• Notes

  From the Plattsville Echoes, 1967: " 'This is to certify that William Waldie and his wife Isabel Crozier, natives of the parish of Yarrow County of Selkirk, North Britain -- have resided in my neighborhood since their birth, that they are most respectable, honest, and industrious people and being now on the point of immigration, I wish to recommend them particularly to the protection and assistance of the well desposed during their passage from here to Upper Canada. Given under my hand and seal at Thirlstane County of Selkirk this 4th day of May, 1831. Mapier J. P. ' This is a copy of the original letter sent with the Waldies when they came to Canada in 1831. When William Waldie and his wife arrived in Canada, they settled on the 9th Concession, Lot 16 and Lot 17 on the 8th. His son John Waldie married Jean Allison of the 2nd Concession of Blenheim on April 16, 1864. They lived on the 13th Concession at Blink Bonnie. This farm was taken over by their only son Bertrand Waldie, who married Jesse Bond of Chesterfield on September 19, 1907. They sold the farm in 1947 and moved to York Street Plattsville. They had five children, John in Hamilton has one daughter; Elmer died in infancy; Jean (Mrs. George Perrin) at Roseville has one son and one daughter; Anna of Plattsville and Woodstock; and Earl of Plattsville who has three daughters, Mary Jane, Nancy, and Sharron and one son, Craig who is the only boy to carry on the Waldie name." Although Craig may have been the only son from that line, William had other sons who went to (came to) America and carried on the family name. William Waldie emigrated from Yarrow, Selkirk, Scotland in 1831, settling in Dumfries, Ontario, Canada and bought a farm on the 9th concession, lot 16 & 17, of Blenheim. He died of cancer of the mouth. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/95947900/william-waldie
