Lemuel Crabb m. Sarah Lounder, and probably was Ann's brother-in-law. His cousin, Charles Crabb, m. Eleanor Ann McKiel; possibly Joseph's sister.
My own interest comes were Mary Owens McKeil, a daughter of Joseph and Ann, married George Thomas Flewelling; the Flewelling's being my area of interest. Of George and Mary I wrote:
42NJ. GEORGE THOMAS FLEWELLING
George Thomas Flewelling b. 31MAY1826, bpt. Oak Point 29OCT1826, d. 20OCT1875 aet. 50, bur. Brown’s Flat Baptist Church Cem., Westfield Parish, Kings Co., NB, m. Saint John, Saint John Co., NB (SJMR Book E, 139) 11SEP1854 Mary Owens McKeil (b. ca. 1829-30; 18JUN1829 in 1901 when she was living with her son, Edmund as ’Mary E. Flewelling’), d/o Joseph and Ann Margaret (Lounder) McKeil.
In the 1861 census of Greenwich Parish, Kings Co., NB a Methodist, age 34. Children: Duncan b. ca. 1856 and Edmund b. ca. 1859.
In the 1871 census of Greenwich Parish, a farmer, Wesleyan Methodist, age 43. Children: Duncan D. b. ca. 1856, Edmond H. b. ca. 1860, Ann J. b. ca. 1866 and Berniece Z. b. ca. 1869.
In 1881 census of Greenwich (PAC C-13180), Mary O., widow, age 52 (b. ca. 1829), Wesleyan Methodist. Children: Duncan D. b. ca. 1856, Edmond H. b. ca. 1860, Annie J. b. ca. 1866 and Bernice Z. b. ca. 1869.
In 1891 census of Greenwich Parish (PAC T-6301, pp. 17-18), Duncan D. Flewelling farmer and Methodist age 34 (b. ca. 1856) with wife, Alice b. ca. 1863. Children: Maggie Lulu b. ca. 1884, Maria Elizabeth b. ca. 1886, Clarence George b. ca. 1888 and Ethel Bernice b. ca. 1890. Nearby is Edward Horatio Flewelling (presumably, Edmond H.) b. ca. 1860 farmer, Methodist, not married. With him is Mary Owens Flewelling, his widowed mother b. ca. 1830 and Annie Jane Flewelling b. ca. 1866, described as a lodger, but presumably his sister.
In the 1851 census of Greenwich Parish (1851 Census For Kings County, New Brunswick, Julia M. Walker and Margaret G. Duplisea, Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB, 1979, Vol. 1, p. 107) George (age 24) appears with his father. In the same census (pp. 118-119) are several McKiel or McKeil (the spelling varies) families, including three with the name James McKiel. One of these is being visited by “Eloner†Owens (b. ca. 1822.) In the home of Joseph (b. ca. 1800) and Ann (b. ca. 1801) McKiel, amongst other children, is their daughter, Mary (b. ca. 1829); presumably the future wife of George Thomas Flewelling. In, Kings County Marriage Register, Vol. 1, 1812 to 1828, Cleadie B. Barnett, privately, Oromocto, NB, 1980, is an entry # 84 (pg. 84 of the original?) which reports that Amasa Owen, a carpenter of Kingston Parish, married 17OCT1819 Mary McKeel of Greenwich Parish. The suggestion from these two sources is that Eleanor Owens was a daughter of the marriage, visiting cousins and such in Greenwich Parish in 1851, that Mary (“McKeelâ€) “Owen†was possibly an aunt, at least a namesake of Mary Owens McKeil.
At a site, Family Tree of McKeel/McKiel, by Gordon K. Miller, at:
http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/gordmill/McKiel.htmmuch of this guesswork is supported. According to this site, Mary Owen McKiel b. 1829, m. George Thomas Flewelling, was the d/o Joseph McKiel, Jr. and Ann Margaret Lounder. The line continues:
Joseph McKiel, Jr. m. Greenwich Parish, Kings Co., NB 15OCT1823 Ann Margaret Lounder, d/o Thomas H. and Eleanor Lounder (in 1851 census of Greenwich Parish, “Ellener†is a widow, b. ca. 1780, Irish, arrived NB 1787, living with her son, Benjamin Lounder.) He, indeed, had a sister Mary, although whom she married is not given. He was the s/o:
Joseph McKiel b. 1750, d. 1816, m. Anna Burtis (b. 1757, d. 1845), a Loyalist who was s/o:
John Mekeel m. Martha Haight, of Crumpond, Courtland Manor, Fishkill, Dutchess Co., NY, and s/o:
Hendrick McKeel/Mekeel m. Jane _____, who was s/o
Reyer Michielsen b. 1653, d. 1733 (Used surname McKeel (1698), also Mekeel) m 1686 Jacomia Tiebout; and who was s/o
Michiel Bastiensen Van Kortnijk, b. Leerdam, Netherlands, s/o Sebastien Van Kortrijk of West Vlaanderen,Belgium and Leerdam,Netherlands.
all of which suggests that the McKiels/McKeils may not want to celebrate their Gaelic heritage just yet.
Their children were:
42NJ1. DUNCAN DUNBAR FLEWELLING b. 4JUN1860 (1901 census, others give ca. 1856), m. Saint John, Saint John Co., NB 28MAR1882 (SJMR Vol. J, 190 PANB F-27) ALICE MARION LOUNDER (b. 17AUG1859 (ca. 1863)), (possibly a maternal cousin?, possibly a d/o Benjamin and Catherine Lounder?)
42NJ2. EDMUND HORATIO FLEWELLING b. 19APR1860 (19AUG1860 in 1901), d. 14MAR1917, bur. Brown’s Flat Baptist Church Cem., Westfield Parish, Kings Co., NB, m. Saint John Co., NB 18DEC1894 CLARA A. SMITH (b. 16FEB1870, d. 18OCT1895, bur. Brown’s Flat Baptist Church Cem., Westfield Parish, Kings Co., NB), possibly the Edmund H. Flewelling who m. Saint John Co., NB Jesse Sutton.
