Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Barrington Township and Vicinity, Shelburne County, Nova Scotia, 1604-1870: With a Biographical and Genealogical Appendix Historians of Nova Scotia have generally, through ignorance or lack of perspective, ignored the earlier and more substantial pre-loyalist settlement and its impor tance to the Province, While invariably featuring the refugee loyalists and their miseries. In Shelburne County in particular the older township was for the time complete ly overshadowed by the new one. We have attempted to present these factors of township and provincial foun dations in their true and proper proportions in this work. The author has with much labor and expense pre pared genealogies of the early inhabitants, and with them biographical sketches of individuals of note. John Mor ley has said that a few sentences in a biography many a time mean long chapters in a life, and what looked like an incident turns out to be an epoch. The enhanced cost of publication now compels us to greatly abridge these records of descent by limiting them to about the third generation from the first proprietors.
