    Notes:

    His first wife was Mary Ann ROBINSON (born 1827) who died May 11, 1883, age 56 years and 8 months, a native of Grimsby, LIN. They had 12 children. Benjamin died at the home of one of his daughters in a house just north of the four corners in Whitby. He was a Brethren by denomination, a branch of the Quakers. A tall man, over 6 feet tall, he had an interesting life. He lived at Port Whitby after emigrating in 1856 to Canada. He was involved with sailing, then was an engine driver when Chester DRAPER was Harbour Master; later he was a county constable, and a contractor for moving buildings. Currently there is a street or court in North Whitby named Worfolk. His grand-daughter Effie PRESTON at 99 Court St., Oshawa (728-2995), knows no nothing about Charlotte. In fact until recently, she didn't know that her grandfather had married for the second time (13 Apr 1996).

    Benjamin married SAMELLS Charlotte 17 Nov 1885, Oshawa, Durham ONT. Charlotte (daughter of SAMELLS John and BASKERVILLE Grace) was christened 8 Aug 1832, Ashwater DEV; died 6 Apr 1895, Whitby, Durham ONT; was buried , St. John's Cemetery, Port Whitby ONT. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Died:
    John's death in May 1839 came only a month after the birth of his sixth child Ruth born 13 Apr 1839. He had gone to a village named Egg Buckland DEV, near the sea and was living with relatives of his wife on the WEEKS side. I suspect he was trying to regain his health and also did not want to communicate the disease to his young family. The name on the death certificate is John SHAMELS.
