An Everett Family

An Irish gent joined our family around 1832 in Colchester Co, Nova Scotia when George Everett married our Sarah Vincent, the daughter of George Vincent & Mary Higgins.  Together they had 2 children, Philip and Mary.  

Philip married Kitty Creighton and was a farmer like his father.  Philip and Kitty had 7 children.

Philip's one and only son, George William Everitt, was a tinsmith and he left Nova Scotia for New York where he met and married an Irish lass by the name of Jennie McCretton in 1893.  They raised a family of 5 children in the Richmond Co area.

George W's 3rd child, Philip Vincent Everitt, was born in 1898 in New York City and he married Agnes McGill and had 4 children. After her death in 1931, he married Blanche Barcas.

Philip was in the shipping business, specifically he was a merchant marine and eventually became VP of the State Marine Corporation in NY (a 'merchant marine' is the name of the civilians who are in the business of shipping cargo and people by boat on the various waterways of the world).
