Eveline Matilda Gray was born on August 1, 1873 in Tilbury East, Chatham-Kent, Ontario, Canada English [Ontario, Canada Births, 1832-1916] and died on May 23, 1949 in North Allis Township, Ocqueoc, Presque Isle County, Michigan [Michigan, U.S., Death Records, 1867-1952].

Eveline was the daughter of Andrew Grey (1843-1931) and Rebecca Malott (c1845- ).

Notice on the birth record I'm attaching that her first name is spelled on the record as Evelyn vs Eveline but it appears she went with the spelling of Eveline so that's what I'm going with. The record also gave her middle name of Matilda and confirmed info shared with me that she was born in Tilbury East vs Camden.

Per the 1900 census, Eveline's family arrived in the United States in 1883. However, the 1920 census indicates they arrived in 1872 but the 1930 census indicates 1875. So what year is correct, we'll probably never know.

Eveline married Peter Alexander Jarvis on 23 March 1891 in Michigan. They had 12 children that I know of:

Josephine Lucy, Ellen 'Ella', Peter A., Clara M., Ruth A., Andrew Earl, Sadie B., Chester C., Joseph Elmer, Roy, Hazel and Elias.

In 1900, Peter and Eveline were living in Case Township, Presque Isle County, Michigan (per census). They lived in Ocqueoc, Presque Isle County, Michigan when the 1910, 1920, 1930 and 1940 censuses were taken.

*This is my cousin's line and I am going by what she told me as well as information I found on Ancestry.com

NOTE: Another FAG member contacted me June 21, 2013 with the following. Based on the email I linked Eveline and confirmed with Eveline's granddaughter (my cousin) that she was Andrew's daughter:

"Hi there
I've been doing some research on the Gray line. Evaline is the daughter of Andrew Gray and Rebecca Malott. I have Andrew's memorial but at the present have not been able to discover when Rebecca died or where she was buried.

You can link Evaline to her father's memorial: 112681353"

UPDATE May 3, 2022:

Another member contacted me and indicated Eveline's birthplace as Tilbury East, Chatham-Kent Municipality, Ontario, Canada which is similar to what I have except I have Camden not Tilbury East.

Initially, I wasn't going to change her place of birth however I realized I have her Canadian birth record on my family tree on Ancestry and Eveline's birth is recorded for the division of Tilbury East so the member was correct (thank you for that). The birth record also indicated her middle name of Matilda but spelled her first name as Evelyn vs Eveline but she appears to have gone by Eveline.
