No man was ever more devoted to his profession or succeed better, in fact he was one of the brightest lights that the veterinary profession has ever known.

| 13612 | Hi Bob – just in case you were thinking I had completely abandoned all Millie research……a couple of weeks ago, I used the website www.scotsorigins.com to try and track down HAM’s birth certificate. I was planning to get hers first and then work through her siblings. Remember that I had assumed that she was born in the Inverness area of Scotland for various reasons:- An aunt of mine recalled that she came from Inverness. Her father’s name, as entered on her marriage certificate was Robert Rumgay Millie and the Rumgays are, as you know, a widespread Scottish family. Despite being resident in Dublin at the time of her wedding, she and John Robert Scott made the effort to travel all the way back to Inverness to get married. It must have been a nightmare journey in those days. As both her parents were dead by the time of her marriage, I could only assume that she was going ‘home’ to get married for sentimental reasons. Anyway, Scots origins charge a small amount of money and take a little time, but I was gobsmacked (as we say here in Blighty) to receive an email telling me that “There is no record of this birth in the OPRs anywhere in Scotland between 1845 and 1854.” So why, in the name of all that’s holy, did the silly old trout go gallivanting off to bonny Scotland to tie the knot with JR? I just don’t get it. Of course, there is the possibility that she was born in Ireland, but I really hope not because that will make it virtually impossible to track down a certificate. Meanwhile, I remembered a scrap of paper I have on which my great aunt Olive (HAM’s daughter) had scribbled “Alfred Goodbody, son of Richard Goodbody. Alfred Goodbody 1st cousin to Grandmother Millie.” The Grandmother Millie she refers to would, of course have been Elizabeth Beale. So…bearing in mind that families tended to stick together much more in days gone by, I began to search for anywhere that showed Beales and Goodbodys occurring in clusters. By some circuitous route, I managed to find the website for Abney Park Cemetery in north London. It lists 22 Beals, 62 Beales and 14 Goodbodys. Unfortunately, I haven’t got any further than that. It is all very frustrating and so annoying that we cannot come up with any concrete evidence, only shots in the dark and supposition. Best, Clare. | MILLIE, Henrietta Amelia (I322)

They had nine Felker children. Ontario Death Registration 033246. Hiram Albert Felker, B Oct 13, 1844, Saltfleet, Farmer, died July 22, 1911 Son of John Frederick Felker, born Sate of New Jersey & Mrs Bentley, b. Pennsylvania. Died of Heart failure, Sudden. Hiram Felker was born in 1844 on the farm and lived there until he died in 1911. His son Joseph Benjamin Felker was born there as well & he carried on the family tradition until his death in 1956. His children sold the farm to a developer in 1961 & most of the table land was developed for houses. This has caused Felker's Falls to be located in a subdivision. Around this time there was a land acquisition program along the Niagara Escarpment in an effort to preserve as much of this UNESCO world biosphere as possible. The Hamilton Conservation Authority currently owns and operates the land. Ref: Hiking the Greater Toronto Area, 2018. - - - | FELKER, Hiram Albert (I63)

Except in a few instances the enumerator failed to distinguish between North & South of Dundas Street. It has therefore been impossible for the copyist to be certain of the location of a large proportion of those lots lying in the 1st & 2nd Concessions. Any question is best answered by referring to the Trafalgar Township Abstract Index at the Halton County Registry Office at Milton, Ontario. The first census of the Province of Upper Canada was taken in the year that it became Canada West, 1841. About 1948 when the researching for the Oakville history was going forward, the 1841 Census of Trafalgar Township was discovered in the Public Archives of Canada at Ottawa. Unlike its successors which were recorded in ledgers, the data for this first census was written on a tremendous sheet of paper some 6 or 8 feet square. Having seen little use, this sheet was then in very good condition & my sister, Dr. Juliet Chisholm, took a copy of much of the essential data. The names run down the left hand side, the headings across the top & these are divided perpendicularly & horizontally by lines forming a grid. The last time this census was seen it was so torn as to be almost unreadable. For this reason the following transcript was made of the data." . 1856 Jun 5 - Berrien County.

Colonel Alfred Booker (13th Hamilton Battalion, later the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry), upon whom command of Canadian volunteers had devolved (because of another's stupidity or cowardice), was determined by a board of inquiry to have handled his men poorly at the Battle of Ridgeway (sometimes referred to as the Battle of Lime Ridge), during the Fenian Raid at Niagara on June 2, 1866. The Irish-Americans numbered about 900 (after 200 desertions upon crossing the Niagara River). On this day they clashed with about 800 advancing Canadian militia commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Alfred Booker. Fenian scouts on horseback were mistaken for cavalry, and orders to defend against a cavalry charge, although quickly countermanded, led to chaos in the Canadian ranks and Booker ordered a withdrawal after only one to three hours of battle. The Canadian line began contracting, "What are they doing?", the Fenians asked. It was a square. "Haven't seen that since Bull Run," was heard from the ranks. The battle commenced according to plan. The skirmishers engaged the Canadian enemy and then withdrew. Unfortunately someone in the first line fired revealing the trap. The Crown forces began to conform to meet this new threat. They advanced, and the Fenians fell back on their reserves. Then the Canadians formed a square. Their officers had seen horseman, and, in the tradition of Wellington, adopted his tactics from Waterloo in 1815. The Fenians, being offered a stationary target in-depth, let them have it.

| 13639 | His birthplace has been given as both Rhode Island and Scotland. The first mention of James Burdick in the public records is when he bought land from Azariah Reed (of Lanesborough, Mass.) for 13 pounds 4 shillings, recorded on 30 Oct 1770 (Book A, page 433). This document says that James is 'of Lanesboro'. Another early record we have of James Burdick is his baptism into the Lanesborough Congregational Church as an adult on 27 Sep 1772. A second adult, Isaac Smith, was baptized on the same day. The record states that when he was baptized his wife, Phebe Burdick, was absent. Their daughters, Abigail, Phebee and Rachel were all baptized on 12 Nov 1772. Their son, Enoch, was baptized 6 Nov 1774, and their son, Samuel on 25 August 1776. James Burdick served in the American Revolution as a private in Cpt. Joseph Barnes' Co, Col. Benjamin Symond's Regiment. His Berkshire County Regiment enlisted 26 Apr 1777, discharged 10 May 1777, Service 24 days; they marched to Saratoga, NY, by order of Maj. Gen. Gates. (from Mass. Soldiers and Sailors, Boston, 1896, p. 825). The land records of Lanesborough, Berkshire Co., Mass., show that James Burdick bought two lots in Richmond, Mass., on 28 Sep 1777 from his brother, Freedom Burdick, who was then living in Fredericksburg, Dutchess Co., NY. Several of James' children were born in Coeymans Patent, New York, in the 1780's, which is directly west of Lanesborough, and has one county between (Renselaer Co.) and is 12 miles south of Albany. Coeymans Patent derives its name from a large tract of land purchased by Barent Pieterse Coeymans (Coymans, Koijemans) in 1673 and later divided among his descendants and a few early settlers after his death in 1710. The christening records of the Coeymans Reformed Church (1793-1845) in Albany, NY, were extracted in 1990, but no Burdick family members appear. This may be because they were 'dissenters'. John Rockwell of Lanesborough sold land to James Burdick of Lanesborough for 35 pounds, being 10 acres bordering on land which James already owned. The deed is dated 14 March 1785. No mention is made of the name of John Rockwell's wife. (deed book C, page 219, film #1749798). James Burdick of Lanesborough sold land to Isaac Smith Jr. of Lanesborough for 8 pounds 2 shillings , containing about 3 acres, and adjoining land already owned by Isaac Smith Jr. (Deed book C, page 521, film # 1749798). James Birdict [sic] appears on the 1790 Census of Vermont, living in the town of South Hero, in Chittenden County. The Town Records say that his "Mark for sheep swine and Cattel is a happeney under the left Eare Rec'd on to Record this 7th Day of December 1791 by me Ebn'r Allen Town Clerk. April 12 1797 The above Mark is now Set to Warren Corbin. Constant Reynold Town Clerk." (Vol. 2, page 6)(film # 0028855) In 1801, James Burdick, of the Township of Oxford, Ontario, Canada, was appointed by the Court to be a keeper of a Standard for Weights and Measures in the Room of Hammon Lawrence, who is discontinued (page 21). The land records of West Oxford, entry # 59, show that on October 20, 1801, James Burdick, Yeoman, purchased Lot No. 16, in the Broken Front Concession, Oxford Township, Oxford County (on the Thames River) in a 'Clergy Reserve.' Clergy Reserve lands were given to the clergy of the Church of England, and were eventually sold by them in order to support themselves. After he moved to Ontario, James Burdick built the second mill in the area, which was on Centreville Creek, in Oxford County, at the 1st Concession in 1806-7. It was a combination grist mill and sawmill, in a building sixteen feet square. In her book, Marjorie E. Cropp says that the Burdick family settled west of Beachville in 1803 On March 18, 1807, James Burdick was recommended for a Commission in the Militia of Oxford County, Ontario, and was noted to be a 'respectable' man (the Early History of the London District, Ontatio Historical Society, Vol 24, page 226). The 1812 assessment of people living upon the Thames River shows Freedom Burdick, Enoch Burdick, Caleb Burdick, Isaac Burdick, Joel Piper, Allen Sage, Heman Janes, and Peter Teeple. Here begin the notes from Dorothy Irene Haist (10 Oct 1909 - ____) as given on the Internet: James appears to be the first Burdick of his line to leave Rhode Island. Church records show that he joined the Lanesborough Congregational Church, on Sept. 27 1772. It was from Massachusetts that he found himself involved in the American Revolution, and he appeared on the roster of the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the War of the Revolution, Vol. 2 (pg. 825) as: BURDICK, JAMES. Private, Capt. Joseph Barns Co. Col. Benjamin Symonds (Berkshire Co.) regt.; enlisted April 26, 1777; discharged May 10, 1777; service 24 days; marched to Saratoga by order of Maj. Gen. Gates. The 1790 Census shows James and his family living in Chittenden Co., V ermont, and he later went to Oxford County, Ontario, where he lived near Ingersoll. James was apparently living at "Bertie" at the "Ferrying Place" in 1796 with his family and his son-in-law Hamon Lawrence. See the following public record:1797: Public Archives of Canada, Upper Canada Land Petitions, 'B' Bundle 3, part 1, 1791-1820, R. G. I. L3, Vol. 29,#12 See appendix... "On July 18,1797, 'Thomas Ingersoll wrote to the Surveyor General indicating that James Burdick had approached him in April of that year for permission to locate in Oxford-on-the-Thames. A supporting document to James' petition for a land grant as a UEL was a sworn declaration by Isaac Smith and Jonathon Smith of Lanesborough, Massachusetts dated January 19th 1798. Isaac Smith was likely the father of Phoebe Smith, the wife of James. "We the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the Town of Lanesborough in the County of Berkshire, & Commonwealth of Massachusetts do hereby Certify whom to it may concern that we were well acquainted with James Burdick some time since an Inhabitant of the Town of Lanesborough aforesaid that in the Late War between Great Britain n and America the said James Burdick took part on the side of the British Government that he was once and again called before Committees of Correspondence & safety was fined & confined to his farm and disarmed at the Battle of Bennington. The said James Burdick was with the British Army, was taken captive by the Americans and taken to Southam Gaol, there confined for Seven or Eight months. He then broke the goal and made his escape. Signed "Isaac Smith" Jonathan Smith" "Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Berkshire, Lanesborough, January 19th 1798" and sworn as-true before a Justice of the Peace. Burdick was given permission to take up residence on a lot in West Oxford, and as Ingersoll reported, "he has Ben on to Work Ever Since and has Cleared About twenty Acres". The day previous to Ingersolls letter, James Burdick's son, Samuel, had petitioned the Executive Council to be confirmed on the lot, and in reply the council granted a lease. That place was Centreville, where, "James Burdick, Esq., erected the first mill in the township." see Oxford Gazeteer (Hamiton, 1852) by 'Thomas Shenston. When that was is unclear. Shenston suggests around 1805, but searching has uncovered evidence that the mill was already in operation by 1799. (see Upper Thames Valley Conservation. Report 1952 Summary (Toronto, 1952), pg. 20: " A grist mill in Oxford Township is referred to in September of that year (1799). It is a short distance from Ingersoll's and in 1800 it is called 'Burdick's Mill' and its position fixed on the creek running through the Clergy Lot 16, Broken Front, Oxford West in the field notes of William Hambly | BURDICK, James (I1797)

William Yardley had married Jane Heath in 1663. Elizabeth Heath's parents are named by Frank C. Baldwin as Andrew and Elizabeth (Barrett) Heath. Andrew is identified as the same man who arrived in 1682 as the bonded servant to William Yardley; possibly Yardley's nephew. Baldwin states that "they came from Staffordshire in England and settled in Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Andrew Heath moved to [Hopewell] New Jersey in 1699 when he bought 420 acres of land near present-day Trenton. About 1703 he helped established the Hopewell Church, one of the first Episcopal Churches in the area. In 1705 four of Andrew's children were baptized there: Andrew, Elizabeth, John, and Sarah." Andrew made his will on the 3rd of January 1716/7 and the instrument was proved on the 29th of December 1720 in which he names his wife Hannah and children: Martha, John, Elizabeth, Andrew, Sarah, and Richard. He also names his grandchildren: Elizabeth, Abigail, and Andrew Pettit and his wife's children: Daniel Clark, Samuel Clark, and Hannah Clark [re: Baldwin & County Court records 23:219]. On December 29, 1720, Robert Heaton proved Andrew Heath's will. Baldwin writes of the Heath family and quotes from Louise H. Tunison and Althea F. Courtot's work "The Heath Family of Hunterdon County, New Jersey; a 1977 manuscript in the collection of the Hunterdon County Historical Society. Andrew Heath married twice, first to the widow Elizabeth Barrett Venables Bannor. She had married first William Venables who is also found as a passenger on the same ship as the one Andrew Heath and the Yardleys arrived on. Venables died leaving his widow and two daughters Joyce and Frances. Elizabeth remarried to a Lawrence Bannor. She married Andrew Heath after 1688 and died by 1699 when Andrew and his step-daughter Joyce leave an instrument conveying land. Andrew married secondly the widow Hannah Clark, whose maiden name unknown.
