  • Notes 
    • JOSEPH LATSHAW, (deceased), was one of the oldest settlers in Brant county. He was born in York, State of Pennsylvania, and his wife (Mary Riddel) was a native of Carlisle, in the same state. They were married at Carlisle, 21st November, 1799, by Rev. Robert Davidson, D. D. Subsequently they emigrated to Canada, and at first settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, and afterwards moved into the County of Brant, where they ended their days. Mr. Latshaw died 25th June, 1837, aged 58 years, and his wife died 12th July, 1849, aged 68 years. While in the States he was engaged in the millinery business, as well as during his stay in Waterloo County, but in Brant County he followed farming pursuits up to the last day of his life. Mr. and Mrs. Latshaw, who were members of the Baptist Church, were the parents of thirteen children, of whom only three are now living, viz., Harriett, wife of Leonard Horr, and residing in Dubuque, Iowa; Catherine, widow of Alex. Spottiswoode, of South Dumfries; and Lucinda R., living at home on the old farm. The deceased are Matilda, Maria, Isabella, Adelina, Eliza A., Samuel R., Peter, Henry, John, and Christopher. Mr. Latshaw met with a considerable amount of success during his lifetime, and at his death left his family in good circumstances, and with a comfortable home.
