Hi everyone.
As a point of clarification, the graveyard which I visited is in Burlington,
Halton Township, Ontario. The place was known as Nelson, Halton Township
when Abigail first settled there. At this point, I know she applied for a
UEL land grant and received one. The UEL Library in Toronto has not been
able to find the grant although it should have been on file according to
their records. The search is still on for that one. It is grant 533.
Kindest regards,
Anne

Subject: Grave of Abigail (nee LAND) BURNEY McCARTER UEL
Hi everyone,
Yesterday was a very fruitful trip to a local cemetery. I visited the
Burlington Free Methodist Church on Dundas Highway at HWY 403. It is on the
south side of Dundas and just east of the Hwy. 403 overpass in Burlington
Ontario. This congregation was originally formed in 1822 as St. Paul's
Presbyterian Church and the red brick Church was built in 1867. A newer
Church building for the current St. Paul's Presbyterian congregation is just
a few hundred yards east of this building.
The churchyard contains many old graves and I was lucky enough to find
Abigail's headstone, thanks to information from cousin George Chisholm. The
test on her stone states:
Sacred
to the memory
of
ABIGAIL McCARTER
Born
March the 27th 1760
and departed this life
November 25th 1826
Aged 66 years
and eight months
Abigail was the oldest daughter of Robert LAND UEL and Phoebe Scott. She
was born in New York on March 27th 1760 most probably in Goshen N.Y.
Although she first married a man named William BURNEY I have no idea when or
where that marriage occurred. William is pretty elusive as I have been
unable to find any information about him. He appears to have been a Captain
with the British during the American Revolution.
They had at least three children that I know of:
1. Joseph BURNEY born in NY who later also settled in Nelson Twp. Halton
Co., Ontario ( as per 1851 and 1861 census records). He was a Captain with
Sir Isaac Brock's army during the War of 1812, working closely with his
Uncle , Col. Robert LAND, his mother's brother. Joseph is reputed to have
been the person to take Sir Isaac Brock from his horse when he was fatally
wounded in battle.
2. John Land BURNEY of whom I have no other information
3. Rebecca BURNEY born March 9, 1781 in NY and baptized Rebekah on July 29,
1781 at Trinity Church, New York. Her sponsors were her parents and her
grandmother, Phoebe Land ( misspelled LOND on the transcript).
There may have been another daughter, but I do not have any more
information.
Then, during the Revolution, William BURNEY died and Abigail left New York
for New Brunswick with her mother and brothers and her own children in the
Spring of 1783. I cannot find a record of her next marriage, but she took a
second husband, Isaiah McCarter, most probably in NB after the end of the
Rev. War. They moved from St. John to the Saint John River Valley. In Dec.
1800, her daughter Rebecca, my 3rd great-grandmother, then living in
Wickham, Queens Co. NB married Jabez Clark who was born in Rhode Island Mar.
19, 1769, came to Canada in 1783 ( most probably Newport Landing NS with
his father Elisha) and then moved to the Saint John River Valley, settling
at Hampstead, Queens Co, across the river from Wickham.
Phoebe LAND and her two eldest sons left New Brunswick for Ontario about
1792, as they had word that a man named LAND was living near Niagara. The
story of their reunion has been written about several times. It appears
that Abigail may have stayed behind for a while.
Two of Abigail's McCarter children who are buried near her at the Free
Methodist cemetery are:
1. Mary who married Dr. Daniel BLACK. They stayed in NB until Daniel's
death by drowning in 1824. She then came to Ontario and settled near her
mother, Abigail, in Halton Twp. Mary then married a George CALVERT Sr. as
her headstone in the free Methodist Cemetery indicates:
Mary BLACK
wife of
George CALVERT Sr.
born in New Brunswick
d. 16 March 1886 ( as best as I could make out)
2. Eliza(beth) who married George CHISHOLM Esquire ( date and place
unknown). Eliza's tombstone reads:
ELIZA McCARTER
wife of
George Chisholm Esquire
Born in New Brunswick
Oct. 15 1796
died Apr. 30 1851
3. A third daughter , Rebecca, is buried in White Church Cemetery in Mount
Hope Cemetery in Glanford Twp. She died abt. 1854.
If any of you have any more information to add to this material, I would
appreciate hearing from you.
Kindest regards,
Anne

I am at a total impasse, and don't have any idea how to proceed - or rather
recede - I guess.
I have an ancestor, Benjamin CLARK, about whom I have a great deal of
information, but not his birth date, nor who were his parents.
He died in Bradford on 20th September 1892, apparantly then "the very oldest
wool merchant in the town".
From census returns I know that he was born in Leeds in 1810.
From his obituary I know that he "was brought, as a child, from Leeds by his
parents about eighty one years ago"
From his obituary I also learn that he was apprenticed to Messrs. Hustler
and Seebhom
He named his first five children William, James, Henry, Edward and Albert.
Hopefully someone may have some ideas about where I could go from here.

Josiah Clark came to Carter Co. TN in 1790. He bought land on Gap Creek and ran a black powder mill. He had at least two sons, James and Thomas. Thomas left Carter Co in 1830's to move to Monroe Co. Tn in the area of Philadelphia. Upon his death a long and bitter fight over his land and other holdings lasted for many years. I am interested in Josiah and possible information on his parents and brothers and sisters. I have information that 3 brother came to the area about the same time, maybe a Benjamin and a Nathaniel. Any information would be appreciated.

Hello,
I'd like to repost my interest in a James CLARK/E who was born anywhere
around 1790 to 1800 .. "somewhere."
He is one of my two "solidly built, concrete-block walls" on the same branch
of my family tree. A brief summary is that James "appears" in Little
Compton, RI, in the 1820's, marries in nearby Westport, MA, in 1829, has a
daughter there in 1836, and "disappears" in the 1840's !
A better explanation is that, when he married in 1829 in Westport, he stated
he was previously from Little Compton. He married a recent widow who had
3 children, Mrs. Rhoda (MANCHESTER) LAVARE. They had a daughter, Mary
Anna "Molly" CLARK, in 1836. James is not in the household with his
wife, daughter, and step-children in the 1850 Census.
The natural "assumption" is that he had died during the 1840's. But, a
"distant cousin" found out that a James CLARK had gotten on a ship in New
Bedford in 1844, heading for the Indian Ocean. This James "deserted ship"
in Australia !
...... While reviewing the notes on my grandmother's story, I was reminded
that, when she married, she reported her birth-father as being... William
CLARK ! And, I have "no clue" who this person is !
My "gut feeling" is that James and William CLARK/E were members of a CLARK
family in CT, RI, or MA. I have a "suspicion" that Mrs. Mary (CLARK)
DEXTER was in touch with CLARK family members after she married.
Betty (near Lowell, MA)
FYI: For newcomers to the List, my grandmother's "story" is a very long
one, and I've posted it on the Lists before. A quick summary is that:
In the 1850's in Stonington, CT, Mary "Molly" CLARK of Westport, MA, married
John DEXTER of Killingly, CT, and they lived in Killingly. They had 3
daughters, but only one lived to adulthood. Mrs. Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG
of Killingly was married with a 6-year-old son, Earle YOUNG, when her
parents "strangely" left Killingly to move to Boston.
Coincidentally, "someone" got pregnant with my grandmother - around the same
time ("summer of 1888"). In 1892, John and Molly DEXTER, while in their
late 50's, formally adopted a baby girl, then 3, and they renamed her ..
Mary Anna Clark DEXTER. My "educated guess" is that Mrs. Clara YOUNG,
back in Killingly, had an "unwanted pregnancy" which did not involve her
husband. And, in order to keep a "small town scandal" down to a low roar,
the baby girl was brought to Boston, and the DEXTER's moved there to have
the baby live with them.
Unfortunately, Mrs. DEXTER died in 1899, and Mary "Mamie" DEXTER (aka Mary
"Mamie" CLARK) went to live in the Boston Female Orphans Asylum. Mr.
DEXTER sold the house in Melrose and moved to Boston, and I believe he
remained in contact with his Adoptive daughter (probable granddaughter)
until his death in 1905. My grandmother remained in "homes" until ~1909.
(There is a great deal more of this story. And, during this summer, I
hope to write up a "short story" (actually a long story) including all
aspects of my grandmother's childhood !)
One aspect is that it has just occurred to me that the YOUNG and CROSBY
families of Killingly, CT, must have remained in contact with my
grandmother after 1905. My grandmother married in 1911, and lived in
both Somerville and Medford (KERR family). And, yet, her nephew-by way
of Adoption, Earle YOUNG, was able to make contact with her after several of
her children had been born. So, he must have known her married name.
(I believe that Earle YOUNG of Killingly, and later New Haven, CT, was
actually her half-brother, 7 years older than she was.)
I have a copy of the following marriage license for my ancestors, John B. CLARK and Henrietta CLARK:
Know all men by these presents, that we John CLARK and Isaac CLARK are held and firmly bound unto his excellency William B. Giles the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, for the time eing, and to his successors in office, for the useof the said Commonwealth, in the just and full sum of one hundred and fifty dollars:--To which payment well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators, jointly and severally, firmly by these presents. Sealed with our seals, and dated this 14th day of April 1828. The condition of the above obligation is such, That whereas the above bound John CLARK hath this day obtained from Sanford Reamey, Clerk of Henry county, a license for his intermarriage with Henrietta CLARK of said county:--Now if there should be no lawful cause to obstruct the marriage for which the aforesaid license was desired and granted, then this obligation to be void, or else to remain in full force and virtue.
Witness,
(signature of John Clark)
(signature of Isaac Clark)
My question is who was Isaac CLARK mentioned here? Was he Henrietta's father? Was he John's brother or father?

Looking for more information on:James CLARK b. abt. 1755 in Halifax or Pittsylvania Co., VA. He had at least 2 sons: 1) William b. 1778 Henry Co., VA; d. 1831-1839 Henry Co., VA. William m. Keziah _____ in 1801 in Henry Co., VA. I cannot find a marriage record. Keziah was b. in 1780 in MD; d. after 1860 probably in Ray Co., MO. 2) Isaac CLARK b. abt. 1791 probably Henry Co., VA. I believe Isaac is the father of Henrietta E. CLARK b. Dec. 27, 1809 Henry Co., VA. She m. John B. CLARK (son of William CLARK b. 1778). John B. CLARK was b. Sept. 25, 1804 Henry Co., VA; d.
