Elmer Quail Pixley was my grandfather's (George Lionel Blake) cousin. What kind of information are you lacking?

Hi Linda,
Thank you for your reply. I am trying to find info on the Quails and Rutledge families in Ontario. Grandpa Elmer Quail's grandmother was Anne or Anna Rutledge and I don't have much info on her or her family. Where do the Blake's fit in??
Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Catherine

Hi Catherine,
I saw your request for Pixley family info on a message board from 2009 and thought I’d answer as there are some coincidences.

I don’t know much about my family history and my father, Burnett Quail Pixley, died in a tragic accident 12 years ago, but here’s what I know.
It appears that I am related to Elmer Quail Pixley. My paternal grandfather’s name was George Stanley Pixley. He emigrated to Canastota, NY from a cheese and farming family outside of Kingston. George Stanley married Phyllis Ruby Bradshaw. George practiced medicine in Canastota out of his family practice/home until his death in the 70s. George and Phyllis had two sons: One was my father—BURNETT QUAIL PIXLEY. He went to Tufts University in Boston and became a cardiologist and later a US diplomat. My paternal Uncle was Shibley Pixley, who lived outside of Rochester, NY for most of his life. He is dead.

I am Christopher George Pixley, middle name of my grandfather, George. I have a son named Cody Burnett Pixley, middle named after his grandfather.

In the 70s I used to go back to the family farm area and stay to work on the farm. The farm was owned by Doug Pixley, who was a cousin.

So, given the name trees, I am sure that Elmer Quail is related to my family. What is driving your interest? Perhaps we can discuss and compare notes, as I would also like to know more about my family history.

Rutlege rings a bell. I will ask my mother for more info if you are still curious.

Hi Chris, I was so happy to hear from you, thank you for replying to my message board message.
I am Jack Pixley s daughter. I am an only child. When I was a very young child I lived with my grandparents Elmer Quail Pixley and Mary Ann Martin. They had a gift shop on Danforth Ave. in Toronto, Ontario. Grandma Pixley died of a major stroke I believe while working in the store.. At the time my Grandpa Elmer was in hospital with prostate cancer and died a while after. I hadn't lived with them for years as my parents divorced. My father (Jack) had a very serious drinking problem. In his 40's he come down with MS again and died in 1974 from cancer of the throat.
I remember vagly being introduced to some of my relatives from around Rochester at the funerals. I believe from my research that your Grandfather and mine were brothers. So that makes us 2nd cousins. I have not had any luck finding others, this is why I was so happy you responded. I would love to exchange info with you. Have you used Ancestry for long. I am retired now and have worked a lot on my ancestry, Did you know you are related to many many kings and queens from all over Europe. I have followed the family tree back to the 6 hundreds
If you want to exchange info this is my email address. cpixley27@gmail.com I also have Skype if you are interested. Looking forward to hearing back from you again regards, Catherine
