Margaret, James, and Henry Simmons
Contributed by Doug Massey (massey@interlynx.net)
On
June 14, 1866, David Simmons sold off his remaining portion of Lot 149, South
SideTalbot Road to his sons, Beston, David and George[1]. A quick look at the birth order of David and
Cecilia’s children tells you that these were not their eldest offspring:
Margaret
James
Henry
Jennette
Hiram
Elizabeth
Cicily
The
three brothers who inherited the original farm, who remained in the Courtland
area, were relatively younger siblings.
The three eldest were destined to move far away. A quick look at the original David Simmons
homestead in 1861 tells all. The
original 200 acres were now split four ways.
Beston’s quarter was valued at $300.00 and his machinery at $20.00,
while David Sr.’s land and machinery were
$400.00 and $50.00 respectively.
The rest of the farm was split between John Simmons (David Sr.’s
brother), and Robert Kitchen.[2] This was not a prosperous property. It managed to support David, Cecilia and ten
children, but it certainly could not support all those ten children and their
own families. Traditionally in 19th
century Ontario one son, usually a younger son, was expected to remain on the
family farm. There he would support his
own family and look after his widowed mother.
The older siblings felt great pressure to make their way elsewhere[3]. This certainly turned out to be true for
Margaret, James and Henry.
Margaret
(Simmons) Buchner: In 1851, Margaret was married to Henry Boughner and living in
Charlotteville Twp.[4] When asked
by the census taker in February of that year how old he would be on his next
birthday, Henry said 28, and Margaret, 24 years. At that time they had one son, James, aged 4. Some years later, they moved to Deerfield
Twp., Mecosta Co. in Michigan. Margaret
would live there for the rest of her life, dying on Nov. 23, 1900 at the age of
70 years, 2 mo., and 4 days.[5] Henry, born in 1824, would outlive her by
eight years.
If
Margaret’s tombstone information were correct, then her birth date would be
September 19, 1830. However, based on her reported age on the 1851 Census, she
was born in 1828. This second date
makes much more sense, since there is some evidence to support a birth date of
July 11, 1830 for her brother James. (See the section on James below)
The Boughners (or Buchners) were a large,
Ontario family with definite loyalist roots; and their ties with the Simmons
were considerable. On Dec. 22, 1846
Henry Buchner stood as a witness at the marriage of Martin Buchner of Bayham
Twp. to Margaret’s cousin, Sarah A Simmons.[6]
And James Simmons also married a Boughner.
James
Simmons: James was born in 1830. This is supported by three sources[7]. First, James’ age on the 1851 Census is
given as 22 years.[8] And second,
in A Portrait and Biological Album, Mecosta County Michigan, his birth
date is listed as 11 July 1830.[9] On Sept. 20, 1851, James married Catherine
Buchner.[10] Another
source dates the wedding on Oct. 6, 1851 in Charlotteville.[11] Interestingly enough, one of the witnesses
at the wedding was Henry Buchner. Were
Catherine and Henry sister and brother?
If so, the ties between the Simmons and Buchners were very close indeed.
Some
years later James and his family also moved to Mecosta Co. According to one source, they arrived in Michigan
in 1860 and located on an eighty-acre farm in Section 36, Deerfield Twp.,
Mecosta Co.[12] Or is it
possible that in 1863 they were not in Mecosta Co. at all, but rather just
across the county line in Montcalm County?
For it was there, in the Whitsell Cemetery, Winfield Twp., that they
buried their son, James, in June of that year:
Simmons, James, s/o J &
C, d. 11 Jun 1863[13]
By
1870, the family was definitely in Deerfield Twp., Mecosta Co., Section 36 as
is indicated by the Federal Census information of that year:
James
Simmons, 36 years, b. Canada (This age seems rather young. C.F. Henry Simmons’ reported age on the 1860 Mecosta census below)
Catherine,
35 years, b. Canada
William,
17, b. Canada
Sophronia,
16 years, b. Canada
Margaret,
13 years, b. Canada
Ebenezer,
11 years, b. Canada
David,
9 years, b. Michigan
John,
7 years, b. Michigan
Lendall
Phillips, b. New York[14]
Eventually
James was to have eleven children – William H., Nancy S., Amy M., Ebenezer,
Sarah J., Daniel A., John, Chris, James C., George, Adeline, and an adopted
son, Wm. H. Griffin.[15] Note the tendency, as indicated in the
census reporting, to refer to some of the children by their middle names, for
example Margaret rather than Amy M. and Sophronia, rather than Nancy S. This will become important later on.
Family
tradition holds that James was still alive in 1920 and living in Lakeview
Michigan. This tradition is backed up
by facts. In the Whitsell Cemetery,
close by Lakeview, are the following tombstones:
Simmons, Catherine, w/o
James, 1832-1914
Simmons, Henry A. can’t read rest of stone
Simmons, James 1830-
Simmons, James, s/o J & C, d. 11 Jun 1863
Simmons, Louisa, w/o Henry, 27 Jul 1866 ae 27/?/25[16]
The third inscription is clearly that of our James; the first, Catherine, his wife. Birth dates are bang on. Why no date of death for James? We’ll never know. But if the date 1920 mentioned above is correct, James would have been about ninety at death. Catherine had gone six years previously. So James had outlived all of his immediate family. Here, surely is the basis of future conjecture! Moreover, here too is evidence of Henry Simmons.
Henry
Simmons was
born about 1833 in Middleton Twp., Norfolk Co.
In the 1851 Personal Census, he was listed as 19 years old, a member of
the Church of England and living with his parents on Talbot Road.[17] Yet in that same census, he was also listed
as living with Alvin and Annie Wooley in Townsend Twp., near the present
village of Renton on Concession 14, Lot 7.[18] There he was described as 20 years old, a
labourer, a Baptist and not a member of the family. This could be a different Henry Simmons altogether, but not
likely and here’s why. Henry had a sister
Jennette, who, like her brother, was listed in both the Middleton and Townsend
entries[19]. Interestingly, in the Middleton reporting,
Jennette was described as a “labourer” and not living at home. Meanwhile, the census entry for the Wooley
household clearly places her as present there.
It is too much of a coincidence that Jennette and a totally unrelated
Henry Simmons would end up on the same Renton farm. Jennette was there as a “labourer”, as was a Daniel Wooley. Henry was most likely there on a more
temporary basis.[20]
A look at the Wooley children gives an
important clue as to why Jennette, and perhaps
Henry, were there. Alvin and
Annie needed help to run the farm, but their four children were all under the
age of 9. It is not too far fetched to
suggest that both Henry, Jennette and Daniel Wooley were there to remedy that
labour shortage. Is there any family
connection here? Annie Wooley died in
1902 and was buried just down the road from her farm in the Mount Zion United
Church Cemetery, not as Annie Wooley, but as Annie Simmons! Was she Henry and Jennette’s aunt, and
therefore the sister of David Sr.? To date, there is no conclusive proof of
that.[21]
On
Nov. 12, 1854, Jennette married Alonzo Bryning and Henry was a witness.[22] A few years later, but before 1860, Henry
himself was married to Eliza or Elizabeth Lundy. No record of that wedding has come to light. Family tradition holds that Henry married
Eliza Lundy. Could this have been a
shortened form of Elizabeth? There was
an Elizabeth Lundy, age 18 years listed in the 1851 Personal Census, Elgin Co.,
Bayham Twp.[23] She was the
daughter of Jonathan (or Solomon) and Esther Lundy. This is a good possibility since she was close to Henry’s
age. Further, Bayham Twp. is not far
from Middleton.
Still,
there is contradictory evidence. In the
Simmons group of tombstones in the Whitsell Cemetery is a stone with the
following inscription:
Simmons,
Louisa, w/o Henry, 27 Jul 1866 ae 27/?/25
Notice,
first, that Louisa is “wife of Henry”.
Is this our Henry? There were at
least four Lundy families in Bayham Twp.
Among these four was the household of John and Catherine Lundy, a
household which included no less than five daughters, and one equally known by
Henry back in Canada West. In the 1851
Bayham Census, a Louisa was listed as 11 years old.[24] This would make her about 26 years old on 27
July,1866 when Louisa Simmons, “ae 27/?/25”, died. So dates match. Further,
it will be proven that Henry and family were in Michigan in 1866 where Henry’s third
son, George B., was born.[25] Were Louisa Lundy and Louisa Simmons the
same person? Was she Henry’s first
wife? Did she die from complications
resulting from the birth of her third child?
It would be easy to answer “yes” to all these questions. And it would seem right that the “wife of
Henry” would be buried close to the child of Henry’s older brother James. Still, it is not completely clear that the
answer to these questions is a “yes”.
It is clear, however, that during the 1850’s
Henry made a living as a labourer on farms or in lumber camps in the Norfolk
area. Finances must have been tight and
opportunities for a good life rather thin.
By 1860, Henry had made the jump to Michigan, for here was the frontier
and some hope of owning land of his own.
Still, times were hard at first as he continued as a lumberman.[26]
An
1860 Michigan Census lists a Henry Simmons “settled on swamp land” near Leonard
Town, Mecosta Co., Michigan:[27]

However,
there are problems here. First, Henry
is listed as 23. This seems a little
too young. According to William G. Cutler, in his History of the State of
Kansas, Henry was born in 1833. If
this were so he should be listed as 27 years in 1860.[28] As well, who is this Laura Simmons
listed? Why is there no Elizabeth, or
Eliza, or Louisa? So this piece of
evidence is problematical; yet it is also significant!. What follows is a little complicated, but
unfortunately it must be that way to prove that this is our Henry after
all. First, consider “Sylvester Lindy”,
Isaac Griffin and Wellington Simmons.
“Sylvester
Lindy” and Isaac Griffin: The Simmons are listed as
family #51 on this census. The next two
households are those of Isaac Griffin and Sylvester Lindy (actually
Lundy). Both the Isaac Griffins, and
the Sylvester Lundys were recent arrivals to Michigan. Both families came from Elgin Co., Bayham
Twp.! A quick comparison between the
1860 Michigan Census and that for Bayham Twp. in 1851 shows an almost perfect
fit re. names, ages and places of birth:
Isaac
Griffin, farmer, b. Canada West, E. Methodist, age, 49 years
Wife,
Adelia B. Griffin, b. U.S., 35 years
Sarah,
b. C.West, 3 years
William,
labourer, b. U.S., 21 years
David,
b. U.S., 13 years
James
Griffin, 3 years
Susan,
b. U.S., 14 years[29]
Silvester
Lundy, b. Canada West, Presbyterian, 23 years
M.
Ann Lundy, b. C.West, Presbyterian, 17 years[30]
This
Sylvester Lindy, or Silvester Lundy, was almost certainly a relative of Henry’s
wife[31]. Indeed, Henry and his wife would name their
second son Sylvester!
Look
closely at the details of the Griffin household in 1851 and you are immediately
struck by the connections with the United States. Revisit the 1860 Michigan census and you are struck by the number
of people born in Canada West now settled in Mecosta Co. There was an obvious, free flow of humanity
back and forth across the border.
Sylvester Lundy’s first child, George, 8 in 1860, was born in Canada
West while Catherine, their 4 year old, was born in Michigan. The Lundys were in Michigan no later than
1856. Henry followed in 1858 or 1859,
after the birth of his first child, Wellington. His was a familiar story – economic conditions push you from one
place, and friends and family pull you to another. Friends and family pulled him to Michigan. So too did the hope for a better life.
Wellington
Simmons The presence of Wellington Simmons is
key. In the 1860 Michigan census, he
was between 10 and 12 months old. When
we jump ahead twenty years to 1880, Henry Simmons and family have moved again,
this time to Kansas. And there is that same Wellington, now 21, and clearly
shown as Henry’s son:
Henry
Simmons: Male, Married, 46 years, b.
Canada, farmer, Father – b. Canada, Mother –b. England
Francis
Simmons: Wife, 35 years, b. Canada, keeps house
Sylvester
Simmons: Son 17 years, b. Canada, works on farm
George
B. Simmons: Son, 14 years, b. Michigan, Father and mother b. Canada
John
A. Simmons: Son, 10 years, b. Kansas, father and mother b. Canada
Henrietta
Simmons: Daughter, b. Kansas, father and mother b. Canada
North
W. Simmons: Son, 2 years, b. Kansas, father and mother b. Canada[32]
All
information for both Wellington and Henry – age, place of birth, parents – is
an excellent fit. And there is more -
Wellington’s younger brother, Sylvester.
He, like Wellington, was born in Canada. So it would appear that Henry didn’t stay put in Michigan. The family returned to Canada and was there
in 1863 when Sylvester was born. They
have definitely returned to Michigan by 1866 because George B. was born there;
and if Henry’s first wife is Louisa, George was most likely born in Montcalm
Co. near Lakeview. In Michigan, Henry’s
first wife died, perhaps in 1866, but certainly before 1869.[33]
Back
in Canada, in 1867 or 1868, Henry’s father David died in Middleton. There is no way of knowing if Henry went to
his father’s funeral. There is also no way of knowing if he went to his mother’s
wedding on Nov. 23, 1868 to John Fulkerson in Middleton.[34] Almost a year later, on Sept. 5, 1869, Henry
remarried as well, this time to Helen Lundy of Bayham.[35] And by February of 1870, Henry, his bride
and family had moved to Kansas where John A. Simmons was born later in that
year, followed a few years on by Henrietta and North W. Henry had almost worn out the international
border from frequent use!
A
second look at the 1880 Kansas census above reveals yet another problem. There, Henry’s wife is given as
Francis. Although Cutler states that
Henry’s first wife died in Michigan, he does not mention either her name or
that of the second wife. We are faced
with the question, “Was our Henry married to Helen or Francis?” The short answer to that question is,
“Yes!”
When
John Simmons, Henry’s uncle, died intestate in 1867, legal action ensued. In 1874 legal documents were signed by many
Simmons family members, even by Henry and his wife in far away Kansas in July
of 1875. They did so in the office of a
notary public in Walnut Grove. Helen
Simmons, wife of Henry Simmons is the name given on that document. [36] This supports the marriage record referred
to above. All details in this entry fit
perfectly. Henry is listed as 35 years
old and “Hellen” as 20. Her parents’
names, John and Catherine, match with census information. There is one discrepancy. The mother of the groom is given as
Cornelia. But Cornelia is very close to
Cecilia; and the father of the groom, David, is right on the mark. It is difficult to discount this record
Then
there is a tombstone inscription. A
“Hellene Simmons”, wife of Henry Simmons, is buried in Bethel Cemetery very
close to Henry’s farm in Section 5 Walnut Grove Twp. Date of death is given as Dec. 13, 1881, and age at death as 35
years, --mo., 9d.[37] “Hellene” is exotic, but still close, and
the dates are definitely right. This is
certainly Henry’s second wife. Still,
why Francis in the census? The answer
is simple, Helen’s middle name was Francis, the name she was usually called by
Henry, or the name she preferred. That
was the name given to the census taker one year before her death.
There
is evidence for “Helen Francis” in the 1861 Personal Census for Elgin Co. Here, are John and Catherine Lundy of Bayham
with a 13-year-old daughter by the name of Helen F. Lundy.[38] This age is about right. It fits with the rough date of her birth,
about 1849, and with both the age given for her marriage (20 years in 1869) and
the age given at time of death (35 years in 1881).
Further,
it could be that Henry’s first wife, Eliza or Elizabeth, and his second wife,
Helen, were cousins. Helen’s father was
listed as a John M. Lundy, b. Canada West, Presbyterian, 54 years and a
carpenter. [39] Elizabeth Lundy’s father, Jonathan (or Solomon)
was listed as 50 years, b. Canada West and a Presbyterian.[40] Age and religion conspire to suggest they
were brothers. But if Henry’s first
wife was, in fact, Louisa, then his first two wives were sisters!
On
Feb. 11, 1870, Henry Simmons purchased 160 acres in Section 5, Walnut Grove
Twp., Neosho Co. Kansas.[41] Initially, he and his family stayed with
H.F. Cory before moving into their cabin.
There, Helen gave birth to three children – John A., Henrietta and North
W. – before she died. Cutler gives the
date of her death as Nov. 13, 1882.
However, the date on her tombstone is Dec. 13, 1881.[42] There is other information on that
stone. Listed below the name of “Hellene Simmons” are the following names:
Ida
M. Simmons 8 Mar. 1871 - 27 Jen. (sic) 1939
Nancy
D. Simmons 26 Nov. 1851 – 16 Jan. 1935
The
name of Nancy is most interesting. Who
could she have been? James, Henry’s
older brother had a daughter Nancy S.
Could this be she? Did they get
the middle initial and date of birth wrong on the stone? Was this James’ daughter who may have
accompanied Henry and family to Kansas?
We just don’t know.
Back
to the facts. On 28 of August 1883,
Henry married yet again, this time to Lucinda Murphy.[43] He was 50, and Lucinda, 30. At this point, the information on Henry and
family goes blank. Or does it? There is one last tombstone in Whitsell
Cemetery. The inscription reads as
follows:
Simmons, Henry A. can’t
read rest of stone
Is
this the Henry Simmons we have been tracking?
Other than the name, the stone provides us with no more
information. Did Henry finally return
to Michigan? Does he lie buried with
his first wife and his brother James?[44] To answer these questions will require even
more research.
Here
is the full biography of Henry given by Cutler:
HENRY
SIMMONS, farmer, Section 5, P. O. Walnut, native of Canada West, born in 1833.
The early part of his life was spent in the pineries of Canada and Michigan. In
1870, February 11, he bought his claim of 160 acres of William Chapin, paying
$200. There was a cabin on it and eighteen acres broken. When he first landed
in Neosho County, he and family stayed with H. F. Cory, then moving to their
new home. He traded his horses for oxen and went to breaking sod. Since coming
to the State he has never failed in a single crop. He lost his first wife in
Michigan and married again, and she died November 13, 1882, leaving him with
six children, five boys and one girl. Mr. Simmons is raising grain on 120 acres
of his farm and has the rest in pasture and meadow, with a good orchard and
five half miles (sic) of hedge fencing.
William G. Cutler, A History of the State of Kansas, A.T.
Andreas, Chicago Il. 1883, Part 9
Henry’s
story, like that of his brother James and their older sister Margaret, is
representative of a generation that grew up in the mid 1850’s. The frontier was rapidly pushing west. Families and individuals who had come to
Upper Canada in the early years of the 19th century seeking free
land would find Canada a temporary home.
They were destined to return to the United States. David Sr. was born in the United
States. All his children would be born
in Middleton Twp., Canada West. But
economics ensured that all could not stay.
So it was off to Michigan, or off to Kansas. Then, at the turn of the 20th century, it would be the
turn of Americans from the northwest states to return to Canada, and to the
“Last Best West” - to Saskatchewan, and Alberta. Perhaps some of Margaret’s, or James’ or Henry’s descendents live
there now. This remains to be
discovered. But one thing is fact: The history of two nations, Canada and the
United States, is the story of emigration and immigration.
