501	(Research):?i?[barber dodds marilyns.FTW] ?/i? William was a dealer in farm implements and automobiles in Vesta. He also farmed in Vesta from 1899 to 1902. He and his father both were interested in public affairs and he served for two years as a member of the town Council. The family attended the United Brethren Church of which they were members. The following is taken from "The History of Redwood County....1916: "William J. Barber, a dealer in farm implements and automobiles at Vesta, was born in Vesta Township, February 6, 1877, son of Thomas D. And Adelaide (Garry) Barber. The father was born in Canada and came to the U. S. in 1862 securing a homestead in the southwest quarter of Section 6, Vesta Township. There he lived until 1904, when he came to Vesta and subsequently resided here until his death in 1913, when he was 64 years old. He served as township clerk for eighteen years. His wife Adelaide, now in her 57th year, makes her home in Redwood Falls. William J. farmed in Vesta Township from 1899-1902, after which he was engaged in the hardware and implement business in Vesta for four years. He then went into his present business, that of dealing in farm implements and automobiles. He handles the Ford cars...(for a time lived in Lucan as a car dealer). Like his father, interested in public affairs, he has served as village recorderer for three years and for two years as a member of the council. Mr Barber was united in marriage October 24, 1899, to Rosa Becker, who was born February 5, 1881, a daughter of Herman and Amelia Becker. Her father, a native of Germany and a pioneer in Minnesota , is now a retired blacksmith and wagonmaker of Echo, Mn.

514	(Research):?i?[barberhistorymuriels.FTW]?/i? George (Roy) was a grain buyer and worked for Bingham Bros., a Line Company in Vesta. At the time, he lived in a boarding house in Vesta as did others. After his marriage to Flossie, they lived in the east end of town. In 1928 or 1929, the Farmer's Elevator (Vesta) bought out the Line Co., and Roy, Flossie and their boys moved to Redwood Falls.	Crooks, George LeRoy "Roy" (I11950)
515	(Research):?i?[barberhistorymuriels.FTW]?/i? Peter was born August 3, 1892 on the farm in the NE 1/4 of Section 12. In 1910 his folks moved to Vesta, (after Will was married) and he lived with them as well as Agnes and Sadie and perhaps Burt. Pete worked about three years in the Bendix-Dickson General Store in Vesta. This was approximately 1910 through 1913. He told of some experiences working for Frank Bendix. The flour came in large barrels and the clerks would put a small amount in bags. Although it was one brand of flour, some of the customers were very particular about the quality purchased. One lady in particular always requested a certain brand - - but no matter what kind the customer asked for, it all came out of the same barrel. Probably some of the "better brands" cost a little more than the others! In later years Pete didn't want his wife, Hilda, to use the colored sugars (on Christmas cookies, for example). Many women bought them - - whether it was just the colored sugars he disliked or the customers themselves, he didn't elaborate, but no doubt it was the customers. There were some hard times those years and many customers would charge their groceries and other items until they could pay. Of course, some of them never were able to take care of their bill and others simply took advantage of Frank's kind heart. At the beginning of the week he would instruct his clerks not to give credit to those customers whose accounts were in arrears. Of course, before the week was out, some of these customers were back wanting to charge their supplies. When the clerk refused to do so, the customer would often go "right to the top" and ask Frank to charge the items. Being a compassionate person - and unable to say "no", he would give permission to extend more credit. At one time Pete worked in Northern Minnesota in the St. Vincent area doing farm work for Qustin Griffith. When he was up there a friend told him about the meetings that the "holy Rollers" conducted during the summer months and said he would take Pete when the meetings were in session. When the Holy Rollers came, put up a tent and started their meetings, Pete asked about going. "No" said his buddy, "We'll wait a few days until they get warmed up abit". Later Pete again mentioned going to the meeting - - he was most anxious to see just what went on. But his friend insisted they wait a few more days so as to give the Holy Rollers more time to get into the spirit of it all! Finally, his friend told him, "Tonight we'll go to the meeting". It was a hot night, very crowded, so they had to sit way up in front. The congregation was really "warmed Up" - many were praying out loud - some were singing - general confusion reigned. Suddenly, the woman sitting next to Pete threw her arms up almost hitting him and started shouting/and or talking - - it was difficult to tell which. About then, Pete noticed his friend was no longer sitting beside him and looking around, spied his buddy standing in the doorway of the tent, laughing and enjoying Pete's discomfort. Although Pete didn't want to leave (probably thinking it poor maners), he too made his way to the door. No doubt that was the first and only time he attended the Holy Rollers meeting. He also "tanked" for Charley Johnson during the thrashing season keeping the tank filled with water. The machine was fired with coal and in order for the motor to run, the tank had to be filled with water so as to create the steam necessary for the motor. Pete worked at the Youman Lumber Co. in Marshall, MN., a year or two - - from there he entered the service in 1918. He was first sent to Cincinnati, Ohio and then sent to Camp Jackson in South Carolina which was located near Charleston. He had the rank of Ord. Sergeant and served his Army time in the USA. After Pete's discharge from the Army in April 1919 he came by train to Marshall, NM. and got a ride to Vesta. Thinking to suprise his folks, he didn't let them know he was coming. Since it was a warm spring evening, they were sitting out on the front porch. When Pete was about a block from home, he happened to clear his throat. Immeciately his mother said, "Pete's home". Apparently, he had a distinctive "throat clearing" sound! During the next two years Pete worked at various places - - his leisure time was spent with friends - there were picnics - family dinners etc. Of the various jobs he had, the grocery business was his favorite. At on time Pete seriously considered going back to that and giving up the farming. His son, Wayne, was much relieved when Pete decided to stick with the farm, which was Wayne's preference. Following is some information concerning the farm where Pete and Hilda lived for thirty years - - the Northeast quarter of Section 11 in Underwood Township. It is taken from the abstract of deed, one of the earliest dated documents concerning the above tract of land in May 9, 1871 when W. W. Curtis, Acting Comissioner of U.S. General Land Office certified that the tract of land was a true description which was on file in his office . This land together with a portion of land in Section 9 were said to be granted to the state of Minnesota by Acts of Congress approved March 3, 1865 and July 13, 1866. Peter Marvin was born at the farm where his parents were living. Both Peter and Hilda are buried in Crestlawn Cemetery in Redwood Falls, MN. In September 1952, Pete and Hilda purchased a home at 111 West Wyoming in Redwood Falls, MN., living there ten years. April 1962 they bought a home at 402- 2nd Street.	Barber, Peter Marvin (I1705)
516	(Research):?i?[barberhistorymuriels.FTW]?/i? Ruth Sunde was divorced from Myron many years. She was involved with the Self Realization Fellolwship Lake Temple in Pacific Palisades. Her body was handled by McNerneys Mortuary, San Pedro.	Craig, Ruth B. (I12041)
517	(Research):?i?[barberhistorymuriels.FTW]?/i? Stanley, known as "Bub", was a barber by trade and had a shop in Vesta on main street for several years. Through the years, Bub was known for having a part in many a practical joke. Of course Halloween was a time when Bub and his friends were responsible for a few of them. On particular "morning after" Bub was walking uptown to his shop and had a good laugh at some of the things that had taken place during the night--- that is, until he noticed his shop where the barber chair and other items were sitting on top of the shop! At a later time, he and his family moved to Minneapolis where he continued working as a barber until his retirement. He is buried in the Crystal Lake Cemetery in Minneapolis,MN.	Barber, Stanley John (I1690)
518	(Research):?i?[barberhistorymuriels.FTW]?/i? Ruby Johnson's sister Alice J., married to Russell McGregor. After Raymond's death in 1918, Ruby married Alex Bisson. Apparently, they lived in Canada..she died September 22, 1964 and is buried at Chamberlin, Sask. ?i?[barber dodds marilyns.FTW]?/i? Ruby had a brother, Charlie, who lived in Vesta. His daughter was Violet, who was married to Gus Kacker.	Johnson, Ruby Anna (I9393)
519	(Research):?i?[Totalfile.FTW]?/i? Ken was born in Vesta Township, Redwood County, Minnesota. The birth certificate was filed with the district court in the County of Redwood at Redwood Falls, Minnesota.	Barber, Kenneth Alexander (I12089)
520	(Research):?u??b?John Miller or John Millers? ?/u??/b? ?b?Conclusion: ?/b?John Miller with a wife and six children settled on Lanark Township C2 L22 and not Dalhousie C2 L22. This is unlikely 'my' John Miller as he was born in 1789 and unlikely to have married before 1809, and although possible, unlikely to have travelled with six children. ?b? Lanark Township C2 L22?/b? In 1820 John Miller receives this grant of 100 acres 24?sup?th?/sup? July 1821. Charles Rankin listed him as indebted to the British government in October 1829. In 1834, John Miller is identified as the settler associated with this lot which is described as stony and swampy. It is noted that he has two sons in western Ontario. In 1838 John Miller states that he was located many years ago on this lot and it was barren and request permission to relinquish and select 100 acres of land elsewhere. John Miller does not appear on this land in 1842, nor could he be found on land in the townships in the study area (Lanark, Dalhousie, Bathurst, Burgess). John Miller did not receive the patent to this land. ?b?Dalhousie Township C2 L22?/b? In the same document as noted for Dalhousie C2 L21, John Miller is located on C2 L22, 100 acres on 24 July 1821. A second John Miller is noted as settling on C3 L21E on 25 July 1821. In some documents, the settlement of Dalhousie C2 L22 has been associated with John Miller, North Albion Society, arrived on the ship Commerce in 1821. He was accompanied by a wife and six children, 2 males over twelve years, one female over twelve years, one male under twelve years, two females under twelve years. However, it is more likely those who associated John Miller with wife and six children locate on Lanark Concession 2 Lot 22 are correct. William Graham, head of this group did not sail, and John Miller led this group which included three families. Two other members of group, Peter Baxter, located on Lanark C3 Lot 13, and John Parker located on Lanark C4 L4. C. Bennett also makes note that 'J. Miller has two sons in Western Ontario' which also appears in the notes about Lanark C2 L22 above which suggests confusion as to the township associated with this land allocation. John Miller did not receive the patent for this property. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ?b? Dalhousie Township C3 L21 E?/b? John Miller arrived in 1821, a member of the Cambuslang Society, on the George Canning with three children, 2 sons under twelve, 1 daughter under twelve. (other Miller family members on this ship but in the Glasgow Canadian Society). The ship sailed on 14 Apr 1821 and arrived at Quebec on 2 Jun 1821. The settlers proceeded to Montreal aboard the Lady Sherbrooke. John Miller settled on lot C3L21E, 100 acres, on 25 July 1821, the same day as his father and brothers. He can be matched to settler #495 in the Location Report of Settlers. These records indicate it was Concession 3 Lot 21 E not concession 2. Baptismal and Marriage Records of Presbyterian Churches in Dalhousie and Lanark Townships, Lanark County, Ontario, J.R. Ernest Miller and Robert E. Sargeant. 1989. John Miller's son, John Miller was baptised on 24 May 1833. His wife is named as Jannet Lyle. In 1834 Col. Marshall notes that the lot is vacant and 'Miller gone thirteen years, no information'. The lot is hilly and rocky. John Miller did not receive the patent for this property. ?b?Dalhousie C2 L21?/b? No record of this lot being assigned in 1821. He may have moved to this lot after the settlement year but no records to support this was found. Col Marshall associates John Miller with this land in 1834. He describes this lot as half the lot is middling, the remainder is indifferent, timber maple, elm, beech, hemlock, basswood on ridge, cedar & tamarack in swamp. Will Purchase ?2 per acre. Two miles to mill. Unimproved value ?0. 3. John Miller did not obtain the patent to this property. ?u??b??i? ?/i?-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------?/u??/b?

521	(Research):?u??b?The Pooles in Ireland: From Herb Norry:?/u??/b? c1709, prior to 1715, the Pooles arrived in Wexford. ?b?John?/b? and ?b?Jacob Poole?/b? were heads of households in Gorey, Wexford. In 1720, ?b?John, Jacob ?/b?and?b? William?/b? (probably a son of John or Jacob) were heads of households in Gorey, Wexford. Around 1750, some Pooles moved from Gorey, Wexford to Old Ross. Both were Palentine settlements. ?b?John Pool?/b? of Old Ross had a lease dated 14 Sep 1787 for 7 acres, 2 roods and 8 perches for the duration of the lives of the lessee (age 70 : b.1717), his wife (aged 60: b.1727) and their son ?b?William?/b? (aged 30: b.1750). A note in 1818 is: Town Park, John Pool's part is for the life of the lessee, aged 70, Anne, his wife aged 60 and their son, aged 30 who is the only life of any value. The Pooles appear to have been good farmers and may have arrived in Ireland with assets because they bought land: ?b?Matthew?/b? in 1750 ?b?John?/b? in 1758 ?b?Matthew?/b? and ?b?John?/b? in 1761 ?b?Rich(ard?)?/b? in 1761 ?b?Matthew?/b? and?b?

A kerfuffle over his estate. ?b?Mary Miller?/b?, his wife, refused administration on his estate. ?b?Jane Ebbot?/b? petitioned for re-payment of loans totaling over $1000 - in 1885 - dating back to 1855. The notes were in her name then: ?b?Jane M. Wilson?/b?. She says that she is the sister of William's wife, Mary Miller. A great grandson petitioned in 1948 because his grandfather had been named in the will "Miller W. Moore" and his name was really "William M. Moore" There is diagram of the homestead there too. I do not have the diagram. I think Robert Urquhart's 4 great grand daughter may as a guess. Then, Mary Miller Moore died in 1898 and her parents were named as ?b?William Miller and Margaret Burns?/b?. So, now we know that William Miller 1786 went to the United States in 1836, was in Racine in 1844, that he had, at least, children?b? Margaret Mary, Jane, and John ?/b?with him. Jane married one husband Joseph Wilson along the way, and Mary married William V. Moore either Dec. 25 1844 or Jan. 31st 1845 - both records exist. Unfortunately, nothing further about the whereabouts of William and Margaret after the 1850 census of Wisconsin. William Miller 1786 & Mary Margaret Burns your 4 great grandparents either died before 1860 or moved on. Notice Diane that there is a darn gone David Miller listed as well! ********* William appears as head of household in Racine Wisconsin in 1855 Census. This census does not show names of household. ?u??b? ?/b??i?JR Ernest Miller 18 May 1993?/u??/i? Wm. Miller & Mary or Margaret Burns were married at Kilmarnock Scotland on 13 June 1807. The baptismal records of their children in Scotland use one of those two christian names but never the two at one time. We have not checked her birth records to verify which is correct or whether it should be Mary Margaret Burns. It is rumoured that she is a sister of Robbie Burns the poet but never verified. In 1821, William Miller took his family to Greenock where they embarked for Canada settling in Lanark twp on Con 1 Lot 15 opposite his brother Andrew who had drawn a similar lot in Dalhousie twp. Burial records have never been located but the 1834 report on the condition of the 1820-21 Scottish settlers to Lanark and Dalhousie twps states that widow Miller is alone on L15 C1 Lanark and that the rest of the family has moved to Bathurst twp. In his diaries Robert Mason recorded that Mrs. William Miller died 13 Dec 1839. As three of his daughters were married to Miller husbands we have assumed that this was Mary Margaret Burns. To make a positive identification more difficult there were no less than four William Millers in Dalhousie and Lanark twps in 1834. A William Miller left L14 C2 Dalhousie in 1839 and moved to Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., New York State. Efforts to identify this man have failed to date. Janet, Margaret Ann & Mary, daughters of William and Mary Margaret Miller have not been identified in our research although earlier family history had indicated possible marriages to a Brownlee and a Robinson. ?u??i?Carol Bennett: The Lanark Society Settlers, 1991.?/u??/i? pg. 105 reflects the confusion of William Millers at the time. She has Andrew Miller as a son rather than a brother. Again on pg 106 there is confusion of generations. One of the William Millers was a member of the ?b?Glasgow Canadian Society. ?/b?Signatures of James, Andrew and William are posted on page 103. Walter Black was head of this emigration society.

I find that one of the William Millers from Scotland, was a bachelor, and had arrived on the Commerce on June 1820 and was not located until 22 March 1821 on Lanark C7 L12W. Furthermore I discover that he was not sent out by Government but was received by authority of Commander, 22 January, 1821. A Hugh Miller, 1821 settled in Ramsay Township C10 L18 on 25 Jul 1821. He was of interest, not as a Miller but as an ancestor of Beatrice Miller Duncan who married into my husband's Duncan family. Another document was In this report we find that William Miller, 1820,?b? ?/b?purchased?b? ?/b?Lanark C2 Lot 13W from Wm.

A grandson of William and Elizabeth has ?i?Brown?/i? as a second name on a marriage record. It is also noted that John Blair sold Dalhousie C5 L6W to William Miller. At this point I go back to the record of births and baptism I have already gathered. I know that William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour, are the parents of Robert, b. 3 Nov 1784, William, b. 19 Sep 1786, John, born 7 Jun 1789, and Jean b. 3 Aug 1791, all in Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire, Scotland.

539	(Research):?u?Notes from interview with Grandpa (John Cumming) Mather. ?/u?Grandma (Bella) had a grade 3 education. When she was 12 she was babysitting for income. Her older sister, Elizabeth Ruth, a twin of Bob, died of black diptheria. Two others in the family also died of Diptheria. They lived on the Jack Anderson place (Mary Scott's Grandparents?) on the edge of Fallbrook, ON. They were Baptists (Lanark Congregation). They are buried in the Playfairville cemetery, attended St. Peter's Anglican Church and the Methodist Church later. ?u?Telephone call with Gordon Mather December 2015 ?/u?About 1916 Grandma had a head injury from a hay fork. For the following year they lived with the Mather family on the Cameron farm near Balderson. Her limp was the result of brain damage arising from this accident. In the early 1930's Grandma suffered from blackouts when she would not recognize the children, Gordon and Evelyn(age 9-10). These blackouts led to a month or more in a Kingston hospital for treatment of the head injury. After she passed away, Grandpa was surprised to learn that she still had money invested from her seamstress/tailor days and there was considerable income tax to pay on the amount. She had used war bonds and later government bonds to accumulate this money. Grandma had three years of schooling obtained after a 2 mile walk to the nearest school. As the oldest girl in the family she left school to care for younger children. At approx age of 12 she was hired as a mother's helper by another family - a Mrs. Anderson in Falbrook. At approximately age 14 she moved to Perth where she apprenticed with Mrs. Lyons to gain her sewing skills. She worked for a number of families along the Scotch Line near Perth where she moved from household to household with her sewing machine and equipment/supplies. The Poole family was one of these families. She made clothing for men, women and children. She would piece quilts during the summer and in the winter she would set up a quilt frame in the parlour. She frequently used her 'rag bag' for fabric for these quilts so it is probable that the woolen fabric in the quilts I remember were scraps from her days as a seamstress.

William was a dealer in farm implements and automobiles in Vesta. He also farmed in Vesta from 1899 to 1902. He and his father both were interested in public affairs and he served for two years as a member of the town Council. The family attended the United Brethren Church of which they were members.

The following is taken from "The History of Redwood County....1916: "William J. Barber, a dealer in farm implements and automobiles at Vesta, was born in Vesta Township, February 6, 1877, son of Thomas D. And Adelaide (Garry) Barber.

The father was born in Canada and came to the U. S. in 1862 securing a homestead in the southwest quarter of Section 6, Vesta Township. There he lived until 1904, when he came to Vesta and subsequently resided here until his death in 1913, when he was 64 years old. He served as township clerk for eighteen years. His wife Adelaide, now in her 57th year, makes her home in Redwood Falls.

William J. farmed in Vesta Township from 1899-1902, after which he was engaged in the hardware and implement business in Vesta for four years. He then went into his present business, that of dealing in farm implements and automobiles. He handles the Ford cars...(for a time lived in Lucan as a car dealer). Like his father, interested in public affairs, he has served as village recorderer for three years and for two years as a member of the council.

Mr Barber was united in marriage October 24, 1899, to Rosa Becker, who was born February 5, 1881,

Peter was born August 3, 1892 on the farm in the NE 1/4 of Section 12. In 1910 his folks moved to Vesta, (after Will was married) and he lived with them as well as Agnes and Sadie and perhaps Burt. Pete worked about three years in the Bendix-Dickson General Store in Vesta. This was approximately 1910 through 1913. He told of some experiences working for Frank Bendix. The flour came in large barrels and the clerks would put a small amount in bags. Although it was one brand of flour, some of the customers were very particular about the quality purchased. One lady in particular always requested a certain brand - - but no matter what kind the customer asked for, it all came out of the same barrel. Probably some of the "better brands" cost a little more than the others!
In later years Pete didn't want his wife, Hilda, to use the colored sugars (on Christmas cookies, for example). Many women bought them - - whether it was just the colored sugars he disliked or the customers themselves, he didn't elaborate, but no doubt it was the customers. There were some hard times those years and many customers would charge their groceries and other items until they could pay. Of course, some of them never were able to take care of their bill and others simply took advantage of Frank's kind heart. At the beginning of the week he would instruct his clerks not to give credit to those customers whose accounts were in arrears. Of course, before the week was out, some of these customers were back wanting to charge their supplies. When the clerk refused to do so, the customer would often go "right to the top" and ask Frank to charge the items. Being a compassionate person - and unable to say "no", he would give permission to extend more credit.
At one time Pete worked in Northern Minnesota in the St. Vincent area doing farm work for Qustin Griffith. When he was up there a friend told him about the meetings that the "holy Rollers" conducted during the summer months and said he would take Pete when the meetings were in session. When the Holy Rollers came, put up a tent and started their meetings, Pete asked about going. "No" said his buddy, "We'll wait a few days until they get warmed up abit". Later Pete again mentioned going to the meeting - - he was most anxious to see just what went on. But his friend insisted they wait a few more days so as to give the Holy Rollers more time to get into the spirit of it all! Finally, his friend told him, "Tonight we'll go to the meeting". It was a hot night, very crowded, so they had to sit way up in front. The congregation was really "warmed Up" - many were praying out loud - some were singing - general confusion reigned. Suddenly, the woman sitting next to Pete threw her arms up almost hitting him and started shouting/and or talking - - it was difficult to tell which. About then, Pete noticed his friend was no longer sitting beside him and looking around, spied his buddy standing in the doorway of the tent, laughing and enjoying Pete's discomfort. Although Pete didn't want to leave (probably thinking it poor maners), he too made his way to the door. No doubt that was the first and only time he attended the Holy Rollers meeting.
He also "tanked" for Charley Johnson during the thrashing season keeping the tank filled with water. The machine was fired with coal and in order for the motor to run, the tank had to be filled with water so as to create the steam necessary for the motor. Pete worked at the Youman
Lumber Co. in Marshall, MN., a year or two - - from there he entered the service in 1918. He was first sent to Cincinnati, Ohio and then sent to Camp Jackson in South Carolina which was located near Charleston. He had the rank of Ord. Sergeant and served his Army time in the USA. After Pete's discharge from the Army in April 1919 he came by train to Marshall, NM. and got a ride to Vesta. Thinking to suprise his folks, he didn't let them know he was coming. Since it was a warm spring evening, they were sitting out on the front porch. When Pete was about a block from home, he happened to clear his throat. Immeciately his mother said, "Pete's home". Apparently, he had a distinctive "throat clearing" sound! During the next two years Pete worked at various places - - his leisure time was spent with friends - there were picnics - family dinners etc.
Of the various jobs he had, the grocery business was his favorite. At on time Pete seriously considered going back to that and giving up the farming. His son, Wayne, was much relieved when Pete decided to stick with the farm, which was Wayne's preference.

Following is some information concerning the farm where Pete and Hilda lived for thirty years - - the Northeast quarter of Section 11 in Underwood Township. It is taken from the abstract of deed, one of the earliest dated documents concerning the above tract of land in May 9, 1871 when W. W. Curtis, Acting Comissioner of U.S. General Land Office certified that the tract of land was a true description which was on file in his office .
This land together with a portion of land in Section 9 were said to be granted to the state of Minnesota by Acts of Congress approved March 3, 1865 and July 13, 1866.
Peter Marvin was born at the farm where his parents were living. Both Peter and Hilda are buried in Crestlawn Cemetery in Redwood Falls, MN. In September 1952, Pete and Hilda purchased a home at 111 West Wyoming in Redwood Falls, MN., living there ten years. April 1962 they bought a home at 402- 2nd Street.

Stanley, known as "Bub", was a barber by trade and had a shop in Vesta on main street for several years. Through the years, Bub was known for having a part in many a practical joke. Of course Halloween was a time when Bub and his friends were responsible for a few of them. On particular "morning after" Bub was walking uptown to his shop and had a good laugh at some of the things that had taken place during the night--- that is, until he noticed his shop where the barber chair and other items were sitting on top of the shop!
At a later time, he and his family moved to Minneapolis where he continued working as a barber until his retirement.
He is buried in the Crystal Lake Cemetery in Minneapolis,MN.

?b?Conclusion:
?/b?John Miller with a wife and six children settled on Lanark Township C2 L22 and not Dalhousie C2 L22. This is unlikely 'my' John Miller as he was born in 1789 and unlikely to have married before 1809, and although possible, unlikely to have travelled with six children.
?b?
Lanark Township C2 L22?/b?
In 1820 John Miller receives this grant of 100 acres 24?sup?th?/sup? July 1821.
Charles Rankin listed him as indebted to the British government in October 1829.
In 1834, John Miller is identified as the settler associated with this lot which is described as stony and swampy. It is noted that he has two sons in western Ontario.
In 1838 John Miller states that he was located many years ago on this lot and it was barren and request permission to relinquish and select 100 acres of land elsewhere.
John Miller does not appear on this land in 1842, nor could he be found on land in the townships in the study area (Lanark, Dalhousie, Bathurst, Burgess).
John Miller did not receive the patent to this land.

?b?Dalhousie Township C2 L22?/b?
In the same document as noted for Dalhousie C2 L21*, John Miller is located on C2 L22, 100 acres on 24 July 1821. A second John Miller is noted as settling on C3 L21E on 25 July 1821.
In some documents, the settlement of Dalhousie C2 L22 has been associated with John Miller, North Albion Society, arrived on the ship Commerce in 1821. He was accompanied by a wife and six children, 2 males over twelve years, one female over twelve years, one male under twelve years, two females under twelve years. However, it is more likely those who associated John Miller with wife and six children locate on Lanark Concession 2 Lot 22 are correct. William Graham, head of this group did not sail, and John Miller led this group which included three families. Two other members of group, Peter Baxter, located on Lanark C3 Lot 13, and John Parker located on Lanark C4 L4.
C. Bennett also makes note that 'J. Miller has two sons in Western Ontario' which also appears in the notes about Lanark C2 L22 above which suggests confusion as to the township associated with this land allocation.
John Miller did not receive the patent for this property.

Dalhousie Township C3 L21 E?/b?

John Miller arrived in 1821, a member of the Cambuslang Society, on the George Canning with three children, 2 sons under twelve, 1 daughter under twelve. (other Miller family members on this ship but in the Glasgow Canadian Society). The ship sailed on 14 Apr 1821 and arrived at Quebec on 2 Jun 1821. The settlers proceeded to Montreal aboard the Lady Sherbrooke.
John Miller settled on lot C3L21E, 100 acres, on 25 July 1821, the same day as his father and brothers. He can be matched to settler #495 in the Location Report of Settlers. These records indicate it was Concession 3 Lot 21 E not concession 2.
Baptismal and Marriage Records of Presbyterian Churches in Dalhousie and Lanark Townships, Lanark County, Ontario, J.R. Ernest Miller and Robert E. Sargeant. 1989.
John Miller's son, John Miller was baptised on 24 May 1833. His wife is named as Jannet Lyle.

In 1834 Col. Marshall notes that the lot is vacant and 'Miller gone thirteen years, no information'. The lot is hilly and rocky.

John Miller did not receive the patent for this property.
?b?Dalhousie C2 L21?/b?
No record of this lot being assigned in 1821*. He may have moved to this lot after the settlement year but no records to support this was found.
Col Marshall associates John Miller with this land in 1834. He describes this lot as half the lot is middling, the remainder is indifferent, timber maple, elm, beech, hemlock, basswood on ridge, cedar & tamarack in swamp. Will Purchase ?2 per acre. Two miles to mill. Unimproved value ?0. 3.
John Miller did not obtain the patent to this property.

c1709, prior to 1715, the Pooles arrived in Wexford. ?b?John?/b? and ?b?Jacob Poole?/b? were heads of households in Gorey, Wexford.
In 1720, ?b?John, Jacob ?/b?and?b? William?/b? (probably a son of John or Jacob) were heads of households in Gorey, Wexford.
Around 1750, some Pooles moved from Gorey, Wexford to Old Ross. Both were Palentine settlements.
?b?John Pool?/b? of Old Ross had a lease dated 14 Sep 1787 for 7 acres, 2 roods and 8 perches for the duration of the lives of the lessee (age 70 : b.1717), his wife (aged 60: b.1727) and their son ?b?William?/b? (aged 30: b.1750).
A note in 1818 is:
Town Park, John Pool's part is for the life of the lessee, aged 70, Anne, his wife aged 60 and their son, aged 30 who is the only life of any value.
The Pooles appear to have been good farmers and may have arrived in Ireland with assets because they bought land:

?/u?William Miller?/b? (1762) arrived Brig George Canning 1821, Dumbartonshire and located on W L15 Con 1 Lanark Township after first drawing Lot 24 Con 2. He was accompanied by his wife and William Miller (1786)'s siblings. He later moved to Bathurst.

?u??i?William Miller & Family in Wisconsin from Charles McFadden?/u??/i?
William V. Moore , Wisconsin Probate. A kerfuffle over his estate. ?b?Mary Miller?/b?, his wife, refused administration on his estate. ?b?Jane Ebbot?/b? petitioned for re-payment of loans totaling over $1000 - in 1885 - dating back to 1855. The notes were in her name then: ?b?Jane M. Wilson?/b?. She says that she is the sister of William's wife, Mary Miller. A great grandson petitioned in 1948 because his grandfather had been named in the will "Miller W. Moore" and his name was really "William M. Moore" There is diagram of the homestead there too.

I do not have the diagram. I think Robert Urquhart's 4 great grand daughter may as a guess.

Then, Mary Miller Moore died in 1898 and her parents were named as ?b?William Miller and Margaret Burns?/b?.

So, now we know that William Miller 1786 went to the United States in 1836, was in Racine in 1844, that he had, at least, children?b? Margaret Mary, Jane, and John ?/b?with him. Jane married one husband Joseph Wilson along the way, and Mary married William V. Moore either Dec. 25 1844 or Jan. 31st 1845 - both records exist. Unfortunately, nothing further about the whereabouts of William and Margaret after the 1850 census of Wisconsin. William Miller 1786 & Mary Margaret Burns your 4 great grandparents either died before 1860 or moved on.

Notice Diane that there is a darn gone David Miller listed as well!

William appears as head of household in Racine Wisconsin in 1855 Census. This census does not show names of household.

?/b??i?JR Ernest Miller 18 May 1993?/u??/i?
Wm. Miller & Mary or Margaret Burns were married at Kilmarnock Scotland on 13 June 1807.
The baptismal records of their children in Scotland use one of those two christian names but never the two at one time. We have not checked her birth records to verify which is correct or whether it should be Mary Margaret Burns. It is rumoured that she is a sister of Robbie Burns the poet but never verified.
In 1821, William Miller took his family to Greenock where they embarked for Canada settling in Lanark twp on Con 1 Lot 15 opposite his brother Andrew who had drawn a similar lot in Dalhousie twp.
Burial records have never been located but the 1834 report on the condition of the 1820-21 Scottish settlers to Lanark and Dalhousie twps states that widow Miller is alone on L15 C1 Lanark and that the rest of the family has moved to Bathurst twp. In his diaries Robert Mason recorded that Mrs. William Miller died 13 Dec 1839. As three of his daughters were married to Miller husbands we have assumed that this was Mary Margaret Burns.
To make a positive identification more difficult there were no less than four William Millers in Dalhousie and Lanark twps in 1834. A William Miller left L14 C2 Dalhousie in 1839 and moved to Hammond, St. Lawrence Co., New York State. Efforts to identify this man have failed to date.
Janet, Margaret Ann & Mary, daughters of William and Mary Margaret Miller have not been identified in our research although earlier family history had indicated possible marriages to a Brownlee and a Robinson.

?u??i?Carol Bennett: The Lanark Society Settlers, 1991.?/u??/i?
pg. 105 reflects the confusion of William Millers at the time. She has Andrew Miller as a son rather than a brother. Again on pg 106 there is confusion of generations.
One of the William Millers was a member of the ?b?Glasgow Canadian Society. ?/b?Signatures of James, Andrew and William are posted on page 103. Walter Black was head of this emigration society. This group arrived in 1821 on the ship George Canning.?b?

?b?notes from William [6] for reference?/b?
As part of the ?i?Glasgow Sr. Wrights was ?/i?Andrew Blair (4 people). As part of the ?i?Lanarkshire Society?/i? James Gilmour (6 persons), William Miller (1 person) and William Gilmour (1 person) sailed on Earl of Buckinghamshire, Johnston Master, departing Greenock on 29 Apr 1821 to sail to Quebec.
Among the 1821 arrivals is Robert Mason on Lanark C2 Lot 9W, Alexander Brownlee on Dalhousie C12 L11W, and John Miller on Lanark C2 L22W.?b?
?/b?on the same ship, Cannnington as part of the ?i?Cambuslang Society?/i?, there was a John Miller (4 people) and a William Gourley (5 people).

I find that one of the William Millers from Scotland, was a bachelor, and had arrived on the Commerce on June 1820 and was not located until 22 March 1821 on Lanark C7 L12W. Furthermore I discover that he was not sent out by Government but was received by authority of Commander, 22 January, 1821. A Hugh Miller, 1821 settled in Ramsay Township C10 L18 on 25 Jul 1821. He was of interest, not as a Miller but as an ancestor of Beatrice Miller Duncan who married into my husband's Duncan family.

Another document was In this report we find that William Miller, 1820,?b? ?/b?purchased?b? ?/b?Lanark C2 Lot 13W from Wm. Brown who now owns a tavern in Perth and that William Miller is located on Dalhousie C2 Lot 14E. It seems there is a 'Brown' connection yet to be discovered in the family. A grandson of William and Elizabeth has ?i?Brown?/i? as a second name on a marriage record. It is also noted that John Blair sold Dalhousie C5 L6W to William Miller. At this point I go back to the record of births and baptism I have already gathered. I know that William Miller and Elizabeth Gilmour, are the parents of Robert, b. 3 Nov 1784, William, b. 19 Sep 1786, John, born 7 Jun 1789, and Jean b. 3 Aug 1791, all in Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire, Scotland.

(Research):?u?Notes from interview with Grandpa (John Cumming) Mather.

?/u?Grandma (Bella) had a grade 3 education. When she was 12 she was babysitting for income. Her older sister, Elizabeth Ruth, a twin of Bob, died of black diptheria. Two others in the family also died of Diptheria. They lived on the Jack Anderson place (Mary Scott's Grandparents?) on the edge of Fallbrook, ON. They were Baptists (Lanark Congregation). They are buried in the Playfairville cemetery, attended St. Peter's Anglican Church and the Methodist Church later.

?u?Telephone call with Gordon Mather December 2015
?/u?About 1916 Grandma had a head injury from a hay fork. For the following year they lived with the Mather family on the Cameron farm near Balderson. Her limp was the result of brain damage arising from this accident. In the early 1930's Grandma suffered from blackouts when she would not recognize the children, Gordon and Evelyn(age 9-10). These blackouts led to a month or more in a Kingston hospital for treatment of the head injury.
After she passed away, Grandpa was surprised to learn that she still had money invested from her seamstress/tailor days and there was considerable income tax to pay on the amount. She had used war bonds and later government bonds to accumulate this money.
Grandma had three years of schooling obtained after a 2 mile walk to the nearest school. As the oldest girl in the family she left school to care for younger children. At approx age of 12 she was hired as a mother's helper by another family - a Mrs. Anderson in Falbrook. At approximately age 14 she moved to Perth where she apprenticed with Mrs. Lyons to gain her sewing skills. She worked for a number of families along the Scotch Line near Perth where she moved from household to household with her sewing machine and equipment/supplies. The Poole family was one of these families. She made clothing for men, women and children.
She would piece quilts during the summer and in the winter she would set up a quilt frame in the parlour. She frequently used her 'rag bag' for fabric for these quilts so it is probable that the woolen fabric in the quilts I remember were scraps from her days as a seamstress.

(Research):?u?Perth Courier, January 1937 Obituary Mrs. Robert Miller
?/u?At Perth, on Thursday, January 7th, Mary Eliza Dodds, wife of the late Robert Miller, at her home on D'Arcy Street. Daughter of the late Ralph Dodds, who came from Coldstream, Scotland in 1831, with his parents.

After his (Ralph Dodds) marriage to Louise McKay, he moved to Flamboro Township, where Mrs. Miller was born, then to the Scotch Line, from there to Glen Tay, where she resided until her marriage to Robert Miller in 1882. They lived at Bathurst Con 2 Lot8 until 1909 when they moved back to Glen Tay. She moved to Perth after her husband's death.

She leaves two sons, Herbert of Glen Tay and Mervyn of Perth and four daughters, Ella, Mrs. John Armour; Louise, Mrs. Alex Armour; Mabel, Mrs. Delbert Chaplin of Glen Tay; and Jean Miller of Perth.
