Excerpt from A History of Barrington Township and Vicinity, Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, 1604-1870: With a Biographical and Genealogical Appendix The book here offered to the public is the product of a half century of preparation. It was first conceived and made possible by Professor Arnold Doane who em ployed his vacations in ferreting out the life-stories and relationships of the early settlers of Barrington. This work he continued until his death in 1911. Afterwards the subscriber, who had long felt the importance of pre serving the history of his native township, acquired the memoranda left by Prof. Doane and has put them with many changes and extensive additions into their present shape. The Archives at Ottawa, Halifax, Liverpool and Yarmouth, as well as of Shelburne and Barrington have been searched and the answers to many questions of general and local historical interest are here made known.
