John Crooks
ID # 2990
| Marriage | John Crooks married Mary Lawrason, daughter of Lawrence Lawrason and Rachel Pettit, in 1824. All we have for the marriage of John and Mary is their marriage bond. This is found on microfilm C-6778, Date 1824-02-09, Vol. 16, Bond nbr. 996 The bond was endorsed by John Burwell and Matthew Crooks, both of the Township of Ancaster, on behalf of John Crooks of Niagara and Mary Lawrason of London. Since this is dated February 9, 1824, it is reasonable to believe that they were married the same year, probably not long thereafter. Considering the various residences of the parties named on this bond, we are left uncertain as to the place of marriage, but it probably was at the home, or home church, of the bride. |
