• Notes

  ?b?James Butler settled in Goulbourne, Ontario, Canada?/b? Posted 01 Oct 2007 by engelmom1 James Butler arrived in Quebec with the British 99th Regiment to fight against the American Colonists and to protect Britains interest in the remaining colonies in Quebec. With the War of 1812 over and things settled down he asked the king of England to grant him land so that he could settle there. In 1819 the King granted him land in an area now known as Goulbourne, Ontario within an area given to the men who fought for the King. In giving the land to these retired army men, the King planned to also have the men defend the land if need be at any later date. So James Butler settled and took a wife, Ellen Harkin, the daughter of the neighbour next door. Children were a forgone conclusion in the lives of this couple and they had many. Included in these many children was a son named William Butler born in or about 1823 after James and Ellen settled the land that the king granted James.
