Descendants of Samuel & Phoebe McAdam

Generation No. 1

1. SAMUEL¹ MCADAM I was born 1793 in Ireland, and died Unknown. He married PHOEBE WIFE OF SAMUEL MCADAM I. She died Unknown.

Notes for SAMUEL MCADAM I:

We have evidence that our McAdam family, Samuel and Phoebe and their children, were in Canada before the potato famine of the 1840’s. According to a notice in a Napanee newspaper dated June 18, 1831, "Letter waiting for Samuel McAdam at the Napanee Post Office." It is very likely that Samuel and Phoebe McAdam had just arrived in the area when a letter from friends or relatives back home in Ireland arrived. Irish immigrants often kept family and friends back home informed, especially as to opportunities for more immigrants.

But the first conclusive evidence of our family is the 1851 Canadian Census that showed Sam (age 58) and Phoebe (age 57) living in Tyendinaga Township, Hastings County, with their children John (age 30), Mary (age 28), and Samuel (age 25). All were born in Ireland. Thus, the family likely came to Canada between 1826, when Samuel was born, and 1831, when the letter was announced.

David McAdam and Robert McAdam may have been sons of Samuel and Phoebe too. There is evidence suggesting that David McAdam married Sarah Jane Cross in Tyendinaga Township and settled in Hastings County near Samuel and Phoebe. David and many of his children are buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Rawdon Township, Hastings County.

A Robert McAdam lived in Tyendinaga Township in 1851 near Samuel and Phoebe McAdam also. According to Anglican Church records, Robert McAdam married Charlotte Dunning of Tyendinaga on February 7, 1855. On February 6, 1956, Robert and Charlotte had a son, Samuel. No other information what happened to Robert McAdam is available.

Children of SAMUEL MCADAM and PHOEBE MCADAM are:

2. i. JOHN² MCADAM, b. 1821, Ireland; d. Unknown.

ii. MARY MCADAM, b. 1823, Ireland; d. Unknown.

Notes for MARY MCADAM:

IT IS UNLIKELY THAT MARY IS THE DAUGHTER OF SAMUEL & PHOEBE MCADAM.

The 1851 Census in which Samuel and Phoebe are listed with Mary (Age 28), John and Samuel does not confirm that Mary is their daughter. On page two, there is a column for Residents, Members and Non-Members. Mary McAdam is listed as a Non-Member which could mean she is not the daughter of Sam & Phoebe. Is Mary the wife of another McAdam, maybe another son of Sam & Phoebe's such as David or Robert? A cousin or the wife of a cousin perhaps? It could mean that Mary is a daughter who was visiting the day that the Census was taken. But it was very unusual then that unmarried women lived away from home. There are a number of possible explanations.

Records at the Episcopal Church in the Tyendinaga area show that a David & Mary McAdam had a daughter, Mary Ann, in Tyendinaga on April 9, 1856. Also, on September 27, 1850, James Scott & Mary McAdam were sponsors for the baptism of June Elizabeth McAdam, daughter of Mary & ______ McAdam. One of these Mary's could be the Mary in the 1851 Census of Samuel and Phoebe's home in Tyendinaga.

3. iii. DAVID MCADAM, b. 1825, Ireland; d. May 8, 1895.

4. iv. SAMUEL MCADAM II, b. 1826, Ireland; d. July 17, 1885, Tamworth, Ontario.

5. v. ROBERT MCADAM, b. 1828, Ireland; d. April 5, 1888, Stella, Cowlitz County, Washington.

Generation No. 2

2. JOHN² MCADAM (SAMUEL¹) was born 1821 in Ireland, and died Unknown. He married ANN PYER. She died Unknown.

Notes for JOHN MCADAM:

Family lore has it that one of the McAdam brothers moved west. This could be John. The following information strongly suggest that John married Ann Pyer, had a son, and moved west to Huron County as a pioneer.

1. According to Anglican Church records, Samuel Stuart McAdam, son of John and Ann McAdam, was born August 30, 1853 and baptized October 2, 1863 in Tyendinaga Township, Hastings County, Ontario.

2. According to the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid, there are five McAdams buried in Wroxeter Presbyterian Cemetery (abandoned), Howick Township, Huron County, Ontario. They are Ann McAdam, Ann (Pyer) McAdam (w/o John McAdam), Jane (i/d/o John & Ann McAdam) McAdam, John McAdam, and Samuel Stewart McAdam.

3. According to the 1871 Ontario Census, John McAdam lived in Huron North, Howick, Division 3. He was a 50 year old head of household, born in Ireland in 1820 or 1821, was a Presbyterian, occupied as laborer.

4. The 1851 Census shows that John McAdam, living with Samuel and Phoebe McAdam, was born about 1821.

Children of JOHN MCADAM and ANN PYER are:

i. JANE³ MCADAM, d. Unknown.

ii. SAMUEL STUART MCADAM, b. August 30, 1853, Tyendinaga Township, Hastings County, Ontario; d. Unknown.

Birth source:

It isvery possible that David is the son of Samuel & Phoebe McAdam. This relationship lacks confirmation however.

I was in Havelock yesterday and visitied Maple Grove Cemetery and came

across the grave of David McAdam, is read:

David McAdam (died 1895.05.08), aged 70 years. His beloved wife, Jane Cross

(died 1910.07.08), aged 82 years.

Thought this information would be helpful. I was searching for Parcels

4. SAMUEL² MCADAM II (SAMUEL¹) was born 1826 in Ireland, and died July 17, 1885 in Tamworth, Ontario. He married ELIZA JANE BROWN, daughter of THOMAS BROWN and ELIZABETH MCGOWAN. She was born 1830 in Ireland, and died 1908.

Notes for SAMUEL MCADAM II:

Samuel McAdam Jr. was born circa 1826 in Ireland, the son of Samuel and Phoebe McAdam. It has not yet been discovered how or when the family came to Canada. However, according to the Canadian Census of 1851, they lived on Lot 21, Concession 2 of Tyendenaga township, Hastings County, Ontario. At that time they were formers, and the south end of their land bordered on the Salmon River. The household at that time consisted of Samuel and Phoebe and their children John, Mary and Samuel Jr. Two other McAdam families lived nearby, and they may also have been children of Samuel and Phoebe.

Sometime within the next three years, Samuel Jr. married Eliza Jane Brown, second eldest daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Brown. Eliza Jane was born circa 1830 aboard a boat from Ireland en route to Canada on the Atlantic Ocean. The Browns, a family of twelve, were Anglican and lived in an Irish settlement in Sheffield township, Lennox and Addington County, Ontario, in 1851. Source: Research of Vivian Ambrose, August 1994

Robert McAdam born 1828 Ireland, died 5 Apr 1888 Stella, Cowlitz Co., Wa., buried Bunker Hill Cem, Stella. Charlotte (in a census listed also as Elizabeth) Downing born 21 Nov 1838 Canada, died 12 Aug 1940, Bunker Hill Cem,Stella

Charlotte's mother was Margrette Downing was listed in the 1900 census as living with daughter Charlotte, they were both widows at that time. States also that Margette was 71 yrs old. So that puts her 1829 as her birth and looking at the date of her daughters birth that does not figure into the picture. I have to look for her death date and then figure it all out. I do not have the husband/fathers name. Charlotte had a brother James that was also in Stella during this time. I have not research the Downings like I should. Hopefully I can get to it!!!

The Watertown, New York directories showed Solomon McAdam listed as follows:

Year Occupation Residence

1889&90 carpenter 6 Ontario Main Street

For 1891 a Samuel McAdam was listed in the Watertown directory for Ont. Mills, Main St. but it is believed this is a mistake and is Solomon.

1920 U.S. Census shows Solomon, 62, & Nancy, 53, on Main Streer in Glen Park, New York. He was listed as a superintendant in a paper mill. They immigrated in 1885.

Notes for MARY ELLEN KEECH:

According to Milton Bruce McAdam, Sr., in 1954, Mary Ellen (Keech) McAdam was living with her daughter Florence (McAdam) Kimmett in Sacketts Harbor, Jefferson County, NY (although she may have been staying with her other daughter, Angeline (McAdam) Froysell, a few miles away in Chaumont, New York). Apparently, Mary Ellen became very ill in the Summer or early Autumn from causes he can't recall. Because Mary Ellen was still a Canadian citizen and had family in the Kingston area, she was moved to a Kingston hospital where she qualified for insurance. Bruce and his Uncle, Bob Froysell, took Mary Ellen by car to the Kingston hospital in the Fall sometime. It was pleasant weather when they went. Mary Ellen died on December 6, 1954 and was brought back to the Sacketts Harbor Cemetery where her husband was buried.

Notes for JAMES WESLEY MCADAM:

Tribute to James Wesley McAdam

as told by his daughter, Anne (McAdam) Johnson

on March 1999, in Florida

James Wesley McAdam was born on May 23, 1894 near Norway Lake in Lennox and Addington County, Ontario, Canada. His father was a red-head named James Watson McAdam. His mother was Mary Ellen Keech, Watson's second wife. Grandpa Watson (as we called him) first married Rebecca Doolan. Watson and Rebecca had two children, Mary Agnes who married George Wager, and John Henry (also known as "Black Jack") who married Mary Agnes Flynn. "Uncle John" was very close to Wesley, his younger half brother. In Grandpa Watson's second marriage, he and Mary Ellen had four daughters named - Annie, Florence, Angeline, and Nora - and one son, James Wesley, my father.

What do I say about a man who has been dead for 49 years? He was a very gentle, loving, caring and kind man. He loved babies and he loved holding them. He did what he could for everyone. He loved all his children very much and was very proud of them.

Dad graduated from the Belleville School for the Deaf in Belleville, Ontario. He was an excellent athlete, excelling in all sports, especially hockey. He could have played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but his lack of hearing kept him out. This must have hurt him badly. At that time, and until a very few years ago, hearing handicapped people were kept out of sight as much as possible.

After school, Wesley worked at a post office in Kingston, Ontario. But the pay was so small he had nothing left after rent and food to enjoy himself. Then, in 1918 during the World War, he got a job in the Goodyear plant in Toronto. He liked working there but it was affecting his health. He decided to go to the West Coast on "The Harvest Train." This cost him $20 and he had to bring his own food.

Dad first went to Saskatchewan with some deaf friends, but could not find a job. In Manitoba, he finally got a job surveying for a lumber company, the Flin Flan Co. At that time people in droves were putting in mining claims for copper and other metals. Dad was asked to put in a claim but he refused because he would have had to stay on the claim for 16 months. The claim later became very lucrative.

In November 1922, Dad heard about this good-looking deaf girl in Battleford, Saskatchewan, so he went to visit her. Her father wanted Wesley to come and work for him. But Wesley wasn't quite ready yet. However, in April 1923, Wesley returned; and on June 11, 1923, he married that girl, our mother, Catherine Hammond. Catherine's father, Colin Arthur Hammond, fixed up an apartment in the granary for the newlyweds. Mother said they were snug and warm. They stayed in Battleford for two years. I was born in May 1924.

Wesley and his family moved back East in June 1925 and settle at the Sam and Eliza's McAdam house in Marlbank, Ontario. Watson and Mary Ellen went to Rainey River in Western Ontario, but returned when it was too hard to farm there. Wesley was a beekeeper for a short time. While in Marlbank, he worked in a barrel factory for $2.00 and hour. Ronald was born March 28, 1926.

In May 1926, Mother, Father and us two children went to Cape Vincent, New York, by boat. Dad rented a house in Glen Park, New York, with his parents, Watson and Mary Ellen. For a while he did odd jobs in the area. Eventually, they went to live with Uncle Percy Kimmett and Aunt Florence, Wesley's sister, on the Kimmett's farm in Sacketts Harbor, New York. They then found a small house up the road. Gloria was born there January 29, 1928. Philip McAdam was born there on September 8, 1930, a few days after Grandpa Watson died of a heart attack. At the time, Wesley was helping to build the big high school in Watertown, which is now the junior high school on Washington Street.

We then moved with Grandma Mary Ellen onto the farm where Dad worked. We lived there for two years. I started school in the Stone school which still stands. The economic depression was hurting everyone. Milton Lee then asked Wesley to move to Pillar Point. Milton Bruce McAdam was born there on October 30, 1932, named after Milton Lee. Other close friends, Henry and Mary Gilbert, moved in with us. Henry had lost his job. We then moved to the Hamberg Farm on Pillar Point where James Wesley Jr. was born on September 1, 1934.

In March 1935, we moved to Point Peninsula across Chaumont Bay from Pillar Point. We moved across the ice, took the cows and horses, the car and the furniture in wagons. Colin was born May 18, 1937. We stayed on Pt. Peninsula for five years. We all loved it. The one room schoolhouse was almost at our front door. On February 28, 1939, Ronald was killed. It was a sad time for everyone. Times were hard; the Depression was with everyone; milk was cheap and it was hard on the dairy farms.

We moved to the Brown house in Limerick, New York, in May 1940. Larry was born there on June 2, 1942. We then moved to Perch River in 1943, where the "Perch River Supper" picture was taken. In the meantime, Dad worked for Dexter Sulphite paper mill in Dexter. He loved it. It was steady work, which was important because he had a large family to raise. He was one of those people who wouldn't stay home. If the roads were snowed in, he would get up early and walk to work. He was always there and gave it all he had.

At the Dexter Sulphite, he made $25 per week. Imagine trying to raise a family on that today. We didn't go without essentials, however. Dad inherited a Model A Ford from his parents in 1933. He was always very proud of his car. In 1940, he bought a Dodge. Work at the paper mill was good during World War II. We always had a big beautiful garden. Mother did a lot of canning. Life was hard but we all go through it.

Dad contacted cancer in 1950 and was sick for a year. Bruce took care of him and tried to make his life as easy as possible. Dad died on September 13, 1951. At that time they didn't have chemotherapy or radiation treatment. The doctors gave him morphine shots to keep him comfortable. When he died, he left his wife Catherine and seven children - Anne, Gloria, Philip, Bruce, James Wesley Jr., Colin and Larry. We all miss him very much.

THE ONTARIO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF

In 1869, at the urging of John B. McGann, a pioneer educator of the hearing impaired, the Ontario government sanctioned the establishment of the first provincial school for deaf children. A residential institution combining elementary school instruction with vocational training, the Ontario Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb was officially opened in October 1870. Increasing enrolment during the following decades led to steady expansion and improvement of facilities. When curricula were revised and advanced academic instruction introduced during the tenure of Dr. Charles B. Coughlin (1906-28), the school gained wide recognition for its contributions to special education. Renamed the Ontario School for the Deaf in 1913, it became the Sir James Whitney School in 1974 in honour of Ontario’s sixth prime minister.

SAMUEL THOMAS GREENE

1843 - 1890

Samuel Greene was the first deaf teacher in the Ontario school system. An American by birth, he was educated at the National Deaf-Mute College, now Gallaudet University, in Washington, D. C. After graduating in 1870, he came to teach at the new provincial school for the deaf in Belleville (later Sir James Whitney School). Believing that the education of deaf children should be based on solid language skills, Greene devised a progressive and highly successful method of teaching that used sign language and written English. Co-founder and first president of the Ontario Association of the deaf, he was renowned for his eloquent public addresses and poetry recitations in sign language.

Notes for CATHERINE HAMMOND:

Catherine Hammond McAdam Roach died on March 24, 1994 in Oswego, New York at the age of 91. An only child, the McAdams were her only family. Her strength and character touched all of us. Her spirit lives in all of us. We will miss her dearly. The following is her story as told by her daughter, Anne McAdam, at a surprise birthday party for Catherine at the Kingston Reunion.

Catherine was born November 4, 1902 in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. Her parents are Colin and Anne Louise Hammond. She graduated from the Belleville School for the Deaf, where she was an excellent student and good athlete. About 1920, her father took her and her Mother to the great west of Canada against her Mother’s wishes. They finally settled in North Battleford, Saskatchewan to raise wheat and other crops.

In 1922, James Wesley McAdam, a handsome deaf young man, heard about this beautiful deaf girl in North Battleford, so he decided to look for himself. He must have liked what he found because a year later in June 1923, Wesley married Catherine. Wesley also went to work for Catherine's father on the farm.

Within a year on May 4, 1924, a black hair, brown eyed daughter was born named Anne. A bad drought and no money forced Wesley and Catherine back to Marlbank, Ontario where Wesley's parents, James Watson McAdam, lived. In the early spring of 1926, a blue eyed, redheaded boy was born and named Ronald Colin.

In 1927, seeking to make their own way in this world, Wesley and his family moved to Sacketts Harbor, New York, which is located in the United States on Lake Ontario. There on January 29, 1928, Gloria, an auburn hair, brown-eyed girl, was born. On September 8, 1930, Philip Watson with blond hair and blue eyes was born. One week earlier, however, Wesley's father, Watson who had also moved to New York, died. Wesley and Catherine took over Watson's farm.

The family then moved to Pillar Point, New York, also on Lake Ontario a few miles from Sacketts Harbor, and the children kept coming. Milton Bruce was born on October 31, 1932; James Wesley was born on September 1, 1934; and Colin Hammond on May 18, 1937. Last came Lawrence Arthur on June 2, 1942 after the family had moved to Perch River.

In 1937, tragedy struck the family when Ronald, then 11 years old, was killed by a car while riding a snow sled on Point Peninsula, New York, the family home at the time. Tragedy struck again when Catherine's husband, Wesley, died of cancer on September 13, 1951.

With all the children growing up quickly, Catherine married, in 1953, a kind truck mechanic named Harold Roach who was also deaf. They lived in Sandy Creek, New York, briefly before finally settling in Mexico, New York. He and Catherine traveled often. Harold died in November 1984.

In all, Catherine has 8 children, 16 grand children, and, so far, 20 great-grandchildren.
