23.ELIZABETH7 SCAGEL (JACOB6, JACOB5, DEBORAH4WALLIS, GEROGE3, GEORGE2, RALPH1) was born 1804 in Stanbridge Township, Missisquoi County, Quebec, and died November 11, 1888 in Buckingham, Quebec.She married CYRUS PARCHER March 05, 1821, son of ROBERT PARCHER and SARAH STRAW.
Notes for ELIZABETH SCAGEL:
Elizabeth was only fifteen years of age when her father filed a Revolutionary War pension application in which the only child listed was Elizabeth's younger sister, Charlotte.By then, five of her older brothers and sisters (Aaron, Jacob, Rachel, Grace and Samuel) had already established residence north of the Ottawa River, in Argenteuil County, Quebec.
Elizabeth may have joined the household of one of them.Perhaps she went there to work as amaid in the inn operated by Samuel, in the village of Carillon,She may also have gone to "help out" in the homes of the others who lived near one another on farms in the township of Chatham.The cluster of houses located a short distance west of St. Philippe was sometimes shown on maps as "Chatboro".
Records of the Presbyterian Church at St. Andrews East include the marriage on March 5, 1821 (after banns) of "Cyrus Partcher" and Elizabeth Scagel, both of Chatham.Elizabeth by mark... Witnesses were Jacob Brewer and George Smith.Elizabeth must have reached her 18th birthday, as she was not listed as a minor and no statement of consent was attached.Cyrus was at least eleven years her senior
Cyrus is believed to have been born in Vermont in 1791, The son of Robert and Sarah Parcher of Waterbury.Extensive research by Elizabeth Parcher Walker, author of "Elias Parcher and Some of His Descendents", led to the conclusion that, although there is no positive proof of this, Robert is the only Parcher in Vermont in 1790 and since Cyrus was born there in the next year, he must have been Robert's son.His was the fifth generation of Parcher in America.His ancestors were Robert Parcher and Sarah Straw of Scarborough, Vermont; Timothy Kearl Parcher and Temperance Moody of Scarborough, Pepperelborough and South Waterborough, Maine and Waterbury, Vermont;George Parcher and Patience Carle of Greenland, New Hampshire and Scarborough, Maine; and Elias Parcher and Grace Allard of Greenland, New Hampshire.(Grace Allard was the daughter of Honor Wallis, sister of Deborah Wallis, wife of Christopher Scaggel, so Elizabeth and Cyrus were third cousins twice removed.)
It appears that Cyrus made his way to Chatham as a young man, perhaps with relatives or neighbors, probably after the death of his father in 1814.Since residents of Northern Vermont and the border counties of Quebec had mostly ignored the War of 1812 because of "family ties", perhaps the Vermonters were not opposed when they made such moves.
For at least the next twenty years, Elizabeth and Cyrus remained in Chatham.Their names are conspicuously absent from church records. Either they were not active church attenders, of the Methodist ministers of the family performed unrecorded ordinances.We have not located birth records for their older children.Only one, the "middle" daughter, Sarah, was found in baptism records of any of the churches in the vicinity.Cyrus was a farmer and his name appears on the militia lists of Chatham in a group commanded by Elizabeth's brother, Jacob Schagel, during the Rebellion of 1837.
Cyrus and Elizabeth were still in Chatham when the census of 1842 was taken.Sometime after that, the Parchers joined former neighbors and several of Elizabeth's nieces and nephews (children of her older sister Rachel and Oliver Smith) from Argenteuil County who had moved to Buckingham, Ottawa (now Papineau) County, Quebec.The town located on the Lievre River about 25 miles northeast of Ottawa grew as a result of the timber industry.Later, veins of feldspar and other minerals we rediscovered and mining also offered opportunity for work.Cyrus remained a farmer.
The 1851 census for Buckingham, like that of Chatham, is missing.By 1861, only one daughter, 16 year old Mary, was living at home.The agricultural census shows Cyrus Parcher located on "Range 6, part of Lot 7, 100 acres, in the Township of Buckingham."This was located on Lonsdale Road, west of the village of Buckingham.(By 1980, the house and barn made of hand hewn logs, had fallen down.)In 1871, they were in the same place and Mary was still at home.
They shared a house with their daughter Lucy and her husband but the two families were numbered separately.Cyrus. aged 87, and Elizabeth, aged 75, were by themselves in 1881 and were listed as members of the Church of England.On September 2, 1886, they were named as witnesses to the baptisms of four of their grandchildren but "could not write."
Cyrus died in 1887 and Elizabeth in 1888.C. W. Pearson was witness to both burials.They are buried in St. Stephen's Anglican Cemetery, Buckingham.
As was the custom, Elizabeth and Cyrus had a large family.Ten children have been identified:Jane (1825); Rebecca (1832);Aaron (1835); Simon (1836); Melissa (1838); Sarah Ann (1839); Elizabeth (1843); Mary (1847); Lucy (1849); Richard K. Stevenson (1850).The four year space between 1821 and 1825 indicates that there could have been at least one who died before 1825.The seven year space between Mary Jane and Rebecca also leaves room for additional children.However, Cyrus Parcher's name does not appear on the list of "subscribers to the hearse" in Chatham.
Many descendants have contributed information for this compilation.Irene (Gay) Park, descendant of Simon Parcher, spent many hours gleaning information from family members, church and census records, and gravestones.Additional research in census records and land deeds of several localities in Canada has provided many details.Jean (Parcher) Richter, descendant of Aaron Parcher, compiled stories and wrote many letters to obtain statistics for several branches of that family.Betty(Parcher) Nicoll, also of the Aaron line, gathered information from her relatives.Early baptisms, marriages and burials, unless otherwise stated, were found in the records of St. Stephen's Anglican Church, Buckingham.Children without exact dates are from census records.Dates in parenthesis, except those in paragraphs listing names of children, are estimated from census or burial records.Notes in brackets are our comments and/or unproved clues.
