    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
