By 1764 Elisha was one of the original proprietors in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

As early as 1769 he lived in Argyle, NS., when it was known as "Abutuck".

Simeon Perkins wrote him a letter in March 1781 asking

to buy his 12 acre lot in Liverpool. (M-2) On August 28, 1786,

Eliphas' children made over to their brother, Hugh, all their father's real estate in Argyle.

After the expulsion of the Acadians, the British Government was anxious

to attract settlers to the lands they had vacated.

In 1758 Gov. Lawrence issued a proclamation and offered immigrants transportation,

free farms, and partial support until their crops were under way.

Cape Cod fishermen were accustomed to this area where fish were plenty,

and found the offer very tempting.

Also a number of Cape Cod men had become acquainted

with the area through their military service there.

Families from all along the eastern shores of Massachusetts

accepted the terms, and from 1760 to 1763

over fifty families from Chatham alone emigrated to that region -

primarily to Liverpool and Barrington.

The History of Chatham (A) lists those who went in 1760.

Nickersons included were Ebenezer Jr., Jonathan, Elkanah, Daniel,

Nathan, William 3rd, James, Elisha and Elisha, Jr.to Liverpool;

Caleb, Prince, Richard and Joshua, brothers, Eldad and Stephen,

half-brothers to Barrington References: A. D. F.vols. 5,33 I. (Doane Genealogy) C-2. E-2. M-2.
