Esther Traviss from Ontario
I am looking for information on the family of Esther Traviss, born about 1833 in East Gwillimbury Twp., York Co., Ontario, Canada.On her death certificate from Michigan, it only gives her father as "Traviss" and her mother as "Eves",no first names.She married Charles Parkabt. 1850.Her children were John, born 2 Dec 1851, Jerimiah, born 30 May 1855, Mariah, born 3 Jun 1858, Charles E., born 25 Feb 1865, and William Nelson, born 6 May 1867.They were all born in Mt. Albert, York Co., Ontario.Charles and Esther and family were in Sunfield, Eaton Co., Mich. by 1870.
I suspect that Esther is descended from William Traviss and his wife Elizabeth who were United Empire Loyalists.William was killed in New York and Elizabeth took the children and moved to New Brunswick for a while and then on to East Gwillimbury Township in York County, Ontario.However, I have been unable to make the connection.There is a Daniel and Priscilla Traviss family in the 1851 York Co. Census, that she would fit nicely in, but at the the time she was 18 and married and I have no proof she belonged there.Besides that, I have been unable to find an Eves named Priscilla that married a Traviss.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
