1. Who was Milly ROSEL? She married Benjamin GEROW in Hempstead, Queens County, New Brunswick 17 February 1793. She may have been born in New York (either Dutchess or Queens County), or possibly in New Jersey or New Brunswick. She may have been called Margaret Russell, and likely was born 1768-1772. Benjamin and his wife had many children, most born in Queens County (Washedemoak) New Brunswick, with some children including our Jane / Jain (who married George Riddle) born in Pickering Ontario. Benjamin GEROW was born in Westchester Co. NY, lived from 1783-1804 in New Brunswick, then Pickering, Canada West, then Prince Edward County for the remainder of his life. 2.

He was born 1806-1810, in Ireland, and in later years identified himself with the Church of Scotland. 3. Where was Sarah SPURDENS born? Her marriage Banns were published in Alburgh, Norfolk in 1773. She married Samuel FIELD of Denton, Norfolk. Her husband was buried in South Elmham, Suffolk 1778 leaving her with two small children Sarah and Samuel FIELD. She may have remarried in 1779 to Thomas WOODS (possible children Elizabeth and Esther both born in South Elmham, Suffolk.) 4. Who were the parents of WILLIAM JOHN MERCER, who may have been born in 1838 Port-de-Grave, Newfoundland? He married Hannah ROSE and ran a store in Kelligrews, Newfoundland. I am also searching for Hannah ROSE's parents. She may have been born in 1840 in Brigus, Newfoundland. ==>> Found Hannah ROSE - daughter of John ROSE and Diana WHEALAN of Brigus. Now searching for Diana/Dinah/Dina's family. We do know that John ROSE is the son of THOMAS ROSE and HANNAH SPRACKLIN, both of Brigus. Still looking for MERCERs in PortdeGrave, but we may need to sort out the Mercers of Bay Roberts...
