DECHMAN-DIGHTMAN

            and BERRY

GENEALOGY

"WE FIND OURSELVES

WHEN WE DISCOVER

THE PAST."

James Dechman and his wife, Grizzel Brunton,

left Edinburgh, Scotland and arrived in Salem,

Massachusetts in April 1775.  They settled in

Halifax, Nova Scotia by 1782.  James became the

first Keeper of the Town Clock and lived in the

Town Clock Building.

James's son, Richard became a farmer in

Upper Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia.

So begins the saga of my family.
