49002	William Hood was the son of James Hood (#51456319)and his first wife Elizabeth Jones. James Hood is buried at Creemore Cemetery, Simcoe County, Ontario. William's mother, Elizabeth Jones, died when William was a young child, and so his father eventually remarried. William left from Greenock, Scotland with his family on July 4, 1820 and sailed on the Prompt for Canada. It has been said that he met his future wife, Martha Park, on board this ship and that theirs was a shipboard romance, but there is no documentation to support that Martha came to Canada at the same time. That first winter at Dalhousie Township, the school teacher hired and brought over by the name of George Richmond, died when a tree fell on him. He was the first death in the Dalhousie settlement ("The Lanark Society Settlers" by Carol Bennett p. 16). This is probably the teaching position that William Hood took over. It has been said that William had had two years of college before emigrating to Canada. The school house was located at an intersection called Hood's Corner. The school is still standing today, but is a private residence. The Common School Report for 1827 (From the Journal of Assembly of Upper Canada - 1928) shows that William Hood was one of six teachers in Dalhousie Township. William Hood had 12 boys and 10 girls in his classroom. The soil in Dalhousie Township was quite rocky, causing many of the original emigrants, and many of the first generation children, to relocate to western Ontario where the soil was better. William and Martha did not leave, probably because William had his teaching pay (whatever he could collect in money or other things such as food) besides his farm to supplement his income. On the Canadian 1871 Census, William and Martha are age 71 and are living with their son John and his family. John and his family are still living in Lanark County, Ontario at this time.

49039	William was single when he emigrated.	Baird, William (I27962)
49040	William was the second son of Peter McLaren and Sophia Elizabeth Lees. He received his early education at Trinity College, Port Hope, Ontario. From there he traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland with his brother James to be educated at a boy's secondary school. Upon his return to Perth as a young man, William became the owner and operator of a mica mine located at the northwest end of Otty Lake, in Burgess township. This mine was widely known as simply "McLaren's Mine," and was the basis of operations for William and eventually, his wife Anna Gemmill. At the peak of operations at the mine, whose mica was used extensively for insulation of electrical motors, generators and home appliances, fifty men were employed, all of whom boarded and ate at the mine. During a ten year period and due to his intense involvement with his mine, William took courses from the International Correspondence School of Mining and Engineering, with headquarters at Scranton, Pennsylvania. His studies further accentuated his fascination with historical artifacts, an attraction that had its beginning in his boyhood. While he was a young boy, William spent his summers in and around the Perth area, including a cottage located on the Rideau Lakes. At this time (the late 19th century), there were many old Indian relics lying on the surface of the ground. Fascinated by these relics and artifacts, William began a journal (in the possession of the Perth Museum, along with the bulk of his collections) and recorded meticulously every artifact that he found. Many of them are accompanied by his own hand-drawn facsimiles of the artifacts. The journal represents an invaluable record of Indian artifacts that were found in the Perth area. William's fascination with these artifacts, the material shards of a culture, did not end with his boyhood. His interest, if possible, grew as he aged, and he became involved in the study of the migratory patterns of different tribes, probably in order to determine more exactly the origins of his own artifacts, and to put his collection into some kind of overall perspective. When William died in 1932, he left behind not only warm and cherished memories in those people who knew and loved him personally, but also a priceless collection of Indian artifacts, a physical reminder of the culture of a people who inhabited this country centuries before any organized settlement. His collection is a very representative and superlative one, surely a reflection of the man himself.	McLaren, William Lees (I13428)

49042	William was the son of James Brown and Margaret Park. William never married and is buried at Avonbank Cemetery. William took over the family farm in 1877 and worked it with his brother Andrew. Andrew's son, James Edward (1883-1969) bought the farm after his uncle's death. Between 1935-1970, at the back of the farm there was a maple syrup making tradition of tapping over 400 trees. OBITUARY WILLIAM BROWN, October 15, 1914 There died in Motherwell on the evening of Monday October 12, MR. WILLIAM BROWN in his 75th year. Deceased was born in Dalhousie, Lanark County. When he was about 5 years of age his parents came to Western Ot. And ___from the Canada Co. Here in Motherwell on which farm deceased has lived for almost 70 years. His death was not unexpected. He had been in failing health for almost 2 years but he did not consider his illness serious until a few months ago. Mr. Brown was one of the early pioneers of whom but a few remain who by their labors and sacrifice have given to us who follow a rich heritage We reap what they have so sparingly sown. Mr. Brown was never married, a man quiet and unasssuming, of splendid intelligence, thrift and industry, yet withal something of a recluse. He will long be remembered in the neighourhood where practically the whole life was spent and where he was familiarly and endearingly known to kinsmen and friends alike as "Uncle Bill." His remains were laid to rest on Wed. in Avonbank Cemetery- six of his nephews acting as pallbearers.	Brown, William (I19865)
49043	William was the son of James Umpherston and Mary Drummond. Eventually, one line of this family dropped the "t" and became Umpherson.	Umpherston, William (I29876)
49044	William's name appears on the Crown deed, saying that the farm was taken for him in the name of his son Walter. (William would have neen too old to have been eligible for land on his own.) However, they do not appear in the settlement records or in the list of people who travelled on he ship David. The explanation for this is probably that the parents followed in 1822, after Walter had become esgablished. This is a pattern which occurs throughout the settlement. Mary Brown is believed to have been a sister of Janet Brown, wife of James Dick of the Hopetown Bathgate society. A James Gardner family settled near to Walter and William Garner in 1821.	Gardner, William (I19757)

William Hood was the son of James Hood (#51456319)and his first wife Elizabeth Jones. James Hood is buried at Creemore Cemetery, Simcoe County, Ontario.

William's mother, Elizabeth Jones, died when William was a young child, and so his father eventually remarried. William left from Greenock, Scotland with his family on July 4, 1820 and sailed on the Prompt for Canada. It has been said that he met his future wife, Martha Park, on board this ship and that theirs was a shipboard romance, but there is no documentation to support that Martha came to Canada at the same time.

That first winter at Dalhousie Township, the school teacher hired and brought over by the name of George Richmond, died when a tree fell on him. He was the first death in the Dalhousie settlement ("The Lanark Society Settlers" by Carol Bennett p. 16). This is probably the teaching position that William Hood took over. It has been said that William had had two years of college before emigrating to Canada. The school house was located at an intersection called Hood's Corner. The school is still standing today, but is a private residence. The Common School Report for 1827 (From the Journal of Assembly of Upper Canada - 1928) shows that William Hood was one of six teachers in Dalhousie Township. William Hood had 12 boys and 10 girls in his classroom.

The soil in Dalhousie Township was quite rocky, causing many of the original emigrants, and many of the first generation children, to relocate to western Ontario where the soil was better. William and Martha did not leave, probably because William had his teaching pay (whatever he could collect in money or other things such as food) besides his farm to supplement his income.

On the Canadian 1871 Census, William and Martha are age 71 and are living with their son John and his family. John and his family are still living in Lanark County, Ontario at this time.

William was the second son of Peter McLaren and Sophia Elizabeth Lees. He received his early education at Trinity College, Port Hope, Ontario. From there he traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland with his brother James to be educated at a boy's secondary school. Upon his return to Perth as a young man, William became the owner and operator of a mica mine located at the northwest end of Otty Lake, in Burgess township. This mine was widely known as simply "McLaren's Mine," and was the basis of operations for William and eventually, his wife Anna Gemmill. At the peak of operations at the mine, whose mica was used extensively for insulation of electrical motors, generators and home appliances, fifty men were employed, all of whom boarded and ate at the mine.
During a ten year period and due to his intense involvement with his mine, William took courses from the International Correspondence School of Mining and Engineering, with headquarters at Scranton, Pennsylvania. His studies further accentuated his fascination with historical artifacts, an attraction that had its beginning in his boyhood.
While he was a young boy, William spent his summers in and around the Perth area, including a cottage located on the Rideau Lakes. At this time (the late 19th century), there were many old Indian relics lying on the surface of the ground. Fascinated by these relics and artifacts, William began a journal (in the possession of the Perth Museum, along with the bulk of his collections) and recorded meticulously every artifact that he found. Many of them are accompanied by his own hand-drawn facsimiles of the artifacts. The journal represents an invaluable record of Indian artifacts that were found in the Perth area.
William's fascination with these artifacts, the material shards of a culture, did not end with his boyhood. His interest, if possible, grew as he aged, and he became involved in the study of the migratory patterns of different tribes, probably in order to determine more exactly the origins of his own artifacts, and to put his collection into some kind of overall perspective.
When William died in 1932, he left behind not only warm and cherished memories in those people who knew and loved him personally, but also a priceless collection of Indian artifacts, a physical reminder of the culture of a people who inhabited this country centuries before any organized settlement. His collection is a very representative and superlative one, surely a reflection of the man himself.

OBITUARY

WILLIAM BROWN, October 15, 1914

There died in Motherwell on the evening of Monday October 12, MR. WILLIAM BROWN in his 75th year. Deceased was born in Dalhousie, Lanark County. When he was about 5 years of age his parents came to Western Ot. And ___from the Canada Co. Here in Motherwell on which farm deceased has lived for almost 70 years. His death was not unexpected. He had been in failing health for almost 2 years but he did not consider his illness serious until a few months ago.

Mr. Brown was one of the early pioneers of whom but a few remain who by their labors and sacrifice have given to us who follow a rich heritage We reap what they have so sparingly sown. Mr. Brown was never married, a man quiet and unasssuming, of splendid intelligence, thrift and industry, yet withal something of a recluse. He will long be remembered in the neighourhood where practically the whole life was spent and where he was familiarly and endearingly known to kinsmen and friends alike as "Uncle Bill."

His remains were laid to rest on Wed. in Avonbank Cemetery- six of his nephews acting as pallbearers.

William was the son of James Umpherston and Mary Drummond. Eventually, one line of this family dropped the "t" and became Umpherson.

William's name appears on the Crown deed, saying that the farm was taken for him in the name of his son Walter. (William would have neen too old to have been eligible for land on his own.) However, they do not appear in the settlement records or in the list of people who travelled on he ship David. The explanation for this is probably that the parents followed in 1822, after Walter had become esgablished. This is a pattern which occurs throughout the settlement. Mary Brown is believed to have been a sister of Janet Brown, wife of James Dick of the Hopetown Bathgate society.

A James Gardner family settled near to Walter and William Garner in 1821.
