Sources McKeen Cemetery, Geta & Frank Goodall, Lois Wells & others:
George Thomas Sargent, 1803-1849 & his wife Sarah Felker, b. 1811, came from Grimsby to Garafraxa in or before 1841 when their son Cyrus was born.
. Descendant of Mary Ann, Mrs. Joseph Cawthra send information from Marriage certificates:
Ref: the Pioneer's wife Felker:
. The pioneer couple took up 200 A, all of Lot 12, Con 7, Garafraxa Twp. No record of 1st land owners in Microfiche Abstracts for Geo. This Sargent ever having owned this piece of property, yet it was left to his descends by his will.
We believe he made arrangements with the owner in Grimsby area to buy L12 C7, Garafraxa, & settled on it, but because of his untimely death, he never made a payment on it; also because of the distance to Toronto, the mode of travel by foot, around by Galt to Hamilton to Toronto. We expect the Sargent family came by way of Hamilton to Toronto
We expect the Saregent family came by way of Brantford to Elora, Fergus to Belwood, following the Grand River then an Indian Trail. They may have come to Garafraxa because a relative, Lewis Felker 1795 & his wife Mary Meredith 1796, & their family came to W Holt 16 & 17, C7, Garafraxa at Carmel in March 1826. Fellers & Merediths were U.E.L. from the Grimsby area.
Since Thomas died in 1849, we have not discovered where he was born, but D.F. Sargent always said his people came from England. Likely by way of NY City and across NY State from Albany by way of Erie Canada to Buffalo or to Niagara-on-the-Lake, arriving in the Niagara Peninsula where why were married. - - -
