With thanks to Fred Geary for contributing his family tree to the Antrim County web site. I am sorry but I no longer have an email address for Mr. Geary.

What I wanted to correct were the parents of Joseph Vincent Geary married to Rachel Emmalau. I have his parents as Joseph Vincent Geary (whom I call senior) and Isabella McArthur, both born in England. This Joseph Vincent Geary senior was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy and sied in Crow Bay, Northunberland County on 13 March 1844 (Source: The Church Records, The Ontario Register, 1780's-1870's). I explain below how I determined the correct name of Joseph Vincent junior's parents.

I also wanted to correct the likely place of marriage of Joseph Vincent Geary junior's wedding to Rachel Emmalau. Rachel was from Amherst Island where her parents still lived until about 1864 at which time they moved to Seymour Twp. Northunberland County, On. where it appears Joseph Vincent and Rachel were already living on Crow Bay. Both Joseph Vincent Geary junior and Rachel were found in Ernestown (aka Bath), Lennox and Addington County, On. in the 1851 census, so it's likely they married there. Ernestown or Bath is just across a narrow strip of water from Amherst Island. (Source: 1851-52 census for Canada West, Addington County, Earnestown Twp, part 1, page 49) I speculate that they were married in the Anglican Church there as Joseph Vincent was of Anglican faith and all the children were raised in that denomination. I have no access to the Ernestown church records for that period. Since their oldest child, Isabella was born in 1851 per the above census, it follows that they must have married either in 1849 or 1850.

I show the place of birth for Joseph Vincent who was married to Rachel as simply "England" based on the 1851 and 1861 censuses in Addington and Northumberland counties respectively. I think that Fred Geary showed Joseph Vincent junior's place of birth as Northchurch, Hertfordshire, England from data he took off the IGI on the Internet. IGI also shows that Joseph Vincent's father as Daniel Geary and Suzannah which Fred uses in his Family web site. But I believe that this refers to another Joseph Vivcent unless the unknown author to that data simply speculated.

However, my data shows Joseph Vincent junior (married to Rachel) as the son of Joseph Vincent Geary, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and Isabella McArthur. Note that a son of Joseph Vincent and Rachel is christened Alfred MCARTHUR, probably in memory of the child's grandmother (and of course J.V. and Rachel's first daughter was named Isabella also in memory of his mother).

Here are my notes in connection with the above:

From microfilm: MS 693 reel 159, page 225, March 16, 1835, 2 lots to Joseph Vincent GEARY, Lot #17, Concession:# 9 ,200 acres; part of Lot #18, Concession #9, 169 acres, Seymour Township. under Remarks: it says : Lieut., Royal Navy:

"On or about Sept. 30, 1850 Geary Sr. died & his son got his father's land. At that time Geary Jr. stated that he was living in (Residence) the Village of Bath, in Lennox & Addington County. This instrument was registered on Feb. 17, 1852. Geary Jr. was listed as the only son of the Late Joseph Vincent Geary. There was no Will or Letters of Administration, they just transferred the land to his son Joseph Vincent Geary, husband of Rachel Emlaw".

Abraham AMLAW bought the farm next to him on April 7, 1864". (End of message from Jacques)

According to the Geary Family Migration - Antrim County, MI on the web, Joseph Vincent's parents were Daniel and Susannah Geary. The writer does not say where he got that info, and he cannot be contacted, but it probably came from the IGI. I knew that Joseph Vincent and Rachel did not marry in Campbellford as the web site says. That lead me to question the accuracy of the info contained therein. That is because according to information I picked up in The Ontario Register, 1780's-1870's, Deaths Notices of Ontario, The Church, Toronto, there was a Joseph Vincent Geary, R.N. Lieutenant who lived on Crow Bay, Seymour East, with his wife Isabella McArthur. In a notice appearing on 29 March, 1844, Joseph Vincent died at the age of 51 on 3 March, 1844, while his wife, Isabella McArthur, in a notice appearing on 14 Jan., 1843 in Brockville, died on Wednesday, 21 December, 1842 at the age of 45. That is quite a coincidence: The Jos. V. Geary who died in 1844 had the same given names as the Jos. V. who married Rachel, and he also lived on Crow Bay, Seymour East, just like the former. Both Gearys were sailors, which is another coincidence. In 1842, Joseph V. junior would have been 18 yrs old, thus Isabella would have been old enough to be his mother. The incorrect parents were confirmed by Jacques from his search of the land records per the above.

According to family history, Abraham Amlaw or Emlaw as the name is more commonly spelled was Rachel's twin brother. Since we don't have either Rachel's or Abraham's birth record, that is speculation, but it seems they were indeed siblings.

One last correction, Joseph Vincent Geray junior died in Campbellford, Northumberland County, on 2 February, 1877, not on the same date in 1879. (Source: Ontario Archives, MS 935 reel #16, reg'n No.10108, year:1877)

I leave it up to you to add what you think would be of interest to those who might be interested in that Geary Family web site.

Many thanks for your earlier answer. If things are not clear, please don't hesitate to let me know.
