• Notes

  Sarah E Horton was born to Margaret Hamm and Samuel Horton. Her marriage record to Samuel Stafford, September 22, 1859, in Elgin, Ontario, says her parents were Samuel Horton and Sarah Phillips. However, her death record clearly states her parents as Samuel Horton and Margaret Hamm. Samuel and Sarah were not married until July 17, 1835, after his daughter Sarah's birth. Samuel Horton and Margaret Hamm had other children, Sarah's siblings: Catherine, John A, Andrew Hamm, and Joseph Samuel.  Sarah also had several siblings from her father Samuel Horton's second marriage to Sarah Phillips: Cyrus, Alexy, Nancy, Susannah, Peter, Mary, Rachel, William and Julia. Sarah Horton and Samuel Stafford had six children: Rhoda, Ezra, Abel, Edwin, William and Herbert. No burial marker was found in the cemetery for her, but a newspaper item in the St Thomas Daily Times, 10 April 1911, says: "Died - Mrs Sarah E Stafford, nee Horton, 79 years, Apr 10, widow of Samuel G Stafford; mother of Ezra H, Edward [sic] and Herbert Stafford; sister of Mrs (Rev) W H A Claris, Mrs D McBride, Mrs Henry Daugharty, Rachel and Cyrus Horton. Funeral April 11 to Frome Cemetery."
