Subject: [UPP-CAN] CORNWALL, Essex County, 1806
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 19:01:31 -0400
I'm seeking some definitive evidence that Mary CORNWALL, wife of Francis RICHARDSON (m.c. 1823, Essex County) is indeed the daughter of Wheeler CORNWALL (son of John CORNWALL, U.E., and Mary BENEDICT) and Sylvia Unknown.

Wheeler CORNWALL had a daughter, Mary, born 22 SEP 1806, Essex County, Upper Canada, christened 1 MAY 1808, St. John Anglican Church, Sandwich, Essex County. Following his death in 1816, she inherited Lot 94, Concession 1, Colchester Township, Essex County.

...

My best clue to date that Wheeler's daughter Mary was Francis's wife:

Mary's paternal grandmother, Mary BENEDICT CORNWALL, sold 100 acres in Lot 2, Concession 2, Colchester Township, to Francis RICHARDSON for the paltry sum of 5 shillings (according to the township's Abstract Index) in 1833.

The grandmother, Mary BENEDICT CORNWALL, then wrote a will 7 days later, leaving land to all of her grandchildren - excluding Wheeler's daughter, Mary CORNWALL. The property for those grandchildren surrounded the land she had just sold to Francis RICHARDSON.

I assume that families tried to keep large tracts of land intact. Would a potentially savvy old woman (she'd been granted land herself as the wife of a U.E., and inherited his when her husband died) sell 100 acres in the midst of her hundreds of acres to someone who wasn't family? (She lived another 4 years after the will was written and died at age 87.)

If it helps any, Mary CORNWALL and Francis RICHARDSON had 10 children:

1) John Wheeler, b. 1823, d. 1902, m. Deborah LYPPS
2) Sarah Ann, b. 1824, d. 1913, m. Alexander LARAMIE (my line)
3) Mary Jane, b. 1826, d. 1905-1910, m. George BEETHAM [aka BEATHAM]
4) William James, b. 1828, d. 1890, m. Sara SMITH
5) Lucinda, b. 1829, d. 1918, m. Edward ATKINS
6) Francis Gore, b. 1830, d. 1916, m. Jemima BALDWIN
7) George Cornwall, b. 1833, d. 1910, m. Alvira Maria LYPPS
8) Julia Ann, b. 1834, d. 1887, m. Alexander QUICK
9) Melissa, b.c. 1837, d. bef 1902, m1. Henry BUTLER, m2. Oren GRIFFIN
10) Charles Wheeler, b. 1842, d. 1916, m. Alzora PULFORD
