• Notes

  "James Albert was convinced that there was an unclaimed fortune in England waiting to be claimed by the descendants of Elizabeth Hawksworth (nee Wedgewood)." "In all fairness to James Albert, there were other descendants of Elizabeth Wedgewood, namely the Bowlbys and Hawksworths (see the Moore genealogy) in Nova Scotia who were similarly convinced. However, James Albert took it upon himself to represent the Moores in this matter. Starting in 1879 and continuing until 1914, there is a file of letters in the Moore Archives wherein he corresponded with his uncles, aunts and cousins, soliciting funds and genalogical information in one effort after another which never appeared to be successful. However, it did result in the accumulation of genealogical information that has made the writing ofthis journal considerably easier." The writer assumes that this alleged fortune would be related to the famous company of Wedgewood China. See the Moore genealogy for the name Wedgewood.
