__________________________

So far those mentioned have, of with the exception of Capt. Smith, been situated along the road which follows the general course of the river northward. There was only one other spot, so far as can be learned, where a settlement had been made up to the year 1825. Simon Cress and his wife, Rachel, with their two sons and two daughters, came to Waterloo along with Mr. Erb, in 1806. They settled on land upon part of which the village of St. Jacob's stands now. In doing this they followed the rule by going up the Conestogo river. Simon Cress died in October, 1863, and his wife twenty years before him. Those in their family were : Ephraim, the oldest ; Polly, who married John Beatty ; Jacob, died at Port Elgin, and Rachel, the wife of Elisha Hewitt. In the family of Ephraim Cress were: Simon ; Levi, now living retired in St. Jacob's ; John, also in St. Jacob's ; Elizabeth,,. Mrs. Bricker ; Polly, Mrs. John Whiteman ; Rachel, Mrs. Bernard Meyer.

A son of Jacob Cress, who died at, Port Elgin, is Peter Cress, living in St. Jacob's, and a daughter is Mrs. David Puttock, living at Blair, near Preston. Henry, son of Levi, is now on the old Cress farm at St. Jacob's.
