3952 Excerpt from "From This Year Hence - A History of the Township of Toronto Gore" - Pg 112 -
"In 1827, Mr Robert Shaw and his wife, Alice Lockhart, left Sligo, Ireland, and set out to find a home in the New World. They settled first in New York State, and lived there for three years. While here, in 1828, a son, James, was born. In 1830, the family decided to leave the United States and come to Canada. They arrived in Ontario [Upper Canada] and settled on Lot 14, Concession 8, Toronto Gore Township. Three other children were born in Canada: Samuel, Eliza and Margaret.

In 1852, [son] James Shaw married Jane Shaw ... Samuel married Ann Hunter, Eliza became the bride of William Taylor and Margaret married Thomas Beamish [she married James, the son of Thomas]."

3954 Excerpt from letter by George Brett to his brother John 23 Feb 1876
"... Very respectable people at his marrying. I have to let you [k]now that Charles of Achonry's first wife died, leaving two children, boy & a girl. He got married again to John Allen of Rathbarrons youngest daughter & got two hundred pounds with her. They live very stylish. He improved his house & place very much." 
BRETT, Charles (I12287)
 
3955 Excerpt from Obituary - Ken was a champion bridge player (Diamond Life Master) and a dedicated and innovative vegetable gardener. He edited and published Vegetable Garden Research, and wrote 'Sweet Potatoes' for the Home Garden. He also wrote two bridge mystery novels, Deadly Endplay and Shades of Grey; his advancing illness prevented completion of the planned trilogy. A Queen's graduate in Engineering, and holding a Master's Degree in English from Western, Ken was a true Renaissance man. His creativity and inventiveness were expressed through pottery, stained glass, art and literature. Ken was an independent thinker and the kindest of men, qualities that don't often go together. There will be no service, but a celebration of life will be held at a date to be announced later. In lieu of flowers, donations to Parkinson Canada would be appreciated by the family ALLAN, Kenneth William (I136)

3965 Family history passed down - In the year 1690, James McCrea and 6 sons went from Scotland to Ireland with the army of William the Conqueror to fight in the Battle of the Boyne. According to records, 5 of the sons returned to Scotland. The one who remained in Ireland is our ancestor. A descendant named Charles (perhaps grandson?) was born c1750. He married Peggy Johnston. Their son John was an ordained Presbyterian minister. John married a Welsh girl, Elizabeth Evans and they had 3 children - Matilda, John and Margaret. Their son John and his wife had Charles, John, and others. One of these [I believe to be Thomas]married and had 5 children - Mary, William (1843-1916), Richard, Katherine and Elizabeth.

William (1843-1916) - my great grandfather - came to Canada in 1867
