| 12952 | From Library/Janet Hall Jeffrey/Item 11: "He was educated in the grammar school of his native town; spent some time in the office of his older brother, Francis Hall, civil engineer, and in 1820 came to Canada, with the family, locating in the township of Lanark, then in Carleton, now in Lanark county. His father built the first house in that township. There the son farmed a while, then had a store and distillery, doing more or less surveying at the same time. In 1830 Mr. Hall disposed of his stock and distillery; went to Halifax, N. S., and practised his profession as civil engineer and land surveyor; returned to Lanark in about two years, and went into the tanning business. In 1834 he sold out; went to Peterborough; started a tannery and store, and continued in trade until 1848, and in the tanning business till 1856. He was the first man who bought wheat at Peterborough, and that sent flour to Montreal and lumber to the American side Albany and Troy, N. Y. Mr. Hall was Sheriff of the united Counties of Peterborough and Victoria from 1856 to 1863, when the counties were separated, and of the County of Peterborough from the last date until November, 1872, when he resigned. Mr. Hall represented Peterborough and Victoria in the Canadian Parliament from 1848 to 1852, and in the Dominion Parliament from 1873 to 1878, representing East Peterborough. While in the latter body he succeeded in getting the Trent Canal bill through. In politics he is a Reformer. He has been a town and county councilor, was mayor two or three terms, and in many ways has made himself a useful citizen. He has quite a literary taste; has a library of about 1,000 volumes, including some of the British Classics, and was at one time President of the Peterborough Literary Club, and also of the Mechanics' Institute. He aided in starting a Sunday school in Peterborough, in 1835; was its superintendent many years, and has been an elder in the Presbyterian church for more than thirty years. In 1830, Jane Albro, daughter of Samuel Albro, of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, was joined in marriage with Mr. Hall; she died in 1868, while crossing the ocean with her husband and other members of the family, who were intending to make with her the tour of Europe. She left eight children, five sons and three daughters, all yet living. James Albro, the oldest son, has a family, and has been sheriff of the county of Peterborough since his father resigned, and has an excellent record as a citizen. Jane, the eldest daughter, is the wife of Sanford Fleming, Chief Engineer of the Pacific Railway, residing at Ottawa; Martha is the wife of Bingham Higginson, of Liverpool, England; Eliza is the widow of Alexander Smith, formerly a lumber merchant of Peterborough; Frank is a hardware merchant, Walkerton, Ont.; Frederick is deputy sheriff; and Henry is a barrister, both in Peterborough; and Charles is in the Civil Service Department at Ottawa. The present wife of Mr. Hall was Miss Jane Gifford. Ferguson, eldest daughter of Fergus Ferguson, of Edinburgh, Scotland, by whom he has one daughter, Alice Mary, aged eight years." | HALL, James III (I13)

| 12960 | From the Book - Historical Sketches of Prince Edward County by Dr. W.K. Burr - Lindley Calnan enlisted from the Univwersity of Toronto (for WW1) and went overseas with the British Navy as a balloon observer. He was of the few Canadians to witness the surrender of the German Fleet. He went out from the Firth of Forth with the British Fleet on board the British Battleship "Ajax", when they met the German vessels in the North Sea, and brought them to the Forth captors." | CALNAN, Lindley Bell (I16777)

| 12961 | From the Bull Family History NOTE. -The family of Stephen Bowerman moved to Battle Creek, Michigan. Stephen was married to Phebe Garrett - daughter of Isaac Garrett and Sarah Carman. They were married at the "Big White House," on the same day (Friday, 18th Sept., 1818) as were married William Garrett (brother of Phebe) and Patience Bull, and Townsend Garrett and Sally Bowerman. That was an occasion not to he overlooked; it was an early "triple-alliance," and demanded ratification by the assembled neighborhood, in the collective capacity of an old-timed charivari. That even was authentically stated by "the oldest inhabitant" never to have been surpassed for the extravagant invention of furious fun and frolic. The vestibuled Pullmans in which the newly contracted parties began their wedding tours consisted of heavy farm waggons without springs, and furnished with large waggon chairs. When these had been taken apart and replaced in proper shape upon the ground-for the charivaring party had placed them astride the barn roof-they were free to pursue their journey over the corduroy roads leading to their various residences near Wellington, then the Township of Ameliasburg. | BOWERMAN, STEPHEN (I1705)

| 12963 | From the Bull Family History Thomas (called "Big Tommy"), who lived for the greater part of his life on the town line between Hallowell and Hillier, near a country church which still bears the family name of "Bowerman's Church." In keeping with the family proclivity for magnificent visions, Thomas offered to "give the land, grade the road, and furnish the ties" for a section of railroad, as an inducement for the Grand Trunk Railway to be built through Prince Edward. Though a great undertaking, it would have been a profitable investment, and showed greater speculative foresight than many of his followers. He mar.

| 12964 | From the Bull Family History: NOTE. II. Mary Christy (widow of Josiah) and the three children by second marriage, came in 1817. They were brought by her brother William and his wife Ruth (Bull) Christy, in a covered lumber waggon. William had gone down to attend yearly meeting, no doubt prepared to bring back with him his sister Mary and her children. It will be seen that William married Riuth Bull - daughter of Josiah, while Mary Christy married Ruth's father Josiah. On the return journey they reached the house of Cory Spencer (Picton) where they had a mid-day dinner, thence proceeding to the bush farm of William Christy, about seven miles west. In 1886 "Aunt Lizzie Wallace" (see Spencers) said she was a school-girl when the Christys and Bulls came in 1817; and that when she came home for dinnor from the school-house, which stood on the hill overlooking the Bay, behind the residence of Mr. H. S. Wilcocks (1901), she found the arrivals at dinner at her father's. It is not known when the other members of the Bull family came; whether they all came at the same time or separately; but there is no doubt that they came about 1802, as John was mar. in Adolphustown in 1803 (according to the McDowell Reg.). | CHRISTY, Mary S (I8977)

| 12965 | From the LDS Biographical Encyclopedia at Ancestry.com. < Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume 2 Biographies Gillispie, Alexander Watson, Andrew A., survivor of the hand-cart immigration of 1856, a Patriarch in the Utah Stake of Zion, and a resident of Provo, was born at Kettlebridge, Fifeshire, Scotland, Oct. 13, 1832, the son of Jas. Watson and Janet Rumgay. The family were in humble circumstances, the father working for weekly wages as engineer-tender at the Burnturk Collieries. The position was one of care and responsibility for the safety of his fellow workmen. At eight years of age Andrew moved with his parents to Balmalcoln, another village, where, as at his birthplace, the principal occupation of the people was handloom linen weaving. There he attended the common school, where the Bible was used as a text book and impressed upon his young and tender mind the beautiful lessons of the gospel. He served a two years' apprenticeship at linen weaving, but had a natural liking for mechanism and the supervision of machinery. At his fathers death, in 1850, he took his place. Two years later he moved to Lumphinan's Coal and Iron Works, where he continued to labor as engine-tender. He was religiously trained, led a Godly life, and was acquainted with the Scriptures and the doctrines of different churches, though he joined none until he became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This was when he was about twenty-one. He was ordained a Priest Dec. 18, 1853, and an Elder June 25, 1855. During the latter year he was called into the ministry, and labored for nearly twelve months among saints and strangers prior to coming to Utah. Upon leaving his mother's home at Lumphinan April 28, 1856, he received from her the sum of ten pounds, also a suit of clothes from the saints with whom he had labored as a missionary. By way of Edinburgh and Glasgow he reached Liverpool, sailed thence to New York, proceeded to Chicago, and left that city on the 23rd of June for the outfitting camps on the frontier. It was the great hand-cart emigration. Young Watson was enrolled in Captain James G. Willie's company, one of those that suffered most severely while dragging their hand-carts through the piercing winds and heavy snow of the succeeding autumn. He records that on the 19th of October the last morsel of food was served, and that the relief wagons arrived on the 21st, just in time to rescue the starving companies. At Rocky Ridge and South Pass a fierce storm was encountered, and again the heroic little band were thrown into terrible danger. Fifteen died from fatigue and exposure. Bro. Watson himself was thoroughly exhausted, and would have perished but for the kind efforts of some of his companions who encouraged and urged him on. He makes special mention of a Sister Tofield, a Sister Evans, and of William Leadingham, captain of the guard, who proved themselves in that awful extremity devoted and self-sacrificing friends. The date of his arrival at Salt Lake City was the 9th of November. Patriarch Watson settled permanently at Provo, to which place he was sent by Bishop Edward Hunter. He did much pioneer work in that part, and helped to build the Woollen Mills, in which he is still a stockholder. In 1860 (Oct. 16th) he married Jane Allen, by whom he was the father of five children; he has two others by adoption. He married his second wife, Margaret Purvis, in January, 1881, and his first wife died March 21, 1882. From May 17, 1857, to June 20, 1877, he held the office of a Seventy, and was connected with the forty-fifth quorum. He was then ordained a High Priest and set apart as first counselor to Bishop John E. Booth, of the Provo Fourth Ward, serving also as first counselor to his successor, Bishop Joseph B. Keeler, until December 9, 1900, when he was released, owing to age and declining health. Meantime, from 1877 to 1879, he had visited his native Scotland as a missionary. He was ordained a Patriarch under the hands of Apostle Reed Smoot, June 24, 1902. A friend of the subject has said of this good and worthy man: "Andrew Watson's life has been so close an exemplification of the divine injunction, 'Let not thy right hand know what thy left hand doeth' that it would be almost impossible to get from him a resume of his life further than matters of name and date." The writer has seen him in conversation with friends, when his face has became animated and tears streamed down his aged cheeks, as he bore testimony to the goodness of God and the divine mission of Joseph Smith. His boyhood days were spent in an almost constant struggle for the support of himself and his father's family. His greatest joy was that brought by the gospel. His hardships in crossing the plains with, a hand-cart company came very near costing him his life. One of his greatest desire now, as he nears the close of life, is to thank those good sisters, his traveling companions, for the sacrifices they made for him when strength failed and he became stiffened with cold and fatigue. To their kindness and God's mercy he owes his life,—that beautiful life which has been an example of true Christian piety to all who know him. The pioneer residents of Provo remember him as a young man of twenty-five, toiling in a blacksmith shop, where plow-shares were made from wagon tires: again making ditches, grading canyon roads and carding wool at Holdaway's carding machines and the new Woollen Mills, thus helping to make and increase the industries of the growing town. In the "move" from Salt Lake City in 1858 he was a prominent worker, and through many nights of that perilous time he stood guard. Through his liberal contributions the emigration funds were often swelled, though his mother, the dearest emigrant to him, did not live to use the means he provided for her journey to Zion. Through the long years that have followed those pioneer days, whether years of adversity or of prosperity, Brother Watson and his devoted helpmates, Sisters Jane and Maggie, with one accord have held open their hearts and their home for the poor that need aid and the distressed that need comfort. Their home has always been a home for the widow and the orphan and many such have found shelter therein. When the books are opened before the Eternal Judge, Andrew Watson shall not lack for the good testimony of men and of angels. The Father will surely say, "Good and faithful servant, enter thou into my rest." | WATSON, Andrew (I5539)

| 12967 | From the Picton Gazzette (1931): Sherman Cooper, of Cobourg, drove down to Prince Edward County, visited Mr. & Mrs. Wallace Garratt at Wellington, and then took his mother Eliza back to Cobourg for a month's visit. Eliza died on Friday, November 23, 1934 in her 85th year at the home of her son Roy Cooper of West Lake. Eliza is buried in the Hicksite Cemetery in Bloomfield. Eliza and her husband were Quakers by religion. Her obituary in the Picton Gazzette read as follows: " Eliza Goodmurphy Cooper was a faithful Friend and her voice was frequently heard in Meetings. Eliza had shown much interest in Women's Institute before her declining health, and was accepted as an authority on bee culture. She was a woman of fine mind, that was well stored with knowledge obtained from poetry, biography and philosophic works. She was an advanced thinker, and her outlook was along the way of convincing truth. Her broad mind, charity and kindness, won for her many friends. Those who knew her best will miss her presence, as few there are who can fill her place." | GOODMURPHY, LUCETTA ELIZA (I6)

| 12970 | From Tom Loghrin's Wikitree entry, taken May 26, 2020: "Alfred grew up in New Hamburg. He graduated from the evangelical Wheaton College in Illinois in 1911 and three years later from the modernist Chicago Theological Seminary. Alfred said, "Ozora Stearns Davis, President of Chicago Seminary exercised a profound influence over me. I learned more from him than from all the rest of the faculty together." Of his marriage to Jane Jeffrey in 1914 he said, "The marriage will take place very quietly in August." On September 1, 1914 he "returned home" to Tacoma, Washington where he was ordained in his first job as an Associate Pastor. The sermon was by his brother, Rev. Ira Milton Grey. His daughters were born in 1915 and 1917 and Alfred said, "My great purpose in life is to live for them and rear them to noble womanhood." Other points of reference in his life were: In 1920 he had a parsonage in Waukesha, Kansas. From 1941 to 1947 he owned a 70 acre farm in the Sebringville, Ontario area which was farmed and later purchased by Wm. Monteith Jeffrey. From 1942 to 1952 he had a parish in Toledo, Ohio. From June, 1952 to October, 1953 he lived in Stratford and had a parish in Harmony and Tavistock, Ontario.[1] Milly Swartzbaugh, had this to say about her grandfather, Alfred: He and his brother Milton loved to fish together. He was a wonderful preacher, blessed with a keen wit and sense of humour. He served many churches, but perhaps his longest pastorates were in Lawrence, Kansas and Toledo, Ohio. One man told me after his death, "To be with Alfred Grey WAS to be happy." That was how I felt about him as well." | GREY, Reverend Alfred Daniel (I357)

| 12971 | From: Ancestors and Descendants of William Edward Rowell. By William W. Hatcher Sr. < The Rowells were a pioneer family of Crawford County. Houston County was formed out of Indian lands in 1820. Crawford County was formed out of Houston County in 1822. In one of the early Georgia Land Lotteries of the early 1820's Nancy Malon a widow of Clark County, Drew Land Lot 23, second district of then Houston County, now Crawford County Georgia on the 9th day of July 1823. William Rowell purchased part of Land Lot 23 from David Bush for the sum of three hundred and eighteen dollars on the 14th of October, 1823. On some of the early census' this was referred to as Webb's District. A land lot in the state of Georgia consist of 202 ½ acres, more or less. A return of appraisement on his estate after his death states that he owned 110 acres in Crawford County. The same return from estate records in Crawford County list 160 acres in original Cherokee County in the 28th District of the third section which the appraisers did not see. There is no further information or record in Crawford County on the dispensation of this piece of property. The following is excerpted from 'Wills of Crawford County' by Sunnie Wilder and William R. Henry done for the Central Georgia Genealogical Society, Inc,: In his will, he gave his wife a life tenancy in the balance of his property. In the records of Crawford County, Edward Rowell bought one hundred acres, more or less, recorded December 25th, 1871, he being the highest bidder. So we can conclude that Penelope expired in 1871. She was listed on the 1870 census as being 82 years old. Daniel, Temperance T. Bryant, Elizabeth Wellons, and M.A. Hatcher signed the deed conveying the property to Edward for the sum of eight hundred dollars. All of the above would have been the sole surviving heirs of William on that date. >From bible records previously mentioned, we know that William and Penelope had at least nine children. Of that nine children, we have extensive information on the following and their descendants: Daniel, Temperance, Elizabeth, Edward, and Martha. We have limited information on Susan. Other than their birth dates we have no information on Emily, William L., and Nancy C. In the old Rowell cemetery, located off the confluence of Hopewell and OakGrove Church Road in Northwest Crawford County, there is one headstone with information inscribed on it. It is of Emily F., wife of W.C. Smith. Born Aug. 22, 1847. Died Apr 9, 1892. I have been unable to define this family due to the lack of more concrete information and the commonality of his initials and last name, as you can very well imagine. I believe that she holds the key to at least one of the other daughters, possibly Emily C.. So far, I haven't been able to crack this nut. These notes were written by William Chapman (Bill) and given to Helen Manning. More About WILLIAM ROWELL: Fact 1: Trade: Blacksmith, Gunsmith, Farmer Fact 2: Father was Revolutionary War Soldier Fact 3: 1788, Father had Bounty Land Grant in Burke Co. Ga. Fact 4: Bef. 1805, Father relocated to Washington Co. Ga. Fact 5: 1806, Met and married Penelope Brown Fact 6: 1807, Ga.

Fact 8: 1824, Lived on this land until early 1824 Fact 9: 1812, Served in Jones Militia Co. in war of 1812 Fact 10: 1823, October 14, 1823 purchased 110 acres of land lot 23, 2nd land district of Crawf. His name is on a list of participants in the 1807 Georgia Land Lottery for Franklin, Wilkinson, and Baldwin Counties. He is listed as a resident of Howard's Militia District, Washington County, Georgia. He drew land lot 75 in the 9th land district of Baldwin County. The cost to him for this property was $8.30 for registration fees. Jones County was formed out of Putnam and Baldwin Counties in 1808. This land lot and land district are in present day Jones County located north and east of the city of Gray west of of highway 129, off of North Cross Road 'at the head of Hog Creek'. Bible records in the possession of Melvyn Rowell tell us that William Rowell was born to Robert and Temperance Rowell on the 18th day of February, 1783. The birth date for Penelope Rowell is recorded as the 3rd day of December, 1788. On the 1880 U. S. Census, the first to ask for the birth place of a persons parents, son Edward and daughter Elizabeth, gave the birth place of their father as North Carolina. Their son Daniel and daughter Temperance are listed as saying he was born in Georgia. Other documentation suports the fact that he was born in North Carolina and refutes the listing for Georgia as his place of birth. (* See notes for Robert). Penelope was always listed as being born in North Carolina. I have not been able to find a marriage date or location for them. The same Bible records referred to above give a birth date for Daniel as November 29, 1807. 1805 Georgia Land Lottery records tell us that Robert Rowell and Dempsey Brown were residents of Washington County at that time. 1807 Georgia Land Lottery records tell us that Robert and William Rowell along with Dempsey Brown were still residents of Washington County at that time. Therefore, I think we can safely assume that William and Penelope were most likely married in 1806 \ 07 in Washinton County, Georgia. He was listed on the tax list for Jones County, Georgia for 1811. He paid taxes on 202 1\2 acres of land at the head of Hog Creek. His name is on a list of soldiers, War of 1812, Jones Georgia Militia company. Houston County was formed out of Indian lands in 1820. Crawford County then was formed out of Houston County in 1822. In the 1820 Georgia Land Lottery, Nancy Malon, a widow, drew land lot 23 in the second land district of then Houston but now Crawford County. The drawing for this property occured on July 9, 1823. William Rowell purchased 110 acres of this property from a David Bush in a transaction recorded on October 14, 1823, for the sum of $318. In December of 1823, he sold the Jones County property for $1000. The above information, coupled with the information on his father, would make him, not once, but four times a frontier settler of Georgia. In the 1832 Georgia Land Lottery, as a resident of Harris' Militia District, Crawford County, Georgia he drew 160 acre land lot 210, in the 28th district of the third section of then Cherokee County but now Walker County. I have been unable to determine the dispensation of this piece of propery. Two days prior to his death, he made a Nuncupative Will (a verbal will made before witnesses) as follows: From the abstract in 'Wills of Crawford County, GA, 1835-1948', p 10: Rowell, William 14 September 1841, recorded 2 November 1841 page 31, Will Book 'A'. Nuncupative Will certified by witnesses as given on 7 September 1841, two days before he death. His son Daniel to have all that portion of land lying on the south side of the big creek (it by name being Alkahatchy) of lot Number 23. second land district, of originally Houston but now in Crawford County. Witnesses were Robert M. Owen (* a minister), James Harris, Simeon Hammock and Asa Jolly. Certified by witnesses as being given on 8 September, 1841. One day prior to his death: His son, Daniel C. Rowell, to have all that portion of land lying on the south side of the big creek (it by name being Alkahatchy) of lot 23, second land district of originally Houston but now Crawford County. He went on to say he wanted his wife to have the balance of the property for her life time, and upon her death, to be equally divided amongst the rest of his children. Witnesses: William S. Wellons (*his son-in-law), Robert Bryant (*his other son-in-law that made his mark as he evidently could not read or write), Eliza Ann Owen (*wife of Robert M. Owen), and Robert M. Owen (*a minister). The items in his estate that appraisers saw and listed included blacksmith and gunsmith tools (*purchased by his son, Edward). Therefore, we can conclude that he was a farmer, blacksmith, and gunsmith. In a transaction recorded on December 25, 1871, Edward Rowell purchased from his remaining siblings the piece of property in Crawford County for the sum of $800. Since Penelope had a life tenancy in the property, we can conclude that she had expired some time in 1871. She was 83 years of age on the 1870 U. S. Census. Those individuals signing the property over to Edward were: Daniel C. Rowell, Temperance Rowell X (her mark), Elizabeth Wellons and M. A. (Martha) Hatcher. | ROWELL, 1812 William Edward (I12377)

| 12974 | From: The Settlement of Prince Edward County by Nick and Helma Mika. Transcribed here by Linda Herman Pioneers of Prince Edward County BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES "Samuel's son, James E., went to see his father off, and found a small discarded uniform, donned it, and joined his father against the Fenians. Both father and son were awarded the Fenian Raid medal and received land grants in Ontario, living side-by-side on the third Concession of Ameliasburgh. James E. Glenn also received the Long Service Medal, being the first man in Prince Edward County to be given that honour. He became a Captain in the Militia, in command of the Consecon Company for ten years, resigning in 1899. He then became Captain of the Ameliasburgh Rifle Association. He taught school for twenty-five years in Ameliasburgh, sixteen of them in the Adams school. He was also a councillor in 1881, and later became Deputy Reeve and then Reeve. In 1894 he became Warden, and in 1901, Township Treasurer." | GLENN, James Edward (I38)

| 12975 | From: The Settlement of Prince Edward County by Nick and Helma Mika. Transcribed here by Linda Herman Pioneers of Prince Edward County BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES DAVID GLENN "He was married to first cousin of John A. Macdonald. By trade, David Glenn was a weaver in Northern Ireland. He was married to Annie Macdonald, first cousin of Sir John A. Macdonald who became the first Prime Minister of Canada. The young couple courageously embarked on the ocean voyage with their two small children in 1820, which brought them to Hay Bay, where they remained for the next ten years. David earned his living as a weaver until he thought it wise to invest in land for his family's future. He moved to Ameliasburgh where he bought two hundred acres for four dollars an acre on the second Concession. David continued weaving, supplying most of the local populace between Carrying Place, Roblin's Mills and Mountain View with his services. David passed away in 1864, and his wife followed him in 1866." | GLENN, David (I9909)
