All of the children of Robert
Wilson(1804) are on a Census of 1851 and their
ages were given as of 1851 and from this their year of birth was calculated.
Of these children--john and
robert were quite wealthy. John was John G.
Willson Esquire and was Reeve of THorold Twp. and a farmer. John md # 2
Mary Jenny McGlashen 15 Mar 1877.. He may have married #3 Selena and had
3-5 kids--Mildred, Hugh(md Ecker), etc.
Andrew may have returned to
U.S.A. 1797 and thus no Canadian records of
his death.
.
William died at 75 years. His
line came in 1717 from County Antrim,Ireland
to Rhode Island. The source is cem. rec. and 1851 census of Welland co.
Ontario. William had a brother named Samuel Hill. The Hills came to
Canada after 1811 but before 1829. The source is Phyllis Hill.
All: The Hill line came from county Antrim,Ireland in 1717. The wife's given
name was from Mrs. Roy Summers, Beaversdam Rd., R.R.#1., Fonthill,Welland,
Ontario, LOS IEO. Child George Hill data from Williams' Will in poss of Phyllis
Hill, 108 Maureen Ave., Welland, Ont. Other family data from 1851 Thorold Twp.
Census and Cem rec. The Hill family came to Canada after 1811 but before 1829.
Originally I thought that my line
went Franziest-Hans- Andrew.
Now I have better documentation that says it is Franziest-Christian-
Christian. Therefore- these changes. Christian (born 1690) arrived
in Philadelphia in 1739.
All: . Christian HERSCHE
All: Land Records name children and daughters husbands (Deed Z-121)
All: Christian arrived in America
later than his family because he was "forced to
remain behind at the Court." He arrived in Philadelphia on 3 Sep 1739 on
the
ship Robert and Alice (Ralph B. Strassburger, William J. Hinke, Editor,
"Pennsylvania German Pioneers", Vol I, page 267.)
All: Birth and Spouse: IGI Film 1396432, Batch F500028 31
All: Christian and his family lived in Manheim Twp., Lancaster Co., Penn.
All: 1n 1709, Christian was with his mother and father in the Friedelsheim, Germany Congregation. He was 17 years of age at this time.
Also, originally, I thought my 4th gg father was Andrew Hersche not Christian. Judith Hart had better info.
All:
Esther EGLE (EGLI)
All: Esther's will was written on 4 Mar 1768. She divided her estate equally among her children, mentioning by name her sons Abraham and Benjamin. Witnesses to her will were Abraham Neff, Christian Hershey and Benjamin Hershey. (Lancaster Co. Will Y-2-313, 1792, Will of Esther Hershey.)
All: Abraham Egli was the only known Mennonite named Egli living in the Pfalz at the time period when Esther married Christian Hershey, so it is very likely that Abraham was the father of Esther.
