The first information I have of the Haycock family is in Shropshire (Salop) England before the American revolution. All the early history I have comes from Kenneth Haycock's book "Family Connections in Oxford County" referring to Oxford County Ontario. The rest comes from him, the LDS and my research. A link to Kenn's Gedcom is here.
Ken's book starts with Ralph Haycock b. ~1732 in Shropshire, England. He came to the colonies, perhaps with brothers William and John, about 1750. He was a "Collector" for the port of Boston in 1763 and about 1767 he moved to Buck's Harbor, Maine. During the revolution, he was captured as master of a ship of Machias Maine, near the present border with Canada and later released. He served as a soldier from Jonesboro and Machaias Maine.
Ralph Haycock married first Martha Brunel 1755 in Glouster Mass. [I include this as, in my limited travels to the area, Glouster is one of the few places to see the Atlantic Ocean and to eat edible seafood]. They had several children including twins, Ralph and William, and then John, b. 31 March, 1777 in Eastport, Maine. We were in Eastport Maine in the mid-1990s; it is now a delightful, recovering, town which claims to be the easternmost in the U.S. We ate in a resturant which was once a grocery store which Eleanor Roosevelt patronized, coming just a few miles by launch, from Campobello Island.
John Haycock, b. 31 March, 1777, m. Frances Scott with whom he had five sons the first being Otis Haycock b. ~1803 in New Brunswick. John and his brother Ralph probably lived for a while after their father died at the Jos. Merit residence. He lived most of his adult life in St. Patrick's parish on the south east cost of New Brunswick, near the border. My understanding is that the border was ill defined and there was no particular worry about what country was which; a Life magazine article I read in the '40s corroborated this.
Otis Haycock b. ~1803 in New Brunswick, m. ~1821 Anna Eliza Phillips. Ken says that Otis lived at Meransey Brook, Gladstone Parish, in Sunbury Co. N.B. where he applied for 300 acres of land with Elliot Haycock. At the University of New Brunswick, I saw the application for this land but, at the time, was not aware that this was an ancestor. He later gave up this land and moved back to Eastport about 1827. Otis moved with his family to Buford Twp., Brant Co. Ontario with his family about 1837, durn, I don't know why or how. Otis had 10 children by his first wife and 3 by his second, the widow of Jesse Churchill.
Thomas Philip Haycock who was important to my family was Otis's first son with his first wife. Please use the link to see his story.
Charles William Haycock was Otis's fifth child. He was b. 18 Jan. 1831 in Eastport, Maine. On the death of his mother, Charles went to live with Dr. Cook in Norwich but, when he was 17, he was crippled in an accident. He soon went into teaching and later entered the Baptist Theological Institute of Woodstock, Ont. On 21 Jan 1861 he
