----------------------------
Shropshire, England families that possibly contained our Benjamin Hitchcock

     Richard Hitchcock m. 20 July 1783 to Mary Knoke(Knox) at Stottesden and Farlow, Shropshire , England. Richard and Mary's children: 1. Mary Hitchcock christened 29 August 1784 2. Benjamin Hitchcock christened 31 May 1789, 3. Richard Hitchcock christened 29 January 1792 died 2 October 1795 at Stottesden and Farlow.

     John Hitchcock m. 4 May 1784 to Dorothy Milner (christened 28 August 1763 daughter of Thomas and Dorothy Milner). Marriage at Stottesden and Farlow Parish, Shropshire, England.
John and Dorothy's children: 1. Sarah Hitchcock chr. 13 July 1784 Stottesden and Farlow. 2. Thomas Hitchcock chr. 6 August 1785 Stottesden and Farlow. 3. Ann Hitchcock chr. 20 January 1788 Corely Parish , Shropshire. 4. Benjamin Hitchcock chr. 18 October 1789 Corely Parish. 5 John Hitchcock chr. 20 or 2 February 1794 Corely Parish. 6. Elizabeth Hitchcock chr 31 July 1796 Corely Parish. 7. Susanna Hitchcock chr. 14 April 1799 Corely. 8. Richard Hitchcock chr. 13 September 1801 Billingsley, Shropshire. 9. Amy Hitchcock chr. 3 April 1803 Billingsley. 10. Cicely Hitchcock chr 16 March 1806 Billingsley.

     Military records for our Benjamin Hitchcock show Bridgnorth, Shropshire as his place of birth. Bridgnorth is about seven miles from Stottesden. Corely Parish is also a short distance from Stottesden. Could our Benjamin be the son of John and Dorothy ? Perhaps, they are of the same age. However, we tend to believe that our Benjamin is the son of Richard and Mary. I speculate that following the custom of naming first born children after parents or grandparents, James the first son could have been named for the father of Cecelia. The second son Benjamin for his father and then Richard for his grandfather and Mary Ann for her grandmother Mary Knox.

     Researchers have not been able to document the parentage of both Benjamin and Cecelia. A record of their marriage has not surface either, so far. In the Canadian Census of 1851 Cecelia, states that she was born in England. Their son James gives Ireland as his place of birth. In The Canadian Census of 1891, Walker Hitchcock their grandson, gives British West Indies as the place of birth of his father James. Family oral history speaks of Cecelia as being of Irish descent. Perhaps, someday we will uncover documents to support our belief that the Benjamin, son of Richard and Mary may be claimed as our own and that we can establish where and when both Cecelia and James were born..

     Bridgnorth is a picturesque town situated in Shropshire on the river Severn, a short distance form the border with Wales. It is an ancient town, said to have been founded by a daughter of King Alfred. A large portion of the castle, built shortly after the Conquest still remains. It is a mining as well as an agricultural region. Early on, Bridgnorth had establishments for the manufacturing of carpets and tanneries as well as malthouses. Today, Bridgnorth and surroundings has an active tourist trade, being one of the most picturesque areas of England. You can visit by internet by searching Google.ca and entering the name of the town. Interesting !

     Benjamin enlisted in the army around 1810. In 1812, he enlisted in the Royal Cardigan Militia, which in 1812 was stationed at Limerick, Ireland. On 28 June 1812, as a private, he transferred to 6th Company, 2nd Battalion, 36th Regiment of Foot, which was stationed at Blatchington, Sussex, England. This regiment's first battalion was an important part of several peninsular battles against Napoleon's forces. If Benjamin was with this battalion, then he would have been present at the costly victory of July 1812 at Salamance, Spain. He deserted on 24 August 1812. There is no record of his military service for the next eighteen months, although one might assume that he spent part, if not all of this time in prison for deserting. Little is know about Benjamin's desertion; why, where, and for how long. Once back in custody, he would have been court-martialed. As with many deserters in this period, his sentence was to serve in the unhealthy West Indies.

     On either the 15th or the 20th of February, Private Benjamin Hitchcock transferred from the 36th Regiment to the Royal West India Rangers. In these records, he is described as about 5 feet 8 and three quarters inches tall, of slender form; fair complexion; with hazel or grey eyes and light brown hair.

     From February 1814 to June 1815, he was stationed at Trinidad. From then, until March 1816 , he was at Guadeloupe; at least part of that time as a member of Captain Jack's Company(or 1st Rifle Company). From then until February, 1817, when he was transferred to 8th Company, he was at St. Lucia. From March until June, 1817, he was at St. Vincent. The Regiment then moved to St. Kitts, where on the 25th July 1818 he was promoted to Corporal. In June 1819, the Regiment was transferred to Saint John New Brunswick. They arrive on 10th of June aboard the Buerdon, Aleona and the Star under the command of Lieut. Col. Lavicourt. Here the regiment was disbanded. Those who were content to stay and settle on the Saint John River were allotted land; some farming implements, a proportion of seeds, and three years provisions. Benjamin Hitchcock, who had a wife and one child (James) at this time, was one of forty soldiers who choose to stay and settle in Ranger Settlement.¹

Note*

Cecelia (Celia) Hitchcock, daughter of Benjamin Hitchcock and Cecelia Collins, Married James Higgins of Higginsville (Musquodoboit), near Halifax, Nova Scotia, 26 November 1844 at Andover, New Brunswick.

At the marriage of Benjamin Hitchcock (2) and Catherine Dee at Andover, 3 August 1846, the witnesses were James and Celia Higgins. James and Celia are not listed in Canadian Census records of 1851 for the Grand Falls, Andover region. I found them in the Census records of 1851 for Middle Musquodoboit, Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, Reel # M-3138, Canadian Archives, Ottawa. For the same region in 1871 they are listed with three children; John Robert, James Edward and Frederick.

James and Celia and family are not listed in the Census of 1881for this region. In the Census record for Drummond Parish, New Brunswick, we find James now a widow living in Drummond with sons, Edward, 21 yrs of age and Frederick, 19 yrs of age.

John Robert, 29 yrs is married to Sophia, 21 yrs and have two childred; Laura 2 yrs, and John E. 3 months old.

Apparently James and Celia moved back to New Brunswick with their family between 1872 and 1881.
Celia received a Land Grant of 100 acres, across the river from her parents, Benjamin and Cecelia. In 1976, James received a Land Grant of 100 acres next to his wife's 100 acres. Celia died between 1872 and the Census taken in 1881. Census Records for 1891, show James as 71 years of age in 1891, and residing as a lodger at the home of William Hamilton and Mary of Drummond, Victoria County, NB along with Samuel Hitchcock, 64 years of age and Jane Monteith 62 years of age. Samuel and Jane are registered as father and mother to the couple, head of household. Census of 1881 show Jane Monteith as a widow with children.

Celia and James' children married into families of the surrounding area, among them the McQuade and
Monteith families.
