| 611 | (Research):Drusillia's mother is Elizabeth McManagle and she is the sister of Margaret McManagle who is Mrs. John Hendry Boyle son of Janet Jessie Miller. Information regarding father Robert Boyle came from Doreen Boyle Perrett. ****************** There is another possibilty but I think it is far fetched 1 Genealogy - Charles & Ted Charles McFadden Attachments Feb 19, 2018, 7:05 PM to me Hi Diane There is I suppose another possibility That Drusilla is the daughter of Robert Hendry Boyle married to Janet Jessie Miller and Elizabeth James McManagle daughter of the Lanark Society Settler Robert James 1820. Elizabeth James Mrs Anthony McManagle is born 1810 Cambuslang, Lanarkshire, Scotland and she is the mother of Elizabeth McManagle sister of Margaret McManagle Mrs. John Hendry Boyle. I just doubt that Drusilla is the daughter of Robert Hendry Boyle 1795 married to Janet Jessie Miller. We have Drusilla's birth date. Elizabeth James would be age 56 and Robert Hendry Boyle 1795 would be age 71. Seems really far fetched to me that he would go stepping out on Janet Jessie Miller in his seventies not to mention Elizabeth James McManagle age at the time of birth. So I think that is just voodoo. Seems more likely to me that it is Robert Hendry Boyle Junior cavorting with his sister in laws sister. What do you and Don think ? Let me know. Chuck | Boyle, Drucilla (I16475)

| 612 | (Research):E Miller & D. Miller Duncan notes: Con 1 Lot 18, the Dodds family farm, settled in 1831. Glen Tay Then and Now - After the Great Fire John Hargraves rebuilt the factories, but because of tremendous losses, he never got out of debt. He eventually sold everything to Henry Moorehouse in 1872. Moorehouse went into business with Ralph Dodds,....who owned 450 (250?) acres near the mills, was married to Louise McKay, and had moved to Adamsville in 1831(?), conducted the woollen industries until 1897. He employed two managers for his part of the business, James Kendry in 1872 and C.L. Owen in 1879. This factory employed 50 men and manufactured up to 100,000 yards of tweed each year. Moorehouse who owned the power plant, sold it to the Perth Electric and Water Power Company to aid in producing electricity for the Town of Perth. The last of the Moorehouse and Dodds machinery was sold from Glen Tay to St John's, QC, in 1899. Perth Public Utilities used this electrical power until later, in 1918, when it came from High Falls, MacDonalds Corners, ON, Canada. In the spring of 1926, without maintenance, and the timbers rotted, the dam itself finally let go. The last remaining source of power, of this once industrial mill, taking with it the bridge and overspilling its banks, flooding everything in its path, as far down as the low lying areas in Perth. Wooden planks were laid across, to the little island, south of the old bridge, and from the island to the north shore, where families could cross the river on foot, until a new bridge could be built. Ernest Miller as a young man was warned never to cross this alone, as it did not have any safety railing. The only way Herbert Miller and family could cross the river, was by hooking up the horses to the surrey and go across below the bridge where the river was shallow, in order to attend church. Ralph Dodds and his brother Alex purchased part of Lot 20 Con 2 from Henry Moorehouse in 1858. In approximately 1858-59 Ralph built the home, which was later obtained by his daughter Elizabeth (Eliza Jane) Dodds, married to Robert Miller. This home has been in the Miller name to the present day, known as 'Tayside Farms'. | Dodds, Ralph (I1514)

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 Lot 6 C 3 Bathurst (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. JR Ernest notes Thomas Miller, Bathurst purchased lot 301, Old Burying Grounds, Perth in 1853. 1980 notes suggest he may have lived in the Grafton or Cookston area of North Dakota at one time. Chapter 23 WEST ALBANY TOWNSHIP Pages 777-787 From the book about Wabasha Co. Minnesota "HISTORY OF WABASHA COUNTY" Compiled by Dr. L. H. Bunnell Published Chicago by H. H. Hill, Publishers, 1884 Republished Currently by Higginson Books 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. | Miller, Thomas (I22)

The Elizabeth Miller born 1860 in the 1871 census is not a daughter of James Miller & Granny Smith because it is the other Elizabeth born 1855 who is and she marries McKinnon. A search for parental lines going back to Elizabeth Smith, (great granddaughter), suggests she had the following in her household in 1871 when she married Robert. [Parents unknown].

"I am writing about Robert Brown Millar who married Elizabeth Granny Smith in 1869 - Perth, Ontario.

The 3 siblings are listed in the 1871 census for Palmerston and South Canonto, Ontario as living with Robert and Elizabeth. A descendant has advised that they did live with their grandparents.

He was a bricklayer and married at that time but his wife and children were not listed. He was widowed when he married Elizabeth. I believe that he was born in Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It could be that one of his children [Robert] was the father of Elizabeth and her siblings. I was told that their [James' although the marriage registers differ, childhood memory of what they were told?]parents were John and Janet Miller who met and married in Perth, Lanark, Ontario.

Elizabeth Smith Miller: Title: The Lanark Era, BDM, Author Peter E Anderson, Obituary: In many respects, Mrs. Miller was one of the most remarkable women in the County of Lanark. Possessed of wonderful energy all through life, hers was a career of exceeding activity. In a region where all was virgin forest, and no person save a lone Indian was near, she with her husband erected a home of logs, where they resided for many years the only white people in that neighbourhood. Then the lumberman came with his axes and men, the mighty giants of the forest were felled and removed and Nature's primitive scenes gave place to pastoral landscapes and peaceful vistas. Mrs. Miller outlived this process of change, the woodman's entrance and exit, the passing of the redman, the bleat of the lamb for the howl of the wolf, the modern dwelling for the scoop-roof shanty, the varnished buggy for the crude jumper, the silks for the homely drugget and having passed through it all, she entered the better land. Mrs. Miller came of good Scotch parents. He maiden name was Elizabeth Smith. Born the 5th Sept, 1818 at Paisley... with her parents she came to Canada in 1821 and settled in the Township of North Sherbrooke. In 1842 Elizabeth was married to Mr. James Miller. The young couple began matrimonial life in North Sherbrooke and after several moves they settled in the township of Palmerston, on a lot known as the Indian lot. That was in 1848 and they were the furthest settlers west of the Mississippi River for a period of 12 years. The opening up of the Snow Road brought in a lot of settlers who took up land around the Miller homestead. In 1857 the terrible disaster known as the Crotch Lake catastrophe shocked the whole countryside. A whole gang of men were swept away while driving by the river by breaking of the dam. Their bodies were not recovered for a long time afterwards and Mr. Miller used to carry mail to the men searching for the bodies of the unfortunate rivermen. It was on one of these trips that Mr. Miller lost his life.He was drowned near Crotch Lake. Mrs. Miller has living 43 grandchildren, 77 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. To her children and many of her grandchildren Mrs. Miller proved a very efficient physician, administering to their physical ailments with skill born the years of observation and experience. Indeed, for many years when no doctor was in the neighbourhood and Lanark was the nearest point that boasted a man of medicine, Mrs. Miller attended the sick and lost many a night's sleep in doing what she considered a duty. She was a Presbyterian. When a young girl, McDonald's Corners was the nearest place where public worship was held. The boys and girls walked there barefooted, carrying their boots, and when near the church put them on. This was done to save the boots, for in those days frugality and economy were the very essence of living. MillarJ Great-great grandmother Elizabeth (Smith) Millar Elizabeth Smith Millar Posted 17 Sep 2013 by oldneva on Ancestry In 1861 census, Elizabeth was in Palmerston married to Ewen McDonald and living with her family.

"The Millars can trace back six generations when the family first moved in 1821 into what is now North Sherbrooke Township. Max's great grandmother moved to Snow Road about 1848 and for many years she and husband James were the only white settlers north of the Mississippi. She opened her home as a 'stopping place' for travelers along Snow Road, and the energetic woman served the community as physician, midwife, lawyer and mailman."

Elizabeth Lindsay (1407? ?); married Robert Erskine, 1st Lord Erskine; she may have been confused with her sister of the same name, and it is possible that they were one and the same person.
