• Notes

  Mary Stewart was born in 1827 in the village of Doune, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, as the oldest child of Duncan Stewart and Margaret Gillespie. She had an older half-brother, William Hutton, from her mother's previous relationship. About 1834, when Mary was about 7 years old, her family immigrated to Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, along with her Gillespie grandparents' extended family. In 1844, Mary's half-brother, William Hutton, died. On 5 Nov 1847, at age 19, Mary Stewart married in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, to Thomas Dunn. A few months later, in 1848, when Mary was 20 years old, her parents died, leaving her younger siblings orphaned. In 1851, at age 24, Mary Dunn was residing in Puslinch Div. 2 (east of Brock Road), Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with her children Mary A Dunn (2) and Margaret A Dunn (4). Also residing with them were or orphaned sisters, Margaret Stewart (16) and Elizabeth Stewart (12). Also residing with them was James Evans (23), a labourer working on their farm, who later married Mary's sister, Elizabeth. Her husband Thomas Dunn was residing with his parents elsewhere in Puslinch on the day of the census, presumeably working on their farm. In 1861, at age 35, Mary Dunn was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with her husband and children. Also residing with them was her brother, Hugh Stewart, his wife, and their young son, Duncan Stewart.
