WILLSON name_game@ca.on.ogs.families 2000-02 published
SISLER : (response)
The Quaker connection to the surname
SISLER in Ontario
seems to begin in 1817, when one George
SISLER applies for membership in
the Yonge Street Monthly Meeting, and is accepted into membership.
Shortly afterwards, on 18th of second month 1818, George
SISLER was married
in a Quaker ceremony to Margaret
WILLSON,
and the record shows that he was the
son of George
SISLER and Margaret,
who is deceased. At the time of the Separation of 1828, George
SISLER,
his wife Margaret and 4 children are identified with the Hicksite faction
of the Pickering branch of the Yonge Street Meeting.
They were later disowned for non-attendance of meetings.
A. gravestone for Margaret
SISLEY (1786-1887) stands in the Presb
Cemetery at Richmond Hill (the surname seems to alternate
between SISLER and
SISLEY). There is no proof of a connection between
this George
SISLER and the James
SISLERs Senior and Junior mentioned in the
query, but the rare surname and the Quaker connection in both cases
makes a relationship most likely.
Perhaps James
SISLER Senior and George
SISLER Junior were brothers,
both children of George and Margaret
SISLER.

SPAUN/SPOHN :
SPRINGSTEEN/
STEAD/
STEED :(response)
There is a marriage record for this family that give Adelia
SPOHN's
maiden name as
WITHERAL, not
SPRINGSTEEN :
Elgin Co Mar Register, vol 2 page 41 :
Charles SPOHN, 23 of Saint Thomas, born Canada,
son of Peter L.
SPOHN and Delia
WITHERAL
married on 24 Jan 1866 to Selina
COLE age 23 of Saint Thomas, born England,
dtr of Samuel
COLE and Mary
ROCKEY.
They were married by Reverend George
CUTHBERTSON of Saint Thomas, Presb,
with Robert
CARRIE of Saint Thomas as witness.
The same mar reg shows the 1865 marriage of Wesley
SPOHN of Ancaster
(son of Philip) to Eliza
GRIFFIN of Sparta, so there was certainly some
movement of the
SPOHN family back and forth between the Ancaster and
Saint Thomas areas.
