named after Isaac Brock's brother [DWT]. Brock had several brothers, but the one referred to is Daniel De Lisle Brock: Daniel De Lisle was born on December 10th, 1762. In 1795 he was elected a jurat [* See Below] of the royal court. He went to London in connection with trade and other ancient privileges of the island. Afterwards he assumed the very influential position of lieutenant-bailiff or chief magistrate of Guernsey. He was responsible for building Elizabeth College which today is a very popular boys' school.
De Lisle was Isaac's mother's maiden name. Coming from the Channel Islands, the French name is not surprising.

[HCM, p. 945]: John Nixon, a member of the Township Council, is a descendant of a prominent family, the male members of which have been farmers of England for several hundred years, and were the owners of landed estates, on which the ruins of the family castle can still be seen. John was born in New York State, in 1817, and came to Canada with his parents, but owing to the newness of the country the school facilities were very poor. Indians were very plentiful at that time, and the woods were filled with wild game of all kinds. John grew to be skilled in woodcraft, and the hardships of pioneer life were as naught to him. He has been Justice of the Peace for probably thirty-five years, and has also been a member of the Township Council for thirty-two years, with the exception of three years spent in visiting England, from 1872 to 1875. He has been a Director of the Westminster Mutual Fire Insurance Company for thirty years, and holds the same connection with the Western Fair Board and the East Middlesex Agricultural Society. He is a member of the Church of England, and is the owner of 425 acres of land, all of which is well improved; and he is noted throughout the county as a man of strict integrity, and has the respect of all who know him for his affection and fidelity to his aged mother, for whom he has always made a home. | Nixon*, John (I811)
