606	Mary Jane was 13 when she arrived in Bruce and four years later married George Elphick. George had been invited to come to Pinkerton from York County, to operate the new flour mill which Mary Jane's father had just completed. In 1867 George purchased the mill at nearby Yokassippi, now Cargill. He sold this mill in 1872 and about the same time, bought the Pinkerton mill which he operated for the rest of his life. George and Mary Jane made their home on a farm just west of the village, at Lot 3, Con. 12 of Greenock. They had a family of 10 children, 8 girls and 2 boys. There are many descendants of this family in the vicinity of Pinkerton and the farm remains in Elphick hands after four generations.

Eventually they moved to Montague Township and much later Moses and Anne moved on to Bentinck Township, Grey County, Ontario where Moses is buried. We believe that James Wall is buried in Lanark County. (per Patrick Burns Sep 2008) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following details are research provided by Randy Wall as published on "Find A Grave' https://www.findagrave.com/user/profile/47039958 Moses Wall, born 1796 in Roscrea, CO Tipperary, Ireland, and Anne Merritt, his wife born 1806 in England, came to Grey County, Ontario, Canada with their children. Their nine children were all born in and around Lanark County, Ontario, where they first settled; Beckwith and Montague Townships. The family in 1850, settled east of the town Hanover on Concession 1, Southern Distributor Road (SDR), Bentinck Township, Grey County, Ontario and there they took out four 50 acre lots. According to the 1851 Agriculture Census, Moses Wall and son's John and James and also son-in-law Edward Wynn (married to Jane Wall), each applied for Crown land grants but James Wall, in the 1851 census, is shown living in Sydenham Township along with his sister Mary Ann (Rose). Sydenham Township is about 40 miles north of Bentinck Township. He never completed the application for the land grant in Bentinck. Moses Wall and Anne Merritt marriage record: Franktown Anglican, Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Marriage Register-Married on Monday February 17th, 1823 Moses Wall and Ann Marriott. Witnesses: John Marriott and Charles Stuart (Charles Stuart/Stewart was Jane Merritt's husband). The nine children of Moses Wall and Anne Merritt: 1. Jane Wall (Wynn): Feb 1st, 1825 - ? died about 1855 2. John Wall: Dec 9th, 1825 - ? died after 1891 3. James Wall: May 4th, 1829 - Jan 8th, 1909 4. Mary Ann Wall (Rose): Nov. 23rd, 1832 - ? after 1860 5. Maria Wall (Bottrell): ?1832/33 - April 24th, 1900 6. Henry Wall: Feb. 1st, 1836 - May 13th, 1910 7. Elizabeth Wall (Hillis): March 5th, 1839 - April 18th, 1915 8. Margaret Wall (Scott): Oct. 29th, 1845 - Nov. 5th, 1872 9. William Wall: July 13th, 1846 - Jan 25th, 1934 1. Jane Wall Born Feb 1, 1825 in Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario. Married at St. James Church, Franktown, Beckwith Township on May 21st, 1849 to Edward Wynn, Jr. When Jane and Edward Jr. came to Grey County they took out a 50 acre lot beside Moses. They had a daughter Ann Jane (b. 1851) and a son Edward III (b. 1854). There is no trace of Ann Jane after 1861 so we do not know what happened to her. Edward Wynn Jr. married Lydia Ennis in 1900 and died in 1932. There is no trace of Jane (Wall) Wynn after her son was born in 1854. She is not showing in the 1861 Census so she must have died between 1854 and 1861. 2. John Wall Born Dec. 9th, 1825 in Beckwith Twp. John took out a lot on Con. 1 SDR when he came with his family to Grey County in the late 1840s. He never married that we know of. He probably farmed beside his parents and helped clear the land. John is living in Bentinck in 1871 with his mother and Edward Wynn Jr. In 1881 they are still living in Bentinck. In 1891 John and his mother, Anne, are living in Hanover. According to Anglican Church records, Anne died July 1st, 1892 in Hanover. John probably stayed living at that location. We have found no record of John's death. Tracing John and Jane is very difficult because the Hanover Post burned in 1900 burning all the old newspapers. A caretaker at St. George's cemetery, where Moses Wall is buried, burned all the records of internments. He also took off with the bank account "according to a local historian". So we presume that Jane and Edward Wynn, Ann Jane Wynn, and John Wall and his mother, Ann Wall, are buried in a family plot at St. George's cemetery. The marker only tells us about Moses Wall who died on January 17th, 1864. These deaths were never registered. The only other record we have found of John is where he voted for a public school trustee in 1881. In local church records we did find Anne (Merritt) Wall's death recorded. 3. James Wall Born May 4, 1829 in Beckwith Twp and died January 8, 1909. James came to Grey County with his parents and siblings and took out Lot 22 on Con. 1 SDR. Shortly after that he moved to Sydenham Twp. The 1851 Census shows him living there with his sister Mary Ann. He is listed as being a blacksmith. He married Caroline (Lana) Frank in that location and their descendants were two daughters, Mary Ann Wall (b.1853-d. January 28, 1928), who, in 1872, married Alfonzo Berdan (b.1853-d.1921) and Catherine Matilda Wall (b.1856-d. October 12, 1928) who, in 1873, married John Henry Chute (b. about 1852). The weddings of both Mary Ann and her sister Catherine Matilda were in Elgin Co. Caroline Frank Wall apparently died while the girls were very young. James then moved from Grey County to Elgin County. It would be quite a journey with two small children in the 1850s. Elgin County marriage records show that on Apr. 25, 1859 James Wall married Delilah Ferguson King (b. Abt. 1841–d. December 22, 1916). Delilah was the widow of Joseph King and had a daughter, Elizabeth King (b.1855-d.1892), who, in 1873, in Elgin County, married William Chute (b. 1854-d.1929). Descendants of James and Delilah were Lannie Wall (b.1864–d.1875), Susan Wall (b.1865-d.1952) married in 1883 to Ruben A. Powers (b.1859-d.1922), Joseph Danford Wall (b. 1866-d. March 16, 1882) who died after falling from a tree, Margaret Jane Wall (b.1868-d.1868), John David Wall (b. 1869-d.1936) married in 1885 to Cynthia Ann Perry (b.1864-d.1948), and Dilley M. Wall (b. 1875-d.1940) married in 1891 to Charles A. Roloson (b.1868-d.1941). James Wall is shown in the 1871 -1881, 1891, and 1901 censuses as living in Elgin County. James passed away Jan. 8, 1909 and is buried in the Luton Cemetery near Aylmer, and Delilah passed away Dec. 22, 1916 and is buried with James at Luton Cemetery. It is interesting to note that Elizabeth King (Delilah's daughter from her first marriage) and Catharine Wall (James' daughter from his first marriage), step-sisters, were both married on Dec. 10, 1873, to two brothers, William and John Chute. 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. 5. Maria Wall-This is Patrick Burns line. Born about 1834 in Brockville, Leeds County, Ontario and died April 24th, 1900 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan where she moved after her husband's death. Maria came to Grey County, Ontario with her parents and siblings from Lanark Co, in the late 1840s. She married James Bottrell about 1851. James was born in Cornwall, England, 1827 and his family came to Canada before the 1851 Grey County census. In Bentinck Township, Grey County, James Bottrell's parent's home was across Durham Road from the farm of Moses Wall whose daughter was Maria Wall. In the 1851 Agricultural Census of Ontario, we find Maria and James married and living on the land next to the farm of James' parents, William Bottrell (b. 1798) and his wife, Mary Bottrell (b. 1796). William and Mary Bottrell were born in Cornwall, England. William Bottrell's gravestone states a "native of Cronwall" and date of death is April 30th, 1858, age 60 years. He is buried at the St. George Cemetery, Hanover, Grey Co, Ontario, Canada. Most likely his wife Mary is there too. Found Mary's death registration; Mary Bottrell died on Oct. 4th, 1880, age 92, Widow. Born Cornwall, England, 1788. Informant: Robt Campbell (her son in law). She died at her daughter's home, Charity (Bottrell) Campbell, at the District of Muskoka, Muskoka Co, Ontario. The Bottrell family is shown living in Warbstow parish at Launceston, of Cornwall County, England in the 1841 census; William Botteral, his wife Mary, and their children: -James (1827) -Robert (1833) -Charity (1836) She married Robert Campbell. From a gravestone at St. George Cemetery: William, son of Robt & Charity Campbell, died May 16th, 1855 age 2 yrs. Charity died on June 18th, 1896, age 63 at the District of Muskoka. On her death registration is listed born in Cornwall, England and Robert died on Feb, 26th, 1923, age 93, born 1830 Ireland. -Philip (1837) "Native of Cornwall" died Sept. 29th, 1879, aged 43 years, his wife Mary Ann, died June 7th 1904, aged 78 years from their gravestone inscription at St. George Cemetery. -Samuel (1839) Married Mary Camble on Oct. 3rd, 1860, Normanby Twp, Grey Co. Found two more children in the William and Mary Bottrell family; -William born 1823, England. (He's living with the family in the 1851 Bentinck Twp, Grey Co, Ontario census). -John, born 1816, England. John married a Betsy (1818) about 1841 in England. They came over from England about 1844. They are farming next door to William and Mary in the 1851 Bentinck Twp Census. On the 1871 Census tell us that Maria and James Bottrell were in Grey County, Ontario and that James was a butcher. James and Maria had ten children: John born Sept. 1853 (died Feb 16th, 1855 from gravestone from the St. George Cemetery at Hanover, with inscription listing his parents, James and Maria Battrell, age 2 years, 5 months), Ann, William Henry, Jane, James Albert, Samuel Amos, Margaret Matilda, Mary Jane, Catherine, and John. -Ann Bottrell (b. 1855) married Henry W. Young (b. abt. 1848) in Hanover, Ontario on March 5th, 1873. John Bottrell (d. February 16th, 1855) buried in the St. George Cemetery in Bentinck Township, Ontario. -William Henry Bottrell, (b. November 24th, 1855-d. September 29th, 1909), married Mary Ann (b. October 30th, 1865). William died in London, Ontario. -James Albert Bottrell (b. about 1860) married Catherine Brocher on Oct. 24th, 1883. -Samuel Amos Bottrell, (b. January 5th, 1863- d. August 26th, 1922) married Margaret Sarah Donnelly (b. March 2nd, 1873) in Hanover, Ontario on November 18th, 1889. Margaret was the daughter of John Donnelly and Alice Russell of Bentinck Township. Samuel and Margaret had three daughters, Edna Mary (b. 1891), Gertrude Maria (b. April 7th, 1893 in Walkerton, Ontario), and Pearl (b. April 23rd, 1897 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan – d. September 21st, 1937 in Detroit, Michigan). Edna married John Madden, Gertrude married James Hurst and, in London, Ontario, Pearl married Daniel Burns (b. June 15th, 1896 in Ontario – d. December 18th, 1970 in Detroit, Michigan) in a Roman Catholic wedding at St. Peter's Cathedral in the heart of London. Pearl and Dan Burns had fifteen children by the time Pearl died at age 40. Her parents, Samuel and Margaret Bottrell, may have briefly lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan at the time of Pearl's birth. Samuel is shown as a landowner there around that time. Later, Samuel and his family settled in London, Ontario where Samuel was a streetcar conductor. -Margaret Matilda Bottrell (b. January 9th, 1867 – d. March 11th, 1944), married William Griffiths (b. 1865) on November 20th, 1889 in Walkerton, Ontario. -Mary Jane Bottrell (b. about 1870). -Catherine Bottrell (b. about 1875). -John W. Bottrell (b. about 1878 in Grey County, Ontario) and died on September 2nd, 1898 in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Saturday, September 3rd, 1898, Page 4 of "The Sault Ste. Marie News" Death of John Bottrell. John Bottrell, driver for P. C. Kelther, after a short illness, died yesterday morning, of inflammation of the bowels. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the M. E. Church. Interment in the Riverside cemetery. Mr. Bottrell leaves a wife to mourn his loss. After James Bottrell died around 1890 Maria went to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan to live with her son, John. Her obituary from April 26, 1900 edition of the Hanover Post says that she had lived in Hanover seven or eight years ago. According to the obituary, Maria died of a stroke. Another obituary-Saturday, April 28th, 1900-Page 6 of "The Sault Ste. Marie News"…Mrs. Maria Bottrell died suddenly Tuesday morning at her home in the Lalande block, Asmun street, from the effects of a parlytic stroke. The deceased was 60 years of age and is survived by five children. The remains were taken to Hanover, Ont., Thursday, by Samuel Bottrell, her son, for internment. Her son William of Walkerton was in Hanover making arrangements for her internment in the Hanover (Crispin) cemetery. Her husband was buried there about 10 years before; however, there is no marker at the cemetery. Our local Librarian (Hanover) got the location from the cemetery caretakers. On Maria's death certificate from Sault Ste. Marie, it states she was at the time of her death, 67 years, 10 months and 28 days old. That would put her birth date as May 26th, 1832. This does not work well with her sister Mary Ann's birth date, which came from church records. It's a mystery! 6. Henry Wall-This is Annabelle (Miller) Holley's line. Born in Montague Township, Lanark Co in Feb. 1st, 1836 and died May 13th, 1910, Bentinck Twp, Grey Co. Henry also came to Grey County in the 1840s with his parents and lived on Con. 1 SDR. Henry married Elizabeth Hillis on Mar. 8th, 1858 in Durham County, Ontario. Elizabeth was born on July 12th, 1836, at Co. Monaghan, Ireland and died Aug. 25th, 1902, Bentinck Twp. Elizabeth's parents, William Hillis (1799) and Mary Boyd (1794), were also a neighbour of the Wall family east of Hanover. Both William and Mary were from Co Monaghan, Ireland. William died on Dec.29th, 1881, age 82 and Mary died on April 25th, 1898, age 104. Dates and ages are from their gravestones at the Durham Cemetery, Bentinck Twp, Grey Co, Ontario, along with where born, "Native of Co. Monaghan, Ireland." They were from the town of Monaghan in Co Monaghan. They are listed in the Legnacreeve-Braddox Presbyterian Church Records there. Initially William Hillis and Mary Boyd lived at Aghnasedagh (a townland), which is part of Monaghan Town, but they attended Legnacreeve Church, which is in the town of Clontibret. Other Hillis families also listed at the same Church are James & Beth Hillis of Lisaginny, Clontibret, & Robert & Mary Hllis of Roghan, Derrynoose. The children (all born in Ireland) of William and Mary: -James, born 1830, married Elizabeth Wall (see her section). -Margaret, born Nov. 12th, 1833, married David Connor. -William 1835. Never married. -Elizabeth, born May 29th, 1837, married Henry Wall. -Sarah, born May 29th, 1837, twin to Elizabeth, married George Torry. -Mary, born Apr 5th, 1842, married John White on Jan 10th, 1871. -Ann, born 1848. Never married. -Jane, Nov. 18th, 1845, married William Running on March 9th, 1875. -Rebecca born on March 12th, 1850. She married Edwin Disney on Jan. 7th, 1879 (the name Helen is in marriage record). The family was in Canada by the 1851 Bentinck Twp, Grey Co, Ontario census. James Hillis married Elizabeth Wall, Henry's sister. Henry Wall married Elizabeth Hillis, James sister. So a Hillis brother and sister married a Wall brother and sister. Henry and Elizabeth probably lived on the lot that James Wall took out from the Crown before he and Mary Ann moved to Sydenham Township, possibly Lot 23, Con 1 SDR. They are both buried in the Crispin Cemetery, Hanover, Grey Co, Ontario. The 1861 Bentinck Twp Grey Co, Census shows that they lived next to Henry's parents, Moses & Ann Wall. Their first two children, Mary Ann (1859 – 1931) and Moses (1861 – 1926) were born there. They then moved to Lot 11, Con 7 Bentinck Twp in 1862. Their third child was William (1863 – 1934). The other children were John (1865 – 1943), Rebecca (1868 – 1948), Margaret Jane (1870 – 1946), and Robert (1873 – 1878). Except for William, the children of Henry and Elizabeth all remained in the Grey County area. William left for the west in about 1906 and we believe that he died in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1934. There is a record of one William Wall who died in Vancouver in 1934 and his age at death was shown as 63 years. Mary Ann never married. Moses Wall (the son) married Mary Elizabeth Donnelly (b. 1864), daughter of John and Alice Donnelly of Bentinck Township. Moses and Mary's children were: -John Henry (b. 1885) who married Sarah Cowdrey (b. 1882) on May 23, 1907. -Elizabeth (Bessie) (1887-1947) who married Sam Wendorf (b.1882). -James (1888-1945). Henry and Elizabeth's son John married Isabella Teasdale and their children were: -Edgar, who died in infancy. -Ruth who married Ross Miller. -Ruby who married Edward Stangler and later Sylvester Benninger. -Rebecca (1868-1946) never married. -Margaret Jane married Willie Owens on Oct. 13th, 1895, Hanover. Their children: Ethel and William. Henry Wall was my Great Grandfather, his son John Wall, was my Grandfather, his daughter Ruth Wall (Miller), was my Mother. We have a lot more information on the descendants of Henry Wall & Elizabeth Hillis available. -Annabelle 7. Elizabeth Wall Born on March 5th, 1839 in Montague Twp, Lanark Co and died April 18, 1915. She came with her family to Grey County. She married her neighbour, James Hillis who was a brother to Henry's wife Elizabeth. See Henry Wall's section for notes on the Hillis family. James was born in 1830 at Co. Monaghan, Ireland. James and Elizabeth were married Feb. 5, 1858 at Arthur, Wellington Co, Ontario. They moved to Egremont Twp, Grey Co, farmed there and had ten children. James died on Jan. 26th, 1901. Their children: -Sarah was born in 1858 and married Thomas Flood in 1881. -Mary Elizabeth was born in 1863 and married James Flood in 1881. -James Wall was born in 1870 and married Ellen Finnigan in 1892. -William was born 1872 and married Elizabeth Wilson in 1899. -David was born in 1874 and married Sarah Wilson in 1903. -Robert was born in 1875 and married Elizabeth Gamble in 1893. -Margaret was born in 1876 and married James Donnelly in 1901. -Rachael born in 1879 married Thomas Bartman in 1903. -Adam born in 1881. -Samuel G. was born in 1888 and never married. He died when he hit a GTR train (Grand Trunk Railway). There is more history on the Hillis families available. -Annabelle 8. Margaret Wall Born on Oct. 29th, 1845 in Montague Twp, Lanark Co and died on Nov. 5th, 1872. Margaret was the youngest daughter of Moses & Anne. She married William Scott on August 1, 1867 in Bruce County. They lived at Kincardine. They had 3 children: Robert (b. 1868) who married Jessie Conquergood (b. 1868), Elizabeth (1870-1929) who first married to Duncan McFadyen (d. 1902). According to the book, Toil, Tears and Triumph, a history of Kincardine Township, Duncan McFadyen, a native of Scotland, was a ship captain who moved to Bruce County in 1876 from Cape Breton where he had received his captain's training. The same history book says that he had previously married a woman named Annie who died in 1898. The book goes on to say that in that same year, 1898, Captain McFadyen married Elizabeth Scott of Huron Township and they had two sons, John McFadyen (1899-1979) who married Hazel Colwell, and Frank McFadyen, (1901-1985). Captain McFadyen died in 1902 from a fall into the hold of a ship. In 1910, Elizabeth Scott McFadyen remarried to Allan McFadyen and they had a daughter, Sadie (1913-1960). The third child of William Scott and Margaret Wall was Margaret (b. 1872) known in life as Maggie, married Joshua Bradley (b. 1882), son of Joseph Bradley (b. about 1848) and Agnes Williams (b. about 1859). It is said in Toil, Tears and Triumph that Margaret (Maggie) Scott Bradley was from Purple Grove at the time of her marriage. Joshua and Maggie Bradley moved to Resources, Saskatchewan. Margaret (Wall) Scott died November 5, 1872. William Scott then married Elizabeth McPherson in 1874 and they had additional family. 9. William Wall Born on July 13th, 1846 in Montague Twp, Lanark Co and died Jan 25, 1934. William was the last of the nine children of Moses and Ann Wall. He was still living with his parents and sister, Margaret in the 1861 Census. He married Janet McKay on Nov. 13, 1866. In the 1871 Census they are living in Brant Twp. In 1881 they are living in Bentinck Twp with Joseph Irwin, 11 yrs old living with them. Janet Wall died December 24, 1891 at the House of Industry and Refuge, Wellington County. She was buried at the home for aged which was down the road from the place where she died. Her death certificate said she was bedridden for some time. On January 3, 1893 William married Rosanna Gamble, a widow with six children. They then had a daughter Ufie (b. 1895) who married Charles Keller in 1914, and a son William James (b. 1897) who in 1919 married Ethel Hooey (b. 1897), (found Ethel with her parents Robert and Annie Hooey in Albemarle, Bruce County, Ontario 1911 census). William and Rosanna lived in the Durham area (Durham County). Sometime around 1917, they moved to Kitchener. William and Roseanna are both buried in the Thomas Russell Family Plot at Maplewood Cemetery, Kitchener, Normanby Township, Waterloo County. Their graves not marked. Below I have attempted to transcribe the Last Will and Testament of Moses Wall of Bentinck Township, Grey County, Ontario, Canada from a copy of the handwritten original Will. Moses Wall died January 17, 1864 in Bentinck Township. He was born about 1796 in Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland. His wife, Anne (nee Merrett) Wall, died July 1, 1892 in Bentinck Township. She was born about 1805 in England. I am Patrick D.

Signed and sealed by the said Moses Wall in our presence and in the presence of each other Signed by Alexander Parsons Signed by James Whitmore Moses (x) Wall TWO TIPPERARY GUYS NAMED MOSES By Patrick Burns Moses Wall (ca. 1795 - 1864) of Bentinck Township, Grey County, arrived from Roscrea, Tipperary, Ireland in the summer of 1819 aboard the ship, Eolus. He settled initially in Lanark County & he married Anne Merrett there in 1823. He moved to Bentinck Township & took Lot 22, Con 1 SDR in 1854. He is buried Switzer Graveyard. Moses & Anne had many offspring: Jane (Wynn), John, James, Maryanne (Rose), Maria (Bottrell), Henry, Elizabeth (Hillis), Margaret (Scott), & William. It is easy to confuse Moses Wall of Bentinck with another Moses Wall who resided 40 miles (60 km) to the west, who was also Anglican and who also started as a settler in eastern Ontario & finally settled in Huron Twp., Bruce County. Moses Wall of Bruce County was born in County Tipperary, Ireland ca. 1806, married Ellen Green and arrived in Canada in 1836. They lived in Ottawa, then in Middlesex County & finally in Bruce Co., Huron Twp., where in 1859 Moses took Lot 3 in Concession 9. To Moses & Ellen were born: Edward, Joseph, John, Silas, William, Thomas, Henry, George, Anna & Margaret. Some of the identical names of the children of each Moses have also caused confusion and error. As an example, Bruce County marriage records show that in 1867 Margaret Wall "of Bentinck" married William Scott of Huron Twp. However, the commemorative book "Families & Farms of Huron" published in 1985 assumed Margaret Wall Scott was the daughter of the Moses of Bruce County. She was in fact the daughter of Moses Wall of Bentinck Township according to Bruce County records. There are plenty of other opportunities for confusion of the two Wall families so I thought I would just send out this heads up notice. I've run into obvious errors in a couple of documents (the LDS, IGI included) because of the genealogist's lack of realization that there are two Moses Walls of similar age, same religion & Tipperary background who lived near one another in Ontario in the 1850s & 1860s and had many children and grandchildren. CLIMBING THE WALLS by Patrick Burns August 2005 Greetings to everyone from the Moses Wall side of the family! My name is Patrick Burns. I'm an amateur genealogist and I have been a close friend of Randy Wall since around 1990, long before we had any inkling that we were related and fourteen years before we could prove the connection. Here is the story of how, over a thirty-year period, I discovered my connections to the Walls and, ultimately, of the Wall Family connection to Ireland. In the summer of 1975, while driving to Toronto from Minneapolis, I drove through the city of London, Ontario. My dad, Jack Burns, was born there in 1922 so I took a stab at finding his baptismal records in the Roman Catholic cathedral in the middle of London. I hit pay dirt! I was in the right church and I found his baptismal records right away by looking through the church register. There were also records for the marriage of his parents, Daniel Burns and Pearl Bottrell as well as records for his grandparents. That was really the beginning of my genealogy work. Pearl Bottrell, my dad's mother who passed away in the 1930s, was one of three daughters born to Samuel Amos Bottrell and his wife, Margaret Sarah Donnelly. Both Sam and Margaret came from large families of pioneer farmers from England and Ireland who settled in the Bentinck Township, Ontario area in the mid 1850s. Bentinck Township is a couple of hours north of London, Ontario and a couple of hours northeast of Detroit, Michigan. By the end of the 1970s, I found the names of the parents of both Samuel Bottrell and Margaret Donnelly. Most of the Bottrell family had moved to the western U.S. and Canada by the 1920s. The Donnellys are still very well represented in the Bentinck Township area. (There are still Moses Wall family descendants in the Bentinck area as well.) Samuel Bottrell also eventually left the Hanover area when he and his wife and three daughters (with their bright red hair) moved south to London, Ontario, where Sam spent his working life as a streetcar conductor until his death in 1922. Samuel was the son of two children of immigrant families. His father was James Bottrell (1826 - ????) and his mother was MARIA WALL (ca 1834 - ????). When Randy and I discovered we had a common interest in genealogy, we did a little note comparing. At some time around 1995, we discovered we both knew of a Moses Wall who was a Protestant living in Canada. We brushed it off quickly because Randy's Moses Wall lived far to the east near Ottawa and my Moses Wall lived hundreds of miles west of that near the London area, not far from Lake Huron. For Randy, Moses was a relative. For me, Moses was a potential relative living near my great-great-grandmother, Maria Wall & her husband, James Bottrell. Randy and I discovered only much much later that he was talking about the whereabouts of Moses Wall in the 1820s and I was talking about Moses Wall in the 1850s. I knew about Moses Wall only because of the Ontario censuses I was able to view at the Mormon LDS Family History Center. What made me curious about Moses Wall was that he lived in Bentinck Township in the vicinity of James Bottrell and, Mrs. Bottrell (Maria Wall) and that Moses Wall and Maria Wall had the same last name. But, the censuses for Ontario reported only that Maria (Wall) Bottrell was born in Ontario. Ontario's a huge piece of real estate so the chance of ever finding more specific information about Maria Wall's birthplace seemed pretty slim. And as far as I knew, this Moses Wall left England and moved to Bentinck Township…end of story…or so I thought. Sharing a last name can easily be a coincidence. At that time, I couldn't see anyway in which I could connect Maria Wall to Moses Wall. The internet has been an amazing tool for genealogists. Because I posted messages on the internet in connection with all of these Canadian families, I heard from some third cousins from Detroit who also were related to the Bottrells of Bentinck Township. These two women, twins, about my age, suggested that we meet in the summer of 2000 in Hanover, Ontario for the 150th anniversary celebration for Bentinck Township. At that reunion we met no Bottrell descendants but I did run into a very helpful relative of mine named Donnetta McCulloch who is a Donnelly descendant (hence, her name). Donnetta's aunt was my great-grandmother Margaret Donnelly Bottrell (daughter-in-law of Maria Wall). Donnetta McCulloch had Bottrell photographs for me which were taken in the early 1900s --- these included a picture of Samuel Bottrell, the son of Maria Wall and James Bottrell, and his family. Besides getting these wonderful photographs at the Bentinck event, I also purchased a commemorative book --- a huge volume on the history of Bentinck Township & its people called "Farm Lanes of Bentinck 1850-2000". This book became an immense help later in helping to trace Moses Wall back to eastern Canada and to Ireland. Incidentally, I also ran into a Wall family descendant at the reunion celebration, but in her research, she had never heard of anyone named Maria Wall. Around 2001, Randy told me that he had found a very helpful Canadian genealogist named Glenn King who lived in Kingston, Ontario. Randy suggested that I might find Glenn helpful and he was right. Glenn helped me expand my information on the Burns, Donnelly and Bottrell families on a regular basis. Glenn even did a little looking around for more information on Maria Wall in Bentinck Township but not with much result. Then, one day in 2004, with the help of the Internet, things got pretty exciting. There is a website on the internet called "Ingeneas". The sponsors of this site provide online copies of certain specific very old Canadian records for a very small fee. I have ordered numerous records for specific Bottrell & Burns individuals over last few years and I've found the information very helpful on occasion. From time to time, "Ingeneas" sends out emails to announce that some new records have become available online. So in the spring of 2004, I got a routine announcement that there were some new records so I went to the website and did a search on some of my surnames, including Bottrell. Based on the search, a list came back and indicated that there were some new Bottrell records available but it turned out that the only newly available record for the Bottrell name was an "Agricultural Census" for 1851 for Bentinck Township. I had never heard of an "Agricultural Census" and I had seen the regular census of 1851 for that area so my first instinct was to save my $5.00 and not order something that was bound to be useless. What could possibly be on this new census record for 1851 that wasn't on the others that I already had seen? Against my better instincts, I ordered the record. A week later I received my online reply from "Ingeneas". It named the inhabitants of the farm in Bentinck Township and for some unknown reason, in what almost looked like a postscript, it listed the wife of James Bottrell as "MRS. JAMES BOTTRELL… and to my astonishment a small note said that Mrs. Bottrell had been born in BROCKVILLE." I was stunned. I just kept rereading the entry. I new that Maria Wall was Mrs. James Bottrell. And, after twenty-five years, based on census information that didn't even belong on a fluky agricultural census that was supposed to tell about how many acres were being farmed in 1851, I now had the name of the actual birthplace of Maria Wall. She was born a few hundred miles east of Bentinck Township in Brockville, Ontario!!!! I was so excited about my find that I could hardly type my next email request to Glenn King, the genealogist in Kingston. I told Glenn that I had found Maria Wall's birthplace in an obscure census record and I reminded him that I had a hunch that Maria Wall Bottrell just might be a relative of the Moses Wall whose farm at that time was right across the road from Maria's farm in Bentinck Township. I told Glenn that the census stated that Maria was born in Brockville, Ontario. Glenn had apparently forgotten or never known that I was referred to him by Randy Wall because Glenn emailed back to me immediately and said that we should be in touch with another client of his named Randy Wall in Minnesota who had done extensive research on the Wall family in the Lanark County area just north of Brockville, Ontario. I wrote back to Glenn and reminded him that Randy Wall was one of my close friends and that I was aware of Randy's research. Now things were getting really exciting. Glenn began searching for evidence of Maria Wall in the Brockville area. The gist of the results of his search was that he found church records for the Anglican baptisms of several of Lanark County's Moses Wall's children in the Ottawa Anglican Diocese Franktown Register but there were no records for a child named Maria Wall. In the Ottawa Diocese church records, there was a daughter named Maryanne Wall found in the Perth Register but no Maria. At one point I was just ready to throw in the cards and trust that Maryanne and Maria were one and the same person (they're not) and that a spelling error had occurred on the baptismal record. Glenn also found the marriage record for Moses Wall and his wife Anne Merrett in the Ottawa Diocese Perth Register church records for February 17, 1823. A search for marriage records for James Bottrell and Maria Wall turned up nothing so we could not check for the names of their parents on a marriage certificate to determine if Maria & Moses were related. Finally, at Randy's urging, I asked Glenn King to search in government records for a will for Moses Wall of Bentinck Township. Now, the connection of Maria Wall to the Moses Wall family depended finally only on the mention of her in Moses' will. Finally, in July 2004, Glenn was able to find the will of Moses Wall dated August 22, 1863 and there it was in writing "I [Moses Wall] give...to my children hereinafter named…John Wall, James Wall, Mary Ann Rose, Maria Bottrel, Henry Wall and Elizabeth Hillis…" It was the last chance for me to connect Maria Bottrell to the Moses Wall family and it had happened. So, now I had a legitimate reason to be extremely interested in Moses Wall of Bentinck Township and my personal library of out-of-print Canadian history books became my most valuable possession. First of all, these books helped me to differentiate between two men living only a few miles apart in the 1850s and both named Moses Wall. Luckily, family members of both Moses Wall families had provided some biographical information about each of these men in two different books. It turned out that the ‘other' Moses Wall, had arrived in Canada much later than our ancestor, though he had also started out as a settler in eastern Canada and then later settled about twenty miles west of Bentinck Township near Kincardine, Ontario. His wife was named Ellen. The information for the background of "our" Moses Wall" is found in a biographical sketch about Henry Wall, a farmer and the son of Moses Wall, in the "Farm Lanes of Bentinck". The book is largely divided into sections which tell the history of each piece of farmland. Henry Wall owned a farm in an area of Bentinck Township known as the "Lamlash School Section". His farmland was identified as "Lot 11 Concession 7 NDR". (NDR stands for ‘north of Durham Road'). There is also a picture of Henry Wall and his wife, Elizabeth Hillis on the same page 499. It tells us first that Henry took land from the Crown in 1870 (100 acres). Then the narrative states: "On January 22, 1870 Henry Wall (1836-1910) received a Crown Deed for this lot. He and his wife Elizabeth Hillis, who were married in 1858, settled on this lot around 1862 with two small children. Two squatters by the name of Johnstone had been living on the farm. Henry Wall was the son of Anne and Moses Wall who had emigrated from Tipperary, Ireland before 1823. Henry and his wife Elizabeth cleared the land with oxen, then built a log house and barn around 1873. Their family included: William Wall, Moses Wall, John Wall who married Isabella Teasdale, Robert Wall (1875-1878), Mary Ann Wall (1858-1931) …, Rebecca Wall (1870-1950) … and Margaret Jane Wall (died 1931) who married William Owens. The children attended the Lamlash School and Lamlash Methodist Church. Elizabeth Wall died in 1902, the year that Henry and his son John built the barn that is still being used today. When Henry Wall died in 1910 John succeeded his father as owner. John and his sister Mary Ann and Rebecca continued to farm Lot 11 until John Wall married Isabella Teasdale, who had emigrated with her family from Dublin, Ireland. The two sisters Mary Ann and Rebecca retired to Elmwood. John and Isabella Wall had a family of three: Edgar (who died in infancy), Ruth Wall who married Ross Miller, and Ruby Wall who married Edward Stangler and then married Sylvester Benninger (Hanover). The first Bentinck Plowing Match was held on the John Wall farm in 1938. In 1941 there was an agreement of sale with daughter Ruth Wall and her husband Ross Miller. John and Isabella Wall moved to Elmwood where they lived until their deaths. The Millers became registered owners of Lot 11 in 1958. Ross & Ruth made many changes. In the 1940s, they built the house that stands there now and changed the method of farming from the horse drawn implements to tractors and other powered machinery. The members of their family are Robert Miller who married Jean Dalziel, Annabelle Miller who married Authur Holley…Leslie Miller who married Helen Holley…Wallace Miller who married Linda Hoffman,…Judy Miller who married Steven Shelley…and Douglas Miller who married Diane DeGroot [with whom Randy Wall has corresponded]. In 1986 Douglas miller purchased part of the farm. In 1992 after the death of his parents [Ross & Ruth] in 1989, Douglas and Diane became owners of the family farm. Their children are Tyler and Katrina Miller. THIS IS A CENTURY FARM HAVING HAD FOUR GENERATIONS OF THE WALL FAMILY FARMING AND RAISING THEIR CHILDREN THERE. The "Farmlanes of Bentinck" also contains an extensive list of cemetery transcriptions. It is in this section of the book that the burial place of Moses Wall is indicated on page 816. Moses' grave is in a no longer used cemetery known as St. George's Cemetery (aka Switzer Graveyard) just outside of the town of Hanover on Lot 16 Concession 1 NDR in Bentinck Township. This information led to our discovery of the Irish origins of the Wall family. Randy Wall telephone the public library in Hanover to inquire about the cemetery. The person with whom he spoke suggested that Randy get in touch with the caretaker of the cemetery, an elderly man by the name of Frank Purves. Randy immediately made a phone call to Frank Purves who was very cordial and pleased to hear from Randy Wall. Frank confirmed that Moses Wall's grave was in that cemetery. Then he announced the shocking news that on almost every tombstone in the cemetery, the original town of the immigrant's origin was inscribed. We couldn't believe it. To make the story a little shorter, Frank Purvis went to Moses' grave a excavated a couple of feet down and there it was…the inscribed location of Moses Wall's hometown --- Roscrea, Tipperary, Ireland! The tombstone is in need of repair so Frank would like us to gather some monetary resources and he'll have some restoration done on it before it is returned to the ground. Moses Wall: Born 1796, Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland. He came to Lower Canada (Quebec) in June of 1819. He soon settled in Upper Canada (Ontario). In Ontario, he married Anne Merritt Feb. 17, 1823 (Anne was born about 1802 in England). In the late 1840's Moses and his family moved west to Bentinck Township in central Canada. Moses died on Jan. 17th, 1864, age 68, at Bentinck Township, Grey County, Ontario, Canada. He is buried in St. George Cemetery, just east of Hanover, Grey County, on the north side of highway #4. Children of Moses & Anne: Jane (born 1825-married Edward Wynn), John (born 1825), James (born 1829 and we are working on his history), Mary Ann (born 1832-married Ambrose Rose), Maria (born 1834-married James Bottrel, Patrick's line), Henry (born 1836-married Elizabeth Hillis), Elizabeth (born 1839-married James Hillis), Margaret (born 1841-married William Scott), and William (born 1843- married Janet McKay). A lot of this material below was in the Wayne and Bonnie (Wall) Kinion's book; "The Walls of Canada and Iowa", 1991. Some of the information has been rewritten and/or put into a different text. We are so grateful to them that this work was done years ago. It inspired all of us to continue to collect more WALL history. Dr. Glenn J. Lockwood, archivist at the Anglican Diocesan of Ottawa, Canada, has written two books on Lanark County; Beckwith Township and Montague Township. Both books have been studied and information collected that is available to us on the Wall families from this material. The records for the Church of England, Anglican archives, have been search several times for all available Wall records that exist. We have even searched the local newspapers of that time for any record that might give us more Wall information. We have been through! The ship Eolus set sail on May 5th, 1819, Waterford, Ireland and arrived in Canada, on June 25th, 1819, at the Port of Quebec, in the Province of Quebec. It took 51 days for the Wall's on this sailing vessel, to arrive in Canada from Ireland. Ship records from transcriptions of the original manifest- 675. James Wall, emigrant, 1 adult male, 1 adult female, 1 male under 7, 2 females over 7, 1 female under 7, country Ireland, ship name Eolus, June 26, 1819, located July 31, 1819 Beckwith, C7 NE13. SDP. (Concession 7, Northeast Lot 13) SDP means SETTLING DUTIES PERFORMED. 676. Moses Wall, emigrant, 1 adult male, country Ireland, ship name Eolus, June 26, 1819, located July 31, 1819 Beckwith, C7 SW13. SDP. (Concession 7, Southwest Lot 13) The immigration ship record for James Wall shows 1 adult male (James Wall) 1 woman (Ellen Wall, 1791), 1 male under 7, 1 female under 7 (Mary, 1813), and 2 females over 7 (Ann 1811ca). (September 2010, we have now discovered another daughter; ANN. She is the mother of Ellen Dazell that is mention in James Wall's will of 1845.) The record also shows that Moses Wall arrive alone in Canada on the same ship. We know that Ann (Wall) Dalzell (born 1811ca) and Mary (Wall) Wynn (born 1813) were both born in Ireland and came over with their parents, James and Ellen. There are two children listed for James Wall in the ship records that are unaccounted for. Were they somebody else's children? Or siblings to James and Moses? Census records for James Wall. The 1820 census Beckwith Township, James WALL: 1 female, (Ellen his wife born 1791), 2 sons, could one of them be Moses Wall (1796) because he is not listed in the1820 census and he has received his land but has not built anything on it yet? The other son might be Henry or a worker. 3 daughters (total 7). We know the daughters are Ann (1811ca), Mary (1813), others could be Ellen (a possible twin to Henry) or field workers or someone who needed a place to stay for a while. They were living in the northeast lot 13, concession 7, Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Ontario. In the census records, you were not asked what kind of relationship a person was in the home to the head of the house. All they recorded, after the head of the household name was written down, was to list the number of sons and daughters in the household. It did not matter that some of the people were not related or what there age was. Just to get a head count of male and female. Here is a sample: HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD Female Sons Daughters Total In Hsld The female part in the census was basically if there was a wife or not. Many times house guest or servants/workers were written down in this list under sons and daughters. So you could never trust the census records if the were family or not. It was not until 1851 when they wrote out everybody's name. The 1821 census for Beckwith Township, 1 man, 1 woman, 1 boy, 3 girls: family total of 6. James, Ellen (1791) Ann (1811ca), Mary (1813), Henry (1821), and Ellen. (1821 twin's maybe?) Moses was living alone. The 1822 census for Beckwith Township, Wall, James; 1 woman and 1 son. We know there is a mix-up. Some of the family is living over at Moses Wall's home (See Moses 1822 census record). Maybe a minister and his wife and one child are living here (or they recorded the census results for James and Moses wrong. We know that James had children at this time. Moses didn't. He did not marry until 1823). Read text below- Canadian history has recorded our James Wall in, "A Pioneer History of the County of Lanark" by Jean McGill, taken from page 192. The author found this story in the book by Jessie Buchanan Campbell, the Pioneer Pastor, Toronto, 1900. This story documents our James Wall of Beckwith Township in 1822, as follow; "In February 1822, The Rev. William Bell went to Beckwith (Township) and organized a church admitting 90 members. He held communion services in the upper story of the Franktown Inn (presumably Nowlan's), (in the village of Franktown of Beckwith Twp.) This service inaugurated the Beckwith Presbyterian Church, but when the new minister, the Rev. George Buchanan, arrived to start up the church on August 10th, of that year, nothing had been prepared for him and his family to live in, by the settlers. Beckwith settlers were in the midst of the fall harvest. James Wall, a generous Irishman, offered the Buchanan's, including 7 girls and 2 boys, his own newly built log house. Here they remained for 6 weeks until the settlers could build them a home." Another paragraph from the book by Campbell, "a few Irish settlers who were Protestant and members of the Anglican Church (Church of England), also attended Rev. Buchanan's services, since no provision had as yet been made for Anglicans residing in Beckwith Twp. These settlers also called Rev. Buchanan in case of sickness or a death in the family" On May 19th, 1824, James Wall was granted a deed from the crown for 100 acres in Beckwith Township, South Lanark County, Ontario. Northeast half of lot 13, concession 7 (next door to Moses Wall). James had met the requirements of terms and was given this land for improving it. Now in 1837 after 18 years in Beckwith Township, James Wall and family moved to Montague Township also in Lanark County (It's about 20 miles distance from point to point). The abstract of the title, for a lot in Beckwith Township, shows that James Wall sold 100 acres to a Peter and James McArthur on August 10th, 1837. (This was not all the land James owned in Beckwith. He gave some of it to Henry, his son, in his will of 1845). The 1840 census for Montague Township in Lanark County, listed the James Wall family as; 1 male under 16 (Isaac born 1833), 3 females under 16 (Susan born 1825, Jane born 1827 and one could be Ellen Dalzell/Dezell (born 1834), the granddaughter, 2 males over 16 (hired help?), 2 females over 16 (Ellen Wall Scott born 1821 and Margaret Wall Riddle born 1823), and Church of England, 4 (the census at this time listed adults with their religion denominations.), James, Ellen (1791), Henry (1821) and Mary (1813). The land they owned was the west half of lot 18, second concession. Also 100 acres in Beckwith Township, Northeast half of lot 11, first concession. The 1841 census for Montague showed the family the same way. The 1851 census for Montague Township is incomplete at the present and missing are two parts which include the section for the Wall families. This is really too bad. A big piece of the Wall family history is gone somewhere? I hope it is not forever. The 1861 census in Montague for the Wall's, list Ellen Wall and Henry Wall (a son) living with Isaac Wall (another son to Ellen) and Isaac's family. Ellen is 70 (1791), born Ireland and Henry is 40 (1821), born Canada, single and a labourer. By this time, James Wall is now deceased. Census records for Moses Wall. 1819 ship record, 1 man (Moses born 1796). 1820 census Beckwith Twp, Lanark Co. has Moses missing from census. He could be living with James Wall and family. 1821 census for Beckwith Twp; 1 man. Moses is living on his own land. 1822 census for Beckwith Township; 1 woman, 1 son, 4 daughters, total 7. Wow, what happened? Moses family grew over night. It's because James Wall's children are there and some of the house guests staying there are from the new minister in town. The village folks are building a house for him and his family of 11 or they mixed up the census results for James and Moses families. Moses was given a patent grant (for land) for having performed the terms of settlement (clearing a portion of the land) of 100 acres in southwest half of lot 13, concession 7 (next door to James Wall). Moses Wall was also granted a deed from the CROWN on May 19th, 1824, for these 100 acres in Beckwith Township, Lanark County (It was the southwest half of lot 13, concession 7). Moses sold this parcel of land March 4th, 1831, to James McArthur, Jr. The 1839 census for Montague Township, Lanark County, listed the family of Moses Wall as; 3 males under 16 (John 1825, James 1829, Henry 1836), 3 females under 16 (Jane 1825, Maryanne 1832, Maria 1834), 1 male & female over 16 (servants/field hands or a couple living with them?), Church of England, 2 (Moses 1796 and Anne 1806). (As stated before, the census at this time listed adults with their religion denominations.) The 1840 census is the same way. The 1841 census listed one more female over 16 (Jane), and Church of England, 3. (One of the girls turned 16 and they had one more girl born in the family, Elizabeth, 1840.) On April 8th, 1844, an order was signed permitting Moses Wall to purchase the west half of crown lot 22 in the 9th concession of the township of Montague, Lanark County, where he lived for nearly 6 years and improved. So Moses sold this land in 1850 and moved to Bentinck Township, Grey County, Ontario, Canada and lived out his life there. He and his family were living in this "new country" by the 1851 Bentinck Twp census. This was known as the "Huron Tract District". He has a gravestone listed where they came from in Ireland: Rossgary (sic Roscrea), Co. Tipperary, Ireland. The person who carved the gravestone, spelled the word as he heard it; ROSSGARY = Roscrea. As an example, here is a newspaper obituary with the same wrong spelling (but is not a relative): COFFEY, buried at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Ellen Coffey native of Rossgray (sic Roscrea) Co. Tipperary Ireland. SIC; square brackets are most commonly used around the word 'sic' to explain the status of an apparent mistake. So we leave the original text alone and mark it as a mistake in spelling with (sic) in parentheses after the word. James Wall and Moses Wall; are they brothers? There are so many similarities in their lives. Arriving at the same time and ship from Ireland; Living on the same land and sharing their homes to each other which we saw in census records; same pattern in using first names for their children. But there still is no proof on paper which we could find, if the two were related and/or brothers. We have checked Ireland and the records we are searching for, in the town of Roscrea and surround areas, do not exist today. The basic records from church registries, baptisms, marriages, and deaths, do not go back that far in this area. A male descendant of Moses Wall, William (Bill) Wall, from Nottawa* (NOT Ottawa), Simcoe County, Ontario and myself, Randy Wall, From Minneapolis, Minnesota, have now shared our DNA with a lab here in Houston, Texas to finally prove either way if the two were related. * Nottawa is a small village in Clearview Township located approximately 3 kilometers south of Collingwood and near Barrie. Nottawa is well known for the Pretty River which runs through the middle of the village. The river attracts many fisherman from Ontario, Michigan, New York etc. The population of Nottawa is around 550 and growing. One of the busiest places in Nottawa in the summer is the baseball diamond which is rarely vacant. The name of Nottawa comes from an old feud between area tribes. The Iroquois and Huron tribes were both living in the area when one camp shouted Nottaway to the other camp; which meant Dirty Snake in the native tongue. So the name Nottawa stuck with the area to this day. Many companies often redirect mail to Ottawa because 'Nottawa' looks like a typo. This even happened to Bill and Rebecca Wall's marriage certificate. It says Ottawa but should read, Nottawa. They have tried to change it but were unsuccessful. And now I can say YES they were brothers; James and Moses. The DNA match between myself and Bill is a perfect match. The only way that could of happened is that we have the same genes! Even though the DNA test can not say they were brothers, there is absolutly proof they were from the same branch on the tree! I was told by a scientist at the DNA company, that I have achieved my mission; real brothers in life and ever after now, because of our DNA work.	Wall, Moses (I8297)

631	Note: He was a mining engineer and mining manager. At one time he was in charge of all underground miners at the South Crofty Mine, Poole, Cornwall. There is a model of the mine that Arthur designed and constructed in the Cornwall County Museum in Truro. Arthur travelled around the world as a mining engineer to India, Nicaragua, North and South America and Spain. Arthur and his first wife Helena lived in Mount Hawk for a time and then in Pednandrea Bungalow in Redruth in the 1930s. It appears that Arthur was separated from his wife at this time. He had bad asthma attacks and lived as a bachelor for nearly 14 years. Arthur married for a second time in 1946 after the death of his first wife. Apparently, Arthur and Helena were separated, but never formally divorced. He married Phebe Jane VINCENT in 1946 and when Arthur died a year later from liver cancer and brain cancer, he left everything to his second wife. The gross value of his estate was £773, 11 Shillings and 8 pence.

636	Notes from Karen Black's web site: Abel's story was chronicled by his granddaughter-in-law, Z. Elizabeth Turner Brunson in a genealogy entitled History of Abel Brunson and His Family 1786-1903. His pioneering experience is also described in Biographical and Historical Sketches of the Early Settlers of Ellery and Stockton, by J.L.Bugbea. Abel's mother is believed to have died when he was 5. At the age of 9, he was sent to live with the family of Abner Ives, probably around the same time that his father Barnabas Brunson was immigrating to Canada. In a will which was probated 16 Feb 1822, Barnabas left his "son Abel" 25 pounds to paid in the three years after his decease in cattle or grain. There is some discrepancy about Abel's birth place. According to Dick Bronson's sources, he was born in New York State. However, the 1860 Census for Stockton, New York, gives his birth place as Connecticut and Sally's as Rhode Island. Abel was 74 then; Sally was 68 and children Oliver, age 28 and Sarah J., age 23 were still at home. Also living there was Alanzo, age 17, Lorenzo's son. Abel was 22 when he married 17 year old Sally Love in Bridgeport, New York. The newlyweds may have returned to Connecticut because Elizabeth Turner recorded that two years later, the young couple moved from "Connecticut" to New York along with their first two children, Horace and Huldah, and Sally's father John. They arrived in Chautauqua County in February 181 after a six week sleigh journey. Two cows tied behind the sleigh had furnished the family with milk and butter; the butter was churned by the motion of the sleigh. Abel eventually purchased 120 acres in the wilderness where South Stockton now is. Twenty years passed before he made the final payment on this $300.00 debt. In the year 1818 he built a framed house and soon after opened a tavern, which he kept until about 1838. When sons Alfred and Oliver grew up, they assumed the responsibility for the farm. The sawmill that Abel built on Dry Brook went dry. Pictures of Abel and Sally exist, as well as pictures of their tombstones, although none are in my possession. Abel's will read: "In the name of God Amen. I, Abel Brunson of the town of Stockton in the County of Chautauqua and State of New York of the age of seventy three years being of sound mind and memory do make and publish this my last will and testament in manner and form following as follows namely First I give and bequeath to my wife Sally Brunson all my household furniture. Second I give and bequeath to my daughters Hulda Story, Cynthia Phillips and Sarah Jane Brunson and their heirs the sum of nine hundred dollars. Share and share alike to be divided equally between them, and to be paid within five years after my decease, and in case any of my daughters above named shall die before my decease, it is my desire and direction that their heirs respectively inherit in such proportions as they would be intitled hereto the share which would have belonged to either of the said daughters of living at my decease. Third I give and bequeath to my Sons, Horace Brunson, Lorenzo Brunson, George C. Brunson, Sedgewick Brunson, and Abel O. Brunson and their heirs Three thousand and eighty three 34/100 dollars in equal proportions. Share and share alike, to be paid within five years after my decease. And it is my further will and direction that in case any of the above named Sons shall die before my decease that then and in that case, the heirs of such son so dying shall..." (This handwritten will was copied for me by Barb Caudle and probably dated sometime after December 19, 1861.)

637	Notes from Karen Black's web site: Amasa was identified when his father Barnabas Brunson left him 5 shillings in a will which was dated 18 Sep 1820 and probated 16 Feb 1822. Early census records (1797-1816) for the area now known as Percy Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario, Canada provide a continual record of Amasa in the area. When a List of Inhabitants of the Township of Percy was compiled in 1804, there was one female over 16 (presumably his wife), one male under 16 (possibly Barnabas) and one female under 16. A year later, there were three females in his house who are under age 16 and by 1810, he had yet another son and another daughter. By 1816, he had four boys and four girls less than 16 years old who where living in his house. There are some early land records referring to Amasa's property, but the Abstract Index at the Archives of Ontario reveal no further land transactions for Con 4, Lot 23, which would have established Amasa's continued presence in Upper Canada. This suggests that Amasa either died young or that he moved again. There is an Amasa Brunson who is found in the 1820 and 1825 censuses for Gerry, Chautauqua Co., New York, which is fairly close to Ellery where his brother Abel was also raising his family. This Amasa also has four sons and four daughters by 1825. There is also an Amasa who was blind and who ended up living with his daughter Lois Pier in the States. Amasa's children are also guesses. Horace Brunson of Cornwall, Ontario is not included, although Dick Bronson believes that he is somehow connected to Amasa. More About AMASA BRUNSON: Resided: September 01, 1797, Con 4, N 1/2 Lot 23, Cramahe Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario, Canada Resided: 1840 Pennsylvania Census, Amasa and Dorcas living in Cossawago Township, Crawford County Resided: 1850 Pennsylvania Census, Amasa only, living with Daughter Louis and her family in Cossawago Township, Crawford County. Census records Amasa as Blind.	Bronson, Amasa (I5836)
638	Notes from Karen Black's web site: Father Barnabas left his "daughter Levineah" 2 pounds, 11 shillings to paid one year after his decease. The will was dated 22 Feb 1822. Levineah remained in Cramahe Twp. or Percy Twp., Northumberland Co. with her husband Reuben. Reuben appears with his wife and three daughters during the 1815 and 1816 Annual Return of the Inhabitants of the Township of Percy which is posted on Bill Martin's website. I have found no further evidence of the family in the area, except Reuben and Levineah's son Reuben who is listed with his own family during the 1871-1881 censuses.	Brunson, Lavina (I5840)
639	Notes from Karen Black's web site: In a will which was probated 16 Feb 1822 in Percy Twp., Newcastle District, Canada, Barnabas Brunson left his son "Orsonus" five pounds to be paid two years after his decease in cattle or grain. Dick Bronson had originally thought that Orsemus might be the Orlando Brunson who married Lucy Baker and settled in Quebec. However, evidence suggests that Orsemus was living in Percy Twp. between 1804 and 1844. Early census records for Percy Twp. indicate that Orfamus (sic) was married and had two daughters by 1804, three daughters by 1805 and three daughters and a son by 1816, all born during a time period while Orlando was having his children in Quebec. In the 1828 Percy Twp. Assessment, Orsemus' wife is identified as Dorcas. Also in 1828, Proceedings of a Town Meeting,Percy Township, we find about 20 or so appointments, including making Jonathan Tripp and Orsemen (sic) Brunson pathmasters and William Stone a town warden. Orsemus appears in census records as late as 1844, although by this time his father is dead and his brothers are no longer in the vicinity. More About ORSEMUS BRUNSON: Property: March 22, 1815, Sold some property to Nathan Scribner (?).	Brunson, Orsonus Orlando (I5838)
640	Notes from Karen Black's website: Barnabas Brunson left his son "Phylanien" 10 shillings in his will, which was probated 16 February 1822 in Percy Twp., Newcastle District, Upper Canada. "Filander" was also recorded in the Annual Return ofthe Inhabitants of the Township of Percy-1815. The presence of an additional male in Barnabas Brunson's household during earlier censuses of Percy Twp., indicate that Philander was probably living with his parents until 1815. As he does not appear in any subsequent census records, we can estimate that he probably left Canada about 1816. The History of Chautauqua Co (NY), Young, 1875, p.556, lists among original purchasers of land in Stockton, NY--1817, Philander Brunson, 15 acres, Twp 3, range 12. Since Philander's brother Abel was living in the same vicintiy, it's possible that this was the same man. Recent evidence indicates that Philander decided to move even further southward to the vicinity of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In April 1998, new information about the adult Philander and his family emerged when his descendant John Scroggins of Conway, Arkansas contacted me on the Internet. John had obtained some of this information from Indiana and Arkansas census records. He also found tombstone inscriptions for some family members. Philander Brunson is believed to have been lured by the timber industry in Arkansas. One of his family is also supposed to have stolen an (Indian?) girl from Canada, but there is no evidence to support this story.	Brunson, Philander (I5844)
641	Notes from Karen Black's website: Like the Brunsons, Betsy was the descendant of a founder of Hartford, Connecticut, in her case Rev. Samuel Stone. Her father William and her brother Giles were also the first settlers in Burleigh Twp., Peterborough Co., Ontario in 1861.	Stone, Elizabeth Harrison (I1071)
642	Notes from Karen Black's website: Peggy's birth date is an estimate. She evidently died before 1836, since her step-son Amasa's marriage register records his parents as Barnabas and Elizabeth. Her name was extrapolated from her son Barny Junior's second marriage register in 1875. Although there are no sources which have revealed her parents, her presence in Percy Twp. indicates that she may have been immigrant Samuel Masters' daughter. Samuel's children have been identified mainly through their proximity to one another in Percy Twp.	Masters, Peggy (I5846)
643	Notes posted by Jocelyn Hopkins on Ancestry.ca (24 Apr 2008) John Northey was the third surviving son of William Pengelly Northey and Margaret Gordon. He was baptised in Germansweek parish February 23, 1823. He grew up in the lost village of Hennard Mill in Devonshire with his 4 brothers and 6 sisters. He probably worked on his father's tenent farm, and eventually worked as a farm labourer elsewhere. He was not living with his father in the 1841 census in Devonshire. It is believed he came to Canada in the fall of 1842 with his father and other family members. St John's Anglican church in Peterborugh recorded the marriage of John Northey and Anne Northcott January 20, 1846. Although married in an Anglican church, John and Anne were Methodists and supported Wesley Methodist church in Smith Township, which was built in 1867. Absolom Northey - son of John Northey - was on the Board of the church in 1869. Other Northey descendants served the church over the years as Ladies Aid members, superintendant of the Cradle Roll, Choir members, and Church socials - with bequests and donations being made to support the present Wesley United Church. John Northey first farmed Lot 19 Concession 6 in Smith Township. The 1851 cencus showed 100 acres of which 40 were under cultivation, 10 under crops and 30 used for pasture. By 1861, John Northey had left the above property and had moved to North Smith where he pruchased 500 acres on the 16th and 17th Concessions. He concentrated his farming endeavors to lots 11 and 12 on the 17th Concession, however some fields were cultivated on lots 30 and 31 also on the 17th. In the 1871 census, it is recorded he had 311 acres occupied. It appeared he encouraged his sons to buy farms in Smith Township as they became available. John Northey had 4 sons, 3 remained in Smith Township as farmers and the oldest - William - farmed in Harvey Township on land previously owned by his uncle Thomas Northey. John's wife Anne died August 16, 1864 - 19 days after giving birth to the last of her 9 children. Her daughter Harriett was born July 28, 1864, and was cared for by John Northey's sister and her husband - Margaret and Samuel Baker. Anne was buried in Gilmore Baptist churchyard in Smith Township. John died January 3, 1887 and was buried in Lakefield Cemetery.	Northey, William John (I1599)
644	Notes: Murdoch and Annie moved from Cape Breton in 1848. Notes: Moved to Kincardine twp. in 1852. Previously, Murdoch and Annie were natives of Cape Breton. He settled on Con6Lot22 in Kincardine Twp in 1854, and sold this lot in 1857 to Murdoch Matheson. ( Note also that Murdoch Matheson was accompanied by Murdoch's parents, Allan Matheson bc 1783 and his wife Margaret, natives of Scotland. Allan Matheson appears on the land grant request with John Finlayson Sr. in Cape Breton. (believed to be the same Allen Matheson).)In 1855 they bought Con6 Lot 23.He built a new brick house on the property in 1880 but he died before he moved into it (pg 213 TTT) The E1/2 went to his son David and the W1/2 stayed with the widow and was deeded to son James in 1898.
