| The waterfront of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, seen from the sloop Eastern Star in the harbor |
Last week I wrote a post about my ancestors, the SCHUPP family of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. In this post I wrote how the early Germans setters were foreign Protestants brought in by the British to repopulate Nova Scotia in the wake of the expulsion of the Acadians. You should read that post for background information on the history of these German families. Click HERE.
The immigrant ancestor of the FINCK family in Lunenburg,
Nova Scotia was Christian FINCK. He was
a smith from Wurtenburg in Germany, and he arrived with the foreign Protestants
on board the ship Gale on 12 June
1751, which sailed from Rotterdam to Halifax, Nova Scotia. He was granted land B-40 in the NW Range in
Lunenburg, and he was listed on the 1755 victualing list as FINK under the names
Christian, Maria, Margaret, Anna, Catherine, and Frederick.
Christian Finck’s will was sealed on 17 October 1779. It stated that his burial was to be arranged
by his son Frederick, and that his son shall keep his mother, Anna Maria and “allow
her to stay and upkeep all her natural life”.
It also named his daughters by their married names.
Christian Finck’s daughter
Anna Margareta married Johan Justinias Schupe, the son of settlers Richart and
Apollina Schupp. His grand daughter,
Anna Margareta Schupp, married a Scots Immgrant,
John Lennox. His great grand daughter, Sarah
Elizabeth Lennox, married Bremner Frederick Bollman,
the son of a Hessian soldier of the American Revolutionary War. These three German surnames highlighted in red
are the only known German surnames in my family tree.
