112. Randal5 WIXSON (child of Joseph, #224);[434],[435] born 7 Mar 1799 at York (Toronto), York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada);[436],[437] married Annis Fenton (see #113), daughter of William Fenton and Sarah Lukens, 31 Aug 1826;[438] 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);[439] he and Annis Fenton were divorced; after Mackenzie's Rebellion under a special dispensation allowed by the government;[440] died 17 Nov 1870 at age 71.[436] Randal joined the First Baptist Church of Pickering, newly formed by his uncle Joshua, 2 Sep 1821.[441] 26 Jan 1822, Randal chosen to be an elder with his uncle Joshua in the First Baptist Church of Pickering.[442] 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.[443] 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).[444] 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.[445] He lived at Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada); "after he moved there in the 1820's."[446] In 1832, he edited William Lyon Mackenzie's publication Colonial Advocate while Mackenzie was in England.[447] He was a newspaper man in 1833 at York (Toronto), York Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada).[448] He lived in 1837 at Con. 6, lot 9, Brock Twp., Ontario Co., Upper Canada (Ontario), British North America (Canada).[449] 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).[450] 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.[451] Randal and 23 other "Canadian Rebels" were transported aboard the barque Captain Ross, leaving Quebec 22 Nov, arriving Liverpool 19 Dec, 1838.[452] 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."[453] 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.[454],[453] Randal settled in Sanilac Co., Michigan, around 1840, as did almost all of his siblings over the next decade.[455],[456] 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.[457] Randal served in the 2nd Michigan Cavalry during the American Civil War.[455] 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.
