Person:Michael Brick (1)

Michael arrived in N.Y. on the ship Marengo about 11 Aug 1833. He is listed with his family and his age is 13. The family may have stayed in Buffalo, Erie Co., NY for awhile. For sure the Brick family was in Wilmot Twp., Waterloo Co., Ontario, Canada by Jan 19,1843 because I found a land purchase for Lot 19N Concession 2 in Wilmot B. I found the marriage record, 2 Jan 1844, for Michael Brick and Mary Detzler. Their parents were listed so this proves that Michael was the son of Peter and Barbara Eckert Brick and Mary was the daughter of Jacob and Anna Riem Detzler. In 1861 Michael age 40 is still living in Wilmot, and I found a plat map that shows were he lived. His neighbors are the Fritz, and Detzler families. I found the Michael Brick Family in the 1871 Ontario Census in Bruce Co. Also living in this household was a Barbara, age 73, last name Brick. Michael listed his age as 50. This indicated that Barbara is probably his mother. Also listed in the same area were Peter Brick, Martin Brick, and Nickolas Brick. In 1891 Michael age 71 Mary age 67 and Catherine age 46 are still living in Bruce Co. Also living with them is a Jacob Detzler age 67 that must be a cousin to Mary. Michael is probably buried at the Immaculate Conception cemetery in Formosa but there is not a stone for either him nor his wife Anna Marie.
