  1. 1.  George Carew Tunks was born in 1826 in Westminster, Middlesex, Ontario; died in 1905 in Ingersoll, Oxford, Ontario, Canada.

    Notes:

    moved to Illinois in the 1850s, probably with brothers but moved to Ingersoll by 1871.
    6 children
    -witnessed his brother Peter's marriage 1846

    Marriage witnessed by R. Dawson & Job Hammond (cousin)

    from Tunks descendant Chris Karlgaard, Aug. 25, 2015: "One interesting thing I did come across in the records was the name of Richard's company commander, Captain Robert Carew. Captain Carew was also apparently in command of the group of sick soldiers from the 82nd Foot at the battle of Talavera (see http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/c_detach.html). The 1814 muster rolls indicate that Captain Carew was Richard's company commander during the the battle of Orthez, France, and through the final months of the War of 1812. I think I have found a little information about Robert Carew here:

    I have to wonder if Richard named one of his sons, George Carew Tunks, after his former company commander. Its an interesting possibility. Do you have any information about this?"

    George married Eliza Ann Elson in 1852 in Westminster Tp, UC. Eliza (daughter of Andrew Elson and Charlotte Dyer) was born in 1835; died in 1924. [Group Sheet]
