14. | Daniel MCVICKER was born on 24 Mar 1845 in Shannonville, Tyendinaga Twp, Ontario, Canada (son of John MCVICKER and Ann O'CONNER); died on 28 Oct 1917 in Kingston, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada. Notes:
The 1881 Census lists Daniel as an Irish Sailor whose parents were born in Ireland, with no relation to the Daniel McVicker family (Mary McVicker's parents).
The family always referred to Daniel as "The Captain". Family tradition says that Captain Dan McVicker was a sea captain who sailed every sea. He was a lake captain who sailed the Great Lakes for years. He drowned on "The Ducks" shoals off Kingston, Ontario, as he was bringing in his ship for winter berth, about October 28, 1917.
Daniel and Mary were married on Aug 09,1872. The witnesses were James Nolan and Lizzie O'Neil.
The 1881 Census has Captain Dan and Mary, and the first four children living in the Millpoint (renamed to Deseronto) area of Tyendinaga Township, probably near where Mary's parents were living at the time.
The 1891 Census has them listed under Deseronto Village.
By 1891, the oldest child (Edward) is employed as a Sawmill labourer, and it is understood that he died while working in the woods in Central Hastings County.
The Death notice indicates that he died of appendicitis. His uncles, Patrick and James McVicker, went in with a team of horses, and brought his body out. Edward was buried in Marysville.
The youngest child, William or Willie, died at seven years of age.
The 1901 Census has Daniel emigrating into Canada in 1867 - not sure if he came by himself - he would have been 22 years of age.
Daniel married Mary MCVICKER on 9 Aug 1872 in Kingston, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of Daniel MCVICKER and Margaret O'CONNOR) was born on 8 Nov 1849 in Deseronto, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario,Canada; died on 25 Nov 1921 in Deseronto, Tyendinaga Twp, Hastings County, Ontario,Canada.
