Notes:

Looking for Ephraim WILLSON born 1793, his wife, a daughter Amy WILLSON born 1818, and a son Ephraim Jr. born 1819. The children where all born in Yorkshire. They arrived in Canada around 1829 and settled in Waterloo Twsp. Ont. The family farm came to be called Hemlock Grove Farms. It was located in the German Tract settlement.

Ephraim Sr. married 3 times. His first wife, unknown name, died about 1833 shortly after the family arrived in Canada; his second wife Elizabeth GOFTON he married 5 October 1835; he married his third wife Margaret McCLOY after his second wife's death in 1853.
Amy WILLSON married a John BRIGHTON. Many of the BRIGHTON's in Waterloo County are their descendants.

Ephraim Willson Jr. married Catherine O'BRIEN on 22 October 1844. Later in about 1867 Ephraim Jr. and his family left Waterloo Twsp. and moved to Plympton twsp. Lambton Co. Ont. where alot of my branch of the family has been ever since. Many in Ephraim Jr.'s branch of the family had one of the "L"s dropped hence the last name became WILSON. Does anyone recognize this family?

Funeral Card

________________


In 1847, an Irish family, Alexander McCloy, Sr., his wife and children emigrated to Canada. It was the time of the potato famine in Ireland and it was with great difficulty that money for the passage could be raised. Steerage passengers endured great hardships. All that was provided was hard tack, all other food was brought on board the passengers themselves. One of the younger McCloy children died at sea, another died at Five Locks near Bytown (now Ottawa). The destination of the McCloy family was Seaforth, Ont., where other relatives had come some time before, but on arriving at Preston, Ont., the father was so ill they could go no further. He died there and the kindly Joseph Erb family and others of Preston gave him a decent burial. Mrs. McCloy was stricken with brain fever and her life was despaired of, but again, kindly neighbors nursed her back to life and helped the widow to find homes for the older children, David, William and Mary. Joseph Erb gave Mrs. McCloy a house, rent free, for eight years. This story has a hanpy ending. Ephraim Wilson an English gentleman of means, married the widow, Mrs. McCloy, and her daughter Mary married Isaac, the son of Ephraim Wilson and they all lived happily ever after.
