I assume they died between the 1861 and the 1871 census, in Euphemia Township. From what listings I can find they are buried in the "new" Fansher Cemetery in district 17. That is where they had settled. I do not have death dates. Mary was Mary Fancher/Fansher and I have seen the brief reference to them moving with her father, David Fansher to Lambton Co. I have followed two of their sons and their descendants. John B. Brackett moved to and lived here in Michigan and Martin moved here briefly and then on to British Coloumbia, CA. Both John B. and Martin have marriage records here in Allegan Co. Michigan. I also see their son Newman Brackett in subsequent Ontario census records and it appear he never married. It is John B. Brackett that I believe is my gg-grandfather. Are death records from that time period available?

Thank you for your time and efforts in supplying me with this detailed reply. The additional facts will be added to my files. I know Jonathan and Mary (Fancher) Brackett died there in Lambton Co. likely between the 1861 and 1871 census. Are there death records from that time period. They are buried in the "new" Fansher cemetery in district 17. I do not have exact death dates for them. They were associated with the Methodist Episocpal church that used to be next to thar cemetery.

Government registration did not begin until 1869 so they likely wouldn't have been registered.
The church records would be your best bet. I think some of the Methodist records are in the United Church Archives in Toronto.
Google them for the site.

Jonathan Brackett was my 4th great-grandfather. I've traced his family back to Richard Brackett (Brockett) - my 11th great-grandfather, who was born in England in 1550. see 'Ross Family Tree'.

Alexander's son, Clifford, was my great-grandfather who lived to be 105. My son, Grant, was his first great-great-grandchild and though we lived in Ontario and he was in BC my son still had the opportunity to meet him a few times.

lots of info here:

Elizabeth died June 17, 1875 in Ontario. Martin married 1 or 2 more times before moving to the West Coast and he went between the US and Canada. So apparently did the family I believe it was Michigan.

Their son was James Alexander Brackett and he married Margaret Thatcher. Their oldest (William Ross) was born in Ontario and then they moved to British Columbia where their other children were born.

I was contacted about Jonathan Brackett and his family history.
