Rice Honeywell UEL
Rice Honeywell was an American who married Ruth Allen, the daughter of a Loyalist. His son, Ira Honeywell built a log cabin on the Grand (Ottawa) River in 1809. He was the first settler
on the south side of the river. His property was located at the end of Woodroffe Avenue at today's Western Parkway. Rice and Honeywell Avenues are named after his family.
(Source: Bruce Elliott, The City Beyond).²
     Rice Honeywell; patriot, speculator
Rice Honeywell, was born March 1760 at Fredericksburg (now Carmel), Westchester County, New York, according to his deposition for pension. He was a younger son of David (ca 1730-1772?) and Rebecca (Rice?) Honeywell of the same place. He was descended from Roger Hunnewell 's third son Israel Honeywell.
REVOLUTIONARY WAR EXPLOITS
In 1773, the probable date of his father's death, Rice went to live with his oldest brother Isaiah at Lanesborough, Massachusetts. From there, when two months short of his sixteenth birthday, he enlisted in January 1776, along with Isaiah, in Colonel Seth Warner's Regiment. They immediately marched to Montreal and on to Quebec to join General Benedict Arnold's troops. His five months of service were up just after the Americans fell back on Montreal, and he was returned to Lanesborough. Another enlistment of six months followed in General Poor's Brigade. He was at Long Island, New York when it was overrun by the British, being in a "guard" that was led to safety through the British lines under cover of fog by General Israel Putnam. In 1777 he was called out on a tour of militia duty on the approach of General Burgoyne from the north, was wounded in the left arm in a skirmish at Wood Creek near Fort Ann, but he continued to fight with his arm in a sling. Although not fully recovered, he turned out soon thereafter to fight under Colonel Warner at Bennington, New York, but suffered from his neglected wound.
Beginning in May 1778 he had a number of periods of service in which he went as a substitute for others. One such period was for nine months with General Wayne's Brigade at Valley Forge. Both Isaiah and Sergeant Rice Honeywell were numbered among the Green Mountain Boys.
In March 1778 he moved from Lanesborough to "Old Hoosac on the Hoosac River" in New York State, "where he resided until March 1785 when he removed to Augusta in the County of Grenvelle, Upper Canada."
One account has it that after the war Rice came back into Canada to see it and fell in love with Ruth Allen, the daughter of a Tory, Weston Allen, U.E., who had brought his family to the Prescott area. The date of the marriage is not known, nor the place, although it is probably Prescott, Ontario. In any case, Rice took his bride Ruth back to his home in New York (probably Hoosac). When they returned to Canada in 1785 because Ruth wished to be near her own family, it was with two children, a daughter and son, Ira. Source: Pension application. LIFE IN CANADA
There is evidence that he took an interest in the community and people around. He was on the list of subscribers in 1790 for the Blue Church, Prescott, which was to be erected in 1791. His name has appeared as a witness at such functions as weddings. A number of letters are extant, to John Small at the Executive Council Office at York, which he wrote on behalf of other settlers.
The census of 1806 for Augusta showed Rice in a household of three, including one son Richard; by that time Ira was the head of his own family. It is likely that Ruth died about 1800, because his second son Richard was born in 1802 to Rice and Catherine (Fishback) Honeywell. In the 1823 census Rice's family consisted of himself, his wife, two sons, one daughter, four male servants and one female servant.
His will of 1839, probated 19 August 1840, probably named only his surviving children: Ira, Richard, John, Mariah Obrien and Israel Putnam Honeywell (likely named after the hero of his youthly escape from Long Island). Israel, a minor at the time, was no doubt the son of his third wife and widow, Martha Honeywell.
Richard went back to New York State, to St. Lawrence County, and left many descendants there. John and Mariah are as yet untraced. It is very possible that the Israel Putnam (or Putman) Honeywell of South Crosby, in 1854 and the one being married in Camden in 1858, later settling at a blacksmith shop in the 5th Concession of Thurlow Township, Hastings County, Ontario are one and the same. The corner is still known as Honeywell's Corners. Source: Miss Doris Honeywell notes.
LAND GRANTS AND MILLS
In 1785, 1791, and 1793, Rice and Ruth received land grants in Maitland and Augusta Township. In 1795 they were allowed Town lot No. 19 at Johnstown on the north side of First Street and a park lot on condition that they build a frame house, which they did.
Under an Order in Council of the 3 July 1797 he was granted a special lot, No. 14, Concession 1 in Haldimand Township, North Cumberland County, as the site of a sawmill. In April of that year his brother Isaiah had moved his family from the U. S. to Concession 3, Haldimand. Leaving his own family of four (his wife, one boy and two girls) settled in Augusta, Rice built the mill within the required year. He obtained its patent in April 1801 and sold the mill and the land in August 1802 for ‘325 pounds current money’ to the Honourable Richard Cartwright of Kingston.
By various early patents Rice had land in Younge, Leeds County; Augusta, Edwardsburg, and Wolford Townships in Grenville; and Matilda and Mountain in Dundas County. These lots he held for varying lengths of time and disposed of them in different ways. Rice improved his situation with each transaction.
Perhaps as the result of a petition by eight settlers in the Wolford/Montague area that Rice be granted a site for a grist mill, he petitioned in February 1799 for the grant of Lot 2, Front of Wolford Township as a mill site for what is now Merrickville. Not being successful, he petitioned for a lease of it in June 1801, but by that time four other claimants were waiting in line for it. Although no other petition was so early as Rice's first one, Lee(?) Merrick won out, or that place might now be called Honeywell. Within living memory a road leading from that lot across the country of "The Great Swamp" to Carleton Place was known as Honeywell's Road. Source: Miss Doris Honeywell notes, Ottawa, 10 August 1978.
TREASONABLE TALK?
It must have galled certain Loyalists to see American Rice Honeywell in their midst, enjoying the fruits of Crown grants in Upper Canada. In his biography, Justus Sherwood, a Justice of the Peace in Prescott, apprehended and admitted to bail Rice Honeywell and Thirby Cromwell for "treasonable talk." Rice was alleged to have said "G_ D_ King George, I have served the Congress." Rice denied the charge, which could have led to serious consequences, if convicted. Rice was not a Loyalist, had served as a Congressional soldier, and had received 100 acres of free land through Sherwood himself against the protest of others. Cromwell was a young man of indifferent character, who had taken the oath of allegiance, but had not received any land. Charges were dropped after community residents testified on Rice's behalf.

     Charlotte Mayhew died on 5 December 1873 at Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada.^2,3,5 The cause of her death was given as complications of teething according to her death registration.⁵ The informant on her death registration was her father, Joseph Mayhew.⁵
     Charlotte Mayhew was buried at Thompsonville (aka Thompson Hill and Renfrew Public Cemetery), Renfrew, Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada^G.^2,6

     He was born on 9 June 1875 at Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada.^1,2,4

     Charles Mayhew was buried at Thompsonville (aka Thompson Hill and Renfrew Public Cemetery), Renfrew, Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada^G.^1,6

     He was born circa May 1833 at Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Upper Canada, British North America.⁶ Alternatively, he may have been born circa 1835 since he was age 26 in 1861 census.^7,3 Charles married Christiana Condie on 23 December 1856 at Beachburg, Westmeath Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada, according to the Christian Guardian on 31 Dec 1856:
     On 23rd inst. at the residence of the bride's father, Charles Mayhew and Christiana Condie, both of Beachburg, Westmeath. (Rev. R. M. Hammond.)^8,9,10,11
     Charles Mayhew appeared on the 1851 Canadian Census of Horton Twp., Renfrew County, Canada West in the household of his parents, Joseph and Charlotte Mayhew, listed as "works on farm."¹²
     Charls and Christy Mauhow appeared on the 1861 United Province of Canada Census of Westmeath Twp., Renfrew County, Canada West, enumerated 14 January 1861. Charls was described as described as a blacksmith. Their children, Iseble and Charlott, were listed as living with them. In addition, Hannah Mauhue, probably his sister, was included in the hoousehold.¹³ Charles Mayhew is referenced in my analysis of Peter Mayhew in 2000; According to the book "The Story of Renfrew,
     " between 1840 and 1848, Charles, Joseph and Edward Mayhew were living between Thomson's Hill and the village of Renfrew, on the south side of the Creek. Peter Mayhew and Nulbeir Jourdain lived on the west side of the village. It is feasible that all four were brothers although I have not identified where Edward fits in, and since Peter married Sophie Jourdain it is again feasible that this is the same Peter Mayhew.
     Assume Peter Mayo born about 1823, spouse of Sophia Jourdain is the same person as Peter Mayhew, born about 1823, who was a widower at the time of the 1881 census. Baptist Jordon was enumerated with his family. Both had a daughter Elizabeth born about 1873. Other children's names also contribute to this assumption.¹⁴
