Stephen and Elizabeth Jelbert (Gilbert) married 17 August 1809 in Redruth, Cornwall. She was born 1 June 1791 and died 2 April 1851 in Redruth.
Her parents: Richard Gilbert b 24 October 1763 in Illogan, Cornwall, married 4 January 1789 in Redruth to Elizabeth Reynolds who was born 26 December 1765 in Redruth. Richard and Elizabeth Reynolds Gilbert also had a son Richard Gilbert born 1 November 1789 in Redruth.
Richard’s parents were Edward Gilbert and Anne Rogers (no info on either). Elizabeth Reynold’s parents were Wm Reynolds and Joan (no maiden?)
Stephen and Elizabeth Jelbert Bawden had, in Redruth:
1. Stephen - b 6 April 1812, ch 25 April 1813, married Mary Terrill born 8 April 1817 in Redruth, dtr of Samuel and Mary (Trewren or Tremain) Terrill of Redruth. Mary's sister, Elizabeth Clemo and dtr Elizabeth lived with the family, too. Mom married Wm. Clemo and it is thought she was divorced before she came to the US and lived with brother Stephen in Phildelphia and Iowa.
2. Harriet – ch 5 March 1815 – possibly housekeeper (June 1870 US census) for English couple in Franklin Twnshp, Naughton Cnty, MI; 23-yo miner Matthew H. Dennis, 22-yo wife Eliza Jane and 1-mo son William John.
3. Edwin - ch 30 March 1817. Joined gold rush to Alaska, mined gold for wife’s ring, married Elizabeth Kitto(e) in Redruth, came to Mineral Point / Linden, Iowa County, WI, (US) and set up blacksmith shop. They had 5 children. Edwin / Edward died of horse kick in the head in early 40 yo.
4. John- ch 18 April 1819 no info
5. Henry - ch 1 April 1821 no info, married Josepha Matthews and lived and died in Moonta, Australia as a carpenter.
6. Elizabeth – ch 15 March 1823: came to US (no date) as part of brother Stephen’s (1 above) household in 1860. It is not known if she came with Stephen and Mary but 1860 federal census says she was part of his household.
7. Caroline – ch 5 October 1825. Married Thos Vivian b. 1826 in Redruth. Dtr Caroline Bawden Vivian married John Henry Harris from Devon.
8. Matilda – ch 19 July 1830. Came to US (no date) possibly with sister Elizabeth. 1860 federal census says she was part of brother Stephen’s household in Rockingham Twnshp. She married Mr. Knotwell (no name, no date or location) and they had a child named M B Knotwell (Oakdale Memorial Gardens database). I'm guessing by the history of naming children, it was probably a dtr named Matilda Bawden Knotwell. The child (no gender in the records) died at 5 yrs of brain fever (cholera) and is buried with grandparents Stephen and Mary. There is no burial info for Matilda or Knotwell in Oakdale.
I can trade Terrill info with anyone. My list goes back to Mary's grandparents.
