Notes for George Greenwood and Margaret Ann Winch:

According to Beatrice Greenwood Ross, in a letter dated June 10, 1969, she was the daughter of John Greenwood, eldest son of George Greenwood and Margaret Winch. [Mrs Lincoln Ross, 17 Alma Street, St. Thomas, Ontario] In a letter dated July 22, l969, she told more about the family. She stated that George and Margaret 's children were born on a farm two miles from Wellesley Village, Ontario. She listed the children as John, Jennie Witt, Belle Mertz, James Greenwood, Mary Sproule and her twin sister Myra who died in infancy, William Greenwood, Lillian Hackett, George, Richard and Victoria Mortimer Willcox.

Margaret had her first child at age 19 and last at age 41. She was a widow for 41 years, not counting her unsuccessful second marriage.

She said her father built a stone house from rocks gathered from his own land "over l00 years ago." The 1861 census lists him living in a log house, built in 1859. She said the owner of the property in 1969 still lived in the stone house. The house was built on a hill which "today...still carried the name "Greenwood's Hill". Beatrice recalled that as a child she was so frightened that the horse pulling the buggy with "Dad and myself would never get us to the top". She noted that today, with all the improvements on roads for cars, the old hill does not look very steep. Her grandfather George, aged 46 years, died 6 September 1875, and is buried in Rush's Cemetery, a few miles from Wellesley. She stated that "Grandma Greenwood" (Margaret Winch), died at age 83, and is buried in Croswell, Michigan. She did not know the date, but it was "more than fifty years ago." It would seem she died about 1916. Beatrice said that "Aunt Vic's daughter" was only 53, and didn't remember. She hopes to find "Grandm's" Bible which has marriages, births and deaths recorded. Beatrice said "Aunt Vic prized it so much"; Eleanor (Vic's daughter], remembered the Bible being in her mother's possession. [Aunt Vic by this time was 98 years old, and her memory had apparently gone. ] Beatrice described Vic as a very "ambitious, energetic, loveable person, and done so much for others."

Beatrice went on to say that Grandma Greenwood went to the Western States (exact place unknown to her) after Grandpa's death;. Later she married her sister's brother-in-law, a Mr. Rowles. [Other sources refer to Rolles] "This union was not a success and she returned east and settled in Michigan. I am wondering if your dad [ James Greenwood, who according to the census records of Beauliew Township, North Dakota of l890 or 1900 immigrated to US in l882] I believe Aunt Jennie Witt did, also Rich and Vic Grandma, I believe, always went by the name "Greenwood" after she returned from the west. "

"Grandpa Greenwood is buried in Rush's cemetery next to where my parents, two sisters and a brother's graves are. The three children were stricken with diptheria, which there was an epidemic of the dreaded disease and so many families lost some little ones." [Beatrice]

Mabel Tobin, a daughter of George Greenwood--she refers to him first as Samuel George--says "Grandma's father was a Doctor, I know." [That is, Margaret Winch's father]. She refers to Margaret as Margaret Ann Rolle.
[note.. Samuel Winch was not a doctor.. he was a farmer as per the 1851 census in Ontario and the 1870 census, Menton twp, Lake County, Ohio... note by jca]
[ note.. so far we have not seen any evidence of a Mabel , a daughter of this George Greenwood.. notes by jca and Kevin Hackett.. 2006]

Eleanor Mortimor Moore, daughter of Victoria Greenwood, youngest child of Margaret Winch and George Greenwood, said in a letter to John Albert Greenwood of Wolf Point, Montana, that "Your father was born on Greenwood Hill, Wellesley, Ontario, Canada. It is still there." They [the family] went to Cross Hill, Episcopal Church. Eleanor stated that Margaret married Rolls after George's death. She said Margaret died at her mother's [Aunt Vic, Margaret's youngest child] at 83 years. "Mr Rolls went out to California to get gold, she wouldn't go with him to leave her family. She worked the farm l00 acres, big stone house. She was an awful worker. She would go out in the fields, the girls worked harder than the boys as she worked with them. She made bread and sold it and she ran the mail route too. She worked hard but was always prosperous.
When my mother was twelve, they came over here to live and settled in Roseberg, Michigan. I make that 1883 or so when they came to the US. [James claimed he immigrated in l882, to Pembina, North Dakota. BGS]

I have a note--origin unknown--that Margaret's mother died in about l842.

bullet Research Notes:

Also got a copy of George Greenwood's will--he died same year as Samuel Winch, 1875. The papers I got cleared up one mystery--George and Margaret had a daughter Lillian Hackett, but couldn't find her anywhere as a child, and a daughter Elizabeth, who couldn't be found as an adult: well, of course, turned out they are one and the same--Elizabeth Lilly.
