Catherine also is my gggrandmother and they lived in Glengarry, Pictou County- which is not far from Lansdowne- probably interchanged often. Catherine and Henry's daughter, Mary Ann was my great grandmother- she married Henry Russell who died young- and then remarried Andrew Mac Pherson. My grandmother was Ethel Russell- mother Mabel Fraser- and I was Diane Johnson.

Good morning All. This morning I have been advised by the family of Muriel M. Davidson, my Co-chair of the Canada Census Committee, that her medical situation has deteriorated to the point where she is not expected to recover. While undergoing surgery to remove gallstones they discovered cancer surrounding the gallbladder and extending to the liver and abdominal wall. Muriels kidneys have shut down and she may only have hours left to her. Her family is gathering at her bedside as I write this message. At this time I am certain that many of you will wish to include Muriel and her family in your thoughts and prayers, as they are in mine. I will keep you posted regarding any change in Muriels situation. Gordon A.

Hello fellow listers, My apologies to those on more than one list receiving duplicates of this message. Our research centre/archives here in Bathurst is badly in need of funding and we are asking you all to please submit any ideas that have worked for you. Selling raffle tickets on items just doesn't seem to work too well in this area so we need some project/s that could catch the public's interest and result in significant monies to allow us to purchase much-needed equipment.

I am wondering if Donald Ross of Oak Point North Co NB d. 1830 in Oak Point m. Euphroszine (who received the Old Soldier's Pension until her death in 1871), is the same Donald Ross (Loyalist) who received a grant of land in St. Mary's York Co. Ellen Astle

Author: thomasamurray1 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.canada.newbrunswick.northumberland/192.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The 1851 census of Nelson Parish, Northumberland Co., NB also has a household: Wilson John M Husband 60 Scotch Ferryman 1817 Wilson Euphemia F Wife 60 Scotch 1817 Wilson Jane F Daughter 29 Scotch Mantrea? Maker Born Col Wilson Mary F Daughter 27 Scotch Mantrea? Maker Born Col Wilson Wm M Son 22 Scotch Lumberer Born Col Wilson Elizabeth F Daughter 20 Scotch Born Col Wilson Jesse F Daughter 18 Scotch Born Col Wilson James M Son 15 Scotch Born Col Young Marg t F Daughter 32 Scotch Born Col Young Mary I. F Granddaughter 12 Scotch Born Col McEachran Ronald M Lodger 50 Scotch Labourer 1820 Armstrong John M Servant 19 Scotch Ferryman 1845 King John M Lodger 25 Irish Shoemaker Born Col The scarcity of the name, King, in Nelson Parish in 1851 suggests that John King may have been Philip's brother; and, therefore, that John and Euphemia Wilson may have been Ellen's parents. The difficulty is, however, that Ellen arrived in NB in 1841 while John and Euphemia arrived in 1817. The only other King's in the parish at the time were: King Philip M Head 28 Irish Shipwright Born Col Ord Health King Ellen F Wife 26 Irish 1841 Ord Health King Francis M Son 5 Irish Born Col Ord Health King Thomas M Son 4 weeks Irish Born Col Ord Health so a connection seems worth investigating. While there appears to have been a fair number of King's amongst the Loyalists in 1783 (possibly of the Salem, MA family), what seems to be of interest is a grant made in Buctouche (in what was then Northumberland Co., but now, I believe, in Kent Co.) to numerous persons, including Benjamin (98 acres), Francis (118 acres) and Vancislos (128 acres) King. These appear to have been brothers. Most of the other grantees were Acadian; and these three King's may have been as well. It was not unusual for Irish immigrants to marry Acadiennes, and some Irish names in NB are often assumed to be Acadian. 'Vancilos' King may be the 'Francilos' King who was granted land in Newcastle Parish, Northumberland Co., NB (500 acres) 15FEB1810. Other grantees were Israel (500) and Michael (500) King. Again, the other grantees were Acadian. Francis King was granted 200 acres 8AUG1815 in Wellington Parish, Northumberland (again, now Kent?) Co., NB. Francis King, Jr. was given 200 acres in Wellington Parish 17DEC1824. This may have been the same Francis granted 75 in Chatham Parish, Northumberland Co., NB 20JUN1840. John King (possibly the John in 1851) was granted 50 acres in Chatham Parish, Northumberland Co., NB 3OCT1846. In later years, King's are found in Wellington Parish, Kent Co., NB (including a L'aimable/L'amable King; again suggesting the Acadian connection); in Restigouche Co. (including a Francis King) and other locations in Northumberland Co. These appear to suggest that there was a King family in the Northumberland Co. area; without have to look too closely (yet) at King! families in other areas. Grants were made to King's in Northumberland Co. as late as 1964. Looking at petitions, solely in Northumberland Co., the earliest was John King 1788; suggesting a member of the loyalist families seeking land northwards. More significant is Francis King (1820), Philip King (1849) and Edward King (1859.) In each case, the petitioner was alone suggesting someone fairly recently married seeking land for a growing family. Checking the directories for Northumberland Co., in 1865 there were: King, Edward Water St. Newcastle Northumberland Laborer King, Joseph Backwoods road Chatham Northumberland Farmer King, Mathias Backwoods road Chatham Northumberland Farmer King, Mrs Elizabeth Cunard n Church Chatham Northumberland In 1867: King, Edward Water Newcastle Northumberland laborer King, Elizabeth Mrs. Cunard n Church Chatham Northumberland King, Joseph Backwoods Road Chatham Northumberland farmer King, Mathias Backwoods Road Chatham Northumberland farmer King, Philip - Douglastown Northumberland labourer King, Thomas - Douglastown Northumberland shoemaker In 1871 there were: King, Joseph - Douglassfield Chatham Northumberland Farmer King, Mathius - Douglassfield Chatham Northumberland Farmer King, Philip - Rosebank Newcastle Northumberland Farmer In Chatham Parish, in 1851, there were two households close together, presumably neighbours. King Thomas M Head 48 Irish Farmer (prop) 1822 King Ann F Wife 30 Irish 1847 Brackin Michl M Step son 12 Irish 1847 Brackin Sylvester M Step son 8 Irish 1847 King Francis M Head 60 Irish Farmer (prop) 1820 King Joseph M Son 30 Farmer Birth King Mathias M Son 17 Farmer Birth Speculation suggests that Thomas and Francis were brothers, Thomas had m. a widow and Francis may be the Francis, Jr. That one arrived 1822 and the other arrived 1820 does not mean they did not arrive together; only that they have different recollections of when. It is not unusual for the same members of a family (which obviously arrived together) to give different immigration dates. The best that can be said is that both arrived ca. 1821; give or take. What is particularly notable is that this King family is NOT a Loyalist family. An intriguing entry in the 1851 census of Chatham Parish is: King Philip M Head 27 Irish Ship Wright Birth King Ellen F Wife 27 Irish 1841 King Francis M Son 4 Birth King Thomas M Son 1/12 Birth Obviously the same family as in Nelson Parish, with slight variations. Thomas, in Nelson, is given as age 4 weeks, and in Chatham as age 1 month. This suggests that both returns were taken at almost the same time. In Nelson, Philip is age 28 and Ellen is age 26; while her both are age 27; suggesting different (but knowledgeable) informants. the conclusion is that they had residences in both parishes; and it is not all that unusual for persons to be twice enumerated (or not at all, for that matter.) Another factor is that Philip seems to be connected to the King family in the above land grants and petitions. In 1881, in Newcastle Parish, Northumberland Co., NB, is what appears to have been another Philip King, b. Ireland ca. 1811, and his wife, 'Letilia', b. Ireland ca. 1831. A son is Francis (b. ca. 1850.) In fact, Francis appears to have been a popular name and in the NB census of 1881, and the US census of 1880, there a numerous Francis Kings. Many in the US are from Canada, and some from NB. There is even, in 1881, a Francis King b. NB ca. 1835 in Lancashire. England. I suspect that sorting out Francis King's may be an ordeal. The senior Francis, probably progenitor of this family, was b. Co. Cavan, Ireland ca. 1794, and d. Douglasfield Settlement, Northumberland Co., NB 11OCT1861 age 67 years. This would also appear to be the Francis b. ca. 1791 in 1851. It is also possible that the Mrs. Elizabeth King in Chatham in 1865 and 1867 was his wife. It is very likely that the elder Francis was Philip's father. PHILIP KING b. NB ca. 1823-4, m. ELLEN WILSON (b. ca. 1824-5.) children: 1. FRANCIS KING b. ca. 1846 2. THOMAS KING b. 1851 3.

(Note: the 1901 census was often off by a year or more.) His parents were Thomas (b. 28FEB1851) and Mary A. (b. 20MAR1854) Murphy. Siblings were: Daniel (17OCT1875), Agnes (17NOV1879), Margaret (19OCT1881), Thomas (19APR1883), Amelia (17FEB1885), Caroline (5JUL1887) and Laura (2JUN1889.) There was a Thomas Murphy, m. at the residence of Mr. Marsh Chatham, Northumberland Co., NB by the Rev. William Wilson 12AUG1873 Mary Ann Barnard (Bernard), 2nd d/o Johnstone Bernard of Chatham; and had a daughter, Irene Murphy b. Chatham Parish, Northumberland Co., NB 2JUN1889. This appears to have been the Laura in 1901, or a twin who d. before 1901. Johnstone Bernard is also given as Johnson or Johnston Bernard. He was a ship carpenter in the 1881 census of Chatham Parish, b. PEI ca. 1819. His wife, 'Emela' was b. PEI ca. 1822. Amongst there family was Mary Ann Bernard b. ca. 1873. The IGI gives him as b. Chatham Parish 19OCT1828, to have m. Amelia Coughlan in 1838, and to have been the s/o William and Maria (Beairsto) Bernard; which gives some idea of how garbled the IGI can be. Actually, Johnston was b. New London, PEI 23DEC1816, and bpt. 27JUL1817, the s/o William and Maria (Bearsto) Bernard. In Chatham Parish in 1881, Thomas 'Murphey' was also b. PEI ca. 1857. Mary was b. NB ca. 1857 and children were: Ellen (ca. 1875), Daniel (ca. 1876), John (ca. 1878) and Agnes (ca. 1880.) Thomas Murphy's in PEI include: Thomas Murphy b. 7FEB1851, bpt. St. Simon and St. Jude R. C.
