Anglican church in Chester, NS. He was living in Chester
at time of the 1838 Census. He was a carpenter by trade.

away at sea when he died. Athalia had a premonition that
something was wrong and when she saw his ship arrive back
in port with its flag at half-mast, she knew her husband
was dead. She always claimed that the rest of the crew
let him die because he was not a Mason (an
unsubstantiated claim, I hasten to add). He was only
about 22 years old when he died. Athalia then married Thomas GIFFIN, son of Robert Giffin and Lavinia McLearn

VAUGHN (Athalia3 Thomas2 Patrick1) b. 2 December 1868,

Nathan Alton FREEMAN, son of Gorham and Sophie (McKenna)
Freeman. Alton was born 6 May 1865 in Greenfield, Queens
County and died at Millis, MA, 9 December 1897 at the age
of 32. Elva was pregnant at the time of his death so she
returned to Nova Scotia and most likely came home to her
mother's place in Louis Head (because her youngest child
was born there). Her half-sister, Antoinette Giffin, went
to the U. S. to stay with her and help her with the
children. "Uncle" Eli GODDARD was living in the
U. S. at the time and showed Nettie around the area --
Eli and his brothers had been orphaned in the West Indies
and had been brought back to Louis Head. They were farmed
out with several families there. Eli lived with a mean
family for a while but then came to live with Thomas
Giffin, where he was treated very well and was like an
uncle to the Giffin children. He never married and died
in the U. S.

guess what ship he examined and passed on up the harbour?
You got it -- the Mont Blanc, one of the two ships
responsible for the terrible Halifax Explosion. At the

he allowed a ship loaded with explosives to proceed
without even an escort.
