The sketch was drawn by Ruth Rideout. The sketch was labled on the back. The label roused our curiosity so we "googled" Sanford Drawbridge, Yarmouth County N.S.

Hamilton B 1834. He was a lighthouse keeper. I would love
to learn more about Heman and his family. I believe that his father
may have also been Heman Hamilton B 1796.

Comments: The last home of my Aunt Alva and Uncle Clifton Woods overlooking
this lake in Reynardton and where Aunt Alva tried to feed me baked rabbit
telling me it was chicken. The first bite told me different even
at my young age and I threw it across the kitchen. That lake across
the road from their house is where my older brother nearly drowned and
made my mother so afraid of water she never did let us kids learn out to
swim until later in life. I remember that area so well in my mind
but would like someday to refresh that memory of seeing the old place again.

my parents.

Date: 6/12/2010 Name: Cynthia Stewart Location: London, Ontario Canada E-Mail: twostews@yahoo.ca Comments: Great little write up, thanks for the information & insight
it gives about Richfield. Just recently my roots that I thought
were strictly established in Tusket & Gavelton, now appear to have
origin in Richfield. Apparently my grgrandfather sold a house there that
was his father's to his neice Melvina Gavel & her husband Edwin Harding.
In the early 1900's the house burned to the ground. A small house with
a loft was built to accommodate his family of wife & 6 children, until
he could rebuild. But he died in a hunting accident in the woods in Maine,
USA where he had gone to work in the lumber industry. Story tells it that
Melvina always lived in that little house. I assume she died there also.
Anyway, thus my search for this hamlet called Richfield. So thanks again,
c. :)

Date: 6/30/2010 Name: Ron Tulimieri Location: San Francisco E-Mail: medware@yahoo.com Comments: Hypolite Surrett (my great grandfather) was born in about 1853, probably on Marris or Surrette's Island. Around 1889 or so, he married Frances Malonson. My grandfather is John Phillipe Surette born on May 12 1893. William Hurst was born at Half Island Cove in Guysborough in 1857.
He was a fisherman. William married Eunice Weeks on 12/4/1880.
William died at sea in 1904, and his wife died shortly after that.
More history on the web site surette family.org if anyone is interested
or can share more information it would be greatly appreciated.
