  • Notes 
    • Memorial Sketch of Mrs. Mary Ann B. McHENRY — She was born at Nictaux, Annapolis, N.S. the second child and only d/o Rev. I.E. and Isabella BILL. He father had been ordained to the pastorate of Nictaux church on 20th March preceding. On the removal of her parents to Fredericton (York Co.) at the close of 1839 to take charge of the Baptist church in that place, Mary Ann entered the Female dept. of the Fredericton Seminary, then in charge of Miss BENNET who had been brought out from England by late Rev. Frederick MILES to fill that position. On the retirement of Miss BENNETT, her position was filled by Mrs. W. NEEDHAM and the daughter continued to enjoy the best advantages which the Seminary could impart until her father’s return to Nictaux. Having no prospect of a school at Nictaux adapted to her advanced stage of progress, she was placed under the tuition of Mrs. MILES, now the wife of Rev. R.W. CUSHMAN of Boston. On the marriage of Miss MILES, the daughter returned to her parents at Nictaux where she remained until the autumn of 1844 when she was taken by her father to Boston and placed in the Baptist Seminary at Charleston. In the 17th year of age, she opened superior school for young ladies in her father’s house at Nictaux. This, so far as we know, was the first Baptist female school of superior type opened in Nova Scotia. On 14th Sept. 1851, she became united in marriage to Thomas McHENRY, Esq., removed to St. John, N.B. and not long after was received by letter from the Nictaux Church into the Germain St. Baptist Church. In married life, she became the mother of six daughters and a few months before her death gave birth to her first and only son. (Source: Christian Visitor Saint John, N.B., Dec. 7, 1865)
