• Notes

  The book "History of the Counties of Argenteuil, Quebec and Prescott, Ontario", by Cyrus Thomas (1896) states that John was the eldest and most educated sons of Peter. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh, and was a tutor for a gentleman's family in Scotland. In Canada he was a teacher in the public school at Chatham in Argenteuil County. "He was a man of superior abilities, well read in all the literature of the day, of a reflective and cultured mind; but owing to a retiring disposition, would take no part in the struggles of public affairs. In person he was of slight build and delicate constitution, in singular contrast to the rest of his brothers, who were all strong and rugged.."
