Women's History Month: Setting My Ancestor in History - 5th Great Grandmother captured during War of 1812

Over on Olive Tree Genealogy blog there's a meme for Women's History Month  This is Number 5

We have all had many female ancestors who have lived through and perhaps witnessed incredible historical events. But like many stories most get lost to time. I remember my Step Grandmother telling me about the horrible things she witnessed during the Blitz in London during WW2. But today I am thinking about my GGGGG Grandmother Mary Jane Montgomery.

In 1812 Mary Jane and her husband were on a ship from Ireland bound for New York. They were going to start a new life in the United States but unfortunately the War of 1812 got in the way. The ship they were on was captured by the British Navy coast of Newfoundland and all on board were taken to Canada against their will. I can only imagine what that would have been like. I suspect it was not only a great disappointment but a little bit frightening.

So as prisoners of war they where taken to St. Johns, and detained four weeks. Upon their release they had to make their way to Quebec, British subjects not being allowed to travel to America during the the war they had to wait until 1816 to finally reach the USA.

MEMORIAMS

In Loving memory of Annie (Nan) Ramsay,who passed away on 26th of April 1993.

Remember her with a smile today
She was not one for tears,
Reflect instead on memories
Of all those happy years.
Recall to mind the way she spoke
And all the things she said,
Her strength, her smarts,
the way she was
Remember these instead.
The good advice she'd given us,
Whose blue eyes shone with laughter,
So much of her will never die,
But live on ever after.
Sadly missed, always loved, and never to be forgotten.
Please know that our love will never fade away.
To my mother, love your daughter, Ann
