Robert Jones #75254, b. c. 1780 in County Armagh, Ireland,1,2 occupation Farmer in Hillier Township, d. 30 August 1870 in Hillier Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario,1,2 buried in Christ Church Cemetery, Hillier Township, Prince Edward County, Ontario.2 . The Jones Family Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, 1904; (pages 447 - 452) "Born in the County of Armagh, Ireland, in 1780, of Welsh-Irish parentage, Robert Jones, the pioneer of the Jones family in Prince Edward County, belonged to a class of farmers in Ireland, though heavily handicapped as lease- holders and often rack-rented, have always given a good account of themselves. To Robert was given as good an education as his prospects demanded and the times permitted; and he also received a thoroughly good agricultural training on the family homestead, until he was of age to begin farming on his own account. This he did, at the same time marrying Mary Bell, the daughter of a neighbouring farmer, and of the same age as himself. The farm he chose was cultivated by him for twenty years, during which time all his sons and daughters, to the number of eleven, were born. "His determination to emigrate was not prompted by failure to succeed in farming in Ireland, but rather to the need he felt of securing a much larger holding for himself and his sons, and one that he should hold on better terms.

John R. Smith [123935]1 was born on 28 Oct 1808 in Sandy Lake, New York, USA2 and died on 9 Sep 1883 in Sumpter, Wayne, Michigan, USA3 at age 74. The cause of his death was old age.3 General Notes: Possibly: SMITH, J. R., farmer, Parish, b. Oswego, N.Y., s 1808, p.o. add. Parish (probably not as there is a James R. Smith that matches this description and has a different wife) There is a John Smith living next-door to John Thurston in Vernon, Oneida, New York and has one son living with him age 16+ (which would be a couple of years off from John). However, the proximity to the Thurston family makes it a good chance that this is John R. Smith's father. If that's the case, then John R. Smith's father is also a John Smith, who was 45+ in 1820 so would be born before 1775. Son Francis' death certificate: Says he was born in New York City There is a Sandy Creek in Oswego County, not a Sandy Lake. Sand Lake in Rensselaer County A Sand Bank In a St. Lawrence County Methodist Church marriage list, there is a groom born in Sandy Lake, NY and bride born in Gouverneur, NY in 1918 by pastor J.

  • Mcdonald, New Brunswick and Prince Edward County
    Family of Daniel McDonald, New Brunswick and Prince Edward County compiled by John A. Brebner for the Friends of Sandbanks 29 March 2021 Generation One 1. Daniel/David McDonald #67333, b. c. 1755? in Scotland? . From "Pioneer Life in the Bay of Quinte", 1904 "The McDonald Family." "The ancestors of this family came originally from Scotland from which country they fled at the time of the massacre of Glencoe *; eventually their descendants located in New Brunswick in the early days of the settlement of that province. Here were born David, Henry, John, William, Daniel, George, James, Alexander, Francis, Nancy and Susan; all of whom appeared to have emigrated to Prince Edward County and to have settled in or near Hallowell directly after the War of 1812." Local lore suggests that there were fewer children, but based on the McDonald families in Hallowell Township whose ancestry suggest both a New Brunswick birthplace, as well as their common religious beliefs within the Church of Christ Disciple at West Lake, the "Pioneer Life..." extract from 1901 is more likely... This is very much a genealogy in progress. There are many "loose ends", folks that seem to have disappeared from both Ontario and the United States. One of the major problems in tracing descendants of this family is that they often used their middle names, or nick-names later in life, rather than the first names that appear on their birth certificates, or in early census data. Daniel arrived in Prince Edward County after the War of 1812 from New Brunswick with five (more likely) sons and three daughters * (see conflicting data from above source).

  • Fifth Generation
    131 VERMILYEA GENEALOGY FIFTH GENERATION 97 AUSTIN Aeltie Vermilyea5, (Isaac4, John3, Isaac2, Johannes1) born November 24, 1756, married in 1773 at Yonkers, New York Thomas, son of Thomas and Abigail (Wilsea) Austin, who was born in 1752 at Yonkers, New York, died between 1792 and 1800 at Yonkers, New York. She died January 25, 1835 probably in or near New York City, and was buried in the Dyckman/Nagel Cemetery, Manhattan, New York. Source Codes #638 and #725. The Dutch girl's name "Aeltje" has no direct equivalent in English, but "Alice" is the most common translation. In Aeltje's case, it is clear that she was known by the sound-alike form Aleda or Eleda; her gravestone calls her Elida, and her grandson Isaac Vermilyea Austin named a daughter Elada. Thomas Austin is called "Thomas Austin, weaver," to distinguish him from his father, who is called "Thomas Austin, laborer. He died at Yonkers sometime between 1792 (their son Jacob M. was born 1793) and 1800, when his widow "Aulay" Austin appears as family head in that year's census; the listing (10000-01010) indicates that Aeltje was then living with only her son Jacob M. and her daughter, the older boys apparently boarding with other families. In the Yonkers tax lists for 1801 and 1802, she appears as "Alada" Austin, listed alongside her widowed mother Susannah (Meyer) Vermilyea. By 1807, Aeltje and her two youngest children had removed to New York City, where her older sons were already living. She appears in the New York City Directory for 1808 as "Alice Austin, widow," residing at Bowery, 2 mile stone; "William Austin, carpenter," Aeltje's son, is shown at the same address.
