TIMELINE

Ontario was known as: "Upper Canada" from December 26, 1791, to February 10, 1841; "Canada West" from February 10, 1841, to July 1, 1867; and "Ontario" after July 1, 1867.

It is surmised that Nathaniel Abner Abbey Sr. (age 22), and his wife Mary "Polly" (Winter) Abbey (age 21), and their two children, Rosana Abbey (about age 2), and Isaac Phineas Abbey (about age 1), came to Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada, in 1797. They were some of the pioneering settlers of Durham Co., Upper Canada. The Abbey ancestry can be connected through their father Isaac Abbey Jr. all the way back to John Abbey Sr., born about 1587 in West Halton, Lincolnshire, England. His son, John Abbey Jr. of Norwich, Norfolk Co., England, emigrated to the United States about 1635 and married Mary Loring in 1635 at Wenham, Essex Co., MA.

It is also surmised that Nathaniel Abner Abbey Sr.'s brother, Isaac Abbey III (age 31), and his wife Anne (King) Abbey (age 30), his unmarried sister, Dorcas Potts Abbey (age 17), and their infant nephew, Clement Edmond Neff Sr. (age age 5), came to Haldimand Twp., Northumberland Co., Upper Canada, about 1802.
