Update: I’ve been searching for quite a while. I’m convinced that my Henry Hezekiah Waybrant is indeed the same person as Hezekiah Waybrant who married Isabella Brogan. It only took a trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City Utah to lead me onto the right path.
I found a reference to Waybrants in the Local History Book “Toil, Tears & Truimph- a History of Kincardine Township. p240”. This source identified that Philip Waybrant, a mechanic first came from Cape Breton to Kincardine Twp in 1854 and that he had been married twice with a total of 13 children. Hezekiah, Armenia, Alexander, Mary, Philip, Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, William, John, Henry, Catherine, Rueben and Esther.
I then validated that Ayr is in or near Kincardine Twp. I found the cemetery transcriptions at FHL for Ayr Cemetary and found the following cemetery plots purchased by Hezekiah Waybrant:
Brogau[Brogan], Mrs. John, Mother in law
Brogau[Brogan], 75, Father in law
Waybrant, Alexander, son
Waybrant, Maisy Ann, daughter
Waybrant, John Phillip, 27, son
Waybrant, William, son
Waybrant, Charles Harvey, 10, son
Waybrant, Isabella Brogu[Brogan], 35, wife
Subsequent searching of birth records for the children mentioned here turned up the registration for John Phillip. The parents on this record identify the father as “Henry Hezekiah Waybrant” and “Isabella Brogan”. Yippee ki aye!!!
Here’s the family I have confirmed now:
