We are looking to make contact with the descendants of Samos C. Wilson & Mary I. Hawes, of Fitch Bay, Quebec.
Note: References are from Stanstead County Vital Statistics, compiled from the "Stanstead Journal."
Married: At the Methodist Parsonage, Stanstead, Apr 26, 1882, by Rev. J.T. Pitcher, Samos C. Wilson of Fitch Bay, to Mary I. (poss. Iris) Hawse of Barnston.
Died: Mrs. Samos C. Wilson died suddenly, Jan 27, 1900. She leaves a husband and 9 children, the youngest a babe only a few hours old.
Note: Samos C. Wilson was the son of Obadiah & Matilda Wilson of Fitch Bay, Quebec. Samos C. Wilson 2nd wife was Mrs. Nellie C. Down of North Troy, VT. Married near Ayer's Flat by Rev. G. W. Chapman, on Nov 4, 1802.
Some of the Children of Samos C. Wilson & Mary I. Hawse were:
Vera Wilson Probyn, Stanstead, QC.
Albert Wilson and his children, Earnest Wilson and Ronald Wilson of Fitch Bay.
Dennis Wilson of Westfield, MA, USA; and his children, Clayton Wilson of Wallingford, CT, USA; Daniel Wilson of Greenfield, MA, USA; and Robert Wilson of LeMesa, Calif, USA.
Wright Wilson of Fitch Bay, and his children: Lucy Markwell of Fitch Bay, and Russell H. Wilson, of Beebe.
Married: At Georgeville, Sep 28, 1940 by Rev. H.G. Rice, Miss Lucy Janet Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wright Wilson of Georgeville, to Pte. Stanley Markwell, son of Mr. & Mrs. Alfred Markwell of Baldwin's Mills,
Lucy was born Jan 13, 1918, place unknown. Stanley Alfred Markwell was born July 16, 1916, Baldwins Mills and died July 20, 1997, Fitch Bay, Quebec.
Their daughter, Janet Wilson, born March 22, 1944, Fitch Bay, married Sept 26, 1964, Fitch Bay, to Jerry Dion, born March 18, 1945, Stanstead, Quebec.
Janet is most likely the last living descendant of Mary I. Hawse. Mary I. Hawse (surname spelled both HawSE and HawES) was the youngest sister of my great-great-great grandfather, William Webster Hawse(es), of Hatley, Stanstead, QC.
Hope someone out there knows of any of these relatives and pass this on to them.
We would very much like to meet any of Mary's family and share family information.
