Wiltons of Whitchurch Township, Upper Canada
My g-g-grandmother, Geneva "Jane" Wilton, married George Stedman/Steadman about 1833 in Canada.George immigrated to Canada from England in 1832 and settled in Whitchurch Township (area now in York County, Ontario).George and Geneva's oldest son, Maurice Steadman, was born in 1834.By the early 1840's they moved to Sullivan Township, Grey County, Ontario.
Family oral history reports that Geneva "Jane" Wilton was born about 1800 in England; the census records indicate she may have been born in 1803 or 1805.She died 1898 in Union County, South Dakota.
Was Geneva "Jane" the daughter of Samuel Wilton, born 1776 in Cornwall, England, died 5 Dec 1847 in Whitchurch Township, Upper Canada?I understand that Samuel's wife was Mary Brown.A record shows that Samuel Wilton owned property, Lot 11, Con. 3, in Whitchurch.Were there other Wilton families in Whitchurch Township at that time period?Thank you.
