Could I please have Georgiana Webster's email address so I can contact her off list. I am rsearching my Bailey Genealogy which begins with Sgt. Robert Bailey of the 16th Lancers (who was in charge of the 16th Lancers quelling the Rebellion of Upper Canada in 1837) and his wife Anne Linton, both from County Down, Ireland. His Grandson, Robert Milton Bailey, my Grandfather, born in Orillia, Ontario, 1869, was in the Force that put Louis Riel down at Batoche, Manitoba, in 1885. I am keen to find when my GGGrandparents came to Canada, when they married, who their ancestors were and what the connection is between Orillia and the River River Settlement. My Dad, Robert Linton Bailey, and siblings talked a lot about Orillia, Red River Valley, Rainey River, Smooth Rock Falls. He was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba in 1901. Father Robert Milton Bailey. Thank you. Patricia Johnson Bailey Cloverdale, B.

If you want some interesting, and entertaining reading about The Manitoba Red River Settlement, try, Alfred Siliver's book - "The Red River Story." This one is in novel form, but the people actually lived, and is about the Clearances in Scotland by the Duchess of Sutherland, and the subsequent founding of the western Red River Settlement. Later, some of the settlers did move east, some stayed put, due to the troubles with the Metis, who were already there, and did not like the influx of settlers. " Quote from the cover of the book - "The people in this story all lived - The settlers dreamed of a home of their own and land to farm - The half-Indian buffalo hunters dreamed of a land kept open for their wild, free way of life. - And the great fur companies, there in the wilderness of the northern Great Plains where the Assiniboine River joined the Red, cared only for Profit.....- A Novel based on the life of Kate MacPherson and settling of a new land. End Quote There are two other following books, by Alfred Silver - "Where the Ghost Horse Runs". - The story of Marie McGillis Grant, Her legendary husband, and his dreams. Quote from cover of the book - This is the true story of the Metis Nation and the vision of one man, Cuthbert Grant. Known as the "Chief of the Half'-Breed"s," Grant saw civilization threatening the old ways of his half- Indian people and dreamed of creating an Eden for them on the Northern Great Plains. End quote. Also there is another book set in the time of Louis Riel. "Lord of the Plains". Quote: Lord of the Plains is a true story- The men and women in it actually lived and fought- and many died -for freedom. In 1885 the winds of war were rising over the western plains. The Indians were starving to death on their reservations. The mixed-blood peoples were being swindled out of their ancestral lands. In the eye of the storm stood Gabriel Dumon and his wife, Madelaine. With them also stood Louis Riel, the mad visionary whose dreams for the future compounded the coming tragedy. End quote: I hope I am not out of place in mentioning these, on this site, but they are interesting and entertaining reading, and a part of our Canadian history.

It would appear from various Census that Robert Bailey and Ann Linton came to Canada prior to birth of their son William who was born about 1840 in Ontario. Cheers!
