Thomas Baskerville was born in Tipperary county, Ireland in 1829. He came to Canada with his parents, Benjamin Baskerville and Sarah Martin, when he was about ten years old and settled in Kingston. As a young man he was a sailor and in 1847 moved to Beverly Township where he farmed the north half of Lot 34 on the 7th Concession. He married Charlotte Shaver of Westover. They had six daughters, Mahala, Mary Ann, Hortence, Agness, Margaret, and Louise. The family moved to Dundas in 1867 where he was a butcher for 28 years. He served three different terms as councilor for Valley Ward. The family resided in the home at the corner of King and Napier (Block 13, Lot 12) which is still there. His shop was located on the same property. Charlotte died in 1892 and Thomas in 1895 at the age of 65. His eldest daughter, Mahala, married James McEwan of Dundas. They resided in the Baskerville home after the death of Thomas. James worked as a machinist at Bertram’s for 54 years having started as an apprentice at age 14. His family are also early pioneers of Wentworth County having come to Dundas in 1841. Mary Ann married T.J. Statham of Chicago and they took up residence in Strathroy where she died in 1938. Agness was a school teacher in Dundas. At a young age she went to India as a Baptist missionary for over forty years where she operated a school for girls. Louise died young, at the age of 19, in 1891 of Tuberculosis. She, along with her father, mother and sisters Agness and Mahala are buried in the family plot in the Grove Cemetery, Dundas.

Bullock
Family Contact: Leah B. Meador
The head of this family was William BULLOCK, III, called William the Elder. William was born in Staffordshire, England 5 Oct 1804 and (via Pittsburgh, PA) settled Bullock's Corners in West Flamborough in 1833. Upon his death 24 Jan 1866, his was the first burial in Christ Church Cemetery. William married Mary Ann JACKSON (d. 1851). After his arrival in West Flamboro, William "purchased land from Peter Hunter HAMILTON, being part of Lot 10, Concession 2, on or about the thirty-first day of January, 1837, and built a tavern which he called the British Hotel and which became the nucleus of the community which grew up around it. On the 10th day of Februrary, 1841, he purchased additional land, part of Lot 10 in the Second Consession of West Flamboro, which contained land on both sides of the creek from Kirby's bridge south and east to the 2nd concession, thus securing the creek rights on which he built a grist and sawmill,... a large frame block of stores... and several houses on the east side of the Brock road south of Kirby's bridge."* William III continued in the hotel business and in running the grist mill. His brother, Ralph, joined him from England to assist with running his businesses. In 1848, William and Dr. James HAMILTON were authorized to purchase the land on which the first school was built. In 1852 he was elected to the Municipal Council and served for the years 1852-1855, serving as Deputy Reeve for the last two years. In 1854 an older sister (Mary Ann) and her husband, Jos. JACKSON, came to Canada from England to help run the lumber business William had also began. In 1857 William III turned over all his local property jointly to two sons, William III and Joseph. William III and his wife had seven children that I know about:
Daughters
1. Emma (m. Matthew PEACOCK)
2. Mary Ann (m. COCHENOUR)
3. Elizabeth (m. MARTIN), and
4. Frances (m. WEBSTER, possibly George)
Sons
5. Joseph (m. Lizzie DUFFIELD, 1856). In 1870 Joseph sold his share of the family property to his brother, Wm IV, and moved to New Brunswick.
6. John - John left Canada for "a life of adventure". I believe he first went to New Zealand and then later to California.
7. And my ancestor, William IV, called William the Younger. William married Sara KIEVEL (her parents were John NON-KIEVELL and Sarah SCHRAM). Her brothers were John and George.

Clink
Family Contact: Jan Clink
My pioneer family name is CLINK My g.g. grandfather, James T. Clink (b.1788/9 NY-possibly Albany) was a UEL who emmigrated to Saltfleet, Wentworth Co. Ont., Canada abt 1811. Although the exact emmigration date is not known, he was definitely there by 1826. I believe he was married first to a Margaret ?, but have no documented proof. Possible children from this union are:
- John-b.1814, Zelah-b.1815,
- Henry-b.1816,
- George-b.1819,
- Helena-b1820,
- Phoebe-b.6/27/1823,
- James C.-b.1830.
Other children may also have been born of this union because of the date gap between 1823 and 1830. On 3/21/1835, James married(2nd?) Mary Barker-b.1815 Saltfleet, in Saltfleet. Their children were: Sarah C.-b.1842, Caroline-b.1843, Mary Jane-b.1846/7, Richard-b1847/8, Rachel-b.1848/9, Benjamin Tara-b9/26/1852 Saltfleet, Joseph A.-b.1854, Jonas-b.1857. James died in Wentworth Co. (probably Saltfleet) about 1866 although no death record has been located yet. Benjamin T. married Mary Bridget McDonald-b.7/6/1857 (an indentured servant brought over from London, England at the age of 9 who worked as a nursemaid) on 1/2/1882 in Woodstock, Ont., Can. They raised their own family in the Stoney Creek/Grimsby area of Wentworth Co.

Family Contact: Rev. Allan F. Cope
I would like to suggest adding William Cope, Sr. (1719-1813) to your list of Wentworth County Pioneers. William, Sr. is my 4th great grandfather. He and his sons: William, Jr. (1757-1813); Henry (1760-1844); Thomas, my 3rd great grandfather (1762-1857); and Conrad (1765-1861); all help to settle in the area. They founded Copetown, but also lived in many of the other townships of Wentworth County. William, Sr. and some of his sons were Loyalists who had fled to Canada from New York. William, Sr.'s mother in law, who lived to 107, was the first person to be buried in the Copetown Cemetery in 1802. William, Sr. married Phoebe Ellsworth, my 4th great grandmother, of course.
Anyway, I thought that you might be interested in adding this information to your list. My snail mail address is 531 Creath Place, San Antonio, Texas, 78221. My local telephone is (210) 923-7067. I am a Lutheran Pastor (ELCA) and serving Trinity Lutheran Church in San Antonio.

Andrew Rose and his wife, Elizabeth Daniels, of Morris Co, NJ emigrated to Canada around 1812, and were settled in Lake Ontario by March 1813, when their fourth child, Phoebe was born there. The family stayed in the area for at least twenty years, and Andrew was converted and baptized by Joseph Smith in Oct 1833. Some time later, most of the family moved back to the States and "migrated" through Missouri and Illinois, until they went west with the Warren Foote Wagon Train to Utah; Andrew died on the way (14 Aug 1850). The second daugher, Lucinda, married Cyrus Hunt in 1827 in Ancaster, and they remained in Ontario. Some LDS records suggest that other members of the Rose family may have emigrated with a group of Loyalists to Upper Canada as early as 1780.

Wentworth County Pioneer Family Name: SYKES
Write up of pioneer: My Wentworth County pioneers are Joshua SYKES and his wife Sarah (MASON) who are buried in the cemetery of Kirkwall Presbyterian Church in Beverly Township. Their tombstones say only that they came from Leeds, Yorkshire, England. The only census in which I have located them is the 1871 census of Beverly Township. I do not know when they immigrated but I believe my great-great-grandmother, Anna (SYKES) BARNES was their daughter. Joshua and Sarah were married at Caverley, Yorkshire, England 28 September 1823. Anna was married to John H. BARNES, about 1843 in Ontario, which would make their immigration between the 1820s and the 1840s. Joshua and Sarah were both born about 1787, according to the 1871 census. Anna’s birth date has been placed between 1819 and 1827. This is absolutely all I know of this family.

Jane E. Willson of Saltfleet married James W. Harris of Grimsby on March 1,1837 in Saltfleet. They had one (?) son, Cicero T., and the family seem to have lived most of their lives in and near Smithville where they farmed and kept a store. Census records state that Jane was born in Saltfleet in 1816 of Irish parents. Several "Willson" families settled in the area around Winona and a John W. Willson was an original settler in 1790 on "The Fifty". I have not found a connection between Jane and these Willson families but feel there must be one. Any information would be appreciated.
