816	Walter McIlmoyle, of the Township of Smith, was born in 1850, on lot 21, concession 10 - the old McIlmoyle homestead - where he has always resided. At a very early age his grandfather emigrated to "the Colonies", arriving just previous to the outbreak of the revolution, which ended in the American Independence. The loyalty of the elder McIlmoyle, however, casued him to join his fortunes to the King's cause; and having taken arms against the Continentals, he was compelled, with thousands such as him, to seek safety by flight into the winderness of Upper Canada, in 1783. He drew land as a U.E. Loyalist where the Town of Prescott now stands; but in the early part of the century removed to Northumberland County - one of the pioneers of that section. Here his father, Hugh McIlmoyle, was born, in 1812; and here his grandfather died some years later. When still a youth, Hugh removed to the Township of Smith. He married Elizabeth O'Donohoe; and, settling on the lot above mentioned, hewed out a house from the wilderness, and reared a family of four sons and a daughter. Quite recently Mr. McIlmoyle, sen'r, has retired from active business - the management of the farm devolving upon Walter, who is intelligent, affalbe, and well-informed, and is looked upon as one of the substantial and rising young men of the community.

818	Wayne Rostad April 19 at 12:26 PM via Facebook I will try to keep it short; however, there is much to say about my lifelong friend, Lawley Rae Parker. I was 16 years old, living on Frank Street in Ottawa when I first met Rae. He lived one street over from me on Waverly. That summer day, in 1964, I was walking home from the Party Palace Restaurant with my buddy, Freddy Thomas. We were typical teenagers of that era…black jeans, black boots with steel clicks on the heels; trucker wallets in our back pockets chained to our belt loops; hair slicked up in Jelly Rolls---kind of like punk kids cruising the neighborhood when we spotted Rae up ahead walking homeward with a guitar sitting atop his shoulder. I had seen him once or twice before and wanted to talk to him because I had just started to seriously play guitar myself and needed to learn from someone. So, we hollered out asking him to stop and began running up to him, which not surprisingly, scared the living daylights out of him…two punk kids coming at him, and for what, he did not know. So he started running the final block to the sanctity of his home porch where he stopped all out of breath just as we caught up to him. Well, he was quite relieved when I told him why we chased him down and, to make a long story short, he agreed to give me some lessons the very next day. He was my first real guitar teacher, and a most interesting man, a graphic illustrator for a book company in Ottawa. He had a goatee beard, black-rimmed glasses, and spoke phrases like “Far out, Man” and “Cool Daddio”. Rae was a Beatnik, a genuine member of the beat generation of the 60’s. Rae was 26 years old when I met him and he became my best friend and mentor for most of my life, guiding me through my late teen years, teaching me how to keep musical time with my feet tapping time as I played, and teaching me how to write stories and songs. What I am today, is a man that was shaped by Rae. He always had time to listen to me and helped me through so many decisions and career choices. Rae was also a schizophrenic. In his world, he was seven people and struggled with self-identity as a result. Nevertheless, he was a brilliant man, an academic Beatnik of the day. He saw the world in a very special way. He didn’t like a lot of what was going on in the troubled Middle East; hated politics, thieves, liars, and basically the direction in which the world was heading. So, he began pulling away from society, choosing solitude and peace as his world of choice. As we grew together in friendship over the years, I went on to marry Lynda (Rae was the Best Man at my wedding) had my son, Josh, and later divorced. Rae continued to shelter himself more and more as the years went by. Then one day, he announced he was leaving his city home in Ottawa and would be living on a remote farm in the Gatineau Hills, where he could meditate, much like a Tibetan Monk would. I went to visit him often, talking about life in general, and about his life in particular. What he taught me is contained in my song, Lawley Rae. I moved to the Gatineau Hills and following Rae’s lead, determined to write songs about real people and the place I called home. Again it was Rae that mentored me in that direction. Rae remained Schizophrenic his entire life, ending up on terminal social welfare, choosing not to mingle any more than he had to with the world around him. I sat and watched him cry more than once over simple, beautiful moments, like “taking time to watch a flower grow”, or listening to the wind outside his farmhouse window. In short, I saw Rae die, spiritually, on one rainy day visit to the farm, when he was particularly sad about what societies everywhere were doing to our world. He so appreciated this beautiful planet he called home. My dear friend, Lawley Rae Parker, died his physical death, two months ago. He was living in a Senior residence for the past four years. He could no longer live alone and went to a home filled with sadness. Eventually, he lost the will to live and stopped taking his heart medication, much to the dismay of his doctor, and died from a massive heart attack. He was 85. Coincidentally, I had spoken to him “just about a week…before he died”. I’m so happy you enjoy his song as much as I do.	Parker, Lawley Rae David (I488)

822	When her mother died, her father placed both girls in the Barnardo Home for Children. In 1891 both girls were with a family and their father William was at home, widowed, living next door to his borther George. Maud emmigrated to Canada in 1895 to become a domestic.	Hume, Maud (I8749)

825	William appears as a child of 5 in the Kincardine Twp 1871 census and age 14 in the 1881 census. He applied for US citizenship in Wasco County Oregon in July 1888 and is recorded as married with wife Gertrude in the 1900 Kingsley census, 1910 Kingsley census, 1920 census for The Dalles and 1930 census for The Dalles.His life as a successful farmer is well documented in three well known publications: 1905 An Illustrated History of Central Oregon1928 History of the Columbia River from The Dalles to the Sea1953 History of Wasco County OregonA number of small discrepancies occur between the articles but nothing too noteworthy.He had a 200 acre ranch on the Tygh Ridge which he called the Harmony Ranch on which he raised his family till retiring to The Dalles in 1913. He served as Mayor of The Dalles from 1917 - 1919.Gertrude passed away and William remarried Flora C.He had no offspring.His residence at time of death 1002 E 12 st. The Dalles, Ore.

827	William Pengelley NORTHEY, the son of John NORTHEY and Grace PENGELLEY, was born on December 02, 1792 in Parish of Germansweek, Devonshire, England, and died on January 22, 1863 in Smith Township, Peterborough County, Ontario, buried in Bridgenorth Cemetery, Bridgenorth, Ontario. He married Margaret GORDON on February 22, 1792 in Parish of Germansweek, Devonshire, England, and they had eleven children. She was born in England.William Pengelly Northey was born December 2, 1792, son of Grace Pengelly. This was in the time of banned marriages in England according to church law. Grace Pengelly could not marry her sister's husband John Northey even though her sister Elazabeth had died leaving a husband and 5 small children. Elizabeth Northey had died April 25, 1791. However, Grace and John went to Plymouth and were married January 4, 1796 in Plymouth parish, and returned home legally married by law. It is believed that John Northey Jr. was the father of William Pengelly as he referred to him as "my" son in his 1816 will. In similar fashion, John Northey Sr., referred to him as "my" grandson William Pengelly in his 1803 will. In neither situations was he referred to as son of Grace Pengelley. As a farm labourer he probably worked on land leased by the Northey family- Hennard Gifford the 60.3 acre farm leased by his grandfather in 1776, and the smaller 7.3 acre Hockaday tenement in Hennard Mill Village also leased by his grandfather, but now lived in by his parents.The parish of Germansweek recorded a marriage February 22, 1814 between Margaret Gordon and William Pengelley Northey. This was the last time that William used Pengelley as part of his name in any public record.William and Margaret lived with his parents in the house known as Hockadays. His parents died in 1816. William, Margaret and family remained in this tenement house until they left for Canada in 1842.In his father's will of 1816, William was left a tenement house in Hennard Mill Village known as Mill's House. It is not clear how William's father became in charge of this tenement. William Northey's grandfather, John Pengelly Jr. leased Mill's Tenement in 1777 to enlarge land previously leased by his father John Pengelly Sr., in 1751 known as Bonds Tenement. It is interesting to note that John Pengelly Sr., signed a 99 year lease in 1750 for property known as Pengelly tenement with the number of lives being 1-his own. After his death in 1775, Pengelly tenement was never again in the Pengelly family, but remained beigh called Pengelly tenement - adding to the difficulty in tracing where families lived, when you also consider there were 3 John Northey's and 2 John Pengelly's living there from 1750 to 1842.In 1786, John Pengelly Jr., built a second house on Mills Tenement. After his death in 1800, John Northey the Third leased a house on Mills. The records do not specify which house, however both had an orchard and garden. There was also some difficulty identifying where exactly the two houses were situated. John Pengelly Jr., was a brother of both Elizabeth and Grace Northey. He died in 1800 and left his lands to his daughter and husband John Knight until 1814. Records have not been found to show how John Northey Jr. came to be in possession of Mills tenement, not is it clear to what use William Northey made of this tenement which was 10.2 acres in size. He probably worked the land and family members lived there as it was not too - far away.William Morthey was well aware that all land leased would be returned to the Luxmore family following the death of his Uncle Thomas Northey who was the last of three lives recorded on the original land lease of 1776. Thomas Northey died October 16, 1842. The lease had expired, and as other leases expired in the following years, the lands of the original farm and village were leased to larger neighbouring tenements. The houses quickly fell into ruin, and Hennard Mill Village became a bumpy field and the village disappeared forever.The land is now under water as part of the Roadford Reservoir Project finished in 1990, however the Exeter Museum did extensive documentary research and archaeological investigations and has published material.William Northey and his wife Margaret Gordon had 11 children all baptised in the church at Germansweek in the parish of Gemansweek. All were born while they were living at Hockaday tenemenet in Hennard Mills Village. Their firstborn died at 15, and is buried in the Cemetery at St. Germanus Church in Germansweek Church Village. In the late summer of 1842, William and most of his family came to Canada, spent the winter of 1842-43 in Port Hope, Ontario, and settled in Smith Township in 1843 having purchased land from Thomas Ward.It is believed that 9 children and 1 grandchild came over with William and Margaret Northey, and that the oldest son William Northey Jr., his wife Ann Perkins, and 3 children came over in the mid 1840's. In 1843, William Northey purchased 50 acres Pt. Lot # 12 East Communication Road in Smith Township for 62 pounds, and in 1846 he purchased an additional 71 acres of N. Pt Lot # 12 for 85 pounds 10 shillings and 8 pence. Here he built a log shanty, cleared some land, and began to farm with assistance from his children until they married and left home.In the 1851 census it was recorded that he was a widower, but evidently a successful farmer having 26 acres under cultivation. He had harvested crops of wheat, oats, peas, and hay, 45 pounds of wool had been sheared, and 12 yards of fulled cloth and 17 yards of flannel had been made. His animals included 6 oxen, 5 milch cows, 15 sheep, and 5 pigs.William Northey passed away January 22, 1863 and was buried in the Cemetery at Gilmour Bapitist Church in Smith Township, although William and his family were Methodists.St. Germanus Church in Germansweek Village published a pamphlet in 1975 outlinging the religious growth and change over the years in and around Germansweek. It was recorded that John Wesley had visited the area in the mid 1820's spreading the Methodist religion. He stayed over night in a house in Hennard Mill Village, and preached a sermon the following day in the village green. This may have been the time when William Northey and his family became Methodists.In William Northey's will dated 1862, his money was to be divided equally among his 10 children. His youngest son Thomas was to have use of the farm rent free for 3 years, and all furniture and personal property. At the end of 3 years, the farm was to be sold to the highest bidder. From the proceeds, $40.00 was to be given to each of his 10 children, $200.00 to his grandson Richard Northey, son of his daughter Grace White, and the balance to be equally divided among his four sons.Thus his land which was to become part of the Village of Bridgenorth passed out of the Northey family.(Source: James Northey-Peterborough, Ontario, Canada)	Northey, William Pengelley (I4571)

The list goes on and on. The appraisals also state that she persists in an extended work day and has always expressed a desire to work as long as possible. May 2, 2010 (received by email from Marion Brown) I used to work with Sadie at Hunts Woman's Bakery and also at Tridel Corporation, 4800 Dufferin Street . She was the sweetest person. Recently my son and his wife had a baby girl and named her Sadie. I was thrilled with this but can't stop thinking about your Sadie. I have a Toronto Star Article that appeared in the paper March 2, 1981 shortly after her 80th birthday. We had a birthday celebration for Sadie at the Whaler's Wharf Restaurant on Finch Avenue near Dufferin and afterwards a cake and presentation of gifts for her. I thought you might be interested in having it for your wonderful family history. I will never forget this wonderfuly woman. I used to drive her to the bus after work each night to make sure she was safely aboard before heading home myself. She would always say, "See you in the movies dear" when she got out of the car.

836	Worked with a thrasher in Oakwood by the name of Lake. Mr. Lake had an accident and lost a leg. At that time he sold the thrashing machine to Neil. Neil and Eliza moved from Oakwood to near Islay in Fenelon Township, Victoria County. Neil worked around Islay thrashing for a number of years.In the spring of 1893 they bought and moved to East 1/2 Lot 8, Concession 13, Mariposa Township, 100 acres for $2,500 from a Mr. Argue. It was located 3 miles south and 1 mile east of Woodville. The farm was mostly bush and had to be cleared. Buildings were on it but the barn was near the road. It was moved to its present location. In 1911 a windstorm took the roof off the barn. At this time a hip roof was put on the barn.They did mixed farming. In 1912 a gravel pit was opened, still in use.	Maclean, Neil (I5899)

842	Yet another of the Mozley brothers, the Rev. Dr. James Mozley, had in 1832 described his future sisters-in-law in a letter home: "The Miss Newmans are very learned persons, deeply read in ecclesiastical history, and in all the old divines, both High Church and Puritanical. Notwithstanding [notwithstanding!] they are very agreeable and unaffected." These two sisters were hero-worshippers, and John Henry was their hero. They looked after his poor at Littlemore, and they gave him what he thanked GOD for- A countless store Of eager smiles at home.	Newman, Harriette Elizabeth (I4166)
843	Yet another of the Mozley brothers, the Rev. Dr. James Mozley, had in 1832 described his future sisters-in-law in a letter home: "The Miss Newmans are very learned persons, deeply read in ecclesiastical history, and in all the old divines, both High Church and Puritanical.

They looked after his poor at Littlemore, and they gave him what he thanked GOD for— A countless store Of eager smiles at home. From the Memoir and Letters of Francis W Mewman John Newman was the only son of John Newman of Lombard Street, London, and of Elizabeth Good, his wife. The arms granted the family on 15th Feb., 1663-4, were _Or, fers dancettee between 3 hearts gules_. John Newman, the father of Francis Newman, was partner in the banking house of Ramsbottom, Newman and Co. He married Jemima Fourdrinier, 29th Oct., 1799, at St. Mary's, Lambeth. [Footnote: She died at Littlemore, Oxon, at the age of sixty-two.] In the portrait of him, which is shown in this memoir, there is a strong resemblance to his son Francis. By this marriage there were seven children. John Henry (the future Cardinal), was the eldest. He was born 21st Feb., 1801. Charles Robert was the second son; and Francis William, the third son, was born 27th June, 1805. Harriette Elizabeth was the eldest daughter, Jemima Charlotte the second, and Mary Sophia, who was born in 1809, only lived to the age of nineteen.	Newman, Jemima Charlotte (I4167)
