While researching my own Smith line from OaIslay to Puslinch Wellington Ontario Canada, I came across the following; the burial of Allen Smith. Allan Smith from Islay son of John Smith, died in NassagaweyaHalton Ontario Canada. A little bit of research produced the following info: In 1814, John Smith and his four sons, Allen, John, Neil and Alexander joined Lord Selkirk's expedition to Hudsons Bay. Selkirk left his men to find their own way, when his mission could not be accomplished. John Smith and his four sons, took canoes and paddled their way down Lake Superior to Drummond Island where they stayed for 3 months. Later, they landed in Penetanguishene and headed for Toronto. In or about 1824, John Jr and Alexander settled in NassagaweyaHalton Ontario Canada. Their father and brothers, Allen and Neil joined them in the 1830s. John Smith Sr went to live with his son in law, Robert Ramsey, brother of John Ramsey in 1842. Shortly after his move he was injured and died. Neil Smith and Allen remained in the Halton area. I became interested in this Smith family after discovering Allen Smith's grave in Ebenezer Cemetery. His headstone is very old, but it clearly states a native of Islay. who died in 1874 and was 80 yrs of age, his son George is also buried there. Does anyone have any info on this Smith line, where in Islay did they hail from.? >From the early history of Nassagaweya, it states Allen was a religious man and would read a loud from his Gaelic bible, even though his wife and children had no idea, what he was saying. The book also states that Allen's family moved to Michigan after his death. Neil's family remained in Halton and in his retirement years, Neil lived in Milton Halton. Marilyn Smith Favaro
