(age 1), came to Northumberland Co., Upper Canada, from New York or Connecticut
about 1798. They were some of the pioneering settlers of Durham Co., Ontario,
Canada. If this connection is accurate, the Abbey ancestry can be connected
through their father Isaac Abbe all the way back to John Abbe, born about 1587
in West Halton, Lincolnshire, England. His son, John Abbe, Jr. of Norwich,
Norfolk Co., England emigrated to the United States about 1635 and married Mary

It is surmised that brothers
Nathaniel (age 28) and Isaac
Abbey (age 27) and, along with their sister Dorcas Abbey (age
26) and their nephew Clement Neff (age 10?) came to Northumberland Co., Ontario,
Canada West from New York about 1798. They were some of the pioneering settlers
of Durham Co., Ontario, Canada. If this connection is accurate, the Abbey
ancestry can be connected through their father Isaac Abbe all the way back to John Abbe, born about 1587 in West Halton, Lincolnshire, England. His son, John Abbe,
Jr. of Norwich, Norfolk Co., England emigrated to the United States about
1635 and married Mary Loring in 1635 at Wenham, Essex Co., MA.
Leslie Wilson of Canada has
provided the following information.
The 1851 Charles and Oliver
were sons of Isaac Abbey & Lucinda Bradley, and grandsons of Nathaniel Abbey b
1773/74 NY d 1825/26 Hope & Mary____ b Apr 11 1777 d Mar 29 1869. If you
recall, Lucinda Bradley was the daughter of Dorcas Abbey (believed to be a
sister of Nathaniel #1 and his brother Isaac) and Oliver Bradley. Isaac Abbey,
brother of the 1773/74 - 1825/26 Nathaniel Abbey, had no surviving issue.
Lucinda & her husband Isaac did not help matters because they named the boys,
Charles Oliver Abbey and Oliver Nathaniel Abbey!!!
It has been argued that Isaac
Abbey, husband of Anne, was the father of Dorcas Abbey-Bradley and Nathaniel
Abbey #1. This is possible, but there are many circumstantial factors that
argue equally that he was their brother.
1) The Abbey men were not long
lived - average age of death (and yes, I removed the ones who were killed in the
Civil War to come up with this) - about 50.
2) In the 1790s, very few men
over the age of 50, without a housefull of strong sons and daughters between the
ages of 14 and 21, took up homesteading in Upper Canada.
3) When Isaac died sometime
between March of 1813 and March of 1814, it seems he died intestate - and the
property did not pass to Nathaniel Abbey Sr. but rather to David King Bradley
and Nathaniel Abbey Jr. If Nathaniel #1 had been Isaac's son, by British law it
would have passed to the son. But Isaac died - without heirs it seems - so it
passed to the two eldest male heirs of Dorcas Abbey-Bradley and Nathaniel Abbey,
they being David King Bradley and Nathaniel Abbey Jr.
4) I suspect Isaac died of a
disease that entered local lore as the Spotted Plague. It seems to have affected
only those in the prime of life - two teenage boys died, everybody else was in
their forties and fifties. Most were male.
This was not small pox - that
had swept through the area in 1811, the people were familiar with it and of
those who remained, most had acquired an immunity to it. This disease was
especially virulent - death occured within 7 days of contact, the victim
remained lucid until the end - the body swelled and large purple spots, like
bruises, appeared all over the body within 24 hrs of death. Believe it or not,
I was able to find a specialist in weird epidemic diseases (he once worked for
the Atlanta Centre for Disease Control) who agreed to take on the project of
finding out what this plague was. It only affected those living in Hope Twp,
the only exception was a man from Hamilton Twp who had been called to the death
bed of one of the victims to notarize the will. I expected Mr Lamb would take
at least a month or two to work out a possible cause - he came back in less than
48 hours with the answer - a disease endemic to flying squirrels, carried from
them to humans by lice. The first case appeared in early February - by the end
of April, it had petered out. When I asked him how certain he was about this
being the cause, his reply was: "99 percent, and you can quote me".
The scenario is that the men
were out cutting down trees (this still is winter time work in southern Ontario),
the boys found a downed tree with a litter of young flying squirrels, took them
home and divided them up amongst their friends. The lice on the squirrels
spread from person to person.
The disease cannot be passed by
sputum or touching feces or urine of an infected person or squirrel - it must be
introduced into the blood stream by an infected louse, and only a louse, not a
flea or mosquito.
Anyway - I digress, although
that is the sort of stuff my book is about, not the genealogy. The genealogies
are needed to discover the whys and wherefores of the movements and interactions
of this 1793-1813 group of people.

The United
Empire Loyalists
When peace was established in 1783, many
thousands of Loyalists, who were referred to as Tories by their fellow
countrymen, left the newly created United States. They started their lives
afresh under the British flag in Nova Scotia and in the unsettled lands above
the St. Lawrence rapids and north of Lake Ontario.
This huge influx of settlers, who were known
in Canada and England as the United Empire Loyalists, marked the first major
wave of immigration by English-speaking settlers since the days of New France. Their arrival had two immediate consequences for the British colonies.
Both the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia and the inland colony of Quebec
had to be reorganized.
The previously unsettled forests to the west
of the Bay of Fundy, once part of French Acadia, had been included in Nova
Scotia. In 1784 this area was established as a separate colony known as New
Brunswick. Cape Breton Island was simultaneously separated from Nova Scotia (a
division that was ended in 1820). In all, some 35,000 Loyalist immigrants are
believed to have settled in the Maritimes.
The settlement of the more inaccessible lands
north and west of Lake Ontario and along the north shore of the upper St.
Lawrence proceeded somewhat more slowly. About 5,000 Loyalists came to this
area.
Upper and Lower Canada
It was clear that these United Empire
Loyalists who had come to the western wilderness of what was still part of
Quebec would not long be satisfied with the limited rights and French laws
established by the Quebec Act. Accordingly, in 1791 the British Parliament
enacted the Constitutional Act, whereby Quebec was split into the two provinces
of Upper and Lower Canada. Each of these was to be governed by a legislative
council appointed for life and a legislative assembly elected by the people.
The right to be
represented in a lawmaking assembly was something new for the French-speaking
inhabitants of the lower province. Legislative assemblies had been in existence
in Nova Scotia since 1758, in Prince Edward Island
since 1773, and in New Brunswick since 1786. Representative government, however,
was not responsible government, as was to be demonstrated before another 50
years had passed.
CANADA WEST DISTRICTS, COUNTIES & TOWNSHIPS OF 1846
In 1842 Upper and Lower Canada united to form
the Province of Canada.
Upper Canada
(present-day Ontario) became known as Canada West while Lower
Canada (present day Quebec) became known as Canada East.
Canada West was divided into twenty districts,
which are then subdivided into counties, ridings and townships. The districts
varied greatly in size, with the Western District containing 29 townships and
the Prince Edward District containing 6.
As large districts were settled, and
populations grew, smaller districts were formed from one large one. Colborne
District was formed from Newcastle District; Simcoe District was formed from
Home District and Huron District was formed from London District.
Townships also varied in size, with some as
large as 90,000 acres and others as small as 20,000. Most townships were laid
out in square blocks but some were not - and their divisions are beyond
description. The townships are divided into concessions, generally running east
to west, and north to south. However when a river ran through a township, the
lots were laid out to face the river, no matter what direction that was.
Concessions were generally divided into lots of 200 acres each, and half lots of
100 acres each.
Almost half the surveyed lands of Upper Canada
were purchased after 1818 from native tribes.

The first census we have
is the 1803 census. At this time the population of Haldimand is 312 persons and
there are three Bradley households enumerated. The households are those of
Nathan Bradley with 9 family members, William Harden Bradley with 3 family
members and Lemuel H. Bradley with 3 family members. We know from other research
that Nathan Bradley is married to Elizabeth Harden, William Bradley is married
to Deborah Tripp and Lemuel Bradley is married to Catherine Waite. Both the
Tripp and Waite families were prominent families in Haldimand who also came to
Canada from the USA after the American Revolution. Furthermore, we know from
this census that Nathan and Elizabeth have 3 male children less than 16 years of
age (likely Hamilton; Nathan and an unknown male child), 3 female children under
16 years of age (likely Susanna; Hannah and Mary) and one male child over 16
years of age (likely Oliver). We also know that William and Deborah have only
one child, a female under 16 years of age (likely Lucinda or Lucina), whereas,
Lemuel and Catherine have one child, male under 16 years of age (likely Sisson).
The format of succeeding
census follows this same pattern.

The 1804 census adds an Oliver Bradley family consisting only
of Oliver and his wife. It can also be noted that the Nathan Bradley family
decreases by one in the category of males over 16 years of age in this census.
Therefore, it stands to reason that Oliver was the son of Nathan enumerated as
the male child over 16 years of age that was listed in the 1803 census. The
number of male children increases by one and I have assumed this represents the
birth of Hiram. We can further make an educated guess at the birth year of
Oliver. Assuming he was 18-20 years of age when he married, his birth year would
be 1786-1788. What was the name of Oliver’s wife? It will be shown later (1822
census) that a Bradley widow – named Dorcas Bradley is enumerated
and Oliver no longer appears in any later census returns. I have assumed that
Oliver’s wife’s name is Dorcas Abbey
and not Brown as reported in the family Bible of Irene Price of Kentucky.

In the 1805 census we can see that there is a shift in
category on the female side. I believe this represents the capture of the age of
Hannah who was reported to have been born 1790. The remaining female is I
believe Mary who was born in 1791. We can also see the families of William and
Lemuel increase. In the case of William’s family the additional male child
probably represents the birth of Abraham or Abram. In the case of Lemuel’s
family we cannot identify the name of the additional female child.

Examination of the 1806 census reveals that Oliver and Dorcas
now have a son less than 16 years of age. I take this to represent the birth of
Levi Bradley and to have occurred between April of 1805 and April of 1806. We
also see the reduction of one female in the adult category from Nathan’s family.
This could mean that a marriage took place since the last census --- possibly
the marriage of Hannah.

The 1807 census shows an
increase of a male child in Nathan’s family. This is likely the birth of
Sylvanus, which is recorded as Apr. 1807.
The April 1807 census
shows us that Oliver now has another child, a female under the age of 16 years
of age. Unfortunately, we do not know the name of this child.
The 1808 census shows us another male child born to Oliver
and Dorcas. We might assume this child is Isaac. We can note also that by the
1808 census the infant female child no longer appears raising the possibility
that she died in infancy. We also see Lemuel’s family increase by one male under
16 years of age.

In the 1809 census we note that William’s family increases by
1 female child and Lemuel’s family increases by 1 female child but drops 1 male
child. This may be the case of another infant or child death. In the 1810 census
we see that one of Nathan’s female children moves into the category age 16 to 60
years. We do not know the name of this child but it may be Mary.

The census of 1815 shows an addition of a George Bradley
family consisting of 3 persons. George Bradley, his wife and a female child
under the age of 16. Also note that the family of Nathan Bradley decreases by
one male over the age of 16 years in this census. It is reasonable to assume
then that George is a son of Nathan and Elizabeth.

Note that the April 1816 census reports that the Nathan
Bradley family has one male over the age of 60. This would be Nathan himself and
thus we can place his birth year at 1754 or 1755.
