The Aylmer Cemetery book says, "White marble on cement base, clasped hands, floral motif: "meet Me": A.D. BURDICK/ 1819 - 1879/ Hannah L./ His Wife/ 1821 - 1912/ - / Oh sacred grave what precious dust/ Is here committed to thy trust/ But oh! the soul has fled on high/ To bloom forever in the sky/ Psalms 23: IV/". He appears on the Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario as aged 52, born in Ont., living in Elgin East District, Malahide sub-district. An abstract of his probate record can be found online at http://www.library.elgin-county.on.ca/history/estate.html . It is in the Surrogate Court records for Elgin County.

| 4824 | About 1888, Henry's family moved to Bolton near George Fern and his family. Henry's wife, Ellen (Downes) Fern, died in 1902 and his children had all moved to Canada and the USA by the early 1920s. His nephew, Alfed Fern, looked after his funeral when he died in 1933. He is buried in All Souls churchyard with his wife. | FERN, Henry (I313)

| 4825 | About MELMER, Frances (Per Carol Cooper) Present in the family home at Fairview Street, St Mary`s Cheltenham, in 1841 with parents and siblings. Frances was aged 10 years. In 1851 Frances Melmer was enumerated as a seamstress aged 21, born Leicester, at 33 St Paul`s Street North, Cheltenham, with parents and siblings. Frances does not appear in the 1861 census anywhere in the UK. I have searched the BMD indexes for deaths and marriages between 1851 and 1861 to no avail. It is likely therefore that Frances emigrated, like many of her siblings. However, at the time of her mother`s death in 1883, the certificate of death indicated that Frances was one of Matilda`s deceased children at that time. | MELMER, Frances (I5103)
|
| 4826 | About MELMER, George George Melmer was born in Jersey according to 1851 census, entry registered St Helier 1802 to parents George & Fanny, nee Bott. According to the entry in the 1841 census George was aged 35 with his wife and 5 of his children. It should be noted that his wife Matilda was enumerated in the name of Martha (enumerator`s error?). I have no evidence of George being married to a Martha! The family were resident at Fairview Street, St Mary`s Cheltenham, and George was described as a confectioner. His eldest son, George, was aged 15 an apprentice, the other children were scholars which included Frances 10, Martha 8, William 6 & Henry 4. Daughter Matilda was elsewhere on the night of the 1841 census as was daughter Elizabeth (born circa 1828). This family were present at 33 St Paul`s Street North, Cheltenham, in 1851, where George and Matilda were resident with their family. George was enumerated as a 48 year old pastry cook, wife Matilda was aged 50. Daughter Elizabeth Melmer was present in 1851 along with other siblings and Matilda Cooley, mother in law, aged 76, widowed annuitant born Bridgenorth, Shropshire. Death certificate on file. He died an early death in 1854 aged 52 in Cheltenham of Dropsey, General Anasarca & Debility. His death was registered by son William, in attendance at 35 St Pauls St North. I do not know where George Melmer is buried. I checked the registers at Bouncers Lane cemetery in Cheltenham, but burials did not begin there until 1864. Cheltenham Cemetery opened with its first burial in 1864, charmingly recorded in the Register of Burials as "The First Commencement" taking place on the 19 November of that year.

The 1851 census for St Paul's St. North, Cheltenham, shows the Melmer family excluding son George (enumerated as Melmore), who was residing in lodgings at 8 Hanover Street, just around the corner [I know both streets well], with wife Ann and children Emma 8, Mary Ann 6, Elizabeth 3 & George 1 month old. I have now purchased both birth certificates for first and last children, namely Emma in 1843 at 25 Brunswick Street and George in 1851 at 8 Hanover Street, which clearly shows they were born to George Melmer and Ann Hughes - see attached. However, I have not managed to find any marriage between George and Ann Hughes in the indexes for either England or Wales, so presume they did not actually manage to tie the knot, which is a shame as a marriage certificate would confirm who his father was. What makes me so convinced that this George Melmer, with Ann, was most definitely the son of George and Matilda is that apart from being the only other Melmer family in Cheltenham at that time and living just round the corner from his parents, his birth occurred (according to the 1851 census) in Southampton, which was precisely the same place as his parents' marriage took place the same year, see the death certificate of Matilda Melmer, which I sent you a copy of in a previous email some while ago. What I can also be certain of is that the reason we cannot find George 1824 in the 1881 census for Canada is because he was almost certainly dead by this time. In his mother Matilda Melmer's death certificate in 1883 at Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, it stated she was the mother of only 3 living children at the time of her death, namely Martha, William and Henry - those deceased were 1 male (can only be George 1824) and 3 females. So, I speculate that George, Ann and four children left the UK shortly after 1851 for foreign shores, possibly America or even Australia and after the death of first wife Ann Hughes, George moved on to Canada to be with other members of his family, leaving behind his children some of whom would by this time have grown up and probably married and settled. He subsequently married second wife Mary Wallace circa 1856 and the two daughters quickly followed that marriage. From the age of Matilda Eaton (24) in 1881, she must have been the elder of the two daughters. What I also noticed from the 1881 census entry for the Eaton family in Montreal, was that Robert Eaton, the Pedler, was considerably older than Matilda, indeed he must have been a widower at marriage, as the eldest child in the household was William aged 14. He could not possibly have been Matilda's son, only Robert 4 and Matilda 1 could have been her children, suggesting that Matilda Melmer married Robert Eaton circa 1876, upon reaching the age of 21 years. It is quite conceivable therefore that by 1901 Canadian census, Robert Eaton may have died and his young wife Matilda, may just have remarried and taken another surname by this time. If their daughter Matilda had also married before 1901, she too would be almost impossible to locate in the 1901 census, without evidence of such a marriage. Robert Eaton Jnr would almost certainly have been of an age to fight in a War at the turn of the century, also making his appearance in any census of 1901 very difficult to find - all this is only speculation but could account for their "disappearance" from any census after 1881. | MELMER, GeorgeSr (I171)

I have exhibited & charges against Repalje, one of which for asserting & persisting in it that I said no American could be a loyal subject. Another for attempting to allot his Company after had been informed that he was no longer to command it indirect & open defiance of his Commanding Officer. Another for propagating a story that I had been the cause of turning him & Anderson out of the Militia. You known how foul a lie that is & another for telling me a downright falsehood. Signed, Robt. Nichol. (undated, but pertains to the War of 1812). . Extracts were enclosed in Colonel Nicholas letter to Colonel Talbot. I am using my utmost exertions & discretion to carry not full effect the intentions of Major General Brock to check habits of insubordination too prevalent in this part of the Province. Exhibit changes to Major Gen. Brock to induce him to order a Court of Inquiry to investigate the conduct of Lt. Col (Joseph) Ryerson, Captain Rapalje & myself. Signed, Col. Nichols, R.N. . Extract to Capture Glegg. I wish the General Talbot to understand the motives which have induced me to prefer these changes, of reports circulated by Rapelje & Ryerson are uncontradicted they will be believed & consequently will render it impossible for me to be of service as head of 2nd Regiment of Norfolk Militia. It is now in the Country the Militia has been little better than a legal Mob, Officers without respectability with intelligence & without Authority, & the men without any idea of subordination. You know well in a Militia compose as ours is of independent Yeoman it would be both impolitic & useless to attempt strict discipline of the line. Just & firm conduct with a conciliatory disposition by the Commanding office - the Regiment is composed al to entirely of Native Americans. . Transcripts by PJ Ahlberg.

A year or two later, however, he disposed of it; and it passed into the hands, first, of R. Traverse; then J. O'Dell, and finally John O'Neil, under whose management it was for a long time the principal tavern in London.

His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President United States, Honor'd & respected Sir, some weeks since, I took the liberty to address a letter to you in behalf of my Nephew Mr. Delaney M. Neill, a youth of high minded noble quality, who wished a Lieutenancy in the regular Army, & I am proud to say will be a credit to the Profession. He is now recruiting in this native State of New York, as first Lieutenant of his Regiment & who I should esteem it a personal favor if he receives the Appointment thr'o my influence, having never before asked a favor from the Government but as the widow of the late Captain James Lawrence who fell in the War of 1812 with the England while defending the Flag of his Country, {abroad] the ill fated Frigate Chesapeake, I feel entitled to some consideration, & to hope that you will hereby grant my request. Most respectfully yours, Julia M. Lawrence. - The writer of this I understand to be the widow of Commodore Lawrence, whose dying words, "Dont give up the ship" are so well known. She should be obliged, if possible. Signed, A. Lincoln, Jan. 16. 1862. - It appears that Mrs. Lawrence's nephew did not receive the requested appointment. - Daniel Worthington Notes: accompanying this letter. 1. Mrs. Lawrence's other letter has not been found. 2. The precise identify of Mrs. Lawrence's nephew remains a mystery. She named her only daughter Mary Neill Lawrence. The nephew in question might be Delancey Neill, who the Census 1870 was living in the household of a Joseph A Neill, also a Edward Montaudevert Neil who served during the was as an assist adjutant general with Ambrose Burnside IV Cprs.

| 4843 | ABRAHAM PEIRSEY of JAMESTOWNE, VIRGINIA < Abraham PEIRSEY/PIERSEY arrived at Jamestowne aboard the ship "Susan", the first Magazine Ship sent to the Colony in 1616 from England. His wife, Elizabeth DRAPER and their two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, arrived on the "Southampton" in 1616. He returned to England on the "Susan" and returned to Jamestowne aboard the "George", the second magazine ship. Abraham Peirsey was a Virginia Company stockholder. He made a trading visit to Newfoundland in 1619 on the "George" to exchange tobacco for fish. Governor Sir George Yeardley sold his plantation known as Flowerdieu Hundred, which was on the south side of the James River just upstream from James City, to Abraham Peirsey in 1624. Peirsey was a merchant-planter who, after Yeardley, ranked as the second wealthiest man in Virginia. A census of the colony taken in 1625 provides some rare details about Flowerdew Hundred at that time. A total of 57 people lived on the plantation, including 29 servants and 7 Negroes’ belonging to Peirsey. In August 1619 the first African slaves are brought to Virginia by Captain Jope in a Dutch ship. Governor Yeardley and a merchant, Abraham PEIRSEY, exchange twenty of them for supplies. These Africans become indentured servants like the white indentured servants who traded passage for servitude. They were found to be quite profitable in the cultivation of tobacco which was the staple crop at that time. The other residents included six married men, their families and servants, three single men, and a minister. There were twelve dwelling houses on the plantation as well as three storehouses, four tobacco houses, and the first windmill erected in the country. Ample supplies of food were on hand in the form of cattle, hogs, corn, peas, and quantities of fish. A continued concern over defense was reflected in the cannon, armour, gunpowder, and swords listed. Floweredieu Hundred became a palisaded settlement which may account for there being only six deaths during the Indian uprising in 1622. In 1624, Peirsey owned Windmill Point at Peirseys Hundred which included twelve dwellings, three storehouses, four tobacco houses and the first windmill constructed in America. (Recontruction completed in 1978 to commemorate the original mill erected in 1621 by the original owner, Sir George Yeardley.) Abraham Peirsey was appointed to the Commission on 24 Oct 1623 along with John Pory, John Harvey, John Jefferson and Samuel Mathews to "look into the state of Virginia." He was appointed to the Council 1624 and was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1625. The plantation went to his second wife, Frances Greville, upon his death in 1627/1628. She later married Samuel Mathews and died in 1633. At her death the property was awarded to his daughter Mary Peirsey HILL. In the five years that passed after Abraham's death the estate was altered to where Mary was destitute. As one of Mary's first act upon acquiring Peirsey Hundred she renamed it to the original Flowerdieu Hundred. Today, the plantation is held by the Flowerdew Hundred Foundation. | PEIRSEY, Abraham (I13111)

| 4848 | Abrams is the son of Statira Edith Montgomery & Stillwell Willson the Younger. . Montgomery's Tavern Battle just north of Eglinton on Yonge Street: . Dr. John W Montgomery, son of John & Mary Montgomery, was born at Newtonbrook, Ontario in 1827. Hence he was only 10 years of age when the Rebellion broke out, at which time he & his cousin, Abraham Wilson, were the only persons in the old hotel, the Sickle & Sheaf, owned by his Brother when the first cannon shot came through his home, cutting down the three chimneys. The two lads stood viewing the scene from the upper windows; they thought it mere sport until a second shot entered the wing, when they were removed by some of their friends. Ref: History of Toronto & County of York, Vol II, 1885. During the 1837 Rebellion, the Yonge Street rebel had occupied John Montgomery's Tavern. Of the 300 men, a 150 men were posted in the woods behind the tavern & another 60 took up positions behind a line of rail fencing. One hundred & 50 were posted in the woods behind the tavern & another 60 took up positions behind a line of rail fencing.The majority of Mackenzie's supporters, numbering about 300, were gathered around the tavern proper. These primarily farmer-supporters of the Globe newspaper man, William Lyon Mackenzie, were gathered around the tavern proper. On December 7th, 1837, Col. James Fitzgibbon & a 1,000 British regular soldiers & militiamen marched up Yonge Street & fired artillery at Tavern. During this 1837 Rebellion, Abraham Willson, 11 years old, & his cousin John Wilson Montgomery were playing on the third floor when his uncle John Montgomery's tavern was set on fire by the rebels. The two boys playing upstairs were spotted & barely escaped the fire. The largely unarmed rebels had no choice but to retreat. The grand Government Forces then looted the tavern & burned Montgomery's Tavern to the ground, before marching back to York. An Historical Plaque marking the location of Montgomery's Tavern may be found on Yonge Street, north of Eglinton Avenue at the former two-story cement Art Deco, Canada Postal Station K.
