That Elizabeth is John and Polly's daughter is pure speculation.

John Stockwell, who died at Union on the 13th of August, at the age of 85 years, was one of the prominent men in the war of 1812. After the taking of Amherstburg, a reward of $500 was offered by the American government, for his capture. It appears he was supposed to have decoyed a party of Americans down along the shores of Lake Erie to Sturgeon Creek, where they were killed by the Indians. He also succeeded in getting a number of horses from the Yankees. The deceased enjoyed a pension from the Canadian Government for his services to the crown.

John Stockwell was first located in Malden township, but he subsequently removed to Gosfield, where he spent his remaining years, following the occupation of farmer. As a soldier he participated in the War of 1812 and in the Rebellion on 1837-38. Mr. Stockwell was twice married. He wedded (first) Polly Botsford, and of this union there is yet living one daughter, Eliza.
