Notes - John Chew was a baker. He married first to Mary Hibbert. She died during the birth of their first child, John Chew. Five months later John (Sr) married secondly to Ann "Nanny" Walker. John died in 1809 in England. John's estate at his time of death was valued at less than 100 pounds.
Sometime after John's death his widow and children immigrated to Canada. It is believed they came first to New York around 1815 (John's daughter Sarah was married in New York in 1815) and then later on to Toronto around 1818, settling initially on the Humber River in Weston, Ontario. They are confirmed in Weston by 1819. John's sons John and Samuel were pioneer settlers in Weston -- John was a miller and Samuel was a distiller. John's widow Nanny and daughter Sarah later moved to Kent County with Sarah's husband, William Taylor, where they founded the village of Dawn Mills.
Weston was initially named Farr's Mills. It is now part of Metropolitan Toronto area, in the borough of Etobicoke, near the intersections of highways 400 & 401.
The proposed birth family for John Chew is probable, but not confirmed.
