54 McKay Drive, Fredericton, N. B. E3A 3S2 15 June 1984 Mrs.Louise Worster, 106 Ocean Spray Ave., Satellite Beach, Fl 32937 USA Dear Mrs. Worster, Enclosed is the UEL application forms that you requested information on the Whitlocks and Hortons.
and some
In answer to your questions 1. Was Solomon married first to Priscilla. I would say that I think that you are right. I did not find an obituary but his marriage to Mary Horton and the fact that Mary Whitlock received the widow's pension confirms it. 2. I believe that Solomon Whitlock and Mr. Whitelock of Penniake are the same person •. Solomon is the only Whitlock in the area to receive a grant, 3. If Mary Whitlock previously married the marriage certificate does not state that she was a widow. 4. Ann and Hannah were not baptised the same time. 5 .• I think that Mary and Priscilla are two different people. The Church records do not have death records and I found nothing more on Whitlock in the records of baptisms. I referred back to the Census of York County that I compiled a few years ago and it definitely shows Mary and Abigail IHorton as mother and daughter. One thing puzzles me and that is Mary, supposedly the daughter of John Horto~ being in NB in 1766. The Loyalists did not come until 1783 and 1784. I looked up another transcription of the same census and it too gave 1766 as the date of entry for Mary. Could possibly be 1786. In the 1861 Census for St. Marys Parish Abigal Francis Horton, head of family age 56, native Baptist, Ebenezer H. Johnston m lodger, age 24, native, lumberman and farmer, Methodist. I apologize for the condition of the copy of the baptism. The machine refused to do anything further so am sending along the copy as is. I cannot give you an estimate of the time it would take to do a complete search on the Whitlock/Horton families. If you wanted a three of four hour search I would do it and see what 'new material could be found. Best
of luck with
your application.
Sincerely,
