Esther Cannon

Family
RelationshipMother of Walter Hinds
ChartsDescendants of John Hinds, including our Walters and Ralphs
Father*_____ Cannon
Marriage*between January 1760 and February 1760Esther Cannon married Ralph Hinds Esquire of Old Castle, County Meath, Ireland, son of Walter Hinds and Martha Faris, between January 1760 and February 1760. The couple had at least ten children, whose order of birth has not yet been learned.1,2 
Residence*Following her marriage, Esther lived primarily with her husband and family at Mulhussey Castle, County Meath, Ireland.3
(Heir) Will15 April 1794Esther's husband, Ralph Hinds of Kimmins Mill, County Meath, left a will dated 15 April 1794 and proved on 10 May 1794. His estate was quite large. He named eighteen beneficiaries, including Walter Hinds, Ralph Hinds, Walter Hinds, Anne Hinds, Richard Stephens, Esther (Cannon) Hinds, Matthew Hinds, Thomas Hinds, Alexander Hinds, Mary (Hinds) Walsh, Michael Walsh, Clarissa (Hinds) Stephens, Martha (Hinds) Matthews, Eleanor (Hinds) Smith, Hester (Hinds) Dunn, Hester Stephens, Clarissa Stephens and Mary Anne Stephens. It appears from reading the will that he put much of his estate into a trust or series of trusts, with Thomas Berry and Alexander Berry as trustees, for the purpose of perpetuating the Hinds legacy for eternity. The order of succession was designed to be (1) Walter Hinds, eldest son; (2) Ralph Hinds, fourth son; (3) Walter Hinds, nephew and son-in-law, husband of daughter Anne Hinds; and (4) Richard Stephens, his grandson. While we don’t yet know what eventually became of all the lands mentioned in Ralph’s will, or exactly when and under what circumstances they left the family, we do know that Ralph's eldest son Walter, who inherited (in trust) Corrakane, Kilmainham, Clonmult and Corrard with their sub-denominations, died in 1804 and that he left a son Walter, born about 1798, who also lived at Corrakane until at least 1821, and possibly for the remainder of his life. He had eight children, six of them sons, and most of his children emigrated to England and the United States in the late 1860s. Their father Walter, who remained in County Cavan, died at Ballinagh, near Corrakane, in 1879. It is also known that Ralph’s fourth son, Ralph, ultimately received at least the towns and lands of Mulhussey, Kimmins Mill and Mulalvey in the County of Meath, had no male issue, and so impoverished himself that he lost all his property except an annuity secured on the lands of Mulhussey.

To his wife Esther Hinds, during the term of her natural life, Ralph directed that his trustees pay £40 a year, over and above all taxes, from the lands and premises held in trust and instructed that this payment be their first priority, and made quarterly on every first day of May, August, November and February in every year. This payment was to be made in lieu of all "Dower or Thirds" which she may have had a claim to at Common law or out of his lands, tenements or Premises which could be seized for any estate or inheritance taxes. And he further directed that his wife, within the space of six calendar months after his death, execute such a release of all dower and Title of Dower and Thirds at Common law which she could or might be entitled to and to any lands and premises of the estate that could or might be seized in order to protect them for the line of succession described earlier in the will. Ralph's will provided that should Esther refuse to execute such a release within the term described, then any gift or bequest to and for her own use and benefit was to cease and become void. Further, the will gave Walter, "or such person as be seized," of said Premises the power by Mortgage or otherwise to encumber the lands of Corrakane, Kilmainham, Clonmult and Corrard as a provision for younger children which he or they may have with sum or sums of money not exceeding one thousand pounds.

Again, regarding the £40 a year payable to his wife, Esther, from the lands of Corrakane, Kilmainham, Clonmult and Corrard, Ralph's will stated that in case the amount should not be paid upon the days respectively before mentioned or within twenty-one days after each of said days of payment shall be passed, that then and in such case Esther Hinds and her assigns would have liberty to enter upon any part of those lands and distrain (seize for payment of the debt) the same lands for her Jointure (the arrangement by which a man sets aside property for the support of his wife after his death; the property so designated) as the same shall become due and the distress and distresses and then there found to dispose of according to law in full satisfaction of the said jointure and all arrears thereof and all costs attending the recovery thereof.

He also bequeathed to his wife Esther the sum of three hundred and nine pounds with all interest due thereon by her brother Mathew Cannon by Bills of Exchange of his Endorsement bearing date on or about the _(blank)_day of _(blank)_. His will also directed his Executors to recover the debt by suit or otherwise as soon after his death as convenient and to pay the full amount all interest to his wife Esther Hinds.

Also to Esther, he gave the use of all his household furniture, Carriage and two Horses during her natural life or so long as she should continue to live with her children.

After the death of Esther, the carriage, horses and household furniture were instructed to go to his son Ralph.1

Edward L. Carleton1

b. 18 January 1880, d. 25 January 1925
Family
Birth*18 January 1880Edward L. Carleton was born on 18 January 1880 in New York.2 
Name VariationHis full name was Edward Lansing Carleton.2 
Marriage*18 June 1909He married, as her first husband, Edith W. Bretsch, daughter of August G. Bretsch and Elvina F. Hempel, on 18 June 1909 in Cass County, North Dakota.2,3,1 
(Son-in-Law) DeathJune 1913His wife's father, August G. Bretsch, and her brother, Emil, both drowned in the Yellowstone River near Wibaux, Wibaux County, Montana, in June 1913. His father-in-law was 52 years of age and his brother-in-law was age 17. Emil's body was found on a gravel bar at Sidney in Richland County and was identified by his clothes. His father-in-law's body was never found.4,5 
(Son-in-Law) Accident20 June 1913A newspaper article in the Dawson County Review, Glendive, Montana, published on 20 June 1913 under the title, "Wibaux Men Reported Drowned at Intake", stated that a report had come from the nearby community of Intake that Emil and his father, August G. Bretsch, cement contractors of Wibaux, in Wibaux County, entered a small skiff near that place the previous Sunday with the intention of crossing the Yellowstone River. Five days later, the newspaper was reporting that nothing has been seen of them since and it was feared they had become victims of the swirling currents of the treacherous stream, which was then at quite a high stage. Bretsch and his son were quite well known in Glendive.

A week later, on 27 June 1913, the same newspaper, under the heading, "Intake News", reported that the boat in which Mr. Bretsch and his son tried to cross the river about ten days before, was said to have been found at Burns, in the county of Richland. The story noted that the previous year, that same boat, owned by G. R. Cummins, was locked up on the opposite side of the river, and that a man broke the lock and in is attempt to cross the river to Intake was carried over the dam and drowned. The Bretsch homestead was about ten miles from Intake, and the son, Eric, who was but eighteen years old, didn't want to cross the river in a boat and begged his father to go around to Wibaux via Glendive on the train, and from there walk across the country about twenty-five miles to their homestead. His father thought that seventy-five miles around was too much traveling to get to their home, which was but ten miles from Intake, and decided to make the attempt, which ended in the loss of both their lives. Mrs. Bretsch was reported to be frantic over the misfortune that had befallen her, and the newspaper expressed its hope the county would put in a bridge at that point where it was so much needed.6,7 
Occupation*He was an engineer with the Great Northern Railway.2 
Census US 1920*16 January 1920Edith and Edward L. Carleton were enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 16 January 1920 in New Rockford, Eddy County, North Dakota. Edward was 39 years of age and his occupation was traveling as an engineer on a railroad, and Edith was 28 years of age. They rented their home and were both able to read, write and to speak English. Edward's parents had both been born in Ireland and their mother tongue was English, and Edith's parents had both been born in Germany and their mother tongue was German. Four children were enumerated in the Carleton household in 1920. Viola and Esther were ages 9 and 7 years, respectively, were able to read, write and to speak English, and had both attended school within the census year; daughter Gertrude was age 5; and baby son Arthur was one year old.8 
Death*25 January 1925He died on 25 January 1925 in Page, Cass County, North Dakota, at age 45, leaving his wife and four young children between the ages of 6 and 14 years.2 
Burial*He was buried in Riverside Cemetery, Breckenridge, Wilkin County, Minnesota.2

(Granddaughter) DeathJune 1913Her maternal grandfather, August G. Bretsch, and her uncle, Emil G. Bretsch, both drowned in the Yellowstone River near Wibaux, Wibaux County, Montana, in June 1913. Her grandfather was 52 years of age and her mother's brother was age 17. Emil's body was found on a gravel bar at Sidney in Richland County and was identified by his clothes. Her grandfather's body was never found.4,5 
(Granddaughter) Accident20 June 1913A newspaper article in the Dawson County Review, Glendive, Montana, published on 20 June 1913 under the title, "Wibaux Men Reported Drowned at Intake", stated that a report had come from the nearby community of Intake that Emil and his father, August G. Bretsch, cement contractors of Wibaux, in Wibaux County, entered a small skiff near that place the previous Sunday with the intention of crossing the Yellowstone River. Five days later, the newspaper was reporting that nothing has been seen of them since and it was feared they had become victims of the swirling currents of the treacherous stream, which was then at quite a high stage. Bretsch and his son were quite well known in Glendive.

A week later, on 27 June 1913, the same newspaper, under the heading, "Intake News", reported that the boat in which Mr. Bretsch and his son tried to cross the river about ten days before, was said to have been found at Burns, in the county of Richland. The story noted that the previous year, that same boat, owned by G. R. Cummins, was locked up on the opposite side of the river, and that a man broke the lock and in is attempt to cross the river to Intake was carried over the dam and drowned. The Bretsch homestead was about ten miles from Intake, and the son, Eric, who was but eighteen years old, didn't want to cross the river in a boat and begged his father to go around to Wibaux via Glendive on the train, and from there walk across the country about twenty-five miles to their homestead. His father thought that seventy-five miles around was too much traveling to get to their home, which was but ten miles from Intake, and decided to make the attempt, which ended in the loss of both their lives. Mrs. Bretsch was reported to be frantic over the misfortune that had befallen her, and the newspaper expressed its hope the county would put in a bridge at that point where it was so much needed.6,7
