James Baird came from Glasgow but was originally from Perthshire Scotland. He appears to have sailed with seven children but without his wife, Janet King. She appears to be buried with him at Hopetown so possibly she remained behind and joinde him in 1821. Some women, pregnant or with a sick child, did this." The Lanark Society Settlers, Carol Bennett

Died:
William Hood was the son of James Hood (#51456319)and his first wife Elizabeth Jones. James Hood is buried at Creemore Cemetery, Simcoe County, Ontario.

William's mother, Elizabeth Jones, died when William was a young child, and so his father eventually remarried. William left from Greenock, Scotland with his family on July 4, 1820 and sailed on the Prompt for Canada. It has been said that he met his future wife, Martha Park, on board this ship and that theirs was a shipboard romance, but there is no documentation to support that Martha came to Canada at the same time.

That first winter at Dalhousie Township, the school teacher hired and brought over by the name of George Richmond, died when a tree fell on him. He was the first death in the Dalhousie settlement ("The Lanark Society Settlers" by Carol Bennett p. 16). This is probably the teaching position that William Hood took over. It has been said that William had had two years of college before emigrating to Canada. The school house was located at an intersection called Hood's Corner. The school is still standing today, but is a private residence. The Common School Report for 1827 (From the Journal of Assembly of Upper Canada - 1928) shows that William Hood was one of six teachers in Dalhousie Township. William Hood had 12 boys and 10 girls in his classroom.

The soil in Dalhousie Township was quite rocky, causing many of the original emigrants, and many of the first generation children, to relocate to western Ontario where the soil was better. William and Martha did not leave, probably because William had his teaching pay (whatever he could collect in money or other things such as food) besides his farm to supplement his income.

On the Canadian 1871 Census, William and Martha are age 71 and are living with their son John and his family. John and his family are still living in Lanark County, Ontario at this time.

William married Martha Park. Martha (daughter of James Park, I and Marrion Allen) was born in 1799 in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland; was christened on 31 Jan 1799 in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland; died on 21 Jan 1880 in Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Saint Andrew's Cemetery, Watson's Corner, Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.
