    JR Ernest Miller May 1993?/i?
    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.

    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.

    [Col. 7, Pg. 2; The Perth Courier, Friday, 1 Oct 1869; Vol. XXXVI,No. 1]

    It appears that no stone was erected for Andrew but the inscription for Cathrine and John their son clearly indicates the relationship.

    Andrew married Catherine Munro about 1825 in Lanark Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Catherine (daughter of Peter Munro and Mary McNab) was born on 27 Jul 1803 in Argyll and Bute, Scotland; was christened on 4 Sep 1803 in Paisley, High Parish, Renfrewshire, Scotland; died on 12 Aug 1858 in Bathurst Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Old Burying Ground / Pioneer Cemetery, Craig Street, Perth, Ontario, Canada.

    Notes:

    In 1825, Andrew Miller, a farmer, from Bathurst Con 3, married Catherine Munro of Dalhousie. She was the oldest daughter of Peter Munro and Mary McNab who came to Canada in 1820 and settled on Dalhousie Con 1 Lot 10. Marriage records have not been located but it is believed that they may have been married by Dr. Gemmill, the first minister to serve the Dalhousie settlers on a regular basis. His records have never been located. In 1835, the Munro family moved to the 3rd Concession of Bathurst, close to where the Miller family had settled.
