Hi Joachim,

Many thanks for posting to the www.teskey.org guestbook.

Whilst I have done extensive research into the Teskeys worldwide, I have never been able to satisfy myself about the possible marriage between Ann Teskey, born 1809, and Robert Atkins. I had some lengthy correspondence some years ago with Paul Doherty, who was convinced of this marriage, and also with Angie Gibson, but I never saw any real evidence. Evidence is, of course, sparse from that long ago, and therefore assumptions are dangerous.

Thus, my tree, some of which was uploaded to the Teskey website about 15 years ago, has question marks against whatever may have become of Ann after her birth to a Michael and Ann Teskey in 1809 at Court Matrix, as recorded in the Rathkeale parish records.

I also have been unable to positively link Michael Teskey with any parents or to establish a date of birth for him. I have not established a birth for Michael Teskey. If he were born in 1772 (and I would be interested to learn how you concluded that) and if his father were Adam (lots of ifs), then his mother was probably Adam's second wife Mary. They married in January 1772 and she died in 1784. Adam's first wife, Catherine, died in 1771.

I am no longer active in family history research, but I still maintain a Teskey tree and would be pleased to hear whatever you may have discovered to link your line back to Ann Teskey.

I have added your email address to those who may receive an occasional Teskey-related message, but they are few and far between these days as my prime interest is no longer genealogy.

Best wishes in your research,

Ken McDonald

Ken,

Is there anyone you're aware of now active in TESKEY research that may be able to help me? To all inquiries I've made thus far....your work remains the definitive standard. I am still trying to legitimize earlier assertions that Anne Atkins was aka., Anne Teskey daughter of Michael Teskey and Ann (MNU).

For consideration is this record of birth/baptisms

Ann Teskey in Ireland Births and Baptisms 1620–1881

Again, Anne Atkins is shown on the Ontario Marriage records for some of their children with her maiden name as: Teskey. And on Census records her year of birth is consistently 1809.

Any direction here would be most appreciated....and I promise not to further bother you with this issue.

Respectfully,

Hi Joachim,

It's easy to be tempted back into a little genealogy!

I don't think I was previously aware of the information in your penultimate paragraph. In the absence of a direct marriage authentication (between Anne Teskey and Robert Atkins) you seem to have found the next best thing with a child's marriage record showing mother's maiden name as Teskey.

After a brief search on Ancestry, I found the marriage in St Vincent in 1884 of John Thomas Atkins and Rachel Campain where 30 year-old John's parents are given as Robert Atkins and Ann Teskey. That's pretty close to the 1851 census of St Vincent that shows John T Atkins aged 2 next birthday, together with lots of siblings born Canada West and parents born Ireland: Robert aged 55 and Anne aged 44 making her birth approx 1808.

Perhaps hoping for too much, but did you find any other mention of the Teskey name in children's records? I'm aware of the 1809 birth record of Ann Teskey to Michael and Ann, but I suspect there is no way of being certain of Michael's parentage. Michael and Ann had 6 other children, three of whose names are not rare but are the same as some of Robert and Anne's: Michael, William and Caroline. Some of Michael's family went to Ontario.

I am not aware of any current researcher for your branch (I don't know if Paul Doherty is still around), but I will send a copy of this exchange to a lady I corresponded with many years ago, just in case.

Best wishes,

Ken ________________________________________________________________________

Thanks Joachim

I agree with your findings of seven children born to Michael and Ann Teskey.

The recording of Ann Teskey as mother of John Thomas Atkins in his 1884 marriage record is very important and, as far as I know, the only piece of evidence to support the theory that it was Ann Teskey who married Robert Atkins. If there were another such reference to a mother Teskey, perhaps in another marriage record for one of the Atkins children, that would increase the probability greatly, so I think that is the key question, before getting too carried away with Ann's siblings. Walk before running!

Trying to get you to do all the work, have you accumulated marriage details for all John Thomas's siblings?

Best wishes,

Ken

Hi Ken,

In review of some preliminary files I saved per Atkins / Teskey Families in Ontario I came upon this.

Now mind you, I have viewed the 1851, 1861 and 1871 Censuses (published via LIBRARY and ARCHIVES CANADA) and did not/do not observe as does the OGSPI (Ontario Genealogical Society Provincial Index [Homepage]:https://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/welcome.htm ) a direct correlative between the Woman here so identified as the wife of Robert Atkins and (aka) Ann Teskey–respectively– however, perhaps worthy of consideration. I have not found the Index to be in error thus far with my other Ancestry references.

I am uncertain as to the precise level of data available/observable to OGSPI and any differences as would be observed by novice researchers such as myself using the LIBRARY and ARCHIVES CANADA Censuses Collections Database: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Pages/home.aspx (??)

In addition, there are TESKEY Family record listings you may find relevant and wish to pursue subsequent your inquiry of TESKEY connections potentially relevant given contextual merit

Let me know your thoughts,

With Regard,

Joachim

Hi Joachim,

What appears to be the most significant item here is the transcript from the 1851 census, with Robert Atkins, 55, and Anne Atkins, 44, as heads of the household with 9 children.

However, this record also shows "linked as maiden name Teskey Anne" but I have no idea where that has come from.

I looked at the original census form on Ancestry and it has no indication of Anne's maiden name.

The information must have been added at some time during the transcription, etc process or later but, sadly, there is no reference to the source. Without such a ref, I can't take it seriously.

So, I'm back to my original question - were there any other marriage records for the children of Robert and Anne that gave their mother's maiden name?

Also, I see from your original email of October 20: "As a male “middle” name I have seen ‘Teskey’ a couple different times. I believe I’ve seen it now twice among names of her grandsons."

I would be interested to learn more as that also seems good supporting evidence.

Best wishes,

Ken _____________________________________________________________

McALEER FAMILY http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/mcaleer/12/

• Mcaleer-Atkins family, Ontario
• By genealogy.com user February 26, 2000 at 08:19:15

To all McAleer families in Canada:

My name is James Johnson (AGS3581), and I am researching the greater family "Atkins", in relation to the greater family "Teskey", of which my mother was a "blood" member. In the 1871 census for Hibbert Tp, Perth Co, Ontario, I have found (2) entries for "Mcaleer": Ann McAleer, deceased 1870/71, age 80 yrs; & Michael Mcaleer, farmer, age 55 yrs; both being enumerated in Div 2 Of Hibbert Tp; both Irish; and Roman Catholic.

This would usually mean that they were members of the same family, and probably mother and son. Did Michael have a sister "Isabella" who married "Michael Atkins" of St.Vincent Tp, Grey Co, Ont on 26 Mar 1858? I believe that Michael Atkins' mother was"Ann Teskey", married to Robert and/or Joseph Atkins, 1820-37.

Any and all help in this most perplexing matter would be greatly appreciated. Information is available on other family members, and can be made available.

Greetings Irish Palatine Cousins:

I have been searching for information about a MICHAEL TESKEY (TUSKY) and I am sending the following in hopes that someone will be able to collaborate my information. I need your HELP!

I received the recent Teskey Newsletter and I was most interested in the article on page 10 about Michael Teskey 1811. I think I have his line figured out and how he is connected to my Teskey ancestors; namely ANNE TESKEY who married ROBERT ATKINS. I "suspect" she was the sister of Michael Teskey -1811 and the daughter of Michael Teskey abt. 1772 and his wife Anne.

Briefly, Michael 1771-2 died in Ireland just prior to the emigration of his wife Anne "Widow Tusky", and their children to the LaColle area of Quebec. They probably emigrated in June of 1824 -- and the reason that they went to Quebec and not with the other members of the group of Palatine settlers who settled in the West Gwillimbury Twp. area of Ontario, is at that time there was large group of Irish Palatines settlers in the LaColle area as well as members of the Atkins family. In this immigration was Sparlings, Teskeys, Atkins, Heavenors, and others. (Atkins family from Adare but not of Palatine origin.)

In the 1825 census for LaColle and living with the Robert Atkins' family a WIDOW TUSKY. I have also heard from other family members that Adam Teskey was married three times.

To his first marriage with Catherine Piper there were born four children:

• Elizabeth
• Ann
• James "Jacob" and
• John (John finally settled in Appleton in Ontario). To his second marriage with Mary Legier there were three children:
• Michael 1772
• William 1774 and
• Mary 1777 The big clue came from a letter I received from a family descendant who stated that "Michael 1772 died in Ireland and William remained in the Montreal area." William (1774-1841) is buried in the Napierville Cemetery, Quebec and Mary married a Richard White and they also emigrated to Canada being listed on the 1831 census for LaColle.

The Michael and Anne referred to in the letter of Nicholas Shier ( "People Make Places ... page 77" ) has to be Michael 1772. All my facts and dates fall in line. I have joined the Palatine Association and I am sorry that I have not been more active in submitting information about the families. As a United Methodist minister I find it hard to get the time to do the research that I would like to follow. I do have some records that help validate the above and would be most willing to submit a family tree (now that I am ready) for the Teskey Web Site if you are interested.

Of interest, Ken mentioned the rare occurrence of the name Michael in the Teskey line. Please note: Mary Legier's father's first name was Michael, and she named her first son, Michael, who named his first son Michael and his daughter Anne Teskey Atkins named her son, Michael. Also, in reference to names I think, have no solid facts, that Anne (wife of Michael Teskey -1772 "Widow Tusky" was a Heavenor and that William 1816, son of Michael and Anne, that his middle name was Heavenor-- not Keavenor ---being named after his maternal grandparents. I would also like to have the address and/or email address of Lorna Selby -- there has to be a connection.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Sincerely R. Paul Doherty

PLEASE NOTE: As follows is the letter of Nicholas Shier mentioned several times by Paul Doherty:

Biography http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Shier-243

Nicholas of Court Mattress was the third son of Nicholas of the third generation of the family. He was born about 1771 on the old homestead at Court Mattress where he was raised and where in turn, he raised his family. His first wife was Catherine Cronsberry, his second, Ann Fitch. They are remembered by persons with whom the writer has conversed, as speaking German equally as well as English. Nicholas Shier was born in 1771. He was the son of Nicholas Shier and Mary Unknown. Nicholas Shier married Catherine Cronsberry. Nicholas Shier married Ann Fitch after 1805. Nicholas Shier died in Court Mattress, Limerick, Ireland.

Letter

Dear Samuel, (his son)I rec'd yours of the 30th of July and yours of the first of Sept. and am very glad to hear that you and Ric'd and Catherine and children is in good health as I am and all the family, thank God.What I say to you I say the same to Rich'd. You wrote for Adam, John and Henry by the first opportunity, but I am not sure you can know the state of the country in the short time as you are there. But on the receipt of this letter you will know more of it, as Adam would go to you next spring or remain for one year more by your account. I would not hinder any of the boys or the family of going to you if it were in my judgment for the better. There is Mich'l Teskey and Sam'l Doupe and more of the neighbours in waiting with eager expectation on answer to this letter. The price of wheat here is from 8 cents to 10 cents per stone, barley 7.5 cents, the best oats 6 cents and all kinds of provisions very low, so that if Adam should go to you this year I could not without hurting myself sent you that help I could wish, as he should carry with him what would purchase land and support him there one year at least. Your uneasiness about Anne is all over. She is in good health and is married to Jacob Teskey the 6th of July. Your uncle John is dead as you heard when you were here, the reason of his death one cannot tell. James Shier is still in Cork but expected home soon. William Fazzelle got married to John Benners daughter but lived only six weeks after. He died by fever. Adam Shier of Ransker is dead also. He lived in Limerick and died by the fever. Adam Shier of Robertstown is contracted to Francis Teskey. Rich'd girl is willing to go to Rich'd if she can get her passage for there is little hope of her getting her three guineas. Last summer was very scarce in provisions in Ireland Limerick. The poor got very great relief from abroad in those counties. The disturbances of this country is not yet over after all that was hung and transported. The insurrection Act is still in force and the army is very exact in their duty. Sam, as short the time that you left us there is some gone to their eternal home. How frail and uncertain is our lives whether we live here or in America we are on the way to death. Let me know, is there any religion in America as I hope you have not forgot the loving kindness of the Lord? I desire you to write as soon as you recieve this letter as I cannot settle my mind until I receive your letter. Your mother joins me in love to you and Rich'd, and Catherine, Jacob Teskey and Anne send their love to you.

Nich's and Anne Shier (Cronesbury)

WILMA EBEL 9/05/99

In research my records for the Atkins family in Grey Co., Ont.; I found a William; born in Quebec abt. 1836 and moved to St. Vincent Twp. Grey Co., the son of Robert and Anne Teskey Atkins. He had 4 brothers: Michael, John, James, and Joseph; and six sisters: Mary Jane, Catherine, Sarah Ann, Matilda, Eliza, and Catherine.

Is this your William (William Henry)? If so he is the brother of my great grandmother, Matilda Atkins.

Hello Wilma Ebel, and Hello Paul Doherty:

My name is James Johnson,

I have been researching the greater family Teskey for several years.

Firstly to Wilma (per 5 Sep 1999): The William Atkins mentioned by Paul is the fourth child "William E. Atkins (22 yrs) b.1829 to Robert and Anne Atkins of West Gwillimbury Tp, Simcoe Co, Ont, as listed in the 185l Census of that Tp, per Canada NAC MIcrofilm C11761, Page 65, line 12.

The oldest child born to Robert and Ann is: "James Atkins (25 yrs) b. 1826; per line 21, listed as being born in Canada West (Ont)".

The two listings for William E. Atkins on the Raven History, as supplied by Shunk (?) appear to be at odds. In any event, having researched three different families of Teskeys, Atkins, and Longs, all involved in the settling of the townships of Gwillimbury West, Simcoe Co, and St. Vincent Township of Grey Co, Ont., no William Henry Atkins has surfaced.

I have back-tracked the Atkins family from St. Vincent (1871 and 1861 Census), through Gwillimbury West (1851), through Gwillimbury West (1837 Griffiths Census, Home District/Toronto and area) to Lacolle Tp, Lacadie Co, Lower Canada, Quebec, (C721) ending up with Robert Atkins, farmer, with wife and 6 girl children --- he had paid for his passage to the new world. He had as neighbours: William Tusky and wife; and E(?) Sparling and wife with seven children(1831 Census NAC C721). (1851 Census NAC C1176l) (186l Census NAC C1028); and (1871 Census NAC C9955).

Part 2 to my posting of 27 Nov 1703 hrs:

Hello Paul (per 23 Jan 1999):

Sorry for the lengthy delay in responding to yr posting. Long medical problems have hindered my research, but I am now back in the saddle.

As you may have gathered from part 1, some time and effort was required to un-ravel the intricacies of the 3 families Teskey, Atkins and Long. I feel that I now have something concrete to offer in respect of Anne Teskey, her husband Robert Atkins, and some of her in-laws, the Longs.

I cannot remember if I have sent you any material via the post, but not having your surface mail address, I fear that I have not. Please send your address, for I have much paper to send, encompassing data from 1769 to 1901. If you have any discrete info of Anne Teskey (and/or family) coming to Quebec, Canada it would certainly help in linking the Teskeys and Atkins with Ireland and their parentage.

The only info I have is from IGI, listing "Michael" as her father, and her birth year "1801" with probable marriage in "1817. Henry Z. Jones makes no specific note of her. Your "Acadian" connection sounds promising. I would like to pursue that.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

My mother was Margaret Jane Teskey 1891, an in-line descendant of Jacob Teskey c.1659.

Best regards,

James Johnson (AGS3581). _______________________________________________
