She married on 6 Sep 1924 in Bonnar Prebyterian Church, Toronto, Ontario, Frederick Cromwell Bayliss, born 29 Sep 1896 in Wexford, Ontario; died 19 Jun 1952 in Trenton, Ontario. [Hannah Dwinnell Family.GED from Fred Bayliss, July 2001] Dora Hattie (appears as Harriet on some documents but mother believed her name to be Hattie)King was born on a farm in Tiny Township on the 8th of May, 1902 (birth registeredas having been in Randolph, Ontario), the 7th of ten children born to SamuelKing and Hannah Dwinnell. The family moved to Agincourt in 1910, where Samuelhad purchased a hundred acre farm on what is now Midland Ave. a half milesouth of Finch Avenue. An account of the move by her elder brother, Albert,reported that the family rented two box cars for three days to move the householdand farm equipment. In addition, Samuel and Albert each drove a team of horsespulling wagon loads of their remaining possessions. Dora left High School after Grade 10, staying home to help on the farm. (Doris reports that regardless of her mother's abbreviated formal schooling she, Doris, never required a calculator or a dictionary so long as her mother was living!) Dora met Fred Bayliss - called by his middle name Cromwell (Crom) -while skating at the Agincourt Arena (Fred was working for the CPR in Agincourt at the time). She was convinced he enjoyed visiting their farm because there was always a crowd around - he was an only child. When Samuel gave the running of the farm to his oldest son, Albert, for five years so that he could get his start in life the remaining members of the family moved into Toronto. During this period, before her marriage, Dora worked for a time as a switchboard operator for the Bell Telephone Company. From her comments we gather it was not the most exciting period of her life! Dora and Crom were married on September 6, 1924, in Bonnar Presbyterian Church in the west end of Toronto. Following their marriage they moved to Port Hope, and from there toTweed. In 1930, at the time of the Depression, Crom was "bumped" by a moresenior employee and they moved to live in the CPR station in Ivanhoe ( aboutten miles north of Belleville and seven miles south of Madoc) with theirthree children. In that station they had NO electricity, NO running water(an indoor cistern pump and an outdoor well pump), NO indoor plumbing andfor a time NO car. It had to have been very difficult with 3 small childrenand yet, as is often the case in such circumstances, we all remember happytimes. In 1937 the family moved to Trenton where circumstances where much more pleasant and must have been much easier for Dora. Her family and her church were Dora's primary interests.. A measure of her committment to her church was the presentation to Dora of a Life Membership in the Women's Missionary Society of The United Church of Canada on September 25, 1952 having been nominatedby the Women's Missionary Society (WMS) of King St. United Church in TrentonOntario. Dora and Crom's entertainment consisted of bridge games with friends and the occasional movie (where, according to mother, dad always fell asleep!). On occasion throughout the year, but especially around the Christmas season when we children were younger, friends would come in to sing around the piano while mother played. When Crom died very suddenly in 1952, Dora, who was 50 at the time,moved to Toronto to be closer to her siblings. For a time she and her sister,Sarah shared a home which they purchased together on Lawrence Avenue in NorthToronto. For the first year Dora's son, Fred, and daughter, Ila, and Sarah'sdaughter Donna shared the home. Dora managed the home while the other fourwent out to work. After the three young people had flown the coup in the Fall of 1953, the two sisters went their separate ways no longer requiring such spacious accommodation. About this time Dora re-learned the driving of a car, not having driven since her teen years on the farm and happily drove around the city for most of her remaining years. In 1954 Doris returned home and mother willingly assumed the care of two very young grandchildren. While Doris worked, mother provided a home for herself, and the three of them. This happy arrangement began on Douglas Avenue in Toronto, then moved up to Glendora Avenue in Willowdale where it continued until the grandchildren had grown up and gone their ways. Dora and Doris then moved to an apartment on Sheppard Avenue, East, still in Willowdale and lived together until Dora's death. At the age of sixty-five Dora discovered the joy of travelling abroad. She visited Korea (where son Fred and family were living), Expo in Japan, Hong Kong and Great Britain andEurope. Prior to this she had toured through much of Canada and several statesin the USA. Dora died in January 1981 of complications from Multiple Myeloma.At the time, Sumi Iwamoto, a friend of Doris for many years, stated thatshe had been a "valiant lady" - very true!!

| 22 | Also found information (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~steeles/Steele/d181.htm#P2440) suggesting: Henry WHITNEY(27645) was born in 1620 in Berkhamsted, Hertford Co., ENG.(27646) (27647) He immigrated about 1640. He died in 1673 in Norwalk, Fairfield Co., CT. (27648)(27649) He had an estate probated on 8 Nov 1673 in Norwalk, Fairfield Co., CT. (27650) He was a Millwright and Miller in Huntington, Suffolk Co., NY.(27651) -- Henry1 Whitney, parents unknown, born say 1615, probably in England.[1] He died in Norwalk, CT, between the date of his will, written 5 Jun 1672, and the date of his inventory, taken 8 Nov 1673. The name of his first wife is unknown. Her existence is inferred from the fact that his son John2 was too old to have been the son of his known second wife. Her parentage, birth date, and death date are unknown. Letter from Henry Whitney to John Winthrop, 1652 In 1652, Henry Whitney wrote a letter to John Winthrop, Jr. requesting medical advice concerning his wife. "Wourthi Sir, Having this oppertunyti I have made bowld to write thes few lines unto you, hoping that God may make you an instryment of good to mee in the matter which i write to you about: my wife have been for these many yeres much trubled in the spring of the yere and at the fall with a trubble of the head, not a payne, but a swimming as it wear which as we conceve is ocashoned from a cloging at hir stomake, and sum times she is overcum with a sudden flashing heat and she is much overcome with malencolly: I would intreat you if you know of anything that may doe hir good that you would send mee sumthing by goodman Elderkin and I will send you sattisfaction by him: if you coceve that fisik may doe hir good there is no danger for hir to take it in respect of childbering for wee conceve she is past that: and thus with my love Remembered to your worship I Rest yours to my power: Henry Whitne Southold this 22th of April 1652 On the Cover is written "To the wourshipfull / in John wintrup live / ing at pequit give / this with trust". He married secondly, after 8 Jun 1655, Sarah (Salmon) Ketcham, daughter of Christopher and Anne (Taylor) Salmon and widow of Edward Ketcham of Stratford, CT. That she was the widow of Edward Ketcham is proved by a suit brought on 11 Jun 1660 by Henry1 Whitney against Joseph Whitmore for stealing the affections of his wife's daughter, Sarah Ketcham. Her birth date and place, presumably England, and death date and place, probably Norwalk, CT, are unknown. On which ship and on what date he came to America is unknown.[2] He lived in Southold (1649-1658), Huntington (1658-1662), and Jamaica (1662-1664), NY. Then in 1664 he moved to Norwalk, CT, where he lived for the rest of his life. Phoenix says the following about him:[3] Henry Whitney, the earliest of this family whom we can trace in America, was born in England, probably about the year 1620. No record of him has been found prior to 8 Oct. 1649, when he was associated with Edward Tredwell and Thomas Benedict in buying three fourths of William Salmon's land and Hashamommock, in Southold, Long Island. These four men made the following agreement, which is recorded in the town records of Southold, Vol. I, p. 89. "Wee whos names are are vnder written inhabiting vppon the neck of land commonly called Hashamommock1 considering that our Cumfort and quiett setlement would consist et stand in the inioyment of good neigbourhood did make this agreement at our first sitting doune that what man soever should desire to remoue and to endeauor to make sale of his accomodacons should put in such a neighbour as the other Inhabitanc liveinge with him should approve of. an ancient order made for ye preservation of good neighbourhood, wch order or agreemt is as followeth. John Budd junior appeared to answere the sute, May 28, 1660. Thomas Rider had bought the right of Thomas Benedict; and Lieut. John Budd that of Edward Tredwell, both assignments being made on the record book without date, while Concklin and Osman must have obtained their rights from Henry Whitney, though the formal evidence of the transfer was not made till 1670, as follows: I Henry Whitney Doe assine over vnto John Bud Juner, all my righte titel and interest in the within specified Deed only excepting what I sould vnto Thoomas Osman, as Wittness my hand the 24 May 1670. The mark of [Mark] HENRY WHITNY. John Budd Junr, doth hereby assign as abovesaid all his right title and interest unto John Conckelyne Senior the day and year abovesaid. Witnessed by ISAAC ARNOLD BENJAMIN YOUNGS JOHN BUDD. Entered upon Record the 24th of May anno 1670, by me Richard Terry Recordr. --- (See Town Records of Southold, L. I., Vol. I, fol. 86.) Charles B. Moore, Esq., of New York, who has carefully studied the history of Hashamommock, thinks that Henry Whitney, while residing there, lived in the same house with Thomas Benedict. As before stated, the date of his transfer of those lands gives no clue to the time of his removal, but the Town Records of Huntington, L. I., show that he was an inhabitant of that place, 17 Aug. 1658, when he bought of Wyandance, sachem of Pammanake, "three whole necks of meshepeake Land," -- "ffor the vse of the whole Towne of Huntington." The following is a copy of the deed, endorsed "a deed for 3 Westward necks of Meadow," and "an Indian Deed for 3 necks westward of the six necks."

While at Huntington, he build a grist mill, or "corne mmill," for Rev. William Leverich, of that place, which led to some disagreement; Leverich asserting that the mill was not finished in season, nor in the way that the contract required, and Whitney that his pay had been unjustly withheld form him. He seems also to have been a leader in the movement which resulted in the dismissal of Mr. Leverich, as minister of Huntington; and these causes led to several suits between the parties. Not much of the testimony is recorded; but before leaving the town, Mr. Leverich obtained permission of the court to put on record three long depositions signed by himself, his wife, and his son, giving their version of the causes which led to his dismissal. Some persons who have read these depositions, have inferred that Henry Whitney had preached for the people of Huntington, before Mr. Leverich was employed, and some of the testimony seems to harmonize with this supposition. The evidence shows that he was a frank outspoken man -- once fined for speaking his mind too freely before the Court -- but when a charge was true, he would acknowledge it, without waiting for proof from his opponent. His differences with Mr. Leverich were finally settled, as appears by the following receipt, a copy of which was furnished by Mr. James Riker, of Waverly, N. Y., from the original, yet preserved by one of the descendants of Mr. Leverich: November: 1: 1660: These presents witnes that "I henery whitne of huntington doe acknowledg that I haue receued of mr william leuerich forty pounds for the building of his mill and doe by these presents fully acquit and discharge the aboue named mr leuerich his eyers exceketors and assignes from all debts dues and demands that euer haue bin betwixt him and me, from the begining of the world to his prsent daye Witnes my hand HENERY WHITNEY [Mark] his marke Witnes John STIKLIN [Mark] his marke THOMAS BENNYDICK The first allusion to his wife is found in the following extract from the Huntington Court Records, p. 23, from which it seems that he married a widow Ketcham; possibly Sarah, the widow of Edward Ketcham, of Stratford, Conn., who died about 1655. (That she was not his first wife appears from the fact that his son was of full age in 1666.) Jeune the 11.

The will of "Edward Katchm, of Stratford, lately deceased," was the third one recorded, and the following is all of it which remains legible. "I, Edw . . . . perfect . . . God h . . .

The inventory was written 9 June 1655; and approved by the court 19 June 1655. He was defendent in two suits at Huntington, 25 Oct. 1660, both brought by William Ludlum, who had succeeded Mr. Leverich in the ownership of the mill, one of which was "an acsion of trespas for breking the mill and grinding seueral times with out his leue to his greate damage." The defendant deny the breking of the mill but confesed he opened the dore, and went and groune his corne, his family being all scik, none abell to beate, he went to inquier for the kei but coulde not her of it for he was gone to the south, and his family with himselue veing like to famish he was constrayned to doe it: yet notwithstanding he gaue the miller his just towle. The vardit of the courte in this acsion is that they find the defendant was necessitated to yt he did and the plaintiff sufered no damage. His last appearance in the records of Huntington was 25 Jan. 1661 (? 1661-2), as witness, with Edward ffrencham, to the will of Henry Scudder, of Huntington. Soon after this he removed to Jamaica, Long Island, where, as we learn incidentally, he bought a home lot of Richard Harker; which he afterward sold to William Smith and his son Joseph Smith. His name appears several times on the records of Jamaica; 9 Aug. 1662, as committee to buy boards and lime for the minister's house, and to hire a mason, if need require; 12 Dec. 1662, as committee to lay out the south meadows; 20 Dec. 1662, as grantee of an acre of land at the rear of his home lot; 2 March 1663 (stylo novo) as one of twenty-four who signed the deed of gift for a house and home lot, to Rev. Mr. Walker; and again, 5 Feb. (1663-4), as committee to lay out meadows. December ye 13th 1664. The town have chosen Henry Whitney, Beniamin Coe, Thomas Smith, Joseph Thurstone, & Samuel Mathews to be Townsmen for ye year ensuing & to order & cary on ye affaires of ye Town of publike concernment during the year, except giving off lands & taking in off habitants. Another record, without date, of a vote of the town to lay out to others, "yt lott of medow which was formerly Henry Whtineys," closes the history of his residence in Jamaica. He next appears at Norwalk, Conn., in the following record. At a towne meeitinge heild the 24th of July, [16]65. * * * * Also at the sayed meeiting -- whereas Henry Whitney hath agreed and incaged with the towne to make, build, and erect a goode and sufficient grounde corne mill, and that at the mouth of norwake River by the falles, and that upon certaine conditiones which conditiones are to be fully drawen up by Tho. ffitch Leiftenant Olmsted, mistr ffenn in wrighting to be confiremede and signed by the Towne oir those they shalle depute in their behalfe which conditiones weare fully agree upon at the sayed meeitinge betweene the Towne and Henry Whitney, and to be signeded and confirmed by the sayed Henry Whitneye which sayed wrightings doe fullie expresse the tearmes and conditiones of Both parties. Allso at the sayed meeitinge the Towne voted and grantede unto the sayed Henry Whtiney a home Lott consistinge of twoe acres the sayed Lott to be Layed out upon the mill plaine upon the right hande of the path Leadinge downe to the ould mill, being over the Run Lett 2 or three rodd from the sayed Run Lett and allso from the cart way, and so the grant of the other Lott is relinquisheded. This lot lay near the mill, on the north side of Norwalk River, and was the first lot west of Mill Brook. Norwalk Land Records, Vo. IV, folios 51 and 52, set forth the fact that the agreement between the town of Norwalk and Henry Whitney "being comprehended in one pair of Indentures of a like tennure not being recorded, one of them not to be found, and the other damnified by some unknown means, and not in a suteable capacity for a Record," the town voted, 24 Oct. 1706, that a new draft be made of the former agreement, and covenant made by James Olmsted, Samuel Smith, and Joseph Platt, the town's committee, and John Whitney, Senr. This was recorded 16 July 1709, and shows that "whereas the planters aforesaid hath given and granted unto ye said Henry Whitney the Old Mill House, with the Mill Stones and what Irons and other things belongeth thereunto," etc., the said Henry Whitney engaged "to make, Maintaine, Keep, and uphold a good sufficient ground corne Mill, and that at ye proper cost and charge of ye said Henry Whitney, his heirs, and assigns, and that upon the mouth of Norwalk Rivder by ye Falls, and also a good sufficient Mill House over ye same with also a good sufficient Damn to ye said Mill, The said Plainters by these presents allowing ye Ground to ye said Mill where it stands and also sufficient ground across ye River for ye said Damn and also ye use of ye stream of Norwalk River to ye said mill and also liberty to ye said Henry, his heirs and assigns, at all time and times to take from off the common land sufficient of timber for the said Mill and Damn," and he engaged "To Grind the Corne of ye aforesaid planters, their heirs and assignes and Inhabitants of said Town, well and sufficiently at all times hereafter, making good and well conditioned meal provided water may be obtained with the use of means, and to Take butt and no more than the sixteenth part for Tole of all sorts of Grain that shall be ground." The town also granted him several pieces of land. At a Towne Meeitinge November the 9th [16]65, ordred and voted that Waltar Haite and Math Marvin see to lay out the home Lotyt granted unto Henry Whtiney, and allso to place out that peice of Land with the town granted to Henry Whitney upon building and mainteining a good sufficient corne mill. At a Towne meeiting Des 13 [13 Dec 1665] voted and ordered that Henry Whitney and Mathe Marvin [ ] finishe the [meeting] house, or cause the same to be done according as the towne [ma]nifested themselfs about the finishinge the same and for --- --- of the same the decons to descharge the same in currant pay. His name appears in the rate, or tax list of 19 Feb. 1665 [1665-66]. The following entry appears in the records of "A Generall Assembly, held at Hartford, October 10th, 1667," This Court upon the petition of Wm. Haugh, have considered that case depending between him & Henry Whitney, and doe order that there shall be payd unto the sayd Henry Whitney fower pownds out of the publique Trasury, and this to be an issue of the case depending between the sd Haugh & Whitney about seizing of rumme. The Treasurer is desired to order him his pay at Norwalke. -- (Trumbull's Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut, from 1665 to 1678, p. 73.) At a Towne meting in Norwalk, Aprill 15th 1669, henery Whitne and Ralph Keeler was voted and chosen by the towne to vew the pound which John Gregory Junr and Tho Bennydicke Junr. did agree to make, and the sayd men did take a vew of it at the same time & found it to be finished according to bargin and accordingly made their report to the towne. Also at the same meting it was voted and agreed that henery Whtine shall have libberty to make a fence vpon the bank of the other side of the Riuer aboue the Lower cart waye for the weruing of his land. At a Towne meting in Norwalk, May the 5th 69 . . . . Also at the same meting it was agree on that the grant that was formerly given to henery Whitney touching commonage should be Recorded, namely that he is to have a Right in the comons and liberty for Keping cattell horses swine with all other priviliges for fensing, or building, or Any other nesesaries he stand in need of, onely it is to be vnderstood that it is to stand & Remaine to the mill as the other lands doe yt Are apropriated to the Euse. He was one of thirty-three, named in "A true and perfect List of all the Freemen appertaininged vnto the plantation of Norwake. Taken this 11th of October, 1669, and to be presented unto the Honnored Court assembled." At a towne meting in Norwalk, Febraury 20th, 1672 [1672-73], . . . . . At this fore sayd meting it was voted and agreed on that all the land lying between Samuel hayes his homlott & Goodman Whitnes running along by the creek side, shall lye comon for euer & is never to be given out to Any man. At the afore sayd meting it was voted and Agreed on that the pond that lies on the other side of the field, with the meddow aboute it from . . . . . to Matthias Sention his lott shall belong to henery Whitney & his eyers to be layd to the mill as his other lands are that are appropriated for that use: And this is to be for him to Improue as afore sayd, so longh as the afore sayd henery Whitney and his eyers doe maintaine a good suffitient gate into ye aforesayd field, to be well hanged so as it may open and shutt conueniantly. This was his last appearance on the records of the town. He was one of the petitioners, 9 May 1672, for liberty to begin a new "plantation neare the back side of Nrowalke." This was Danbury. Leave was granted, and the plantation was begun in 1684, but he did not live to take part in it. He probably died in the autumn of 1673; but a careful search has failed to show the date; nor has anything been found to show any facts in the history of either of his wives, except, that the second was a Widow Ketcham, and she was probably the same who survived him. The Last Will and Testament of Mr. Hen. Whitne of Norwocke, made the 5th of June Anno 1672, Revoking all former wills. I, Henery Whitnee being weake and crazy in body, but throwe mercy perfect in memory and vnderstanding; doe bequeath my body to the dust, and to be decently Interred; my Immortal Soul into the hands of my mercifull redeemer, with an assured hope of a Joyfull Resurrection vnto a blessed eternal life; being purchased by the pretios Blood and merrits of my dear Saueour.

| 24 | An adopted daughter of William Bissett's mother (Mrs. Bissett/Fitzgerald). Both of Waterbury, Queens Co. She is listed as widow age 62 in 1851 census. ELIZABETH WELDON BISSETT Elizabeth Weldon Bissett is age 61, a widow, in the 1851 census. J. Smith also notes in a footnote with the census information - Betsy Eliz. Weldon (Irish?), an adopted daughter of his mother (Mrs. Bissett/Fitzgerald). Both of Waterbury (Waterborough?), Queens Co. ** bhb - I assume that the BOTH is Elizabeth Weldon and her adopted mother. No mention of Mr. Fitzgerald. P.M. Toner's "An Index to Irish Immigrants in the 1851 New Brunswick Census" has the following entry: Bisset-Elizabeth, date of entry (blank), age 62, religion Bapt, N.B. location is Kingston. This would make Elizabeth Weldon Bissett born in 1790. J. Smith lists Elizabeth Weldon marriage date to William Bissett as March 29, 1804. This would make her 14/15/16. Her last recorded child is in 1837 when she would have been 46/47/48. Elizabeth Weldon Bissett lived in Waterbury (Waterborough), Queens Co. New Brunswick with Mrs. Bissett/Fitzgerald. She later moved to Chapel Grove, Kings Co., New Brunswick. Chapel Grove is also known as Whitehead. Elizabeth Weldon born 1790 and subsequent adopted by Mrs. Bissett/Fitzgerald. Both lived in Waterborough, Queens, Co., NB on the east side of Grand Lake. No further mention of Mr. Fitzgerald. Marries William Bissett in 1804 (assume at Waterborough). Thomas Bissett born 1805 - marries Mary Ann Russell in 1832 - died 1878 William Harding Bissett born 1808 - marries and lives in Dorchester, N.B. by 1838. Elizabeth Weldon Bissett moves to Chapel Grove, Kings. Co., NB by 1837. Elizabeth Weldon Bissett a widow by 1851 age 61. Thomas Bissett born 1805 had a number of children among them Thomas Vickery Bissett born in 1835 and Mary Ann Bissett Barbour born 1839. Thomas Vickery Bissett had a son Edward - born 1864 and died 1938. Edward was the last Bissett to live on the Chapel Grove property. Mary Ann Bissett Barbour also had a home on the Chapel Grove land. So the Chapel Grove property falls into Thomas Bissett's line. Mary Ann is the source of one of the family histories. Our other source is Alberta May Bissett born 1862 in Dorchester, NB. She is the daughter of William Harding Bissett who moves to Dorchester in 1838. Elizabeth Weldon Bissett would have been 48 years old. You will note that Alberta May was born 11 years AFTER the census of 1851 and lived her early life in Dorchester, NB. She has no first hand information like Mary Ann who was 12 in 1851 when Elizabeth Weldon was still alive. In fact it would be almost 25 years after the census of 1851, before Mary Ann at age 13 or 14 would have begun to know the family history. Being the youngest child, her father would be around age 70. William Harding Bissett died at age 82 when Alberta May was 28. By the very nature of these facts, Alberta May's account cannot be taken as the truth. However, I'm sure that it contains a grain of truth. The two independent genealogies both knew this generation and both list a Benjamin and 2nd Benjamin. The first drowned on the Kennebecasis River while skating. The second drowned on a fishing trip out of Gloucester, MA. (With the first dying on the Kennebecasis River - this puts them at Chapel Grove not Grand Lake at the time of Benjamin I death.) The 1851 Census of Kings County lists Elizabeth Bissett living there with her daughter Harriett and son Benjamin. She is listed as a Loyalist, 62 years old and British from birth. Her occupation is Prop. | Weldon, Elizabeth (I1215537044)

| 26 | Anne Bissett married Thomas Fitzgerald after the death of Andrew Bisset. It is not known where they were married. Thomas Fitzgerald of Philadelphia submitted a Loyalist claim in Shelburne, Nova Scotia. This claim was for 120 pounds. Bell has Thomas Fitzgerald arriving with the Spring Fleet in April, 1783 as one adult male, one adult female and one child over ten. Thomas Fitzgerald partitioned with Cornelius Dalley and 56 others for 10,200 acres of land at Grand Lake. He was granted 200A., lot 14 at Avon, Canning Parish, Queens Co., 3 June 1786. -(Vol 1, # 47) Avon is on Grand Lake near Minto and across from Bissett Point (Cumberland/Cox). In 1792 Isaac Bell and others deed 700 acres at Cumberland Point, Queens County to Thomas Fitzgerald. In 1793 Thomas Fitzgerald and wife Anne deed 350 acres at Cumberland Point to William Bissett. In 1799 Thomas and Ann Fitzgerald deed and mortgage to Bradford Gilbert and Thomas Hanford, 700 acres at Cumberland Point. In 1799 Thomas and Anne Fitzgerald deed to John Davis 200 acres at Grand Lake, Avon, Canning Parish, Queens Co. Lot 14. As told by Margaret3, William 2, Andrew 1 Back from the south and have found a old note that my mother typed. It relates to what her grandmother requested she write down. Her grandfather came from Scotland: went directly to Virginia in 1812, he was a Lieutenant in the War of 1812 and died there. His wife was a Perth from Scotland, they were watchmakers. Their son my grandmother's father settled in St. John for the winter; then went to Bissetts Point. He sold out there and settled up the Kennebecasis River at Chapel Grove. There were sixteen children: Benjamin who drowned while skating on the river; John a Sea Captain was lost while taking a ship laden with passengers and all else off Bermuda enroute to California. Elisha a sea Capt. was killed by his crew during a mutiny and buried at sea. He had assumed the name Thomas Elisha Whitney as a boy to allow him to ship out underage. He had promoted one of his men to 1st Mate and the crew ebelled resulting in his death. Charles went to the pearlfisheries in Australia and married there. His wife died at sea and he in Australia. He left his estate to his niece (perhaps Lida M.W.Ray) Five children died in infancy. There were three girls, Marion, Margaret(my grandmother) and Harriot.

| 30 | Background on Thomas Hewitt and his brothers: On the July 1917 Passenger Lists, Thomas Hewitt (12) appears with his younger brothers Harry (10) and James (8). They are accompanied by Lily Tate (34) and her sons John (11), George (8), Robert (6), and Walter (4). They come over from Liverpool to Halifax and they list their destination as Calgary, Alberta. All of them have been in Canada before. The Tates were in Calgary from 1910-1915, while the Hewitts appear in Calgary over the course of a few years: Thomas comes over in 1904, Harry in 1907, and James in 1909 (although this seems strange since both Walter Tate and James Hewitt are listed as having been born in Canada). They all return to England, it seems in 1915. From what I can tell, the Hewitt children's mother dies in 1915 and their father dies in 1916. The following year they all return to Calgary. This listing is almost definitely the Hewitts of Ruth's ancestry as the three Hewitt children are listed on the same ticket as the Tates. They rode abord a ship called the Olympic. John Tate (the eldest) was born 29 July 1905 in Yorkshire, England and died 9 March 1993. His parents were Robert William Tate and Lily Penney. Lily was Ethel Penney's sister. Family history suggests that after the Hewitt parents died, the children were taken in by the Tates. Like some bizarre fairy tale, however, Robert and Lily stole the Hewitt children's inheritance and spent it on their own children, leaving the Hewitt children to fend for themselves. | Hewitt, Thomas (I1215537460)

| 31 | Barnabo Visconti was born in 1309.2 He was the son of Stefano Visconti Herr v. Maitland and Violanta Doria.1 Barnabo Visconti married Beatrice Regina della Scala, daughter of Mastino della Scala Herr v. Verona and Taddea von Carrara, in 1350.3,1 Barnabo Visconti died in December 1385 at the fortress of Trezzo. Rumors of a planned marriage, on reaching Milan, provoked the most sensational coup of the age--the ousting of Bernabo by his supposedly quiet and retiring nephew Gian Galeazzo. Bernabo's marriage policy had for some time been cutting into Gian Galeazzo's sovereignty, owing to Bernabo's habit of giving away, as dowries, Visconti territories or their revenues to which the nephew had equal title-and without consulting him. The prospect of Bernabo's grand daughter on the throne of France, and a renewed prospect of Bernabo's daughter Lucia on the throne of Naples, threatened to cut into Gian Galeazzo's French support. Lucia reappeared when the Duchesse d'Anjou, who had never ceased nagging her French relatives to try once more for Naples, succeeded in obtaining a tentative promise "in favor" of the attempt, and accordingly sent for Lucia to complete the proxy marriage to her son. This combination of circumstances propelled Gian Galeazzo to action. In May 1385 he sent a message to his uncle saying that he was about to make a pilgrimage to the Madonna del Monte near Lago Maggiore and would be glad to meet with him outside Milan. His proposal seemed natural enough because Gian Galeazzo, though "subtle in intellect and wise in the ways of the world," was very devout, carrying a rosary and accompanied by monks wherever he went, and greatly concerned with penance and pilgrimage. He also relied on astrologers to select propitious moments for his decisions, and once refused to discuss a diplomatic matter at a particular time because, as he wrote his correspondent, "I observe astrology in all my affairs." These tastes and his apparent fear of his uncle, shown by doubling his guard and having all his food tasted, caused Bernabo to regard him with contempt. When a courtier, suspicious of Gian Galeazzo's message, warned of a possible plot, Bernabo scoffed. "You have little sense. I tell you I know my nephew." At age 76, after a lifetime of bullying, he was both overconfident and careless. Gian Galeazzo's plan depended on just that. With two of his sons, but otherwise unprotected, Bernabo rode to the rendezvous outside the gates. Gian Galeazzo, accompanied by a large bodyguard, dismounted, embraced his uncle and, while holding him tightly, called out an order in German, upon which one of his generals, the condottiero Jacopo del Verme, cut Bernabo's sword belt while another, crying "You are a prisoner!", seized his baton of office and took him in custody. Immediately Gian Galeazzo's forces galloped through Milan and occupied its strong points. Because of his reasonable government of Pavia, the populace was ready to welcome him as a deliverer, and greeted him with cries of "Viva il Conte!" followed by their first thought on removal of the tyrant, "Down with taxes! " To smooth the transition, Gian Galeazzo allowed the mob to sack Bernabo's palace and burn the tax registers. He reduced taxes as one of his first measures and made up the difference from Bernabo's hoard of gold. Legitimacy or its appearance was supplied by summoning a Grand Council to endow him with formal dominion and by sending a legal transcript of Bernabo's crimes to all states and rulers. The Milanese state was now controlled by a single ruler who was to loom ever larger as time went on. Bernabo's sons were neutralized, in the case of one by life imprisonment, in the case of the second by his own worthlessness, and by a lifetime pension for the third and youngest. The towns of Lombardy submitted uneventfully, and the tyrant himself was locked up in the fortress of Trezzo, where in December of the same year he died, supposedly poisoned by order of the usurper. Bernabo was buried in Milan with honors although without the baton of office, and his equestrian statue, already made at his design, was erected as he had planned.1,2 | Visconti, Barnabo (I1215537225)
