Johann Friedrich Heison was the son of Johannes Heison / Heuson who was from Wenings, Grafschaft (Countship of) Isenberg-Birstein. Review of the Wenings parish records indicates that Johann Friedrich Heison was not born or baptized in that parish. The parish records of the Evangelische Pfarramt Hering (the Lutheran parish office at Hering) state that Johannes Heison / Heuson was a Tuchmacher (cloth-maker) and was a Bürger (citizen) of Wenings. Johannes Heison / Heuson and his wife has several children at Wenings between 1698 anf 1705. His eldest son Wolf Ernst Heuson was the school master at Niederklingen, Kur-Pfalz which is a neighbouring town to Hering, Kur-Pfalz. Johann Friedrich Heison, who resided at Hering, is listed in the parish records as a Strumpweber (stocking weaver).
Das Hauptgesprächsthema diese Jahres aber dürfte der Abgang des Friedrich Heison nach Neuschottland gewesen sein. Heison war seit mindestens 1738 Bürger des Städtschens Hering gewesen, einer der weniger Vermögenden, der nur 29 kr monatlich an Schatzungsgeld veranlagt werden. In Jahre 1751 machen Religionsflüchtlinge aus Salzburg in Darmstadt Station und suchen um eine Beihilfe für die Weiterreise nach Nordamerika nach. Wie Friedrich Heison zu ihnen stößt und was ihn veranlaßt, mit ihnen fortzugehen, ist nicht bekannt. (This year, however, the Friedrich Heison's departure to Nova Scotia might have been the main theme. Since at least 1738, Heison had been a citizen of the town of Hering, one of the less wealthy, who is assessed only 29 kr per month. In 1751 religious refugees from Salzburg arrived in Darmstadt seeking aid for the further journey to North America. It is not known how or why Friedrich Heison meets them, and what prompts him to join them.)
Johann Friedrich Heison, his wife and four of his seven children left Hering in 1751 and came to Halifax, Nova Scotia as part of the British sponsored programme to settle the province with Protestants. They came across the Atlantic on the ship Murdoch. On the passenger list of the Murdoch, he is listed as a farmer from the Palatinate. The Murdoch fell down the Rhine from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, the point of embarkation, to the port town of Hellevoetsluis on 22 June 1751 [New Style or N.S.], left Hellevoetluis on 25 June 1751 [N.S.], and arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia in September 1751. It appears that the passengers disembarked at Halifax on 19/30 September 1751 [Old Style or O.S./N.S.] (Bell, Winthrop. The ‘Foreign Protestants’ and the Settlement of Nova Scotia, p. 199). Like the majority of the foreign Protestant settlers, Friedrich Heison was indebted to the Crown for his passage to Nova Scotia. His debt was for three freights, two adults and two children [not including infants which were free], at fl. 212.12.8 plus a cash loan of fl. 12.0.0. (Bell’s Register, N.S.A.R.M.., MG 1, vols. 109-111). One freight was fl. 75.12.0 or £6.17.6 at the contemporary rate of exchange (Bell, ‘Foreign Protestants’, p. 261.). The passengers from the Murdoch were settled at the blockhouse on the Halifax isthmus where they were employed building a stockade across the isthmus to pay their debt. They remained at the isthmus until they were removed to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in the spring of 1753 (Bell, ‘Foreign Protestants’, p. 356). Friedrich Heison appears on list of residents of Halifax in July 1752. He is listed as labourer at the blockhouse and the isthmus. The Heison family consisted of two males above age 16, one female above age 16, and two females under age 16. He and the family appear on the victualling list for August to October 1752 as Frederick, Anna Catherina 1st, John Philip, Anna Catherina 2nd, and Anna Elizabeth Heison. Frederick, Anna Catherina and John Philip Heison appear on the Compassionate Victualling List of February to April 1753. The list included provisions for the children although they were not listed (Bell’s Register).
The Heysons were among the settlers who were sent out from Halifax to found the township of Lunenburg in June 1753. Frederick Heison appears on the Return of Arms of Lunenburg in December 1753. He is listed as residing in Strasburger’s Division which were the blocks between Prince and Hopson Streets. In the July 1754 return of divisions, he is listed as residing at Strasburger’s Division, lot C-11 (Bell’s Register). Lot C-11 was on Cumberland Street and was 40 feet wide along the street and 60 feet in depth (Bell, ‘Foreign Protestants’, p. 431). Presumably Friedrich Heison received a garden lot when they were given to the settlers in August or September 1753; however, there is no mention of it in the existing records. The garden lots were located just east of the town lots and the east commons.
Johann Friedrich Heyson received his first 30-acre lot in the land lottery of 1753-54. His 30-acre lot was located at Mahone Bay range C, lot 10. The Heison family were among the first settlers of Mahone Bay. Livestock was distributed to the settlers in the fall of 1754. Friedch Heison was paired with Conrad Knöchell (Knickel) and received one cow and one sheep. In June 1755 Friedrich, Anna Catherina, John Philip, Anna Feronica, and Anna Elizabeth Heison appear on the victualling list, numbers 535-39. Fredk, Catha, Feronica, Phillip, and Eliza Heyson appear on the victualling list for February to May 1756, numbers 592-96. Friedrich Heison may have participated in the cattle expedition to Grand Pré at Minas Basin. Frederick, Catherina, Feronica, Philip, and Elizabeth Heison appear on the victualling list for January to May 1757. As every other settler, the Heysons received seven pounds of bread and flour, one pound of beef and one pound of pork per person each week from 24 January to 20 March 1757. From 21 March to 15 May 1757 the rations were reduced to seven pounds of flour per person each week (NSARM, RG 1, vol. 222, Victualling Lists, nos. 589-93). The Heysons remained the victualling list for an extended period of time because of Indian harassment during the Seven Years’ War prevented them and other settlers from farming their 30 acre farm lots. After 1757 the Heysons and other settlers were able to return to their lands because the Indian harassment ceased.
The registry of 30-acre lots in 1760 shows that Fredk Hyson owned a lot at Mahone Bay, C-10. In 1763 several tracts of 300-acre lots were surveyed and distributed by lottery. Friedrich Heison participated in the second land lottery on 7 November 1763. He received a 300-acre lot in the Third Division, lot G-2. The settlers did not have ‘de jure’ or legal ownership of their land until the township grant was finally given on 30 June 1784. The township grant confirmed the ownership of the land that was given through the various lotteries. At the time the town, garden and 30-acre lots were granted in 1753-54, the settlers were not yet British subjects. They had not been in Nova Scotia for seven years which was the residence period before naturalization could be conferred. Only British subjects could legally own land. The Heisons were probably naturalized after October 1758. Friedrich Heison does not appear on the township grant. He may have owned land which went unrecorded on the grant or had sold or given his land to his son or sons-in-law.
Friedrich Heison appears on the 1770 Nova Scotia census (Lunenburg, p. 5). The household consisted of two people: one man and one woman. He owned one ox/bull, one cow, one young neat cattle and one swine. His farm produced 10 bushels of rye, one bushel of pease [sic], 10 bushels of barley and five bushels of oats.

Maria Barbara Nill was from Lambertheim, Kur-Pfalz which is located on the Rhein River about 55 kilometres southwest of Otzberg. It is known from the parish records that Hans Casper Juncker was a civilian attached to the garrison at the fortress of Otzberg as a Büchsenmeister oder Geschützmeister [‘Constabler’ or artilleryman].
