Notes:

Mary is the daughter of Alice & Alexander Stewart. (Verify)

. After Mary's 9 children were grown Mary returned to Ireland to visit her family. In an often repeated story, great-granddaughter, Marie Felker, recalled that Mary McCutcheon had ridden her horse all the way through the wild bush to Lake Ontario, [to the Port of Oakville] to take her first round of vessels up Lake Ontario & up the St. Lawrence to Ireland." It seems this monumental horse ride made more of an impression on the family than Mary Stewart McCutcheon's ocean voyage! - P J Ahlberg.

. Mary went to Montreal to visit her people & as there were no railroads, she rode horseback to Oakville then took the boat to Montreal. I know once Mary came back from Montreal & rode home alone on horseback. She had a big load, as her people had given her so much to take back to the bushland. She got very tired & people along the way made her stay overnight with them & rest.

. 1893 Sep 2, Wed. We are called upon this week to record the death of a respected nonagenarian, in the person of Mrs. Mary McCutcheon, who departed this life last Wednesday, in her 95th year.
The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon from the residence of her son, Mr. Stewart McCutcheon, Lot 9, Con. 4, Erin, to the Ballinafad Cemetery.
Deceased came to this country with her husband, Hugh McCutcheon, & 2 children (one of which died on ship board) from the County of Down, Ireland, & settled 30 miles from Montreal. After living there for a few years, they came to Erin Tp., about 65 years ago, [c 1828] & hewed out a home for themselves in the forest where they since lived & died.

Notes:

Mathew Smith was well & favorably known as a progressive farmer & an extensive breeder of shorthorn cattle. Mathew Smith had the proud distinction of owning the first buggy in the township and though at the present day it souls be considered rather too old fashion for any one to ride in, it caused quite a sensation & was nearly the cause of getting Mr. Smith into trouble. The first time he rode in state to church, the worshippers were slow in coming in, the cause being attributed to the time occupied in examining and admiring the new buggy, & it was considered by the more conservative people that Mr. Smith, who was considered a "bright and shining light" in the community, was showing an example of extravagance to his neighbors by such an innovation and insisted that Mr. Smith should be disciplined for his want of consideration. ...the subject was dropped.
