Fred. moved to nearby Mount Albion on land in Saltfleet Township near the brow of the Niagara Escarpment. 7 miles from Hamilton, Saltfleet Twp. Nearby a saw mill was constructed, although it is not known exactly who built the mill. The earliest known owner of the mill is John Secord, who purchased it around 1812. Gradually, a small settlement began to form. It was originally named Albion Mills. The grist mill built alongside nearby Albion Falls, as well as Albion Mills' location at the head of the Red Hill Valley & along a well-travelled road were catalysts for growth in the small village. The influx of settlers to the area introduced services & establishments, including blacksmith shops, taverns & a general store. Albion Mills later gained its own stop on the horseback mail delivery route. Throughout the remainder of the 19th century, Albion Mills served as a local hub of commerce & services for the rural surrounding countryside. In 1880, the name of the village was changed to Mount Albion & the main road, up until then a muddy trail, was reconstructed with stone. Ref: Wikipedia, 2012. .

| 14455 | John Glawe suggests Caroline's parents are Carolina Wilhelmina Maria Arndt and her parents as Johann Arndt and Maria Eggert. I believe her death certificate names her father as Fred Arndt. So my guess is Johann Friedrich Arndt. I have no information about her grandparents or beyond. | ARNDT, "Fred" William Johann Friedrich 5 (P403)

| 14456 | John Good Murphy came from the Town of Wexford, Ireland, which is in the southeast corner of Ireland, below Cork. Due to the English influence in that area, they were Protestants. John first served as a Light Dragoon under Captain James Boyd in Wexford in June 1798 after the rebel attack in the town. John acquired a commission in the British Army when his Grandfather Laurence paid One Hundred Guineas (or $500.00 in Canadian Currency) for the said commission. John states that he served in Majorca,Egypt, and Malta. A book entitled "1839 List of Officers of the British Army and Royal Navy - refer to Page 430 - a John Good Murphy, as at October 23,1800, was in the 54th Regiment of Foot at the rank of Ensign. According to Irene Murphy, she relates the story that John went to France to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, and while there, he received a severe head wound, and afterward, had to wear a silver plate on top of his head. At times this affected his mind, and his father, Sir Lawrence Murphy, because of his position of authority, was rather ashamed of him, so Captain John was sent to Canada. This may be family lore!! John was educated as a lawyer in England. If it had not been for his drinking, he might have been a Judge on the Bench in Canada. The redoubtable John Good Murphy, fought a duel and he shot his opponent's thumb off, this drew blood and settled the quarrel. The Marquis, whose title was next under the Duke, owned a large tract of land given to him by the Government. John rented a certain amount of this land from the Marquis, and he would pasture his cows in one paddock until one (1) firkin was filled with butter, so that the flavour of the butter would not be changed. A firkin equalled one of our barrels. The Government gave a Coat of Arms to a Goodmurphy for excelling in growing wheat. The Crest, of beaten gold, was a Rampant Lion with a sheaf of wheat in his front paws. As to his getting married, he fell in love with one Deborah Davis and married her, she being carried to church on her wedding day, by two servants, in a sedan chair. Deborah was a Quaker by prrofession. Deborah was required to sort the clothes to go to the wash. It seemed that Deborah did not know much about building fires, which were sometimes needed in Ireland, because one time she put a coal of fire in her apron and nearly set the house on fire. John was induced by his wife Deborah to go on Half Pay. John left for Canada with his family, except for his oldest son, William, who elected to stay in Ireland with his grandparents. John and his family were on a sailing vessel for three months on the ocean, were nearly shipwrecked, but landed safely at last in Kingston, Ontario, which then, was but a small town. Library and Archives Canada has possession of a letter written on May 21, 1822, wherein John Good Murphy reports his arival with his family at Quebec City. They must have left about February 1822. From Quebec City they would have travelled on to Kingston. John made arrangements in Kingston to apprentice his son Lawrence to a man by the name of Carl, as a Shoemaker. The arrangement stipulated that Lawrence would apprentice for three (3) years, then when he was finished, he was to get a suit of clothes and some money. Having made these arrangements, John and Deborah, and the rest of the children, were to have meandered along towards the west, arriving at Smokeville (now Wellington). The inhabitants at that time were few and far between, but just the same, they had two hotels where whiskey was sold. John had Kingston as his address when he wrote a letter to the Lieutenant Governor on September 2nd 1822, advising him that he had not received his promised grant of land. It is believed that John and his family moved from Kingston to Wellington sometime after Sept 1822, with John possibly retaining a temporary residence in Kingston. Marriage records show that sons John C. and Richard were residents of Wellington, when they were married in 1832. John's name is on the 1829 Petition to make the Prince Edward a separate District. In July 1833, John was in Wellington, placing ads in the Hallowell Free Press, with regards to Village lots for sale. He placed a followup ad in January 1834. It is presumed that he was acting on behalf of the Crown vis a viz the sale of these lots. The 1833 ad on July 30, 1833, used the name of John G. Murphy, Senior, H.P. 54th Regiment, Colbourne Street, Wellington, Ontario. The ad on January 1, 1834 was placed by John Good Murphy, H.P. 54th Reg't, Cooleys Hotel on Colborne St in Wellington. Note the change in surnames !!! John placed an ad in the Patriot and Farners Monitor (York Edition - see August 16th 1833 Issue) indicating that he was planning to proceed to Toronto (York) to locate his granted land. The ad ran until the November 22nd edition. The ad states that the family has been in Upper Canada for 11 years (that gives an arrival year of 1822). John presumably took up his grant of land in 1833 or later. Three (3) lots in Collingwood Township, in Grey County. Apparently Collingwood Twp was not surveyed until 1835, and it is felt that these properties were taken for investment purposes. The properties were granted to John's oldest son William Davis, upon his death. William then sold off these properties. There is no evidence to support that the family moved away from Prince Edward County. To the contrary, Lawrence, John, Richard, and Davis all stayed in the County. Thomas moved to Northumberland County. There is so far, no more record of John and his whereabouts, but he obviously died between 1844 and 1848, as Deborah is widowed in 1848. In 1842, Deborah is found to be living in Percy Twp, near Warkworth, with her are two single males, deemed to be Gilbert and Francis, her two youngest children, who were born in 1823 and 1825, respectively. The prior child, Margurete (Peggy) was married in September 1839. Deborah was liviing at Lot 20 - South Half - Conc. 5, which she acquired from the Forsyth brothers on October 21, 1844. It is not known when John and Deborah moved the family to Percy Twp, but it may have been after Margurete was married in September 1839. Deborah sold her property to her son Gilbert on March 18, 1848 and by that time she was a Widow, but the exact month/year of John's death is unknown at this time. It is presumed that Deborah passed away between 1848 and 1850 as she is not listed on the 1850 Census for Percy Twp. Francis relocated to Ameliasburg Twp, P.E. County in 1860 and Gilbert relocated to Hillier Twp in later 1863 or early 1864. | MURPHY, JOHN GOOD (I29)

| 14485 | John is the son of Dorcas Ecclestone (1536 Exeter, Devonshire, England - 1599 Sep 1, London, England) & Sir Richard Martin (1533 Puddletown, Dorset, England - 1616 Jul 22 London, England). Capt. John Martin (c.1560-1632) was a Councilman of the Jamestown Colony in 1607. He was the proprietor of Martin's Brandon Plantation on the south bank of the James River. Captain John Martin died in 1632 at Martin's Brandon Plantation, which he had established on a 1616 land grant on the south bank of the James River, Virginia, leaving his plantation to a grandson, Captain Robert Bargrave. Located in modern-day Prince George County, Virginia & known as Lower Brandon Plantation, in the 21st century, his c. 1616 plantation is both a National Historic Landmark open to tours & one of America's oldest continuous farming operations. Capt. John Martin was the 3rd son of goldsmith & Sir Richard Martin (d. 1617) & Dorcas Eccleston (d. 1599). Sir Richard later held office as Master of the Mint & Lord Mayor of London. Based on his family's business as goldsmiths & their long involvement in the Company of Mineral & Battery Works, the Virginia Company appointed Capt. John Martin as Master of Battery Works for the new colony to be established in the Chesapeake. As Master of the Battery Works, he oversaw the prospecting & assaying of mineral ores discovered by the colonists. His son John Martin (d. 1608) & kinsman George Martin accompanied him to Jamestown. Martin arrived in Virginia along with his teenage son John on 26 April 1607, when what came to be called the "First Landing" occurred at the place where south edge of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay meets then Atlantic Ocean, a location the colonists named Cape Henry. He was named to the Council to oversee the new colony by the Virginia Company in an order that was held in a sealed box which was only to be opened in Virginia. After finding a location to build their settlement which met the requirements set forth in their sealed orders, they founded Jamestown on 14 May 1607. Captain John Martin's relationship to Sir Richard Martin is attested by the WILL of his brother Richard Martin, goldsmith of London, dated 5 June 1616. Martin commanded the Benjamin under Sir Francis Drake in the 1585-86 expedition to harass the Spanish ports in the New World. On his return, Martin married Mary, daughter of Robert Brandon, a prominent English goldsmith & supplier to Queen Elizabeth I of England. Before Martin left for the West Indies, he petitioned the Company of Mineral & Battery Works to be admitted to the society with a half-share from goldsmith Richard Wycliffe, recently deceased. At the court held on 16 December 1585, the company approved the transfer of stock to Martin & admitted him to their fellowship. His father, Sir Richard, was a founding member of the company. Brothers Richard & Nathaniel had shares in the company by 1596. Martin may have accompanied Bartholomew Gosnold in his 1602 exploration of the New England coast, & it has been theorized that the island of Martha's Vineyard - spelled MARTIN'S VINEYARD in most 17th-century references - was named after Capt. Martin. Martin's Brandon Plantation Lower Brandon Plantation, or simply Brandon or Brandon Plantation, initially known as Martin's Brandon) Brandon Plantation was part of a 1616 land grant of approximately 7,000 acres (28 km2) on the south bank of the James River to Capt. John Martin.Capt. Martin was one of the original colonists & a member of the first Council in the spring of 1607, when Jamestown was first established. During the Indian Massacre which occurred on Good Friday, March 22, 1622, there were 7 deaths recorded at Martin's Brandon, including one woman & 2 boys. 347 deaths were recorded during the coordinated attacks along both shores of the James River.

Down, Ireland. . 1792 - Sloanstown Land, Leased to John MCutcheon. . 1815 - Sloanstown Townland, leased to John McCutcheon, value of Freehold 40 shillings. Ref: Public Records Office of Northern Ireland ( PRONI ). . 1844 May 21 - Isabella Morrison stated in her deposition "…Samuel McCutcheon was married to Charlotte Letitia, the only daughter of this deponent & the said Henry Morrison & this deponent further saith that about the year of our lord 1824 the said deponent accompanied the said Samuel McCutcheon & his family from Ireland…." The year, however, was 1823. The following newspaper articles found, place McCutcheons on the de Salaberry in 1823: . 1823 Jun 13 - QUEBEC, JUNE 13 - LOSS OF THE DE SALABERRY STEAM BOAT BY FIRE {Abbreviated for to reduce repetition.] It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the loss of this boat. She left our port about 2 o'clock yesterday morning for the River Chambly & Montreal & had on board no less than 240 passengers, chiefly emigrants of the poorer classes. She had hardly passed Cape Rouge, about 4 o'clock, when she was discovered to be on fire. A quantity of fuel had been piled on the right side of the boilers under which it is supposed some particle of fire must have accidentally fallen. Mr. Kuper was astonished to find that the flames had penetrated the gratings over the engine room, where 5 puncheons of spirits had been stowed, one of which instantly caught fire, burst, & spread over the deck, The horror & confusion of the scene at this moment may be imagined but can hardly be described. The crowd of passengers huddled together in so small a craft, effectually baffled the spirited exertions Mr. K. directed the boat to be run a-shore before the water shoaled to the depth of a man's height, she struck upon a rock; but the De Salaberry fortunately had 2 large American Boats, belonging to some rafts men who were returning home, attached to her, these with his own boat would have been fully adequate to save every individual & much of the property. Several passengers at this moment in a state of uncontrollable alarm, precipitated themselves into the water; though every exertion was made to save them, 5 or 6 unhappily perished. It will hardly be credited that in this imminent peril, characters were found so inhumanly depraved as to avail themselves of common distress to plunder their fellow sufferers. It has however been reported to us, & we fear upon too good authority, that this was the case; that some of the first who landed detained the boats, regardless of the lives of those who remained on board, & commenced a most brutal scene of depredation & drinking. At a late hour of the day many were yet in a brutal state of intoxication, uttering the most ferocious execrations & threats against the proprietors of the vessel. … Kuper expresses the utmost gratitude to the Proprietors of the Steam Boat Telegraph, for their alacrity in sending that boat to his assistance; several gentlemen of Quebec also rendered him their services. The Boat drifted as the tide rose, & was last seen off St. Augustin, nearly burned to the water's edge. Ref: Quebec Mercury. . 1823 Jun 14, Sat . - STEAM-BOAT DE SALABERRY LOST! We learn with much regret, from Captain Ryan of the Steamboat La-Prairie, arrived last night from Quebec, that the De Salaberry was discovered to be on fire last Thursday morning at 6 o'clock off Cap Rouge, & the flames having made so much progress as to be inextinguishable, she was run on the chain of rocks at that place. As soon as the accident was perceived by the La Prairie, then about 3 miles ahead, she ran down to her assistance, & in concert with 2 boats dispatched from the shore on the same humane errand, took off such passengers as had remained on the wreck, some of whom had taken refuge in the chains & rigging, & whose distress may be more easily imagined than described. Many, indeed, of the more adventurous had jumped overboard before Captain Ryan reached her, but he is of opinion that few, if any, lives were lost. She then drifted with the flood tide into the middle of the river, &, when last seen, was burnt to the water's edge. Both boats had left Quebec [City] about 2 o'clock the same morning; the De Salaberry with about 150 persons (principally emigrants,) & a valuable cargo, all of which was lost; & the La Prairie with 120, mostly of the same description. We understand that Mr. Kuper, who commanded the former, used every effort to save the lives & property of those on board. Ref: Montreal Gazette, Quebec. UCLPetition 5, M Batch 14, V2204, 1824.

| 14498 | John is the son of Jane Ramsay (1701 Hexham, Northumberland, England - c1776 & Hugh Willson, (1700 Carrickfergus, Ireland - 1750 North Carolina?) Jane & Hugh Willson married in North Carolina. * NOTE: This first, John Willson, husband of Catharine Kuhn is unrelated to the John Willson, Esq., 2nd husband of Catherine B Kuhn. - PJA * John Willson, b. 1745, d. before 1791 Feb 12 Clinton. Note: date wife was appointed administratrix. - PJA] . He fled Ireland ahead of the authorities as he was outspoken against injustices & rigged trials, leaving his pregnant wife in his parents' care. The newspapers carried account of their flight. . Hugh L. Willson was born in County Down while the family had been living in Carrickfergus County Antrim leads me to think that John's [first] wife was living on her brother-in-law's farm at the time of Hugh L Willson's birth. He met & married Catherine in New York & they had a rented farm 12 miles east of Poughkeepsie near the Connecticut border. John had little sympathy for the rebels & that before & after the actual declaration of war, he had been arrested several times, bound over to keep the peace, fined & even served a term of imprisonment for defending sometimes with his fists, his right to reject the excesses of the most militant of the colonists. . Clinton, Dutchess Co., NY Clinton was first settled around 1755. The town was part of the Great Nine Partners Patent of 1697. The town was established in 1786 from territory from the Towns of "Charlotte" & Rhinebeck. Prior to the War of the Revolution Presbyterians at Poughkeepsie held services with more or less regularity. They shared the ministrations of a pastor now with the Rombout Church at Brinckerhoff & now with the Pleasant Valley Church. During the war the congregation at Poughkeepsie lapsed out of existence. In 1817 the congregation was revived & in 1826 it was formally organized. This lot of land was given to the church in 1821 for burial purposes. Since 1911 the lot has been sold by the church & a garage built upon it but legal difficulties have been encountered, in connection with passing the title, affording a specific instance of the fact that ground originally set aside for burial purposes can rarely be transferred with clear title. Ref: Old Gravestones of Dutchess Co. NY, JW Poucher, 1924. . The GREAT Nine Partners: Located in the present Poughkeepsie Precinct (i.e. similar to a county). Dutchess then comprised the following towns: Amenia, Beekman, Clinton (formed March 13, 1786, from portions of Charlotte & Rhinebeck Precincts), Fishkill, North East, Pawling, Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck & Washington.A Presbyterian church was organized in Poughkeepsie as early as 1749, but failed to maintain itself or erect a building. - - - | WILLSON, John (I524)
