1809 July 4th, UCLand Book, Andrew Whitesell, Twp. of Thorold, yeoman, stating that he was a Sergent in DeLancey's Corps. of Voluntters during the American War. That he obtained from the late Land Board, District of Niagara a grant of 600 Acres for himself, a wife and 2 children. The 600 Acres were known as Lot 82, 83 & 84, Con 1 & 2nd Thorold Twp.

That Patents have been issued for those Lots only which the said Certificates contained his name appears on the Plan of the said Twp. for the remaining 100 A. A Patent has never issued therefore, Praying that a Patent may now be completed in his favor for the same.
Recommended that a patent do issue for Lot 84, C 2, Thorold, to the Petitioner.
Andrew married 3 Mr 1857 to Sarah Jane Brown.
Andrew Whitesell had a farm on the Jaffa road & he & Whitesell Sarah Jane (Brown); lived there & Ermina Mahala was born there.
Andrew died when the daughter was a baby. Sarah Jane went with her baby back home to Dunboyne, until she remarried again 4 years after & Ermina Mahala staid with her grandparents & Aunt Sally Carter.
After Grandma Jemima died in 1878 & Grandpa Walter Brown died, Mother lived on with Aunt Sally until Aunt Sally died in 1881. Afterword Mother went to Windmill Point & Bertie among Carters. When Uncle George's wife died Mina moved back to Dunboyne to help take care of George's children.
In 1851 at Malahide Township, Elgin County, at the northern division, is Andrew Whitesell, 23, single, with the family of Levi & Sarah Bradley. Whitesell family Bible record gives:
Andrew Whitesell, born Oct. 28th 1828. g.s. gives birth date of Oct. 28, 1828, but also indicates that he died on Sep. 2, 1858 at age 29 years, 10 months & 26 days which would give a birth date of about 6 October 1828.
He is listed in1851 Census, Malahide Twp., Elgin Co. Andrew Whitesell & Elsie House were wit. to marriage of John Raymond & Elizabeth Clark at Malahide, 4 Oct. 1854 & to marriage of David H. Cline & Emily Bradley of Malahide on 1 Jan. 1855.
Andrew Whitesell & Elsey House were witnesses to the marriage of David H. Cline & Emily Bradley at Malahide, 1 January 1855; License. The Browns owned most of the land between Aylmer & Port Bruce. My mother used to tell me which uncle owned which farm & I still remember. My grandmother, being a girl got nothing.
Sarah Jane married George [I think this should be Andrew-George was Andrew's brother] Whitesell who had a farm on the 4th concession, NW part of Lot 8 west of the Aylmer-Port Bruce road but when my mother was a year old he died of tuberculosis & Sarah took her baby & went home to live. A couple of years later she remarried a widower with two sons. His name was John Teller ... My mother lived on with her grandparents & Aunt Sally till they died.
