The spiritual power of L.A.'s sacred ritual: burning incense
Russell FalconAugust 9, 2022
My studio apartment in West Adams is the closest I have to a temple. There's an accidental shrine to my 20s on the left side of my desk: A neat stack of unpaid bills, undeveloped reels of film. That jagged slice of amethyst was given to me by an old lover. A year's worth of photo booth strips and Polaroids and party flyers. A "magic candle" for creation from the House of Intuition next to an almost empty bottle of Agua de Florida. I have performed exorcisms for my previous versions here and pray for the new ones. I could attribute sanctity to almost everything that happens in this space, but there's one particular practice that fixes it all: At least once a day, a sweet, warm, pungent aroma overflows. filled with air, spilled through my window, found its way. into every crevice. My daily ritual is to burn incense.
As a custom, burning incense has been passed down by many different cultures throughout history. The purposes varied across eras and regions, but its connection to spirituality was inseparable throughout: from the measurement of the passage of time in ancient China, to the copal smoke that filled the walls. Sweating ceremonies in indigenous Mexico, became an integral part of worship and prayer in South Asian traditions. Some beliefs hold that smoke itself can purify energy, or that when used in meditation, the aroma can be a tool to bring us back to ourselves, our senses, our breath. ta. Since I was a teenager, it's been one of the most tangible ways for me to access spirituality – there's something special about the lingering scent of burnt perfume it leaves on my hair and clothes. me, the way the white smoke coils itself in while burning. Burning incense brings everything into focus: Once the smoke clears, whatever problems I have – or who I want to be – become clearer.
In retrospect, it was a necessary ritual in itself. With any ritual – even those that don't seem spiritual, like drinking coffee alone in the morning or walking around my block at night – the magic lies in the action. I read somewhere that smokers are just as addicted to the smoking ritual as they are to nicotine. I don't know if this is scientifically correct, but the idea intrigues me: There are very few moments in the world that make you feel like ours – where we can stretch time and space. A ritual as a small moment can happen, if you will, your bad thoughts can be erased; you can appear new again. "We do rituals every day," says Marlene Vargas, co-founder of the spiritual organization House of Intuition. "But we don't do it on purpose. If and when we begin to really understand ritual through intention, that's where the beauty and the magic lie. "
For millennia, incense has served as a gateway to this feeling – or an opportunity to express it. It's what has the most powerful effect on the olfactory system, activating our innate knowledge: We know this smell, at the cellular level. We know, directly or ancestrally, that it is connected with something sacred. Today, there are many incense manufacturers and suppliers that sell sticks and powders, organic rolls and blends of elegant scents that evoke the sensations of leather and eucalyptus, while at most liquor stores, you can still find compilation classics, like "Sex on the Beach. "In 2022 LA, incense is as important to our daily routine as it was thousands of years ago. It's more than just lighting up a stick and scented your home. It's about the energy behind it. Through the ritual of burning incense, we invite in hope.
The scent meets you on Crenshaw before you step into the Taj Mahal Imports, the local outpost for body lotions, shea butter, Jamaican black castor oil and, yes, handcrafted fragrances and goods. They come in the form of long plastic bags dripping with mahogany oil that can stain your fingers with their spicy aroma. The novelty scents feature names like "Michelle Obama," "Dolce & Gabbana," "Paris Hilton," "Lick Me," "Patti LaBelle," "Cashmere" and "Baby Powder." About a dozen wooden sticks are packed in a $1 bag. Looking at the wall of incense is like looking at a crystal ball of collective references – from pop culture, from group memories, from smells, feelings, aspirations – crushed and turned into something to burn. on fire.
Likewise, when you drop into Incense Route, a small shop on the corner from the Wholesale Center, off Los Angeles Street, stacks of incense boxes provide opportunities for love, new customers, and new business. your own or a way to prevent envy from others. There are labels that claim they will bring luck and blessings forever; Others promise a festive night or to open your third eye. So, a lot of choosing the right fragrance lies in what you're hoping to last or sympathize with it. Each label is a small expression, a special moment awaited when everything has turned to ashes. It seems that today's most popular scents and blends seem to reflect all of our desires.

At House of Intuition, clients seek money, love, and healing – in that order. The 10-store chain, which started in Echo Park in 2010, sells a blend of all-natural incense, resin, and handmade sticks. Among the blends, is Iré Ayé, which blends patchouli, palo santo, frankincense powder and dragon's blood, ingredients that together "show abundance of money and encourage the magical rain of riches". Fe Ocan, a deep red blend of gum, rose, white copra, red sandalwood and amber, "encourages love in all its forms". Iwala "balanced"[s] body and mind" with gum arabic, sandalwood, lemongrass, orange peel, frankincense and white copra.
Vargas explains that plants retain certain properties on their own. The resins (hard, scented resins from the trees) sold at the House of Intuition – including white copra, dragon's blood, frankincense and myrrh – serve different purposes. "Those are the most traditional flavors," says Vargas. "Things that have been here for thousands of years. They have a lot more longevity to them. However, we do not use them often because they are sacred tools." When performing a cleansing ritual at someone's home, Vargas would use the dragon's blood to dispel heaviness or bring love; She uses white copal to invite the spirits back. Frankincense, which Vargas likens to a father figure, creates a protective force field; and myrrh is often seen as a metaphor for Mother Earth because of its grounding effect. Choosing which one to burn is like picking up a money-green incense box that says "Attracting Money". "It's all about intent," Vargas said.
On my 18th birthday, just before I moved out on my own, my older, cold cousin – who had returned to town from a Mexican jungle tour – gave me a gift. gift. Inside the bag was a small metal tray, a turntable, and a sticky, yellow plastic bag that I later learned was copal. She shared with me: how I have to heat coal and burn copal on it, how it makes sense to clear my space and stimulate my energy. There was an unpleasant discomfort. It is not something you can light up and forget – the energy envelops you; thick opalescent smoke that cannot be released. When my cousin gave me this suit, she insisted that I was participating in a sacred ceremony with years of history behind it.
We've been doing this for ages: viewing history will go up in smoke. Incense was burned long before our generation (some of the earliest traces date back to Ancient Egypt) and will likely be burned long after us. There is a comfort in not only practicing a tradition we find meaningful, but also passing it on to those we love, who then find their own meaning in it. Ritual can change – and depending on the time frame and historical culture – but the purpose of ritual remains the same: to anchor us.
Alex Naranjo, another co-owner of House of Intuition, explains: "One thing she has turned into a spiritual practice after a difficult year of loss is her morning shower. After all, water is the element of emotions. Naranjo imagines it not just a physical wash but also an emotional, heaviness or depression that is swirling down the drain. In this space, Naranjo allowed himself to cry. The water coming out of the shower serves as an example and a metaphor. Her release allows her to better connect with her mother, who she recently lost, or her dog Jackson, who died last month. "It gives me a sense of comfort, like I'm connecting with someone I love," says Naranjo. "It doesn't have to be a big ceremony like this – the little things we do every day can turn into something meaningful because it's done on purpose."
My own incense ceremony always has the same beginning and the same goal. The center is me, feeling so small in a world that's too big to explain, trying to grasp something that's not my business (life, existence) and finding a sense of virtual control thought. First, I would clean my apartment – wash the dishes, make the bed, mop the surfaces, water the plants – and only when I'm done do I scan my options. The growing collection of scents on my coffee table provide an accurate snapshot of my subconscious wants and needs: "The Money Matrix", "Anti-Stress", "Super hit", "helps reduce the negative and increase the positive aspect of all zodiac signs." I took one of the long sticks, put the wooden end between my teeth, and lit it with a blue lighter. lemon like a joint I took the firestick out of my mouth, blew out the flame, put it in a cheap incense stick I bought from Santee Alley and took a deep breath now I can actually start or end your day.
My apartment has an arched doorway that somehow seems iconic. Getting through it feels like entering a sacred space – reflection, forgiveness, and revelation happen here. I break myself and build myself back here. The residual scents that caught my attention first: warm ash, burnt flowers, sage and sandalwood. It smells like incense that has been burned over the years to represent love, happiness, and success.
"It takes you back to the memory of being in a prayer space," Vargas said of incense. "You feel that divinity when we step into a space where we believe in holy faith that God exists. Burning incense makes me think of those moments."
When I light a lamp here, when the golden light of evening or morning shines through the curtains, revealing swirls of smoke dancing toward the ceiling, I feel like I'm seeing a version of myself. something of the divine.

From 2001-2017, we used this website to ask for new information on the first generation of Petworth emigrants. The replies we received are listed alphabetically by the family names of emigrants.
Background of Elizabeth Barnes before emigrating.
Records from the House of Industry, Isle of Wight and the 1831 census.
I don't have much except details that I have discovered in searching my family history. William Boxall had a son, John Boxall who married Lucy Parfitt. Lucy's son was Thomas Boxall who married Fannie Munro. They had a daughter Iley Frances Boxall who is my great grandmother.

William and George Coleman left Canada and moved to Chicago, Illinois about 1840-42. The 1850 census shows William living with George and Elizabeth Voice Coleman and their family.
In 1854, William married Mary Elliott, daughter of James Elliott and Mary Voice Elliott. Mary Voice Elliott was the sister of Elizabeth Voice and Cornelius Voice who accompanied her and her family to America in 1846.
William and Mary Coleman had six living children, three died at birth.
The Colemans moved to Kansas in 1858 for better land. William and Mary are both buried at South Cedar Cemetery, Jackson County, Kansas. George Coleman and Elizabeth Voice Coleman are buried there as well.
These are the children of William and Mary Coleman.
1. Clara Ellen Coleman b 15 Apr 1855, near Chicago, d.15 Dec 1908, married Frederick Harwood, her cousin, they had three children.
2. Ernest Coleman b. 27 Jun 1858,Chicago, Ill.
Photographs of William's children and a picture of a Coleman reunion, William was deceased and we have no picture of him.
I am looking for the parents of William Coleman. Family lore says he was a nephew of Petworth emigrant George Coleman Jr. We believe William emigrated with his grandparents George Coleman Snr and Sarah Pollard, and three of their children Lucy, George and possibly John.
I do have a copy of a photograph of a large group of Colemans in Kansas following their settling there in 1858.
My Great Great Grandfather William Coleman (b1826) travelled on the British Tar in 1834 to Canada. A child, he travelled with family members headed by George Coleman, but apparently he was not with his parents. I assume he was born in or around Lewes, England, but I have been unable to determine his parents' identities.
Any information about my great grandfather Charles Crossin who emigrated from the Isle of Wight and settled in Waterloo County in the 1830s.
The information in Assisting Emigration to Upper Canada is erroneous- concerning the family's records in Canada. The Petworth Daniels were confused with the William Daniels family (wife Elizabeth Reed) originating in Devonshire, England, which arrived slightly later and stayed in Wilmot Township for several generations. Additional, known children born in Upper Canada to the Petworth couple were George (c1838) and Elizabeth (c1840). A child Jane Daniels age 5 is in their 1851 census household and has not been identified. Parents William and Elizabeth are not seen again after the 1851 census. Marriages and deaths have not been found for any family members except the son George.
1833 and 1837 census/assessments Wilmot Township; 1851 census North Easthope; marriage record of son George at Blenheim Township, Oxford County in 1865.
Archives of Ontario vital records, census, marriage registers, cemetery transcripts.
When and where did William and Elizabeth die? Did their son William marry? Who were the parents of Jane age 5 in the 1851 census? Who are William Daniels age 50 and wife Elizabeth age 53 in North Easthope in the 1871 census?
I believe their daughter Annie born 1833 was married to Hugh CARGILL as they were neighbours to John and Clara Ford in 1851 census in South Dumfries outside Brantford. The Fords landed up in Essex, the Cargills in Parry Sound.
The connection between the Fords in 1835 to the Cargills in Parry Sound.
James Greenfield and his wife Prudence Powell emigrated to Canada c1835 with their sons James bap 4 Dec 1831 and George b 28 Feb 1834, bap 23 March 1834 in Duncton. Six more children were born in Brant County, Ontario: Annie b Dec 1835, Joseph b 1839, Agnes b 1842, Benjamin b 1848, Ruth b 1852 and Mary b 1855.

NB Although Thomas Sockett was the rector of Petworth and Duncton, the records most likely to identify parish emigrants have not survived.
Descendants of John Stephens Holmwood and his wife Leah Hopkins.
I am looking for info on George and Margaret Hopkins and his sister Sarah. Sarah came to Canada in 1837 on the Diana with her 3 kids Emily, Haise/Esau and Isabella. No record of her after 1837.
He was in the 1st Dragoon Guards and was awarded a medal at the Battle of Waterloo in 1814.
Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Registers of Soldiers Who Served in Canada, 1743-1882. William James was in this hospital in February 1819 and had his pension commuted on 18 March 1832 to assist him to emigrate to Canada.
William was married and had a daughter, Mary Ann, born 1822 and a son, George, born 1825 in England. Mary Ann married on 29 April 1842 in London, Ontario. In L.A.C. there is an entry for William James that is asking for a grant to title for his property in Adelaide, Ontario on East Half Concession 3, Lot 19 so he could sell part of it. Document dated Aug 21 1837, that he acquired land from Col. Mount in 1832. Witnesses were Fred. Hasted and Joseph Paine who were neighbours of William James.
Trying to establish whether William James emigrated with the PEC and to fill in the blanks between 1819-1832 and 1837-1840.

Noah was the son of Petworth emigrants Samuel and Ann Mann. He married Elizabeth Sherwin and they emigrated with their children Noah Jr, Ambrose, Meshec, Shadrac, Hannah, and Ellen. I am seeking more information about Ambrose MANN, born c1828, son of Noah and Elizabeth. Was there also a William MANN among the children?
Noah and his family settled in what is now Elgin County - Yarmouth township (no longer Yarmouth township).
In the 1842 Census he listed as a tenant farmer on the lake road not far east of Port Stanley.
In 1844 he purchased 150 acres - lot 22, first concession Yarmouth and also acquired 150 acres lot 23, 1st concession. These properties were mortgaged year after year and when Noah died on 28 March 1881, he owed his son-in-law John P. Martyn $4000.00 and interest.
In the 1865 Sparta Directory it lists Noah and his brother Eli as manufacturers of stoves and agricultural implements. Elizabeth in 1881 went to live with her son Nelson (1881 census). She died 30 March 1882 (tombstone).
Noah and his wife Elizabeth are buried in Sparta South Cemetery, Yarmouth township, Elgin County.
Shadrack, born in Wisborough Green, Sussex 25 April 1832, was only 4 years old when his parents, Noah and Elizabeth and other members of his father's family left for Canada.
Shad married Mary Ann Fielding about 1853.
In the 1861 census he and Mary Ann and their three first children - Elizabeth (Lizzie), Lillian and Mary Ann - are listed as living in the township of Ancaster, Wentworth county (C-1085 - district 3) and Shad is described as a machinist.
After 2 more children - Laura and Annie Maria were born to them, Mary Ann died 18 December 1864 and is buried in Sparta South Cemetery, Yarmouth township, Elgin County beside where Shad's parents, Noah and Elizabeth would later be buried.
By the 1871 census Shadrack is living in Middlesex West, Strathroy Village and is described as a moulder (page 61, C-9901-2). He had married again to Ruth E. Foreman, who, I believe, was a widow with at least 2 children.
In 1881 he is still in Strathroy, Middlesex East (C-13269). Shadrack and Ruth had at least 3 children, Frances, James and Arthur.
Shadrack died at 298 George St. Sarnia on 18 April 1913 (death registration) and is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Sarnia with his second wife Ruth who died in 1897. Also buried there are Art (1968) and his wife Ruth (1968) as well as Shad's first daughter, Lizzie (also died in 1913).
Family Tree. Samuel Merritt and Harriet Lulham Merritt are my Great-Great Grandfather's brother (Moses Merritt) and sister-in-law. I have photos and info on their descendants including Frederick Merritt who immigrated to Canada in 1912.
Samuel and Harriet Merritt, with various children born from 1837 onwards, can be found in Sussex on the 1841-1891 Census. All children were born in Sussex. It seems quite unlikely that they emigrated to Canada in 1835 after all. It is just possible that they went with baby Thomas and returned the following year, but unlikely that Samuel, as an assisted emigrant, could have made enough money to return to England so soon.
The Samuel Merritt age 35, with 'wife and child', who is mentioned in PHA142* could well be a different man with the same name.
Can any Merritt descendants help clarify the Petworth emigrant?
We are very grateful to April for bringing this to our attention.
I am seeking information about George Morley, baptised 2 July 1820 in Lurgashall. He emigrated with his parents and siblings Mary, William, Hannah, James, Stephen, Michael, Edwin and Thomas.

There was a Henry Peacock staying at the Albion Hotel in Quebec City on 14 July, 1847. This is on shipslist.com, and I have the newspaper clipping also, that I got from the Ontario Archives in Toronto. We assumed that this was our Henry Peacock from Petworth arriving in Canada, but your information is that he came over in 1850. Can you tell me where your information came from?
Our Henry was married 2 or 3 times (at least his first 2 children seem to be from 2 different women) and lived in Ancaster Township, Wentworth County (1851, 1861); East Nissouri Township, Oxford County (1871); Vespra Township, Simcoe County (1881); emigrated to Michigan about 1888; is in the 1889/1890 Saginaw City directory in Buena Vista Township, Saginaw County; Buena Vista Township, Saginaw County (1900, 1910, 1920).
He died in Buena Vista Township on 29 February, 1920. His wife, Phoebe Elizabeth (Cole) Peacock gave his birthdate as 21 April, 1830. and his parents' names as George Peacock and Elizabeth Forth. The problem is, we have Henry's father marrying an Eliza Holden in Fittleworth (near Petworth) on 24 June, 1822. Also, on Henry's marriage record to Phoebe, he gives his mother's name as Eliza, not Elizabeth.
In my years of researching I have found that Eliza and Elizabeth are NOT interchangeable (I even have one relative named Eliza Elizabeth Twinn), so we think Phoebe was incorrect on the death record. She (or whoever gave the information) was very inconsistent on the 1900, 1910 and 1920 censuses, giving 3 different birthplaces for her father (all wrong) and 2 different birthplaces for her mother (both wrong). Henry and Phoebe had 10 children from 1860 to 1884, some of whom stayed in Ontario and some of whom went to Michigan with them. The COLEs and PEACOCKs intermarried 3 times between 1858 and 1917.
Henry's children married: Cole, Mason, McDermott, Butts, Dean, Bailey/Leach, Reinke.
Editorial note: The source we have for Henry Peacock emigrating from Petworth in 1850 was the Public Record Office - now National Archives - MH12 13063 (Ministry of Health papers), where details of some parish assisted emigrants can be found.
Correction to baptism information in Assisting Emigration, Section 2, Emigrants on Petworth Ships 1832-1837. Following recent research into Barnet's Mill, we find that John Pratt was baptised in Woolavington, West Sussex on 7 Sept 1801, the son of John and Sarah Pratt.

We would be pleased to hear from descendants of John Pratt formerly of Barnet's Mill.
John Pratt was baptised 7 Sep 1801 at St Peter's East Lavington, the son of John Pratt and Sarah Halstead Newman of Barnett's Mill, Woolavington – one of nine children.
He married Jane Grant /Garrett in Canada. They had six children:- Robert b1841; John S b1842; George Henry b1845 married Malenor Rands, four children; James b1846 married Mary A Rose, three children; Sarah Halstead 1847 married John Thacker, six children; Charles Newman 1850 married Martha C Lampman, two children; and Alfred b1851 married Sarah Ann Crawford, two children.
John died 18 Sept 1882 in Woodstock, Ontario.
In 1866 Thomas Galt and William Cayley, land speculators from Toronto, bought Lots 13 – 14, Conc 13 from the bank of Upper Canada. The following year Lot 14 was sold to Andrew Lensing, a wagon maker from the village of Hanover. The following year he sold to Hartman Ries, a blacksmith from Carrick Township. In 1872 Martin Woelfle of Sullivan Township bought the land from Ries. Apparently none of these owners made any attempt at clearing the land.
In February, 1878 the land went to John Pratt from Woodstock. The next October a son, George Pratt, brought his family here from Woodstock also. They immediately began clearing the land and erecting buildings. In a short time they had a log house, a barn, a horse stable and a granary. The barn, horse stable and granary still serve as implement sheds today. The Pratt's built the maple sugar camp that is still used in present times.
Today the land has been cleared and the camp now stands in the open field, some distance from the bush. The present door and frame of the furnace was part of the Fensom sawmill which was located on the former Cremmen farm. In 1894 the present barn was built.

Richard Pullen was born on 11 Sep 1790 in Sussex, England. Richard married Elizabeth Coleman daughter of Francis Coleman and Jane Payne in Northchapel, Sussex, England. Richard Pullen, his wife and 2 children, emigrated from Kirdford, Sussex, England as part of the Petworth Emigration in 1832, first residing in Adelaide Twp. By 1851 they were in Delaware and finally settled in Warwick Twp.
Richard's second marriage was to Susannah Hawes on 27 Jul 1841 in Adelaide Twp. He appeared in the 1871 federal census in Warwick Twp. Richard Pullen died on 3 Nov 1878 Warwick Twp, at age 88; cause was not given on death registration. He was buried on 4 Nov 1878 St. Paul's Cemetery, Wisbeach.
Richard Pullen should not be confused with the Richard Pullen [originally from Colhook Common, Northchapel, Sussex] of Delaware who married Frances Holden and remained in the Delaware area.
Editor's note: We would be delighted to hear of an original source for the information that Richard and Elizabeth emigrated with the Petworth Scheme in 1832. When we did the original research in 1990 we could not find any documentation in parish records etc to prove positively that the Pullens were included however it does sound extremely likely. The Revd Thomas Sockett said that 58 people emigrated from Kirdford but we were not able to identify them all.
Mary married James PENFOLD, a farmer c1842. They settled at Waterloo and had 2 children. James died in 1847 and Mary married John B LEE c1849 and had 6 more children. Mary died on 16 Jan 1910 and is buried at Elmwood Cem., Winnipeg, MN.
Phillip married Elizabeth STACKHOUSE on 29 Dec 1850 at (Blenheim Twp?) Oxford Co. They lived at Blenheim, Wawanosh and Chippewa Twps. They had 14 children Philip was a farmer and died in his barn on 8 Dec 1894 in Chippewa Co. MI.
Isaac married Mary Ann WATKINS in March 1859 at Clinton, Huron Co. He was a farmer, died on 9 March 1904 and was buried at Ball's Cem., Hullet, Huron Co. They had 5 children.

Refer to page 270 in Assisting Emigration: A fourth child of William and Matilda Saunders "not found" was Emma. Born on 21 April 1828 at Wisborough Green and baptised on 18 May 1828 at Coldwaltham, Sussex. William and Matilda had four more children born in the US. William Saunders became a Justice of Peace, as well as a Brickmason.

Correction to entry in Assisting Emigration. Charles and Esther had five daughters who sailed with them; in addition to Sophy bap 6 Feb 1820; Elisabeth bap 2 Sep 1821 and Olive bap 29 Apr 1832 all in Wisborough Green, there was also Ann baptised 5 June 1825 in Felpham and Ellen bap 10 May 1828 Chichester. Their only son Thomas bap 25 Jan 1824 was buried in Wisborough Green on 3 Apr 1824 and therefore did not emigrate.
I have two photographs of Sophy Southerton's daughter Delilah Andrews. Sophy married Mordica Louis Andrews, and Delilah married John W. Kuhn.
John Thair, b 1831 in Lodsworth, son of George and Rhoda Thair, was residing with Petworth emigrant Thomas Adsett at Woolwich Twp in 1851. Thomas had two daughters so perhaps a young man was needed to help on the farm. John married Hannah GOODWIN on 2 Feb 1854 at Woolwich, Waterloo, CW.
Dundas, then Galt, Dumfries Twp.
Where are Rhoda Thair (nee Rapson) and her two children Tom and Fanny aged about 25, in the 1851 Census of Canada?
Henry Tribe is my 3rd great grandfather. He was part of the Petworth emigration with (some) of his family in 1832. His daughter, Charlotte married Joseph Evans sometime shortly after her arrival in the Waterloo area of Ontario.These are my 2nd great grandparents. A letter cited in your book was written from Charlotte to her brother back in Sussex, England and signed by her husband (Joseph "Neuroke" Evans).
After some delay due to a cholera outbreak in the area, Charlotte and Joseph settled in Blenheim Township, Oxford County, Ontario and raised a family. Their first child, Connell, is my great grandfather.
Joseph Evans died April 2, 1867 in Blenheim Twp. Charlotte disappears from any records after the 1871 census, so is likely to have died between 1871 and 1881, also in Blenheim Twp. The gravestone for Joseph, located in Washington Cemetery, in Oxford County is inscribed Joseph '"V" Evans.
Is it possible that the transcription of the signature on the letter to England should have been Joseph "Vereker" Evans? This name (Vereker) is found in at least one of Joseph's descendants.
Blenheim Township, Oxford County, Ontario.
I have found evidence of a Joseph Evans born to William and Jane Evans in Rathkeale, Limerick, Ireland in 1795. Also, in 1798 Connell Evans, son of William Jones Evans and Jane Evans was baptized, also in Rathkeale. Perhaps a brother to Joseph. There are ancestral records of the name Connell Vereker back to 1679 in County Cork, Ireland. One of these is Connell Vereaker, born in County Limerick, in 1747. His daughter, Jane, born 1776, in Limerick could well be Joseph and Connell's mother. Unfortunately, I have not been able to ascertain her marriage to William Jones Evans.
Editor's note: The letter was a printed version, taken from Emigration Letters published in 1833. We have never come across the original letter so cannot look at the handwritten signature.
Not sure what I have is new; I can go back 6 generations and forward 7 generations from John and his brother George who emigrated with their families to Plympton and Adelaide Twp in Ontario.
John at Lot 9, Con 9 Plympton, Lambton Co, Ontario and George near Waterloo.
Considerable; too many to list.

John Voice was born on 19 July 1812 in Dover, Kent, the son of William and Mary Ann Voice. His sister Eliza was baptised in Cheriton, Kent in July 1815 while William was a soldier stationed at Shorncliffe Barracks, Cheriton.
William Voice had married Mary Ann Brevill on 3 Sept 1811 at Saltwood, Kent. They eventually returned to Billingshurst where William died in 1820. His widow Mary Ann then married widower William Bridger, a farmer at Wooddale Farm, Billingshurst and they had more children.
John emigrated on the British Tar in 1834 with the family of his uncle, Cornelius Voice.
John Voice married Jane Muzzoll on 15 May 1840 in Michigan City, Indiana. He signed the certificate as John. It seems likely that John and Jane had a daughter Matilda born about 1840 but then separated. The 1860 Census shows a daughter Matilda aged 20 living with his family.
John later changed his name to George Voice, a fact questioned by his sister Eliza in a letter she wrote to him in 1840.
George (John) Voice married Elizabeth Shaylor Clement on 26 July 1845, he signed the certificate 'George'. They had six daughters - Mary Elizabeth 1847-1849; Ellen Jane 1849-1867; Louisa Maria 1850-1941; Elizabeth Emma 1855-1872; Annis Amy 1857-1863 and Harriet Amelia 1862-1930.
Three letters written to John and sent from West Sussex – two from his sister Eliza in 1840 (from Thakeham) and 1847 (from Amberley) and one from his Mother Mary Ann Bridger in 1846 (from Billingshurst). They were transcribed and annotated by Leigh Lawson for West Sussex History, the journal of the West Sussex Archives Society and used here with permission.

Editorial comment. We are very pleased to learn the identity of John/George Voice. He was only mentioned by his first name, 'John' in letters written by William Voice in October 1834 and Cornelius Voice on 20th September 1835. We understood that he was a nephew but were not sure of his surname. William also refers to 'Mr Bridger and Rhoda' – we now know that Mr Bridger was William who later married Mary Ann Voice, and that Rhoda (also known as Ruth) was one of his daughters from his first marriage.
Lorraine Bear is the great-grand-daughter of John/George Voice and we thank her and her family for sharing with us the informative letters sent to Michigan from West Sussex.

Benjamin White was baptized on 11 Mar 1792 in Bignor, the son of Benjamin White and Mary Wicker of Bignor, and the older brother of Luke White who married Frances Ann Humphrey.
Benjamin married Mary Boxall on 29 Nov 1814 in Arundel. Benjamin and Mary had 9 children born in England and at least 2 more born in Canada. Both Benjamin and Mary may have been deceased before 1852 as no record of them could be found in the 1851/52 census of Ontario, and their younger children were all living as strays in households of the older siblings or neighbours.
Familial links were found for 9 of the children; and because the names and relative birthdates matched those that were baptized as children of Benjamin and Mary White, this couple was always suspected as being the progenitors of this family. From the township memories "Early Days of Innerkip Township" by Zella Hotson (Nov 1952), it was known that William White who married Margaret Wallace and James White who married Lizzie Turner were cousins of the children of Luke and Frances White. However, finding confirmation of the names of parents in either marriage or death records of the children proved very frustrating, and unsuccessful for over fifteen years. The early marriage and death records found in Ontario were before the times when parents' names were listed. The early marriages found in the United States did not give parents' names either, and all the death records that were found had "unknown" written beside the section for names of the father and mother of the deceased.
Recently, a second marriage record was found for their son Thomas White b. ca 1834 in Ontario, wherein he names his parents as Benjamin White and Mary Boxall. Since Thomas was not born in England, this document definitively proves that it was Benjamin and Mary who were the other 'White' family that came to Canada. Also, in the 1851/52 census of East Zorra Township, Thomas was listed as a stray in households of both James and Charlotte (White) Barney and William and Margaret (Wallace) White. By 1854, James and Charlotte (White) Barney moved to Concord Twp (Sheffield), Bureau Co., IL. , and in the 1860 census, Thomas is in Bureau Co., IL, and also in the 1865 special census of Concord Twp, Bureau Co., IL. In the 1870 census of Clinton Twp, Franklin Co., IA, Thomas is living next door to Solomon and Mary (White) Bearinger. Mary (White) Bearinger moved back to Michigan, but Thomas continued to live in Iowa until his death in 1926. Conversely, his mother and father were listed as "unknown" on his death record.

Editor's note: As Deborah says, the family must have emigrated either in April 1832 or April 1833. Arthur, the last child born in England, was baptised in February 1832 and the first child to be born in Canada was Thomas in 1834. The precise date of Thomas's birth is unknown but Frederick Hasted mentioned in his letter of February 1834 that he had seen 'the two Whites' – whom we now assume to be Benjamin and his brother Luke. Hasted wrote "The two Whites, told me they had their expenses paid by the kind interposition of Squire Hawkins of Bignor Park and for which they seemed grateful". Three ships sailed in April 1832, Lord Melville, Eveline and England. The England sailed in April 1833.
Luke White was baptised on 19 July 1801 in Bignor, one of many children of Benjamin White and Mary Wicker of Bignor. On 6 May 1823 he married Frances Ann Humphrey at Bury, West Sussex. They had 4 children born in Sussex and 4 more born in Canada.

I have a few photos of some of their later descendants.
Most of the sources were found on Ancestry.

Editors note. In 1991 we found and recorded Luke and Frances White with their four children in Bignor, West Sussex, but with no overseers records or vestry minutes extant for Bignor, we were unable to be certain that they were the 'two Whites' paid for by Squire Hawkins of Bignor Park, who were mentioned in a letter written in February 1834 from Fred Hasted in Adelaide Township. We are very grateful to Lee, for providing us with the information that Luke and Frances were indeed in Canada by 1834. Thomas Sockett noted that 16 men, women and children emigrated from Bignor in 1832, but did not name them.
Ann was living in Hamilton in 1851 with her daughter, Mary who emigrated from Dorking with her mother. In 1856 they emigrated from Ontario to the U.S. settling in Beloit, Rock county, Wisconsin. She died on 6 Nov 1870 in Beloit. Her daughter Mary, married name McCrimmon, died on 6 July 1887 also in Beloit.

John and his sister Mary came to Canada with their mother Ann Woolgar. Ann's husband William had died in Surrey when the children were small.
John lived near York. In 1850-51 he married Angelina Kelly. They bought a farm in Binbrook, Wentworth, Ontario. Had four sons: William, George, John, and James. (William was my great grandfather).
The elder John Woolgar died in Dec. of 1878 in Binbrook. Angelina and the 3 youngest sons continued to live on the farm until 1903 when it was sold.
Two sons emigrated to the United States and another son went to Saskatchewan Angelina went to Alberta with one son and his family and died there in 1905.
What became of Ann Woolgar and her daughter, Mary Woolgar after they arrived in Canada?
Angelina Kelly was born in Upper Canada but I have been unable to find any records for her.
I am seeking the lineage/parents of John Worsfold who married Maria Willard in Canada in 1834. I would also like to find out about the emigration of George and Ann Heppenstall [not with the Petworth project] who arrived in Canada – probably from Yorkshire - around 1830. John and Maria Worsfold's daughter married a Fearnley.
