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.

James married Isabella PRINGLE in 1815 in Temple-Sowerby, Westmoreland, England. Isabella was born in 1793 in Kirby Thore Westmorland England; died on 26 Sept 1869 in Mcgilivray Township, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Ebenizer Cemetery , Mcgilivray TownshipMiddlesex County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Robert married Jane MITCHELL in 02Dec1846 in London middlesex ontario Canada.

[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

While James died in Kincardine, he was buried in Clandeboye. This is according to the records of the Messiah anglican church in Kincardine which say he was buried in the” Clandeboye cemetery”. Ian Westell believes this was the Lewis Cemetery presumably beside his wife Jane. In 1963 all the tombstones were buried and a monument put up with all the names of those buried there. James' name does not appear however it is speculated that there was no tombstone as there was no money for one at the time of his death. -A copy of a 1932 report of the Cemetery Board contained in a London -middlesex Branch O.G.S. publication on cemeteries in middlesex county(No. 77 in Series) mentions that the number of internments was 50 yet the index in the publication only records 37 names so it is quite possible James could be buried there.
note on baptisms
Jame's and Bridget's children Robert and Vernatta and Mary were all baptized together on September 26,1851 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Lucan ,Biddulph Twp.midlesex county by J..D. Ryan priest - see baptism records catholic archives in London St Peter's Basilica also see web link attached .

An article in the London Advertiser of Tuesdy,April 13,1875 reported that this house of James Waistell burned down. 'Fire At Ireland Village-Some days since the dwelling house,cabinet shop and turning shop of Mr. Wm Howard of the village of Ireland were destroyed by fire... At the same time the houses of MR.Jas Westle and Mrs. Hawkesworth were destroyed...." In 1904 he moves to his sons home in Kincardine. In the newspaper Exeter Avocate on May 5,1904,page 1 it says he intends to sell his house to a Mr. Wilfins,butcher .
