  Research Notes:

Several variations of her surname appear in records, including Mary Wardle or Mary Werely (Wereley), although some variant of Werely is most common. John Poaps stated 3 Aug 2002 that the name was Wardle "in the family bible of the Poapst family in Cornwall, Ontario." It is "Whereley" in a handwritten transcription by Vella (Velma) McEwan from the "Gideon Adams" Bible. It is spelled both "Whereley" and "Wereley" in another Poapst family Bible. All are in different hands.

Was Daniel Papst her second husband perhaps?

From http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ont-stormont-dundas-glengarry/2004-02/1076776417:

"...Alonzo Wereley's grandfather, Peter Wereley, together with a brother George Wereley and two sisters, Mary Wereley, who afterwards became Mrs. Frederick Poapst, and Margaret Wereley, who married a Mr. Coons, all came from New York State as [United Empire] Loyalists. Peter was born in 1789 and at the age of 17 he and his brother and sisters were among the first settlers on Crown Lands in Osnabruck's 4th concession. He died in 1871 at the age of 82 years and Alonzo Wereley is carrying on the family tradition as to age very well.

"'I often heard my grandfather tell of the depredations of wolves in those early days,' said Mr. Wereley. 'Wolves were very plentiful and one day one of his cows came home with her face all scratched and bleeding after fighting to keep the wolves away from her calf.'

"Peter and George Wereley settled on adjoining farms, each having 100 acres and Peter often carried feed in a sack on his back across the length of one farm to the other."
