NORTHUMBERLAND Co.:
I seek a Francis FREEMAN who, in a land petition dated 1816 claimed to be (1) a long-time resident of the "Newcastle District", (2) a veteran of the 84th Regiment of Foot which was disbanded in 1784, (3) 67 years old and (4) a native of the Province (now state) of Pennsylvania.

My gggrandfather, James BRADY and Terence BRADY were both originally buried in Burnely Cemetery according to obituaries. I am told that the cemetery no longer exists and legend says they were moved to Warkworth. Is there any place that would have kept a record of those originally buried in Burnley? I am positive there would have been headstones with inscriptions. The OFCA says that Warkworth Cemetery is abandoned. What happened to the people there?
Please reply to: Marcy CLAIR mclair@bellsouth.net
Response of 24 Feb 1999: "No, it is not abandoned...it has several caretakers who take very good care of it...If you would like to check out if you have ancestors there, or would like some info on them, write to: Clerk-Administrator, Township Office, 40 Main Street, Warkworth, Ontario K0K 3K0 Canada". from Linda Herman at herman@erols.com

I am researching John MILLER, born 1816 and died 1871 at Owen Sound. His wife, Margaret McDIARMED, born 1828, also died at Owen Sound in 1876. John was an early merchant of Owen Sound and was of Scotch descent, possibly with Loyalist connections. There was a MILLER family living in Port Hope about the same time who may be related.
I would like to hear from anyone with information about either MILLER family. Please reply to: Bob GRAHAM GRAHAMRM@aol.com

I am unfamiliar with the area and have been unable to locate it on maps. Can anyone provide me details of the concession and lot number for this cemetery or its history?
Samuel's mother is known to be Mary Elizabeth WALTON, but which DUNK was his father, Alonzo age 55 in 1871 census? George age 42? Lewis age 54? William age 46? Or some other DUNK? She is also known to raised, Frederick Arthur DUNK, a son of Samuel, perhaps at Toronto. A Mary DUNK is also buried in Seymour, but her relationship to Samuel is unknown.

I am looking for references to the name,
WALSH. Richard WALSH came over with Captain Peter ROBINSON, but I am not sure where they settled. By the time his son, John, was born c. 1839 they were established in Asphodel. John's son, Richard,lived his entire life in Hastings, born November 22, 1868 and died June 28, 1949. He was known as "Drover Dick WALSH" and was a prominent citizen of Hastings. Young Richard is buried in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, as is his wife, Mary DOHERTY and several of his children.
I am seeking more details on Mary DOHERTY's origins and on the lives of John and Richard, the senior.
