There are many records of Gosbees in Canterbury area. 1.) JOHN Gosby (Gosbee) born in England 1710. He married Mary Rogers on 24 June 1731 at St. George the Martyr Church, Canterbury, Kent, England. Children: 1.1) John Gosby, who was christened on 26 Sept 1731 (same church as above). There is no further info. on this son, so assume he died prior to family immigrating to Nova Scotia. 1.2) Jane Gosby born 1748, London, England. John and Mary Gosby emigrated to Nova Scotia. They arrived in Halifax on the ship ALEXANDER in 1749. He is shown as being a husbandman (farmer), married to Mary, with 1 girl and 1 female servant. Soon after arriving in the new town of Halifax, another son: 1.3) Lewis Magee Gosbee was born. He was baptised at St. Paul's Church 23 July 1749. Tragedy struck the family soon after, when John and Mary's baby daughter, Jane, died in December. She was buried 28 Dec 1749. Shortly before his second birthday, Lewis Magee died. He was buried 13 June 1751. 1.4 Sarah Gosbee born 1751, baptised 21 Nov 1751. She was the first child to survive to maturity. She married Seth Webb. She was mentioned in her father's will as Sarah Webb. John's wife, Mary Gosbee, died 1755 and is buried in St. Paul's Cemetery, Halifax. John Gosbee remarried 21 Nov 1763 to Elizabeth Laurilliard, the daughter of Jean-Christophe (Jonathan Christopher) and Anne Clement. John and Elizabeth had five more children: 1.5 William Gosbee was the first child born. His life was short, he died 31 Jan 1765. 1.6 Susannah Gosbee baptised 1 Dec 1765 at St. Paul's Church, Halifax. She survived to maturity and married Matthew Walker in 1791. They had a large family. Matthew was a carpenter. 1.7 Charles Gosbee baptized 23 July 1767. He died 17 Sept 1772. 1.8 Elizabeth Gosbee born Dec 1769. She died at 11 months of age, 3 Nov 1770. 1.9 John Gosbee was the only son to survive to maturity. A birthdate has not been found yet, but he is mentioned in his father's will. Most, if not all, of the Gosbee families of Nova Scotia and PI descend from this son, John Gosbee. His descendants are also spread over many of the United States. The name is also spelled Gosby, Gosbey, Gosbie. Although John Gosbee was listed as a husbandman, or farmer, at the time of his arrival in Halifax in 1749, there is little doubt that he was, instead, a brewer. The offer to qualified English subjects (farmers, carpenters, etc.) was tempting to the overcrowded masses of London-fifty acres of land plus ten for every member of his family, together with arms, ammunitiion and 'a proper quantity of materials and utensils for husbandry, clearing and cultivaTING THE LANDS, ERECTING HABITATIONS, CARRYING ON THE FISHERY, AND SUCH OTHER PURPOSES AS SHALL BE DEEMED NECESSARY FOR THEIR SUPPORT.' 'The people who registered were largely the poor of London..cockneys wholly unfit for a life in the...wilderness' 'One may wonder how reliable were the statements of occupations entered into the passenger lists...the numbers who put themselves down as 'husbandment' 'carpenters' 'joiners', etc. look suspiciously large'. Regardless of their prior occupations, hundreds of families were accepted as settlers for the new town and they set sail in the spring of 1749. The Halifax in the very early years of settlement was raw. Taverns were on every corner and lawnessness was rife. In order to cut down the number of drinking establishments in the town, the Council of Halifax resolved to limit the number of liquor licenses to 40. As an inducement to brewers of the town, land grants were offered in the Windsor area, and all along the Windosr-Halifax road. John Gosbee's name is found among those who were granted land in the Windosr area, and for a nunmber of years he lived in that area, owning large tracts of land and several town lots as well. His name appears on the Crown grant of Newport Township in July 1761, as a person applying for liquor liecenses. Prior to his marriage to Elizabeth Laurilliard, John Gosbee owned the following lots of land: D - in 1st Division #1 Town of Newport 1 - 6 acre lot: B - 4th Division #8 1 - farm lot or tract\|: E - 2nd Division #2 - 200 acres Village lot so called B: 2nd Division #3 included as part of the farm lot 1 - lot in the Grand dyke near the Town Plot B: 3rd division #5 - 10 acres 1 - lot Marsh land in the Commonage A: 3rd Division #1 1 - out lot Kennetcook, Township of Newport being woodland approx. 125 acres. 1 - other lot of wild or woodland being near part of the township of Newport approx. 425 acres. A land grant petition in 1770 by John Gosbee, John and George Laurilliard, asked for 1500 acres (500 each) at the Northwest Arm Halifax. A note by C.Morris, Surveyor, states: 'Gosbee got his grant, but the others, John and George Laurell (sic) refused their grant.' It is not known exactly when John and family moved back to Halifax, or whether he did take up residence on the above mentioned property, but it is known that he did have brew shops on Argyle St. and Grafton St. in Halifax. During his lifetime, John Gosbee accumulated much property and other assets. The Nova Scotia newspaper of the day - The Gazette - offered advertising columns, and John Gosbee, on Grafton St, advertised his brewery in 1772. John's death occurred in 1777. He wife, Elizabeth was the executrix and his brother-in-law, George Laurilliard was one of the bondsment. His will is dated 7 Apr 1777. He left to his 'Daughter Sarrah Webb' one shilling, the rest to his wife Elizabeth Gosbee for the care of his two 'infant (under the legal age) children, John and Susanna. The settlement of his estate involved selling off much of his assets, although his family retained a house and lot in Halifax. Some of the assets that were sold at public auction included: 'Brew House, stable, utensils and the lotts of Land enclosed with a fence about it'. (it goes on and on) Elizabeth Gosbee sold off other land in the years to come. Several other transactions were recorded. In 1781 she sold a lot on Grafton St, Letter E #1 Ewers Division with dwelling house and all other buildings, to Richard Kidston for 100 lbs. There is a record of a court case involving Elizabeth and her brother, George Laurilliard, Shipwritht, in Dec 1777. It is not clear whether this is involved with the settlement of John Gosbee's estate. Perhaps George Laurilliard owed money to John (on 20 Sept 1773), John Gosbee sold a lot of land and a house on Grafton St, Halifax to him) and this was a necessary action to settle the estate? The date is so close to that of John's death in 1777. Regardless, Elizabeth won the case, receiving 20 lbs., damages worth 35 lbs, a house in Grafton St was attached 'KNOWN BY THE SIGN OF THE BACCHUS'. Elizabeth was referred to as a 'mantua maker'. She no doubt learned this trade from her father, Jean-Christophe Laurilliard, who was a tailor, as were other of his descendants. Elizabeth died in Dec 1799.
