- 4. Mary Ann Wall
Born Nov. 23, 1832 at Montague Township, Lanark Co. Mary Ann married Ambrose Rose on November 22, 1854, Smith Falls, Lanark Co, Ontario. They had a family of four children. Their first born was a son, William, born in Canada in 1856. They moved to Alexandria, Jefferson County, New York. They are shown in the 1860 US Census as living there. Children born in New York were Melissa, in 1856, and sons, Alvin, born 1858 and James A., born 1859. Mary Ann must have died sometime in the 1860s. The 1870 US Kansas Census shows Ambrose married to a wife, Hannah, and a son Merton. It does not list his first family. Where did the children live after their mother died? I have found that William Rose moved to Elgin County sometime before the 1881 Ontario census. He was a farmer. He married Harriet and they had three children; Lillie (1880 – 1939), Arthur (1882 – 1898), and William J. (1893 – 1962). All are buried in Union Cemetery, Yarmouth Twp., Elgin County, Ontario. William L. Rose (July 11, 1856 - Sept 30, 1908) and Harriet E. Rose, (March 3, 1855 – Jan. 8, 1933), are also buried in Union Cemetery. There is no concrete information on Melissa born in 1856. Alvin Rose is shown in the 1881 Census living on a farm in Leeds & Grenville County, Ontario. Ontario marriage records show a marriage of Alvin Rose of New York to Caroline Phillips, on September 3rd, 1881. Both are said to be residents of Renfrew. In Renfrew, Alvin and Caroline Rose had a son, George (1891-1897) and a daughter Melissa (1900-1968). Melissa married Harold T. McIlvenna on October 4th, 1918. Alvin's wife Caroline died October 10, 1913 and he then married Anna Maley in 1917. Alvin died on May 27th, 1931. These family members are buried in Hillcrest Cemetery, Smiths Falls, Ontario. James A. Rose (1857-1922) immigrated to Canada in 1876. The 1881 Census tells us he was a shoemaker married to Phoebe Land (1857-1940) and living in Elgin County. The family of James and Phoebe consisted of seven boys: William b.1880, Walter b. 1881, Robert b. 1882, Edward b. 1885, Harry b. 1890, George b. 1894, Joseph b. 1901. James and his wife, Phoebe, are buried in Aylmer Cemetery, Section C, Malahide Twp, Elgin Co, Ont.
