Notes for Jeremiah 1
Death record {Source; York Co. NB 16 Nov 1893 Age 73 cause of death “Old Age” Place of birth Ireland Dr Wiley attending Physician W.F Chapman Priest: Buried at Parish of Woodstock NB }
Land application shows Jeremiah has been in Canada from early 1800’s Jeremiah first applied for his land.
It reads: Labour Act John Davidson a Commissioner under Chapter 9 Volume 1 of the revised statures, do hereby certify that Jeremiah Connolly is at present residing {and had continued for the last twelve months} upon the Lot of Land approved to him in the County of York and described as follows :-Lot number 17 south side of Allandale Rd.

Signed by John Davidson Commissioner and sworn before him as one of Her Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for the County of York this 22nd day of December 1866.

Davenport-Devenport-Danford-Danforth
Looking for the grandparents of Burtis Elmer Davenport born May 31, 1892 in Summerfield, Carleton Co. to Wallace Howard Davenport and Jane Green and passed away Oct. 20, 1962.
In all paperwork that I have found, Wallace claims that his parents were Timothy Davenport and Margaret Donovan. Wallace has listed the name as Davenport, Devenport and Danforth, but on the marriage record to Jane Green, daughter of George and Jane Green, it lists Davenport and this is what his children and first wife went by. He also has listed Bath, California Settlement and Limestone as his birth place---maybe ?.
He walked out on Jane leaving 3 children, Burtis Elmer, Viola Maud and Judson Gilbert whom all came to Mars Hill, Maine area and lived with Ashel and Hannah Bell Green until they married. When Wallace died he was married to Alma Marshall of Westfield, Maine and they had children, so maybe the name change for leaving one wife with little ones to move on with another--just a thought. Also the 2nd wife told her children that Davenport was an Indian name and she didn't want that. I cannot find Wallace listed anywhere with the Timothy Davenport family, but have heard rumors that there was another child but no one remembers the name or what happened to it-can anyone shed any light on my greatgrandfathers family-please.

One of their sons was Charles Leonard Jackson - who left home because of an abusive father and setted in Linneus, Maine for a time and then finally moved to Greenville, Maine. He was my great grandfather. We would appreciate any information on William, John or Alexander Jackson and any of their wives.

Pipe Organ / Baptist Church/ Woodstock
April 2001
A question not strickly related to geneaology, but it is history related. I'm looking for information relating to a pipe organ that was believed to have been in the Woodstock Baptist Church, Woodstock, NB, most likely in the early part of the 20th century. It was probably taken out of service and put in storage sometime in early 1950's.
I have recently acquired most of this organ and plan on restoring a good part of it to playing condition. Any information on it's origins, installation, active use, photos, etc would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Since my last note have started cleaning work on organ
and pipechests. Now think that organ was last repaired / updated around 1964 and placed in storage approx early '70s. I have also discovered that original parts of organ were made by F.A. Peters, Organbuilder, St. John NB in 1893. Apparently he ran an organ building firm there from approx 1883 { with Paine }. Any information on F.A. Peters, Paine / Peter Organ greatly appreciated.

MARR
Who was the wife of Alexander Marr, Smiths Creek, Kings Co., New Brunswick 1795 and where is she buried? One account says Esther Job (Jobe/Jobes) Deed (Dee/Dees). I'd estimate her dates to be 1765-1850. In old age she may have joined family in another county, having been interred there. There is record of an Esther Marr receiving a Revolutionar War soldier widow's pension, Kings Co. 1841-1842, no further information. Alexander, a veteran of the 42nd. Highland Regiment, died at Smiths Creek 1829. Any clue, however remote, appreciated.
I've been unsuccessful in obtaining any information on the Carleton-Kings Co. Marr connection. Buried at the Lower Knoxville cemetery; Harry Marr 1890-1963, his wife, Harriette 1888-1964, their son, Roy Edward 1916-1935

Good
Leota's ancestry begins in Balmerino, Fife, Scotland where Thomas
Guid (the next generation changed the spelling to Good) was thought to be
born in 1610. Through the next four generations the Goods named their first
son James - probably out of loyalty to the successive King James of
Scotland. The family descent line went like this: #1. Thomas b. 1610 -- #2.
James b. 1633 and sibling Andro b.1640 -- #3. James b. 1666 -- #4. James b.
1710 -- then #5. James b. 1741 and sibling David Good c. 23 Apr 1749. David
Good was the fourth child of James and Barbara (Berry) Good of the Parish
of Balmerino, Fife.
David Good emigrated to America and was thought to have lived in Virginia
for a time. He is identified in New York during 1891 with wife Jane where
they baptized infant daughter Elizabeth at Trinity Church Parish. At this
time he was a member of the 2nd Battalion New Jersey Volunteers and arrived
the Saint John River with the First Fleet in 1783.
He first settled at Burton NB where he received his first Land Grant. During the next 16 years
David and Jane produced eight more children. James b. 1783, David Jr., b.
1785, William b. 1788, Jane (Jean) b. 1790, Jonas (John) b. 1792, Francis
b. 1794, Catherine b. 1796 (She married Abraham Long the Loyalist) and
Solomon b. 2 Jul 1799. It is thought that most of these children were born
at Burton with possibly the exception of Solomon. David removed to
Kingsclear where he received a second Land Grant in 1799. Data exist to
confirm that Elizabeth, David Jr., Jane and Solomon were David and Janes
children. Data on William is very sketchy, Jonas was a witness to sister
Catherine's marriage to Abraham Long, and James the oldest son. Several
indentures identify David and son James conducting land dealings but none
confirm the relationship.
I can provide much more data on the family and have published a GOOD 1610 - 1997 Family History.
I am currently trying to get my wife Leota Good her U.E. Certificate and could use some help.
Is there anyone who can confirm that the James Good who initiated the Good Corner Settlement in 1837, where he died on 27 May 1868, was David Good's son. David and Jane Good were the only Goods capable of producing the above children in the period from 1783
to 1799 but that is not acceptable proof for the U.E. sleuths. I cannot find that elusive reference that states 'James Good was the son of David Good, the loyalist. Can you help me in any way? Russ Janzen E MAIL / [email protected]

I am searching for information about the parents of my great-grandmother, Agnes Fletcher Bedell. Her parents names that were listed on both her marriage license and her death certificates were Daniel Fletcher and Elizabeth Ingraham. On the 1900 New York State Census it lists my great-grandmothers parents Country of Birth as England. However, Agnes was born in Woodstock, New Brunswick , Canada on 15 October 1869. I have no idea when her parents left England and moved to Canada. Although I knew my great-grandmother very well, she never discussed her family except to say that many of them died during a diptheria epidemic when she was a little girl and that her twin sister was one of the victims. I would appreciate any advice or information you could share with me regarding research in your area.

I have compiled a history of my wife's Good family from 1610 to 1997,
Her earliest ancestor was a Thomas Guid (Good) b. ca 1610 near Dundee Scotland.
Thomas Good's ggg grandson was David Good who was christened
23 Apr 1749, at Ferry Port on Craig, Fifeshire, Scotland.
David arrived via the Revolutionary War as a Loyalist at Saint John NB with the First Fleet in 1783.
He first settled at Burton and in 1799 received a land grant of 140 acres at Kingsclear.
His sons James, Francis and Solomon initiated the Good Corner Settlement in 1837.
My wife's great grandfather was John Good the eldest son of James Good

Hawkins
I have been researching the Hawkins family, descendants of Michael Hawkins (ca. 1750-1845), the Loyalist of New Jersey who settled in Keswick [then St. Mary's], York County, New Brunswick. The manuscript is now 650+ pages and am trying to put the finishing touches on it for printing this summer. One Hawkins family which has confounded me is Abraham [Abram] Hawkins, b. 1806, married Frances Burtt, and lived in Kingsclear, then Keswick, and finally in or around Wilmot, Carleton County, where he died in the 1880's. He fits well into the family of John Michael and Nancy (Todd) Hawkins yet every list of their children does not list him as the eldest son. His wife was a sister to Rebecca Burtt who married James Hawkins, a son of John Michael and Nancy and my great-great-great grandfather. Abraham had a son Somerville who I think owned a tavern or small hotel in the Wilmot area.
