The Nevens in the name comes from his mother's mother.

When David and Mary married, both were "of Canning" (Parish) in Queens County, New Brunswick. Witnesses were Samuel S. Wood and David Cypher. Marriage MAY have actually taken place on the 30th, as have valid records for both dates. It was liste d in the New Brunswick Courier on 9-Aug-1845 as taking place on the 29th.

Almost missed this family in the 1861 Census for Cambridge, as they and some other Hanselpacker families were listed as "Hansel" only. Not sure why, as all other Census records cover them as Hanselpackers.
