James HITCHCOCK

1816 - Bef 1871  (< 54 years)

• Name	James HITCHCOCK  [1]
  Birth	1816	,,, Ireland   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	The Canadian Census records of 1851 show Ireland as the birth place of James. We know that he came with his parents Benjamin and Cecelia from the West Indies in 1819 when Benjamin's Battalion was disbanded and he was offered land in New Brunswick. Cecelia is registered as of Irish origin. In a document entitled Corporal Benjamin Hitchcock, a Native of Bridgnorth, Shropshire and a Military Settler of New Brunswick, Canada by Mort Hillman of Burnaby, BC, Mr. Hillman states that James was born in the West Indies. As far as I know documents to support this have not yet surfaced in any research so far. Pat Nicholson accepts Ireland as the birthplace of James as does Margaret Drost also a descendant of Benjamin. In her notes Cecelia is identified as being Irish. We also have not identified a marriage record for Benjamin and Cecelia. There has been no record of birth or christening for James or for his mother Cecelia Collins. [These notes courtesy of Marlene Hitchcock.] The death certificate for Walker Hitchcock, son of James Hitchcock and Cecelia Collins, recorded the birth place for James as "West India Islands".
