Notes - Marriage record indicates Lydia's age at her wedding as being twenty-something, but the second digit is illegible. It indicates she is from Chenguacousy Township, but the handwriting is hard to read on that name, and no such place is known to this author. I believe it should be Nassagaweya Township, in nearby Halton County. A secondary source record has since been found indicating that Lydia was living in Nassagaweya at the time of her marriage, but that she was born in Coburg, Hamilton Township, Northumberland County.
Lydia's birth family records their name (still today) as Sammons, not Simmons. However all Stewart records for her indicate it as Simmons or Simons.
