Canadian politician From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shubael Dimock (c. 1753 – July 14, 1834) was a political figure in Nova Scotia. He represented Newport Township in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1793 to 1799 and from 1826 to 1830; later, he represented Hants County from 1799 to 1820.[1][2]
Dimock was born in Mansfield, Connecticut, the son of Shubael Dimock and Eunice Marsh.[1][2] Dimock moved to Nova Scotia with his father in 1759, where the elder Dimock moved to escape religious persecution because of his involvement in the Separate Baptists.[2] Like his father, Dimock also became a preacher; he also served as a magistrate.[1]
Dimock was married twice.[1][2][3] His first marriage, to Susan Macumber, produced six children.[2][3] Shubael and Susan's fourth child, Ichabod, also served as a member of the provincial assembly.[1][2] Dimock's second marriage, to Grace Irish, resulted in one son.[2][3]
