61. William YELLAND
My branch of the Yelland family appears to have originated in South Tawton; John, born in South Tawton in 1734 (his ancesters were also born there), moved to Hallwill by Holworthy, where all his children were born; Richard, born in Hallwill in 1764, married in Bratton Clovely and then moved to Thrushelton, where all his children were born; William, born in Thrushelton in 1797, died in Bratton Clovely but is buried in Thrushelton (four miles away); all William's children were born in Thrushelton; William, born in 1832, moved to Canada 1 Jun 1851.
William, son of Richard Yelland and Mary, his wife, was christened, 21 May 1797 by John T. Spry, Vicar, in the Parish of Trushelton.
He was married 17 Nov 1829 by Banns with consent of parents, by H.G. Salter, Curate, Parish of Thrushelton. Witnesses were Roger Northcott and John Northcott (Thomasin's brothers).
His will was written very shortly before he died at age 65. It was written on April 4, 1862 and he was buried on April 8, 1862. He lived at Glebe House in the village of Bratton Clovely, Devon at the time of his death. The total worth of his effects at the time of his death was less than 100 Pounds (house and premises containing two dwellings). In his will he left his house and premises to his two daughters, Mary and Grace. The rest of his possessions he left to his wife, Thomasin and his son, Benjamin. He did not leave anything to his son, William, possibly because he had given William an amount of money to emigrate to Canada in 1851. SOURCE: William's Will

They first settled in what is now Smith Township on Lot 16 Conc. 6, which is located just East of the present town of Bridgenorth. At one point in time, some evidence shows they lived in or near Bowmanville. The last we see of him is in the Census of 1851-52 at which time they had only one child at home, Mary, and were living on Lot 16 Con 6. At the time of Baptism of his children (in England), Benjamin was shown as a labourer.

James Northey was the second and youngest son born to John Northey Jr and Grace Pengelly. He was born in 1795, and baptised July 3, 1796 in the parish of Germansweek Devonshire England. He was a brother of William Pengelly Northey, and was born in the time of Banned Marriages. Church law would not permit his parents to marry, since his father's first wife was his mother's sister, even though she, Elizabeth Pengelly Northey, had died April 25, 1791. His parents went to Plymouth to be married January 4, 1796.
James grew up in the village of Hennard Mill and worked on his father's tenent farm with his brother and several half brothers. He became a farm labourer.
From his grandfather's 1803 will, he was given one guinea. In his father's will of 1816, he was to receive half of the residue of lands, tenements, personal estate, chattlel, ready money, bonds, due debts, or anything whatsoever after the death of his mother Grace. His parents died July 2, 1816 and December 13, 1816.
It is not known when he left the Hennard Mill area, but he married Grace Yelland March 23, 1824 in the parish of Thrushelton which borders the southern side of the parish of Germansweek. The parish of Thrushelton recorded the baptismal record of 10 children born to James and Grace Northey. Four of these children died as infants. The batismal record for son George has not been located.
In 1843, James Northey, his wife Grace, and seven children came to Canada and settled in Smith Township, lots 17 and 18, concession 7, about 2 miles east of the property where his brother William Pengelly Northey settled.
In 1851 census recorded a farm of 100 acres on E1/2 Lot 18 on the 7tyh Concession of Smith Township of which 50 acres was cultivated, and 50 acres was in wood. Crops harvested included wheat. peas. oats, potatoes, and hay. Other products listed wool, maple syrup, fulled cloth and flannel cloth. Animals were 5 milch cows, 7 calves, 2 horses, 16 sheep, and 5 pigs. Also recorded were 450 pounds of butter, 40 pounds of cheese, 2 barrels of beef, and 3 barrials of pork.
By the 1861 census, his farm had increased to 200 acres. Crops harvested increased dramatically in volume, and now included carrots, turnips and mangels. Animals were of similar types but now included 1 oxen, 2 horses and 12 colts.
Not only had James Northey become a successful farmer, he also encouraged his sons to purchase land and farm as well. By 1851, son George had 100 acres of Smith Township land and son Thomas was successfully farming part of his father's land. However in the late 1850's, son Thomas and his family moved to Washburn Island, and eventually to Verulam Township in the Fenelon Falls area.
James Northey passed away in 1865, and his wife Grace died February 20, 1870. Both were buried on the Northey family farm. His son Solomon took over his father's farm after his death.
There are many Northey decendants from James and Grace living in the Peterborough area, Oshawa, Toronto, Fenelon Falls, Western Canada, and in the Unted States. Decendants can be found in names such as Brownscombe, Northcott, Tate, Trennum, Heard, Jackett, Sexsmith, Sucee, Bullock, Allen, etc.James was buried on the Northey Family Farm, Smith Twp., Peterborough, Ontario.
