      _________________

      The house was a storey and a half but seemed to extend a long distance at the rear. How that large family was stowed away it is hard for us to guess, but there was always room for one more. There must have been Grandmother and Grandfather, four sons some of the time, several daughters not married yet, and two of Grandmother's sisters, and a niece came from Scotland -these were "Aunt Betsy" and "Aunt Steele" and Jennie Doak whose exact relationship I do not know.. Perhaps she was a cousin, rather than a niece of Grandmother whose mother's name had been Doak. Added to these came Sidney Smith who moved in with his little daughter Maria for a while when his wife Elizabeth Goldie (John's eldest daughter) died soon after the birth of this child who was brought up by the grandparents (and was later to marry James Anderson)
