• Notes

  William McDowell was born on the boat coming to Canada from Ireland. His family lived first in Nova Scotia. He married Phoebe Densmore in 1840 and their first son, John McDowell, was born in Nova Scotia in 1843. The family moved from Nova Scotia, live for a time in New York State, and in 1855 moved to the Township of East Wawanosh, settling on the south half of Lot 34, Concession 6, about a mile north of the Westfield Church. John and his brother Robert were old enough to remember coming up the Erie Canal through New York State with all the family's possessions. - Taken from Wilderness to Wawanosh Page 109
