Notes
a. Note:   Sorry Barb sent the original to the wrong address. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Armstrong To: [email protected] ; [email protected] ; [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 2:35 AM Subject: DRAPERS Northfield and Aylwin To Barb Taylor; Susan McCartney and Al Draper; Barb: I tried to send you an E-Mail based on one of your earlier postings on the Ancestry.com Quebec message boards. Anyway I will also send this message direct to your new E-Mail address. I have information regarding many of the Northfield Drapers, and many who are still in the Gatineau District around Low Quebec. I am a descendant from John Draper (b. 1801) and Margaret McKune (b. 1808 d. 4 Jul 1903 daughter of John and Sabina McKune of Huntley Township but originally from County Down Ireland 1825). I spell it as "McKune" because that is the way it was listed in Margaret's OBIT, a copy of which I have, given to me by Abby Draper. John and Margaret Draper (Margaret was John's second wife, married in Sep 1836, John Draper was believed to arrive in Canada in 1829 with his son Thomas who was 9 days old, therefore he would have had his first wife with him, first wife unknown) had a total of 12 Children, of which 4 were Margaret's step-children (James, Charles believed left behind in England, Thomas and John), remaining were her natural children: Gracie Anne (married Michael Quinn), Margaret Jane (married James Wiggins), Mary (b.1840 married Charles Evans), Rebecca, Sally (married William McConnell), Sabina (b.1838 d.30 Jan 1907 married John Cram), Elizabeth (Elizabeth b.1836 d. 9 Nov 1897 was my great-grandmother as she married Richard Armstrong from Aylwin) Ann (b.1842 d. 14 Mar 1908 married Edward Langford) and Isabella (b. 1849 married Robert Craig). As you can see the John and Thomas Draper mentioned are the sons of John Draper and the Step-sons of Margaret McKune (or McEwen). The four stepsons were born between early 1820s to 1831, Thomas in 1829 and John in 1831. Thomas married Maria Warren and John married Mary Stanley. I know from talking with Abby Draper that Thomas had at least three sons, William (married to Mary Chamberlain), Henry and Jess Draper, as William was Abby's Father. I cannot find a William Draper as being a son to John and Margaret Draper, however that doesn't say they didn't have a son named William. John Draper (the junior) was born 22 May 1831 in Aylwin/Northfield Quebec, and died 29 Mar 1923, married Mary Stanley b. 14 Sep 1832 d. 23 Dec 1911. John and Mary had the following children: Ellen Jane, James, Sarah, Elizabeth Catherine, William James , Samuel John, Alfred Albert, Susan Dinah, Mary Emily, Margaret Henrietta, Marston Percival and Salome Letitia. Susan McCartney: You indicated that your William Draper was born Dec 1846 and died 4 Aug 1904, which if this William was the son of the above John Draper b. 1831 (the junior) only approx 15 when this William was born, and John's wife Mary Stanley b. 1832 only approx 14, I would guess that stranger things have happened. Thomas Draper also had a son named William, but he wasn't born until the late 1840s or early 1850s. Al Draper: Your Thomas Draper (1829-1900) married Maria Warren (1831-1893) and I only know of three sons borne to them: Henry Draper, William Draper and Jess Draper all born in the late 1840s to the early 1850s. Henry Draper had one son that i know of, Allan Draper and Allan married Ella Wilson and they had the following children: Fred Draper, Hector Draper, Wilson Draper, Clifford Draper, Hestor Draper, Anita Draper and Hazel Draper. William Draper had the following children: Ebenzer (Abby) Draper, Lillian (1899-1932) married a Bowman) and Martha (1903-1918). Jess Draper had one son that I know of (there were more children), Lester Draper and Lester had a son named Eric Draper. I am still digging for information concerning the Draper family, and little by little it keeps coming in. I will keep you appraised of any new information I am able to research on my own and obtain from other sources. Ken Armstrong
