"Thank you. This makes sense. I knew there were Mohawks in the area, but after I posted this, I found out they had one large reservation in the south part of the township."

N.R. on 1878 map of Hungerford twp, Hastings county
There are many properties on the 1878 map of Hungerford which show only the initials N.R. although there is lots of room to write the full name. I am wondering if this abbreviation stands for Native Reservation. See More

JoAnn Adele replied to MistyKess's discussion Death Information on Tony Griffor in the group Ontario Genealogy"If you want to check City Directories, you have to go to a library near where you think he might have lived and check their old directories.

JoAnn Adele replied to MistyKess's discussion Death Information on Tony Griffor in the group Ontario Genealogy"Have you checked City directories, or Voters Lists? Voters Lists are available from 1935 to 1983. Of course, he would not be on the Voters Lists unless he stayed long enough to be naturalized. Did you check the 1940 US census to…"
JoAnn Adele replied to Peake's discussion Charles Flavins Hopkins in the group Ontario Genealogy"I have found a number of death records for children in Simcoe county where there is no birth record and I have had to accept the death record as a substitute for the birth record.

JoAnn Adele replied to Peake's discussion Charles Flavins Hopkins in the group Ontario Genealogy"Where have you looked for the birth record? I believe the 1910 records are now available at local libraries, although they are not yet indexed, so you have to search through, but with an exact date of birth, this should not be too hard.…"

Let's take it one step at a time. His baptism first, which should give his parents. Once you've got that, which may not be easy, you can move on to his siblings,…"

STEPHENS, Shadrack 1761-1837
Born 1761 in Wales for certain. Possibility of Radnorshire. I have muster records for him in the american Revolution, He joined in South Carolina when he was 17, in 1778. No other Stephens were in the South Carolina Loyalists. From this I am guessing that he was sent from Wales with a boatload of orphans when he was between the age of 8 and 12, and went to work with an unrelated family. He was a POW in North Carolina for the last 22 months of the war. Sent to New York State at the conclusion…See More
