  • Notes 
    • . Ontario Marriage Registration, Wellington Co., 21 Nov 1859,
      William Smeaton, born Scotland, Residence Garafraxa Twp., Age 20 / 1839,
      Son of Catharine & Alexander Smeaton,
      married Mary Ann Paterson, Born Lynn, England, 21y /1838,
      Residence Garafraxa Twp.,
      daughter of Mary Ann & Rich Paterson.

      Verify: Date of Landing 1856 in Missouri vs. Marriage 1859 in Ontario.
      Additionally daughter Annie Smeaton Griffus did she landed in the United Stated in 1865, although perhaps she was referring to arriving from in Michigan from Missouri.
    • . 1859 Nov 21 - Ontario Marriage Registration, Wellington Co.,
      William Smeaton, born Scotland, Residence Garafraxa Twp., Wellington Co., Age 20 / 1839,
      Son of Catharine & Alexander Smeaton,
      married Sarah Paterson, Born Lynn, England, 21y / 1838,
      Residence Garafraxa Twp., daughter of Mary Ann & Richd Paterson
      Wit: Geo. Johnston, Fergus, ON.

      Note: Marriage of daughter Sarah Patterson - There is a slight confusing of who was born in Lynn. Her mother, Mary Ann Catchpole Patterson was born in Wangford By Southwold, Suffolk Co., England.
      Her father, Richard Patterson, was born in Lynn & landed in Ontario by 1834. KING'S LYNN is usually shortened to Lynn. (Daughter Sarah Patterson was, of course, born in 1844 in Ontario.)
      . Compare, Biography of husband Wm. Smeaton, says they were married Oct 1, 1858.

      . Age 19 Years.
      Loving wife of William whom she married November 21, 1859 in Canada. Devoted mother of Mary Ann. Dear daughter of Richard & Mary Ann Catchpole Patterson.
      Cause of Death: Dropsy.

      Note: Dropsy: An old term for the swelling of soft tissues due to the accumulation of excess water.
      In years gone by, a person might have been said to have dropsy. Today one would be more descriptive & specify the cause. Thus, the person might have edema due to congestive heart failure. Dropsy has been recognized as a sign of underlying disease of the heart, liver, or kidneys, or of malnutrition.
