    Notes:

    Elizabeth Mason Miller died on 27 January 1850 after giving birth to twin sons who were born and baptised on 9 January 1950. She ws the daughter of Robert Mason and Helen Gourlay who had immigrated to Canda at the same time as the Miller family.

    Andrew Burns Miller was raised by his uncle George Miller in Bathurst Township, Canada West (Lanark County, Ontario, Canada). John Mason Miller was raised by his aunt Janet (Mrs. Robert Boyle) and went to Australia with them in the 1860's. John Mason Miller travelled to Ipswich Reserve, Australia with the Boyle family on the Golden City, arriving on 5 February 1866. The Boyle family settled on the Ipswich Agricultural Reserve in the Fassifern Valley near Brisbane Queensland. John Mason Miller was 16 years of age when he arrived in Queensland.

    In the 1851 Canada West census ?b?John Mason Miller?/b? is listed twice, once in the household of his father Thomas Miller and secondly in the household of Robert Hendry Boyle.

    In 1851 his father, ?b?Thomas Miller?/b?, is 42, member of the Church of Scotland, who is a farmer and lives in a log house. John Mason's siblings are listed as William 18, Robert 16, George 15, Mary 11, Thomas 9, Helen 7, Robertson 6, David 4, and Andrew 2. Margaret Mason, a sister of his mother, age 23, is also listed and has probably assumed the 'mother' role in the household. It is unknown who cared for John Mason during his infancy. Janet, his aunt would have only been eight years older than his father, Thomas, and would have grown up in the same neighbourhood and probably forged a close relationship. Her youngest child Mungo, was six years old so it is not probable that she was able to nurse John Mason as an infant. If he joined her household shortly after birth as the census may indicate, a wet nurse may have been engaged or a sop* used.

    Meanwhile (1851), in the Boyle household you have Robert Boyle, age 57, member of the Free Church, a farmer who also lives in a log house. His wife Jannet is a sister of William, father of Thomas, and aged 48. The family members are slightly older; Catherine 26, Mary 24, William 21, John 18, Robert 17, David 15, James 12 and Mungo 10. John Mason is listed as age 3, indicating that the census was taken later in the year.

    In 1861, aged 12, John is again listed as a member of this household.

    Meanwhile, Andrew Burns Miller is only listed with his father, Thomas Miller's household in 1851. In 1861 Andrew Burns Miller, age 11, is found in the household of George Miller. Other members of the household are George Miller 47, his wife (Helen) Ellen 45, Jane 18, Mary 16, Robert 14, Jennet 12, Margaret 10, William 7, Catherine 5, George 3. Again, it is not known who would have cared for him as an infant unless a wet nurse was engaged or Margaret Mason was able to successful feed him with a sop.

    Thomas Miller remarried in 1852. He and his new wife Ann Wilson Donaldson, b circa 1812, had three children, James b. 1853, Jennett b. 1856, and Agnes b. 1860. They appear as part of Thomas Miller's household in 1861 along with children from his first marriage. It appears that the twins, have both been 'adopted' within the extended family shortly after birth or at least by the time that Thomas remarried.

    (Research):Mary, Mungo and John Mason Miller are the only family members mentioned in John's letters in 1870 to his twin brother Andrew Burns Miller.

    Another neighbour ?b?James Mui?/b?r is also a shoemaker and may be the son of the shoemaker noted in Robert Mason's diary.

    #28 ?b?Robert and Janet Boyle?/b? may have operated a stopping place (1 story log house) as their property was located on the edge of Lanark village at the point where the road branches, travelling west towards Watson's Corners and north towards Hopetown. This junction would be important for access to timber shanties located further west and north.

    Thomas Miller would have been 12 years of age when William Miller and Mary Burns left Dumbarton to settle in Lanark Co.

    On 23 March 1833 he married Elizabeth Mason at Lanark. Elizabeth was the 2nd daughter of Robert Mason and Helen Gourlie who settled in 1820 on C2 L9 Lanark twp. Robert Mason was the first school master in Lanark Village, a weaver by trade and a strict Presbyterian
    .
    Their first child, William, may have been born at Lanark, as he is recorded as being baptised at St. Andrew's, Lanark.

    Thomas and Elizabeth moved to Bathurst, with his brother, and settled on L9 Con 3 where their family grew to number ten. This property was purchased from John Munro, the eldest son of Peter Munro. and was later known as the Alex Stewart farm, front part of West half of ?b?Lot 6 C 3 Bathurst ?/b?(approximately 50 acres). The deed from John Gray is dated 3 November 1854, registered 17 Dec 1855 to John Munro, and sold 22 September 1860 to Thomas Miller for $1200, double the price John Munro paid in 1854. This property adjoined the 63 acre farm on which Peter Munro Sr. lived after moving from Dalhousie Twp.


    Elizabeth died on 27 January 1850 after giving birth to twin sons. Andrew Burns Miller was raised by his uncle George Miller. John Mason Miller was raised by his aunt Janet (Mrs. Robert Boyle) and went to Australia with them in the 1860's.
    Many members of this family went west and settled in North Dakota and Minnesota USA. My heartfelt thanks go to Clarice Bachman, wife of William Miller Stefon, of Chehalis, Washington for her tremendous effort in collecting data on this branch of the family and for the five days we spent proof reading and correcting printouts.

    Chapter 23
    WEST ALBANY TOWNSHIP
    Pages 777-787

    From the book about Wabasha Co. Minnesota
    "HISTORY OF WABASHA COUNTY"
    Compiled by Dr. L. H. Bunnell
    Published Chicago by H. H. Hill, Publishers, 1884
    Republished Currently by Higginson Books

    In the spring of 1857, Lawrence Tracy, of Irish nativity, who had previously settled in what is now Oakwood, moved to West Albany. In the same year came Sylvester and William Applegarth, of Canada; Henry Schmuser, of Holstien; Wm. Funk, and some others. In 1858 began the establishment of the Scotch settlement in the northeastern part of the township. In this year came George and William Wilson, William Duffus, Henry Glashen, Geo. And William Perry, Charles Forest, Alexander Thoirs, William Sterling, David Munro, and William Corry; these have since been followed by many others from Scotland and Racine county, Wisconsin, some also from Canada. Many of these came here poor, but all are now successful farmers, and the Scotch settlement will be found a Christian, hospitable community where peace and prosperity reigns.

    Thus we see the early establishment of three nationalities in this township, German, Irish and Scotch, and to these three the population still mainly belongs, but very few being of American descent.
