    Notes:

    Research information provided by Nancy Dale Conroy as draft material from upcoming book.

    WILLIAM HAMILTON (1788-1854)
    Some family trees on ancestry suggest he arrived in Clarendon about 1821. In the second
    Prendergast report, he has settled on Lot 15, Range 7 and has cleared 5 acres and part of the
    road. This confirms to some extent that he was in the area at least a few years before the land
    was allocated by Prendergast. As of 1833, he appears to have acquired another piece of land,
    lot 14, Range 7. This is confirmed by the 1842 census as by then he has 300 acres of land.
    From a couple of thin files at the Archives, the Gravelle notes suggest that he was born in 1787,
    not 1788. It also says he comes from Glasgow and is a carpenter. Gravelle also says he is an
    ex-soldier. In the 1842 Census, William is also identified as a carpenter, with a wife and six
    children. They are Agnes, 1829, John, 1831, William 1835, Robert 1837, George 1838, James
    1841. It appears that his next child, Jessie is born in 1845. The 1842 census also lists a Jennet
    Hamilton, age 87, who is from Scotland; perhaps she is his mother.
    While he and his wife are from Scotland, the children were all born in Canada. His wife is
    Margaret Duncan (1804-1864) and she is from Paisley, Scotland. The Gravelle file suggests
    she was born on April 17, 1806. As of the 1842 census he is farming on a 300 acre property.
    He is growing lots of crops and also has considerable livestock, especially sheep. The family
    worships with the Church of Scotland. In 1845 he has a daughter, Janet (Jessie) who marries
    Samuel Horner on 28 June 1866. These are the parents of my grandmother, Janet (Jessie)
    Horner. She marries Samuel Sherwood Dale in 1907. (Gravelle files say that the births of the
    Hamiltons can be found in the Anglican baptism records.)
    He may have left Scotland 19 May 1821 from Greenock, (Glasgow), Scotland, having been
    sponsored by The Glasgow Trongate Society and sailing on the ship "David of London", (Capt
    Gemmell, 364 settlers). The book, The Lanark Society Settlers, has a William Hamilton listed.
    NOTE: There is a John Hamilton with a wife and either 4 or 6 children renting 30 acres of land
    as of 1842. He says he has been in the country for 13 years and he and his wife come from
    Ireland, with the children born in Canada. Presumably he arrived in the second wave of settlers;
    it is not clear if he knew William Hamilton given that one came from Scotland and the other from
    Ireland.

    (Research):Margaret was oldest child of Agnes and Robert.

    Another Old Settler at Rest
    Again it becomes our duty to chronicle the demise of one of the hardy pioneers of this section - one who had his share of hardships incident to the vicissitudinary period in which this county was first settled - in the person of Mr Robert Duncan, of Ramsay, who passed away on Tuesday morning last, in his 86th year. His death was sudden, He arose as ussual, ate a hearty breakfast and died half an hour later, from heart failure it is suposed. For the last eight or ten years Mr Duncan had been subject to occasional weak spells; prior to that time he always enjoyed vigorous health. Deceased was born in Paisley, Scotland in January 1808. He came to Canada with his parents in 1821. They settled the same year on the 11th line of Ramsay, in which deceased lived continuously till his death., a period of over seventy years. Mr Duncan was twice married - first to Margaret Lockhart, by whom he had two children, Mrs James Caskey, of this town, and Mrs James Stirton, of Seatle, Washington and by his second wife Eliza McLinton, who survives him, seven children, all of whom are living, viz: Robert, David and Margaret, in Manitoba; James of Arnprior; Alex, in Detroit; William and Mary, on the homestead. In religion deceased was a Presbyterian, and in politics a Reformer. He never sought public office of any kind. He was a man of unswerving integrity, and enjoyed the respect of his neighbours and acquaintances; and a host of friends will receive the anouncement of his death with sincere sorrow. The remains will be interred in the eighth line cemetery this (Thursday) afternoon

    Mortgage:
    Although not proven this mortgage was likely for the building of a stone 2 storey farm house on lot 9 con10. The style and footprint of this stone house is very similar to that of the Duncan farmhouse built on lot 10 con 9. John was the second oldest son of Robert Duncan and Agnes Gifford. He married in 1838, bought the 200 acres of lot 9 Con 10 in 1839 and had a young family of two daughters. It is also believed that he worked closely with his father and older brother Robert to clear and crop the farmland they owed by this time. Unfortunately John died in October 1844 after his youngeres child, john Duncan was born in the spring of 1844. The cause of his death is not known but must of caused great upheaval with in the family. The is land record evidence that this farm was assumed by John Forgie althought there is record registering this sale on record. John Forgie sold the farm to a nephew Graham Gorgie for $2000. on 4 Jan 1853.

    ?b?Obit. - James Duncan?/b?
    One of the very few remaining links between the past generation and the present was removed this (Thursday) morning when Mr. James Duncan was called away from the surroundings in which he had spent so long a life. The late Mr. Duncan was born on the homestead in Ramsay, now occupied by his youngest son, Mr Ed Duncan, His whole life was spent there until a little over five years ago, when he removed to Almonte, to spend with Mrs. Duncan in the declining years of their lives in the comfortable home he had provided. On March 25, 1854, he was married to Elizabeth Lockhart, who was born in Scotland and came to Canada with her parents when nine years of age. To Mr. and Mrs. Duncan eleven children were born; all of whom are still living. The sons are Robert at Pilot Mound; William, James, John and Albert at Regina; Hugh at Strathcona; Alexander Sidney on the McFarlene farm and Ed on the homestead; the daughters are Maggie (Mrs. Butchart) and Lizzie (Mrs. Dr. Paterson) in Almonte, and Aggie (Mrs. Holden) at Pilot Butte, Man. The first break in the family circle occurred four years ago when Mrs. Duncan passed away, and now Mr. Duncan makes the second. Mr. Duncan was of a retiring disposition and never sought public office of any kind, preferring the quiet of his own home. He was of a robust constitution, and even until not long ago he thought little of a tramp out to the farm and spending the day busily working about because he loved to work. The funeral has been delayed until Sunday afternoon to enable members of the family at a distance to attend. It will take place at 3 o'clock to the eighth line cemetery.

    ?b?Mr. Duncan's Funeral?/b?
    The funeral of the late James Duncan took place from his home on Elgin street to the the Eighth Line Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of people both from the town and township in which his long life had been spent. Two of his sons, James of Regina, and robert from Pilot mound, were among the cheif mourners. The pallbearers were three who were near neighbours of Mr. Duncan when he was on the farm - Messrs John Neilson, Graham Forgie and Donald Stewart, and three of his nearby town neighbours - Messrs HH Cole, S Young and John McFarlane. The funeral services were conducted by Rev C. H. Daly, of St. John's church, of which Mr. Duncan had been a member for many years. Among the floral tributes was a beautiful wreath from the family.

    Notes:

    In Blythe, supported the family by doing home nursing. When the family arrived in Winnipeg Elizabeth and the girls Isabel, Kate and Mary were able to support the family. They bought a large house and took in borders. Maggie stayed home to help her mother until she married. They bought several pieces of property and one Mary went to live in as a new bride and lived in until her death - the house Ruby shared with her. When only Aunt Kate was left at home with her parents, they moved into a smaller house owned jointly by Mary, Kate and Belle. From this house Aunt Kate and Ruby came to us (Isabel Stewart's childhood home).
    As a result of their experiences with alcoholism, the family became strongly prohibitionists.
