Cornelius was married to Jerusha Dodge, had 4 sons, Sidney, Cephas, Wm, Syrenious. Do not know what happened to Cornelius, story is he died at sea as he was possibly a sailor. Jerusha remarried John Abrey who also is a dead end if anybody has any history on him. Born in England, came over with the 32nd infantry. I have a picture of Jeremiah, George (Johns sons) and Cyrus ? I have read some message boards who refer to Syrenious and Cyrus as the same person. Can anybody help?

Re: Cornelius BURLEY , DODGE. Jerusha, ABREY, John
Jerusha birth 1819 possibly Halifax, can't find any more than that. Sidney b 1841, Cephas 1842, Wm 1843, Syrenious 1846. All born in Ontario, Canada. Syrenious and Sidney farmed in the US. Wm went to Manitoba and half brother Jeremiah followed. John was born in England anywhere from 1807-1811? After first marrying in 1848 they lived near Lindsay, Ontario. Jerusha died in Earnestown. I have not found John or Cornelius deaths.

1861 census Lennox and Addington AVERY Jerusha, b Upper Canada, 43, Weslayan Methodist Jeremiah, b UC, 12 George, b UC, 9 Eliza, b UC, 6 William, 17, UC, tinsmith Someone has entered a note re William that he was a son by previous marriage. Name being Burley. There is also a Wm Burley, 18, entered on 1861 census in Lennox and Addington who looks like could be an apprentice tinsmith to John Rook, tinsmith, or working for him. Double entries on early census was not uncommon. If Jeremiah is an Avery then Cornelius died before 1848/49 and John Abrey died before 1861. I didn't find any death information on either Cornelius or John Abrey on Ancestry.ca but registration didn't begin until 1869.
Did not find Jerusha on 1851 census but some of that has been lost or destroyed. There is a J Burley on the agricultural census but no personal information is given.
There is a daughter Louisa Marie Abrey b 1856 re her marriage and death registrations so John was alive around that time.
1851 census Lennox and Addington has a Sidney Burley, 11, living with Edward Breaw and family.
1871 Verulam Victoria South Ontario Jeremiah Abrey, 21; William Burley 26; Derusha Abrey,52, widow.

The Frontenac was a newspaper? Can anybody have access to it? This query all started bc I have a picture of Jeremiah, George Abrey (brothers) and Cyrus ? They all look a like and all dressed up but we cannot figure Cyrus's last name. Thought he was a Burley n was thinking maybe Syrenious and I found in one census where it was spelled Cyrenious. I discovered lots of Cyrus's out there but not with parents Cornelius and Jerusha. Thanks for all your help. You sure are fast, might have to take lessons haha.
