Date: 9/8/2003 Name: Jean MacGregor Simon Location: Huntsville, Alabama E-Mail: Rjmsimon@knology.net Comments: Re: My dad (the late Dr. Judson Stewart MacGregor of Nova Scotia, Boston & Milton, Massachusetts)'s first cousin, Gordon Sullivan Hatfield, son of Dad's "Aunt Fan", or Frances nee Hatfield, 2nd wife of John Ashley Hatfield. Gordon was born 9 Oct. 1871 in Tusket Falls, Yarmouth County, NS, brother of "Chrissie" Hatfield, telephone exchange operator 1940's to early 1960's in Tusket. I would like to correspond (my email is Rjmsimon@knology.net) with friends and relatives of Chrissie and Gordon Hatfield. I can explain that I heard that Gordon's mother never wanted him to be a photographer. Possibly Gordon's wife, nee Nettie Gavel, didn't want him to either? Does anyone have a copy of the photo mentioned below from your website, a photo which Gordon took? This photo doesn't show on my computer screen. I do know that Gordon took the photo of my family, headed by my grandfather, Rev. Peter Stewart MacGregor a former minister of Baptist Church probably in Tusket, his wife - my grandmother, Bessie Hatfield, nee Elizabeth Maria Hatfield daughter of Jacob Hatfield and Eleanor Jane MacKinnon of Tusket, of my father Judson, & his siblings Charles Harold MacGregor, Jean Hatfield MacGregor, and George Everett MacGregor, ca. 1900. I am hoping that the photo referred to on your website might be my family, but I'd have to see the photo to identify it. If anyone has a photo of Jacob Hatfield who died ca. 1861, when my grandmother was age 2, I'd love to see that as well! Here's the text from your website mentioning Gordon Sullivan Hatfield, whom I've met, I think, when I was a little child in the 1940's, if the page will permit me to copy and paste it here: "A Notable Native of Tusket Falls
At the time of his marriage, he abandoned his photography, not only as a business, but even as a hobby. It's not clear why this happened, because the photographs which still exist are exemplary. The family portrait by Hatfield, reproduced below, elegant, dignified, and yet simple, is the work of a true artist. The subjects are unidentified and one can only imagine why they came to Hatfield's studio,solemn, distinguished, certainly affluent, to make this family record.. Are they Yarmouthians? Does anyone recognize them from family photos? It would be interesting to learn their identity. Gordon Hatfield died in 1944 at the age of seventy-three. Cause of his death: a heart attack brought on while cranking his Model-T truck. More information to be added The photo and account of Gordon Hatfield's career are taken from the book by Eric Ruff and Laura Bradley, ‘Images of our Past - Historic Yarmouth - Town & County'. Our thanks to the authors and to the the Yarmouth County Museum and Archives, 22 Collins St., Yarmouth, Nova Scotia B5A 3C8, Canada; (902)742-5539; ycmuseum@ns.sympatico.ca . The website address is http://yarmouthcountymuseum.ednet.ns.ca/" I'd love to hear from you all. Please write! Jean MacGregor Simon

Date: 9/27/2003 Name: Jan Whitehouse Weems Location: Burlington, Wiscinsin USA E-Mail: sabrakatz@hotmail.com Comments: Hi,Just got my computer and am trying to do a little family
research....... there sure is a lot of information out there, it's mind-boggling.
My dad spent all his summers growing up on Roberts Island, Glenwood, Yarmouth
County. I didn't get up there until after he died, we brought his
ashes back to Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, in 1994.His name was Arthur Wallace
Whitehouse---I would love to hear from anyone who remembers him, or from
other family members. I have been trying to trace our earliest ancestor,
William Whitehouse.,born in 1778-1780....was an orphan, adopted by a family
of Jeremiah Frost. I don't have much information,but he settled on
Roberts Island and I'm descended from his son, Benjamin Joseph Whitehouse,
and Elihu Ritchie Whitehouse, his grandson---whose house still stands on
Roberts Island. I am related to Rickers, Frosts, Roberts, Crowell
(?), Spinney, Nickersons, and others. I would love to go back and
spend a few weeks at least, in Nova Scotia.......hoping for a trip next
summer. Would like to meet any relatives interested, or maybe attend
any family reunions....Please email me. Thank you for any help or
information ! Jan
