I am seeking the parents of Mary Ann DRINKWATER, born in Haldimand, September 12, 1823. She married, in Rochester, New York to Isaac Newton FLANAGAN, who was from Vermont. I do not know anything about her parents except the possibility her father was from Scotland. I believe Mary Ann was a Methodist. I have found a few DRINKWATERs in the later Haldimand censuses, but can't make the connection. Isaac and Mary Ann lived in several places in New York and Ontario during their early marriage, including Haldimand and Pickering.

Do you know of this family and can share information and documents? I have further names and details to share. Which Newspapers serve these areas?

I am seeking information regarding the PLEDGER, WESSELS and KELLOR families who lived in Northumberland County in the late 1830's and early 1840's.
Eleanor PLEDGER, was born in Murray Township in 1842. She is the daughter of Charles PLEDGER who was b. 1805 in England and Phoebe WESSELS. Who were Pheobe's parents? Was Charles married previously or was Pheobe his first wife? Eleanor married Charles Bestor KELLOR, b. 1836, perhaps in Prince Edward county. The KELLOR family moved to Wisconsin where a son, Charles Adrian KELLOR, was born in 1870 in. Do you know these families?
The family story passed on through many iterations is that a large group of settlers from Northumberland County came to Dane County, Wisconsin in the mid-late 1850s, either together or in close succession. I am interested in contacting any researchers or descendants of these families. VANTASSEL, BURGESS, BELL, GILLETT, SHERWOOD, HAIGHT,etc.
