Recipes from this collectionLoyalist Henry Nase of Dover, New York kept his diary from the day of his 1776 enlistment in King's American Regiment until 1797, after he had settled in New Brunswick. The two recipes appear between the entries for 19 December 1785 and 22 March 1786. According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, Nase contracted to build at least one house, for the Major John Coffin under whom he had served. Nase eventually settled in Westfield at the mouth of the Nerepis River, where he became lieutenant colonel of the local militia and there now operates a ferry that carries his name.

Recipes from this collectionDated 1779-1833, the Manuscript Notebook of Sarah Creighton Wilkins is located in the MacDonald Family Fonds held at the Nova Scotia Public Archives. The majority of the dated recipes may be from 1810-1820, yet it is clear that much of the collection was at least devised if not compiled before 1800. Of the Notebook's nearly 100 recipes, over two-thirds are medical, while the remainder encompass the categories of "household" and "cosmetic" as well as the expected food and drink. Significant not only in the variety of its offerings, the Notebook comprises the most substantial recipe collection attributed to an early modern Maritime woman and, though many of its entries were passed along by family and friends, it is possible that some were devised by Wilkins herself. Typically for the period, location, and genre, Wilkins' Notebook further attests to the migration of goods and knowledge in referring to London newspapers and locations, to English physicians and surgeons, and to ingredients from Europe, Africa, and Asia as well as the Americas.
