• Notes

  William and Elizabeth came to Lanark Co. Ontario, Canada from Wicklow Co. Ireland about 1820 and settled West lot 12, con 12, Lanark twp. It is believed that the original grant of land from the Crown might have been given in recognition of services. It is believed they arrived in Canada between Aug 25 and Dec 14, 1820 on the Challenger. Records read that all the James were staunch adherents to the Anglican Church, the Conservative Party, and to the Orange Lodge.
