My ISP crashed last weekend, and I lost all of my e-mail. I don't
know if I
posted to this list or what. I would like to know if anyone has this line
of
Jewell in theirs.

Notes for MARYETTA LOSSING:
Maryette came from a very old North American family. The Lossings came from
New York State. It was her Uncle that founded the town of Norwich. He
bought
huge tracts of land that were for sale, then sold them to his friends
and
relatives who live in New York States, all of whom seemed quite
dissatisfied
with their lives. Maryette's father was one of those relatives.
The land
was
inexpensive and good farming land. Maryette, was the third oldest of
fourteen
children. Maryette raised 10 children. Raising children out in what we
would
have called the wilderness must have been quite a challenge for her.
When
her husband died at the sixty-eight, it was only five months later, that
Maryette
had a heart attack and fell on the stove,burning to death.
Notes for JOSEPH HASTINGS:
Joseph Hastings was almost a young man, when his parents died. This left
with his younger sister to care for. He had no means of supporting the
child
nor himself. I do not know whether or not provisions were made, that
they
should be sent to their Uncle Thomas who lived in Canada, or not. However,
what ever the situation was Joseph and his younger sister landed up on
Uncle
Thomas's
farm. Uncle Thomas lived in Norwich, Oxford, Ontario. His older brother
Robert
lived not far away. Joseph was probably put to work as a farm hand. He had
to earn his keep somehow. I'm guessing at this since their is no actual
proof, that Joseph met Maryette at church. Most of the inhabitants of
Norwich and it's surrounding area were Quakers, Dutch Reform, or United. In
Joseph's case it was United. It was only a few years later that Joseph and
Maryette got married.
It seems that Joseph was not the farming type. I gathered he tried his hand
at many different types of jobs. He seemed to be on the move quite often.
He
landed on the Bruce Peninsula in the lumber business. Back then, the
Bruce
was untamed and pure wilderness. The lumbering business was booming. He
seemed to have made his way to Wiarton. This I know as for a fact. I have
seen the house Joseph and Maryette raised their family in. Back in Joseph's
days it was farm land, today, it is in the middle of town. Joseph died
there
and was buried in the town cemetery.
