The ancestry of Ruth Ethelwyn (Short) Ellingwood (1893-1974), mother of Dick Ellingwood: four emigrant families who settled Upper Canada in the 1820s and 1830s. Alexander Pattullo, a native of Dundee, married Jean Watson at Inveresk in 1806 and in 1820 went out to a farm at Caledon, Peel County, where his wife and children followed him in 1823; he was killed there by a falling tree in 1828. His son Halkett married Jane Robson, of a Roxburghshire family, at Caledon in 1833, and in 1855 moved to Blenheim Township, Oxford County, where he died that June. Their son George was the father of Duff Pattullo, Premier of British Columbia; their youngest, Mary, married John Gerald Short at Woodstock in 1879.

John G. was the son of John Short of Rugley, Northumberland, first postmaster of Newcastle, Canada West, and of Mary Jeffrey, whose father William came from Foulden, Berwickshire, to Cobourg about 1820 and whose brother Andrew was mayor of Cobourg. A hardware merchant and then an organ manufacturer at Woodstock, John G. took the family to Chicago in 1896-97 and from there to Spokane, where Ruth married Cudge Ellingwood in 1921.

The line at a glance

Alexander Pattullo (c. 1774-1828), of Dundee and Caledon = Jean Watson > Halkett Pattullo (1809-1855) = Jane Robson (1809-1879), daughter of Thomas Robson and Jean Clark > Mary Pattullo (1852-1932) = John Gerald Short (1845-1916), son of John Short (1808-1858) and Mary Jeffrey (1809-1883), daughter of William Jeffrey and Mary Lyall > Ruth Ethelwyn Short (1893-1974) = Richard Everett "Cudge" Ellingwood Sr. > Richard Everett "Dick" Ellingwood Jr. (1929-2019).

The scope walks every ancestor of Ruth Short. Her husband's side is the Ellingwood line, which stops at her.

How sure it is

Ruth's birth registration (Woodstock, 1893) and her parents' marriage registration (Woodstock, 1879), with her father's death certificate (Spokane, 1916), prove the steps from Ruth to her four grandparents. Above them the links are probable: Halkett to Alexander Pattullo and Jean Watson by his indexed baptism, the stone he put up at Caledon and his brother James's marriage; Mary Jeffrey to William Jeffrey and Mary Lyall by Ward Skinner's compiled Descendants of William Jeffrey and Mary Lyall's monument at Peterborough; Jane Robson to Thomas Robson and Jean Clark by their stone in her own township and two trees that give her as their daughter. The research is followed in the thread on Ruth Short's ancestry (How far back can Ruth Short's Scottish and English ancestry be proven?).

  42. The ancestry of Ruth Ethelwyn (Short) Ellingwood (1893-1974), mother of Dick Ellingwood: four
  43. emigrant families who settled Upper Canada in the 1820s and 1830s. Alexander Pattullo, a native of
  44. Dundee, married Jean Watson at Inveresk in 1806 and in 1820 went out to a farm at Caledon, Peel
  45. County, where his wife and children followed him in 1823; he was killed there by a falling tree in
  46. 1828. His son Halkett married Jane Robson, of a Roxburghshire family, at Caledon in 1833, and in
  47. 1855 moved to Blenheim Township, Oxford County, where he died that June. Their son George was the
  48. father of Duff Pattullo, Premier of British Columbia; their youngest, Mary, married John Gerald
  49. Short at Woodstock in 1879.
  51. John G. was the son of John Short of Rugley, Northumberland, first postmaster of Newcastle, Canada
  52. West, and of Mary Jeffrey, whose father William came from Foulden, Berwickshire, to Cobourg about
  53. 1820 and whose brother Andrew was mayor of Cobourg. A hardware merchant and then an organ
  54. manufacturer at Woodstock, John G. took the family to Chicago in 1896-97 and from there to
  55. Spokane, where Ruth married Cudge Ellingwood in 1921.

  60. (1809-1855) = Jane Robson (1809-1879), daughter of Thomas Robson and Jean Clark > Mary Pattullo

  62. (1809-1883), daughter of William Jeffrey and Mary Lyall > Ruth Ethelwyn Short (1893-1974) =
  63. Richard Everett "Cudge" Ellingwood Sr. > Richard Everett "Dick" Ellingwood Jr. (1929-2019).
  65. The scope walks every ancestor of Ruth Short. Her husband's side is the Ellingwood line, which
  66. stops at her.
  68. ## How sure it is
  70. Ruth's birth registration (Woodstock, 1893) and her parents' marriage registration (Woodstock,
  71. 1879), with her father's death certificate (Spokane, 1916), prove the steps from Ruth to her four
  72. grandparents. Above them the links are probable: Halkett to Alexander Pattullo and Jean Watson by
  73. his indexed baptism, the stone he put up at Caledon and his brother James's marriage; Mary Jeffrey
  74. to William Jeffrey and Mary Lyall by Ward Skinner's compiled *Descendants of William Jeffrey* and
  75. Mary Lyall's monument at Peterborough; Jane Robson to Thomas Robson and Jean Clark by their stone in
  76. her own township and two trees that give her as their daughter. The research is followed in the
  77. thread on Ruth Short's ancestry (`threads/short-pattullo-ancestry.md`).
