The Descendants of William Gorrill of Northam, PEI., 1820-1891

A Work in Progress

Compiled by George Edward Hart, [email protected]

William¹ Gorrill, the firstborn of John (IV)^A Gorrill and Sarah Brooke, was baptized in Holy Trinity Church of England 1 October 1820 at Milton Damerel, North Devon, where this Gorrill family had lived for four generations. After living briefly at nearby Sutcombe, where Catherine was baptized in St. Andrew Church, and Bradworthy, where John was baptized in St. John the Baptist Church, the family moved over the far northern Cornwall border to Kilkhampton, three miles from Bude Bay.

William was eleven years old when his mother died shortly after the birth of her sixth child and fourteen when his father married Susanna Sargent. William became an apprentice cordwainer in his father�s shop. We do not know exactly when he and his brothers John and Richard came to Prince Edward Island, probably through the influence and in a ship of James Yeo, the husband of Susanna�s sister, Damaris Sargent. It was before 11 November 1846, when William Gorrill signed a marriage bond of
A100 to Priscilla Williams, whom he married eight days later in St. James Church at Port Hill.

Priscilla, born 7 July 1826 in Bideford , PEI, was the daughter of Edward Williams and Agnes Ellis and the granddaughter of William Ellis, the pioneer shipbuilder, for whom there is a historic plaque in Bideford. Edward Williams, an apprentice ship�s carpenter, came out in 1818 with William Ellis, who bought the Chanter shipyard in Bideford and eventually lost it to the wily James Yeo.

William Gorrill leased nearly 100 acres from an absentee landlord in 1846 and settled down as farmer and shoemaker. There was land to be cleared and cultivated, field after field to be pole-fenced, and a homestead to be built. He and Priscilla had five daughters and five sons and probably more, for the census of 1861 reports that three had been born and three had died in a given period. The 1881 census shows in the household: William, 60; Priscilla, 55; Agnes, 27; William Henry, 25, and his wife, Olivia Dumville; Albert Richard, 17; Anna Eugena, 14; and Lilla Belle, 9.

According to Lovell�s PEI Directory of 1871, Port Hill in Lot 13 had become a hamlet of 350 people with shipbuilding, a biweekly stage to Alberton 25 miles away for a fare of five shillings, and mail biweekly.

William�s farm is recorded in the Meach Atlas of 1880 on page 44. He died 6 April 1891 at the age of seventy and Priscilla died 19 May 1895 in her 70^th year. Their gravestone is found at Lot 13, Centre 3, Stone 64 in St. James Anglican Cemetery, Port Hill.

Descendants of William Henry² Gorrill

William Henry² Gorrill (William¹), a son of William¹ Gorrill and Priscilla Williams, was born in 1850 at Northam. He helped his father with the farm until some time after he married 29 Dec 1880 Phoebe Olivia Dumville at her sister�s home in Summerside, the Reverend John Goldsmith officiating. Olivia was born 3 April 1852 to Samuel and Jane Dumville, who came from England (he was 75 in the 1881 census) and opened a general store at West Cape, Lot 7, PEI. The 1881 census of Lot 13 showed the newly weds living with his parents. Shortly afterwards they moved to Brandon, Manitoba, where Elsie May was born in 1885, but they soon moved to Bottineau, North Dakota and built a home and farm. Their five boys were born there: Ernest, Harry, Earl, John and Allison. In August 1896 their little boy John died as a result of an accident on the farm. In 1904 they decided to move to Mountain Home, Idaho, for a milder climate and the children went to school there. On hearing that good land was available in southern Alberta, they moved to New Dayton with Earl and Allison. They were active in the community and the Methodist Church. William Henry died 29 September 1920 and Olivia in 1930. Their five surviving children were:

I Elsie May³ Gorrill was born at Brandon, Manitoba, in 1885. With high school and business school education, she worked in an office at Mountain Home, Idaho, until she married William Howard in 1909. Ten years later they moved with their two children to New Dayton, Alberta, where he established a garage business. Eventually they moved to Watsonville, California, where she died in 1930 and he about 1940. They had three children.

2. Ernest³ Gorrill (William Henry² William¹), born at Bottineau, ND, in 1886, married Esther Strom in 1911 at Odessa, Oregon, where she died a year later.
3. Harry Franklin³ Gorrill (William Henry² William¹), born 20 May 1887 in Bottineau, moved with his parents to Mountain Home, Idaho, in 1904, graduated from high school and operated the Glendale Fruit Ranch. In September 1911 he married Pearl Hayward, a 20-year-old teacher. In the spring of 1917 Harry and Pearl and their daughter Doris and Pearl�s sister Cora and her husband, Frank Lockman, moved from Mountain Home to New Dayton, Alberta. A year later Pearl gave birth to Mary Belle but died of complications. Harry arranged for Frank and Cora Lockman to bring up the two girls.

Harry gradually developed a large farm. In December 1923 he married a teacher in New Dayton, Ruth Margaret Claxton, daughter of Rev. James Claxton and his wife. Harry and Ruth, like their neighbours, endured the hardships of the dustbowl and the depression. During the war they had help from two Dutch men and for a time after the war from a second cousin, Alvin Gorrill, of Lethbridge, and his wife Gloria. After an illness of two years, Ruth Claxton Gorrill died in February 1948.

Harry married Helen Blanche Campbell, a retired teacher of Prescott, Ontario, 1 July 1950. Both were active in the community. She died in February 1964 and he died two months later.

4. William Earl³ Gorrill (William Henry² William¹) was born about 1890 in Bottineau, North Dakota, to William Henry Gorrill and Olivia Dumville. He moved with his parents to Mountain Home, Idaho, and then to New Dayton, Alberta, in 1910 but he was educated in the United States. In Lethbridge, where he was playing baseball, he met his future wife, Hazel Younce, who had come there from her birthplace of Union, Ohio, to visit her sister. Earl and Hazel were married at Lethbridge in 1914. He farmed in New Dayton till about 1922, when he moved with his family to Cape Breton and ran a sawmill. After a few years they moved to Ohio. He died in October 1963. Three daughters.
5. Allison Ray³ Gorrill (William Henry² William¹), born in Bottineau, ND, in 1896, had early schooling in Mountain House, Idaho, and moved in 1910 to New Dayton, Alberta, where he attended high school. He studied for one year at the Olds School of Agriculture and was overseas in the first World War. After his father�s death in 1920 he took over the family farm. In 1924 he married Alice Blackmore, daughter of Alfred and Anne Blackmore of Hartland, New Brunswick, who had come west to teach in the Lethbridge area. He not only farmed but also operated a store in New Dayton. He played baseball and badminton and chaired the school board. He sold the farm in 1948. He died the following year 26 April 1949.

Descendants of John² Gorrill

John² Gorrill (William¹) was born in 1851 at Northam, Lot 13. At Mission House in Summerside 30 December 1875 he married Ann Josephine Hopgood. She was born about 1854 at Cascumpec, the fourth of nine children of William Hopgood, 1822 England-1905 Cascumpec, and Amelia Watson, 1827 New Brunswick-1912 Cascumpec. William Hopgood was a customs collector at Port Hill. Amelia�s parents were from Scotland. Josephine (Hopgood) Gorrill died 23 December 1940 at Wellington, Lot 16.

The 1881 census shows John Gorrill, 29, as a farmer of Lot 13 belonging to the Church of England; his wife Ann J., 26; three children, Laura Ella, 4, Priscilla, 3, and Annie, 3 months. The husband and father died at the age of 39 on 2 January 1891 and was buried in St. James Anglican Cemetery, Port Hill (13/3/51).

The family number 22 of the 1891 census in Lot 13 was that of Josephine Gorrill, widow, farmer, age 36, born in PEI. Her four daughters and two sons were:

Laurelea, 14 Priscilla, 12 Elizabeth [probably Elizabeth Ann], 10

I. Laura Ella³ Gorrill, born in 1876, married William Cecil Kinley, born 15 June 1870, son of Abram Edward Kinley and Charlotte Ann Bagnall. William ran the Massey-Harris agency in Cartwright, Manitoba, for a time and then farmed, finally settling a while in Killarney. They later went to Souris, North Dakota, where William operated a dray service, and then returned to Cartwright. William died 18 June 1925 and Laura died 8 November 1936.

William�s father was Abram Edward Kinley (born at Summerside 20 May 1845), whose parents, James Francis Kinley and Mary Davis Lidstone came from England to PEI in the early 1820�s and settled first at Bedeque and then at Cape Wolfe on the Northumberland Strait. William�s mother was Charlotte Ann Bagnall, born 5 February 1847, daughter of James Edward Bagnall, a merchant of Charlottetown, and Susan Catherine Hopgood, and grandaughter of Samuel Bagnall, Charlottetown merchant and member of the legislature, and Elizabeth Whitehouse (see "The Descendants of Samuel Bagnall" by Dave Hunter).

Abram and Charlotte and their five children headed west in 1880, first to Wisconsin, where a son was born, then to Wawanesa, Manitoba, for two years to be with his older brother Richard, then for ten years to Buttram, where three more children were born, and finally to Cartwright. By 1901 they were living in a log house on a quarter of land on the banks of the Badger River and five years later built a new home. Charlotte died 15 May 1922 and Abram died 1 January 1935 at the age of ninety.

Abram�s father, James Francis Kinley, was a wonder. Born in the Isle of Man 10 October 1804, he worked first as a weaver in a Manchester woolen mill, then got some education and taught school. In PEI he ran a 200-acre farm, a general store, a sawmill and a shipyard, and was agent and surveyor for the Island�s largest absentee landlord, Robert Bruce Stewart. He also filled such public offices as justice of the peace, postmaster, customs collector and commissioner of small debts. Active in the Bible Christian Church, he had two sons become ministers and another become a farmer and lay preacher and lost a fourth at sea on the way to studying for the ministry.
