Biography
John was born in 1805 in Scotland. Some say he was born 10 Jun 1805 in St. Ninians, Stirlingshire, Scotland, but provide no sources, nor have I been able to locate any.
In 1834, he married Helen (Scobie) McNabb (abt.1807-) in Dunblane, Perthshire[1]. They had five children, and sometime between 1851[2] and 1861, the family immigrated to Canada, settling in Middlesex County in what is now Ontario[3].
In the 1861 census, John (age 52), Farmer, was the married head of household in Dorchester, Middlesex, Canada West.[4] In the 1871 census, John (age 64) was recorded as married in Adelaide, Middlesex North, Ontario.[5]
John died on 21 July 1880 and was buried in West Adelaide Cemetery, Kerwood, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada.[6]
