| 7301 | William Taylor was born in England, probably in Manchester. It is believed that he was the son of Thomas Taylor and Alice Hulme who were married in Manchester on 11 MAY 1792 (according to an LDS member entry). No official record of William's birth has been found. (An erroneous baptism had previously been identified as 25 MAY 1794 Saint Mary, Bury, Lancashire, England however this same child is recorded as having died 6 JUN 1794.) William immigrated to New York, USA sometime prior to 1815 when he is recorded as having married Sarah Chew in Rye, Westchester, New York, USA. Early census records and church records show no indication of any Taylor family in Rye prior to 1810, and post-1810 records imply only one family named Taylor resided in Rye prior to 1850. Careful interpretation of these records would appear to indicate that William probably came to the USA as a young boy with his parents and siblings and possibly an uncle. (A detailed analysis of these early records is presented below.) In 1815, William married Sarah Chew whose family also came from Manchester, England. She had immigrated with her brothers and widowed mother sometime between 1810-1815. It is not known if the Chews and Taylors knew each other back in Manchester or not. William and Sarah began their family in New York where they had their first four children, concluding with their son, William C Taylor who was born in 1824. Sometime shortly after William Jr's birth, William Sr and Sarah and their family (including Sarah's widowed mother Ann Chew nee Walker) removed from New York and came to Canada. According to a later biography they stayed briefly in "Toronto", however it is believed that "Toronto" should be interpreted loosely. Sarah Chew's brothers had settled in Weston, Ontario, Canada (present-day Etobicoke, a suburb of Toronto), where they were prospering as pioneer settlers and had a thriving mill business. It is presumed that William Taylor and Sarah Chew stayed with Sarah's brothers in Weston. On October 19, 1826 William Taylor acquired from Col. Talbot a land grant of 100 acres of undeveloped wilderness land along Bear Creek (present-day Sydenham River) in Kent county, southwestern Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) where he built a grist mill. The Sydenham waterway was the only transportation route from Kent county to the city of Detroit. The town of Dawn Mills, near present-day Dresden (not to be confused with Don Mills, near Toronto) grew up around the mill. William quickly expanded his land grants to an eventual 1000 acre area along the north shore of Bear Creek. As business at the mill prospered William opened a general store, a lumber mill, and a ship yard. He eventually added a fourth mill to his holdings. (It's not known what kind of mill.) By 1830 Captain Taylor was living in Kent County where he appears to have been a entrepreneurial pioneer-extraordinaire. He is almost solely responsible for founding the village of Dawn Mills which grew up around his saw mill, grist mill, general store and other businesses. Not only is the Taylor family responsible for the birth of the village of Dawn Mills but also they are responsible for its subsequent demise. However, we will come to that later. The following article from Romantic Kent -- The Story of a County 1626-1952 by Victor Lauriston, recounts the life of William Taylor: "[The plentiful natural resources helped the early settlers in Camden West township] eke out a livelihood, all unsuspicious of the early advent of a man who was to change their lives. "Captain William Taylor, born in England on April 11, 1794, settled in Toronto when it was still "muddy York". Whether his marriage to 18-year-old Sara Chew on March 30, 1815 took place before or after he emigrated, we do not know. [Although the author of the article did not know, it has now been confirmed that they were married in New York City, and their early children were born in New York.] He was still resident in Toronto when his fifth child and second son, Thomas Hulme Taylor was born on September 10, 1826. "...About 1830, or perhaps a little earlier, Taylor moved to his new demesne. With James Smith he built a grist mill on the south bank at a bend in the river, where a series of rapids not merely marked the head of navigation, but provided good water power. Prior to that time settlers had gone to the Detroit River in canoes with their grain, the only nearer mills, on the Thames, being difficult to access through the forests and swamps. Taylor also established a general store and a saw-mill; and from these enterprises the resulting community took the name of Dawn Mills. He also engaged in shipbuilding, his craft, the 'Sara Taylor' and the 'Dawn', being operated as adjuncts to his business enterprises, not merely on the river, but on the upper lakes. "New settlers came in, and a village gradually clustered around the mills. It was in 1835 that A. B. Baxter came. A year later he became partner in Taylor's store, the first in the community. "In the rebellion of 1837, William Taylor was commissioned captain and raised a militia company in which young James Smith served as lieutenant...." By the mid-1800s the railroad was transforming the transportation industry. No longer were waterways the means of travel. When the railroad lines were being considered for the Kent County area, the Taylor family campaigned vigorously to have the railroad come through Dawn Mills. They were not successful and the local business economy suffered badly as commerce followed the railway lines. After the death of Captain William Taylor, his business interests passed to his second son, Thomas Hulme Taylor. Thomas made a valiant effort to maintain his father's businesses in Dawn Mills, at least while his mother remained alive. When Sarah Chew died Thomas Hulme Taylor sold most of his father's businesses and moved the woolen mill to Chatham where the Taylor Mills Company continued in the family until well into the mid-20th century. Thomas sold one mill to his brother-in-law, Charles Prangley (below), and another to the McVeans of Dresden. (Coincidentally, it is interesting to note that one of the McVean descendants today is a colleague and best friend of the author of this work.) Today there is nothing left of the village of Dawn Mills except a few houses and the ruins of the foundations of the old mills. | Taylor, Capt. William (I18570)

| 7302 | William Thomas Harrison Jr was born posthumously four months after his namesake father died. In 1911, at age 15, William Thomas Harrison Jr, was residing at 1 Ramparts Road in Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his mother, step-father and step-siblings. He was working as a grocery errand boy. On 11 Sep 1915, 19 year old William Thomas Harrison, residing in Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force for WWI. He gives his birth place as "Homeburg." England. No such place is known. He lists his birthday as "unknown." His next of kin is a Mr. Alfred B. Owens of Toronto. There is insufficient information to know if he is the same William Thomas Harrison born in 1895 in Lancaster to William Thomas Harrison and Margaret Ellen Angus. Meanwhile, on 11 Dec 1915, 20 year old Thomas Harrison, son of Margaret Ellen Harrison, residing at 192 Strand Road in Preston, Lancashire, England, enrolled in the British Army. There is insufficient information to know if he might be the correct William Thomas Harrison, Jr. There is not sufficient information to prefer one of these cases over the other. | Harrison, William Thomas Jr (I7604)
|
| 7303 | William was 3rd Lord of Bramber. He added the lands of Brecon and Abergavenny to the growing family holdings. In 1174 he became Sherrif of Hereford. | de Braose, Baron William (I4236)
|
| 7304 | William was a dentist in Brantford. | Cuthbert, Dr. William Nelson (I3655)
|
| 7305 | William was a miller and forester in Ardoch. William is described in Stewarts of the South as: "William, his (James') brother, lives with him as a foreman. He (William) is a bachelor." He is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions as: "William STEWART (at) Ardoch Mill (in) Strathyre, died 23 APR 1860." ------------- 29 James STEWART, farmer (at) Laggan (in) Strathyre, died SEP 1852, wife Mary STEWART predeceased him, brother William STEWART (at) Ardoch Mill (in) Strathyre, died 23 APR 1860 (family: Christina 12 MAR 1881, Robert farmer (at) Laggan, died 24 NOV 1900 (his wife Janet STEWART 26 NOV 1880, son Peter farmer (at) Immervoulin, died 15 APR 1935), John farmer (at) Laggan, 29 MAR 1911 (his wife Helen MACKAY 25 JAN 1917, son James farmer (at) Laggan died 5 MAR 1935)). 32 (next to 31) John STEWART, died (at) Laggan (in) Strathyre 29 MAR 1911, wife Helen MCKAY, died there 25 JAN 1917, youngest son James died there 15 MAR 1935, youngest daughter Sarah 19 MAY 1967. | Stewart, William in Ardoch (I18131)

| 7306 | William was a policeman in Bury, Lancashire, England. | Lenny, William (I24458)
|
| 7307 | William was a shoemaker. He married and moved to Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland and had a family. | Anderson, William (I352)
|
| 7308 | William was a witness to his cousin Davine Ferne Furler's wedding in 1919. | Swears, William Henry (I18377)
|
| 7309 | William was an officer in the Jacobite army. There is confusion between this family and the family of James Stewart, 4th of Ardvorlich, who are also described as being "of Ballachallan" with matching children's names and ages. The book Robert Louis Stevenson and the Scottish Highlanders has the following: "Major David Stewart of Ballochallan was found hiding in the Braes of Leny, near Callander and were discovered by Government troops who overpowered them and took them to the garrison at Stirling Castle where Major David Stewart died of his wounds. Two of his brothers Doctor Stewart and William Stewart left for Annapolis (Maryland) Virginia. This book also refers to Charles Stewart of Ballochallan being listed as a person found guilty of treason in 1747 and also excepted from the General Act of Pardon." The author has confused two families here. Major David Stewart of Ballachallan was the son of James Stewart, 4th of Ardvorlich. Charles Stewart of Ballachallan, was the brother of this William. On 22 July 1747, William's brother, George Stewart, received a visit in Maryland from Alexander Stewart, footman to Prince Charles Edward Stuart, who had been transported to Maryland as a rebel. Alexander wrote, "Dr Stewart, and his brother William, both living in Annapolis, and both brothers to David Stewart of Ballachallan in Monteith, Scotland, who were all my loyal master's fast friends." (Paton, Henry, The Lyon in Mourning, Vol. 2, Edinburgh, 1905, p. 242) According to the Ardvorlich Correspondence, this William Stewart carried on business as a merchant and left descendants in America. | Stewart, William (I18027)
|
| 7310 | William was born at Ardvorlich. He married on 22 October 1851 Jane Emily Turnley nee Wilson, daughter of Maj. Hill Wilson, and had a son and daughter. William succeeded to Ardvorlich on his uncle Robert’s death without issue in 1854. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) William, his wife, and infant son were all killed at the Mutiny of Gwalior in Bengal, India on 14 Jun 1857. Only their daughter Charlotte survived. Charlotte returned to Scotland where she married and had children. (MacGregor) The lands of Ardvorlich then passed to William's brother, Robert. Memorial in Dundurn Chapel: "Sacred to the memory of William Stewart, Esquire, of Ardvorlich, eldest son of the late Major W.M. Stewart of the Bengal Army, Lieutenant in the Honourable East India Company's Bengal Artillery, and Captain Commandant of a battery in Scindiah's contingent, who was severely wounded in the execution of his duty at Gwalior on the night of the 14th of June 1857, by the mutinous Sepoys and by them murdered on the following morning, aged 30 years. Also to the memory of his wife, Jane Turnley, aged 27 years, youngest daughter of the late Hill Willson Esquire, Lieutenant in the Honourable East India Company's Bengal Engineers; and their son Robert Walter aged 2 years, who were killed on the night of the 14th idem, among the first victims of the Mutiny of Gwalior in the East Indies where the remains of both the parents and child lie interred. This tablet is erected by his widowed mother and her children." | Stewart, Capt. William 10th of Ardvorlich (I18109)
|
| 7311 | William was born posthumously, a month after his father died. His mother later remarried. In 1800, 1810 and 1820, William Brown was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA with his mother and step father, Archibald Smiley. In 1830, William was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with his wife and a son and daughter, both under 5 years old, presumably Stephen and Emeline. There is also an unidentified male 50-59 years of age residing with the family. As William's father was deceased, it seems likely it was his wife's father. William has not been found in the 1840 or 1850 census. In 1860, William, age 64, was residing in Hanover, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA in the Wilkes Barre postal district, with no wife and with his children, Sarah, Anderson, Hendrick, George, and Lewis. He was living two houses away from Henry Plumb, author of the 1885 History of Hanover Township. William probably died at the home of his son Hendrick in Nanticoke. The death certificate of his son Lewis C. Brown apparently states that William was born in Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA. This statement was given by Hendrick Brown when completing the death certificate for his brother Lewis C. Brown. The Plumb History of Hanover states that William was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania, USA. Perhaps both are correct, as Kingston is in the Wyoming Valley and was the center of population at the time that William was born. However, his daughter Sarah's death certificate indicates that William was born in Connecticut. This statement was given by her son Loren E Dunn, and is two generations removed so is less reliable. -------------------------------- Ruth Brown's family tree says the following: Alexander Brown came from Northern Ireland and settled in Reading, Penna. -- Brown, his son came to Wyoming Valley in 1786 -- Brown had four sons - George, Alexander, James, and William William Brown Born 1770 married Sarah Lewis born 1778, about 1794. Their Children: William Brown Jr: born June 1, 1797 Elizabeth, died in infancy Wm. Brown Sr. died May 1797 Sarah Lewis-Brown married Archibald Smiley in 1805.

| 7312 | William was justiciar of Scotland. | Montfichets, Sir William (I11018)
|
| 7313 | William was known as "the Bastard" and later as "the Conqueror". He was the only son of Duke Robert of Normandy and thus, although illegitimate, succeeded his father. He became Count of Maine by conquest in 1063 and defeated King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, where he claimed the English throne and founded Norman rule in England. | Normandy, William of (I11519)
|
| 7314 | William was recruited for service in WWI in 1916. His rank is not given on the Canadian Archives website. | Prangley, William James (I12739)
|
| 7315 | William worked as a crew chief lineman for Bell Telephone for most of his life. He was a Freemason and an avid bowler. William was a "very strict father" who had a strong say in who his daughters dated. He even governed their personal appearance. Once, when Winn wanted her "beautiful long hair cut short like the other girls", William humiliated her by taking her to a men's barbershop where she received a crew cut. His eldest daughters never married. In 1891 at age 18, he was residing in Hamilton with his parents and siblings and employed as a labourer. In 1901 he was residing on his own in Hamilton and employed as a telephone lineman. His youngest brother James was also employed as a telephone lineman at the same time. In 1911 he was residing in London and employed as a foreman in the accident insurance business. In 1921, he was residing in at 311 Warncliffe Road in London with his wife and three daughters. He was employed as a foreman in the telephone industry. He had converted to Anglicanism. | Brown, William John (I1868)
|
| 7316 | William worked in the shipyard in Belfast for the White Star Line and helped build the Titanic. He was supposed to sail on it as well, but Mormon missionaries talked him into a later sailing. He immigrated to Idaho, USA on the ship, Corsican, on 28 JUN 1913. William and Jennie were childhood friends who married young and were happy together. She was 3 months pregnant when they married. They had seven children, only three survived to adulthood. As a Mormon, William appears to have been a practicing bigamist. He was married to his first two wives at the same time. | Harten, William (I7630)
|
| 7317 | William's baptism is mis-transcribed in the IGI as "William Harther". | Horsley, William (I7785)
|
| 7318 | William's baptism was witnessed by William Stewart and William Young both in Doune. William is presumed not to be one of the three sons mentioned in Stewarts of the South as being a merchant in Glasgow, as he was likely too young at the time. | Stewart, William (I18046)
|
| 7319 | William's birth is recorded in the Balquhidder OPR as having taken place on 21 Dec 1738. His believed to have died in infancy prior to his parents' emigration to North Carolina, USA, in 1739, as he is not found in any later records. He is not mentioned in this father's family tree, dictated in 1769. | Stewart, William (I18025)
|
| 7320 | William's exact relationship to the family of Castlehill is uncertain. The list of provosts of Inverness shows a William Cuthbert holding that office during the years: 1569 - 1569, 1573 - 1574, 1577 - 1577, 1580 - 1580, 1585 - 1586 and 1602-1603. It is difficult to determine how many different William Cuthberts are included in these terms and how many were held by the same person on repeat occasions. It is likely that the latter term (1602-1602) was held by a different William than the earlier terms. The earlier terms could just as easily be one William Cuthbert as more than one. The latter William (if there is more than one) is cited in a Charter of Resignation dated 24 NOV 1602 (GD23/3/3) as "William Cuithbert, provost of Innernes" along with the other town bailies regarding local fishing rights. William could fit as a brother, father or uncle to John Cuthbert, 7th of Castlehill or multiple combinations thereof if there was more than one William. Note: The latter William preceded John Cuthbert 7th of Castlehill as Provost in 1602 so he must be older than John, however, John Cuthbert was created Baron prior to that in 1592 and thus must be more senior than William. (Unless the John Cuthbert, Baron, was not 7th of Castlehill, but an earlier and elderly baron, but that seems hard to reconcile.) There is nothing that shows John Cuthbert 7th as a son of George 6th. One possibility could be if William Provost was the younger brother of George 6th and father of John 7th, noting that John 7th's son and heir was William. | Cuthbert, William? (I3659)

|
| 7322 | William's father is not confirmed. His granddaughter, Nancy Elvira Furler (daughter of David Orren Furler) wrote in a letter about attending her cousin Ervin Furler's birthday on June 22. By our present accounting that would make Ervin a first cousin to Elvira's father, David, and it would make William Henry Furler the brother of Jonas Furler, Ervin's father. It's possible that William Henry and Jonas were not brothers, but instead were first cousins, but it is suggested that it is less likely that Nancy would be attending her father's second cousin's birthday party. Furthermore, in 1861 and 1871 William Furler and his suggested father, Cornelius Furler, were both residing nearby to each other in Gainsborough, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. Thus, in the absence of confirming or refuting evidence, the closer relationship is to be preferred for now. According to family tradition among Conrad Hosiah Furler's descendants, William and Mary had thirteen children including more than one set of twins, and one of the daughters was apparently committed to a mental institution. William and Mary's family Bible records their children as follows: 1. David Oron Furler, born 12 Mar 1851 (twin) 2. Margaret Furler, born 12 Mar 1851 (twin) 3. Joseph Henry Furler, born 8 Nov 1853 4. Mary Agnes Furler, born 27 Mar 1858 5. Conrad Hosiah Furler, born 27 Mar 1860 6. Harry (or Henry or Harvey) Elmer Furler, born 19 Dec 1862 7. Garner Emerson Furler, born 22 Dec 1866 8. James Alexander Furler, born 11 Mar 1867 9. Charles William Henry Furler, born 4 Jan 1869 (twin) 10. Charlot Ann Furler, born 4 Jan 1869 (twin) 11. Nancy Margaret Furler, born 2 Dec 1870 (Marilda Harriet Furler, born 1877 is missing from this record, presumably the Bible was not updated after 1870. The seven year gap would suggest that another child may have been born 1871-1876 who did not survive.) ========= Ont. Death Reg. William Furler, 28 MAR 1907, farmer, 5th concession, Wainfleet, Welland (believed to be the registration location, not his actual residence), married, place of birth: Ontario. On his son David's death registration, David's father's place of birth is recorded as "unknown", informant being David's son (William's grandson) Marcellus Furler, then crossed out with "Penna, USA" written in as a correction entered in 1932 by an unknown person (possibly initials SDL). Thus it would appear that by the time of William's grandson, knowledge of the family's origin was already lost, but by 1932 the erroneous legend of Pennsylvania Dutch origins had evolved. The myth that this family originated in Pennsylvania persisted until the end of the 20th century. -------- In 1861 William and his family were living in Gainsborough, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada where William was employed as a farm labourer for Elias Davis. In 1871 William is recorded as Furlow and is found living only a few farms away from Eli Furlow/Furler, further suggesting that they are brothers. He is also living next door to his in-laws Joseph and Mary Doughnee and their son Charles Joseph Doughnee. William's place of birth is given as "Ontario". | Furler, William Henry (I6286)
|
| 7323 | William's relationship to his father Samuel is not confirmed. Hardingstone parish records show a small number of persons surnamed Harrold who all fit chronologically well into one family. Census records show these suggested family members all residing nearby to each other. And the male heads of household are all employed as agricultural labourers. Thus it is suggested, but not confirmed, that William is probably a son of Samuel Harrold as shown here. In 1841 William was residing in "Centre of Village", Hardingstone, Northampton, England. He has not been found in 1851 or later. William is mentioned in the following court notice: Northampton Division Petty Sessions -- William Harrold of Hardingstone was allowed to settle with Thomas Partridge for an assualt committed on him on the 23d May last (1843) at Great Houghton. http://www.northants-familytree.net/1843.html | Harrold, William (I7646)

H., Feb. 12, 1733; came to Colrain with his father and resided on the old homestead, and was prominent and active in the affairs of the town, both in peace and war, serving as a soldier in the last struggle with the French and Indians, in 1755, 1 1S& an d 1757, under Capt. Israel Williams at Colrain and Charlemont. He was one of the Minute-men who marched on the Lexington Alarm in April, 1775, under Capt. Hugh McClellan; later served as Lieutenant in the militia. He was chosen selectman in 1769, 1779, 1781, 1783, 1784 and 1786, m. Elizabeth, b. 1738, dau. of Matthew Clark of Colrain who was killed by the Indians in 1746. In 1770 he with three others bought land lying in Bernardston Gore cc on a river called Green River/' and in 1771 was one of the signers of a petition to have the Gore annexed to Colrain. He sold his old homestead to William Nelson, and went to live with his son in the Gore. He died about 1804 and like his predecessor "rank growth and tangled grass alone crown the rough sod beneath which he sleeps," but Nature forgets not his resting place and scatters her sparkling jewels upon the spot, u and no more brilliant victories could be achieved than those which speak from those old graves, unmarked by human hands."

| 7326 | Winn, like her sister Merrill, never married the two sisters lived together for life. Winn was a strong leader. She was captain of the girls' basketball team in high school and was an executive in the insurance industry (personnel manager for London Life) years before it was socially acceptable for women to hold such positions. Winn was a strong caretaker who lived with, and looked after, her parents in their later life. She also lived with her younger sister Merrill for life. | Brown, Sarah Winnifred (I1869)

| 7330 | Winnipeg Free Press Obituary - BERT ANGUS (published on July 30, 2000) BERT ANGUS Peacefully, after a short illness on Thursday, July 27, 2000, Bert Angus passed away at the Concordia Hospital at the age of 71 years.

| 7349 | [James Stewart] had an only child, Ann, who married (in 1794) Edward Tonge. A news- paper published at Charleston, in its issue of Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1794, gave a brief announcement of the wedding of Edward Tonge, esq., of St.Paul's parish (Colleton) and Miss Ann Stewart of St.George's Dorchester. This would indicate that Ann's father resided, or had resided, in St.George's parish, Dorchester. And this suggests that he, very likely, belonged to the same family of Stewarts as the Duncan Stewart of St.George's Dorchester whose will, dated May 1, 1746, and probated July 5, 1748, named his brothers and sisters John of St. Paul's parish, who had sons James and John; Daniel; Alexander, Janet; Grizel; Elspeth; and Margaret, F: 174. The surname was spelled Stuart in the will. Edward Tonge, esq., was born Sep. 13, 1769, son of John & Susanna Tonge, and died Oct. 18, 1809, at his mansion house on Cane Acres in St.Paul's parish, as shown by a tombstone "Erected to his memory by his most affectionate wife Ann" in an old graveyard by the side of the road between Bacon's Bridge and Charleston. Ann was Edward's second wife, he having married when rather young Elizabeth Murray, who was born Oct. 25, 1772, in Charleston, and died July 15, 1788, in thar city, aged 15 years and 8 months, as stated on a stone erected by her husband in 1794. Ann's mother-in-law, Susanna Tonge, continued to reside at Cane Acres until her death Aug. 18, 1828, at the age of 86 years. Ann had no children by Edward, and awhile after his death in 1809 she married a man named Gist and went to live in Union County, S. C. There Mr. Gist died, and some time afterward she died, childless. In her possession was a big bible which had belonged to her father, James Stewart, and placed within it was the family lineage running back to King Robert II of Scotland which her grandfather, Patrick Stewart, had had his son Charles write out from "uncontroverted history." A brother of Ann's second husband, upon request, sent "this ancient paper" to Morgan Brown, who married Elizabeth Little, born Nov. 24, 1765, daughter of William and Catherine (Stewart) Little. Elizabeth Little was a cousin to Ann. (Edson, George. Stewart Clan Magazine, Vol. 34, Tome G, No. 8, Feb. 1957.) | Stewart, Ann (I14552)
