Ditmars family

Description
The Captain Douwe Ditmars family were Loyalists who settled in the Township of Clements, Annapolis County, in 1783. The family continued to live in Clementsport for at least two centuries, working as farmers and merchants. Some members of the Ditmars family married into families in neighbouring Lunenburg County. These family papers contain legal documents, estate inventories, and manuscripts and pertain mostly to Robert L., Emma G., Gilbert F., and Gilbert Fowler between 1816 and 1966.
