14754 Lancaster Family in Canada
Written by Nora Lancaster Dennis

A group of Quakers came to Canada from Pennsylvania, U.S.A. and
settled in Oxford County at the Township of North Norwich. It was in the
early 1800 about 1803 -or 04.

Joseph Lancaster, then a young man, settled on a section of land
several hundred acres, about the middle of the Township (now the second
Concession). He married Hannah Corbin. They had two sons and one daughter.
Thomas, the eldest son, died at quite an early age. I don't know if he had
any family, as I never heard of any

STORY
Mary married John against her father's wishes. (He didn't think it was right for her to marry her sister's husband). They took a canoe down to Kingston and were married on Nov 11, 1797. While in Kingston, Mary's father showed up and Mary disguised herself as an Indian squaw and her father didn't recognize her. After he found out they were married he was reconciled. John Bleecker died of pneumonia in March of 1807. In abt 1808 Mary married John Row. John Row was born abt 1772 in Dutchess Co, NY and he died May 24, 1857 in Sidney Twp, Hastings Co, ON. Mary Meyers was born in 1774 near Poughkeepsie, NY (Bapt May 29, 1774 in Catskill, NY) and she died in 1868 in Trenton, Hastings Co, ON. Mary owned the front ferry plying the Bay of Quinte between Trenton and Belleville.

RWS Note: A triangular tract of land in Brant County, was originally known as the "Townsend Gore," but was afterwards attached to Burford Township, and then called "Burford Gore." In 1821 Burford Gore was separated from Burford Township and was named Oakland Township.
The term "Norrage Gore" could not be identified. Perhaps it is a spelling error for a part of Norwich NorthTownship in Oxford County.

14759 Land Transactions Mcgilivray Township

The following is taken from the abstract of the deeds and mortgages registered in the record book showing the properties in Mcgilivray Township Middlesex county Ontario. They were viewed at the Ontario Archives.Toronto and at the Land Registry Office ,Court House,London Ontario.

Lot 13, Concession 9 (approximately 100 acres) was bought by James Waistell Senior on June 1, 1855,and registered Jan 26,1859 from the Canada Company. James had previously leased the property. At the time of the purchase a mortgage was taken out from Timothy Buckley for $272. In July 14 1855 a Bill of Sale on title shows 50 acres, the North 1/2 being sold to Quinton McGill.In March 8, 1859, the south half was sold to John Morgan.

Both Bill of Sales were registered March 31, 1859. The mortgage discharge between James and Timothy Buckley was not registered until October 22, 1864.

Lot 14, Concession 9 was sold by the Canada Company to Isabella Morley (nee Waistell),consisting of 200 acres on Dec 7, 1867 (Registered January 9, 1868). There is a Bill of Sale on the property January 20, 1868 (Registered January 30, 1868) where Thomas & Isabella Morley sold to James Waistell Senior 100 acres. James then sold the south half (50 acres) to Pringle Waistell January 27, 1868 (Registered January 30, 1868). A mortgage was taken out April 18, 1868 from William Carter on the north 50 acres for $200. This mortgage was not discharged until July 26 1873 by Quinton McGill.

The south half appears to be tied up in the estate of Pringle Waistell. The will was registered against the property October 8, 1868.

On the north half, this is divided up according to James' will as mentioned above.

The transfer is registered November 22, 1869. Richard transfers the deed of his 25 acres (the north half of the north half of the lot) to Quinton McGill February 7 1872. This was registered April 6, 1886 and after Quinton's death March 12, 1886. Quinton's will, which may have been dated July 30, 1885, was registered against the property (not clear as what parts but would have to be the north 50 acres) with the beneficiaries being Isabella M.Morgan (nee McGill) et al. A deed dated December 5, 1887 is registered showing the transfer of ownership of James Waistell et al to Isabella M and Mary J.Morgan (sisters) being the north 50 acres. This was registered February 13, 1888. There is another deed registered on title with the deed dated February 6, 1888 and registered February 13, 1888 with Isabella and Wm. Morgan transferring to Mary Jane Morgan so that Mary Jane ends up with the 50 acres making up the north half. On January 16, 1903 Mary Jane & Joshua Morgan take out a $525 mortgage from Joseph Hodgins.

With the south half of 50 acres tied up by the Pringle's estate, there is a quick claim deed dated August 27, 1886 (registered September 20, 1886) transferring title from Sophia Hodgins( Pringle's daughter) to Robert & James Waistell.

Will of James Waistell Senior

James Waistell Senior Born July 13,1794- Died November 12, 1868.

In his will dated July 14, 1868, his wife, Isabella gets all personal and real estate and upon her death (she died I year later, September 26,1869), it was to be distributed among some of his children as follows:Robert P. Born 1815; died 1847. His wife Jane, married James junior,James son on December 2, 1858. Robert and Jane's daughter, Isabella would have been 22 at the time of her grandfather's death.

She had married Thomas Holley in Weston and received $100. James, (Junior) born August 25,1822 was 46. He received only $1.

Richard, born March 25,1825 was 43. He is named as an executor of the will.He received 25 acres being the northerly half of the North half of lot 14, Concession 9 plus 1/2 the personal property after the legacies were paid.Isabella, born May 6, 1827 was 41 at the time of her father's death.

Biography
. Lardner Bostwick was born in Toronto, Ont., June 20, 1815, & was married March 6, 1843, to Eliza Kennedy. They had 4 children, 2 of whom are now living, Mrs. F. G. O'Brien of Minneapolis, & Mrs. H. A. Nott of Chicago.

. Judge Bostwick died April 13, 1897, age 82 years, leaving a wife, the 2 daughters above mentioned, also a grandson, Edward J. O'Brien, a granddaughter, Mrs. W. O. Wolf, daughter of Mrs. Nott.

. 1843 judge Bostwick moved from Toronto to Chicago, & from thence to St. Anthony Falls in 1850.

He served his first term as justice of the peace in 1852. He was also the fourth judge of probate of Hennepin County; also court commissioner. He served as assessor of internal revenue from 1862 to 1866.

Judge Wm. Lochren, in an article some years ago, on reminiscences of the first lawyers in Hennepin county, says- "Lardner Bostwick was a man of unusual mental power, good literary attainments, & knowledge of the law, & Withal of spotless integrity & commanding dignity in court, while very genial & companionable in his intercourse with members of the bar & others. He was a most efficient magistrate, at a time when, owing to the rough manners of a pioneer community, such a man was needed to preserve order & respect for law."
