----- Original Message ----- From: ROBERT TELFORD To: Jim Telford ; Darlene Bochert Cc: TELFORD Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 11:56 AM Subject: TELFORD/ QUAIL (QUEALE) Clarendon Cty Quebec Dear Darlene and Jim, Both of you have enquired of the ancestry and family of this couple. Frankly, little is known. I began tracking when I learned that my 2ggf, b 1800, began his family in Quebec. Later I found my James TELFORD was b in Cumberland, England, descended from the Bewcastle TELFORDs, and served in the British Army at Quebec City. He married Mary Ann NUGENT, b 1804, Ireland. Susan QUAIL, w/o James TRELFORD, died 04 Oct 1870 at age 66. She was a native of County Leitrim. She was buried at Shawville Village Cemetery, grave 754. George, s/o Susan and James died 01 Feb 1873, age 44--buried grave 755 Frances [TRELFORD] HORNER died 22 Sept 1901 , age 67- buried grave 757 FRANCES is BELIEVED SUSAN's sister? ( Frances QUEALE also Wm Wallace's mom) Frances was b Ireland ( Leitrim?) [ 1806-1883], m Matthew, father of William. Ralph HORNER died 13 Oct 1873, age 49; their son, Thomas WALKER(?) died 29 June 1871, at age 5 mos. Also buried in grave 757. James HORNER s/o Ralph and Frances died 21 Jan 1881 at age 28.--buried grave 756 James TELFORD [TRELFORD], his supposed son James, and young James' wife are not buried in SVC. Susan TELFORD, James' youngest dtr, b 02 Dec 1846, d 16 Nov 1923 is buried in St John's Anglican Moorehead, Pontiac, TELFORD RD with her husband William WALLACE. Many WALLACEs and QUEALEs here. James TELFORD emigrated about 1844 to Pontiac County. All children except Susan were b IRL. The records for young James are sketchy. After Jane TRELFORD died [ NO RECORDED RELATION WITH THE KENNEDYs!!!!], George and his family left Cty Cavan. George died in 1844 and James and Robin McDOWELL ( husband of Mary TELFORD) were the witnesses. This would lead one to believe that James was a close relative---perhaps a son of George-- but I have not seen any Cavan Census or Parish Records. In the 1851 Pontiac Census, James is listed as a farmer and storekeeper, b abt 1801. He has a wife, Susan ( age 40), 4 sons ( no James), and a dtr Susan. Further in the Census, James TULFORD? (TELFORD) age 36, a laborer is shown living on farm Range 6, lot 22. James Sr, we believe, purchased: R 6/ Lot 22- 200 acres- 1851; R6 / Lot 27 - 200 acres- 1851. He purchased additional land in 1859 and 1868. On 23 July 1885, young James married Margaret Corrigan. Their 1st child JAMES was b31 July 1860. They had a good size family. On 01 Feb 1873, Susan Quail passed away. On 22 Feb 1878, Register # 456 Parish of Clarendon. James TELFORD, widower of Susan was buried. ( where ?) Present were Wm Wallace, husband of Susan TELFORD WALLACE and Thomas TUBMAN, husband of Lillian TELFORD, dtr of George TELFORD, 1st son of George of Kilmore. I am surprised that no mention is made of son James---if he is the son!!! CHECK the PARISH RECORDS! The patriarch of the family was George ( c1745-1833). His younger brother was William ( c1761-c1826) They and several sons are buried at Ballymachugh. George and William supposedly emigrated from Kelso Scotland. Their father was John TELFORD. Hope this is of some help. Robert Telford
