Jeremiah LUNDY m. Rebecca Crossley

roz — 29 Nov 2004 6:14:17 GMT

I'm seeking information on Jeremiah and his wife Rebecca Crossley.
I have Jeremiah's ancestry, seeking his descendents and families. I descend from his son Nathanial.b. 1815.

I would also like any information/hints/clues regarding Rebecca Crossley, parents/sibs, etc.

Jeremiah, had two children by his first wife Jerusha Stevens and several by his second wife Rebecca Crossley; the names of no children have been ascertained. He lived first in Uxbridge and then in Whitchurch; he next went to Tecumseh and lastly to Scott Township where he died at the age of seventy six.

He was of tall slight figure; he was in the British army during the war of 1812 and took part in several battles. He was also engaged in the Rebellion of 1837 where he lost his rifle, but escaped being caught.

I need assistance re;Upper Canada/Aussie convivt

allystree — 5 Aug 2008 11:55:49 GMT

My ancestor Henry Rose was involved in the Upper Canada Rebellion (or not, as his crime implies!)
Henry was sent to Australia aboard the 'Maitland', departed Sheerness and arrived Australia July 1840
He was born in Huntingdonshire (UK?) and was a 'labourer and soldier'.
He was tried at an Upper Canada Court Martial on 14th Aug 1839 and was sentenced to life for Desertion.
This is the only information I have on Henry (apart from marriage, children and death). I have obtained this from the NSW Convict Indents.
From this information I think Henry was probably in the British Military.
Can anyone advise me where, how I might find further details, particularly of his trial. Was it the norm for a prisoner to be sent from Canada back to Britian and then onto Australia?
Any assistance greatly appreciated,
thanks, Alison

New Book on 1837 Rebellion

Robert Rieger — 16 Mar 2005 9:34:57 GMT

Has anyone read "To the Outskirts of Habitable Creation" by Stuart Scott, a retired professor of Anthropology? This is a highly readable, scrupiously researched account of the 1837 rebellion, including the transportation of the participants to penal servitude in Van Dieman's land, and their ultimate redemption and repatriation. I think this book would be a great resource for anyone interested in geneaology involving the Great Lakes and Canadian regions.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone with comments on the book.

Pied-Au-Courant records?

michelleromanski — 14 Feb 2005 5:54:27 GMT

Does anyone know where records can be found of trials/incarcerations of Patriotes that were held at the prison at Pied-Au-Courant. I have some reason to think my great, great grandfather, who was a Patriote, was held there.

Thank you for any help you could provide.

newly published book about the Rebellion of 1837

stupat — 27 May 2006 7:17:00 GMT

I share the interest in the Canadian Rebellion of 1837 of all the people on this message board and have corresponded with several of them. I think it would be of interest to anyone researching the Rebellion in Upper Canada to know that after 25 years of researching the conflict, I have just published a 514-page book. It details the 1837-1838 cross-border raids and their aftermath, especially regarding the 92 Americans and Canadians who were transported to Van Diemen’s Land. You can correspond with me via my e-mail address: stupat@worldnet.att.net, and also find more about the book on my web site:

William Lyon MacKenzie

Danny — 9 Dec 2002 4:18:30 GMT

Why did William Lyon Mackenzie lack popular support in the rebellions of 1837 in Upper Canada? In what way did he lack leadership abilities?

Please help for my socials essay.

BATTYE WALFORD Marriage 1840

TacyByram — 12 Apr 2004 7:02:21 GMT

Captain Edward M. Battye of 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers married Catherine A. Drawwater Walford daughter of John Thomas Walford of the 34th Regiment of Foot in 1840 in Canada.

I am looking for information on this marriage. I do not know the city but assume it was probably Ontario.

Matthews who fled following the battle??

MelissaMatt50 — 28 Oct 2003 7:40:28 GMT

Hello, I have been reasearching my Matt genealogy for a little while now, and I can't seem to get past my g-g-g-grandfather, Joseph Matte who would have been born about 1800. I have just learned (believe me, I really wish I hadn't, because this now makes things much more difficult than just trying to locate a marriage registry) that the name used to be Matthews, and the name was changed to Matte, to escape prosecution following the rebellion.
As this route is very new to me (all of 10 minutes) is there someone that can tell me if there is any listing of rebels, or any way I might verify this?
thank you,
Melissa Matt.
