-witnessed his brother Peter's marriage 1846

Marriage witnessed by R. Dawson & Job Hammond (cousin)

from Tunks descendant Chris Karlgaard, Aug. 25, 2015: "One interesting thing I did come across in the records was the name of Richard's company commander, Captain Robert Carew. Captain Carew was also apparently in command of the group of sick soldiers from the 82nd Foot at the battle of Talavera (see http://www.napoleon-series.org/military/organization/c_detach.html). The 1814 muster rolls indicate that Captain Carew was Richard's company commander during the the battle of Orthez, France, and through the final months of the War of 1812. I think I have found a little information about Robert Carew here:

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=sandberg&id=I24353

I have to wonder if Richard named one of his sons, George Carew Tunks, after his former company commander. Its an interesting possibility. Do you have any information about this?"

16292 Much of the info from Library/William Jeffrey (II)/3-The Jeffrey Tree

Ordained an elder in St Andrew's Presbyterian Chruch by Rev John Laing in 1870.

From Wikitree (info provided by Tom Loghrin) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jeffrey-366 "William and his family moved to Stratford in 1871[1] and bought out the Triller Bros. Hardware Store. He handed over the business to his sons in 1885 and he then devoted his time to insurance and accounting. William was a lifelong Reformer and always took a deep interest in public affairs. He was a Presbyterian and was, for many years, an elder in Knox Church.[2] William is interred in the Avondale Cemetery, Stratford, Ontario, Section L, Lot 045, Sublot 1.
Footnotes
1 At the time the 1871 Census was taken, the family was in St. Catharines, Ontario.
2 "Mr. William Jeffrey buried", The Stratford Beacon-Herald, May 24, 1908."

Undated newspaper article in Stratford says he and Andrew McLenhan bought the hardware business of Fuller Bros (located in the Fuller block). See Library/William Jeffrey (II)/Item 12.

Funeral at his son-in-law's (Wm Preston) on Shrewsbury Street. See obit in Library/Misc Stuff/Item 27 p1.

1861 census shows his household including a 21 year old person born in Scotland with the name Jno McLeod. (See Library/Misc Stuff/Item 28 P 1) This might be a transcription error meaning John, who was Jane's brother.
