    Notes:

    (Research):I am descended from Janet Lyle and John Miller's son David Miller. His daughter, Agnes, is my great-grandmother. I don't know anything about the Main family other than what you know.

    I visited Janet Lyle's place of birth last year. Ironmacannie Mill is exactly that, a grain mill with a miller's cottage at the side, in Balmaclellan Parish, Kirkudbright, Scotland. Her father was obviously the miller on the estate. I don't know where he came from, but I do know Janet's mother, Margaret Halliday, was a local girl.

    Many Scots migrated to the US, Canada, and Australia in the early 1800s due to the enclosure acts in Britain. Our relatives migrated to Dalhousie Township in Lanark County, Ontario where many Scots immigrated in 1821.

    John and Janet moved in 1836 to Lot 4, Concession 3, Sarnia Township, Lambton County, Ontario in 1836. John bought 50 acres from the local landowner Malcolm Cameron. He was the first to clear the land of the forest and later built a log house and stable on the plot. In 1855, they moved again when he bought 100 acres at Lot 4, Concession 4, Sarnia Township. Again, he had to clear the land of the virgin forest (but now he was 52 years old).

    John died of heart disease in 1884. I don't know where he was buried. I know where Janet is buried, though. She is buried in the Irwin Cemetery. It is a tiny, country cemetery near the corner of Confederation Road and Brigden Sideroad in Sarnia. Her headstone spells her name as Jenet.

    Sincerely,
    Living van Hoogenhuize

    1861 Census, Sarnia Township, (Lambton Cty) in Huron County, Microfilm #C1041

    Plympton
    Plympton is the most northern of the center tier of Lambton County townships and is bounded on the north by a portion of Bosanquet and on the north west by Lake Huron.

    ?i?From a Lambton web site??/i?
    It is the second largest township in the county, having 76080 acres. The settlement of Plympton dates back from 1833 in which year a large number of immigrants located along the Egremont Road in the 5th and 6th ,Concessions. They came out from Europe under the patronage of Lord Egremont. There was also a settlement at Camlachie the same year. The land there was settled in 1833 by old country men and?b? in 1835 and 36 a considerable number of Scotch settlers came to the southern part of the township from Lanark county. ?/b?When the settlement was effected along the lake there was no way of communicating with Sarnia, then a straggling hamlet containing only one store, except by boats on the lake.

    ?i?A History of Lambton Cty, Jean Turnbull Elford, Sarnia, 1967. (my summary)?/i?
    In 1835, 27 year old Malcolm Cameron persuded Scottish settlers to follow him from Lanark and Perth, (Lanark Cty) when he bought the property that was to become downtown Sarnia. He provided land for their Presbyterian Church, employed them in his grist mill, took potash in exchange for goods at his store corner of Lochiel and Front St. The settlers cut square oak timbers he sold to Glasgow shipyards, manufactured staves he shipped to Jamaica for rum barrels, built and sailed vessels on the lakes. Through use of political influence he was responsible for the building of a road from London to Sarnia direct.

    ?u?1816 - 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards?/u?
    The 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards was a British army cavalry regiment, officially formed in January 1686 as Shrewsbury's Regiment of Horse. Following a number of name changes, it became the 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1804.

    During the War of the Spanish Succession, the unit was commanded by William Cadogan, close aide to the Duke of Marlborough. It was engaged in many of Marlborough's battles and sieges, including Blenheim, Ramillies and Malplaquet; after the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, it resumed garrison duties in Ireland, where it spent most of the next 80 years.[7]

    Le Marchant's charge at Salamanca, July 1812; 5th dragoons right foreground
    Renamed Second Irish Horse in 1746, it then became 5th Regiment of Dragoon Guards in 1788.[2] On the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Warsin 1793, it was posted to Flanders where it fought at the April 1794 Battle of Beaumont.[6] The unit returned to Ireland and helped suppress the 1798 Irish Rebellion, including the battles of Arklow, Vinegar Hill and Ballinamuck.[5] In 1804, it was retitled 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards after Princess Charlotte, later simplified to 5th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) Dragoon Guards.[2]

    Posted to Spain in 1810, it was part of Le Marchant's brigade during the Peninsular campaign. The Battle of Salamanca in July 1812 is considered one of Wellington's greatest victories and Le Marchant's attack as the 'single most destructive charge made by a brigade of cavalry in the whole Napoleonic period.
