Description: |
| Nova Scotia (NS) patents were issued between 1834 and 1867, when they joined with Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick to form the Dominion of Canada.Information on Nova Scotia patents 1834-1856 is taken from Summer 1995 issue of Nova Scotia Genealogy, which reproduces a list compiled by Gordon G. Phillips in 1980 and self-published in a book (that we have not seen) entitled, "Patents of Nova Scotia : pre Confederation, 1834-1869". A period work, "The British North American Almanac and Annual Record For the Year 1864" provides a listing covering 1834 to November 1863. The patent numbers used here match those given in that issue of Nova Scotia Genealogy. For patents 1857 and later, we assigned numbers in date order; we cannot guarantee that they match numbers assigned by anyone else, e.g., Phillips.In 1836 Levi Rice was one of the founding partners of the King's County Woolen Cloth and Mills Co., which "must have died in its infancy." |
