notes from Alan Ross Parker

PBBA Elizabeth Parker was baptized as Eliza, the Anglican parish register of St. Andrews, QC, reading: "Eliza, daughter of Edward Parker and of Jane Dawson his wife born" November 15, 1831, and baptized February 22, 1832, "Jane Esther Smith Mary Ann Parker and Joseph Dawson being Sponsors." All made their marks rather than sign their names. In a double wedding ceremony at the Lakefield Anglican Church on March 18, 1857, she married William Morrison while her sister, Jane, married his brother, James. William and James were sons of Henry Morrison and Isabelle Kennedy. It must have been a great community occasion, especially for the two families involved and for their many relatives.

When William was old enough to do so, probably in 1853, he settled on one-half of lot one, range five in the Gore, and later bought half of the adjoining lot one, range six, in Wentworth. He resided there constantly on his well-stocked farm. He was justice of the peace for over 20 years. He was deputy master and master of the Orange Lodge. He was ensign of the Argenteuil Ranger, Co. #2, and went with them to the different places to which they were ordered during the Fenian Raids of the 1860's.

William died July 27, 1912 at Shrewsbury, QC, his home. Elizabeth also died there on October 9, 1914. There their 10 children were born, 1857-1874, 8 of whom grew to adulthood.
