Yes I think you are right. A search in vital records for Manitoba came up with him... died in Winnipeg.

Given Names: THOMAS   Sex: MALE
Date of Death: 06/08/1891

"Maybe" the C. in his name stands for his grandmother's maiden name (which was a strange name as written).  But that's just a guess

Reference in an estate file in New York for an Ann Furnival, widow of Daniel, who applied to administer his estate since he died without a will in Madrid, St. Lawrence County.

Thank you for all these details... they are supporting what few details I have on these lines. Much appreciated. This is the article I found in the newspaper re Thomas C. Nosworthy who died in Winnipeg:

Daily Intelligencer, Friday, August 7, 1891
"Wired from Winnipeg". T. C. NORSWORTHY a young man from Bowmanville, Ont., died yesterday at the General Hospital here from typhoid fever. The remains will be taken east for interment. "

Found the "Appleby" connection in the newspaper report at death of James Nosworthy (Sr.) in 1893:

"Mr. NOSWORTHY married, 53 years ago, Harriet FURNIVAL, daughter of the late Mrs. APPLEBY, who survives her husband." Daily Intelligencer, 5 June 1893

So she must have married again.

Old newspapers available from St. Lawrence County provide no further details about Daniel in 1833.  There is reference in a paper from 1888 about Mr. John Ross, Mr. James Nosworthy, and Mr. George Mitchell being the only survivors of the old Belleville rifles which did duty at Gananoque in 1838 -- fifty years ago.

Thanks. I think we've done a pretty good job with the details. I just wish I could decipher the headstone to my satisfaction. "Dover" could certainly be "Devon" ; Dover isn't a county. And North Tanton could be North Tawton. The transcription given to me by the archivist said it had been transcribed as "Tanton, Co. Dover" which is very close to "Tawton" and differs again from the findagrave transcription which assumes "Kent" from the name Dover.

 The date of birth on the stone is 27 April 1816 and the James Nosworthy I believe he actually is was baptised 3 June 1816 at North Tawton, son of James and Elizabeth, father a Sadler. If Thomas was his brother, he too was baptised there in 1820.

And, by the way, James C, son of Thomas, was married to Harriett NUNN, born England, on marriage register.
