Hugh Moore: What Was Known Of Nova Scotia? Londonderry, NH had furnished a company of soldiers at Louisburg in 1745 under the command of Captain John Moor. Hugh Moore, Joseph Moore and William Moore were among the first grantees at Truro. Among the New Englanders who fought the French along the Bay of Fundy shore was a small contingent of volunteers from New Hampshire, numbering 32. Perhaps they extolled the virtues of the Annapolis Valley on their return. Certainly they arrived at the Acadian site at the most beautiful of seasons, reaching Annapolis Royal on May 25, 1755. Carol Campbell (Conrad 1991) writes: "When the French-English conflict resulted in the Expulsion of the French from Acadia, one group from the Hamlet of Derry in the Township of Londonderry (New Hampshire), some of had served with Captain Alexander McNutt at Fort Cumberland, chose land on the shores of the Bay of Fundy in a region referred to as Cobequid (Truro)... " Captain William Blair came to Nova Scotia in 1758 assisting in the capture of Louisburg and later with the first group to Truro in 1760. William Corbett, a gunsmith by trade, and with General Wolfe at Quebec was also among the first settlers. The Massachusetts muster role of 1759 includes familiar names as the original 1765 Truro grantees - Samuel Archibald, James Dunlap, John Fisher, William Fisher, Robert Hunter, William Kennedy, John McKeen, John Taylor, Matthew Taylor. The muster role of the next year contains the additional names of David Archibald, Thomas Dunlap and Charles McKay. The Londonderry migrants (which were joined by some from a Boston agent) were all Presbyterian, all Ulster-Scots, and many were related... The Township of Truro contained two small hamlets: Derry, peopled by those who had migrated from Londonderry Township, many of whom belonged to two extensive kinship groups centered around the Archibald and Moor families, and Down, whose inhabitants had traveled from Boston..." In the spring of 1760 the first land-hungry settlers crossed the Gulf of Maine and settled in Nova Scotia. The farmers in the group settled on the old Acadian lands in the townships of Annapolis, Granville, Cornwallis, Falmouth and Horton.
Hugh married Jenat Morrison in 1732 in Londonderry, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States. Jenat was born in 1705 in Ireland; died in 1790 in Nova Scotia, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
