Mary "Ann" Bowles^1,2,3,4

• Father*: John Bowles b. 1779
• Mother*: Ann Mills b. 1775

• Birth*: 1817; Ireland; The 1851 census has her listed as 5 years younger than Robert, but the 1861 and the 1871 census list them as the same age.
  Note: I have decided to place Mary Ann (Bowles) Buchanan with John Bowles and Ann Mills as the most likely scenario. There is no documentation to support this other than general info re date and proximity. If anyone has better info re this, please let me know. (Dan Buchanan, July 6 2021)^5,6
• Marriage*: before December 1845; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; Ann's surname is found in only two places (so far) but it is different in each case. In James's Death Registration, it is Bowles. In George's Marriage Registration it is Butler. This needs to be researched.
  Note: St. Paul's Anglican Church in Brighton was destroyed by fire in 1914 which may have destroyed the record of Robert and Anne's marriage. They were Church of England.
  "St. Paul's Anglican Church, 48 Sanford Street: St. Paul's Anglican Church was established in 1862 but traces of the Anglican Community date back to 1836. ... Prior to the erection of St. Paul's, services were held in the Old Presbyterian Church on Young Street. Following a fire in 1914, which destroyed early records of the church, electricity was installed and a Choir Vestry was added." (from "A History of Brighton - Churches" on the web page of The Independent, East Northumberland's Weekly Newspaper); Principal=Robert Buchanan^7,6
• Death*: 28 July 1887; Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; Death Reg'n #011951: Name: Ann Buchanan; Died: July 28 1887; Age: 73 years; Rank: Wife of Robert Buchanan; Born: Ireland; Cause: summer complaint, 2 weeks; Phys.: Dr. Sanford; Certified: James Buchanan, Brighton Twp; Reg'd: July 30, 1887; Rel.: Church of England; Reg'r: A. A. Brecker
  Note: It appears that Ann was living in Brighton Twp. with James at the time of her death. James is listed as the witness; he lived on the north side of Brighton Village. The cause of death was "summer complaint" - not sure what tha means. One minor discrepancy is that her age is listed as 73 years.⁸
• Burial*: 30 July 1887; Ontario; No burial info re Ann has been found. It might be expected that she was buried in the Norwood-Asphodel Cemetery with her husband Robert. There is no memorial for her there or in Brighton where James is buried.

• Name Variation: before December 1845; Buchanan^7,6
• Note: 1848; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; British Colonist of Toronto (1840-1848) shows these words at the end of a marriage notice: "... youngest daughter of Joseph Bowles, Brighton (Rev. Thomas Buchanan)
  Note: If it is the same family this girl could be Ann's younger sister. Need to establish a connection.
• Census: 1852; Ameliasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Canada West; Age 30 at 1851-2 Census: see Robert Buchanan⁹
• Note*: circa 1854; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; Christian Guardian shows a marriage record (1851 - 1854): On Tues evening 15 inst. at the residence of the bride's father, Christopher G. Valleau and Jane Ann, eldest daughter of John Bowles, all of Brighton (Rev. W. S. Blackstock
  Note: This may be same family as Ann but later generation - ie, her niece.
• Note: 1857; Brighton, Northumberland Co., Canada West; 1857 Directory of Ontario shows Bowles, W & J, Brighton, shoemakers
  Note: Is this Ann's family?? It might explain why John's birth shows as Brighton before they were in Ameliasburgh. Needs to be proven.
• Census: April 1861; Ameliasburgh Twp., Prince Edward Co., Canada West; Age 42 at 1861 Census: see Robert Buchanan¹⁰
• Census: April 1871; Asphodel Twp., Peterborough Co., Ontario; Age 54 at 1871 Census: see Robert Buchanan¹¹
• Census*: April 1881; Percy Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; Age 67 at 1881 Census: see George Buchanan. She appears in the 1881 census living with George on a farm in Percy Tsp. They appear to have lived here since 1877 because on his marriage registration in 1877 James lists his occupation as a farmer in Percy Tsp. It would also appear that Robert is dead at this point.¹²

  Note: Jim Wells emailed me Sep. 25 2004 re availability of David Buchanan's 1880 Census record. It is now on comes up in familysearch.org and, once I saw the location and page number, I could find the image of the original census page on ancestry.com.⁴
• Residence: 1888; Nebraska, U.S.A.; "Thanks for the quick reply. Margaret Hill was my great grandmother and until I found the web tees a year ago our family did not know of David Buchanan, only that "O.B." stood for "Ormond Buchanan", Margaret had four more children during her life. She died in Raymond, Wa. USA. Her ashes were placed on the grave of her last husband, James Wells, in the Washington
  Cemetary in Pacific County. This site is marked bya Rhododendron but no
  marker at this time. All of her children are deceased but some ofher
  grandchildren and many ggchildren are still living. The family is named
  Wells after about 1890, and we have no trace of David Buchanan after about
  1888 in Nebraska." per email from Jim Wells, May 5, 2002.

I speculate that David and Margaret separated about then and her youngest son, James Edward Wells was born near Lansing, about 1899. My father was named after him in 1904." per email of Jim Wells, May 30, 2002.
• Residence: 1891; Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A.; " .. I am still trying to find what happened to David Buchanan, the last sure sign of him is in Omaha, Nebraska in 1891. ... " per email from Jim Wells, Sept. 17, 2003.⁶

  Note: Per email from Dorothy Hawkinson, 1900 Census was found and this 1910 Census also. The 1900 Census showed David Buchanan as a boarder listed just under Susie Jarvis and her two kids. Here, in Chicago in 1910, he is "Head" of household and Susie Jarvis and son Arthur are shown below. David is still shown as "S" and Susie as "W".⁴
• Census: 6 January 1920; Ward 6, Dist. 374, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.; Age 61 at 1920 Census: Buchanan, Wm., 61, b. Cda. French, p.b. Cda.

  Note: It appears as if David Buchanan has married Susie Jarvis who he was living with for both the 1900 and 1910 Census. In this case, he uses the given name "Wm." - wonder why??? He also says he was born in Canada with French as language, same for both parents???⁴

• Residence: circa 1944; 40 Parliament St., Colborne, Northumberland Co., Ontario; "House bought by Charles and Martha Goodfellow after moving from Percy Street." per email from Howard Goodfellow, 2024 02 20, with image of 40 Parliament St., Colborne.
  Note: I have found no land registry records that link Charles James Goodfellow to 40 Parliament Street. I'd love to be corrected on this, but consider the following: Book 009 of the Colborne Land Registry Records contain records for Concession 2, Lot 28, labelled on the map as "Scott & Spencer's Plan", because the southern part of it is west of Spencer Street and east of Durham Street. Most of the Village Lots are either along the north side of Scott Street or south of it. Note that the 1878 map called the north-south street Furnace St. and not Parliament. That is because of Reuben Scott's foundry on the creek here. The modern property called 40 Parliament Street is the second house south of Scott Street, on the east side of Parliament. On the map, it is clear that this is Village Lot 29. Oddly, lots 29, 30, 31 and 32 are never mentioned in the pages of Book 009. The corner lots of 26, 27 and 28 are mentioned a few times, as well as 33 which is farther south at the pond, but never the four lots in between. This seems bizarre and I looked over the details several times to make sure I did not miss anything. The map seems very clear although there may have been some kind of unusual naming convention or administrative step that results in this. Really, it is very annoying. I look forward to some advice from anyone who might be able to shed light on this. (Dan Buchanan, Feb 26 2024)¹³
• Note*: 20 April 1944; Cramahe Twp., Colborne, Northumberland Co., Ontario; The Tweedsmuir Histories of Codrington includes a picture and article as follows: "Wed 57 years - Mr. and Mrs. Charles Goodfellow of Colborne area today celebrating their 57th wedding anniversary. The couple lived in Brighton Township until he retired from farming nineteen years ago. At 87 (actually 80), both are in good health and taking an active interest in the community. William Goodfellow M.P.P. is a son."
  Note: Marriage was in 1887 so 57 years makes this 1944. The two are 80 or 81, not 87 as stated. Retirement works out to 1925 (19 years before 1944)¹⁶
