Biographical History
First British governor of Nova Scotia, 1710-1712, 1715-1717.
Vetch, a Scotsman by birth, came to America in 1699 and settled first in New York, later removing to Boston. After some years in border trade, Vetch offered his plan of conquest to a Whig Ministry which empowered him to carry it out. In 1710 the expedition under Nicholson and Vetch effected the Capture of Port Royal and Acadia.
Samuel Vetch and Francis Nicholson were actively engaged in the military conquest of Nova Scotia during Queen Anne's War, 1702-1713.
During the spring of 1709 a joint attack against Port Royal, Nova Scotia was proposed, but the expedition was aborted due to the lack of sufficient supplies and troops.
