History
Richard Black Huestis was a merchant in Wallace, Nova Scotia, and a boat-builder; many of the ships built in Wallace were sent to either Newfoundland or Great Britain. Sometime around 1861 he moved to Amherst, Nova Scotia, where he took over his father-in-law's farm, and was also a prominent merchant.
