foxton cotton farm/mill.

[deafkat]

Hi helpers...

I would like to know if there any one knows of William Foxton who owns Cotton farm or mills early 1800 in Canada... he had some sons and his suppose younger son George Foxton miss out his share of the farm then he left home and came out to Australia and married after 1854...till his death in 1912

I would like to know where about in Canada that he lived and born in 1831... or was it in USA?


cheers from Kathleen....

Hi Kathleen,

Well, I don't think we've ever had cotton farming in Canada    Sounds more like you need to be looking in the southeastern US?

Hi, all...We have discussed this on a previous thread  (above url) that yes, there were some cotton/textile mills but not cotton farming.

Hi Kathleen,

Where did your Foxton's originally come from?

On 1851 census...There's a William Foxton, born 1792 Ireland..In Elizabethtown, Leeds Ontario....there's no doubt that if one made it big as a farmer one could have afforded to invest in cotton mills, but even the ones that he owned could also have been in the U.S. or Canada...Might be better to find more information other than occupation....J.J.

Hi Karen I really dont know all I know from what my father told me about Foxton...  from Canada...with cotton farm but on his death certificate showns America 53 years ? bad number print  or could be 63   he died here in Australia in 1912... at 81 years  so I am not sure but I see on family history site has some from UK and Ireland but none as his birth date there as well  as his birth in 1831 not in record ... so I found his is hard one to trace.

he suppose to be the younger son but thats all I know off  cheers  Kathleen..

Hi JJ  I really hope we can find out as I dont have much luck with this one and access into find census apart of the free ones...  but free ones  wont find George Foxton in it as he is in Australia or have died and he came out in 1854 era...

I was hoping some kind ones to find in the census for me over there opps.. who would have a better chance than I would...

if you can find the right one may be you can send me the info to me pls..
thanks for your time..
cheers Kathleen...

hi, Kathleen.,
Sorry, am I missing something?...Did he live in America for 53 years? The initial query says moved to Oz & married 1854.. .You have a marriage cert that says
that? Just wondering if we can clarify as my mind spins as it is  Luckily the
head  doesn't rotate with it    J.J.
