Hi Paul: After posting my last message to you I noticed something which really has be wondering in light of my saying that Cornelia was probably linked to my John NEVILL s/o Moses. It may be a coincidence that he had land there and she was living there, unless he sold his land to a Nevills relative. This needs to be investigated to see if it is the same land. John's was SE 1/2 of lot 15 in the 3rd. Concession Caradoc Twp. Issued as a Free Military Grant on Nov. 26, 1822. What I found was on pg. 38 of an article entitled The Davis Family which was written by Jim Stengel for The Long Point Settlers Journal, Vol. 3 Number 1, January, 1996. In it he states: "Pamelia Davis, born April 31, 1813, died 10 Jan. 1913. She married William Pew Nevills, born 8 Feb. 1809, died Nov. 19, 1849. She lived at Binbrook and Mount Bryges. 6 children: Margaret Ann; Louisa Elizabeth m John A.****Skedgell;***** Maria; William Alexander m. Esther Swayze; Thomas; Helen; John Davis m. Ellen Swayze." Did Pamelia really live to be in her 100th year? So it looks like this answers the question you posed: "who were the young wards of Cornelia, the Schedgell children? The bigger question now is who was Cornelia and better still who was her husband? Incidently, I read the entry in the 1871 census entry for those living with Cornelia as Skedgell, [possibly] Agness age 32 and Helen age 2. Also living there was James Nevills age 22 and John Henry the hired hand. Paddy
