Biography

Julia was born in 1857. She is the daughter of Reuben Secor and Jane Countryman. [1]

Notes

  • Mary did not appear on the 1851 census with William Countryman's family as she was married. In the 1871 census, she, her husband, and family were living near William Countryman's and her sister Hannah Martin's family in Prescott. Mary's husband, Reuben, was a distant cousin of James Secord whose wife was Laura Ingersol. Laura Secord was a Canadian heroine in the War of 1812 who warned the British of a surprise attack by the Americans in the Niagara region[2]
  • After their son Hiram died, from a tree branch falling on him, his brother William married and traveled to the northwest United States in 1890. William returned to Ontario and persuaded his mother, Mary, and his sister, Julia, to come out west, and they did. In 1899, Mary returned to northern New York State and persuaded her daughter-in-law, Susannah, that her children would have a better life in the northwest as her late husband had wanted. Susannah sold their farm, the land that Hiram was clearing when he died, and the family traveled west to Vancouver, British Columbia, on the Canadian train. Then they took a boat south to Tacoma, Washington, where they settled.
