Charlotte Aurellia Humphreys
I have very little Information about this family. Bill Humphreys in Windsor, Ontario sent this information about her in an email. He spells her middle name "Orelia" but I have a legal document signed on September 12, 1871 by Charlotte and all her living brothers and sisters. There her middle name is spelled "Aurellia". This document is a Quit Claim Indenture where all the children of Dr. John and Jane Warren sign and give up any claim to 100 acre Crown Patent finalized deeded to Dr. Humphreys in 1852. This indenture signs over the property to Jane Warren Humphreys, Dr. John's widow.
Bill wrote: "Charlotte Orelia Humphreys, Born 1830 died 1908 in Ridgetown, 12 miles from Duart. She married Hiram Owens and always lived close to her parents. She was baptized in the same church that we attended, Trinity Church half way between Morpeth and Palmyra. 1/2 mile from the farm where I was born."
Later in September of 1887 Jane Warren divests herself of all her property and divides it among her children. Charlotte receives 10 acres. Charlotte sells this property to a George Watson in June 1888.
I recently received an email from Donald and Muriel Mae Moffatt saying that they were descendents of Charlotte Aurellia Humphreys. Below is that Gmail. I cannot explain why the email is signed Don and Betty.
Ms. Marla;
Received your family site from a William (Bill) Humphreys, Windsor Ontario, Canada. Have gone over it lightly and will give it more later on. Wanted to just get in touch and say that the Family Tree is Sprouting another Branch. I'll start with a familiar name Humphreys, Owens, Silcox, Shamley, Moffatt. There are many more because of marriages but the above names are the main Players. Just a start, Charlotte Orelia Humphreys married Hiram S. Owens. They had 5 Girls and 1 Boy. In that group is a Mary Marie Owens B-08-29-1875. She married Silvester Silcox, 2 boys and 2 girls. One girl named Annie Mae Silcox 06-18-1898. She married a Charles Henry Shamley, having 2 girls and 2 boys. One girl named Muriel Mae Shamley B-04-29-1926; She married a Donald James Moffatt. When this all boils down and figured out Charlotte Humphreys is Muriel (Shamley's) Moffatt Grt. Grd. Mother? Is this another branch sprouting on your Tree? If this is true, would you like some genealogy on these families?
We are both retired and live in Jensen Beach, Florida, have 2 boys and 1 girl, all living with their families in Michigan. Glad to meet you even if it was by a web site
Betty and Don Moffat
