Notes:

[from George DeKay]: William Walters (1769-1850) was a lawyer belonging to the firm of Walters and Geach in
Newport, County Monmouth, Wales. He was married to Mary Philips, daughter of Squire
Philips, a man of considerable means. Walters became, in time, independently wealthy but
lost heavily through bank failures.
After this he decided to start a new life in America and left Wales in March 1816 leaving his
wife and seven children behind. He arrived in the Talbot Settlement in Upper Canada and
obtained the east half of Lot 37, Con. 2 in Westminster Township.
By 1818 he was ready to send for his wife and children. They arrived in 1819. His wife,
Mary, died the next year and was buried in Brick St. Cemetery.

With her death William Sr. decided to leave the farm to his twin sons, William Jr. and Walter
and about 1824 he moved to the Welsh settlement in Denfield in London Township. With his professional background his advice was trusted and much valued in this new settlement. He was a Deacon in the Denfield Baptist Church for many years.minster in 1820 [DWT]
