--part1_0.f90a839b.25a126dd_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have decided to forward this post that I posted to several mailing lists to which I subscribe with additional information listed here. My Great-Grandfather, James KELLY, eventually moved to KENT COUNTY from GRENVILLE COUNTY, Ontario. In the Archiva Net Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario, I found him on the 1871 Census of Ontario living in Kent County as follows: "Age 33; Birthplace: ONTARIO; Religion: Methodist; Origin: IRISH; Occupation: FARMER; District: KENT (002); Sub-District: Harwich (D); Division: 2; Page: 8; Microfilm reel: C-9891; Reference: RG31 -- Statistics Canada!" This means he migrated from Grenville County, Oxford-on-Rideau Township, Ontario [Where he is on the 1861 Oxford-on-Rideau Township Leebee Census living with his father Thomas Kelly at the age of 23] sometime between 1861 & 1871 [A 10 year period]. The "Kent County, Ontario Marriage Registers 1857-1859; Volume One (1)" lists: "James KELLY, age 22 of Harwich, born Canada, s/o Thomas & Hannah, Married 04, May 1862, Rebecca TOMPKINS, age 21, of Harwich, born Canada, d/o Nathan & Rebecca.

Both Nathan & Rebecca TOMPKINS are buried in Lot # 346 of Evergreen Cemetery, located in Blenheim, Harwich Township, Kent County, Ontario, Canada. Nathan TOMPKINS was the son of the aforementioned Israel TOMPKINS (born 1767, N.Y.-died-?) & at sometime (unknown) relocated from Augusta or Wolford Township in Grenville County to Kent County. Nathan TOMPKINS is found listed in the Archiva Net Index to the 1871 Census of Ontario as follows: "TOMPKINS, NATHAN; Sex: Male; Age: 75; Birthplace: ONTARIO; Religion: Wesleyan Methodist; Origin: ENGLISH; Occupation: FARMER; District: KENT (002); Sub-district: Harwich (D); Division: 3; Page: 72; Microfilm reel: C-9891; Reference: RG31 --- Statistics Canada.

From a list of Veterans of the War of 1812 who gathered to receive their pensions from "Veterans of 1812" on Page # 4: V. 12--5: At Chatham, the following veterans answered to their names:---Nathan Tompkins --- Am 79; was in Captain Burritt's Company as a private; Col.

His wife Hannah BROWN KELLY died at 78 years of age on March 15, [Year Unknown] & is also buried in the same cemetery as Thomas KELLY.
