Wetmores in Gagetown NB Anglican Church Records & a note about Charles Inglis

Hi, Rebecca --
Wow, quite a find.Old home week.Many thanks!I was able to fill in some birthdates I had wondered about.I also see the mysterious Luther WETMORE (or at least his wife undergoing adult baptism) cropping up; he was a son of Timothy/4 WETMORE and sort of disappeared from the record.
And there is me own Granddaddy WETMORE and namesake, John Warren Goldfinch (apparently named after a gentleman farmer in Queens Co.).Granddaddy actually was born at his maternal grandparents' house in Dorchester, Westmorland, NB as I believe most if not all of his siblings were.
This is my line, descended from Timothy/4 WETMORE the Loyalist (Thomas/1, Izrahiah/2, the Rev. James/3).Timothy was a parishioner at Trinity Church in NYC; his first wife Jane HAVILAND and one of his daughters are buried there, and I believe that he also is buried there.He returned to NYC from Canada in 1800 and died in 1820.He was my GGGG-GF.
As you noted, Inglis as a given name crops up in my line at several reprises.
The Rev. Charles Inglis became the first Anglican bishop of Atlantic Canada (I don't know the exact style of his title).The first Charles Inglis Wetmore (b. 1835) was the oldest son of Timothy Robert/6 Wetmore and his first wife Fanny STRATTON, and grandson of Thomas/5 who did legal work for your GGGG-GF Sands.That Inglis (as the family called them) moved to Adrian, Michigan with several of his sisters and their families around 1890.He died there unmarried, as far as I know.
The second Inglis Wetmore, b. 1885, was the son of Thomas Medley WETMORE (my G-GF), T. Robert's son by his second wife Mary Anne Sophia BONNELL.This Iglis died, also unmarried, in the Influenza Pandemic of 1917/8.
There is yet another Inglis Wetmore, a son of Medley's youngest child Edward Valentine Tait WETMORE."Ingy" was my father's first cousin (Dad had at least 20 first cousins on his father's side alone), a schoolteacher in MA who died in the 1980s.I have his DoB somewhere.
As you probably intuited, Gagetown is my ancestral stamping ground -- T. Robert and Medley are both buried in St. Johns churchyard, as well as T. Robert's PETERS grandparents. Baptisms of (Great) Auntie Maude, Aunt Nellie (never knew her middle name was Evelyn), Uncle Bon, Uncle Inglis (the one who died in the flu pandemic) -- but the oldest and youngest, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Val, are missing and may have been baptized in Dorchester.
Again, thanks for the link.
Warren
