Historical and Genealogical Record of the First Settlers of Colchester County, Nova Scotia

By Thomas Miller

This book features a comprehensive account of Colchester County's history as documented in 1873, though the majority of its contents consist of a valuable compilation of genealogical data on most early families up to 1873.

It was the the intention of the author to write only about his "own kindred, but he was led on to discuss nearly all the Grantees of the Townships of Truro, and some of Onslow and Londonderry, with their descendants, as far as he could gather information".
