• Notes

  There was an Archibald McCallum in Puslinch of unknown origin. He married a sister of William McCormickand had a son, Alexander who married Margaret Stewart, daughter of William Stewart and moved to Michigan. It's not known if they were related. William is found in 1842, listed as William Callum, residing on Queen Street, Barton District, Gore (Hamilton City), Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, in a residence owned by a landlord named Patrick? Alexander. William was employed as a carpenter. Two listings away in a residence owned by the same landlord (possibly a multi-apartment dwelling) was John Stewart, also a carpenter, believed to be William's brother-in-law. Recorded as being absent from the household in 1851 are two adult males. These are believed to be sons of William's from a previous marriage as he was quite old for this to be his first marriage. Their daughter Elizabeth's marriage, above, was witness by a David McCallum. David is presumed to be a son from William's first marriage. Further research is underway to confirm this theory. In 1901, Elizabeth's daughter, Minnie Catherine Stewart was living with a Joseph H. McCallum (presumably a maternal cousin), born 11 OCT 1852 in rural Ontario, a Presbyterian and a druggist. In 1881, Joseph H. McCollum, age 29, is found in Milton, Halton, Ontario living with his wife Elizabeth, age 28, and their four month old daughter Jessie W. His occupation is listed as "D...".
