Notes |
- Sarah Gillespie Smith and John Smith. In 1839, Sarah Gillespie Smith and her husband, John Smith, with their son George, age 5, arrived in Canada from County Armagh in Northern Ireland, to join her brothers, Robert and James Gillespie, in Quebec. (All three were children of John Gillespie and Sarah Woods Gillespie.)
They settled first on a farm at Bourg Louis, near Quebec, and later moved to Point Levis. In Canada, three daughters were born to them - Anne Jane, Mary and Sarah.
Eventually they went to live with their son George, at Hamilton, Ontario, where they spent their remaining years. Some of their descendants still live at Hamilton, Ontario. Sarah Smith survived her husband by four years
and died at the advanced age of 99.
