DOXIE, beloved husband of Mary J. DOXIE. In his 72nd year. The funeral will take place from his late residence, Maitland Terrace, Strathroy, on Monday, June10th. Service at 2:30 o'clock. Internment in Strathroy Cemetery. He m Mary Jane COOK who d 25 Aug 1951. (No birth date) Known children; Hugh Ivan Beverly Frank Harold Olive Bessie

I have this Cicero Doxsie in my book: pgs 11, 12

Adam J. Doxsie, son of John and Arseneth (Love) Doxsie, b. c1823, md. Nancy Stack. I found this family in the 1861 & 1871 census of North Norwich, Oxford Co., Ont. It said that all were born in upper Canada, and that Adams occupation was 'shoe maker', md, Baptist, and of German origin. [I don't believe the German origin part]

1861 / 1871 census:

Adam Doxie 1861 age 38 1871 age 48 Nancy 1861 age 34 1871 age 44 Melissa D. 1861 age 6 1871 age 16 Cicero (twin) 1861 age 4 1871 age 14 Cynthia (twin) 1861 age 4 1871 age 14 John 1861 age 1 1871 age 10 Arthur 1871 age 3

It seems that we have ancestors in common. My ancestor Mary Doxie b. 1 Dec 1783, dau. of Samuel Doxie and ---Johnson., m. John G. Losee 24 Jan 1802. The marriage date is from the DAR Bible records. The Losee's are from Duchess Co. as well.

According to our family lore they travelled from Duchess Co. to Pennsylvania, where they spent some time and crossed over frozen Lake Erie to LongPoint, Norfolk Co., Ontario as they had relatives there.

The following is from a book my aunt has put together as a result of her own research.

At the Simcoe Ontario Archives, (Norfolk Couty) "An Assessment for the Township of Charlotteville for the year commencing the first Tuesday in March 1811 and ending the first Monday in March 1812 inclusive" Parts of this were missing but John G. Losee was listed. No land or house, but he had 1 horse, 3 cows, 2 cattle. John Doxie (his brother-in-law) had 80 uncleared acres, 6 cultivated acres, 1 round log house, 2 horses, 2 cows.

Prince Edward County Ontario Canada line
This is from an Ontario history book. I forgot the name of it.

The Doxsees enjoyed a local renown that was twofold. In the first place, the daughters of the pioneer . Archelaus Doxsee were the mothers and grandmothers of some of the most handsome women in Prince Edward a county which is said to be inhabited by the men with the good looking sisters ; and in the second place, it was the pioneer Doxsee who was said to have build the first wagon in the county. As he was skilled in the trade of a wheel wright he was well fitted for the task. The wagon was a curious structure and crudely primitive.With the exeption of the tires , there was no iron employed in its construction: the body, shafts and nuts were made of wood. But it was a welcome means of transportation in open wheather. In the winter its, need was not felt , as jumpers or sleighs proved better substitutes. These sleighs placed on hardwood rummers curved upwards in front , were drawn by yokes of oxen. Heavily laden they slid over the roots, stumps and bolders with the utmost unconcern. A breakdown was only an incident of the trip; it made no serious hindrance to the progress of the journey; for the early pioneers like the motorist always carried his kit of tools. If his sleigh could not be mended, the materials to make a new one were always at hand.

Archelaus Doxsee came from Long Island where his parents who were English, had their home on the Sound near Brooklyn. The English living so much among the New Hollanders and intermarring with them, both languages were in common use; and the Doxsees were almost as conversant with the Dutch tongue as they were with their own. Archelaus in 1781 married Martha Rayner of Long Island, and brought his family with him when he came to Canada about 1800. He journeyed north by way of the Mohawk River Valley, striking the St. Lawrence River a little above Clayton. He did not stop any time at Adolphustowm but crossed over the Bay at once and located at Green Point on the farm ajoining Cole's Wharf. Green or Grassy Point was settled earlier than the land that lay to its west and extended immediately towards Northport and among its early settlers were the Doxsee, Row, Shortt, and Carman families.

Sylvanus Doxsee, a son of the Pioneer, married Elizabeth Shortt, daughter of Adam Shortt a Prussian soldier , whose original name was Adam Kurtz. An apprenticed weaver in his own country, disliking both his master and his trade, Kurtz ran away to Hanover where he found agents recruiting soldiers to fight for King George III , in his war with the American Colonies. He enlisted and so found his way to the Western World. Peace having been declared he was given the option of returning to Europe or of taking up land in Canada. He chose the latter and located on the High Shore, where he acquired three hundred acres. With the very natural inclination to appear more British he had his name translated into Shortt.

The Doxsee are numerous and as a rule quite prominent in the Bay Of Quinte district. John L. Doxsee, son of Adam K., and grandson of Archelaus Doxsee is at the present postmaster at Gilbert's Mills, and has served in the Sophiasburgh council since 1879. He has been a member of the County Counsil and Reeve of the Township. His father was born in 1811 and took up land nearly seventy five years ago. The Church in their neighborhood is commonly known as Doxsee Chruch.

A prominent member of this ancient family is Professor Egerton R. Doxsee son of Rev. Archelaus and Alma VanDusen Doxsee. He was born March 7th, 1869 , and married Alfretta Augusta Chisholm. They had three young children: James Egerton Roswell, Ronald Roderick Chisholm and Francis Archelaus Chisholm.
He attended the public schools, the High School at Port Hope, and completed his education at Victoria University, receiving the degrees of B.A. and B.D. Having determined to devote himself to the ministry he was duly ordained in 1895 ; but his attainments and capacity for adimistration led to his appointment as Professor of Classics and at present is Registrar of Albert College and also Dean of Resident. He is a member of the Methodist chruch and Superintendent of the Sunday School. His political affiliations are with the Liberal party.
