• Notes

  This JACKSON family departed IRE for Canada with three other siblings, departing an unknown port in IRE of the schooner Commerce, that set out from Greenock, Scotland to IRE, then to Canada in Jul-Aug 1820. At sea a cholera outbreak occurred and 14 passengers of the 341 died, were buried at sea sewn up in their blankets given at port of origin. When the Commerce landed at Quebec City, they stopped at then Grosse Isle, now Ilse Orleans. Finding no more cholera, the schooner proceeded to Montreal when all passengers disembarked into large wagons, some took the foot trail alongside through the wilderness to Smith Falls, then to Perth, then to Lanark Twp., marked by a piece of paper nailed to a tree; the land was not cleared, all forest. Sarah, James's wife was so distraught by the loss of her 3 children , she asked to go right back to Ireland and not settle in this land of wilderness. They returned to County Wicklow, likely in the Coolkenna area to be with James's mother and his Uncle Abraham KERSEY. When these two later died, James and Sarah and their new family again departed IRE for Lanark Co. via the Port of New Ross, Co. Wicklow, to be with family Easter Sunday, 1841. They took all of their expensive furnishings with then as they lived as upper Society people in IRE. In Lanark Twp., James made a poor farmer so his family did suffer to some degree.
