1851 Census - Sophiasburgh, Prince Edward

spacezebra — 2009-07-02 02:54:20Z

Does anyone know if there is 1851 Census information for Sophiasburgh Twp, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada? Can't find it on ancestry.com but not sure if its an error on ancestry's part or if this information is missing and no longer available. Looking for Big Island families. Searching for John Williams (b. 1830 -- not the son of Caleb Williams), believe to be from Sophiasburgh.

Hi,

I am actually searching for a Williams family in Prince Edward, Ont and your Morden names are similar. I have a John Norman Williams (b. 1830). Believe he was from Big Island, Prince Edward, Ontario. He married a Zerada Mabel Moran also from Big Island. Their son was Daniel Norman Williams. If this matches anything, please contact me, have more to share. Thanks, Derek Green genealogy@thegreenfamily.com

They would have been married before government registration began. Church records are a possible source.

Unfortunately his death registration doesn't list his parents.

Henry Ferguson, died 9 Jun 1891, 84 yrs, farmer, b Prince Edward, died of dyspepsia/3 wks, Methodist, Chatham Tsp, Kent County, Registration # 007452.

This is a bit of a long shot as Ferguson is a fairly common name.
This is from Athol Prince Edward County 1851 Agricultural Census.
Henry Ferguson, Concenssion 1, Part lot of 19
Roger/Rogell Ferguson, Concesstion, Part lot of 19
Israel Ferguson, Concession 1, part lot 26

This seems to be the only part of the 1851 census that survived for that area. roger

Found this but there really isn't much information on it. Same area of Ontario as Prince Edward County. Both were hives of UEL.

Re: Sayers Family of Picton

tedd11 — 2009-04-08 23:00:28Z

Good evening, Scott -

My great grandfather, William D. Sayers, emigrated to the U.S. (Philadelphia) from County Donegal, Ireland sometime in the late 1800s. Letters that I have to him and his wife, Caroline (Carrie) from his family in Ireland in the 1890s reveal that he had a brother that lived in Picton at that time. His other siblings, Fannie, Matilda, Cassie, John, Luke and Thomas were still in Ireland, along with their parents, John & Martha (Campbell) Sayers.

Our possible connection could be through your great grandfather, James Sayers, who could be my William D Sayers' brother. However, I do believe that there were two James Sayers living in the Picton area in the 1890s. I have not been able to confirm that either of them are the brother of my great grandfather.

An Interesting Black Court Case

thedewar — 2009-03-17 03:46:17Z

Case Name:
Black v. Black
[1862] O.J. No. 285
9 Gr. 403
Upper Canada Court of Chancery
Spragge V.C.
1862.
(23 paras.)
Agreement to devise — Specific performance — Re-hearing — Practice.
The owner of real estate having become greatly enfeebled, and unable to wait upon himself, offered to his son that if he would relinquish his own farm, and come to reside with the father, and take care of him during his life, that he would give the farm upon which he (the father) was resident to the son. To this proposal the son acceded, and removed with his family to the residence of the father, who it was alleged subsequently made a will, devising the property to the son; but after his decease no trace of any will could be discovered, nor was there any satisfactory account given of it. Held, that there had been sufficient part performance to take the case out of the statute; and the court ordered the heirs-at-law of the father to join in conveying the property to the son.

Where a cause is re-heard by some of several defendants, and the court affirms the decree as against them, the other defendants who did not re-hear cannot obtain any relief, although they appear on the re-hearing and ask it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 The bill in this case was filed on the 7th of September, 1858, by William Black, against Charles Black, John Black, William Trader, and Isabella his wife, and others, setting forth that the late John Black, of Sophiasburg, the father of the plaintiff and the defendants Charles and John, had advanced and settled in life the said two defendants, by conveying to each real estate, consisting of farms of considerable value, but had never made any advancement or provision for the plaintiff, who was the youngest of the three sons, and who had remained at home working the farm of the father until upwards of thirty years old. After this plaintiff having married, removed to the township of Percy, where he purchased a farm, and settled with his family, and continued to reside there until December, 1856, when in consequence of increasing age and infirmities his father requested the plaintiff to come and reside with him, and manage his farm, the father at the same time promising and agreeing with the plaintiff, that if plaintiff did so, he would [9 Gr Page404] devise the farm to plaintiff; and that relying upon such promise and agreement of the father, the plaintiff acceded to such, his request, and thereupon, at much loss and inconvenience, left the township of Percy, and removed with his family and furniture to Sophiasburgh, and took possession of the farm occupied by his father, and entered upon the management and superintendence thereof, and continued to do so until the death of the father. The plaintiff, under these circumstances, contended that there was a part performance of the contract, sufficient to entitle him to a specific performance thereof, if even his father had not performed his part of the contract by devising the land to plaintiff. That the father died on the 19th of January, 1857, having first duly made and published his will, devising the said lands to the plaintiff, and which will was never revoked or altered. That after the death of the father the defendant Charles possessed himself of the will, and either destroyed the same or kept it suppressed. That the other defendants to the cause where the daughters of the testator, and their husbands, also several grand-children of the testator, all of whom claimed such interests in the property, so devised and agreed to be conveyed, as they would respectively have been entitled to had the testator died intestate. Under these circumstances the bill prayed that the will might be established against the defendants; or that the agreement between the plaintiff and his father might be specifically performed and carried into effect, and the defendants ordered to convey to the plaintiff.

2 The defendants Charles and John answered jointly, admitting the will of their father, as stated in the bill; but alleging that the same had been destroyed by the testator, who alleged that he had done so in consequence of the plaintiff having left the testator without any one to take care of him. They also set up laches by the plaintiff in filing the bill, and denied the destruction or suppression of the will by Charles, as charged in the bill. [9 Gr Page405] The other defendants also answered the bill, taking substantially the same grounds of defence as alleged by Charles and John.

3 The plaintiff having put the cause at issue by filing replication, evidence was taken therein before his Honour V.C. Spragge. One of the witnesses - Moran - called by the plaintiff, in his evidence swore that whilst driving with the defendant Charles, in his sleigh, they talked of the homestead, and of Storm, the tenant; "I asked him what share of the rent William got? He said, 'Just what I have a mind to give him;' I said, 'What has become of the will, Charles?' he said, 'That is best known to myself, I have taken care of that.'" Another witness - Gilbert - in the course of his evidence, stated that it had been reported that the testator had destroyed the will, and that he "asked Charles if such was the fact, he said it was not; he said he was not in a capacity to do so; that he could not see or go about to keep himself. Charles said he had himself taken care of the will." The effect of the evidence generally is sufficiently set forth in the judgment.

4 Mr. Mowat, Q.C., and Mr. Taylor, for the plaintiff.

5 Mr. C. Patterson for defendants.

6 For the plaintiff, it was contended, that as the will set out in the bill was admitted by the defendants John and Charles, who in the event of intestacy would be equally interested with such of the defendants as do not make that admission, the devise was sufficiently established as against all, and it would be presumed that the will had been properly executed, although only one of the witnesses, Storm, was now alive to give evidence; on the principle of omnia praesumunter rite acta. The evidence shews that the will was understood by all to have been duly executed, and the defendants, although they allege, do not prove any revocation of it, and clearly the onus of such proof [9 Gr Page406] was on them. And if revoked at all, it was so at the instance and through the persuasion of Charles; and he, it is shewn, has made statements altogether at variance with the fact of a revocation by the testator; the evidence of Moran and Gilbert is distinct upon this point; besides it would have been an actual wrong for the testator to have revoked the will; the presumption therefore would be against such wrongful act.

7 But admitting that the actual devise is not sufficiently established, then an agreement to devise is clearly proved, and the agreement has been partly performed; so far as the plaintiff is concerned, to the full extent by his leaving his own farm, and coming to reside with the father, and manage his affairs, and on the part of the father, by an actual execution of his will. This, therefore, is a proper case in which to enforce specific performance of the contract, although it is to devise lands.

8 On behalf of the defendants, it was insisted that the evidence did not prove that the requirements of the statute as to the execution of wills had been complied with; and the evidence as to the will ever having been admitted by Charles is not distinct. Moran's evidence shews that it must have been one or two years after the father's death, and it was improbable that Charles, after difficulties had arisen, would have made any such admissions as are to be sworn to by Moran. And admitting the correctness of his evidence, the language attributed to Charles is ambiguous; and Gilbert does not prove any express admission of the will. It was admitted that an agreement to devise may be enforced, but the part performance shewn here was not such as to entitle plaintiff to a decree, any more than payment of purchase money would create such a right. Besides the father stipulated for, and his object in making the arrangement was to have, the personal attendance of plaintiff and his family; this was not afforded, and plaintiff was bound either to give such [9 Gr Page407] attendance or abandon the contract. Under all the circumstances appearing, the only decree the court ought to make was to dismiss the bill.

9 Leach v. Bates, [6 Notes of cases, 699] Jarmin on Wills, [Vol. 1, p. 79] Goilmere v. Battison, [1 Ver. 48] Dufour v. Pereira, [1 Dick. 419] Lord Walpole v. Lord Orford, [3 Ves. 402] DeBeil v. Thompson, [3 Beav. 469] Fry on Spec. Per. secs. 385-6-7, were amongst other authorities referred to by counsel.

10 SPRAGGE V.C.:-- The plaintiff's case is rested on two grounds. The one, that he is entitled to the land in question by contract, of which he asks in substance the specific performance. The other, that he is entitled to the same land by the will of the late owner John Black.

11 The plaintiff is a son of the late John Black; the defendants John and Charles Black are also his sons, the other defendants being also descendants of the same John Black. The land in question was the homestead of the father. The mother died in December, 1856; the father was then, and had been for some two years previously, paralytic, and almost entirely helpless. None of his sons or daughters were living with him; and after the death of the mother it was debated among some members of the family how the old man should, for the rest of his life be cared for, and attended to; and the name of the plaintiff appears to have been suggested. He was a married man with a family, and was living at the time some fifty odd miles from his father, and was engaged in getting out timber, having teams and about fifteen men employed.

12 The alleged contract between the plaintiff and his father was, that the plaintiff should go and live upon the [9 Gr Page408] homestead with his family, and should manage the farm, and take care of his father as long as he lived; and that the father on his part should leave the homestead to him by will. It is alleged that the father offered these terms to the plaintiff by writing, and that he accepted and acted upon them; but the writing, if there was any, is not before me. The plaintiff goes, failing the writing, upon parol contract partly performed.

13 Early in the January following his mother's death, the plaintiff removed with his family to the homestead. The agreement could not be immediately carried out in all its parts, by reason of the homestead being let to a tenant by the name of Storm, who with a son and daughter occupied the same house as John Black; but it was expected that Storm could be induced to leave, and as it was winter that part of the arrangement was not immediately pressing. The other parts of the arrangement seem to have been carried out, at least up to a certain date; what was to be done by the plaintiff was done, and the father on his part executed, or professed to execute a will of the homestead in favour of the plaintiff. Upon this part of the case it is not material whether there was any due execution of the will or not.

14 I think what was done by the plaintiff were acts of such a nature as to take the case out of the statute, and to admit evidence of what the contract really was. Foster v. Hall, [3 Ves. 696, 712] Dale v. Hamilton. [5 Hare, 369. 381] There is no doubt upon the evidence that the agreement was as I have stated it.

15 The father lived but a short time after this. The family came down about the 8th of January, and the father died on the 19th of the same month. It is not contended, nor could it be, that the very short period during which the plaintiff and his family were called upon [9 Gr Page409] to perform their part of the bargain, is any reason against their being entitled to the performance of the other side of the bargain; but it is alleged that even during that short period the plaintiff failed to perform his agreement.

16 On Sunday, the 11th of January, he left the homestead, temporarily, as it would appear, and went to the place where he had been getting out timber; there was nothing unreasonable in this, especially as he had been called suddenly, and as the evidence shows, unexpectedly, to take charge of his father, and the place; nor did his father complain of it; he merely observed that William, had gone up to Percy to see about his business, and that he expected him back on Wednesday night. When about to leave, William requested his brother Charles to write to him in case of their father getting worse; he did get worse in the night of the following Friday; Charles did not write to the plaintiff, or in any way notify him; the father died on the following Monday; and the plaintiff did not return till after his death.

17 The more serious complaint of breach of the plaintiff's agreement, is in respect of the acts of the plaintiff's wife. I think the plaintiff responsible for them though absent; his agreement being that he and his family should reside with, and take care of his father. The question is, whether her absence, with that of her children, was justifiable.

18 The father was of an irritable, suspicious, and violent temper, and intemperate in his habits; the excuse offered for leaving him is, that his conduct drove her from the house. On the Monday, the day after the plaintiff left, the old man missed some money, and said that the plaintiff had taken it. His wife became enraged at this, as one of the witnesses says, and said she could not live there; it would break her heart. The old man also used bard language to herself; his own account of it was, that "he [9 Gr Page410] had scolded and jawed her more than he ought to have done." He told her also that he had destroyed the will. She left the house, and unfortunately went to the house of Charles Black. The father soon discovered that no money had been taken; and he sent messages to her by three or four different persons requesting her to return. She was told that the will had not been burned; and that it was discovered that no money had been taken. I think from the evidence that she would have returned but for the treacherous advice and remarks of Charles and his wife. She did not, however, return until Saturday, after the father had become seriously ill; and was then treated with.harshness by the old man. On the Monday, when the plaintiff's wife left, a sister of the old man was in the house; she left the same evening. On Tuesday and Wednesday a son and daughter of the plaintiff were at the house attending to the wants of the old man, so I gather from the evidence. With these exceptions, he had to depend on a son and daughter of the tenant, who attended to him.

19 It would no doubt have been much better if the plaintiff's wife had borne with the irritability and harsh language, and even the imputation against her husband's honesty, or to have returned when he found his accusations unfounded, that the will was not destroyed, (as I am satisfied it was not at that time,) and that he wished her to come back; but there is much to excuse her. One cannot blame her for her indignation at the imputation on her husband's honesty; and she might well withhold belief as to the will not being destroyed; for the assertion that it was not burned was an assertion that he had untruly asserted that it was; and certainly, if her absence was prolonged somewhat longer than it might have been, there appears to have been only one day, or at least two, without some meet her of the family being with the old man, and it was his own violence and unjust suspicions that occasioned her absence at all; and during her absence he had the same attendance that he had [9 Gr Page411] between his wife's death and the arrival of the plaintiff and his family. There is no indication of an intention on the part of the plaintiff to do otherwise than faithfully perform his part of the agreement. His wife would naturally look for his return from day to day; and the early death of the old man was not looked for; and the bedding and furniture of the plaintiff and his family do not appear to have been removed from the homestead; so that all that can be urged against the plaintiff is the temporary withdrawal of his wife without his cognisance, and that provoked by the old man himself. As regards the defendants, they are of course in the same position as the father would have been if he could have been defendant; in the same position as it he had lived, and refused after what had occurred to carry out the agreement.

20 It is not suggested that the agreement was not a fair and just one under the circumstances; or that it is one not proper to be enforced in this court. Goilmere v. Battison, Dufour v. Pereira, recognised in Lord Walpole v. Lord Orford, and DeBeil v. Thompson, are authorities on this point. I think therefore that supposing no will properly executed, or if executed, cancelled by the testator, the plaintiff is still entitled to a decree upon the grounds that I have stated.

21 With regard to the will itself. I do not think upon the whole of the evidence that it is proved to have been cancelled by the testator. But I doubt whether there is sufficient proof of its execution so as to pass real estate. The only evidence upon the point is that of Wm. Storm, a subscribing witness. He proves the execution of the will by Black, audits attestation by himself; and that the gentleman by whom it was drawn - Mr. Stevenson - since deceased, was present at its execution, but he does not know that Mr. Stevenson witnessed the will. If the will were produced, with the names of Storm and Mr. Stevenson, or some other subscribing witness, the court [9 Gr Page412] might properly, I think, under the cases, presume that it was duly executed, even though the attestation clause were imperfect. The cases seem to have gone that length. But here the will is not forthcoming, so that there is nothing upon the view of which we can assume that it was done as it purports to have been done; and there is no proof in any shape of execution in the presence of more than one witness. I find in the note to Mr. Jarman's excellent treatise on Wills, by Wolstenholm and Vincent, this passage; "The presumption of compliance with the statutory requirements, however, will only be made when the will appears on the face of it to have been duly executed, or when (the will being lost) proper evidence is adduced of its having been so executed; and the testator's own declarations of the fact are insufficient." I quote from the text, because the authority for the last proposition - Swaby & Tristram - is not in the library. For the other point, that when the will is lost, proper evidence must be produced of its having been executed in accordance with the statutory requirements, cases are referred to where a lost will has been admitted to probate upon such evidence, not where the question was, whether the will could be admitted to probate upon less evidence.

22 There is much in the evidence to show that if the will has been destroyed, it has been by Charles Black, and that the maxim omnia presumunter contra spoliatorem would apply as against him, and consequently, that the will might properly be established against him; and I am not prepared to say that the answer of John and Charles Black does nut, as against themselves, sufficiently admit the will. But if so, it would enable me to make almost a decree, as against their interest in the property in question. I think upon the first point the plaintiff is entitle to a decree as to the whole.

23 The decree is to be, as against Charles Black, with costs; as against the other adult defendants, without [9 Gr Page413] costs. The infants are entitled to their costs, and the plaintiff should have them over against Charles.

Margaret HALL b1872 East Indies, in Belleville, Ontario - Mystery

ChelseaPilot — 2009-03-28 19:19:44Z

My paternal Grand Aunt Margaret HALL (b 18 May 1872, Bengal East Indies) last appears on the 1901 UK census in Leeds, England. She then "disappears".

Her brother, Leo Daniel HALL (b22 Jan 1888 Sheffield, England) may provide a clue.

On 16th November 1916, Leo Daniel HALL joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force, signing on in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. At the time, he gave his profession as baker, and had served 13 years in the 65th Foot (Yorks & Lancs) Regiment.

My family has no previous connection, to my knowledge, with Canada. I have no idea how or why Leo Daniel travelled to Canada, or specifically how he found himself in Belleville in 1916. He subsequently survived the Great War and then married in Accrington, Lancashire, where he is buried.

A possible theory is that he went to Belleville because that is where Margaret HALL had moved to. This is conjecture on my part.

I am hoping that sks could help me look for a potential marriage for a Margaret HALL (born India) between 1901 and 1916. This would then confirm both her presence in Ontario, and help put some of the pieces into place. I would also welcome any other input/suggestions to resolve this mystery.

Re: Sharp family

OnesanNessa — 2009-04-23 17:41:45Z

I neglected to mention one child of Darius Hamilton Crippen and Elizabeth Ripley - John. He married first Matilda Dorland Owens, second Nancy Jane Baird.

I should also mention that the Crippen name is found in a variety of forms in the historical records. My Eleanor Crippen was listed as Eleanor Griffin in her marriage record. I've also seen it Grippen, Crippin, Cripin,etc.

Re: Sharp family

OnesanNessa — 2009-04-22 21:25:14Z

Don't know if you will get this, but I show Lodema Crippen is the daughter of Darius Hamilton Crippen and Elizabeth Ripley. Other siblings were: Electa Ann and David (named for Darius' granparents David Crippen and Electa Hopkins). Darius married three times: first to Elizabeth Ripley, second to Lydia M. Thrall (widow), and third to Bridget Ivers.

Darius was the son of Ashabel Crippen and Catherine Ferguson. I am a descendant of Darius' sister Eleanor, who married William G. Mowerson. It has been a challenge to research this family. Ashabel (and possibly Darius) could not read or write, so this led to his name having a lot of variations: Ashall, Ashbel, Archibald, even Ashphodel, Ashbert, etc.

Charlotte married George Ferdinand Bull (b. abt 31 May 1811-1813 Dutchess County New York USA-died 11 March 1905 Alton Ontario).

George's parents were Josiah (III)(b. 1783 d.1866 Bloomfield Prince Edward county) & Sarah Cunningham (b.1796)

There is quite a lot of information on the internet about Josiah & Sarah & children- but little information showing George F as their oldest son?? So I would like to confirm George's birth if possible?

I think Josiah Bull (III)& Sarah Cunningham were married about 1810 Dutchess County New York

Hello Arnold,
After 20 years, I've traced my Parr family back to Wellington in Prince Edward County, at least for a time when Joseph Erastus Parr and his wife Ruth Clemenda Bennett has a number of children: Daniel, c1826; Joseph Henry, 11-Apr-1827; Margaretha, 1831; Ruth Ann, 1832; Samuel, 1836; Corey [male}, 1836; Susan E, 1837; Erastus Charles, 1841; Theodora, 1842; Elizabetha, 1945; plus others born in Wisconsin.
I'm hoping you may have notes that will help me. I believe my ancestor Joseph Henry Parr (1817-1913) came from a fairly large family and there will be repetition of family names as I've laid out above.

I'd appreciate hearing from you or another reader for the exchange of information.

After WI, Joseph Henry Parr was in MN, MT, CA and WA in an variety of sequences. There is also an unsubstantiated rumor that he freighted from St Joseph to California from c1860 to c1880, although it appears he farmed in WI and MN. One of his brothers, Erastus, ended up in Texas.

somewhere I have a copy of The Triple Connection. Three BLACKs married three Van Cleafs. I think that's Phoebe's family. OCFA says she is buried in Glenwood Cemetery, but I can't find here.As you can see from the deposition she was alive in 1921.

On John’s death certificate there are no names for his parents.

Looking for details re: the above couple. Their daughter Elizabeth was born Dec. 29, 1851 in Pr. Ed. Co. and mararied John W. Thompson who took up residence in Belleville. This is all the info I have to go on.

I'm not sure if Henry and Elizabeth ever lived in Pr. Ed. County. This is a long shot based on the location of their daughter's birth.

Any information you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Mastin Family

bernadette203 — 2009-02-09 17:17:04Z

Yes, that sounds more realistic.But still, can't put a face to this part of the family ! Cornelius had to be born in the 1780's or 90;s. I've tried to locate Caroline's surname,
but that is almost impossible. As far as children, I have only found -Ichabod, and Minard. I feel there must have been a Cornelius and a John.Possibly a Rebecca and a Jane.
This all had to have taken place between 1815 - 1825.
A lot of these records were not kept, I feel that Caroline's surname is important .

Re: Max Dodds - Baker connections

cdlong133 — 2009-03-11 13:19:41Z

Hello, Susan

Most of the information you provided was correct. Max was my uncle, as was Hugh. Jamie was my father. Max married Dorothy rather late in life, and they lived in Gananoque. Max worked for the newspaper. He died of a heart attack in the mid 1950's, I believe. As you know, the three boys were orphaned, and lived with my great aunt, Gertie Baker, and her mother, Mary, buried in Adolphustown, along with the boys' mother. I have few photos, if you are interested. I'm not a researcher, so I won't be checking this message board for any replies. A friend, who is, notified me of your interest. So, if you wish to contact me further, you may reply to my email address, cdlong@kwic.com

Re: Mastin Family

Just to add to my previous post

Cornelius that marries Caroline is not Peter Mastin and Hannah Nelson's son,I believe this Cornelius is the one with land in 1808 an probably Peter's brother.

Peter's son Cornelius is born in 1821 and married Elizabeth Ferguson in 1848 and Hannah Lowry in 1878

Their children was

Eustastia 1851 m Robert Branscombe
John 1854
Matury J 1859
Elijah 1862 m Sarah Alley Bedell
George 1864 m Louisa W
William 1866

Also have some more names to list of unsure were coming from

Eleanor m Robert Hycks in 1806

Re: Mastin Family

nbrooks2 — 2008-12-05 00:27:25Z

I just got into this and have had lots of fun. Some stuff has been missed with the census of 1851 where a couple of the famlies are called Martin and with some other information such as Nancy that marries Cyrus Richmond. Nancy Mastin was the widow on Mynerdt who died in 1801 during a log cabin build.

Anyways this is what I have pieced together. Hoping Susan might have found some more details to share and fill in the pieces.

I really believe 4 brothers came up together along with some sisters in Rebecca and Eleanor. From the Bowerman records you get

There were several brothers of this family to come from Dutchess Co. but the names and relationship are not known to the writer. One brother, whose wife’s name was Rebecca, settled on the West Lake shore. He died in 1826, and was buried on “Bowerman’s Hill”. He was rather familiarly called “old-man” Mastin, and although buried in the Friend’s burial ground the funeral service was Methodist, and was held at the residence. This works with the 1808 census for Hallowell since Minard has died.

So my information kind of looks like this and hoping others verify my logic or fill in the pieces that I have missed. I have researched 1851 and 1881 census, marriage records for Ontario, this thread, Bowerman records and some other stuff to come up with this list

Jan Masten and Marytjen Van Keuren. They had from there will that was put up 6 boys and 3 girls and lived in New York

Johannes 1735-1800 married Madleen Swart
Matthew 1738 mar Margreit Weller
Cornelius 1740 mar Diana Weller
Elizabeth 1743 - 1900 mar. Johannes Roos
Aaron 1745 mar Rebecca Viele
Satie 1747 mar Johannes Weller
Ezekiel 1750 mar Jennetje Ronk
Marytie 1755 mar Phillip Rank
Abraham 1757 mar Cynthia Terwilliger

From this family it looks like alot of the Mastin's come to PEC. Sarah daughter of Johnannes and Madleen marries Evert Terwilliger.

Aaron had Rebecca who marries Ichabod Bowerman and have 6 children and a big line from there. Eleanor marries Issac Weeks and has 9 children and a big line in PEC also. Also have a son Myndert who married Nancy Morgan and 7 children end up in PEC with the following kids Johnathon G who married Mary Leavens, Betsy marries Benjamin Maybee, Harriet marries John Hicks, Peter Minard marries Anna Bowerman Mary Polly marries Joshua Hicks, and Minard who married Helen Van Vleck. Supp sedly Aaron and Rebecca also have Barued(Bernard) but the dates do not fit. A Catherine also in the mix for Aaron

Johnathon and Mary Leavens had these children:

John Minard 1822 marries Lydia Rose Terwilliger 1844
Sarah Jane 1825
Benjamin 1827 marries Susanna Comer1828
Daniel L 1829 marries maybe Harriet Osterhout 1831
Nancy 1831 marries Richard Hill 1839
Stephen B 1834 marries Eliza Eckert 1845
Phoebe 1836 married Wesly Doxsee
Mary E 1839 married John H Brown 1841
Lydia B 1842 married Abraham Cannon 1846
Rueben 1847 married Helen Dorland 1842
MInard marries Charlotte Miller

Minard and Helen children are

Eliza 1841
Guy Henry 1842 married Sarah A Rankin 1841
Catherine A 1845
Gilbert E 1847 married Eleanor Blakely

Also have Peter Mastin 1781(parents not confirmed) marries Hannah Nelson and children are

Cornelius married Caroline and son Ichabod 1818
Abram 1818 married Abigail Johnston 1824. Peter lives with iin 1851 ends up in Michigan
Lewis 1825

Barued 1799(parents Aaron but makes him 54 and Rebecca Viele supposedly died 1785) married Electa Knapp 1806 and had children

Amos J 1831 married Catherine Ryan 1830
Henry 1833 married Mary Jane Brown 1838
Lucy 1838
William 1840
Alpheus 1844

Peter Minard 1799 marries Anna Bowerman. This family ends up in Simcoe County and than on to Gore Bay. Children are

Israel Bowerman 1822 marries Martha Todd 1825
Nancy Ann 1825
Joseph Moses 1827 marries Hannah Louise Beardon 1835
Anne 1831 married Walter Todd 1819
Lewis 1838 married Mary M Decker 1845
Jonathon 1841 married Ellen Brown
Phoebe Jane 1841
Harriet 1845 married James Johnston 1845

John 1791 and Elizabeth 1790,. Both born in New York. Children are

Lewis 1830 married Eliza 1838(England)
Bernard 1831 married Phoebe 1833
William R 1835 married Harriet 1836
Rebecca 1836
Dexter1840 married Sarah 1842
Emmeretia 1843
Mariam 1825
Minard 1823 married Deborah Williams or Spencer 1824 children Sanger 1846 May 1856

From Alexander McDonalds bible comes these dates

Aaron Mastin b 1780. I assume the son of Aaron Mastin and Rebecca Viele. From Bowermans notes there is 3 brothers that come to Canada togehter,. Mynerdt(Minard), and maybe Peter(Hannah Nelson) and Aaron. Even though a Cornelius might be in here also)
Minard Mastin b 15 Jun 1816 Mar. Eleanor and maybe Julia Bowerman
Daniel b 1 Oct 1813
Rachel b 10 Feb 1815
John b 15 Mar 1816
Harriet b 4 Oct 1818
Susan b 12 Mar 1819
Mary b 3 May 1820
James b 3 May 1822 married Betsy
Gideon B b 30 Aug 1823 married Matilda Werden 1827
Elizabeth b 29 Aug 1826
Francis b 19 Jul 1828

That leaves alot of names found in the 1881 census and marriage records with no matches. They are

Amos 1821 married Catherine 1828y 1933(US)
Harriet Adelia 1841 married Miles Pettett 1840. Father Daniel 1810 m Sarah

Re: Almina Way m. Solomon Besonday c. 1850

TimWilson20 — 2009-01-28 01:13:10Z

In the 1900 New York census Solomon can be found in Mendon, Monroe, New York married to a fourth wife named Elizabeth. I am interested in the Besonday line because my g-g-g-grandmother was Josette Besonday (b. abt 1804) who married William Cook. One of their daughters, Hannah, married Thomas G. Wilson.
Solomon had a sister named Sarah Ann who married Mark Raymond and resided in Massena, New York. Sarah Ann Besandy can be found in the 1860 Louisville, St. Lawrence, New York census as a domestic servant to William and Josette Cook.
I am interested in knowing if anyone has any information concerning Josette Besonday or Solomon Besonday's parents.

My Grandfather, Richard Edison Rosenburgh, was born in Picton, Prince Edward County, Ontario on 28 July 1896 to parents, John Rosenburgh and Matilda Jane Johnson.

His father is George William Rosenburgh, married to Mary Ellen Davis. Other siblings (several who stayed in Picton) were Dearwood, Norma Blanche(married Angus Roger Roy Brisbin) Mary (Mazie) and Florence Ada (died in 1920 in a drowning accident).

Matilda Jane Johnson was born 29 Oct 1887 in Picton to parents William Andrew Johnson (born in 1843 in Sorrel Ridge, Charlotte, New Brunswick) and Mary Ann Mitchell (born in Hallowell Township, Prince Edward, Ontario.
William's parents were Hiram Johnson (born in 1835 in Hallowell Township - died in 1911 in Lambton, Ontario) and Ann Leader.

Mary Ann Mitchell's parents were Robert Mitchell (born in 1815 in Wereham, Norfolk, England) and Elizabeth Sophia Inkpin. They were married in St. Martins, Dorchetshire, England 4 Sep 1838.

I am looking for any information on these people as well as a listing of graves in the Glenwood Cemetery in Picton.

She later married Hiram Grannis and had a family. After he passed way in 1851 she later remarried Henry Lambert. She eventually passed away March 28, 1898 in West Lake, PE County. I have no information regarding her parents - but would love to know...

Re: Asa Weightman Ellsworth

frysk48 — 2009-02-28 20:10:59Z

Hello,

I know it has been some time since thread was posted but I found it during a search for Asa Ellsworth. I am doing some research about Asa and Rhoda Ellsworth's daughter, Marcella. She is listed in the 1870 census (Gratiot County, MI) with her parents and her two brothers, Asa and William. She is listed as 27 years old with an occupation of "housekeeper". On July 25, 1878 she married William Arnold in Missaukee County (Clam Union Twp.). Both are listed as living in Vogel Center, Missaukee County, MI. It is noted she was born in Canada. She is noted as being "Marcella Ellsworth" and "Marcella E. Rowell" on the marriage record. Apparently she was married once before thus they noted her married name and her maiden name. In the 1880 census the couple are living in Vogel Center but no children are listed. In 1884, Marcella's husband, William Arnold ( with both still living in Vogel Center, MI) murdered an old couple for their money, burning down the couple's house with the bodies in them to cover up the robbery and murders. He was convicted in 1885 of the murders and was sent to prison for life. After that there is no record that I can find regarding what happened to Marcella. Since this thread was posted have you found any other information regarding the children of Asa and Rhoda, especially Marcella?

Thanks!

Solomon G. Weeks

donnagoldkeyrealty — 2009-01-11 12:39:17Z

Solomon G. Weeks born in Canada to Canadian parents in Sept. 1857. Wife Sarah E. Weeks - obviously her married name. Married in 1881 in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. Immigrated to USA in 1890. Lived in Rochester & showed up with other Weeks men working as a carpenter & in fact lived with one of them. Was still there in 1899 which is the last date I have for the city directory. I have not been able to find out who HIS PARENTS were. The men he went with were brothers (William, Davis, Cannif Weeks) & all nearly the same age as him. He was however, not a brother or cousin that I can see. Can anyone find a death registration for him or any other info that can help me solve this problem?
Just to muddy the waters, there was another Solomon G. 1840-1870.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nora,
Thanks so much for replying.

I too couldn't find a marriage date for them.
On one record it said that Solomon had changed her maiden name at the same time as he changed his son's middle name - apparently to correct mistakes. What's interesting is that he did this after her death!!
I have his childrens names & births & some other info. If you'll e-mail me at donnagoldkeyrealty@yahoo.ca I'll have your e-mail address & I'll send them to you.
One kind sole sent me 2 excellent sites- one for newspapers in western NY & also the Rochester city directories. I'll include them in your e-mail.

Re: Solomon G. Weeks

donnagoldkeyrealty — 2009-01-13 22:50:35Z

OMG Cherryl I think you may have found him. I don't have the 1861 census. Thank you soooooo much. It's a great start for me. He would have been more like a cousin because of the ages & they all grew up together.

Believe it or not & I'm not making this up, the G. stood for Grundy from what I'm hearing on the boards. Solomon Grundy Weeks. After the old nursery rhyme. Seems like a cruel trick to play on a kid.

The head of the households on the census info you sent was actually Solomon L. Weeks. They obviously had trouble transcribing the writing. That initial also shows up on 1 of them as an I. I'll just add the J. to all the mistakes I find as I go along.

I noticed the Kemp in your name. I have Kemp's & Downs on my grandmothers side. Maybe we're distant cousins.

Again, I cannot thank you enough for all your help. These things drive me nuts when they come up & I just keep plodding til I get an answer. Thanks to you I'll sleep tonight.

Hello Art Hubbs,

You are the man who got me started on all this nonsense oh so many years ago. It's great to hear from you again.

Selim is definitely Selim. He was my great uncle & my grandfather's favourite brother. They all had wierd names & I'm being kind here.

As you are aware - we have a zillion Solomons & Isaacs in this bunch. There's also a Solomon G. who died of TB in 1870. He's buried in Consecon. I thought I had them all straight & then I found the infamous brothers in the Rochester city directory (1890-99). There with them was another Solomon G. Just what I needed. The search has been on.

I have a wealth of info about this Solomon G's family thanks to the wonderful folks on the message board. But I don't have his parents which is the most important of all. Without this I can't fit him into my tree - if he fits that is. He must, because he went to Rochester at the same time as the brothers & is a similar age & lived with them off & on.

So that's where we stand. Heeeeeeelp. If anyone can, I'd put my money on you.

Then you'll know where I am. Prescott Ont. originally from Belleville. It's a really small world.
If you run into anyone who's interested in my Weeks bunch, have them get in touch.
As for the locations, there are old maps that you can find on the net that are really fun & can show you where these places began. Then you go to Mapquest & see what they've become. It's really interesting.
Hope I'll run into you again on the boards.

Thank you so much for your post.
Complicated is not a strong enough word. Also there are very few people working on the Canadian Weeks bunch.
I was not aware of a "Grandy" family at all so thanks for giving me something else to consider.
I received a lot of messages from here & from genforum about the Grundy middle name plus all kinds of info on his family.
My Weeks bunch go back to Francis (1616-1689)so the Westchester connection is a bit farther afield from my direct line.
Just a note - Unless there are 2 of them, Oyster Bay is in Nassau County on the western shore of Long Island.
Thanks again for the info. I'll spend some time today looking into this.

Re: Solomon G. Weeks

bonny20 — 2009-02-16 14:18:12Z

Grundy may have been Grandy at one time or vice versa. I research Dean and Acker ( Ecker, Eckhart etc.) There were Dumond family in early New York that married into Grandy . The Grandy then married into my Acker family and settled in Dereham Township with an Andrew Daniel Dean.I found Solomon Grundy Weeks in a tree which said that he came from Choctaw, Mississippi but the family goes back to Oyster Bay, Westchester, New York. My sister has found info online re someone bringing settlers I believe to Ontario but coming through this Choctaw area. Also, the Weeks family married into the Westchester Dean family. It is very complicated research.

Thomas Morgan and Phebe Morgan Jinks

renoqueen — 2008-12-03 18:05:07Z

I am wondering if Thomas Morgan born 1780 Westchester, NY died 1871, PEC., is the brother of Phebe Morgan who was the wife of Richard Jinks. Phebe is also the mother of Elijah Jinks who is my direct ancestor. Family lore says Phebe (or her mother) was a a full blood Mohawk Indian from the Mohawk valley though Thomas' family tree indicates he is Welsh and Irish. Does anyone know the truth?

Re: Solomon G. Weeks

NoraMcL — 2009-01-17 16:22:32Z

Donna and Cheryl-

Interesting no marriage anywhere for Solomon and Sarah. Her maiden name was Crouter, she was Sarah Ellen sometimes seen as Helen Crouter, d/of Abraham Crouter and Sarah Ann Weese (d.of Hendrick or Henry Weese and his wife Phoebe Babcock). Another odd thing on one of the birth reg's, her name was recorded as "Sarah Helen Crouter (Cronk)"....why the Cronk name I wonder? Do you have names and dates of birth for their four children?

I tried to find something online about Solomon and Sarah in Rochester, such as obits, but no luck.

I have Maria, Johannes, Jacobus, Moses, Ida and Gerrit. Gerrit shows up in Hastings County on the 1851 census, with wife Jane and three children.
(Maria Houghtaling was probably the sister of William Houghtaling who shows up in Lennox and Addington. His son James is in Hastings at the time of the 1851 census.)

Re: Lindsay Drowning in 1894 Prince Edward County

stellap — 2008-06-03 00:08:01Z

Thanks for replying to my query.
All I have is the newspaper article, this is it. From the Auburn (NY) Bulletin 31 May 1894
DROWNING FATALITY

Picton, Ont., May 31. A sad drowning accident occurred at Smith's Bay about eight miles from Picton.
Living near Smith's Bay and in the same house were two brothers named Lindsay. David Lindsay is married and has three children; his brother was not married.
David Lindsay and his wife came to Picton and Alexander Lindsay took the children, Alfred, Charles, and Anna Louise, aged respectively 8, 12, and 13 to the bay for an afternoon's fishing.
The boat was afterwards discovered floating on the water, capsized. Search was made and four bodies were found all together in about seven feet of water.
Later on, William Ingraham, a farmer living on the shore of the bay was making inquires about his wife who had taken a fishing pole and gone to the bay for fish and had not returned.
Search was again commenced at the spot where the other bodies were recovered and Mrs. Ingraham's body was found.

I have these two brothers in my family tree, but there is no death record for Alexander or the children. Nor is there a birth record for the two boys.
Alexander & david's parents were William James & Lydia (Rogers) Lindsay.

Any ideas?

Lindsay Drowning in 1894 Prince Edward County

stellap — 2008-06-01 20:50:25Z

Hello All,
I found a newspaper article about some drownings that happened at Smith's Bay, 8 miles from Picton.
It say's that Alexander Lindsay had taken his brother's children out boating and all four of them had drowned.
One of the children named was also listed on the 1901 Census with her parents but not on the 1911 census. I can't figure this out. Also, there is no birth record for any of the other children, nor is there a death record for any of them. Has anyone ever heard about this?

Sorry, this would not be a connection. This Thompson group was solely out of Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. They spread into the Niagara Region and into the area around the south shore of Lake Simcoe.

Their orignial roots were: Winthrop Fleet > Mystic Side > Charlestown > Woburn > Brimfield > NYS [Paris and Broomside] > Ontario.

Re: Abel Thompson & Margaret Love

xxb1caez01 — 2008-02-12 07:30:23Z

If you are a Thompson researcher we may be able to assist each other.

I have the complete Thompson tree back to England. I was absent of Margaret's surname...and I thank the writer for supplying that.

[197.vi.] SOLOMON6, b. Nov. 23, 1760, Brimfield. MA and bpt. Nov. 3, 1761. Solomon died Aug. 3, 1825 in Athol/Hallowell, Prince Edward Cty, Ontario, Canada. He m. July 13, 1786; Polly (or Mary) Lynde-Smith of Liecester/Malden, MA; she being bc. 1764, Leicester/Malden [?], MA, and dying: 15 Dec. 1831 [ae c. 67]; Hallowell Twp, Ont., Canada. There were ten children.

One of which was Abel and he had a sister Lucy, who md John Waters. They have dropped off the planet. I have no information on this last line.

Lucy is a key name in this family...it harkens back to the grandmother Lucy {Lamb-Lynde} Smith of Leicester, MA, who md Nathaniel Smith of Leicester, MA.

I am presently, tracking Lucy back to her roots...as Nathaniel must have died between 1772-1784, whereupon she remarries Thomas Ellenwood of Brimfield, and in Brimfield, MA.

Re: Parents of John and William Mowerson of Sophiasburgh

A John Mowerson, 89, died 29 Jun 1901, Hastings County, widow, b Sophiasburgh, of old age. Unfortunately no parents are given on 1901 death registrations.
Maybe his obituary may have some more information on it.

On 1901 census at Tyendinaga, Hastings County, is entered as John Mowers, retired, widow, b July 6 1816. Living with Sara and George Lazier. Sarah was born 1862. I thought she may be a daughter.
The entry above John could be a Philip Mowerson, b 1852 but the writing is terrible so I may just be imaging the last name.

Nothing on William.
I think the name could also be down as Morrison.

Aggis [?], Fred and William J are living with her brother John F Hunt. She is still down as married.

I think Walter has deserted them but on Fred's marriage rego [ 16 Sep 1908] he is listed as farmer. Maybe they were separated. Agnes is always living with a relative. If they had been still 'married' I think there would have been more children.

He is living with parents Richard and Sarah with siblings and his grandmother, Phebe Dainard [father b Germany, mother Quebec]. Only Reuben H Jenkins on census.

Dear Susan, I have only the marriage of Willet Brooks to Melissa. 1860. I did find a tree of Louisa Jane Robertson of Sophiasburg to Willet and they lived in Michigan (Pictues included of the two) they did have Mellissa as their oldest child b. abt. 1859. They had 10 children. If this is they. then Mellissa must have died shortly after her marriage in 1860. It may be that Mellisa Their Daughter could have been of the first marriage and mother died in child birth.
I did not have the info on Louisa marrying Henry Huff. Would be interested in when and from what line he comes as I am also related to the Huff family. As to Miriam Cunningham I have her only as mother of Mellissa. and wife of William Robertson,no other info on her. I also have found tracing them (the Robertsons) hard My 3rd great Aunt Elizabeth Peck b. 1818 m Alexander Robertson of Big Island in 1838 and later moved to San Francisco about 1850.

I have been trying to find a link to NY for Richard Davenport of Sophiasburgh, and the best match for now came from the book:
The History of Ulster County, New York
By Alphonso T. Clearwater
Published by Heritage Books, 2001
ISBN 0788419439, page 129
http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA129&dq=%22richard+Dav...

This page 129 has a list of persons from Kingston who refused to sign the general association. Among those persons are Richard Davenport and several Trompour's. I think it was Paul Trompour that accompanied Simon Isaac Cole to Upper Canada. I found the following will dated 1789 at Kingston, of John Davenport, son of Richard Davenport (Sr?), which he leaves to his son Richard his farm. The 1790 Federal Census has a Richard Davenport in Kingston, Ulster county NY, but he has several children, so I didn't think he was the right Richard, however upon closer inspection, the "children" are over 16 years old and they may just be brothers or sisters or his Mother. Richard is not present in the 1800 Federal Census in Kingston. I have not checked any Church records yet. Any thoughts?

Here is my transcription of Richards will. Although there is no mention of a "Cole" in this particular record, in a land record of the east 1/2 of lot 5 in the 1st Con Sophiasburgh, Isaac Cole, Christina's brother, was a witness. (FHL 198133, # 1091)

Family History Film # 198133
Land Records of Prince Edward County

Note: The East ½ of Lot 7, Con 1, in Sophiasburgh was willed to Richard’s 3 daughters only after the death of his wife, Christiana. According to the abstracts of Sophiasburgh (FHL film 198182 Abstract Index Books), this property was transferred to Peter Van Horn by Nicholas Lazier and others on 11 Nov 1840, and registered 9 April 1842, so I am thinking that Christina (or Christian as it is spelled in Richards will) died about 1840.

My Great Grandmother was Ceilia Eaton and her parents were William Eaton and Elizabeth Sprung. Both originally from Ameiliasburg township, but they settled in Sophiasburg where he had a small farm of 20 acers. After they were gone the family sold the farm. I believe they are buried in the Bethel Doxsee graveyard, however vandals have destroyed many of the stones. Records show they are there.

Re: Hunt/Howe.... Sophiasburg

lisavm — 2008-10-13 14:43:31Z

Thank you all for the help, however, I did have all this. I did find that he remarried in 1922 (Walter) after Agnes died. But his burial is not listed. A man in his 80's told me that after his father pasted in 1946, my Walter came a calling on his mother and she sent him away... always a ladies man. According to my mother, grandma (Iva) wouldn't let him in the house, he was a dirty old man. I am guessing he is buried in Orser with wife #2 but no one cared enough to mark the date on the head stone... his reason for being away I think he worked for the rail road and that would explain him being in BC.... Thanks again for your help, but I think it is time to lay great grandpa to rest....

Contains over 16,000 names, 20 years to produce.

I was able to go to the 7th Town Historical Society to view it when I was looking up my Badgely/Jinks connection, but you can also buy a copy or have them research for you, I think it is $20. Here is there web address...

Hunt/Howe.... Sophiasburg

lisavm — 2008-09-04 12:05:17Z

I have walked so many miles in PEC graveyards and spent hours in the Archives but here are some things I cannot find and I don't know why!!!!
Great Grandmother was Agnes Hunt Howe, born in 1865 in Hallowell to parents Moses and Isabella Hunt. She married Walter Howe in 1887 had 2 sons Fred and John. Agnes died in 1919, however I cannot find her burial records. My mother was not born yet so she doesn't even know. I would love to know where she is buried.
On the same line... Great Grandfather Walter D. Howe born in Sophiasburg in 1867, was never listed in the census but they were married. He worked away, I am guessing in the railroad or something but no one knows. After Agnes died he married Phoebe Cole Allison in 1922 and she died in 1927. Mother remembers Walter as the Old Gent that no one wanted to deal with, she was young when he died and again I cannot find any burial records for him. I would love to know where he is buried or his occupation.
Their son John William Howe, my grandfather married Hannah Iva Hunt, I am guessing around 1910. My mother is sure she was told they were married in Demorestville, however I cannot find a record of their marriage and it is really starting to bug me.
I am just hoping there is a relative out there with the information I seek.... Thanks

I was walking graveyards in Ameliasburg and Hallowell yesterday. There are a lot of Gerow's and Moón's in the area. Rossmore there is a Moon cemetery however, they built houses on top of it, so it is now gone... have you checked with the Ameliasburg research society? http://www.quinte-kin.com/databases.htm they have a fair amount of Moon information and probably Gerow as well. They will look it up for you, I use this library all the time and spend days there went I get a vacation...

Re: Cole/Badgely-Married In Demorestville,Prince Edward Co.Sophiasburgh In1849

Jo__C — 2008-10-13 21:40:53Z

I am very interested in the will of Richard Davenport dated 1827 listing 6 children: William, Richard, John, Catherine, Sarah & Mary Davenport.

Does it definitely list as sons-in-laws Nicholas Lazier (Feb 12, 1781 - Jan 9, 1864), Peter Van Horn & John Van Horn (c1781 - ?)?

If so, then the children of Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - c1827) & Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - ?) might be: Catherine Cogburn Davenport (c1785 - c1862), Mary Davenport (c1788 - ?), Sarah Davenport (chr Apr 26, 1800 - ?), William Davenport (c1801 - June 5, 1875), Richard Davenport (c1806 - ?) & John Davenport.

Does the will indicate the age of Richard Davenport at the time it was made? This might confirm the tentative baptism date, parentage, etc I have for him.

Does the will mention Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - ?) at all?

I think that Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - c1827) may be a descendant of Captain Richard Davenport (c1606 - July 15, 1665) & Elizabeth Hawthorne (chr Apr 10, 1614 - June 24, 1678).

Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - ?) is almost certainly a descendant of Jacob Arentsen Cole (c1580 - Nov 6, 1634) & Aeltje Dirks (c1584 - ?).

The ancestry of Nicholas Lazier (Feb 12, 1781 - Jan 9, 1864) has been traced back to Jean LeSueur (c1599 - ?) & Marye Gruier (c1596 - ?).

I expect that Peter Van Horn & John Van Horn (c1781 - ?) of Adolphustown Township, Lennox & Addington County, Ontario, Canada are descendants of Christian Barentsen Van Horn (c1625 - 1658) & Jannetje Jans (c1629 - July 13, 1694). Have you discovered more or different information in researching the Van Horn family?

More information on the Van Horn & Davenport marriages, etc is available on the http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onvsr/ website.

Note that William Davenport (c1801 - June 5, 1875) married Deborah Miller (c1802 - ?). Richard Davenport (c1806 - ?) married Elizabeth.

I have more info in my files & I will contact you by email to exchange info, documentation, sources & contacts.

Thank you for replying to my post in this forum.

Re: Cole/Badgely-Married In Demorestville,Prince Edward Co.Sophiasburgh In1849

Jo__C — 2008-10-15 00:02:10Z

Gosh, your research into wills & my notes on christening records complement each other!

John Davenport (chr Jan 25, 1740/1741 - c1789) & Annetje Meyer (? - after1789) were the parents of Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768), Lea Davenport (chr Jan 20, 1774), Christian Davenport (chr Aug 24, 1777) & Annatje Davenport (chr Oct 14, 1781).

[NB all these christenings took place at Katsbaan Dutch Reform Church, Saugerties, Ulster County, NY USA -- sources: (third-hand)"Baptismal & Marriage Registers: Old Dutch Church, Kingston, NY", author R. Randall Hoes, per Sharon Hoferer & Robert Jackson on the Rootsweb Family Trees website http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ , databases Hoferer & robertjackson33 ].

I don't doubt that John Davenport (chr Jan 25, 1740/1741 - c1789) & Annetje Meyer (? - after1789) were the parents of a Maria Davenport too, as expressed in the will of John Davenport of Kingston NY USA.

John Davenport (chr Jan 25, 1740/1741 - c1789) was the son of Richard Davenport (chr May 6, 1711 - ?) & Johanna Legg (chr Jan 27, 1716/1717 - ?).

Richard Davenport (chr May 6, 1711 - ?) was the son of John Davenport (June 13, 1632 - ?) [of Boston] & Maria Legg (chr Apr 9, 1682 - ?).

The fact that John Davenport (June 13, 1632 - ?) came from Boston, Massachusetts, USA to marry Maria Legg (chr Apr 9, 1682 - ?)in the Old Dutch Church at Kingston, Ulster county, NY USA slightly distinguishes his family members from the many descendants of Humphrey Davenport (England>Barbados>USA)in the same community & of Thomas Davenport ('The Pioneer') of the Philipstown Patent nearby. However these English Davenport families are so interwoven into the same Dutch & Palatinate families of the Hudson River Valley, I think it would be difficult to tell them apart even genetically.

I am not certain but I have presumed to construct 'our' Davenport line of descent as:

Captain Richard Davenport (c1606 - July 15, 1665) & Elizabeth Hawthorne (chr Apr 10, 1614 - June 24, 1678) > John Davenport (chr Sept 19, 1641 - Dec 6, 1678) & Bridget Watkins (c1646 - ?) > John Davenport (June 13, 1672 - ?) & Maria Legg (chr Apr 9, 1682 - ?) > Richard Davenport (chr May 6, 1711 - ?) & Johanna Legg (chr Jan 27, 1716/1717 - ?) > John Davenport (chr Jan 25, 1740/1741 - c1789) & Annetje Meyer > Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - c1827) & Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - c1840), etc.

There are so many Davenport families in Ulster county, NY USA pre & post American Revolution [including 'our' Richard Davenport's first cousin, Richard Davenport (chr Oct 22, 1774 - ?) who married Annetje Meyer (chr June 23, 1772 - ?)& lived & died in Ulster county, NY USA] - that it was difficult to choose the 'right one' as husband to Christina Cole & to distinguish 'our' Richard from others in the US censuses.

I found Leslie Mendez's research into the Trumpour family tree [see database :a1571 on the RootsWeb Family Trees website & Batch C506511 Sheet 00 Source 0897082 Printout 0883821 1730-1769 "Olde Ulster: an historical genealogical magazine" on the Mormon website http://www.familysearch.org] very helpful too.

When I tried to trace Richard Davenport (husband of Christina Cole) antecedents, I first looked at whether they met as Loyalist refugees in passage to Canada & found info with respect to the Cole aka Cool, Kul, etc family but struck out with respect to the 'late loyalist' Richard Davenport.

Then I looked at whether the Davenport & Cole families knew each other before the war & found the current candidate for groom within the same pre-Revolutionary church's congregation.

However with the mention in Richard Davenport of Sophiasburgh's will of property in Rawdon township -- I will check my notes about the Phelps & Davenport land development plans with new interest. I was under the impression that Phelps' partner came from a different area of New York state.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful research & transcription skills.

Jo__C — 2008-10-14 20:36:40Z

Thank you very much for posting the transcription of Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - c1827)'s will!

It confirms so much about the family of Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - c1827) & Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - c1840) & a time & place for which I had little factual material until now.

I will synthesize my notes & forward the material to you & other interested researchers by email. If that's okay? If you are a descendant of this family, then you've made a lot of your cousins happy today.

Thank you!

Re: Cole/Badgely-Married In Demorestville,Prince Edward Co.Sophiasburgh In1849

Jo__C — 2008-07-02 06:59:24Z

I think it would be helpful to put some dates & places together with names in tracing Cole (or Kool etc) descendants from 16th Century Amsterdam to New Amsterdam (New York city) to the Hudson River valley (Dutchess & Ulster counties, New York state, USA) to the Bay of Quinte region, Ontario, Canada after the American Revolution.

I have the Simon J. Cole line as follows:

Jacob Arentsen Cole (c1580 - Nov 6, 1634) & Aeltje Dirks (c1584 - ?) > Barent Jacobsen Cole (chr May 18, 1610 - 1676) & Marytje Leenderdt DeGraw (c1620 - c1670) > Jacob Barentsen Cole (chr Sept 25, 1639 - 1719) & Marytje Floriszen Symons (Oct 1, 1632 - c1672) > Simon Cole (Mar 27, 1661 - Apr 15, 1705) & Belitje Pietersen Wyberssen (Aug 15, 1666 - ?) > Isaac Cole (Apr 15, 1705 - ?) & Geesje Traphagen (c1705 - ?) > Simon J. Cole (circaMar 23, 1734/5 - ?) & Maria Trumpour [aka Trombauer](chr May 7, 1745 - before1839).

According to Edwin Lackey [http://wc.rootsweb.com, database: elackey], Simon J. Cole & Maria Trumpour were living at Normans Kill, Albany county, NY USA at the time of the American Revolution. Their children Petrus Cole (cMay 25, 1766 - ?), Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - ?), and Isaac Cole (circa Jan 26, 1770 - ?) were born in New York state, USA.

Simon J. Cole was a British loyalist during the American Revolution [see "The Centennial of the Settlement of Upper Canada by the United Empire Loyalists 1784-1884", Pg 157 Appendix B The U. E. List.,"Soldier in corps not stated (in provision list 1786)" at http://www.ourroots.ca/ ]. He and his brother-in-law Lt. Paul Trumpour (and cousin Dr. Daniel Cole) were part of the Van Alstine party of loyalist refugees who left the port of New York on Sept 8, 1783 & arrived in Quebec on October 8, 1783. The group overwintered in tents at Sorel before continuing on to the Bay of Quinte in boats, but Simon J. Cole & Lt. Paul Trumpour received permission to return to New York state & bring their families out to Ontario by an overland route. Simon J. Cole settled with his family in Sophiasburgh township, Prince Edward county, Ontario, Canada in 1784.

Some of Simon J. Cole's cousin Dr. Daniel Cole's children also settled in Sophiasburgh township -- so it is important to use BMD dates to distinguish different individuals with similar names living in the same area.

I believe that I am a descendant of Simon J. Cole (cMar 23, 1734/5 - ?) & Maria Trumpour (Chr May 7, 1745 - bef1839) through their daughter Christina Cole (chr Dec 13, 1767 - ?) who married [before June 20, 1767*] Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - after 1820).

[*source: William D. Reid, "The Loyalists in Ontario: The Sons & Daughters of American Loyalists", (Hunterdon House, Lambertville, NJ, USA 1973), Order in Council dated June 20, 1797 authorizing a land grant to Christina Cole, upon marriage, as the daughter of a Loyalist.]

Richard Davenport (chr Apr 19, 1768 - after 1820) operated an inn west of Grassy point & the ferry from Sophiasburgh township, Prince Edward county to Mill Point (Deseronto), Tyendinaga township, Hastings county, Ontario from 1797 to at least 1820. Later generations of this Richard Davenport & Christina Cole family settled on both sides of the ferry, before dispersing elsewhere.

I would be interested in the antecedents of Jacob Arentsen Cole (c1850 - Nov 6, 1634) & will try to contact elidi by email in addition to this posting.

I would appreciate any info or advice about the Cole & Davenport family in Prince Edward county, Ontario, Canada & would be glad to compare notes with other interested researchers or family members.

Parents of John and William Mowerson of Sophiasburgh

OnesanNessa — 2008-05-03 18:06:07Z

John Mowerson was born July 22, 1814 and William G. Mowerson was born Nov 8, 1816, both in Sophiasburgh. Does anyone know who their parents were? I have seen Isaac and Peter Mowerson both mentioned in the Jame Noxon Account Book transcribed on the Internet, could one of these men be their father?

The account book also mentions that "the widow Mowerson" died on April 20, 1841. John Mowerson married Rebecca Ryckman not long after, on May 20, 1841. (children Albert, Isaac, and Philip) This is also mentioned in the Noxon account book. William G. Mowerson married Eleanor Crippen/Griffin in 1842 or 43. (children George, Thompson, Wesley, Harlan, Charles, and Sobeda) Both families later moved to Tyendinaga in Hastings County.

I have not seen much in the way of resources for early Sophiasburgh. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where to look for information on this family?

I now have a copy of the death certificate for Joseph Henry Parr (1854-1929)and I think I am close to linking up Joseph with the Parrs I am rsearching.

The death certificate for Joseph Parr states that he was of English racial origin, he was born in New York, USA and he had been a labourer for 20 years. The certificate also states that the father of Joseph was Joseph Parr and he was born in the USA and his mother was Mary Gerow who was also born in the USA. The certificate states that Joseph died of pulmonary tuberculosis and he had been treated for six months by a medical practioner. The informant for this information was his wife Lydia Parr of Bloomfield, Hallowell Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada.

Casey family of Prince Edward County and Casey family of Adolphustown

velda65 — 2008-09-14 00:34:37Z

Anyone know if these two families are related and if so, how?

Adolphustown
Willet Casey b: 14 FEB 1762 d: 10 MAR 1848
married
Jane Niles b: 16 MAY 1763 d: 12 FEB 1856

-----------

Prince Edward County
So many names from the Willet Casey - Adolphustown - family are repeated in the Casey families in PECounty (Picton/Cherry Valley)

Willet and Jane Casey's (above) daughter Martha (Patty) CASEY b: Abt 1787 d: 1874
married Gilbert DORLAND b: 9 MAR 1776 d: 27 MAR 1837

Dorland is also a name that's used with the Casey families from Prince Edward County...

I know that Willet and his brother William went from Adolphustown to Picton/Glenora (Lake on the Mountain) and set up an iron foundry and a wool mill...but I can't find the link that takes them or their descendants right into Cherry Valley where the other Casey's and Dainard's were/are.

I hope that's not too confusing and that someone can help me out.

Thank you

Reuben Head Jenkins confusion

Then I have a death certificate for Reuben Head born 1829 died 1902 (listed as a widower) and reported by Albert Ostrander

Then I have a birth certificate for Reuben Head born 29 March 1886 in to Philip Head and Martha Jane Soney (Loney?)

I am not researching the Murdoff family but interestingly enough John Murdoff son of Sergt. George Murdoff received a land grant as the son of a Loyalist in N. Gwillimbury Twp. (bottom of Lake Simcoe) next to the property of a Samuel Foster. I do have that info. from the microfilm and would be willing to share it. I would like to get some more info. on John as this may help me in the research of my 3rd. G. Grandfather, Samuel Foster. My Samuel Foster also came from Fredericksburgh and was the son of Moses Foster and Jennie McPhee.

GRAHAM in PEC

renoqueen — 2008-05-07 01:44:18Z

I am looking to correspond with any GRAHAM family researchers seeking PEC ancestors. My ancestor, James Graham, was born there about 1824. His father, William Henry Graham has been a long standing brick wall. I'm hoping by comparing notes with other GRAHAM researchers that we might find a link.
There were several William Graham's who were in the Loyalist lists but I can't tie them to our family yet.

I am very desperate to find a 1953 Trenton Ontario year book. I really don't know were to look or even if there is such a site that has old year books. With Trenton being a fairly small town (and even smaller in 1953).

I thought perhaps someone has one and I could PLEASE have a copy of a person from the year book.

Re: Thomas Heffernan and Mary Coffey of Picton, Ont.

mccojr01 — 2008-11-04 04:07:26Z

I know this is a really old post but maybe someone out there still has an interest. I would like to share any info I can -- not that I have much on the Heffernan line.

My grandfather Thomas McCormick (born 1861 in Picton Ont Canada) married Ellen Bridget Heffernan (born 1860 in Picton Canada). From her death certificate, her parents were Thomas Heffernan and Bridget Coffey (other records and family knowledge refer to her mother as Mary.) We also have a (undocumented) story about a ship wreck on the way over from Ireland where a young son was wrapped in a blanket and all survived.

A newspaper article I found mentioned a brother of Ellen as Hugh Heffernan. While none of the children of Thomas and Bridget (Mary) match what you have listed, other facts seem to match. I have attempted to attach an image of the death certificate mentioned.

Re: Dorus Brooks

Diggergirl — 2008-08-17 14:02:23Z

Hi Lanny

Dorus Brooks married 3x that I could find. He married Jane as you know.

He then married an Anne Whiteman on the 9th Sep 1883 in Napanee, Lennox & Addington Co., Ontario, Canada

And then he Deborah McGrath in 20 Aug 1891 in Adolphustown, Lennox & Addington Co.,

I do not know if he and Anne Whiteman had children but if they did they should appear on the 1891 Canadian Census prior to him marrying Deborah?

As Janice indicated, I too am certain Doras was the son of George Brooks and Charlotte Benedict. And he had a younger brother Willet Brooks.

George & Charlotte married in 1821 in Fredericksburg and it would appear Charlotte died by 1841 when George went on to marry Mary Street in Picton in 1841 and went on to have more children with her.

However given George and Charlotte were together for quite possibly 19 years, but at least 13 years, before her death, there was room for them to have many children... at this point I have only come up with Dorus and Willet but really believe there could have been more!

For Doras Brooks & Jane, it would seem they had 3 children you did not mention so I am assuming they died? 1851 Census has the following 3 children : a Charlotte abt 1847, Wellington 1846 and Doras 1850.

HI Janice

Send me your email, I think you can through a secure sight at Ancestry and I will pass on what I know about the Robertson girls...and the Brooks and such if you are interested.

I do have a bit more to add to the mystery.

Susan

Re: Dorus Brooks

Diggergirl — 2008-08-15 13:23:22Z

Hi Janice

I saw your post here regarding Willet Brooks and his wife Melissa Robertson. I have been trying to figure out the ROBERTSON connections and hope given that is your line, that you can lend me a hand.

It seems Willet Brooks married Melissa and then her sister Louisa who was first married to Henry Huff. Then Willet and Louisa and Louisa's young daughter with Henry went off to Michigan. Thus I am assuming Melissa died as did Louisa's 1st hubby.

I am having a hard time finding this Robertson family in 1851? I understand Miriam married a Cunningham after William Robertson died, is that correct?

Can you fill in some blanks for me?
Susan

Re: Dorus Brooks

Diggergirl — 2008-08-15 13:18:16Z

Hi There Lanny

As Janice passed on to you Dorus Brooks had a brother Willet but I believe there were a few more siblings of these two all born to George Brooks and Charlotte Benedict. Charlotte died and George remarried and went on to have even more children!

I'd love to share and compare on Dorus, I have him married 3x's and have only 3 children with he and 1st wife Jane.

William & Miriam Robertson circa 1840's

Diggergirl — 2008-06-19 14:55:37Z

Anybody have anything on this couple? Or better yet, anybody researching them? I believe they lived in Sophiasburg but prior to that I believe in the Fredericksburg area.

They do not appear as of the 1851 census though so I suspect they might have both died by then, but left behind some rather young children - Reuben, Lucy and Henry as well a possible Melissa all born circa 1838-1843 range.

I am interested in Melissa specifically and have already searched Ancestry.ca....for odds and sods on the family.

Thanks all

Re: William & Miriam Robertson circa 1840's

Diggergirl — 2008-06-21 21:36:02Z

HI Janice

Thanks, I was not sure what Miriam's maiden name was.

I am thinking William & Miriam died 'young' as I cannot seem to find them on the 1851 census.... Thus perhaps leaving their young children scattered amongst neighbours etc.

I appreciate the hand.

Hi Rae- thanks for posting all these names and birthdates!

Did all of these folks live and die in Ontario? If so, where in Ontario did they settle? I would like to know names of all of the spouses, will write to you sep. off this board.

What part of New York did they come from? Was Hezekiah Senior born in CT and then moved to NYS? Where was Mary Ann Bush born? Where did she and Hezekiah die/buried?

Are these actual birthdates or baptism dates for their children?

What is the family's connection to Dorland family?

Is Mary Ann Bush related to Henry Bush born 1776 who married Rebecca Miller and lived at Ernestown; she would fit as a sister given her year of birth (1771)?

Who was Elias Clark born 1801 married to- was it Julia Morden? If so, do you know names of Julia Morden's parents?

Did Hezekiah Senior have a brother Elias Clark born 1762? If so, who was Elias Senior married to?

Re: Burns, Ellis and Welbanks in Prince Edward Co.

Hi Audrey:
I am also descended from the Welbanks family from PE County. Louisa Welbanks, d/o Wm. Welbanks and Mary Ann Clark was my 3rd great grandmother married to John Benjamin Thompson.
Have you read the various history books on PE County? Pioneers of the Bay of Quinte and a few others are online and have Welbanks family trees listed. Maybe they would help you with some answers to your questions. Please email me privately and I will share my info. with you.

Burns, Ellis and Welbanks in Prince Edward Co.

2006-10-02 15:36:36Z

I am trying to find more information about Ursula Burns who married John Ellis. Since I don't have access to the recorded earlier records, I can only use the information that I've found throughout my research by using various information posted on the web and through Ancestry.ca, However, since Ursula was married to John Ellis under the last name of Welbanks, it is possible that this Ursula may be the same person as Ursula Burns who had been marrried to Robert Welbanks, s/o Thomas Welbanks UEL and Mary La Rue.

John Ellis married on May 21.1838 to Ursula Welbanks. Source: John Ellis and Ulza (Ursula) Welbanks, both of Marysburgh, married 2 May 1838. Witnessed by Thomas Welbanks, Hiram Welbanks. Performed by-REV. RICHARD JONES, WESLEYAN METHODIST.

Ursula b. abt. 1798, birth place and parents unknown, John Ellis b. abt. 1790, birth place and parents unknown. To the best of my knowledge, this may have been the same John Ellis who was first married to Fanny Collier, since I have only been able to find one John Ellis of his age in Prince Edward Co, and was possibly the same John Ellis who had 3 sons David, Benjamin and John Ellis with Miriam Brooks, but I don't know if they were married or not, and parted ways, since John Ellis married again in 1838 to Ursula Welbanks, and Miriam Brooks later married Angus Cameron.

The dates of births of the 3 children born to John Ellis and Miriam Brooks, John abt. 1827, Davod abt. 1833 amd Benjamin abt 1835, coincide with the time lapse that I assume would be likely after Fanny Collier's death until John Ellis remarried Ursula Welbanks.

I found the death record for John Ellis and Miriam's son b. Oct. 6.1830, in Picton, Prince Edward Co. who died June 26.1920 at Port Hope Hospital, Durham Co. His parents are listed as John Ellis and Miriam Brooks.. His death was reported by his daugter Mrs. A.H. Hilton of Port Hope. The death records for Miriam's two other two chlidren David Ellis (married Rebecca Pomeroy) and Benjamin Ellis (married Electa Harnden) do not give parents names, however I assume their father would also have been John Ellis.

Death records:
ELLIS John Died Dec. 20 1862 @ 72 years, 10 months. This would mean he was b. Feb. 1790. Ursula Died April 2, 1873 @ 74 years, 9 months which would have made her birthdate as July 1798. They are both buried at Black Creek at the church, South Marysburgh. Along with them, there is a Frances Ellis died Oct. 30, 1887 @ 42 years, 9 months. I have been unable to verify if this was a child born to John Ellis and Ursula.

Since the earliest death records on Ancestry only start in 1869, thus far, I have been unable to verify when Robert Welbanks died. I believe there may be a connection between Robert Welbanks and Ursula Burns since the witnesses for Ursula's marriage to John Ellis were Hiram and Thomas Welbanks.

Hiram Welbanks b. South Bay, Prince Edward Co. died July 3.1919 Picton. His father is listed as Thomas Welbanks and no mother is noted on his death reg.

However, since the marriage for Ursula Welbanks to John Ellis in 1838 shows witnesses to be Thomas and Hiram Welbanks, and without having yet having found their death records, I can only assume they were children born to Ursula Burns and possibly her first husband Robert Welbanks.

The death record for Samuel Ellis b. abt 1841 Prince Edward Co. d. Nov.11.1914, Prince Edward Co., reported by W.C. Grimm, noted that Samuel's parents were John Ellis and Ursula Burns. This leads me to believe that Samuel Ellis was born to John Ellis and Ursula Burns (Welbanks), however I have not yet been able to figure out why Ursula's last name was listed as Burns and not Welbanks on this record.

Samuel Ellis married Catherine E. Emprey (b. Oct. 17.1850 Milford, ON and d. Apr.12.1922 Picton, Prince Edward Co.) Her death records shows she is a widow, and her death was reported by her brother Philip Emprey. She is buried Picton. Her parents were noted as Harvie Emprey and Caroline Vanvlack.

Another son that I've found that was born to John Ellis and Ursula Welbanks:

William Ellis b. 1839 Prince Edward Co.d. Oct.9.1881 Picton, Prince Edward Co. married Emily M. Welbanks.

Wanamaker - Prince Edward County Cemeteries:
Hiram ELLIS 1839-Oct.9.1881
Wife - Emily M. WELBANKS 1842 - 1918

1861 Census Prince Edward Co., Marysburgh:
ELLICE (ELLIS) John 70 married
Ursala 62 married
Hiram 21
Samuel 20

1871 Marysburgh No. 59 I 1, p. 44
Ellis Hiram 31 married
Emily M. 28 married
Ursula 73 widow

If anyone can supply me with more information about any of these family members to verify what I assume may be correct, or has any information about John Ellis b. 1790 and Ursula Burns and their descendants, or disputes any information that I have noted here, I would be more than happy to hear from you, as I would like to have my files correct.

Sayers Family of Picton

tedd11 — 2008-04-01 20:51:10Z

Looking to connect with anyone doing research on the Sayers family of Picton. Seeking info on James Sayers who emigrated from Ireland in the mid to late 1800s. The mailing address that he was using in 1892-93 timeframe was c/o A. W. Hepburn, Esq., Picton, P.O., Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. He had a brother, William (my great grandfather), who emigrated to Philadelphia, PA around the same time. Their parents, John and Martha, remained in Ireland (Letterkenny, County Donegal) with their siblings, Fannie, Matilda, Cassie and John.

William married Carrie Caroline Peak in Philadelphia and they had four children - Edward D., Fannie, Florence Mary (my grandmother), and John W. William died in the early 1890s in Philadelphia - I don't know exactly when, or where he is buried, althought I continue to search. His widow, Carrie, lived through two additional marriages and died in 1959 in Philadelphia, where she is buried.

Does this dovetail with any research that anyone else might be doing.

Thank you,

I am in possession of a Williams Family Bible of the early 1800s from either Athol or Hallowell, but it is not with me where I am, so I can't check the names for you.

I won't be able to access it until a week from now, so if someone reminds me next Saturday to look it out, I will.

Re: Williams family of Hollowell

ibarker — 2008-04-05 23:40:06Z

Actually, I forgot that I had entered the family as strays in my genealogy database. They don't look like they are related. The earliest Williams I have is Hulbert Williams born 1808 (location not given in the bible) marrying Irene Werden b. 1810 (d.o. Asa & Elizabeth Werden, of Athol), with 3 subsequent generations extending to the 1920s. There is a Phillip Earle Williams, born 10 March 1866, but that's as close as the names get, and he isn't your Phillip.

Bennett3820 — 2007-06-07 01:15:44Z

I would like to find out more about a family which moved from Albert County, New Brunswick to Ontario. An obituary for Mary McDonald, appeared in the Saint John, New Brunswick "Christian Visitor" on July 29, 1869. "Died Wellington, Ontario, 25th June of dropsy, Mary w/o Charles McDonald, 75, left five sons, three daughters. The deceased a native of Tyrone, Ireland emigrated to New Brunswick in 1819. Moved from Albert County to the Province of Ontario in 1849. She was a member of the Baptist Church." There is a Charles McDonald born in New Brunswick in the 1871 and 1881 Wellington, Prince Edward County, There are no McDonald's in Albert County in 1851 or 1861. Researching Irish or English McDonald's.

Interesting -- John & Zerada Moran Williams' grandson, DeForest Sylvanus Green (my Grandfather), married Maybelle Pearl Rife(my Gma), the GGGG-Granddaughter of Isaac Van Valkenburg (UEL and member of Butler's Rangers).

So it seems as if the Williams and Van Valkenburg lines have crossed before.

Hi,

Thank you so much for this information. Just today, I also received a reply from another researcher of the Moran family and they had info that a daughter named Zerada Williams was listed in Daniel Moran's will.

Would you happen to have any more info on the Marshall Samuel Bidwell Williams that married Josephine Moran. Wondering if this could be a relation (brother) to my John N. Williams that married Zerada Moran.

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Suzy,

This sounds really close. The date doesn't match tombstone from 1901 listing date of birth as Nov. 5th, 1835 but who knows. The names in the family are very similar. Zerada Mourn Williams had two children -- Daniel Norman Williams and Mahala Teresa Williams which match your Zorada Moran's parents of Daniel and Mahala.

My info comes from the following:
1881 Kent County Atlas:
Last Name First Name County Township Town

Occupation Birthplace
Farmer Big Island, Prince Edward Co., Canada
Year Settled 1852 Post Office Wallaceburg

1861 Census Look Up for Sophiasburgh, Ontario, Canada

gforsyth — 2007-07-02 16:17:54Z

Listed under McLein

From the 1861 Census Sophiasburgh, Ontario, Canada. I find only 3 children on the census by themselves?

Margaret McLein b 1847 Ont., Samuel McLein b 1849 Ont., John McLein b 1851 Ont.

I am looking for the parents John (Jonathan) b 1801 Engl, Mary b 1811 Ont., and any other children. Possibly another child named James.

The parents and other siblings might be listed on a different page.

The names it might be under are McLain, McLaine, McLein, McLean. (Chances are it is under McLein as the other 3 children were listed that way).

I haven't been able to find them in the 1852 census of Percy Twp or Brighton as this is where Margaret McLain (child above was born). I haven't found the McLain's in the 1871 census of Sophiasburgh either?

Can anyone help???
It would be greatly appreciated! I've hit a brick wall in the research of this family.

Hello RSParcels:

I am descended from Mary Maria Garnier b abt 1744 Bergen Co. New Jersey, USA and George John Parliament b 1722/23 Hackensack, Bergen County he died 6 weeks after Immigrating to Canada leaving Mary with a large family to raise with hardly any food. The area was Hay Bay,Sophiasburgh, Ontario. He died in 1788. Mary married 2nd to John Parcels in abt 1790. They had one son that I know of Richard Parcels born abt 1791. I don't know when Mary Garnier Parliament Parcels died. Do you have any further information on Mary?

Now the other thing that may be of interest is that I am also related to John Parcels as I beleive he was a Pearsal,Pearsall, Pearsol and other variations of the name are Parcels. I have John Parcels born abt 1730 as the son of John Pearsol born abt 1703 and the son of George Pearsol born abt 1680 son of George P. Pearsoll b abt 1647 and Elizabeth Williams born abt 1650. I have some of the children in each line of Pearsol's. What information are you looking for? My Pearsol's start with Rebecca Pearsol married James Bishop. She was the daughter of John Pearsol born 1785 Long Island, New York, USA and Hannah Abrams born 1789 New York State, USA.

Let me know what you need! Would love to share info.

Re: 1861 Census Look Up for Sophiasburgh, Ontario, Canada

gforsyth — 2007-07-05 02:14:41Z

New information that my McLaine's could be Macklin's. Some of the information I come across is under Macklin. I have this info:
Margaret Ann Macklin born December 29, 1847 Brighton Twp. Baptised October 15, 1848 in Alnwick a twin.
Twin sister Mary Jane Macklin born December 29, 1847 Brighton Twp. Baptised October 15, 1848 in Alnwick.
Parents of the twins are John and Mary Macklin.

So the children I know of are Margaret Ann born 1847, Mary Jane born 1847, Samuel born 1849 and John born 1851. Parents John McLain (Macklin, McLein, McLaine, McLean) and Mary Ann Margaret Shaw.

Can anyone look up Cobourg census for 1852 to see if this family is there? John Macklin born 1801 England, Mary born 1811 Ontario (Parents) ch: Margaret Ann b 1847, Mary Jane 1847, Samuel 1849, John 1851.

The 1861 Census they are in Sophiasburgh, Prince Edward County but I can only find 3 children listed under McLein by themselves. Margaret 1847, Samuel 1849, John 1851. The parents might be on another page as I am told when the census have been microfilmed the pages might be out of order.

If someone has any information or if anything sounds familiar I would love to share and trade info.

Thank you so much for all your help!

Daniel Cornell born 1785 Belleville, Hastings, Ontario, Canada

jancell — 2007-09-15 19:45:09Z

I am seeking Ancestry/Descendant information on Daniel Cornell. According to his obituary he was born 1785 Belleville, Hastings, Ontario, Canada. He married Elizabeth Staley born 05 Sep 1805 in Ontario, Canada. [On her death certificate her father is listed as Jacob Staley.] I have no other ancestry on either of them. They migrated to Lapeer Co., MI about 1858.

The 1860 Census of Imlay Township, Lapeer Co., Michigan lists the family as follows:
Eneumerated on 28 June,1860
Daniel Cornell 75 M Farmer Born Canada West
Elizabeth Cornell 56 F Born Canada West
Jeremiah Cornell 28 M Canada West Born
Elias Cornell 25 M Born Canada West
Daniel Cornell 22 M Born Canada West
Freedom Cornell 16 F Born Canada West
Lovina Cornell 14 F Born Canada West
Mary A. Cornell 12 F Born Canada West

Daniel lived to be 103 years old. Several of his descendants also have lived to be over 100. This longevity seems quite common in the family.

I have been researching this family since 1975 and have not been able to find their ancestry. Perhaps someone would be willing to help in with this search.
Thank-You,

Henry & Pharsina (Coffin) Willard - Picton

hereldstuart — 2007-06-14 23:31:50Z

In July 1860, Henry T. and Pharsina (Coffin) Willard were living in Picton, Upper Canada (as listed in Pharsina's dad's probate papers). Pharsina was born in 1817, possibly in Deerfield, Oneida, New York, and had a daughter, Mary Willard about 1844. Pharsina and Mary are still living in Deerfield, Oneida, New York in 1850. Pharsina's brother Jacob Coffin was also in Picton at this time, but by 1870 he was back in the USA in Minnesota.

Can anyone find any census or BMD records for this family in Canada? Thank you.

Marriage: Blanche Marie Young, 17, parents as above, married David Ray Taft, 25, 20 Dec 1915 Trenton, Hastings # 006392.

Selim is on 1901 census in Ameliasburgh. In fact, Aaron Young is on same page. Selim’s name is down as Selirn and wife is Liggie A [ Selim and Lizzie].

1911 census Selim and Lizzie are on it in Ameliasburgh. There are 2 more daughters, Nancy and Jean.

After all this, I guess this isn’t your Selim born 1847. Maybe son and grandson?

There is no Selim Young on 1871 Ontario census in PE County but this is a head of household census only. To see the whole census you have to either order it from your local library or LDS library [faster]. With any luck, one of them may already have it in.

1906 census [same site as 1901 and 1911] Provencher, Manitoba.

Gaffield, George, b Ontario, 6?,
Lovena, b Ontario, 63

Marriage:
Malcolm M Gaffield, 28, b Sarnia, living Winnipeg, s/o George Gaffield & Lovina Young, railway contractor, married Mary Jane Hodgson, 24, b and living in Mara Ont, d/o Joseph Hodgson & Jane Ritchie, 5 Jan 1907 at Orillia Ontario. Registration # 019139.

On 1911 census Manitoba there is a George Gaffield with daughter Lavina so that is likely one of their sons. I think George and Lovena must be dead as I cannot see them on the census.

Here is the Manitoba Vital Stats site:
http://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/

There is a Daniel S Young, b Ontario, age 51 on 1906 census Saskatchewan.

I think that is about all I can find for you. I didn’t look very much on 1881 census but gave you the site.

1881 on www.familysearch.org

Couldn't find anything on her.

Re: Elijah Jinks

satch42179 — 2007-07-06 04:55:22Z

According to 1881 census he was born c 1828, and Esther b about 1824. His age is given as 53 but the 3 could easily be an 8.

1871 census index, age is given as 55.
The only thing on 1851 census is that he is in Athol, Prince Edward County.
Sorry, not much help.

J.P.tands for Justice of the Peace. I would have to do some research to find out what the duties were in Ontario. Probably like New York, they handled minor offenses. The title Esquire is one adopted by lawyers, but probably has no connection in this case.

THE HUBBS FAMILY OF PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY - compiled by Gordon Van Cleaf Smith
"There was a large millpond and grist mill at Hubbs Creek (Hubbsville);Abraham Hubbs purchased the farm at Hubbs Creek of William Hubbs(his uncle) when William and his second wife, Lucinda, went to live with his daughter Matura in Elgin County. Sons Paul and Cornelius went to California during the Gold Rush. Abrahm posted a reward of $500 to find Cornelius and bring him back from California. He came home and later returned to California."

DESCENDANTS OF JOSIAH BULL Jr. - by Mary E. Young
"William erected a grist mill upon the bank of what was later called Hubbs Creek--His half-brothers, Benjamin and Robert settled nearby and the little community became known as Hubbsville.--
In 1846 William sold the rest of his farm to his nephew Abraham, son of his brother Robert. He and Lucina went to live near his daughter, Matura in Yarmouth Twp., Elgin County, Ontario.

ATHOL
This township was originally part of the "Fifth Town"----
It accordingly took its place in the sisterhood of townships on the 1st of January 1848, and the 3rd of that month the first town meeting was held.

This is a fairly long article. There is also a book, THE SETTLERS DREAM which has a section on the buildings of Athol.

Re: Clute

NancyThompson83 — 2007-04-05 22:29:33Z

Hi Joanna,
Just want to bring my new e mail addres up to date. Is sirius@tds.net

Still tracking the Clute/Scott families all over North America.

Am nearly convinced that Agnes Scott did marry William Greer Pettingell and they moved to Regina, Saskatchewan in about 1883. I think they had a child (1889) who lived just a few hours. His name may have been David Scott Pettingell.

Agnes died in 1894 and is buried in Ottawa, at Beechwood Cemetery with her parents. Still haven't found a marriage record for Agnes and she doesn't appear on any census with her parents. Just with John S. and Maria Clute in Picton. Hummm!

Just keeping in touch.

peewee03 — 2007-03-07 19:36:36Z

Hi Roxanne,

I live in COLD Manitoba, am retired, and have lots of free time on my hands in the winter months, and love it. I've had so much help from others while searching for my husband's ancestors in Ontario, I like to repay the favour to others when and if I can. That said, I've found some more information about your Foss/Ellis families, but this Ellis family is not related to the Ellis family that I'm researching. There are so many, many different Ellis families in Ontario, it sometimes drives me nuts trying to connect the right ones together! As you'll know, I'm sure, from doing previous research, some of the records are faint and hard to read, the spelling is different from what we actually know it was, and some of the handwriting is terrible, so there are a few ?? in this file I'm attaching. I like to add the witnesses to the marriage as it sometimes leads us to find other related people to these families. I hope this helps you somewhat. Audrey

Death Records per Ancestry.CA – I can only verify these until 1932.

1. George Henry Thompson – unable to confirm death date of Jan.1920 as listed on the family tree above.

His wife Eliza Crankshaw:

Birth Location: Gananoque
Cause of death: Chronic bright’s disease. Burial: Sep.4.1922 Denbeigh Cemetery. Name of informant: Anna Wright, widow, Slate Falls.

This is the record of Simon Peter Wright’s second marriage, however the family tree above notes Charity Ann Blakely had first been married to Walter Thompson, however it looks like her first husband was Stephen Pringle. This is also a strange marriage certificate since it looks like Simon Peter's parents have not been noted at all and Charity Ann's parents have been split - her father is listed as Simon's father and her ex-mother-in-law is listed as her mother! According to her origial marriage to Stephen Pringle the record shows her parents were Alexander Blakely and Eleanor.

Re: Surnames of Interest in Prince Edward County

RSParcels — 2007-07-12 19:15:11Z

Hi Gail,

John Parcels was the son of Walter Parsell and Feytje Reddenaar. He is unrelated to the Pearsol, etc. in Prince Edward County. John Parcels was born in Bergen Co., New Jersey around 1735, was married 1stly to Maria Livesey. He died about 1836 in Ontario, as referenced in an old letter from a g-g-g-? aunt indicating that he lived to over one hundred years old. Maria Livesey left NJ with John as loyalists and they are mentioned on the Old UEL List, however, Maria did not make it to PE Co. They wintered at Sorel, PQ.

Robert and Abraham were farmers and mill owners.
The Settler's Dream page 392:
HI-14
Hubbs/McMahon House c. 1840
Lot 13, Concession 1
Illustration: Hubbs/McMahon House, the miller's house at Hubbs Creek.
The mill was definitely in operation by 1835, but could date to an earlier period , since Robert Hubbs had purchased the millsite in 1813. ------
About a year prior to his death, Robert Hubbs sold the "Flouring mill" together with the water privileges to his son Abram. (Deed #2585 Registered 3 Dec., 1874) Abram operated the mill until he turned it over to his son, Benjamin.-----
Benjamin and William C. Hubbs maintained an interest in the mill until 1904, but it is not clear how much longer it remained standing. The house, however, remains in good condition. Even without the mill, the small community, known as Hubbs creek or Hubbsville, is worth seeing since the spatial relationships between buildings have been maintained and the gravel road has not been substansially widened.Nineteenth-century character still abounds in the houses and drivesheds clustered around the mill creek.

Re:York Family

Thanks for responding.At this point in my research,it does not appear that there is a connection between our York families. I descend from Frederick York born circa 1783 in New York State and Dencehey See. Children (1) Hester York - b 1816 (2)David L.York born 1816, died circa 1894 (3)Haner Frederick b.1818 (4)Rachel York born 1818 (5)Herman York (6)Eliza York b 1827 (7)Daniel York b 1830 (8)Jacob York b 1832(9) Elizabeth York b. 1836.

David L. York is my direct ancestor husband of Julie Ann See. Their son William Haner York married Elizabth Pringle and their son was Fredeick York was born in 1891.In 1908 He married Adelaide Mowers ( daughter of Stephen Mowers and Annie Farrington.)Three children were born before WW1 and one child post WW1 Fred served in WW1 and according to family lore died about 10 years after WW1. I have not yet proved all of the preceding info.

Hello Audrey
My Goodness what work !! Thank you very much. I had most of it, but other info quite useful.
There are a couple of "querys" re: Simon's birth place. One said Gananoque and the other in NY...I think it was NY.
( by the way Simon Wright is my great great grandfather !
As for the illustrious Charity Anne Blakely, lets just say major confusion in my family with her.
She is the daughter of Alex and Eleanor Blakely -
here is the confusion -
her 1st husband was Stephen Pringle they married Sept 7 1873.
when he died she married Simon Peter Wright and when Simon died she remarried to Theodore Thompson...pretty well kept in the family..
Simon's mother Mary who was married to Parley Wright - ( this is another brick wall I have hit, can't find anything on Parley or Mary Walters ) when he died or left ?? not sure married Timothy Pringle - Stephen's father.
I guess when I put it down like that it doesn't sound confusing, but when researching, she was everywhere !
I have quite abit of info on the Welbanks, Palens, some Thompson's & very little Wright's as they are all connected.
You mentioned you were researching Ellis ? I wonder if it is the same Ellis' as I am researching ? I have really nothing - but I will give you what little I do have and see if it is the same line .
on my paternal side ( as the above ) mother's side.
My great great grandfather Frederick Foss married a Susannah Ellis b) 1859 in Haley's Station,d) Jan 3,1924
she was the daughter of John Ellis and Ellen Lowney/Lowrey born in Ireland. John and Ellen settled in Douglas Ont, just outside of Renfrew, their children were
Henry, Sam, William, & Susan - unfortunetly that is all I have....is the same ones you are looking for ??
I do have one marriage info re: one of their sons Henry.
Henry Ellis age 28 farmer, born in Douglas, Twsp of Gratten, son of John and Ellen Ellis to Jane Mckeiver age 25 spinster b. in Ireland in St John's church in Eganville.
if you need any info let me know, and if I think of anything i will get back to you.

minyajade47 — 2007-03-07 07:22:24Z

Hi again Audrey, I have some information on this family too. I haven't researched it in about 9 years, but when I was living back east, I was working on the Welbanks too see if I can find info on the Wrights - but I couldn't but found lots on Welbanks - here's what I have re: what you are asking...not sure if it will help or not....
1 - I have found Ursula Burns who married a Robert Welbanks son of Thomas and Margaret Larue....that's it there no dates nothing...
they did have some children - again no dates nothing
they are: David, John B, Rosilla, & George.
Robert Welbanks died in 1830 at the age of 36 years,
Ursula died in 1874 at the age of 71 years
-
Hiram Welbanks was the son of Thomas Welbanks and Sarah Miniker b) 1802 d) 1858 ** you mentioned you didn't know the mother's name. He married Emily Platt b) 1846...
--
Emily Welbanks b) 1842 ( d/o Thomas and Sarah Miniker ) married Hiram Ellis b) 1839 s/o Joshua

that's all I have, but a suggestion if you haven't read it already. I don't know where you live, you may not be able to get this book at the library - but a must read is:
The Pioneer Life of the Bay on the Quinte...my distant relative that I was working with at the time said it's an
encyclopedia - it will drive you up the wall - with so many connections , near misses and maybe's. Don't jump to conclusions , go slow back it up with notes then put together with references. I never got the chance to read the book - he photocopied some stuff out of it for me, and it is amazing what little he sent me - again i am talking 10 years ago. But it mentions the big name families in that area - Minikers, Olmsteads, Welbanks, Palens, Clarks etc and they are all connected....
so let me know how it goes and good luck !
Roxanne

Re: Burns, Ellis and Welbanks in Prince Edward Co.

minyajade47 — 2007-03-08 21:05:37Z

Hi Audrey - again Wow !! thanks for the info on the Ellis family as I have nothing really to go on - maybe thru the siblings I can find more info on the parents.
And also the Foss connection as well, I had most, but again there was some i did not.
I miss working on the family tree, when I was single and living back east that was all that I did - now I have a 3 1/2 year old that takes up alot of my time, so i stopped doing it, until one night i just looked in ancestry and saw all of these messages I got from a year and more ago, still alot of stumbling blocks - Wrights/Foss/Patricks...
you know the immediate part of the family - but the more distant you get someone more info - I have tons on Welbanks & Palens - hoping it could help me come more forward but I am going more backward. Still it's interesting..like I said if you need anything let me know
talk to you later

Re: Curlette/Curlett/Trumpour/Roblin

MallorySmith28 — 2007-11-29 21:58:39Z

I am interested in the Roblins and Mallorys. I note Robert Baldwin Roblin, son of Robert and Elizabeth (Bogart), married Sarah Elizabeth mallory and moved to San Joaquin California where Robert ran a grist mill. Living with them is James Mallory c 1863 Canada. I don't see him listed as a brother.....though another of Sarah's siblings, Mabel kate married Cyrus Roblin.

Sarah and Mabel were children of Ezra Mallory and Phila Ann Trumpour whose mother was Lydia Dorland.

James Mallory married Laura Susan Russell and had, among others, Clovis Dorland Mallory 5 Nov 1904.

Anyone know who were James parents? Seems like he should be a brother of Sarah and Mabel but I don't see a listing. It appears James and Laura may have divorced or separated as James F Mallory is living in San Leandro CA when two of his sons, Herbert Phelps Mallory and Harold Miller Mallory registered for the WWI draft.

I note Hattie Amy Mallory married Paul Findlay Roblin and her sister Eva Jane Mallory married William Davis Roblin. William was brother of Cyrus Roblin who married Mabel Kate Mallory. These Mallory sisters were daughters of Nelson William Mallory and Phebe Jane Allison. Nelson was son of Edwin Mallory and Sarah Bedell.

James was 19 on the 1880 census when living with the Roblins in San Joaquin.

daughters of Robert Roblin and Sarah Mallory:
(9) Estella Grace Roblin = Will E Morris
(9) Elsie Augusta Roblin 13 Sep 1886 d 9 Feb 1950 San Joaquin CA

#004975-75 (Lennox Co): Robert Baldwin ROBLIN, 23, farmer & miller, Sophiasburg, same, s/o Philip & Elizabeth, married Sarah Elizabeth MALLORY, 19, S. Fredericksburg, Adolphustown, d/o Ezra A. & Philey Ann, witnesses were S.W. TRUMPOUR & E.A. MALLORY, both of Adolphustown, 22 June 1875 at Adolphustown

NY b. Apr 19 1771 was previously married to a VanValkenburg male. That when he died she married William Williams and her son William Williams b.1771 is actualy a VanValkenburg.

Re: Clute

robertwprentice — 2007-05-01 02:03:54Z

just reading about your "Clute" quest in Prince Edward County and area.

I'm researching the Prentice line from the Seymour Twp, Northumberland Co, Ontario area and Sarah Ann Clute was my GGGrandmother. She was born 1819 in Seymour Twp.
Her father was John Clute,b. 1Mar, 1798, d. 21 Jun 1875. He was married to Mary Ann Robertson. John is said to have been from the States.

Their other children were, George, Benjamin, William, James, Peter and Charles.

There are alot of Clutes in the Napanee, Belleville (Hastings Co) and Northumberland Co's along with Prince Edward Co.

Thought you might want to try those areas for more "threads".

Re: Johnson, Lyman 1802-1876

lisavm — 2007-09-01 11:42:18Z

Have you tried Pioneer Life in the Bay of Quinte, I ran the name Johnson and there is page after page, here is the link
http://www.nosracines.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=3658
it is searchable online, I have found this to be a great tool finding family that settled in the area in the early 1800's as it was written in 1904 and most of the family members were still alive to give more acturate information.

Re: Max Dodds - Baker connections

lisavm — 2007-09-01 11:36:06Z

This may not be of any use, but I remember Sam and Phil Dodds very well, Sam was friend of the family and Phil was a local writer in Picton when I was growing up. I am quite sure they are both gone now, but both were very nice gentlemen. Dodds Falls is outside of Picton in the Greenbush area and I believe it was named after some line of their family. A great place to look would be at the Picton Archives (basement of the court house) they have wills, death registers, scrapbooks that have been complied of the Picton Gazett for yers and years. It is great, and they may have a collection of Phil's writing.

Re: Burial site for Lt. or Col. Henry YOUNG 1820

lisavm — 2007-09-01 11:26:07Z

This is for Karen and Libby
First off, Libby, last time I was at the Marilyn Adams Center I came across a YOUNG family history it may be worth a look. GEN-YOU-001-1 The Young family are amoung the first to settle in the Athol region and there is alot of information on the War Hero's from that family. It could be in Phil's book you speak or but there is another guy, Medcalf that has written books on the area as well. They are all long out of print but they have them all in the Quinte West Libaray in Trenton. (The best place to do family research in PEC) Also at Marilyn Adams Center they have a transcript of the Cherry Valley Cem and it gives the plot locations.

For Karen the Sweet family, funny I thought of you last weekend, seeing your search for the Graham and Sweets on here. Last Sunday I went graveyard hopping in Hillier Township and I took notice of alot of Sweets in Christ Church on Danforth Rd and in the Wellington Cem. I saw some Grahams but not many.

Another book you both may want to look at is Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte it was written in 1904 and is searchable on line.
http://www.nosracines.ca/e/toc.aspx?id=3658

Naomi married Leonard Gannon, I am seeking information on their children and themselves as well.
Earl it appears had 2 wives Mariam and Lois. Earl is listed as buried in 2 cemetaries in PEC. I have no listings for children.
Also there is confusion with Walters siblings buried in the family plot.
Any information you may have in your personal records on these families would be very helpful. Thank you

Re: Athol

lisavm — 2008-01-13 16:45:43Z

According to the maps in the digital collections of Mcgill University, J.B. Graham owned land 2 parcels on the north side of East Lake. He was a farmer and stock dealer, settled the land in 1837, owned concession NEL lots 6 & 7. No Sweets listed in Athol at this time. But they could be close by but I checked South Marysburgh and Hallowell which are the surrounding townships and still no Sweets. I know I have a cousin that married a sweet, I will see what I can find there.

Re: Sprung, Allison, Eaton, Tillotson surnames

My Great Grandmother was Cecilia Elizabeth Eaton born in 1856, died in 1936 she is buried in Glenwood Cemetery. Her parents were William Eaton and Sarah Loveless, her grandparents being Isaac Robinson Eaton and Elizabeth Sprung both born in NY and married before heading to Canada. They are buried I believe in Bethal/Doxsee site as it was very close to the Eaton homestead, however, many of the gravemarkers have broken into bits. I do have a picture of Cecilia around 1892 and in 1933 if you are interested, I can scan them.

Re: Athol

lisavm — 2008-01-08 05:20:45Z

Athol is not a town, it is a township in Prince Edward County along the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Born and raised Athol girl here. The town is called Cherry Valley, but it isn't really a town, more like a blink of your eye. People worked on farms and in mills mostly. Sweets and Grahams still live there I am sure. One of my Dad's cousin's married an Eliza Sweet and they have a family plot in the Cherry Valley Cemetery.
Try searching here http://www.quinte-kin.com they use to have the cemetery transcript for sale. I think they have a Graham genealogy in their library.

Thank you very much for the information as to the burial site of Maria Clute. Am hoping to lay a rose on her grave when I travel to Picton.

Regards,
Nancy

Re: Clute

sirius113 — 2007-04-09 21:59:04Z

Hi, Yes, I have just recently seen the sites you have listed. These folks sure make it hard to connect the dots. I will keep on the trail. One day something will turn up.

I just learned the burial place of the (supposed) Grandmother Maria Clute in Picton, PE county. Hoping to get there in person sometime within the next year. May find more there.

Thanks,

Stark Starks

Wisknou — 2007-04-22 01:55:25Z

Hello Prince Edward County Researchers!

I'm grasping at straws trying to find Jacob Stark's wife or wives.

Jacob Stark received a land grant in 1789 for being a discharged soldier from the 53rd British Regiment after the Revolutionary War. He ended up in South Marysburgh Township and settled on Lot 10 or 11 Round Prince Edward Bay or West of Point Traverse.

Jacob, according to his land petition filed in 1819 was 55 years old at the time (in 1819) and was a widower. He provided affidavits from some of his fellow regiment members in the 53rd Regiment. Jacob identified that he was born in the province of New Jersey and his age would put him born about 1764. We must remember that males were considered adults at the age of 14 back then.

There is evidence of four children for Jacob from 1791 to 1797 by an unknown wife.

Catherine Stark married John Polmatier, Jr. on May 2, 1809 (assuming she was 16 or 18 when she married him, she is born in 1791 or 1793).

Sarah Stark, born in 1792, married Thomas Edmonds. They are both buried in Cherry Valley Cemetery.

Benjamin Stark married a Mary ???? and had a child named George Stark who was baptised in Picton about 1816. He and his family then disappear from the record.

Mary Stark, born in 1797, married Benjamin Hazelton from Sidney Township, in Hastings County. She died in 1854 and Benjamin came back to Prince Edward and married her younger sister Deborah.

Jacob's first wife must have died as there is a 12 year gap before the next part of his family is born.

Jacob Stark, Jr. is born in 1809. Zachariah Stark (b. 1812), John Leonard Stark (b. 1813), Deborah Stark (b. about 1815) and Lydia Stark (b. about 1817).

I'm looking for help in identifying Jacob Stark's two wives. It appears likely that Jacob and most of the early Stark's were probably buried on the original plot as there is no record of them in the Cherry Valley, South Marysburgh or Picton cemeteries.

I can be reached at ogemahwajewon@hotmail.com directly.

Thanking for any help in advance.

Dennis Stark (seventh generation descendant of Jacob)

Hi Art.... I was rereading some of these messages and twigged, Finally, on the Crawford name as well.
One of my gg-grandmother's cousins (Catherine 'Kate' McLean - daughter of Joseph McLean & Mary Margaret Anderson) married Henry Crawford in Frontenac County in Feb 1879 (2 daughters I think).... any relation do you know?
I haven't been able to find much on that family.... I thought I had found them in Quenbec and then thought I had one of the daughters as a private school teacher in New York but was unable to confirm it.

Max Dodds - Baker connections

southfred3731 — 2007-08-22 13:39:26Z

Would anyone have any information on a Max Dodds? He was born in 1908, and is shown on the 1911 Census as living in Picton with his grandmother Mary Baker, and two brothers Hugh and Jamie. His father may have been in the military. The family moved to Adolphustown ca 1911-12, and returned to Picton ca 1919. We have found a stone (rock) with "Max Dodds age 10 1919" and something about falling in a well, and are trying to determine if it is actually a "gravestone", or an imaginative 10 year old. Unable to find any obits or death records. Does anyone have any evidence that he was alive in Picton after 1919? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: Mastin Family

Susan_Masten — 2007-07-02 21:05:13Z

Hi All,

Well believe it or not... a year has gone by. Sorry I have not made any progress (too many things to deal with on the home and work fronts). To all who sent me things, thanks so much. I do have some things that I need to update, including the genealogy. I have pictures to add (thanks to various people) and hopefully, I'll get to that this summer. I am also going to try to find the latest edition of Beekman Patent when I am in Michigan next week.

So still remaining is who is Peter Minard Masten....Stands to reason that there is some connection to the Viele family (father Myndert Viele) but ....

Also doesn't seem possible that it was almost a year ago I met John Masten and his wife Bernice, who died in August 2006. We lost a great genealogist when Bernice past away, and John lost a loving wife.

Susan

Re: Mastin Family

Susan_Masten — 2007-07-12 01:59:42Z

I have Beekman Patent vol 8 in front of me....

I'll write more later but things are as confusing as we thought.

Aart Masten married Pieternelle Velie on Sept 9, 1704. He moved to Dutchess County in 1714 and was a slave owner.

There is another Aart (Cornelius4, Aart3, Cornelius2, John1) born 7 October 1740 in Poughkeepsie who married Rebecca Velie (daughter of Myndert and Rebecca Velie). They had a son Meindert born 10 Oct 1769, married Nancy Morgan 1793. Not found in NY in 1800. Thought to have a daughter Nancy (b. 1973, married Cyrus of Hallowell, Ontario
son Jonathan (b. 1805) married Mary Leavens from Beekman, settled in Hallowell, Ontario
Minard (married 1836 in Hallowell, ON)
Aart and Rebecca also had a daughter Rebecca who married Ichabod Bowerman Jr.

More later when I get some time....as there is more in the section on Mastens about the Loyalist clan. So there are are two Masten-Velie marriages.

Re: Rosenburgh Surname, Picton, Ontario

LindaRosenburgh22 — 2008-01-24 05:40:50Z

I am not sure if you received my reply to this message I sent in November, but I really wanted you to know how much I appreciated the information you gave me here. Only my great-grandfather immigrated from England to Canada and after his arrival, he married and had his family. One of his sons, (my grandfather Richard Edison Rosenburgh) was raised in Picton and at some time early in his life (20's maybe) he immigrated to the USA.

Again, thank you so much for the information and I wish you the best in your further endeavours.

Rosenburgh Surname, Picton, Ontario

LindaRosenburgh22 — 2007-11-12 05:43:29Z

I am trying to connect with relatives in Picton, Ontario so I will be able to continue this branch of my family tree.

My grandfather, Richard Edison Rosenburgh, was born in Picton on July 28, 1896 ... immigrated to the US sometime before 1921, as he married my grandmother, Louise Caroline Sehnert on May 5, 1921. He passed away, August 2, 1949, in Massachusetts.

His father (my Great-Grandfather)was John Rosenburgh, born about 1861 in England, married Matilda Jane (Joana) Johnson October 29, 1887 and passed away November 2, 1915 in Picton, Ontario.

John's father's name was George William Rosenburgh, also born in England but the only information I have on his mother is that her name was Charlotte.

I have been able to locate Matilda Jane (Joana) Johnson's parents to be William Andrew Johnson and Mary A. Mitchell. Mary's parents are Robert Mitchell, born 1815 in Norfolk, England, died 1883 in Ontario, Canada and his mother was Elizabeth Sophia Inkpin, born 1817 in England - died January 13, 1901 in Canada.

If there is anyone researching these families or has information on them, I would be delighted to share my information with you. I do have some photographs and records to share.
