- 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.

-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.

-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!
