Rev. James Waddell

Born 24 May 1805 at Truro NS.

Like his father, James became a Presbyterian minister.

Married Elizabeth Blanchard (1819-1897) on 28 Sep 1837 at Pictou.

Rev. James Waddell and his wife Elizabeth Blanchard were first cousins. There was a lot of intermarriage among the Waddell, Blanchard and Archibald families of Nova Scotia because, according to family legend, "no one else was good enough".

Died 14 March 1870 at Halifax. He is buried at Robie Street Cemetery in Truro.
