112. Randal5 WIXSON (child of Joseph, #224);[396],[397] born 7 Mar 1799 at York (Toronto), York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada);[398],[399] married Annis Fenton (see #113), daughter of William Fenton and Sarah Lukens, 31 Aug 1826;[400] married Eliza Fuller 13 Nov 1859 at Sanilac Co., Michigan, United States of America; where Randal was divorced, and Eliza was widow of Colin Degeer (another of Mackenzie's rebels);[401] he and Annis Fenton were divorced; after Mackenzie's Rebellion under a special dispensation allowed by the government;[402] died 17 Nov 1870 at age 71.[398] Randal joined the First Baptist Church of Pickering, newly formed by his uncle Joshua, 2 Sep 1821.[403] 26 Jan 1822, Randal chosen to be an elder with his uncle Joshua in the First Baptist Church of Pickering.[404] He lived circa 1824 at East Gwillimbury Twp., York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); on his petition for a land grant, Randal also declared he was a schoolmaster, and was born in the town of York. His petition, in which he stated he was "desirous to improve a location of the waste lands", was submitted 4 Aug 1824.[405] Randal received his grant of 100 acres in Brock Township in 1824: the southern half of Con. 5, lot 5. It appears that he never completed his settlement duties (e.g. road clearing).[406] Randal purchased land in Brock Twp. near the village of Sunderland, Con. 6, lot 9's East half in 1829. The West half was acquired by his father's colleague Cornelius Hummerfelt in 1834.[407] He lived at Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); "after he moved there in the 1820's."[408] In 1832, he edited William Lyon Mackenzie's publication Colonial Advocate while Mackenzie was in England.[409] He was a newspaper man in 1833 at York (Toronto), York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada).[410] He lived in 1837 at Con. 6, lot 9, Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada).[411] He was imprisoned for his participation in the Upper Canada Rebellion, and sentenced to 14 years exile in Tasmania (then called Van Dieman's Land) on 18 Dec 1837 at York (Toronto), York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada).[412] Randal made a petition 10 Apr 1838, explaining his involvement in the uprising was limited to notifying neighbours of its preliminary gatherings. He also discussed the meeting of 2nd December where William Lyon Mackenzie addressed a crowd in Stouffville, and spoke of the uprising in Lower Canada, and the threat to Upper Canada. It was said his participation in the actual revolt was limited as he had only one leg.[413] On 20 Jun 1839, Randal addressed a letter to his father Joseph of Pickering Twp., written while in Newgate Prison, London, England. The letter outlines the efforts made on his behalf in Parliament to effect his release, and Randal's concern that 'something is wrong at home' and he asks why his father does not send any replies. The letter is supposedly the last in a series and ends with Randal's impending release in July 1839; signed "Randal Wixson."[414] It is said that in England, while Randal awaited shipment to Tasmania in 1839, he was released by the British Government, and on condition of that release he agreed not to return to Canada, but accepted exile in the United States.[415],[414] Randal settled in Sanilac Co., Michigan, around 1840, as did almost all of his siblings over the next decade.[416],[417] Randal's land in Con. 6, lot 9 W½ was sold-off by Sheriff Jarvis in 1847 to pay for the court-awarded settlement to Leon Suttoff due to an unpaid debt of 56 Pounds. The land was sold to Malcolm Gillespie. Four years later, adjoining lot 9 E½ was sold by Randal's father Joseph, to Samuel Wixson.[418] Randal served in the 2nd Michigan Cavalry during the American Civil War.[416] He and Eliza Fuller appeared on the census of 1860 at Lexington Twp., Sanilac Co., Michigan, United States of America; where Randal (61) was county clerk, and Louisa (45) and her children William J Degeer (19), Hugh Degeer (17), Caroline Degeer (13), Daniel Degeer (8), George E Degeer (6), Mary Ann Degeer (21) and her daughter Eliza Degeer (3) were present. [419] Children of Randal5 Wixson and Annis Fenton (see #113) were as follows: 56. i. Samuel4 Wixson. ii. Clarissa Wixson;[420],[420] born circa 1828 at Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada);[421],[422] married Richard Flewell.[423],[424] She and Richard Flewell appeared on the census of 1851 at Uxbridge Twp., Ontario Co., Canada West (Ontario), British North America (Canada); where Richard (40) was a farmer, and Clarisa (25), Mary Ann (14), William (12), Issabella (7), Thomas (6), Charles (3), and John (1) were present, also Clarissa's brother Robert Wixon (15).[425] She and Richard Flewell appeared on the census of 1881 at Uxbridge Twp., Ontario Co., Ontario, Canada; where Richard (70) a farmer, appears with Clarrisa (51), Rachel (23), Robert (20) a farmer, Walter (15), and Annis Wickson (71).[426],[427] iii.

Their names were Melvin (b.c. 1860) and Elmer (b.c. 1862).[444],[445] He began military service on 27 Aug 1862 at Detroit, Michigan, United States of America, with 1st Michigan Light Artillery, Battery "I", during the American Civil War.[446] Denis was wounded 17 June 1864 at Allatoona, Georgia.[446] "On the 17th. of June, the Battery was again engaged at Lost Mountain, with a loss of two severely wounded [inc. Denis Wixon]. Taking position on an elevation near Marietta, on the 21st., they remained there during nearly all of the operations around Kenesaw Mountain."[447] v.

The family lived in a one-story log home on 2 acres, and had a cow valued at $20.[467] She appeared on the census of 1871 at Uxbridge, Ontario Co., Ontario, Canada; where Annis Wickson (female) was aged 62, b.

Friends of deceased will meet at her late residence at 1 o'clock, on Tuesday the 30th inst., and proceed to the Friend's Burying Ground, Quaker Hill."[472] On 12 Mar 1888, Esther Wiggins (nee.

118. Charles5 KEELER (child of Robert, #236);[523],[524] born circa 1802 at Hockering Parish, Co. Norfolk, England;[525],[526],[527],[528] married Rebecca Frost (see #119), daughter of Thomas Frost and Rebecca (--?--), 1824 at England;[529],[530],[531] died 11 Aug 1872 at Manilla, Ontario Co., Ontario, Canada.[532],[533] He and Rebecca Frost emigrated circa 1836 to Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); Charles Keeler, his wife Rebecca and children, Hannah, Rebecca, Ann and Martha, all came to Canada as part of an "Assisted Immigration Scheme", sponsored in part by their church. (See documents in Keeler file.) Further, the Keeler family left England on May 6, 1836 on the ship "Eurus", bound for Montreal. On arrival in Montreal, they were given 'Landing Money' that was supposed to take them to their final destination. It appears that the money was sufficient only to get the family to Maitland, (just east of Kingston).[534],[535] "According to the Memoir of Rebecca Keeler, they spent the first 8 years of their Canadian life at Brogwelle [prob. Brockville], near Kingston. According to the "Memoirs", they then moved to the Township of Mariposa. I can find no record of where they lived (if they lived) in Mariposa. I know that they took possession of their farm at Lot 21, C. 6, on November 7, 1856. Their intervening years are as yet unaccounted for. Hugh McDonald of Sunderland, (another genealogist), said that Charles was a circuit rider out of Bowmanville, and used to ride a horse to Manilla every couple of weeks, and preach at that location. Again, I can find no proof of this. Charles and Rebecca had a total of 9 children, and are buried in the old Cemetery in Manilla, where their grave markers are in remarkably good shape."[536] He and Rebecca Frost may have lived in 1837 at Con. 9, lot 9, Markham Twp., York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); as renters.[537],[538] In 1856, Charles Keeler and Rebecca Frost lived at Con. 6, lot 21, Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Canada West (Ontario), British North America (Canada), having purchased the land on 7 Nov and arrived from elsewhere in Brock Twp.

The family lived in a 1½ story log home on 185 acres. 57 acres were cultivated in wheat, peas, oats, potatoes, turnips, hops and hay, 110 acres were wooded, and 18 acres was pasture. The farm also produced cloth, flannel, butter, beef, and pork.[542] He appeared on the census of 1871 at Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Ontario, Canada; where Charles (69) was a farmer, born in England, a Bible Christian and widower.

Norfolk, England;[525],[563],[564],[528] married Charles Keeler (see #118), son of Robert Keeler and Mary Butt, 1824 at England;[529],[530],[531] died 30 Jun 1862 at Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Canada West (Ontario), British North America (Canada), at age 58.[565],[566] She has also been referred to as Rebecca Frase but this is now believed to be incorrect.[567] She and Charles Keeler emigrated circa 1836 to Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); Charles Keeler, his wife Rebecca and children, Hannah, Rebecca, Ann and Martha, all came to Canada as part of an "Assisted Immigration Scheme", sponsored in part by their church. (See documents in Keeler file.) Further, the Keeler family left England on May 6, 1836 on the ship "Eurus", bound for Montreal. On arrival in Montreal, they were given 'Landing Money' that was supposed to take them to their final destination. It appears that the money was sufficient only to get the family to Maitland, (just east of Kingston).[534],[535] "According to the Memoir of Rebecca Keeler, they spent the first 8 years of their Canadian life at Brogwelle [prob. Brockville], near Kingston. According to the "Memoirs", they then moved to the Township of Mariposa. I can find no record of where they lived (if they lived) in Mariposa. I know that they took possession of their farm at Lot 21, C. 6, on November 7, 1856. Their intervening years are as yet unaccounted for. Hugh McDonald of Sunderland, (another genealogist), said that Charles was a circuit rider out of Bowmanville, and used to ride a horse to Manilla every couple of weeks, and preach at that location. Again, I can find no proof of this. Charles and Rebecca had a total of 9 children, and are buried in the old Cemetery in Manilla, where their grave markers are in remarkably good shape."[536] She and Charles Keeler may have lived in 1837 at Con. 9, lot 9, Markham Twp., York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); as renters.[537],[538] In 1856, Rebecca Frost and Charles Keeler lived at Con. 6, lot 21, Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Canada West (Ontario), British North America (Canada), having purchased the land on 7 Nov and arrived from elsewhere in Brock Twp. Lot 21 remained in the Keeler family until being subdivided in 1957.[539],[540],[541] She and Charles Keeler appeared on the census of 1861 at Con. 6, lot 21, Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Canada West (Ontario), British North America (Canada); where Charles (58) was a farmer, Bible Christian, born England. Wife Rebecca (58), Charles (21), William (19), Mary Ann (17) and John (12) were present. The family lived in a 1½ story log home on 185 acres. 57 acres were cultivated in wheat, peas, oats, potatoes, turnips, hops and hay, 110 acres were wooded, and 18 acres was pasture. The farm also produced cloth, flannel, butter, beef, and pork.[542]
