Classification: Query
Surnames: Kyte, Patrick, Ferguson, Wilkinson
1821 - John Ferguson gave leased land on Ferguson's Point, Wolfe Island to his adopted daughter, Mary Kyte, daughter of Jermyn and Sarah Patrick, "and to the heirs of her body." Mary and John Kyte had been recently married.

1821/22 - John & Mary Kyte have a daughter who is named Mary Ferguson Kyte

Abt 1824 - John & Mary Kyte have a son who is named John Aldham Kyte.

29 Jan 1830 - John Kyte dies.
6 Mar 1830 - Mary Kyte dies, leaving children aged about 5 and 8 years orphaned, but heirs to her Wolfe Island property.

22 Apr 1833 - the owners of Wolfe Island (heirs of David Alexander Grant and Patrick Langan) sign some sort of Quit Claim Deeds to John Kyte and Mary E. Wilkinson, converting their perpetual leases into full ownership. In April 1833 John Kyte is "now of the Town of York in the Province of Upper Canada, eldest son and Heir at Law of Mary Kyte, deceased." Mary E. Wilkinson is "of the Town of Kingston in the Midland District and Province of Upper Canada, Spinster."

Mary Ferguson Kyte may have been living with her aunt Sarah Ann Patrick Wilson and her husband William, at whose home in Kingston she was married in 1842:

The Church, Toronto p. 170
5 Aug 1842
At Kingston, on the 1st inst., at the residence of William Wilson, Thomas Drummond, to Mary Ferguson, daughter of the late John Kyte, of the Naval Establishment of Kingston. (Rev. R.D. Cartwright)

Does anyone know what relative John Aldham Kyte may have been staying with in York (Toronto) in 1833?

I am puzzled at the identity of Mary E. Wilkinson,
"Spinster" in 1833. I was thinking she might be Mary Ferguson Kyte, adopted by her aunt and uncle Henry W. and Eliza Patrick Wilkinson, but that doesn't jive with her 1842 marriage record. She must be Eliza's daughter?
