Notes for Richard Nickerson:
Richard NICKERSON was born in 1741 in Chatham, Cape Cod, Barnstable, MA. He died on 15 Nov 1774 in Barrington Twp, Shelburne Co., Nova Scotia. Richard grew up in Massachusetts, and came with his brothers to Barrington, Nova Scotia in 1760. It might be noted here why so many went to
Nova Scotia at that time. After the expulsion of the Acadians, the British Government was anxious to attract settlers to the lands they had vacated. In 1758 Governor Laurence issued a proclaimation and offered immigrants transportation, free farms, and partial support until their crops were underway.
Cape Cod fishermen were accustomed to this area where fish were plenty, and found the offer very tempting. Also, a number of Cape Cod men had become acquainted with the area through their military service there. Families from all along the eastern shore of Massachusetts accepted the terms, and from 1760 to 1763 over fifty families from Chatham alone emigrated to that region - primarily to Liverpool and Barrington. The history of Chatham lists those who went in 1760. Nickersons included were Ebenezer Jr., Jonathan, Elkanah, Daniel, Nathan, William 3rd, James, Elisha and Elisha Jr. to Liverpool; Caleb, Prince, Richard and Joshua, brothers, Eldad and Stephan, half-brothers, to Barrington. He was married to Sarah NICKERSON before 1767.
