Trees

Badger

The Badger Tree starts with James Parker Badger and Phoebe Clay who immigrated to Canada between 1847 and 1852.

Blanchard

On this site, Sarah Blanchard is the matriarch of the Blanchard tree. Although she was born in Ontario, I have not found information about her parents yet.

Burke

Henry Burke and Bridget Haden immigrated to Canada between 1838-1841.

Clark

This section traces the Clark family from James Clark and Jane Vance who lived in Hinchenbrook, Quebec, Canada in 1840 after immigrating from Ireland. James died in South Pontiac, Quebec, after which the family spread out. Some of the children settled in Parry Sound, Ontario, while most of them moved cross border to northern Michigan. While some of those stayed in Cheboygan, Michigan, including mother Jane, others moved across the United States, with at least three of the brothers dying in California.

Detlor

For the Detlor family, we start with George Detlor, a United Empire Loyalist who migrated to Canada from the USA between 1800 and 1812 with his wife Lettie Van Pelt.

File

Melchior File was born in New York, but migrated to Canada where he married Rachel Jenckes in 1796.

Hay

Descendants of William Hay and Isabella Henderson.

Jenckes

Descendants of Joseph Jenckes and Rachel Davis.

Jones

John Henry Jones and Mary Alice Jones were both born in Wales. They married in Manchester, England before migrating to Canada in 1863.

Linton

The Linton family is currently six generations deep in Canada from the immigration of Frederick Charles Linton in 1907 from Bristol, England. He married Ethel Wimhurst in Northern Ontario on Christmas day 1912. Generation three is still alive, so this is the shortest family listed.

Little

Descendants of William Little and Jane West,

MacPherson

Descendants of Ewen MacPherson and Isabelle MacLeod.

Mahoney

Ellen Mahoney migrated to Canada with her parents between 1827 and 1854.

McGown

Thomas McGown migrated to Canada in 1844 with his wife Margaret McNaughton.

Milne

Descendants of David Milne and Ann Scott.

Morrison

Descendants of John Morrison and Mary Peters.

Patterson

Descendants of James and Betsy Patterson.

Sills

Descendants of John Conrad Sills and his two wives Sarah Blanchard and Anna Maria Amey.

West

The West family is not the shortest family that I trace on this site, but it is pretty close. I think it is the last family to call Canada home, arriving in 1912. It begins with Lewis Victor West immigrating to Canada pre-World War 1. His wife, Eleanor, and two children soon followed him to Toronto where he had obtained a position in a factory. Three more girls were born in Canada. The family moved from Toronto about 1921. In 1935 Lewis, Eleanor, Fred and probably Louise were living in Otter Lake Station near Parry Sound. There are probably only six generations. Because most of the third and subsequent generations are still alive, this would be an exercise in social media rather than history to trace them all.

Williams

Descendants of David Williams and Sarah Wallis.

Wimhurst

John Charles Wimhurst married Ada Rose Matthews in 1883 in London, England. In 1907 they immigrated to Canada from Peas Pottage, England along with their four children. They settled in Ingram Township outside of Englehart, Ontario.
