would have been one by reason of geography. Hard not to be when he had settled in Nova Scotia.

I am really looking forward to your post about this ancestor and his descendants. I am hoping to figure out my sketchy Tuft branch. It's very confusing figuring out who was born, married, died in Canada and who returned to Massachusetts. Also trying to figure out why the names Freeman and Adams keep popping up as my ancestors middle names.Lollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526692343815904632noreply@blogger.com
