    Ev Miller's notes:
    My Grandma, Mary Ann, was a very strong woman both physically and mentally. I've always understood that she was a real pioneer, helped Grandpa build the two story log house which still stands and is lived in . She was a midwife and nurse to many of the neighbours, grew a most bountiful garden, loved to read books, and could do all kinds of handiwork, knitting, crocheting, etc.

    (Research):Check Census 1881 to see if she worked for Samuel Bolton.

    Marriage Certificate indicates possibly 1859.

    Notes:

    Dad's database had Mary Ann. Mom's notes, based on Grandma's notes indicate 'Elizabeth' Gillespie, from near Brockville, ON. It also indicates that they were married in Caleraine, Ireland and later lived in Pennsylvania where Grandma's Grandmother had a large dry goods store. It was thought they were United Empire Loyalists. Her Grandfather had been in the American War, and subsequently was in poor health and died at age 49 of lung trouble.

    Land & Property:
    Sgt. John Ashley (Ashby) received an initial location ticket for all of Lot 24 in Concession 2, Front of Yonge Township, Leeds County. This property is slightly to the north west of the village of Mallorytown. An investigation of this property reveals that it was all swamp land draining into Jones Creek which flows through the southern end of the property. Early maps indicate much more open water on the creek than visible on today's GIS maps suggesting that the water table has changed, but today this area remains undeveloped. Farmland in the township begins in concession 3.
    A second location ticket was granted for Lot 19 SW in Concession 10 of Bathurst township of Lanark County, then part of the Bathurst District. This remote property was located on the shores of the Bolton Creek as it flows out of Bennett Lake. It is also directly west of the village of Fallbrook

    Land & Property-Witness:
    Role: Witness
    Sgt. John Ashley (Ashby) received an initial location ticket for all of Lot 24 in Concession 2, Front of Yonge Township, Leeds County. This property is slightly to the north west of the village of Mallorytown. An investigation of this property reveals that it was all swamp land draining into Jones Creek which flows through the southern end of the property. Early maps indicate much more open water on the creek than visible on today's GIS maps suggesting that the water table has changed, but today this area remains undeveloped. Farmland in the township begins in concession 3.
    A second location ticket was granted for Lot 19 SW in Concession 10 of Bathurst township of Lanark County, then part of the Bathurst District. This remote property was located on the shores of the Bolton Creek as it flows out of Bennett Lake. It is also directly west of the village of Fallbrook
