Alan Campbell, from Lambton County Branch, discussed how to add colour to your family history at our
March 2014 membership meeting. Alan reminded us that the lives of our ancestors become much more interesting when we search for additional information about them other than just names and dates. He suggested
researchers “think out of the box, look at collateral lines, search local histories and newspapers for the stories
that bring our ancestors to life.”

We were very fortunate to have Elise Harding-Davis present her passionate and personal presentation of the
Black Presence in the War of 1812 at our April 2014 membership meeting. Elsie discussed why the black
population had a vested interest in the outcome of the war. Richard Pierpoint, Caption Runchey’s Corps of
Coloured Men, Captain Dick, John “Daddy” Hall, and Fountain Thurman were a few of the men she discussed. Jerry Hind also spoke briefly about Stanley Hosey, the last black soldier from Kent County to be
killed in the War of 1812.

Our May 2014 was a fantastic meeting with record attendance and much participation and discussion from
the audience. Gary May discussed the importance of adding “context” to your family research and stories.
Our ancestors were much more than just names and dates, and whether you compile your info into a simple
scrapbook or publish a full family history book, documenting our ancestors’ lives is important.

Early records for this area seem to be up for discussion, each family thinking their clan had a part in the settlement. Jeannette’s Creek was settled late for a French settlement, but there are no positive record sources of
the name. Perhaps some families just moved farther west as they cleared the land, as the major French settlement, St. Peter’s, was closer to Chatham, Ontario.
The community of Jeannette’s Creek sits along the Thames River about 15 miles west of Chatham. From
some of the early surnames, it can be stated, with the utmost certainty, that the area was definitely settled by
several French families. There are documents, such as the newspaper article of the 1854 train wreck in Jeannette’s Creek (still listed as one of the most tragic), and the opening of the first post office in 1891 in the
ROZELL mercantile, which mention early residents.
In the early part of the 20th century, Jeannette’s Creek was home to no less than three general stores, one operated by Charlie OUELLETTE. Local tales suggest that this was where the local poker game was held once
a week. The post office and general store, located closer to the original MICHIE farm, was owned and operated since 1885 by Adam ROSZELL and eventually by his son Horace and his wife Bertha (nee GARBUTT). The general store boasted a large wood stove where many of the local men congregated, discussing
the local business. The third store was located on the opposite side of the road, a couple of buildings away
from the Sunday school building.
Speaking of the Sunday school building, it was the hub of activities in Jeannette’s Creek right up until the
mid 1980s. My Aunt Nellie JUBENVILLE was one of the organizers of the annual bazaar. One year in the
early 1950s, just before the bazaar, Aunt Nellie decided that the sign needed to be painted and since my
mother, Madge, her younger sister, was talented that way, it was painted as my mom’s donation to the Sunday School. As we drove by over the years to visit the GARBUTTs, we would look and check to see if the
sign was still in good shape.
Jeannette’s Creek has changed over the years, families moving away and new ones arriving. Family homesteads, such as the KING homestead, were used as directional beacons. I recall my grandfather “Pa” always
giving directions such as, “ Turn right three houses past the King place.”
.
My interest in Jeanette’s Creek comes from my maternal side of the family. Researching the GARBUTT and
the MICHIE lines has been interesting, as I am sure others have found. I found myself asking, “How can
‘simple’ names like GARBUTT and MICHIE be misspelled so much so that in some cases they are not even
close to sounding or looking like they should be.” The hand-written census and other official documents
make for some interesting reading. The best one I have found for MICHIE is MICKEY.. I did not realize I
was a relative of the world-famous mouse.
The earliest I can positively say that there were MICHIEs and GARBUTTs in Jeannette’s Creek is 1892. I
am sure that as more records are automated and contributed this will change. My family tree also unfolds to
include QUENNVILLE, ROSZELL, JUBENVILLE and several other families.
Great-Grandpa John MICHIE was an adventurous soul who immigrated from Scotland in 1882 on a cattle
boat. He located first to the Toronto area, with extended family, and then returned to Scotland in 1892 to
choose a bride. John MICHIE married Jean FARQUHARSON in Scotland. John returned to Canada alone to
secure land in Jeannette’s Creek. He assembled a very primitive shelter for his new bride and then sent for
her. Dismayed, Jean’s family did not have any more to do with her until the first child, James, was born and
they then sent a silver spoon for baby. Can you imagine what the family would have thought of this “house”
that John build for his new bride?

VOLUME 37, ISSUE 2
Jean FARQUHARSON was born in Bolting Stone Logie-Coldstone, Aberdeenshire, Scotland with her other
siblings. They spent a great deal of time with their paternal grandparents in their castle BRAEMAR
(www.braemarcastle.co.uk). When Jean decided to follow James MICHIE to Canada, her family was not
happy. They insisted that the wedding be held in Scotland before the couple moved to the new world and so
the wedding was held in Boltingstone Logie Coldstone. Jean and John had the following children: James
Farquharson (Jim), Ida Elizabeth (my grandmother), Jean, John Forbes (Jack), Bella Spence, and Madge Helen.
James Farquharson MICHIE (Jim) married late in life to Fern HORNICK. There were no children from this
marriage. Jim was a very strict man. This sternness served him well in his position as a school board trustee.
It was his responsibility to hand out the punishment for school children who misbehaved.
Ida Elizabeth MICHIE, my maternal grandmother, married Roy GARBUTT, a widower with two small children. Son George was two years old when his mother, Roy’s first wife, died in childbirth. The child,
Blanche, was raised by her maternal family the QUENNEVILLEs in Stoney Point, Ontario. She resided with
them until she was seven years old. At that time, she was sent to Ursuline Convent in Chatham where she
spent her life until her passing at 84 years. Roy and Ida went on to have five children of their own: Nellie
Jean, Ida May, John, Fredrick, and last my mother, also named Madge after her youngest aunt.
Jean MICHIE married Thomas GARDINER. Tom worked for Canadian National Railway (CNR) and thus
they moved often around Ontario. Jean and Thomas had two sons.
John Forbes MICHIE (Jack) married May JUBENVILLE. Jack and May had one daughter and one son, who
still lives on the original MICHIE farm.
Bella Spence MICHIE, who inherited the adventurous spirit of her family, left home at 18 years of age to
travel to California, USA. Along the way, Aunt Bell obtained her nursing certificate. While in California, she
met and married Alden “Duke” HUNTING. They had one daughter. Aunt Bell worked as a personal assistant
to a woman which enabled her to travel extensively.
As a side note, as I write this early in 2014, the last born in the MICHIE clan, Madge Helen, turned 103 on
March 26. Born to John and Jean in 1911, Madge’s older siblings were left to look after her when their mother Jean passed away from cancer in 1916.
Several years ago, I asked my Gam, as we call my grandmother, to recount her early life in Jeannette’s
Creek. She had great memories of speaking with her father about his life in Scotland and her mother’s family. As the youngest, she often travelled to visit her older sister Jean wherever they happened to be living at
the time. Gam lived in Strathroy, Ontario, then in London, Ontario to attend nursing school and finally she
decided to reside in Chatham where she worked until her early 70s for a couple of local independent stores.
The GARBUTT clan was originally from Peel Township, Ontario, the Port Credit area. There are many stories as to how the GARBUTTs ended up living in Jeannette’s Creek, at least about my grandfather Albert
GARBUTT. Some say Albert followed family to help break the land, some say he needed to leave the Port
Credit area and others tell me he was just an adventurous soul who hopped on the railroad and just got off in
Jeannette’s Creek. No matter which story is the truth or part thereof, Albert came to and raised his family in
Jeannette’s Creek. Albert, who we called Pa, did travel back to Port Credit to visit the remaining GARBUTTs.
Ellen May BARR, who was born 1869 in Lincolnshire, England, arrived in Canada at the port of Quebec on
the ship “Texas” with her parents and three other siblings on 29 September 1874. The BARR family found
themselves in Peel County and for a time in Port Credit. This is where Ellen BARR and Albert GARBUTT
first met.
Kn-26-2014
VOLUME 37, ISSUE 2
In 1891, Albert and Ellen married. In the 1901 census, the Albert GARBUTT family is listed as living in
Canton Township District, Peel County. By 1911, they are listed as living in Tilbury East Township, Kent
County. Ellen and Albert had three children: Roy, my maternal grandfather, born 1892, who married Ida
Elizabeth MICHIE, Bertha, born 1894, who married Horace ROSZEL and Wilfred, born 1897, who married
Elizabeth Hardie COCKBURN.
In 1930 or 1932, depending on whether you view the headstone or the death certificate, when my great
Grampa Albert GARBUTT died, just months after great Gramma Ellen died, he left much debt due to the
times. GARBUTT, my Pa, put the farm equipment up for auction, but a family friend loaned Pa enough
money to keep the farm going, because what good would farm land be if there were no implements to work
it. Pa managed to pay the loan back through the hard work of the family.
During the depression years, farming was not making enough money for the family to pay the bills. One day,
Gram GARBUTT pinned a note to son John and told him to take it to Tom WINSHIP, a supervisor on the
Canadian National Railroad, also from Jeannette’s Creek, asking that he consider hiring Pa. Mr. WINSHIP
came to talk to Gram and she convinced him to hire Pa. At first reluctant, but with Tom’s insistence, Pa
joined Tom on the CNR where he spent 30+ years, considering himself a “railroad man” first and a farmer
second.
While Pa was working on the railroad, Gram GARBUTT and the children of the family maintained the farm
growing mostly vegetables. With a hen house and a couple of jersey cows, there was always food on the table.
When Pa retired some 30 plus years later, he wanted to open a fruit and vegetable stand as a full-time business. My mom and dad converted the old hen house into a “fruit stand.” People traveled from Detroit, Windsor, and even as far as London to buy fresh produce and speak with Roy and subsequent family members. He
always had a kind word for anyone who stopped by to purchase his produce.
When Pa passed away in 1968, the farm was left to Fred and his family to run. Gram GARBUTT lived in the
main farm house until she passed away in 1988.
Under the direction of Fred and his son Roy, the GARBUTT farm grew to include several neighbouring
farms that they purchased or leased. Almost everyone with a GARBUTT last name worked on that farm at
some time or another. Fred and Anne (nee WIERINGA) also had two daughters who contributed many,
many hours to the farm.
With the passing of Fred in 2011, his son and two daughters, along with Anne, decided to discontinue the
farming operation. As of 2013,with the death of Anne, the GARBUTT Farm Fruit Stand is just a memory.
Names mentioned most in the historical records include BARR, BELL, BRADLEY, BRUSSO, GARBUTT,
JUBENVILLE, KING, LABADIE, LARSH, MICHIE, PELLETIER, REAUME, ROSZELL, SCHRAM,
SMITH, STARK, TAYLOR, TORCK, WINSHIP, and many more.
Upon checking the 1880 atlas in Kent County, Frank P. Vink found the residents of Concession 1 and 2,
between lots 2 to 12, near and along the river, listed as: Israel BESSETTE, Joseph CASSIDAY, Jas CARLTON, L. DAUPHIN, N. DAUPHIN, G. H. DOLSON, Jas HAMILTON, Ralph HOCK, A. HOWE, W. H.

Tip:
Donna Dickson provides a tip when researching people who lived on or near a river. She recommended always
checking the adjacent township or county for records as our ancestors often crossed the rivers for work and social life.
For example, Dover Township would be the other township to look at if you are researching in the Jeannette’s Creek/
Tilbury East area.

Query - I am trying to find out more information about my 3X great grandparents, James McCANN
and Christina STEWART. They had four children: George H., 1835 - 1922; James, 1839 - 1873; Maria,
1844 - ?; and my great-great-grandfather John, 1852 - 1888.
All records indicate that the children were born in Harwich Township, Ontario (census, marriage, etc.) but I
cannot find any burial, cemetery, marriage or birth records for James and Christina. Many related
McCANNs are buried in the Botany Cemetery and the Maple Leaf Cemetery, and I have searched those records for James and Christina without success.
I would like to find out their death date and where they are buried. I would also like to know their origin.
They were likely born somewhere in the United Kingdom and immigrated to Canada, but that is only conjecture on my part.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.
