 INTRODUCTION

John and Catherine (Allison) Ansley's descendants in the male line have been
researched and much has been published about them. In 1933, Harold Ansley Davidson
compiled the book Our Ansley Family. A great deal of this work about their descendants,
especially those of Ozias Ansley, 1743-1828, was based on letters that were in the
possession of his descendants. These letters descended to me and contain material that is
not available elsewhere.

The sons of John and Catherine did not remain in the area ofthe Mohawk Valley
of New York. Ozias, Daniel, Amos and Samuel were all Loyalists and after the
Revolution, were living in Canada. Ozias retumed to the United States about 1805, but
his three brothers remained in Canada. The other two sons, John and Thomas, were,
according to family tradition. Loyalists, but they both went to Allegheny County, PA,
where they married and died.

The four daughters of John and Catherine married Montgomery County, NY

Patriots and remained in that area for the balance of their lives. In several branches ofthe
families of these daughters, there has been a question about the maiden name of these
four women. To my knowledge, there is not any primary evidence in the public sector
that proves that they were the daughters of John and Catherine (Allison) Ansley. The
Ansley family letters contain the evidence that proves that the maiden name of Mary
Smith, wife of John Smith, Elizabeth Empie, wife of Philip Empie, Margaret Spraker,
wife of John Spraker and Rebecca Marsh, wife of John Marsh was Ansley.

The desire to find more information about these four women led me to do the
research on their descendants. Others have done research on both the Empie and Spraker
families, and I decided to stick with a matrilineal search ofthe female descendants. Many
ofthe descendants left Montgomery County and became part ofthe westward migration
and settlement of this country. I also found a Patriot, John C. Smith, who went to Cayuga
County, NY and settled on his bounty lands and on whom no one has joined the DAR..

Loyalist and Patriot, Catherine (Allison) Ansley's descendants are an integral part
ofthe growth and development ofthe United States. They all stood for what they
believed in. Even though they fought on different sides during the Revolution, the letters
reveal that family ties remained intact and they respected each other and their individual
opinions.

Compiled by Charlotte Megill Hix

1 CATHARINE' ALLISON was bom about 1720, probably in England. It is stated that she married
about 1741 John/Gilbert Ansley. It is not known when or where John Ansley died, but old family letters
relate that Catherme died in Canada in 1816'. Catherine had a brother Robert Allison who was bom in 1735
and died in 18222. There is a story on file at Fonda, New York titled "The Romance of Margaret Ansley"3.
Very little of this article is based on fact, but it does state that Margaret Ansley was from Colchester, Essex
County, England, hi the IGI there is a listing for a Robert Allison bp. in 1701. Further research has not been
done on this possible connection.

John Smidt, married and Maria, at the baptism of Maria, daughter of Hoseas and Dorothea (-) Hansle
[Ozias a^d Dorothea (-) jAnsley]. They were living in Scipio, Cayuga County, New York when they wrote a
letter to Ozias Ansley dated 18 December 1810. They stated that they had had ten children, six sons and
four daughters, and that they 'now had four sons living and one daughter living they are all married except
one and we live with one of our sons Jacob at present'. The next letter from John and Mary Smith is dated 1
October 1819 and repeats that they had had ten children and had buried five of them. Their youngest
daughter had died and left five children, all of them boys. They were then living with their son-in-law
Abram Flinn. Her one daughter had seven children and one of them was dead and one was married. The
son Jacob with whom they had previously lived with had gone to Ohio with his wife and ten children.
Another son lived at the Genesee country near the Caledonia Springs and he had eleven children. Another
son lived at Cayuga and had eight children. The last letter from Mary Smith was written from Springport,
New York on 24 April 1827. John Smith was not mentioned and was probably deceased. j \ n indenture was
