Context paragraphs:
Shakespeare Jubilee: The Shakespeare Jubilee was staged in Stratford-upon-Avon between 6–8 September 1769.  The jubilee was organised by the actor and theatre manager David Garrick to celebrate the Jubilee of the birth of William Shakespeare, although it was in 1616 when he died.  It had a major impact on the rising tide of bardolatry that led to Shakespeare becoming established as the English national poet.  Thomas Arne composed the song "Soft Flowing Avon" for the Jubilee.

Multiple citizenship: Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship or multiple nationality or dual nationality, is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states.  There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other.  Multiple citizenship arises because different countries use different, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, criteria for citizenship.  Colloquial speech refers to people "holding" multiple citizenship but technically each nation makes a claim that this person be considered its national.

Mount Denson, Nova Scotia: The area first became known to Europeans in the sixteenth century as the river now known as the Avon appears on maps from this period.  By 1686 Jean-Baptiste-Louis Franquelin's map of Acadia/Nova Scotia defines the area, showing the local tributaries flowing into the Avon River.  One of these tributaries, the Cacaquit or modern day Halfway River, which now forms the northern boundary of the community, is indicated on the map.  By 1680 Acadian farmers had migrated out of the Port Royal area and began settling the eastern end of the Annapolis Valley including the lands about Mount Denson, then known as Pisiquit.  Census records indicate Etienne Rivet was one of the first settlers to establish a farm.  He and his progeny farmed the nearby marshlands south of Mitchener's Point as well as those in the Cacaquit River valley.  His son, Etienne, operated a mill on the Cacaquit near where the river meets the uplands, just beyond the southern boundary of today's town of Hantsport.  By the 1690s Mount Denson was incorporated into the Acadian parish of Paroisse de Sainte Famille (established in 1698).  When the Expulsion of the Acadians began in 1755 the area's male residents were detained at Fort Edward and later in the fall deported along with their families from the province.
