This matters a great deal because Oxley was buried on Lot 19 and the location of Lot 19 held the key to finding the Ripley Lots 16 and 17. I now believe that the River Philip United Church is at Lot 14 and the Ripley lots are located between the church and the intersection of Windham Hill and Wyvern Roads, the approximate location of Oxley's original burial. Please see the updates I've made to the Yorkshire Grant and Lots 16 and 17 pages on this website.
I was beyond excited yesterday to finally make contact with newly-found 4th and 5th cousins who are very knowledgable about Ripley history and have been very helpful in clearing up the mystery of George Oxley's grave. Apparently it is true that George Oxley was originally buried elsewhere and then his grave was moved to the River Philip United Church.

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
