Sheldon Hawley & Hannah Johnston in Bath, Ontario
Can anyone please tell me who the parents & siblings were of Hannah Johnston (1769-1851)who married Sheldon Hawley at Bath, Ontario Feb. 16, 1789?
Sheldon was the son of Jeptha Hawley and Esther Castle.
Hannah is listed in William D. Reid's "Loyalists in Ontario" (pages 165-166) as being a daughter of a JAMES JOHNSTON of Ernestown, with siblings:
William of Ernestown
Mary who married William "Juel" (JEWELL?)of Ernestown
John married Rachel CATON
James of Ernestown
Margaret married James DEAN
Robert of Murray
Henry of Hope
Samuel of Murray
Jemima in Murray
Nancy married Henry SIMMONS of Murray
Elizabeth married Cornelius VAN ATTER of Hope
Andrew, Jacob and Nathan of Ernestown.
Where are Hope and Murray? Does anyone have info for any of these families, any background info which would help me to identify parents for these Johnston/Johnson siblings, where father James came from, who his parents were, who his wife was, etc.?
Sheldon Hawley and Hannah Johnston Hawley are my fourth great grandparents.
Thanks from Nora
