Nancy Henshaw's Ancestry:

Notes & Sources

These items are in no particular order.  Please use Our Henshaw Line and associated family sheets to relate these items in a meaningful way.  However, there are a few items listed below that are not referenced in the family sheets, e.g., in cases in which they refer to documents where no information was found, or they are sources not yet assimilated -- these have been marked as such, below.  This is a work in progress!
 

38. (Not referenced) Hillard/Hilliard Family Genealogy: [website]  [local copy].  See also item 39 below.

39. The following secondary source is cited by [38] and many other authors' genealogies:
          [BWB: we obtained a copy of this book and have verified the contents.]

          Title: History of the County of Annapolis, Nova Scotia
          Author: W. A. Calnek, edited by A. W. Savary
          Publication: William Briggs, Toronto, Canada and Phillimore & Co., London, England, 1897; reprinted by Global Heritage Press, Milton, Ontario, 1999

           [BWB: The following references to various people and places was derived from a single and not always careful read of this 660 page book, and so should not be considered exhaustive or complete - but, it's a start.  Also, I did not read the biographies nor many of the genealogies.]         

          39g. Index to mentions of Henshaw family:
                [BWB:  Nancy b.1789, d/o Samuel, married our Stephen b.1791.]

                    3. p.255:  Samuel - cleared 3 acres in Clements Twp c.1805
                    [BWB: it's interesting to note that Calnek has no genealogy section for the Henshaws.]
