Theron Beach Thrall born Gouverneur, NY, May 18,1808 & Caroline Howard born E’town April 22, 1821 marr before or in 1840.   My great grandmother Sarah Louise Thrall , their youngest child, was born in Mallorytown Jun 5,1857. Congregational Parsonage.  In 1857 Gazetter Theron Thrall, Mallorytown, was Leeds Bailiff. In 1861 Census, the Thrall family was living in Escott. Can find nothing more about Theron Thrall until his obituaries in May 1895 Brockville Recorder. Would appreciate any help in learning anything more, especially where to find their marriage record and Sarah's birth record.

* 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.)
