• Notes

  Her parents may have come from Pennsylvania, USA. Death Registration 022570 Archives of Ontario microfilm MS935 Reel 70. Suffered from cancer for three years under the care of Dr. A. Stewart. The registration listed her as been born in Canada. Buried beside her husband in Plot CC-1-37F in Harriston Cemetery, Ontario, Canada. Isiah Sherman Gauley has birth year of 1834. The following is summarized from a story written by Olive Hewitt as told to her by her mother, Helen Thomson. "Adeline's father, John Elliott, was descendant from Jamestown Pilgrim Fathers who landed at Jamestown, Virginia. Adeline's brother was president of Harvard University for 30 years". This story has not been confirmed. Sherman Gauley, Olive Hewitt's son doubts this story is true. Sherman was never able to trace the family of Adeline Elliott. Daughter Jane's death registration stated that Adeline Elliott was born in the USA. Following courtesy of Lorne Wallace Glendinning from Agnes Helen Baird's scrapbook: Death of Mrs. Thomson Tuesday morning another pioneer of Minto Township lost his wife. Mrs. John Thomson, well known to all our readers, passed away at the homestead on Lot 36, Concession 4. She was only 67 years of age and had practically lived her live in Minto. She was a native Canadian, and was married to Mr. Thomson in 1852. Beside her husband, there survive her four sons and six daughters. These are William of Neepawa, Manitoba, who is at present at home as a consequence of the sickness of his mother, Mrs. Beard (Annie) and Mrs. Hewitt (Helen) of Dakota, Mrs. Smith (Fannie) of the second concession of Minto, Mrs. Craig (Jennie) of the tenth concession of Peel, Lizzie, Mary at home, Robert in Manitoba and John and David at home. Mr. Thomson came to Minto and took up land in 1854, accompanied by Messrs. Lavery, Suddaby and Connell, attending the sale of land in the township of Minto at Elora on Sept. 11, 1854. Not until March of 1860 though, did Mr. Thomson move into the bush with his wife. Since that date they have lived in the old homestead, and have made it one of the best farms in Wellington. Mrs. Thomson's funeral takes place this afternoon at 1:30 at Harriston cemetery.
