Lot 25, Concession 1, Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada [3] |
- Name as enumerated: James Mallet. Only the head of household is mentioned by name. 92 acres uncultivated (looks like) 28 cultivated (doesn't add up). Can't make out the rest. Property assessed at 60 lbs 8 s.

1839 |
Lot 25, Concession 1, Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada [4] |
- Name as enumerated: James Mallett. Only the head of household is mentioned by name. Not a part lot. This contradicts the 1837 assessment which says he only has the south 1/2, but substantiates the 1834 assessment which seems to indicate 200 acres. Uncultivated looks like 189 but might be 89 (unless he owns the north half too). Cultivated is 11. 2 oxen and 2 milch cows. 62 lbs 16 s assessment. Family is still 8 people.

Lot 28, Concession 3, Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada [5] |
- Name as enumerated: James Mallat. Only the head of household is mentioned by name. 3d concession lot 28, south part of lot. 100 acres, all uncultivated, assessed at 20 lbs. The family is still shown as only 8 people. 1 male and female over 16, 2 males under 16, 4 females under 16. So now they have moved to the place we thought they had originally, but William appears not yet to be born, even though his obituary says he was born in 1839. One wonders why after so many years clearing land bit by bit on the other place he chooses to start all over again. Did William Daniels give him a nice bit of cash for the land already cleared, enough incentive to start over? Perhaps James and William had an arrangement all along. We know that they knew each other since 1820 at least. Now too he has 2 teenage sons who can swing an axe and help out.
Their ages: James - 41, Elizabeth - 35, Frederick - 13, James - 11, Eliza - 10, Ann - 8, Henrietta - 6, Elizabeth - 4.
William Daniels is shown in the census on Con 1, Lot 25, 75 acres uncultivated, 25 cultivated. This property isn't conveyed to Mr Daniels until 1850. There is an as yet undiscovered connection between James and this William Daniels. James was a witness at William's wedding in Devon.

Lot 28, Concession 3, Wilmot Township, Waterloo County, Ontario, Canada |
- Only census information available, nothing about the property. This is the first census in which all names of individuals within the household were listed. Eliza was enumerated twice, once at home, and once as a servant in the 2 story brick house of Dugald McLachlan. The family lives in a 1 story frame house. All the children are listed as single. The first four are shown as born in England, all of the rest in Canada. None of the children are listed as attending school.
Their ages: James - 53, Elizabeth - 46, Frederick - 24, James - 22, Eliza - 21, Ann - 19, Henrietta - 17, Elizabeth - 15, William - 13, Henry - 10, Caroline - 5.

Oct 20, 1889
When Wm. C dies, the register says he was living in East Zorra Twp.
1891
Henrietta 56, Frederick 24, Eliza 22, William 20, May 18, Henry 16, Herbert 14.. Perhaps I read it wrong. How did Frederick get to be older than Eliza? Henrietta is now a widow. Otherwise all of the same kids except for Annie are at home as the last census. Ann Mallett isn't living here either.
1901
Henrietta 67, William 32, Mable 28. William is now head of household. According to a little book I glanced through while at the Anglican church archives, Margaret (d. 1900) and Annie (d. 1892) Smith both gave their lives while on (Anglican Church) missionary work in China. Margaret was burned to death during the boxer rebellion, Annie died of a fever in Shanghai. William has lot 33 con 3, 136 acres owned, 1 house, 3 barns.
There exists an 1878 letter to Myrtie Mallett from Henrietta A. Smith in New Hamburg who says she is the 2nd daughter of Wm and Henrietta Smith. She addresses Maggie as cousin and mentions Uncle William in Arthur, Aunt Am, and Aunt Eliza Paddock. Says Uncle Henry and Aunt Am live at the old homestead ----- that grandfather left Arthur for Puslinch and then he is coming here and from here he goes to Port Stanley to see Aunt Caroline she has one little girl named Edith ---- Uncle Fredic's only son settled in Plattsville (about 7 miles from here) ---- Aunt Elizabeth and family are well ---- We are a family of 5 boys and 5 girls, 3 girls and 2 boys going to school ---- I have 2 brothers able to work and baby Bertie nearly 2 years old ---- and then there are Maggie and I to attend to the housekeeping ---- Thanks to Wesley for his nice card George will answer his letter this week.
