Seth Noble: A Revolutionary War Soldier's Promise of America and the Founding of Bangor, Maine and Columbus, Ohio","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the comprehensive biography of Reverend Seth Noble—famous preacher, patriot and pioneer founding father. With the discovery and transcription of one of Rev. Seth Noble's earliest sermons (1774), we find that he believed the American Revolution to be God's plan to bring a global reformation to the world. He firmly believed that America was God's true Promised Land. This early sermon preserves a place for Seth Noble in Revolutionary War history; he publicly preached American independence prior to our beloved Virginians: Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Throughout New England and Nova Scotia, his cry \"Better die than Submit!\" launched his Revolutionary War service. He braved treason and lived with a price on his head, all for his beliefs in \"this glorious cause.\" After the war, the reality of forming a new nation brought hardships we cannot fully comprehend today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncluded in this book, is a deposition clearly identifying a surprisingly well-known individual as a British spy, new information on Washington's famous crossing of the Delaware, the 1798 shipwreck of the Bangor-built schooner (\u003cem\u003eSusannah\u003c\/em\u003e) with a passenger list including the children of important Revolutionary War heroes, and a brief Noble genealogy. Seth Noble named Bangor for a popular Revolutionary War hymn tune; early sheet music and musical history of this tune is studied in depth.

In fact, the variety of source records consulted is one of the volume's strengths. From shipping records to passenger lists, from land petitions to census records, then from newspaper columns, vital records, church registers, and a host of fugitive sources, the sources utilized provide a rich trove of genealogical data. This volume differs from the previous volumes in the series in that explanatory material and brief essays accompany many of the articles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a convenient reference point, the book opens with maps of Ayrshire, Dumfries-shire, and Perthshire, the three Scottish shires that contributed significantly to Scots immigration into Maritime Canada. Next there is a comprehensive list of the 1,200 ships that are known to have sailed from Scotland to the Maritimes between 1770 and 1852. If a passenger list has been published for any of these voyages, it is indicated in the footnotes, but otherwise the ports of departure and arrival and the dates of the voyage provide significant clues to an immigrant's place of origin in Scotland and place of settlement in Canada.

The Lowlander, more accustomed to towns and trade, gravitated to cities such as Halifax and Saint John, and the towns of Pictou, St. Andrews and Dalhousie. Much of the commercial life of early Atlantic Canada was conducted by Lowland Scots.
