• Notes

  MS 638 Reel 61 (formerly RG22-6-1-A), arranged alpabetically by surname, provides Wm Nixon's will dated 15 Aug 1854. It mentions daughter Ester. 4 pages. I have a copy "First white child born in Twp of Grimsby" says the 1852C With the 46 families they crossed the Niagara River in July 1787 Lincoln Wm's obit ("More Notices from Methodist Papers 1830 - 1857" by McKenzie) states that he had patented several valuable agricultural implements. He was a farmer but also a blacksmith and a carriage-maker. The old shop in which he manufactured various mechanical implements became the Stone Shop Museum. [1]
