* More info on Simon Peter McIntosh from Washington
County Historical and Genealogical Society:
Simon
McIntosh
came in 1869 by train, taking a claim out two and a half miles southeast of what
is now Palmer, where Herb and Opal Ohlde now live. Simon and his brother, Daniel,
took adjoining claims. In order to proved their claims they built a cabin
over the dividing line so that each could eat and sleep on his own claim, het
share the same fire and each other’s company. Simon
was born in Prescott, Ontario, Canada, and worked as a seaman on the St.
Lawrence River while a young man. Around 1865 he went to California where
he worked in the plaza gold mines. He came to Kansas on the first
scheduled passenger train to run after the famous gold spike was driven May 10,
1869 (the first United States transcontinental railroad). Simon
received his land grant from Concordia in May, 1870, spending $14.75 on it. He
proved his claim in 1875. In 1871 he married Nancy Jane Wharton.
This was the first marriage in Sherman Township. After their marriage they
lived in a log house until 1884, when a new house was built.

Working on mother's fam hist on her father's
side. His forbears were from Lanark County. Need to determine if the
Huttons or the Andrews were simply American immigrants in the late 1700's or
whether they were loyalists. Job Andrews (1744-1818) born in Dighton Bristol County MA & bur in
Wolford twsp. His son Elkanah Andrews (1781 - 1855) born in Oswego New York & died in
Montague Twsp. He & his wife Elizabeth Hutton bur in Van Dusen cemetary. On the Hutton side,
it appears that Elizabeth's father immig from Scotland. William
Hutton born Sept 1730; don't have his date or
place of death. His son John Hutton (1764-1801) born in Paisley Scotland, died in Wolford Twsp
He apparently drowned shortly after arriving in Canada.
On another website
I found the following information about the Hutton family:
William Hutton, born 25 September 1730 in Methven,
Perthshire, Scotland, was a shoemaker in Glasgow when he married Jean (Jane)
Corbet, born about 1734 in Renfrew, Renfrewshire, the daughter of William Corbet,
Excise Officer, on 27 April 1757 at Abbey Parish, Paisley, Scotland. They lived
in the Paisley area, having children Margaret, Agnes (Nancy), Jean (d.y.), John,
Jean (Jane), Hannah, William, Ann, Peter and Marah. In 1773 William Hutton
bought land with two others in Washington County, New York. In 1774 after the
two others dropped out, he took most of his household to New York, leaving
behind daughter Jean who with husband Alexander Corbet rejoined the family in
1788. It was an insular community bounded on the east by Lake Champlain and the
west by high granite cliffs. The community and township of Putnam was
predominately Scottish, including the families of James Burnet, George Easton,
Elizabeth Hope, Agnes Russell and William Shiell, all of whose families
intermarried several times. Probably because of the influence of his wife and
brother-in-law, William Hutton was a Tory who spent the better part of the
Revolutionary War under house arrest at Albany and at Fort Ann, and his son John
went to Canada after the War and received a land claim as a Loyalist. The daughters of William Hutton did not like the "Red
Coats" and at one point chased several soldiers into the Lake in front of
their house. At the end of the war Margaret Hutton married George Easton, an
American soldier (my ancestors).

Have
found a lot LESS information about the Andrews family & how they moved from
the Boston area, (John Andrews was an early
settler in Boston from ca 1650's) then to New York & then to
Montague area. Trying to find a complete listing of
Elkannah's children in order to firmly establish
that one of his sons was Joseph Hutton Andrews - born Jan 12, 1826 - died in Watford ON April
1900 (I think it is obvious that he was the son of this Andrews due to his
middle name being "Hutton") but haven't seen it clearly in the census
records.
There was also a Hezekiah
Andrews who I believe had two sons Rufus & Silas who ran a mill in a place
called "Andrewsville" which is now a ghost town near Merrickville.
Was Hezekiah a bro of Elkanah's? Know that Hezekiah was bur in North Gower ON in 1859.
Thank you for any assistance
Cynthia L. Mackenzie (grdaug of Clifford Benson Andrews,
son of Joseph Benson Andrews, son
of Joseph Hutton Andrews, etc. etc.)

Looking for War of 1812 proofs.
The names Private Jacob
Carns, & Private Christian
Carns appear on the 1st Flank, Dundas Militia
lists for 1812 & 1813.
Jacob Carns had two sons, Jacob Jr., & Christian;
believe that Jacob Jr. born in
Matilda circa 1797, is 3rd grgrandfath.
Jacob Carns Sr.,
born in 1747, so 65 at the time of 1812.
Jacob Jr. would be
ca 15 in 1812; so, which Jacob Carns is the one on the Muster Roll..........Need more Militia info,
to add to data on the Jacob Carns Jr., listed on Militia Rolls ( Source: website
that lists extracts from Gray's "Soldiers of the King.") & that I
think is grandparent; Have inventory dated
June 22nd, 1797 that lists an Elizabeth Carns recommended for 200 acres, a
Jacob Carns "praying to have his Military lands completed" -
recommended for 300 acres "including former grants", & a Jacob
Carns Jr., "praying for land as a Loyalist - recommended for 200 acres.
(Source: Elgin County Archives) How
young one can be to apply - date on this sheet is 1797, the same year Jacob Jr.,
is listed as being born?
