| Notes |
- William Morrison Kendrick was made prisoner after the December 7, 1937 Rebellion and Mary Ann Montgomery, his wife petitioned the state for the release of her husband. Her house was robbed several times and almost everything of value taken. This was certainly part of the so-called Uprising where the British burned down the Montgomery Tavern as this is dated 12 Dec. 1837 and refers back five days which makes it the 7th, date of what is also called "The Troubles of 1837."
Have copied from Land & Deed records of Early York, land purchased by Duke William Kendrick (father of William Kendrick of York Mills) in 1804. Record copy is in file and sent another off to Arnold Kendrick Stewart.
It should be noted how many times the middle names correspond with surnames of those who married into the Montgomery family. In this case see where where Frances or "Fanny" Montgomery, 8th child of Alexander Jr. & Juda Myer married a
Hugh Morrison. There certainly must be a connection between the Kendricks and the Morrisons. William Morrison Kendrick's father must have married some Morrison daughter for him to have Morrison as his middle name. I can try to get such info either from U.E. Loyalist files or else from the Ontario Genealogical Society using their "Toronto Tree" Queries section.
Oct 15, 1994-Entry upon receipt of information regarding the Morrison family mentioned above. Received from Martha Hemphill, Pres. of U.E.Loyalists.
Hugh Morrison who married Frances "Fanny" Montgomery was a retired Capt. of the Black Watch Highlanders who came to York in 1829. He was a widow with five children. The two oldest were boys and three were daughters, mother was Mary Curran who died in Scotland. Hugh & Fanny married in 1830 and had a son, Hugh Angus Morrison who worked for the Railroad for twenty-four years as conductor between Toronto and London. The other three born to them were daughters. In all Hugh Morrison had six daughters none old enough to have been eligible to have married a Kendrick male. There was a Dr. Thomas Morrison who was medical inspector in 1820's and Mayor of Toronto in 1836. He may have had daughters tho married a Kendrick son. Thus bringing in Morrison for Williams 2nd name.
