    Notes:

    ?i?Alexander Callander & Agnes Sterling Posted 29 Jun 2012 by Liz Richardsen
    ?/i?
    "We must not close this record without a short history of Alexander and his noble little wife, Agnes Stirling. They were my grandparents, I being the son of their youngest child, Alexander.

    They were both born in Falkirk, and Grandfather served his apprenticeship as a blacksmith in the old shop known as Callander Smiddy. When the writer first visited Falkirk, the old Smiddy was still standing. At that time it was used as a bicycle repair shop, but the old forges were till there; no doubt Grandfather spent the days of his young manhood working at one of these. Shortly after my visit, the old Smiddy was torn down and a two story building erected in its place. The lower stroy is now occupied by the agency of Singer Sewing Machine and the upper story as a dwelling.

    Across High Street is a property consisting of five two storoy stone buildings, known as the Callander property. The present owner is William Brown, whose mother was a Callander. She was of a very kind disposition and was known in Falkirk as "Auntie Brown".

    High Street here diverges to the left and another street branches off to the right, forming a point or triangle. On this triangle is erected a stone building known as "Callander Tavern". No person seems to know when it received that name.

    Grandfather and Grandmother caught the Canadian fever and early in 1820 left Falkirk for Canada. When they left Falkirk, they had with them six children. James, Elizabeth, John, Isabella, William and Agnes. While they were waiting for their ship at Greenock, their eldest child, James, died and was buried there. While on board ship, a baby girl, Jeannie, was born, but only lived a short time and was buried at sea. Two other sons were born to them in Canada, James and Alexander.

    The trip across the Atlantic was made in an old man-of-war, that had been sunk during the Napoleonic wars. It had been raised and was now being used to transport emigrants to the Colonies. Adverse winds and very stormy weather delayed the old sailing vessel, but they landed in Quebec some time in June. With them were several other Scottish families, among whom were the Wallaces, the Parks and the Millars.

    When they arrived in Quebec, they were all practically penniless. It has been said that Grandfather landed in Quebec with a wife, five children and a six-pence.

    The manufactured goods used in Canada at this time were made in Britain, brought to Quebec in ships and from there were carried by French Voyageurs to Mont Real and Upper Canada in flat bottomed scows called Batteaux. These were loaded with goods and where the water was smooth, were propelled by sails, but when the rapids of the St Lawrence were reached, they had to be towed. These Scottish emigrants obtained passage for themselves and families by assisting in this work. This was a long and tedious journey and when they reached Prescott, the Boyageurs had no further use for the emigrants, there being very little or no current between there and Toronto, so they were put ashore.

    They immediately began their march inland and in December reached a place in Dalhousie Township, in the County of Lanark. This place is about two miles north of what is now known as Watson's Corners. They picked the high groung for their homes as the low was wet and swampy. The men set to work cutting down trees and built a shanty, but how they existed until they reaped their scanty harvest in 1821, we can not conceive.

    After years of hard labour clearing the land, these Scottish families came to the conclusion that the land was not worth the clearing and decided to leave Dalhousie. The Millars moved south into Bathurst Township, the Parks to Western Ontario, while the Callanders and Wallaces moved east to North Gower township, county of Carleton. The Wallaces settled north of what is now known as North Gower Village, while the Callanders made their home south of it. They bought their land from the Canada Company, and paid for it by selling Potash made from the ashes of the log-piles made in clearing the land.

    It may be interesting to note in passing that, while practically every acre of land sesttled by the Wallaces is still in possession of someone by that name, not an acre of that settled by the Callanders is owned by any of their descendants, nor is there a Callander in North Gower Township and only one in Carleton county, Alexander, son of James Callander, who lives in Ottawa.

    Grandfather died in 1850, aged seventy-five, but Grandmother lived until 1866, being eighty-four when she died. They were a noble pair, both morally and spiritually good, wand while they endured hardships such as very few are called upon to go through, their lot was almost trying, but they always made the best of it and were cheerful, and when we, their descendants, think of them, we have reason to be thankful and proud that we have the blodd of such heroic forbearers running through our veins.

    By a sstudy of the appended genealogical tree it will be seen that we are not only scattered over the whold of North America, from Atlantic to Pacific in both Canada and the United States, but in other countries.

    The senior member of the connection today is Alexander Thomson, son of Agnes Callander and Gilbert Thomson. Alex was born in 1848 and is therefore eighty-eight years of age. Jean Callander, daughter of Alexander Callander and Agnes Brown is the next oldest, born in 1849, and is therefore eighty-seven years old. For the third place there are three contestants, Alexander Stirling, son of James Callander and Margaret Morgan; David, son of William Callander and Harriedt Barrows; and William, son of William Callander and Margaret Wallace. These were each born in 1854, making them eighty-two years of age."

    Written by: Hugh B. Callander 1859 (m. Ettie Wigle 1869), sixth child of nine of Alexander Callander (1825-1873-(youngest son (9th of 9 children)of Alexander Callander 1775-1850 and Agnes Stirling 1782-1856)) and Agnes Brown (1828-1914).

    (Research):Lanark Society Settler, (Anderston & Rutherglen Emigration Society) a blacksmith, arrived on the Brig Prompt in 1820. Settled on Dalhousie C2 L17.

    ?i?from Andrew Wallace & Ellen Fulton, posted 22 May 2014 by Liz Richardsen (see also Andrew Wallace # 19026)?/i?
    Alexander Callander, his wife Agnes Sterling, and their family were emigrants on the same vessel and they too settled in Dalhousie Township on land just south of that taken by Andrew Wallace.

    The two families had, in fact, travelled together as they had pooled their money to get a cart and oxen, as they hadn't planned on starting out in Quebec.

    For seventeen or eighteen years, these families remained in this district overcoming obstacles common to Canadian pioneering. But when the forest was cleared away, the soil was found to be rocky and not the best for farming. Accordingly, in 1837 or 1838 most of the Wallace family left Dalhousie for North Gower Township in Carleton County. here they settled on Lots 18 and 19, in third concession of North Gower. Part of this was Clergy Reserve land, for which they had to wait some years before obtaining their title deeds.
