Barbara .... Maybe you can pass this on. I tried to bring up the Rootsweb site, to pick up an original e-mail address, but it was a no-go. That said, McLean was a time honoured name, around BARRIE , years ago, and may well still be. I went thru' High School with John and Bill McLean, whose father EDGERTON McLEAN , had a prosperous farm on the edge of ORO TOWNSHIP, at it's western proximity to Penetanguishene Road, in Barrie , at the junction of (old) Highway # 11. Farm is still there, and may well be still in the Family. John graduated High School and went to University of Guelph, and became a VETERINARY !!! But two-legged folks kept calling for service, so he went back to University and became an M.D. He set up practice in COLLINGWOOD. Have forgotten what younger brother Bill chose, as his career. There may well have been (other) younger siblings. You folks keep taking me back 60+ years .. THANKS !!!!!!!

Thanks for the information. John Shadrach Stephens is the son of Frederick (Fred) Smith Stephens. My great great grandfather was Alfred O. Stephens (1831-1900) John Shadrach's brother. I have John Shadrach Stephens married to Annie McKay, 2 May 1871, I have only one son listed, Frederick b. 1874 m. Nettie Taylor in 190- thanks for the rest. It is interesting that Lorenzo was with this branch of our family and may be the connection to my great uncle Albert Lorenzo Stephens..or they all liked the name Lorenzo.. I love this genealogy stuff.. the more you learn the more questions arise to investigate further! The Stephens family has a rich history. Thank you for sharing.

Does anyone know if there was a blood relationship between EZRA SIMPSON ( Senior ) of East Oro, and later Orillia .. and Thomas Simpson of Midland ???? Story shakes out, as follows : Dr. William Harold Mosley, the first dentist in MIDLAND .. prior to 1900 . was my wife, Ruth's maternal Grandfather. He married CORAH MAUD SIMPSON , June 26, 1895, in Parry Sound, Ontario. Corah Maud died, May 25, 1901, in Midland, as a result of childbirth, May 8, 1901. She is buried in Lakeside Cemetery, Midland. The baby, Maud Marguerite Mosley ( Ruth's mother ) survived, and was raised by LYDIA SIMPSON, daughter of Ezra. Dr. Mosley married Lydia, April 25, 1903, in Orillia. Corah Maud's parents, Thomas Simpson, and Sarah Archibald, were living in Midland, at the time of her death, so the presumption is That they looked after the baby for the intervening two years, before William Mosley remarried. William Mosley and Lydia Simpson had one child, a son Harold, who, as far as we know, left no descendants. The nagging feeling is that the two SIMPSON Families were, somehow, related, but, to date, I haven't been able to put it together. There is a 21 year spread between Ezra, and Thomas, according to the 1901 Census. It appears unlikely that they were full brothers. Have some decent information of several of these folks, if anyone is interested. Paul Robins, Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

Thomas Stephens headstone in Barrie Union Cemetery indicates that they were from Westport Ireland. Thomas Stephens and Anne Booth had 8 boys, of which John Stephens was the eldest. The others were: Richard, Thomas, William, Joseph, Samuel, James and Robert. William also married Hannah Garbutt in 1868 and Hannah Ausman in 1878 before marrying Elizabeth Jane Love in 1881.

Jani, The Ontario Photographers List Volume 2 lists John F. Jackson as being in business from 1901 to 1922. In all fairness the book only goes to 1925, Paul's message indicates that his father and grandfather had their photo taken at Jackson's studio in 1931. I know that he passed away on August 31, 1948 as the result of a heart attack while out on a walk. I also know that he was in business prior to 1901 as he won awards from the Canadian Association and the American Photographic Association in 1897, 1898, 1899 and at the Paris Exposition in 1900. I believe that he worked with his father in law prior to opening his own shop, and that more than likely he opened his own shop due to the death of his father in law in 1902.
