DECKER, WELLWOOD,

Obituary Needed

My great-grandmother Cynthia (Decker) WELLWOOD died at Cramahe Feb. 25, 1866 and is buried at Colbourne. Her husband John V. WELLWOOD soon took his family and left for Michigan, where they appear to have spent the rest of their lives. I am interested to know as much as possible about their lives in Cramahe.

Is it possible to get an Obituary for Cynthia? How about accessibility to Presbyterian Church Records ?

DEFIELD, McNELL

In 1851 and 1861 Joseph DEFIELD lived in Murray Twp., Northumberland Co. He married Sarah McNELL__ b. abt 1833 . By 1871 the family had moved Norfolk Co.

KEELER

I am searching for information on my family as follows: Great-Great-Great Grandparents Martin and Susannah (Susan) KEELER who lived in Cramahe. Martin was born in 1801 in the United States. Susannah was born in Ontario but I'm not sure when/where. They had a number of children including: Mary, William, James and Ann. They were Wesleyan Methodists.

Great-Great Grandparents James KEELER (from above) married Adeline BUCKOUT Dec 17, 1861 in Cramahe. James was born in Cramahe in approximately 1840 (not yet confirmed the year). Adeline's parents were Henry and Nancy BUCKOUT (Episcopal Methodists) and she was born in Brighton Township in 1846. James and Adeline had many children before she passed away and I also know that James married again. One of their children was Emma Edith Edna KEELER. She later married William AVERY and they moved to Golden, BC and homesteaded there. (They were my great-grandparents)

Any information on Martin & Susannah KEELER, James & Adeline KEELER or Henry and Nancy BUCKOUT would be appreciated. I know they were all of German descent originally. Henry and Martin were both born in the United States so they may have immigrated together. They were both born around the turn of the century; 1801 and 1800.
