Notes: Elizabeth Hamm was born 14 Nov 1806 in Cornwall, England. Her parents were
probably Thomas Hamm and Joanne. She married William Haley on 23 Aug 1828 in
Lanreath, Cornwall, England. They had nine children. In 1851 the family
immigrated to Canada, settling first in Bowmanville, Darlington Twp., Durham County,
Ontario. In the 1861 Canada census, Elizabeth and William were living in a 1 story log house on Lot 29 of the EMR (East Mitchell Road) Concession, Fullarton Twp., Perth, Ontario. The three children living at home were Isaac, 20, a laborer, Abraham, 17, and Richard, 11. Their religion was marked Bible Christian. William was a farmer, and the 1861 Agricultural census reported that he had 97 acres, which included 55 acres under cultivation. In the 1871 Canada census, Elizabeth and William were living alone in Nissouri West, Middlesex East, Ontario. William was listed as a retired farmer, their religion as Church of England. They moved to Kansas about 1872. A short biography of their son Abraham Haley, of Kansas, describes the family as follows: "John, a resident of Bennington, ---, Wm. who died in Canada, Maria Frise, a resident of Michigan, James who died at Delphos, Kans., Isaac who passed away in Logan township in 1899, and was a very prominent man in his locality, Abraham, the subject of this review, Richard, who was formerly a resident of Indian territory and his death occurred in Kansas City, Mo. in July, 1901, Nicholas, who was drowned at the age of 18 years, and Elizabeth who died when young when 8 years of age." In the 1875 Kansas State census, Elizabeth and William were living in Logan Twp., Ottawa, Kansas. Their Post Office was Pipe Creek. They are enumerated adjacent to the households of their three sons, Isaac, Abraham, and Richard. William died 1 Oct 1877. According to her headstone, Elizabeth died 20 Oct 1877. An unknown source states Elizabeth may have died earlier, in 1875 of typhoid. Both are buried in the Highland Cemetery, Minneapolis, Kansas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
