REILLY Family

leonehinds1 — 4 Aug 2008 9:03:50 GMT

I am searching for any information about John Reilly Junior, son of John Reilly Sr. Junior born 1778 in NY colony,probably Mohawk Valley. Junior came into Niagara area as a child. He married (unknown) and is said to be father of Patrick, George, Sarah and Elizabeth. There are records of descendants of Patrick son of Junior but nothing has appeared to show descendants of George, Sarah and Elizabeth. I have seen material indicating that the Wintermute Family adopted REILLY CHILDREN but no explanation as to whom they once belonged, given names or circumstance under which adoption was necessary.Patrick, son of Junior was supposed to have been born in Esquesing Township in 1806, a very early date for a settlement in that Township. Any information or guidance to records would be sincerely appreciated.

UPTHEGROVE surname in Niagara in late 1700s

Sharon2491 — 9 Jul 2008 4:21:07 GMT

Nancy Ann UPTHEGROVE born in Ontario circa 1805 married (1837) Dennis KELLEY (or O'Kelley) also born in Ontario circa 1805. According to RootsWeb's WorldConnect the couple had five children, at least one of whom, their daughter Amanda, is known to have been born in Ontario (in Wainfleet Township in 1845). Nancy and Dennis at some point moved their family to Wisconsin where Dennis died in 1850 and Nancy remarried.

Looking especially for information on the parents of Nancy and Dennis. I have found a John UPTHEGROVE and Ann OBRAM UPTHEGROVE living in the Niagara area in the late 1700s. They are said to have come over the border from the USA during or immediately after the Revolution. Ann is thought to have some blood relationship to Seneca Chief Cornplanter. From various online sources I found the names of three sons born in Niagara: Abram (born 1776) Peter (born 1779), and Benjamin (born 1785).

Trying to see if there is any tie-in for Nancy to this family...a daughter???

Any information would be most appreciated.

HELP..SMITH Research

CNudds8776 — 23 Aug 2002 9:05:13 GMT

Having a lot of trouble finding the ancestors of my Grt Grandfather John Henry SMITH. John was born in Lincoln County August 29, 1844. In his marriage write up it said November 28, 1866 John Henry Smith, Clinton, Thorald son of Henry and Annie Smith married Mary Catherine Konkle.

I have some background on the Konkle family but as you can guess John Henry Smith has proven difficult. John and Mary Catherine had the following children: William Henry (grandfather), Pearl, George Hamilton, Delbert, Fred .

They moved from Beamsville to Lambton County about 1888 and then to Tobermory, Bruce County in early 1900's.

Does anyone know the background of this family in Lincoln County, specifically John's parents Henry and Annie Smith? This is a tall order but I have been very fortunate in finding information via this medium and thought it worthwhile checking

Thanks

Elmer Grant, d. 1967; Clyde & Mary Ann Grant

douglassgrant1 — 23 Jul 2008 6:34:41 GMT

I recently learned that Elmer Gordon Grant, born Cape Breton, died on 31 March 1967 and was buried in Victoria Lawn Cemetery, St. Catharines. Can anyone suggest how to obtain an obituary for him?

Also, Mary Ann (Mae) Grant, widow of Elmer's brother, Clyde Grant, lived on Newport St. in that city from 1961 until about 1986. Clyde himself died no later than 1961. I am aware that both brothers lived and worked in St. Catharines in the late 1930's and early 1940's, but have no information on family, date of death, etc. Any help with further data on that family would be deeply appreciated.

My grandfather always talked about being a second cousin of Lester B. Pearson so I believe she is a desendant of Marmaduke Pearson of Dublin Ireland.

Asa was born in MA, lived in Elgin/Malahide for years before he went to Michigan. He died in Genesee County, MI in 1875.

I need to have confirmation that the name of the Reverend in the following marriage record shown is correct in spelling.

John McKay of Niagara merchant 1792-1811

cloudbanks — 17 Oct 2001 1:52:30 GMT

Capt John McKay was a 18th century Niagara entrepreneur whose significance has been overshadowed by his former apprentices, Richard Hatt and Peter Desjardins. Perhaps I am obsessed, I just think John McKay deserves more credit and I have been looking in every nook & cranny I could
imagine for tid-bits on McKay. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

John McKAY,Treasury Loyalist, Niagara Merchant 1792-1811, husband of Margaret TEEPLE, son of Donald McKay. John McKay was a founding partner first with Peter DESJARDINS (Treasury Loyalist and yes it is that DesJardins of Hamilton & the Desjardins Canal) and subsequently, Richard HATT who developed Coots Paradise/Dundas. Hatt has been described a the most successful and innovative businessman of Upper Canada (DCB). To date, McKay had been recognized merely as one of a dozen early Niagara merchants, he extensively traded in land in the district. The mill seat and town site of Dundas, was owned by McKay when the Richard & Samuel Hatt started to develop the potential.

One daughter Margaret McKay (1800-1825) m. Robert DICKSON, barrister of Niagara.
Son John Donald Mckay bapt 1797 died of Cholera in Hamilton 1834, Ancaster merchant.
Son Alexander Robertson McKay (1799-1845) m. Anna Maria Milne, Ancaster merchant.

Victoria Lawn Cemetery Look up - Willison, Woolley, Large, Wellum/Willum

Diggergirl — 24 Mar 2008 8:53:47 GMT

Hi All

I have posted a couple of items of late to the Lincoln Board. I have an extended family from England who made their way from London to Lincoln Co around 1907-1915. The surnames unfortunately are ripe for mistranscriptions!

WELLUM, WOOLLEY, WILLISON, WELSH, WOODAGE and LARGE are the names in the family!

Elizabeth Woodage-Willison died Mar 1928 and is buried in Victoria Lawn Cemetery. I am wondering who else might be with her as she had a daughter Elizabeth Willison-Welsh?

Further her sister, Mary Ann Woodage-Wellum-Large, she died Jul 1913 and I suspect she too is in Victoria Lawn with a son Fred Large who died in 1921? And possibly other of her children by the surname Wellum/Willum. Mary Ann had a daughter Adelaide-Wellum-Woolley.

Can anybody lend me hand locating these individuals?

I would so appreciate the hand here...

Cheers

I am looking for info on three brothers, Samuel, George and Walter Wellum all born in England and all 3 enlisted in WWI while living in St. Catherine's Ontario Canada.

I cannot find them on the 1901 or 1911 census and suspect it is a case of mistranscription...further I think their last name Wellum might have had some creative spellings.

I cannot find any marriages, deaths or info on them other than their enlistments...I do have Ancestry and have checked and rechecked...

Anybody have something else or an idea of where I might get something on them?

Cheers

Book Family in Grimsby area

DaveCooper98 — 29 Jul 2006 1:28:30 GMT

I am researching the BOOK surname in Lincoln County, Grimsby, Beamsville and Smithville area. Also in Norfolk, Oxford and Halton Counties. Conrad BOOK, or Coonrod like his headstone reads in St Andrews Anglican Churchyard Cemetery in Grimsby, was one of the first family members to come to Canada from Germany via New Jersey. There is a hamlet in western Norfolk County, Ontario named after the Book family, Bookton has a few Book family members interred.

Swadling family, Gainsborough Ontario, 1840's...

Kim Archer — 22 Oct 2002 3:40:13 GMT

I am looking for information on William Swiss Swadling and his wife Margaret Goodrich Swadling who were living in Gainsborough, Lincoln Co. Ontario in the 1840's. They had at least 7 children: John Swadling b. abt. 1830, Moses Swadling b. abt. 1831, Nancy Swadling b. abt. 1836, William Francis Swadling b. March 23, 1839, Daniel More Swadling born March 3, 1841, & Jacob K. Swadling b. September 7, 1846. The last three boys were all born in Gainsborough. Moses Swadling married Charlotte Oliver, daughter of Leonard Oliver and Mary Persons, in the Talbot Dist. August 4, 1850. Nancy Swadling married John Henry Oliver, son of Leonard and Mary Oliver in Canada as well.

William Swadling moved his family south into Lapeer County Michigan abt. 1856. All but William Frances Swadling appear in the 1860 census for Lapeer Co. Michigan. By 1870 Robert Swadling had moved his family back to Oxford Co. Ontario. Daniel Swadling seems to have disappeared from records.

Other spellings for this surname are Swadlin, Swadlinge, and Swadlincote. We know that William Swiss Swadling was born in England abt. March 1787 and that he supposedly came to Canada as a baby. We have also heard that his wife was Margaret Goodrich, but also we have heard that she was Margaret Kennedy -- maybe Margaret Kennedy Goodrich, of Margaret Goodrich Kennedy. Moses Swadling's marriage was witnessed by a John Kennedy.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Abraham Nelles/Elizabeth Lewis

JSybalsky — 22 Feb 2008 9:30:00 GMT

I am trying to find proof that John Abraham Nelles parents are:
Father: Abraham Nells b, Dec 4, 1775 in Palatine, Tyron Co. New York, USA
Mother: Elizabeth Lewis

I have Abraham's will that lists his children one being John A. Nelles and the wording is a bit strange:

Abraham Nelles of the Township of Grimsby County of Lincoln, District of Niagara & Province of Upper Canada.................

........ I give, devise and bequeath unto John A. Nelles my son by a sister of the late Levi Lewis deceased a part of my Grand River Tract.........

The wording is strange as most wills give a wife's name, "my wife XXX" or "my deceased wife XXX" I have never seen my son by a sister of XXXX deceased. Who is deceased her or Levi Lewis?

Anyone?

Elisha Weaver in Grantham

In a marriage record, my ancestor Samuel S. Weaver, b. abt 1830 or 1835, lists his birthplace as Grantham twp and his parents as "Elisha" and "C. Bowman". Do these names ring a bell with anyone? I can't find any evidence of such people in Grantham at the time. However I do find, a few years later not far away in NY state, an Elisha T. Weaver (b. abt 1811) with wife Jane and several kids born in NY, living next door to a family of Bowmans! Circumstantial evidence, but intriguing. Insight or info from anyone?

I'm doing genealogical research on the Weavers of Lincoln / Louth & Grantham townships, 19th century. There were at least two families, one of German background, the other probably UEL. Two Samuel Seymour Weavers, the first a serious sinner, according to legend, the other a saint, or at least a Baptist Minister. Father of the first likely Peter Weaver. His father Francis Weaver, UEL? Peter and SSW1 are the folks who sold the Barnes Winery land to George Barnes. SSW1 married Eliza Melyn Gould and later her sister Margaret. If anyone has further info, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks.

St. Catharine, Lincoln County cemetaries

ginnyeakin — 4 Mar 2007 1:46:01 GMT

Is there any way to check above cemetary records (old of course) in this area? I have been searching for my Carlow and Kelleher families, a Mary Kelleher was for certain in that area and a (catholic) teacher. Sylvester Carlow, may not have been in that area long, I am not sure. Family rumor is there was a catholic FAMILY cemetary plot in Lincoln County (niagra or St Catharines), also possible at the convent overlooking the falls..... A living family member who is a retired nun in her late 80's, said she did find this old plot but "can't remember where".....sigh!!!!

St.Catharine's cemetary

siledee — 22 Oct 2007 3:15:20 GMT

Would I be right in saying that this is now called Victoria Lawn.I have just got a death record for my uncle(I'm sure its him..everything fits) on Ancestry.com which states he was buried in St.Catharines cemetary.Here are the details..
Name...John Mailie..age 22yrs
Date of death...July 11 1928
Date of burial...July 17 1928
Cause of death...accidental drowning
Occupation...deckhand on boat
Informant...captain of boat(Oxford)
Canada Steamship Lines

I have trawled every Canadian site on the internet over the last 4yrs looking for him but with no clues as to an area it was a needle in a haystack task.
Then last week I took a free trial at Ancestry and found him in 5 minutes..he wasn't there when I looked 8 months ago!
He was my Mom's brother,went to Canada(didn't know when) and was drowned.Thats ALL we knew. My grandmother must have known the details but it was never talked about.
I think I may have found his immigration record(1924) but I have to pay to view it which I will soon.
Now I have found him there are just so many questions!
Is there a headstone?(would think not as he had no relatives there that I know of)
Is there an obituary or a newspaper clipping of the accident?
Who would have paid for the interrment(Butler was the undertaker and Ive emailed them)
Where did he live?
Who would have informed my grandmother?
Would there have been an inquest...there was no autopsy per cert

Sorry for the long post but any info that anyone can give me will be very gratefully received. I can't do alot from this side of the pond.

Thank you ....Sheila in Ireland

Hope someone can help.

History of Newark

glovetown — 21 Nov 2007 6:58:31 GMT

Hello,

I have a copy of a letter from a man named Andrew Templeton. In it, he speaks of being in a place that is changing its name from "District of Na--ua and Town of Lennox" to The District of _ome and County of Lincoln and Town of Newark". I am wondering if anyone has any information about the town of Newark regarding such a name change. I believe the letter was written prior to 1803. In it, Mr. Templeton refers to working for a man named Andrew Heron. A man by that name was, I think, a prominent business man in the Newark/Niagara area. Andrew Templeton was born in the Wigtown area of Scotland, as was Mr. Heron; it would make sense that they were acquainted.

Thanks for any responses.

Jordan Mennonite Cemetery

deeza4 — 9 Oct 2007 5:53:22 GMT

I'm researching Walter Haynes who was a hotel propriator in St. Catharines. He was born abt. 1821-4 and died abt. 1873. He was a son of Jacob and Rachel Haynes. He was married to Margaret Russell and had 3 children. The hotel he ran was called Hotel Ontario, I believe. I think he had a brother, George, that ran an Inn(in the 1860's) that is now the Pelham Winery.
Does anybody have info on Hotel Ontario (location or history)? Any info where Walter may be buried greatly appreciated. I have heard about a Jordan Mennonite cemetery, it may be a possibility, but I live too far away to check.
