LAMB & FRIER FAMILY TREE

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~lambs/ 

 

Dear Viewer,
Thank you for taking time from your busy
schedule to examine my Family Tree for:
LAMB & FRIER
Franklin Township, Huntingdon County,
Province of Quebec, Canada.
Feel free to send comments, corrections,
additions, and images to my E-Mail address at:


To see my connection to this family tree, start at Family Chart Page -Lamb / Johnson and keep following the top links. All links are on the Family Charts. Just "click" on the required names.

Note that all my work is copywrited. However, as long as no profit is gained, copies may be taken for personal use. To print Chart copies adjust your top, left, & right browser margins to 0.25" & the bottom browser margin to 0.494". Access to these settings is through "File" at the top of Internet Explorer. Then choose "Page Setup..." to display the appropriate page margin adjustment window.

In an attempt to not assist in any unscrupulous activities, I have tried to avoid putting any personal information on this web site concerning a living person or their spouse(s), other than data concerning their parents and the names of their children.

Sincerely,
Calvin G. Lamb, Lamb/Frier Descendant

The purpose of this web-site is, of course, to further the construction of my personal family tree through the sharing of information. However, this site it is hoped, will be of help to others in building their family tree. In so doing, this site will also expose the rich history of the counties of Huntingdon, Quebec and Clinton, New York as they were in their original size. The history of other counties and /or townships may be displayed if they relate to my ancestors.

It must be emphasized that my work in genealogy does not promote the revival of old family feuds!

As many details as possible of the family life of my ancestors does make genealogy so very interesting.

"SPECULATION"

Zephaniah & Jerusha were born in New Hampshire. After their marriage in 1811, they moved to Vermont by 1812. Jerusha died & was buried in Vermont.

In about 1815, it would appear that Zephaniah Grimshaw moved to Clinton, Oneida County to be near a relative, Joseph Grimshaw, who lived in Trenton Twp, Oneida Co. While there he met Roxie. Supported by Bev's search from the Clinton County GenForum - "John Nelson Grimshaw was born 1817, Clinton, Oneida, NY to Zephaniah Grimshaw & Roxie".

Unfortunately, I believe that the similarity in names - Village of Clinton, Clinton Township, & Clinton County - has caused some confusion. I no longer believe that Zeph ever went to Oneida County. I believe it was Mooers, Clinton County that he came to in 1815.

He met a woman by the name of Roxie at Mooers, Clinton County about 1815 shortly after his arrival. However, soon after, there were wife problems again with Roxie & she left Zeph or she died and was buried at Moores. Around 1820 he became romantically involved with his neightbour & brother-inlaw's wife, Asenath. He spirited Asenath (Noakes) away from her husband, James Hunter, when finally, he headed north to Canada in 1822 and settled in the Russeltown Corners area on the north edge of present day Havelock Township, Huntingdon County, Province of Quebec.

Tired of the low flat country of the Russeltown Area always flooding, Zeph moved again. This move was to his most lasting residence as he took possession of the east half of Lot 47 (47b) on the first concession of Hinchinbrooke Township, Huntingdon County, Quebec in time for the Canadian Census of 1825. Note that this farm was transferred to Franklin Township, Hinchinbrooke Region, when it was formed in 1857 from pieces of Hemmingford & Hinchinbrooke Townships along with part of Russeltown & Jamestown Regions of the Seigniory of Beauharnois. Presently the road past the property is known as Blackwood Road. From the CVHS Annual, 1982, "Sometime in the 1840's, it appears that the Craiks built a gristmill on the Mitchell Brook, a little north of the road, on the present Henry Wilson farm, just over the Hinchinbrooke line. It was overhauled to an overshot mill in 1862, but seems to have faded from the scene shortly afterwards, being replaced by more convenient and superior grist mills." That mill was just west of Zeph's farm on the opposite or north side of the road. His nearest post office was at Frontier, NY, just one farm east of the south edge of his farm. This post office served both Canadians & Americans. Apparently, Frontier, NY had both a tannery & a brewery. The brewery, no doubt, motivated Zeph to grow a large crop of hops. Zephaniah and Asenath together had 11 children but were not married at that time. Finally, Zephaniah and Asenath experienced a religious union in 1847 as shown by the marriage certificate below although it appears James Hunter, Asenath's first husband, was still alive.

Asenath became disillusioned with Zeph, possibly because of Mary, a woman, that was staying with them at the time. As a result, Asenath took Zephaniah Jr., Esther Mary & Harriet to Mount Forest, Egremont Township, Grey County, Ontario in 1855. Lonely Zeph met Ellen Sheahan but she died from consumption in 1860 at the tender age of 22 or 23. Adeline Covey was available at this same time and kept Zeph company while producing five children together. It appears that Zeph sold his farm in Hinchinbrooke Region, Franklin Township maybe upon hearing of Asenath's death in 1863 & the closing of the grist mill up & across the road. He moved with Adeline & their children to Clinton Township, Clinton County, N. Y. His last property was located at the north-west corner of Clinton Mills Road & Bull Run Road. A school was located right across the road on the north-east corner, making it easy for the young children to get to school. Unfortunately, a year before his death in 1872, it appears that Zeph & Adeline ran into great difficulties. Some if not all of their children were placed with other families. This was family break-up big time with the children separated from both parents simultaneously. Ten years later, Adeline met an early death. She was not even 48 years old.

Were James Hunter and Jerusha Hunter brother & sister? What relation was Joseph Grimshaw to Zeph? Who was Roxie? When & did Zeph marry her? When did Zeph meet Ellen Sheahan and who was she? When did they marry? Who was Mary and what happened to her? It is unknown where or if Zephaniah & Adeline were married. Maybe they just lived common law. Where are the graves of Zeph, James, Jerusha, Roxie, & Adeline? If you had one child named Elizabeth, why would you name another child by the same name 8 years later, especially if the first Elizabeth was still alive? What is the story on Adeline's first husband, Mr. Spearman? Is Ellen Sheahan & Ann the same person? The Hunter Family shown on the family chart is very speculative!

BIRTHS: At this time there is no official documentation to show where Zephaniah, Jerusha, Asenath, James, Mr. Spearman, Roxie, Mary, Ellen or Adeline were born.

Note: The 1851 Census appears to show the William Brooks Family & Joseph & Deborah Longeway were living on Covey Hill Road in Franklin Township, Hemmingford Region quite close to the farm on which I grew up on - 2182 Covey Hill Road. This would be relatively close to the Clinton Mills Sideroad & of course Clinton Mills.

1881 DEATH

Death of Adaline Covey.

Quotes from the Chateaugay Valley Historical Society annual JOURNAL, Vol. 19, 1986 (ISSN 0319-1249):

Page 9:  "In 1822 Keyes and Hotchkiss got my father to clear half an acre where the store now is on the Flats and where they did business.  My father left and went to Ohio where he and two brothers died of fever.  My brother Thomas and I were hired to clear a spot for a shanty put up by Grimshaw on the lot where the Havelock Fair Grounds stands."

Page 10:   " The first store opposite the Russeltown church at the Flats was by Keyes and Hotchkiss who started about 1819.  Keys was drowned off a raft in Lake St. Peter.  John Forbes got the store about 1827.  He was a bad, drunken man, a native of Connecticut.  His wife was also American.  There was a large settlement of Americans on the Flats: Grimshaws, Allens, Huntingtons and others who moved west afterwards."

Unknown where Jerusha died or was buried. It is unknown where Adaline died or was buried.
