    3. Regarding Harrison, school teacher, Artemesia Township (how do you spell it anyway?) Thx to all who have answered me so far-guess I should have supplied more info at first. This is the info I got from the Grey County Directory of 1865- School #11, Artemisia Twp. George Harrison shown as teacher Also somewhere I came across this info (can't remember where) a George Harrison is shown living on Lot 1 Concession 26 South of Durham Road, do not know if either one is my George. My George Harrison's obit says he was a "high school teacher in the northern districts for some 29 years". He died age 99 in 1913. The family moved to King township about 1869-70-71. George Harrison was married to Jane Boak and had 8 children, at least some of whom were born in "Durham".-Possibly William 1857, Anne 1859, Ruth 1861, Hannah 1865, John 1867 and Thomas(for sure) 1870, the other 2 (George Jnr. and Robert) born in King. I know they lived in your area and am trying to find out where he would have taught school. He originally came from Maryport, Cumberland, England but I don't know when, her family came from Kent, England. This is why I am interested in your area.
