    Thomas and his wife left Canada and located first near the town of Wabasha, MN where he engaged in farming. Some years later he moved to North Dakota where he lived the remainder of his life.
    Farmer, living at Grafton ND in 1915.

    Peter Munro (1934) remembers Thomas Munro as a very entertaining old gentleman who enjoyed smoking his pipe and discussing events of by-gone years. On his farm in North Dakota was an artesian well, quite close to the house. This well was a source of much interest to the writer who had never seen a well of this nature before.

    John Munro was the eldest son of Peter Munro. He lived on what 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, and sold 22 September 1860 to Thomas Miller for $1200, double the price he paid in 1854. His property adjoined the 63 acre farm on which Peter Munro Sr. lived after moving from Dalhousie Twp.

    In 1860, John Munro (at age 56) moved, with 3 daughters, to Bruce Cty, ON to continue farming. It appears that an older brother, Neil, had moved to Bruce County in 1856 with his family, coming directly from Argyleshire, Scotland.

    Shortly after the Am. Civil War (1861-64) he moved again, with his remaining sons (Thomas, John,William) to Minnesota, where Peter already resided, and continued to farm. Descendants (1934) were living in Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota.

    John Munro returned to Paisley ON, in Bruce Co in later years. He died, age 71, at the home of his daughter Rose Ann in Underwood, ON and the body was returned to Perth with by sons-in-law George McKay and Thomas Hopper for burial.

    In the 1841 Census he is located on Bathurst C3 L7W and arrived from Scotland in 1820, Presbyterian, two born in Scotland and 5 born in Canada.

    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.

    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.

    WEST ALBANY TOWNSHIP

    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.
