Dear Maureen,
Mary Ann Goheen, who married James Elliott in Michigan, was born in Ontario about 1842. She was the daughter of Charles Goheen (1819-1850) and Elizabeth Boyd. She was the eldest of three; she and her brothers, James Thomas (1845-1916) and Charles (1848-1934) were all quite young when their father died. The young widow took her three small children home to her father, Robert Boyd, and lived with him. He was incapacitated by the loss of a leg in the Napoleonic wars. Living on a nearby farm with his four children was a young widower, Robert Beggs. They married and had five more children. They built a large stone house a few miles north of Port Hope, Ontario, a home for their large brood.
It still stands.
Their second youngest, Elizabeth Ann Beggs, married William Henry Goheen, and so, became my grandmother.
And so, Maureen, if you are descended from Mary Ann Goheen, we are double cousins! If you are interested, I can give you more information about Mary Ann Goheen.
Best wishes to you, and all Goheen cousins everywhere! Please note my new e-mail address - agoheen@rogers.com.

Allan,
How nice to receive your note! My husband descends from William Elliott, brother of your James Elliott, and Jane Marshall.

Would you please share with me the birth and death dates of Merila, Hannah, Hansen, Emma, Carrie, George and John, children of James and Mary?

Do you have the birthplace of James Elliott (1795 - 1977)? I have Crodeghan, Co Fermanagh, IRE, but cannot locate the town.

Nice to hear from you,
Maureen

Maureen,

I have no further information on the Elliott family: mine is of the several branches of the Goheens. Mary Ann Goheen is the great ganddaughter of Thomas Goheen Sr. (b. BenSalem, PA in 1753). He came from Pennsylvania to Upper Canada (now Ontario) after 1783 along with approximately 11,000 other United Empire Loyalists plus up to 2,000 Mohawks. They then comprised most of the population of Ontario.

Over the next 50 years, many moved on west to Michigan as it was opening up at that time. I am sure that James and Mary met in Ontario, and were married in Michigan after his family migrated there.

If Crodeghan still exists, it is not on my map of County Fermanagh either. Nor can I find Charne in Lorraine, the traditional home of the Gohins in France, although there is a Charmes on the Oise River near Nancy. The spelling may have changed over the last 450 years, as Gohin(Fr)>Guiheen(Ire)>Goheen(US & Can).

Happy hunting!

Al.
