    Notes:

    Misc:
    There was a Donald Robertson who died 11 Feb 1871 in Barney's River, NS (Pictou Co Death records and 1871 census) but this is not the correct Donald. This Donald is listed as a widower. From Marsha MacKay on 20 Mar 2003:

    #788 on your list, is not Hannah Oulton's husband Donald Robertson. We don't know
    what ever happened to him, other than rumour has it he left his family, and headed for the States, and died down there, Gawd knows when or where. The Donald Robertson mentioned in the death register, 1871 Census is a widower, and I have to admit, he's one of the Donald Robertson's I haven't figured out yet. There were "MANY" Donald Robertsons even in that small area of Pictou County. Hannah was still living in 1871.

    Donald married Hannah Oulton 4 Mar 1834, Barney's River, Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. Hannah (daughter of Charles Oulton and Elizabeth Lewis) was born 1812; died 1886; was buried 1886, Hattie Cemetery, Avondale, , Nova Scotia, Canada. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    FL- Information received from Donald Keith Feb 2, 1995.
    Jan 1999:dropped North London from the place of birth after temple ready suggested there was a problem. I then called information in Connecticut and the operator indicated that there was a Norwich in Connecticut but not a North London.I obtained from the operator a name of Henry Fillmore 1-860-564-2520 who lives in the area.
    Abigail died of the feavor probably typhoid one day before her husband Charles and after the death of Mr.and Mrs. Oulton (probably parents Of George Oulton) and Mrs. Turma. They were buried in Jolicure Cemetary. Source: letter written by Joshua Tingley on the William Oulton file at Christina Lake.
    May 1999:Note from Shirley Dobson of Moncton; the name Norwich was changed to North Franklin --because Norwich had English connections. Further note: Shirley file notes also indicate that she has two Windsor chairs that came from the home of Charles and Abigail's home and we re made in North Franklin. AS of 1999 Shirley says that they are in excellent shape.
    August 1999:Shirley's letter she stated that "all the Oultons in New Brunswick descended from original settlers-Charles and Abigail." So me people including Stephen O. Oulton of Jolicure believe that all Oultons in Canada desecended from them.
