Hi Bill,
I have discovered through my recent research that there were 3 Percival brothers from Vinegar Hill area of Wexford Ireland that married 3 Rothwell or Rathwell sisters between 1795-1801.The Percival brothers were William who married Sussanah, Roger who married Mary, and Walter Samuel who married Elizabeth.The 3 brothers are said to have descended from Roger Percival (Sr.) who was slaughtered at the battle of Vinegar Hill in Wexford Ireland in 1798.It is possible that your Ann Percival was from Roger (1776-1865) who married Mary Rothwell.I know they had a son William Percival who married Margaret Croft and they are the parents of Roger Croft Percival who was the founder of the Percival Plow and Stove Company in Merrickville.Do you have lots of information on the Percivals of Burritt's Rapids? Thank.
