The first I find Patrick McEnery in the Erin area is on the assesment roll for Erin Township in 1825.  All that is listed is that there is 1 male under 16, 2 females under 16, 2 males over 16 and 1 female over 16 for a total of 6 people living in the house.

On the 1827 assesment roll, he has 70 acres of land uncultivated, 30 cultivated on Lot E1, Con 9.  At this time there is 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, 1 female over 16 and 3 females under 16, total was 5.  He had 1 horse, 2 oxen over 1 year old and 2 milking cows.  

In 1829 there was 1 male over 16, 4 under 16, 1 female over 16 and 1 female under 16, total 7.  He was still living at the same address with the same amount of land cultivated.  

1830, the family had increased to 8, 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, 1 female over 16 and 5 females under 16, I believe the numbers were incorrect in the 1829 census.  He now has 34 acres of land cultiveated and 66 not at the same address.  The animals remained the same with the addition of 1 cattle beast under 2 years of age.   The value is listed as 70 pounds, 4 shilling.

On July 20, 1837, Patrick received the patent for Lot 1, East 1/2, Con. 9 of Erin Twp.  It was a 100 acre plot and listed in the Index to patents, Wellington Country, 1820-1877 Approx.  A991.145, Series 18. Item 1.

Census of the population of the Township of Erin for 1840 shows1 males under 16, 1 over 16, 5 females under 16 and 2 over for a total of 9.  No religion is listed. 

Copy of the Will of Patrick McEnery on file.

It is noted in The History of Wellington County by Jean F. Hutchinson some of the earliest stones show a burial of a McEnery child in 1832. Could this be a child of Patrick's?
