Notes: from ancestry.com. George is listed as died in "Young's Grove".. though I BELIEVE this is supposed to be Youngs Cove.

From Wiggins History of Queens Co., NB (1876):

"SMITH. George, born in Liverpool, England. He settled at Young's Cove in 1816, on the farm now owned and occupied by his son George Nelson, where he died, February 12, 1846, aged fifty-two. He was by trade a ship carpenter. His wife's maiden nam e was Magdalen Hanselpecker. In the year 1854 her house was struck by lightening. Mrs. Smith, at that moment, was standing at the mantel, when one of her shoes was torn from her foot and a pound note that lay upon the chimney piece, near her, driv en across the room and forced into the wall with the velocity of a bullet. Strange to say, she escaped without
permanent injury. Their children were: Eleanor Jane, who married William Smith; Isabella, Eneas Elkins; John, Mrs. Haynes; Julia Ann, Alexander McKentyre; William Henry, Elizabeth Scott; George Nelson, Margaret Gibson; Eunice, Charles Gunter; Isaa c, Provelia Wiggins.

Eleanor Jane and her husband moved to Goderich, Canada, in 1851, where they still live in comfortable circumstances.

John has for the greater part of his life followed the seas, and is now captain and part owner of the three-masted schooner, 'Charles E. Scammell'. William Henry lives at Portland. George Nelson and Isaac are comfortable farmers in Waterborough . The former is foreman and manager for Mr. Andrew Lipsett."

  • Name: Magdalene Hanselpacker
  • Birth: 1799 in: Grand Lake, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada
  • Death: 22-JUN-1858 in: Grand Lake, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada
  • Father: John Hanselpacker
  • Mother: Julia Balmain

Notes: Baptized same day as Phillip. Of note, she is listed in obituary, as dying on 22 June 1858, aged 59. This puts her birthdate at some point before June 1799, as if she had already turned 59 by June, she would have to have been born prior to June , in 1799, or as early as late 1798, if she was due to turn 60 in 1858! This does become a "cause for pause" in that her parents were not married until Feb-1799. Even if she'd JUST turned 59 at time of her death, she's have been a "love child" . The other, and "easier" option/possibility is that the newspaper got the wrong age information.
