    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.

    Birth:
    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.
