• Notes

  John W. Brubacher, "son of John and Eva (Weber) Brubacher, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, December 9th, 1803, and was raised in Mifflin County, same state. He came to Canada in 1825 but returned to Pennsylvania the same fall. In the spring of 1826 he came back to Canada and had his home with his friends. On July 24th, 1827, he was married to Catharine, daughter of David and Maria (Guth) Martin. She was born November 25th, 1808. They moved on their farm, being composed of lot No. 17, German Company's Tract, Woolwich Township, about three miles west of St. Jacobs where they resided until his death which took place March 12th, 1886. She is still living and quite smart for a woman of so great an age. Her home is with her daughter, Eva, who resides on the old homestead. He was ordained as a deacon of the Mennonite Church on Ascension Day, 1847, and served the church of his choice to the best of his knowledge until his death. Their family consisted of thirteen children" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character.
