Surnames: Garvey, Morey
I am looking for any sourced information for John Garvey, my 3X great grandfather via Charles, Delbert and then my grandmother Aleta Garvey Morey. My information is that he was born in NY Oct 1879, married about 1810 in Ontario to Hannah, and died 16 Apr 1885. Hannah predeceased him on 23 March 1878.

Any information about siblings, parents, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What I found does not name where in the USA John Garvey was born, nor did I find the place in the USA where Hannah was born. It appears that John & Hannah did not live together, Hannah is found on the census living with one of her sons as is John. In 1812, John Garvey was living in Frontenac County, Pittsburgh Township and was in the Leeds County militia during the War of 1812. For his service, he received 100 acres of land in 1850 but I do not know where that land was located; perhaps, that is why they had moved to Haldimand County? I also did not find the parents of John Garvey nor Hannah's parents, although a tree is posted saying Hannah's maiden name was Patrick.

Someone has posted a tree:

Thank you so much for all the information! I had seen the census that showed John and Hannah living with separate children in their later years. I will print this out and study it along with what I have. I'm not sure where I got the NY as a birthplace for John Sr, probably some old family records. Once again, thank you for your help.
