After my application was filled out, I took it to the branch genealogist, Kathryn Lake Hogan U.E. at our next meeting in November 2010. Over the summer there was a mail slowdown and it took longer than usual to get it processed and I wasn't presented with my certificates until this past Saturday at our November meeting, one year after I started the application process.
Ordinarily it wouldn't have taken so long but I had to send for a marriage license from my first marriage which showed re…
I am going to start sorting out what information I have already and make a few copies of each document, one for my branch, one for the head office and one for my records. I have the 1851-1911 censuses for my grandfather, William Edgar Hines, my great-grandfather, John Haines/Hines and 2nd great-grandfather, Benjamin Haines. I will have to print the censuses 1/2 page on a sheet to have it legible, so for every year there will be four or eight printed pages, adding the agricultural pages as well.
I
have another brick wall to post, my 3rd great-grandmother, Lyddie or
Lydia, married to Nathaniel Haines in Niagara, Upper Canada in 1786. The
only info I have on her is that she was not the daughter of a loyalist.
That's not much to go on, most single women in Niagara at that time were
daughters of loyalists but they were also loyalists themselves if they were born in the thirteen colonies.
Lyddie was in Niagara in 1786 so maybe she was French Canadian, or a pre-loyalist or Native.

I am researching my great-grandmother's family and I have an enormous brick wall as far as her mother, Marie, who was born in Quebec about 1780 . She married John Freisman and they had one child in Quebec before coming to Niagara. If the censuses are correct, John Freisman was born in England. I can't find any records of their marriage in the Drouin Collection.
Joseph Haines, Sr. was born in Germany and immigrated to New York about 1760. He had a lease from Sir Wm. Johnson for a tract of 100 acres of land in Tryon County at a cost of 6 pounds a year. There, he raised seven children until the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, when his three sons went to serve in the King's Royal Regiment of New York. One of his sons was killed. He later joined John Butler's Corp of Rangers along with two of his three remaining sons. He and his family fled to Quebec wi…
