| 4051 | Jean is found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Port of Menteith Cemetery: "44 James BUCHANAN, wife Jane STEWART, 9 MAY 1834, age 26, mother Jane SANDS died (at) Stirling 23 JAN 1860, age 83, daughter Mary 14 JUL 1843, age 13." She is buried adjacent to her parents. James Buchanan married secondly on 16 DEC 1836 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire and Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland to Janet CAMERON b: 1803 in Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. Their descendants are beyond the scope of this research project. | Stewart, Jean (I16887)
|
| 4052 | Jean is not found with her family in 1851. She may have been married already or she may have died young. | McCallum, Jean (I9703)
|
| 4053 | Jean is not found with her parents in 1851 but she could easily have been married by this point. | Stewart, Jean (I16853)
|
| 4054 | Jean is presumed to have died young or she would have preceded her younger sister, Mary, as heiress to the estate of Craigtoun. | Stewart, Jean (I16878)
|
| 4055 | Jean is recalled by Janet Duncan, thus it is presumed that she lived to adulthood. Janet claimed that Jean died in Scotland. Jean is recorded as "Jannie" in the Harten family letter. | Hunter, Jane (I8133)
|
| 4056 | Jean Munro/Monro is shown in the Munro Family History as being the daughter of Hector Munro of Drummond and the wife of David Cuthbert of Drakies and as having the children shown here. | Munro, Jean (I11606)
|
| 4057 | Jean presumably died young prior to the birth of her same-named sister in 1761. | Stewart, Jean (I16884)
|
| 4058 | Jean Stewart is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kilmahog Cemetery #25 as: "daughter Jane died 30 NOV 1866, age 80." From film 035-0898 deaths in Perthshire 1866. Death: Name: Jean Stewart, Annuitant, Single. When: 1866 Nov 13th at 0h PM Dalvey farm, Kilmadock. Calling: female 80 years. Father John Stewart, deceased. Mother Janet Stewart, M.S. Dewar. Cause of death, Heart disease. Informant Donald McNie, cousin present, Registration 1866 Dec. 6th. | Stewart, Jean (I16889)
|
| 4059 | Jean Stewart was born in 1804 in the clachan of Morell, Easter Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR appears to record her birth place as "Meovie" which would make Jean the only child born there. However it is possible that the poor handwriting in the OPR does not say Meovie and may actually say Moril. It is difficult to tell if the middle letter is an 'r' or a 'v' and if the final letter's loop is an 'l' or an 'e'. Jean, who went by "Jane," was the fourth daughter of Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan (shown above). Jean emigrated from Perthshire, Scotland with her mother and siblings. The complete story of their journey can be found in the notes of Jane's mother, Catherine. According to Llewella McIntyre's genealogy, Jane married a man whose surname was McGowan (however the 1861 census shows their name as McCowan). Based on her son's birth date it is presumed that she married after immigrating. 1842 census records indicate that three of the eldest daughters were resident in the Stewart household in Puslinch, but by 1851 these daughters had moved elsewhere. It is believed that Jane was one of the three. Jane's brother Peter Stewart recorded in his journal that one of his sisters was married prior to emigrating and that her husband contracted cholera and died on the journey from Scotland. Peter does not record which sister this was. It's unlikely that it was Jean as it appears she married after immigrating. Jane has not been found in 1851. In 1861 and 1871 Jane was residing in Puslinch, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada, at the home of her brother Peter. Jane was widowed and residing with her son, Peter McGowan. | Stewart, Jean (I16874)
|
| 4060 | Jean Warrender was a widow when she gave birth to Alexander Stewart, illegitimate son of William Stewart. | Davidson, Elspeth (I25494)
|
| 4061 | Jean was descended from John Drummond of Drummonderinoch, her husband's great-grandmother, making them second-cousins. | Drummond, Jean of Comrie (I5053)
|
| 4062 | Jean was described by her sisters as a rebel in the family (perhaps referring to her teenage years) and was the only sister of the three who married. However her descendants never considered her to be rebelious. Jean received her gold medal and music teaching certificate in voice from the Toronto Conservatory of Music and sang with the Toronto Opera Company. She also sang as a paid soloist with Wesley United Church, First United Church, Dundas Centre United Church all in London, Middlesex, Ontario. She also sang with All Saints Anglican Church, Bishop Cronyn Memorial Anglican Church, and St. James Westminster Anglican Church, all in London. | Brown, Jean Adeline (I1667)
|
| 4063 | Jean's baptismal entry is not found in out Callander OPR transcriptions but comes from an LDS member submission to the IGI. | Stewart, Jean (I16883)
|
| 4064 | Jean's birth family has not been found in 1841 or 1851 census records. In 1861 Jean is found residing with her brother Robert at the residence of their uncle David Stewart in Letter of Strathgartney, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. | Stewart, Jean (I16851)
|
| 4065 | Jean's birth record gives her name as "Jean." She is recorded in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Janet Stewart, who was the second wife of John Jaffrey, by which marriage she had issue as under (Helen Jaffery...), (Alexander Jaffery...), other children who died unmarried." Jean's husband, John Jaffrey, served initially as Baillie and later as Provost of the town of Stirling (Alexander Barty, The History of Dunblane) and is alleged to have opened the town gates to Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745 at the behest of Jean. Her family was deeply involved in the 1745 Rising. When Jean's youngest brother, Archibald Stewart, 2nd of Glassingall, died without children, the next closest heir to the estate of Glassingall was Jean's son, Alexander Jaffrey, who became 3rd of Glassingall. | Steuart, Jean (Janet) (I16861)
|
| 4066 | Jean's name is also given as "Glassan". | McLashan, Jean (I10522)
|
| 4067 | Jean-Baptiste Antoine "Seignelay" COLBERT, Marquis de Seignelay, Minister of Navy. He went by the name of "Seignelay". He was more successful than his father in confirming his Scottish ancestry and in 1686 had his connection to the Castlehill family confirmed by the Scottish Parliament. He continued his father's work of expanding the French Navy from 18 to 125 vessels. In 1683, Seignelay inherited the estate of Sceaux. | Colbert, Jean-Baptiste Antoine (I2697)
|
| 4068 | Jean-Baptiste Colbert was a famous advisor in the court of King Louis XIV of France, "The Sun King" (1638-1715, r1643-1715). He was very proud of his Scottish ancestry and was so determined to show his descent from the family of Cuthbert of Castlehill that he attempted to have his genealogy confirmed by a decree of the Scottish Privy Council. His request was declined on the influence of the Duke of Lauderdale, however his son was more successful. In 1657 he purchased the Barony of Seignelay. | Colbert, Jean-Baptiste (I2699)
|
| 4069 | Jean-Baptiste negotiated some of the most important treaties towards the end of Louis XIV's reign, notably the treaty (1700) that occasioned the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714), in which the dying Charles II of Spain named Louis XIV's grandson, Philippe, duc d'Anjou, heir to the Spanish throne, eventually founding the line of Spanish Bourbons. Torcy was the guiding spirit of French diplomacy at the series of international conferences that resulted in the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) and the Treaty of Rastatt (1714). | Colbert, Jean-Baptiste (I2700)
|
| 4070 | Jeanette is not listed in Stewart Clan Magazine as one of the children of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. Jeanette is mentioned in the will of her brother, Duncan A. Stewart, who refers to his sister Janet Perkins. Only one male Perkins is found in Wilkinson County in 1830, namely William P Perkins. His wife is the right age to be Jeanette. It's not confirmed that he is her husband but no other viable option has been found. | Stewart, Jeanette Jane (Planter) (I17133)
|
| 4071 | Jeanette went by Jean and Nettie. In 1921, her 23 year old sister, Catherine Grieg was residing with her. | Greig, Jeanette Nettie Gibbs (I7290)
|
| 4072 | JEANIE DUNCAN (NÉE GILMOUR) (1867-1899) aka Jane Jeanie Gilmour was born on 4th September 1867 in Bridgeton, Glasgow to Thomas Gilmour, stone carter, and his wife Jane/Jeanie Gilmour, née Gorman. Jane Gilmour married Robert Duncan on 16th July 1886, at Rutherglen in Glasgow. Jane and Robert Duncan had at least 1 son: Abraham Duncan (1887-1955). According to her death record, Jeanie Duncan, married to Robert Duncan, iron forge labourer, died, aged 21 years, on 17th August 1899, at 18 Burgher Street, Parkhead. She is herein confirmed to be the daughter of Thomas Gilmour, carter, and his wife Jeanie Gilmour, née Gordon [Gorman]. Robert Duncan, widower, left his mark when registering his wife's death on the 17th at Camlachie, Glasgow. Jeanie Duncan was buried on 22nd August in lair 485 of Tollcross cemetery. There are a total of at least 46 people in this lair, including Jeanie's father Thomas and siblings James and Agnes. In the lair record, Jeanie's name is misquoted as Mary Duncan. [Memorial created by David Gilmour, 1st cousin, 4 times removed of Jeanie.] | Gilmour, Jane (I6961)
|
| 4073 | Jehan ("John") Colbert is recorded in 1512 as a "mason, like his father" and resided in Porte-Cérès, Reims, France where his children were born. | Colbert, Jehan (I2775)
|
| 4074 | Jehan is described as a wealthy freeman merchant and clothier in Reims and Comptroller-General of Burgundy and Picardie. | Colbert, Jehan or Jean (I2778)
|
| 4075 | Jehan was a merchant in Reims. | Cocquebert, Jehan (I2667)
|
| 4076 | Jennie refused to follow her husband to Saskatchewan. | Shaw, Jennie (I14221)
|
| 4077 | Jennie Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. | Stewart, Jennie (I24955)
|
| 4078 | Jennie was born in 1899 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. She was barely two years old when her family moved north to Teeswater, Bruce, Ontario, Canada. Five years later, her mother died prematurely, leaving her father widowed to raise a family of 6. In 1911 and 1921 Jennie was residing in Teeswater, Bruce, Ontario, Canada with her widowed father and her siblings. She married in 1931 to Herbert Charles Templeman and died just a few years later in 1936. Her cause of death is not recorded. There is no record of any children from their marriage. | Stewart, Jennie Isla (I17135)
|
| 4079 | Jeremiah's baptism record gives his parents names as "James and Sarah Prangley" in Warminster. The family shown here is the only family known to match that description. In 1851 Jeremiah has a 12 year old nephew, James Matcham Prangley residing with him, born in Fordington, Dorset, England. | Prangley, Jeremiah (I12822)
|
| 4080 | Jerry married a woman named Joanne and had four kids. | Mercier, Gerald (I20777)
|
| 4081 | Jesse is shown in the 1871 Donald Stewart in Edinample Family Tree. | McIntyre, Jessie (I10193)
|
| 4082 | Jessie Duncan loved to play euchre and cribbage. The Angus family were reputed to play cards "like there was no tomorrow". Jessie and Jack's daughters inherited their parents' fondness for card playing. The origin of Jessie's odd middle name, Brown, is a mystery. Even her daughters Jackie and Mae, had no idea where their mother's middle name came from. Unfortunately nobody thought to ask Jessie while she was still alive. It is presently suspected that she is named after the wife of her father's cousin, Robert Orr, who married a Jessie whose surname may have been Brown. Robert had a sister Janet Orr who is the likely source of Jessie Brown Duncan's sister's name, Janet Orr Duncan. Robert Orr was a coal miner who may have worked with Jessie's father, Robert Wilson Duncan. | Duncan, Jessie Brown (I5352)
|
| 4083 | Jessie is found in the 1881 census with her husband. by 1883 he was remarried in Austria. It is presumed that Jessie died between 1881-1883. | Jessie (I8265)
|
| 4084 | Jessie Stuart, eldest daughter of Kenneth Bruce Stuart, Esq. of Annat, married on 9 September, 1839 to Rev. Alexander Moody. (She died 27 April, 1891). Her grandfather had entailed his estate at Rait on the braes of the Carse of Gowrie which he had named Annat after an old family estate, on her father Kenneth, with the condition that if a female succeeded, as was the case, her husband should take the surname Stuart of Annat. Hence Alexander Moody took the name Alexander Moody Stuart. Jessie's children prospered well. They included a clergyman, lawyer, accountant, actuary, banker and merchant. | Stuart, Jessie Heiress of Annat in Rait (I18703)
|
| 4085 | Jim and Mable remained in England. [Harriett Jones, confirmed by Edna Jones] | Liptrot, James Openshaw (I8948)
|
| 4086 | Jim, or "Col. William" as he was known in show business, was a colourful man, "one of the last of the old time medicine show men". He was a rebel who ran away to join the circus, or so his story goes. He worked as a telephone lineman, like his brother William, until at least 31 years of age. However, he was also likely a bootlegger in the employ of Canada's most famous mobster. In the last ten years of his life, he became a carnival performer and a "snake oil" salesman who was known to set up his stand on the street corners of Brantford to sell his elixirs. He was the black sheep of the family and was completely cut-off by his brother Tom. Tom's descendants never knew of his existence. His brother William's daughters remember that it was not permitted to speak of Jim in Tom's presence. Even Jim's nephew Stewart Brown never knew of his Uncle Jim's existence. As Stewart's grandson, I only found of his existence from the descendants of Jim and Tom's other brother, the real "William" Brown. Jim died in Brantford while setting up his pitch stand, however he was residing in Galt at the time. He is buried in Mountview Cemetery, Cambridge (Galt), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It is speculated that the rift may have begun over Jim's dubious military service. Jim claims to have been a member of the Canadian Mounted Rifles and present at the coronation of King Edward VII. He claims to have fought in the Boer War, having served the entire campaign. All of this is possible. His gravestone records him as a Private in the 3rd Canadian Mounted Rifles. However the 3rd Regiment, Canadian Mounted Rifles, was formed in Alberta, so it seems somewhat dubious that a Hamiltonian would be part of that regiment. They were deployed in April 1902 in the Boer War after fighting had already ceased. They were disbanded in July 1902 without having seen action. His brother Tom certainly served in the military, but never saw any action (see note: Thomas Brown) and one theory is that Tom was jealous. Another speculation is that Jim's military record is somewhat fictional (he was not a colonel) and that he combined the identities of his brothers William and Tom to create his sideshow persona. It is certain that Tom was present at the coronation of Edward VII. Was Jim present also, or did he "borrow" that story? If he did indeed "borrow" part or all of his military record from his brothers William and Tom, then this would certainly have offended his proper public figure of a brother, Tom, the Chief of Police. The real truth may never be known and may be a combination of both theories. According to Michael Dean (grandson of Tom Brown), his mother shared a story that her father, Tom Brown, had a brother who was a bootlegger who was always getting into trouble with police, but Tom Brown arranged to have him driven out of town every time he was caught so that he would not be arrested and charged. The most likely candidate for this brother would be James Brown as it fits with his character and his later residence in Brantford which would be "just out of town" for Hamilton. It would also explain the rift between James and Tom. If it is true that James was a bootlegger then he would have had to have worked for either Rocco Perry or Antonio Papalia as they ran all bootlegging in the Hamilton area. The attached newspaper clipping speaks volumes about the personality of "Col. William" and reading between the lines can reveal much of the division between Jim and the rest of his family. Jim never married, and never had children (that we know of!). Brown, Jim - Obituary "Snake Oil" Maker Dies Brantford Free Press - March 24, 1950 Photo caption: "Col." William Brown, 72, one of the last old-time medicine show men whose snake oil has been bought by thousands of Canadians, died suddenly of a heart attack in Brantford as he was setting up a new pitch. Medicine Show Man Dies Setting Pitch in Brantford "Col." William Brown, 72, one of the last of the old-time medicine show men, died suddenly here today. As Col. Brown he was known to thousands of Canadians, and to more thousands he sold his snake oil. His real name was J.S. Brown [sic] and his address was 7 Wellington Street, Galt. He suffered a heart attack outside a Brantford factory and death was almost instantaneous. Until the last, he was a showman. He was about to set up his pitch outside the Market Street plant of the Massey-Harris Company here when he was stricken. It was payday at the plant and he was going to sell a little of his snake oil, to which, in recent years, he had added the word "liniment". And, according to a druggist friend, it was a good liniment. His death caused considerable excitement and the circumstances surrounding it were as unusual as some of the stories he told in his spiel when a crowd gathered. In his bag he had a big snake but no one knew if and when he was admitted at the hospital a nurse, Miss Alice Riddell, opened the bag seeking for some identification and the snake popped its head out. Nurse Riddell dropped the lid again, but quick. Almost the same thing happened in Col. Brown's neat and tidy two-roomed home in Galt. A police sergeant and constable went there to look for a hidden store of money he was, by popular opinion, supposed to have. They started the search aware there might be a snake around but they didn't spot it for a minute. They found it curled up on top of a box. Another big one, it apparently was allowed the freedom of the house while the Colonel was away. Colonel Brown called his snakes rattlesnakes, but D.S. Sossin, perhaps his closest friend, said one was a blue racer and the other a yellow bull snake. It was the yellow bull snake the police found. They got it back in its box and it will go for biological study to the collegiate at Galt if the school wants it. Traffic Officer James Davison has the other snake at the police station here. It is likely that it will be destroyed. "Man of Mystery" Colonel Brown, who was a striking figure in his 10-gallon hat, white goatee and mustache, was often called "a man of mystery." He wore his hair long and flowing. For years he had his own medicine show that travelled all over the content. He travelled, too, with circuses and carnivals. The colonel, wherever he appeared, looked like a man who had just come from where the sweet magnolias blossom, every girl is a belle, a gentleman is "suh". But he never saw the south, except with a medicine show. His had been a more rugged career. He was a member of the Canadian Mounted Rifles at the coronation of King Edward VII, he liked to recall, and before that he had fought in the Boer War, serving in the entire campaign. He told interviewers that he was considered "the black sheep" of his family and he declined to give any of his family background. He was, he admitted, the oldest pitchman still on the road. His snake oil liniment was guaranteed by him to help or cure corns, colds, coughs, drawn cords, sprains, asthma, catarrh, hay fever and rheumatism among other things. "Real Actor" The colonel always put on a show before he started selling and anyone who ever stood on his pitch was satisfied they were listening to a fine talker and watching a real actor. He covered 30 of Ontario's major fairs every year in the last ten years and was a star attraction. The dignity he assumed on the pitch to match the title he had acquired the same way he never let drop in his spiel. What he had to offer, he pointed out, with some flourish, was an educational lecture on American snakes. At the right time, he would relate how a dying Indian chief had revealed to him the power of snake oil as a cure-all. At one time he had 50 to 100 snakes in one of his show pits - he used to relate. He also could remember one huge python he owned. "It was 38 feet long and weighed 400 pounds," he once told an interviewer. "It took eight men to carry it every time the show moved." The colonel loved his snakes like pets. One he startled the staff of a Kingston hospital when he walked in to report he had been bitten by a rattlesnake. He wouldn't have gone in, he said, if the fangs had not stuck in his finger and he was afraid of an infection. The colonel said he was a bachelor. His body was taken from here to Galt today. No one in either city seemed to know of any immediate relatives though it was reported that the colonel had a brother who was at one time chief of police in one of Canada's largest cities." In 1891 he was residing in Hamilton with his parents and siblings. In 1901 he was residing in Hamilton with his parents and siblings. He was employed as a telephone lineman. In 1911 he was residing in Hamilton with his parents and sister, Minnie Kells. He was employed as a foreman for a hydro-electric company. He has not been found in the 1921 or 1931 census. He may have been living in the USA during those years. His gravestone records him as Pvt James C Brown, 3rd Canadian Mounted Rifles. | Brown, Pvt. James Cooke (I1680)

| 4088 | Joan Huston's notes indicate that Bernard married a woman named Lillian and had: two children whose names are not recorded. | Brown, Bernard Lester (I20523)
|
| 4089 | Joan Huston's notes indicate that James had five children. Their names are not recorded. | Brown, James Sylvester (I20521)

| 4091 | Joan was born in the Tower of London and is sometimes known as "Joanna of the Tower". She was married at the age of seven to David Bruce. | England, Joan of (I5680)

| 4092 | Joan was one of many illegitimate issue of King John. | Plantagenet, Joan (I12385)

| 4093 | Job is recorded as a pauper at the time of his death. | Prangley, Job (I12825)
|
| 4094 | Johan is listed in the Palatine List taken at St. Catharines, 2 JUN 1709 as follows: "Feller, Johan, Husbandman and vinedresser, age 45, sons aged 4 and 2, daughters aged 12 and 9, R." He is recorded on the Embarkation List from Holland Third Party (of Palatine Emigrants) -- embarked between June 5 - 10, 1709, list as: "Veller, Johan & vrouw (Frau = wife), with four children." Johan is not listed in the Subsitence Lists of 1710 and 1712. It may be that he died and his wife remarried. Or the following entry may be a transcription error for Johan: Velten, Johann Wilhelm 3 adults over 10 years and 1 child under 10 in 1710, 4 adults over 10 in 1712. If so, then this would indicate that by 1712 he had no children at home and would negate him as a possible ancestor for the Furlers as shown here. He is tentatively suggested here as a brother to Niclaus Feller/Veller based solely on the weak connection that they share a surname, were both Palatinates, and arrived in New York within a couple of years of each other and both settled in the same area. No proof of this relationship has been found. He has not been identified in any later records and it is suggested that he may have died shortly after immigration. It is further suggested here that one of his sons may have been named Jacob and that he may be the "Jacob Veller/Furler Sr." who was the partriarch of the later Furler family. This relationship, too, has not been verified. No documentary evidence has so far been found to show what the actual names were for Johan's children. | Veller, Johan (I19677)
|
| 4095 | Johan's surname is recorded variously as Veller, Feller or Fuller. His baptism record has not been found. Philip Veller was naturalized 8 and 9 Sept. 1715. On Sept. 18, 1716, Johann Philipp FELLER, son of Niclaus FELLER of Guntersblum in the Earldom Leinig-Hartenburg, married Catharina Elisabetha RAU/RAUH/RAUCH, daughter of Niclaus RAUH of Oppenheim in the Palatinate. (West Church Register) Philip made his first appearance on tax rolls in 1717/18 and continued until Feb. 1761 in Dutchess County, New York. The will of Philipp Veller of Rynebeek was dated 1763 and probated 1 Feb. 1768. Philip and Catherine acted together as baptism sponsors in the West Church on various occasions between 10 OCT 1714 - 28 JAN 1769. It was a German custom to honor engaged couples by inviting them to act together as sponsors. Philip Veller's widow, Catharine, was on the Rhinebeck tax list of 1765-66. She was probably the Catherine Feller who acted as a sponsor with her son Philip, Nov. 16, 1771. | Feller, Johan Philip (I5897)

| 4096 | Johanna Stewart Browne (May 4, 1863-Jan 13, 1864) died from a “hacking” cough at age 8 months in Glasgow. She was named for Agnes’ younger sister. https://geneal4real.wordpress.com/2014/11/22/john-browne-and-agnes-stewart-revisited/ | Browne, Johanna Stewart (I25285)
|
| 4097 | Johannes had a mill bef. 1769 on Christman's Mill Creek in Herkimer Co., NY. They were alive as of 29 Apr. 1767. | Christmann, Johannes (I2829)
|
| 4098 | Johannes is recorded at his baptism as Hans Ure Furler, son of Jacob Furler and Maria Cathira Ackerman. Ure is a short form of Jorg, or George. Johannes' brothers, Jacob and Cornelius, are found in 1790 in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, living near a John Furler. It is suggested that the later John is the same person as this Johannes and that he simply Anglicized his name from Hans to John. Furthermore John Furler and Rachel Krom were witnesses to his nephew John Meisner's baptism in 1788. John was too young to have joined his older brothers in Butler's Rangers and it does not appear that he followed them to Ontario at all. In 1790, John is found living in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA with the following family: John FURLOW, 1m +16, 1m -16, 1f. He is residing next to his brother Cornelius Furlow and brother-in-law Coonradt Meisner, and very close to his eldest brother Jacob Furlow. In 1800, John is found living in Woodstock, Ulster County, New York, USA with the following family: John FURLOW, 1m-10, 2m 26-45, 3f-10, 1f26-45. He is shown as residing within five farms of Cornelius Furlow, Jacob Furlow and Coonradt Meisner. In 1810, John is found in Shandaken (Woodstock), Ulster County, New York, USA with the following family: John FURLOW, 1m-10, 1m45+, 1f-10, 1f10-16, 2f26-45, 1f26-45, This would appear to be John with his 10 yr old son Cornelius. He is still living nearby to his brother-in-law Coonradt Meisner, but his brothers Jacob and Cornelius Furler are not present. John was not UEL so was not eligible for Canadian land. The other Furlers have left for Ontario.) Jacob and Cornelius had applied for the UEL land grants in 1798. It is presumed that by 1810 they were then residing in Ontario, Canada. John did not serve in Butler's Rangers and thus was not eligible for a UEL land grant. Shandaken became incorporated as a new township in the early 1800s comprising part of the former Woodstock township. The shift from "Woodstock" to "Shandaken" likely reflects this civil administrative change, not a geographic move for the Furlow family. John is not found in the 1820 census. However his son, Cornelius, is found with an elderly male living in his house who is the right age to be John. Thus it is presumed that by 1820 Cornelius had become head of the household and John was residing with his son. This family has not been found in the 1830 census. John is found enumerated separately again in 1840 as John FURLOUGH, 1m 70-80, 1f70-80. He is residing nearby to his son Cornelius. John is not found in the 1850 census and is presumed to have died. It is not certain that John Furler actually married Rachel Krom. They are simply listed as co-witnesses on a baptism. However it was the custom in the early Dutch community to allow newly engaged couples to act as witnesses at baptisms. When a man and woman are listed together as witnesses and they are not engaged then the register usually states so. Johannes Ure Furler is believed to have married ABT 1789 to Rachel KROM. It is believed they had the following children. The arrangement of children below is calculated from early census data. No birth records have been found for any of these children. It is not confirmed that Cornelius is the son of John. See notes on Cornelius for more information. | Furler, Johannes Ure (I6406)

| 4099 | John "Jack" Cameron was a police officer with the Hamilton Police Force. His family came from Nichol Township in Wellington County, Ontario, not far from his wife's family in Puslinch Township, Wellington County, Ontario. His wife's first cousin, Jean Stewart, was married to Tom Brown, who later became Chief of the Hamilton Police. Hamilton Times. February 08 1898 “ ‘I am guilty of being drunk, but not of being disorderly,’ said Lena Turner, standing up in the dock at the Police Court this morning, she having been arrested last night by Constable Cameron on a charge of drunk and disorderliness. Lena’s conduct consisted in quarreling with her ‘gentleman friend’ in the vicinity of Vine and Cannon streets. After admonishing the girl, the Magistrate allowed her to go, but this advice did not deter Lena from casting a saucy look of defiance at P.C. Cameron as she left the court. “The police should keep a weather eye on Lena, who is only 19 or 20 years of age. She has done time.” (c/o Hamilton Police Service Archives) In 1901 he is recorded as being a constable. Black Hand Operation Thwarted by Hamilton Police - September 1909 Early in the month of September, 1909, Salvatore Sanzona, a fruit dealer on James Street North, received the following letter : “We pray bring $1,000 when go to Dundas or you will be in peril of your life. No money on your person we wreck your house. Think, bring money when go to Dundas. We find you no money we take your life.” The letter, badly written, was unsigned but drawn all over it were several crosses and black hands, which were supposed to indicate death. Sanzone, a large good-natured Italian, immediately went to the police with the letter. At first, thinking Sanzone was the victim of some kind of joke, the police refused to act. Sanzone’s persistence and obvious fear soon changed their minds and a plan was devised to capture the extortioners. Sanzone was told to make his normal trip to Dundas with the money. The police would meet Sanzone’s wagon at a dark spot on the way and hide in the back under a tarpaulin. Another Italian was to accompany Sanzone to write down any words spoken. The next morning the plan was put into effect. The three detectives, Inspectors Sayers, Coulter and Bleakley, managed to hide themselves beside the bananas and under the tarp but were most uncomfortable as the wagon rattled along King street towards Dundas. When the wagon reached the point where the Hamilton and Dundas Electric Railway crossed the Dundas road, just beyond the Halfway House, a masked man rushed out from behind the bushes and stopped Sanzone’s horse. Two other masked men then approached, revolvers in hand, and demanded in Italian that Sanzone turn over the $1,000. As the roll of bills was handed over, the men dropped their guard for a moment while they were examining the money. At this point, Sanzone pulled back the tarpaulin and the three detectives jumped out of the rig, revolvers drawn. He three extortionists ran away as several shots were fired. Two of the criminals were almost immediately captured, but the third man almost managed to get away. Detective Bleakley saw that he was heading towards the railway track. As luck would have it, a radial electric railway car happened along heading in the same direction. Beakley sprinted alongside the car and then jumped on the front platform. When the train neared the fugitive, Bleakley ordered the engineer to stop, jumped off and with his revolver drawn captured his man. Photo: 1908 Detectives on the steps of the Courthouse: Coulter, D. Campbell, Bleakley, Cameron, Sayers Bainbridge, Hawkins, S. Campbell, Cruikshanks, Lowrey Chief Constable Smith, Deputy Chief Whatley c/o Brian Henley, Hamilton Police Service Archives In 1911, he is recorded as being a detective. He is mentioned in James Dubro's book, The King of the Mob: Rocco Perri and the Women Who Ran His Rackets: "It was the late winter of 1917 when Rocco and Bessie (Perri) first came to the attention of the police. A man came to detective Ernest Goodman to complain that after visiting a prostitute at 157 Caroline Street North and paying her a two dollar fee, he had been robbed of the rest of his cash. "Goodman, along with Detective Jack Cameron and the complainant, visited the house and interviewed Bessie and Rocco in the kitchen. (Bessie told the cops her name was 'Rose Cyceno.' The surname was probably an anglicization of 'Sussino,' the name Rocco would use later, and which was most likely his mother's name.) In the end, Goodman had to report that the prostitute involved was not in the house. She may actually have left of the complainant may have lost his courage. The man promised to meet the police later, but didn't show up at the appointed time. Goodman merely reported that 157 Caroline Street was a disorderly house and recommended that it be watched."
