[HCM p737]: John Bogue, one of the old and much esteemed citizens of the county, and a prominent farmer of Westminster Township, was born in Scotland, November 27, 1800, and is a descendant of one of the old and sterling Scotch families who have done so much to clear up the country and make presentable the pleasant homes of to-day. He was a gardener by trade, and in 1820 went to England, where six years later he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Parrot. This union resulted in the birth of eight children, who grew to maturity: - John, Allen, James, Thomas, David, Richard, Ann, and Emma. In 1837, Mr. Bogue immigrated to Canada and settled on a farm of 120 acres on the 1st Concession, Lot --. Mr. Bogue cleared his farm with his own hands, and was a hard-working man.
