appendix: Immigration to and Emigration from Nova Scotia
1815-1838 prepared by J.S. Martell, 1942
Ships to and from Nova Scotia 1815-1838
The information included here is chiefly drawn from Customs
Returns, Government correspondence and contemporary newspapers. The Martell
appendix is the preliminary source of this information, however additional
material
will
be included,
from a variety of sources. There are no passenger names, with the exception
of a list of Scottish settlers to Pictou in 1816, [see]
a muster roll of Welsh passengers in 1818 [see],
and the survivors of the wrecked Dispatch in 1828 [see]
and Saint Lawrence, Tobermory to Ship Harbour 1828
[see]. Where a source is quoted as PANS,
that citation
may now be outdated, as the
Public Archives of Nova
Scotia
(PANS) is now referred to as
NSARM (Nova
Scotia Archives and Records Management).
note about omissions &c.: a -
Some arrivals in the "shipping news" section of the newspapers
included names of passengers, thought to be Cabin
class,
and
not immigrants, so are not included. b - Passengers
on ships bound to ports other than Nova Scotian, are not included in
totals. c - Shipwrecked passengers are
not included it totals, unless there was reason to believe they stayed
in the Province. — In the contemporary documents for this period,
the term Emigrant is often used in place of Immigrant,
so consider 'Emigrant' as an inclusive categorization for Immigrant. — The
nationality of the passengers is arbitrarily indicated by country of departure
of the ship, rather than the origin of the passengers.
note: The formal archiving of passenger
lists for Canadian arrivals did not begin, for the ports of . .
. Quebec 1865 . . . Halifax 1881 . . . St. John 1900 etc. . . . see Canadian
Records and also check Passenger
Lists for additional early passenger lists, or, lists of passengers
found from a variety of sources.

They settled at Margaree. On Nov. 16, 1830, the Council in Halifax

by the Election which terminated here yesterday. Many have been wounded
and one of the Irishmen killed, by the Scotch party, when attacked
by the Irish—the Scotch remaining peaceable when left alone—The
Scotch have all gone home and the Irish [are] left to act as they

bound for St. John, N.B., with 250 passengers, short of provisions,
"supplied her with fish, water, &c. ; was informed by passengers
that the captain had been for several days in a state of intoxication,
and did not know where the vessel was ; that they [the passengers]
intended next day to put her in charge of the mate and make for the
first port.—The Govt. brig Chebucto sailed [from Halifax] on
Friday evening in search of the above vessel, and has not yet returned
[July 30]."
"The master of a schooner from Arichat, reports that the brig Duncan from Ireland, bound to New Brunswick, landed about 100 passengers
at Mary Joseph and then proceeded on her passage—about 70 of
these had taken passage for Halifax," |
| |
Idem |

"The Chebucto fell in with the brig Duncan, on the

only about 60 passengers on board, bound to St. John, the remainder,
about 200, had left her, and were on there way to this place [Halifax]." |

| Ad: |
In the Novascotian of July 21, 1831, there was the
following notice:
TO CARPENTERS, MASONS, &c.—Some years since, when the rage
for Ship building gave such an impulse to every kind of business,
many of our mechanics emigrated to the adjoining Provinces, where
employment was to be had on better terms than at home. Should this
meet the eye of any who are out of employ, we would advise them to
make their way back as fast as possible. The works at the Canal and
the Citadel—the numerous houses in course of erection, and
the laying down of platforms on the side walks of the town [Halifax],
keep our Masons and Carpenters in constant and profitable activity—and
so great is the demand for labor, that we know several persons who
delay to build or repair, because it is almost impossible to procure
mechanics." |

40—have landed here from Greenock." (PANS, Financial Mss.,
Revenue, Temporary Duties, Passenger Money, 1833). The Collector
of Customs at Pictou, J.H. Noonan, collected passenger money from
50 people on the Charlotte Kerr. His date of entry, July 10, 1833,
is evidently incorrect. (PANS, Vol. 282, Doc.85) |

No reports were found of immigration at Sydney, but
the following extracts from correspondence have a bearing on the
problems faced by the authorities in Cape Breton in dealing with
shipwrecked and poor immigrants.
PANS, Financial Mss., Passenger Money, op. cit., C.E.
Leonard to [Charles Wallace], Sydney, June 8 1833
"We are now sending to Halifax upwards of 200 out of 400 [immigrants]
who have been wrecked within the last 3 weeks . . . [The sight
of] the starving Emigrants of last year wandering about the Country
looking for food is distressing beyond conception. Some of them
[are] digging up the few seed potatoes which they had planted to
keep themselves alive. Such casualties connected with the increase
of the mines establishment have almost caused a famine in this
small Community."
PANS, Financial Mss., Import and Excise, C.E. Leonard to [Charles
Wallace], Sydney, Aug. 12, 1833
"The expense for provisions & Supplies [for] the wrecked Emigrants
here amounted to upwards of £100—£45 of which has
been paid to Judge Marshall from the Emigrant fund by Sir Rupert
George's order with directions to the Collector [of Customs and passenger
money] to pay such monies as he may collect from that fund to Mr.
Marshall until the demand is paid off here, consequently the Masters
of the Small Vessels are not likely to receive any from us this Season
or indeed the other claiments it being doubtful whether any more
Emigrants will come this year."
PANS, Financial Mss., Passenger Money, op. cit., C.E.
Leonard to [Charles Wallace], Sydney, Dec. 27 1833
"I enclose the amount of Money received by myself from the Emigrant
fund. The first charge of £52 you will find the Road Commissioner
Accts. & receipts for among the accounts of last year 1832.
"The next £25 paid Judge Marshall and Myself was distributed
to about Fifty Scotchmen which I have his orders for and which can
be transmitted with the amount of distribution if required
"The other sums I now forward the receipts for—"
The money specified in these letters, £122 in all, as coming
from the immigrant fund plus the money from the same fund referred
to in general terms would appear to justify an estimate (at five
shillings per head) of between 500 and 1,000 immigrants at Sydney
in 1833. |

No reports were found of immigration at
Sydney. Passenger money paid into the Provincial Treasurer from different
places amounted to £307 in 1834 (PANS, Vol. 400). This was
not the total amount paid at the various ports, as some was always
withheld for local expenses, but it affords a basis for figuring.
It is known that £74, in passenger money was paid at Pictou.
At five shillings a head, the amount for Halifax would have been
about £149. The balance, or most of it, £84, probably
came from Sydney where, it seems safe to say, at least 300 to 350
immigrants landed in 1834. |

No reports were found of immigration at Pictou. Passenger
money paid into the Provincial Treasurer from different places amounted
to £177 in 1835 (PANS, Vol. 400). At five shillings a head,
the 611 passengers from Britain at Halifax and Sydney, recorded above,
would account for £152. £25 or more probably came from
Pictou and, if so, passengers there numbered 100 or more. |

The Acadian Recorder of September 17 reported that fifty
of the passengers who "possessed money sufficient to pay their passage
to Boston" embarked on the Acadian on September
12. Some of the other passengers for the United States in September
and October were probably from the Florida. The number on board when
she finally sailed was not reported in the newspapers. |
