Charlotte Ann Forsyth Stevenson 1863-1886

Charlotte Ann Forsyth was born in King Township in 1863. On May 6th, 1884, she married Alexander Stevenson who was born in Ottawa about 1860, the son of John and Maria Stevenson. According to her father's obituary in 1908, 'Lottie' died about 1888. However, in checking for her death certificate, I have found the following:

Charlot(te) Ann Stevenson
Died- 16th June 1886
Female - 23 years, 7 months
Born- Ontario
Presbyterian
Cause of death - Inflammation 9 days
Dr. Bridgeland
Residence of deceased - Lot 14 Concession 6

Date of registration - June 18, 1886

She is buried in the Falkenburg Union Cemetery.

Charlotte's husband remarried seven years after her death on the 2nd of August, 1893.

-Alexander Stevenson, b. Renfrew County, age 33, son of John and Maria Stevenson.
-Married Elizabeth Ann Jones , 30, born 1863 Middlesex County, daughter of Oliver and Eliza Jones

I haven't found them in the 1901 census, however, they are in Dymond Township in Nipisssing in 1911. Charlotte's son, John Stevenson , is living with his father and second wife. John is 26 years old in 1911. He is shown as a 'lodger' in the census.

Mary Dales was born in King Township (Kettleby area) September 22, 1840.

She died in 1935.

Robert Forsyth, Tailor 1837-1912

Click on title for map of Wentworth County, Ontario including
townships of Ancaster and Beverley.

Robert Forsyth was the youngest child of John Forsyth and Charlotte Cockburn and was born December 16th, 1837 in West Fenton. His birth is registered in the records of the Dirleton Parish Church. Both these places are east of Edinburgh and in East Lothian, Scotland.

Robert's birth / baptism record was either lost or he was never baptised, as on August 13, 1854 when he was 17, a note was made in the Parish records that Hugh Goodlet (the husband of Robert's mother), appeared before the Kirk Session of Dirleton and made an affidavit that Robert was born in Dirleton. He used the entries taken from his and John Forsyth's family Bible as proof. Why this was done at this time is unclear; however, in the 1861 census, Robert is the only child still with his parents in Innerwick at age 23 and is a 'tailor journeyman.' Perhaps it was related to the apprenticeship system. The other possibility is that he planned to emigrate from Scotland and required a record of his birth for this purpose. His two brothers went to Canada in the mid 1850's; perhaps it had been his plan as well.

Robert immigrated to Canada in 1863. This information comes from the 1901 census. On the 18th of November, 1866, he married Jane Varner (sometimes shown as Jennie) in Wentworth County. The record provides the following details:

Robert Forsyth, 28, b. Scotland village, residence - Ancaster Township, son of Jonathon (?) Forsyth and Charlotte, married
Jane Varner, 24, b. England, daughter of Samuel and Catherine Varner.

Jane's place of birth is given as Ireland in census records. A Catherine Varner, age 58, born in Ireland appears in the Dundas, Wentworth County census for 1871. Her occupation is 'tailoress'. This would seem to be Jane's mother. There is no Samuel Varner, but there are other Irish Varners in the Stratford area.

It is not known why Robert Forsyth went to the Hamilton area. His elder brothers, Charles and John had already emigrated by the time the 1861 Scottish census was taken. John was in King Township, north of Toronto in 1861. Charles location has not yet been found before 1871 when he was in York. It is not known where Robert spent the three years between his immigration and his marriage in 1866. John and Mary Dales (with parents and sister Alison) went to Muskoka in 1865. Perhaps Robert was not interested in living in the wilderness of Muskoka and his trade was better suited to a larger centre of population.

The 1871 Census only provides the name of the head of the household:

FORSYTH, Robert, 32, b. Scotland, Wentworth South, Ancaster

The 1881 Census for Ancaster, Wentworth South is as follows:

Robert FORSYTH, M, Scottish, 43, b. Scotland, Tailor, Presb.
Jane FORSYTH.......... F,......Irish, 37, b. Ireland.............Presb.
Kate FORSYTH.......... F, Scottish, 14, b. Ontario..............Presb.
Charlotte FORSYTH...F, Scottish... 7, b. Ontario..............Presb.

In 1889, Kate married Robert H. Pettigrew. He was an advertising agent and they lived in Hamilton. They had five children; the youngest child, Charles, was born in January, 1904. By 1911, Kate was widowed.

By the 1891 Census Robert Forsythe and family had moved to Beverly Township and they were living between Postmaster Haws and a shoemaker named John Montgomery. Robert is 48, Jane 46, their younger daughter daughter, 'Lottie,' is now 17.

In the 1901 Census, they are in Dundas, Wentworth South:

Forseth , Robert, M, Head, M...............b. Aug 11, 1844, 62
Forseth, Jane, F, Wife, M...........................b. Aug 16, 1844, 57
Forseth C. F., F, Daughter, S,.....................b. May 28, 1875, 26

Jane Forsyth died June 1, 1901 at age 54 (?). Her address was given as King Street, Dundas. She was born in Ireland, and was Presbyterian. Jane died of cancer.

In this census we learn that Robert came to Canada in 1863 and Jane came in 1844. Robert is still working as a tailor and their daughter is shown as the bookkeeper.

On December 24, 1907, Charlotte married Walter C.B. Donkin, a teacher. They were married in Lincoln County and in the 1911 census, they are living in Brantford.

I have been unable to find Robert in the 1911 Census record; however, he died in Hamilton in 1912. He was 74 years old.

Death of John Forsyth - From the Gravenhurst Herald, 1908

Resident of Muskoka for Half Century: Passes away at home in Macaulay

Mr. John Forsyth, Senior, one of the ealiest residents of the district and one who was thoroughly acquainted with the disadvantages and hardships of opening up a new territory passed away Thursday nite of last week. He had been ailing for a couple of years and two weeks ago, became much worse, the cause of death being attributed to valvular disease of the heart. He suffered little pain and during his illness was always cheerful and uncomplaining.

The deceased leaves a widow and ten children. Two children, Charlotte who died about twenty years ago and a son George, whose death took place two years ago last Christmas, having predeceased him.

The daughters are Mrs Arthur(sic) Crandall, Toronto; Mrs. Robert Montgomery, Parry Sound; Mrs. Harry Mortimer, Mortimer's Point; Mrs. William James, and Mrs. George Peacock and Mrs. Thomas Peacock of Falkenburg.

The sons are William of Huntsville, John and James of Utterson, and Robert of Port Sydney. All the members of the family were present at the funeral which took place last Saturday in Falkenburg Cemetery.

Mr. Forsyth was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and came to Canada with his parents when he was about twenty years old, living for a time in King (County) Township. There he was married a few years later to Miss Mary Dales whose home was near the town of Newmarket.

Forty-eight years ago he came to Muskoka and found this section of wilderness, there being but one house in what is now the town of Bracebridge. For a couple of years he lived there, being chiefly engaged in cutting roads. He located two lots in Macaulay, since named, and cut a good road from them to Bracebridge, and there he made a home and lived the remainder of his life.

Though always taking a deep concern in the welfare of his neighbours, Mr. Forsyth could not be induced to enter municipal politics but lived a quiet life.
He was well-known throughout the district and highly esteemed.

He was a member of the Presbyterian Churchand when in health, was a regular attendant. In politics, he was independant, chosing the man rather than the party.

The sympathy of many friends is extended to the bereaved relatives.

Alison Forsyth McNee 1830-1905

The 1878 Atlas of Muskoka District shows James McNee as the original land owner (probably by grant) on Lot 6 of Concession XIII, Macaulay Township. A current map of Muskoka showing the old lots and concessions indicates that this land is still accessible. On June 24th, 2009 my brother, Gary and I turned right off District Road #4 just north of the Falkenburg Union Cemetery onto Moore Road and then turned left onto the Little Road. There are very few houses on this road, and it is rough going, but the power lines run along it, so it is likely maintained by the district. We drove about two miles, and if the modern map is correct, came to the old McNee property on the left and the Clark land on the right at the end of the part which is accessible by car. The flies were too overwhelming to walk into the old McNee property but there was a road in. We could not see if there was a structure. On the right side of the road, old fence posts were visible. This would be a nice walk for another day.

Barb found the following on the internet:
"I'm Mark Lewis and I ran across your comments enumerating Forsyth
descendants on an internet search. John and Charlet Cockburn Forsyth's
dau. Allison, b. 1831 married James McNee in 1865. Their dau. Helen
(Ellen) Bowie McNee married my g grandfather John Clarke, (son of Rev.
John Clarke of West Favell, Northhamptonshire,Eng.) and moved to
central Mich. in the 1880s. The Clarke Centennial farm is still
producing. John and Helen's dau. Emma Clarke married my grandpa Fred
Lewis. Our fourth daughter who is now 3 is named Emma after her. The
Clarkes and the Forsyths and McNees converged at Muskoka in the 1870s."

The families are enumerated in this order:
Schafer, Samual Lougheed, John Forsyth Sr. and Charlotte, James and Alison McNee, John Forsyth Jr. and Mary

John Forsyth (Junior) purchased Lot 9 of Concession XIII for forty dollars on April 24, 1873 (Crown Lands sale). The 1878 Muskoka District Atlas map shows only land grants, therefore no one is named on lot 9, concession XIII on this map. However, John Sr. is shown in the 1871 census as a family head, living on separate land from the rest of the family, and as a tenant on Lot 9 of Concession XII and John Jr., on Lot 9 of Concession XIII, as possessing 200 acres. Lot 10 of Concession XII was located in July of 1869 and was Freegrant with the patent issued October 12, 1875.

Charlotte died April 19, 1881 which would have been shortly after the census was taken. John Sr. died November 7, 1894. Both are buried at the Falkenburg Union Cemetery.

BRACEBRIDGE - A thriving village on the Muskoka River, in the township of Macaulay, Muskoka District, county of Victoria, in the immediate vicinity of the Free Grant Territory. The first settlement of the village dates only a few years ago, but the evidence of its prosperity and rapid growth are every where conspicuous. The water- power is first-class, and is utilized by grist, saw, planing, and woollen and carding mills. Other manufacturing establishments are also contemplated. The Northern Advocate and Free Grant Gazette, ably conducted journals, are published here. There are English, Presbyterian and Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist Churches in the village.

The scenery in the neighbourhood of Bracebridge is remarkable for its romantic beauty, hill, dale, lake, river, cataract, forest and farm are blended in picturesque variety, and tourists from all parts of the continent are recognizing the claims of the Muskoka Territory as a favorite resort for its healthiness, beauty and excellent sporting facilities.

Bracebridge connects with Gravehurst by steamers and Stages to Washago, thence by boat to Orillia and the Northern Railway. Also with the Midland Railway at Beaverton, and with stages at Rosseau for Parry Sound and the Nipissing and Maganatawan Territories. Distant from Gravenhurst 16 miles; Port Carling, 20; Rosseau, 33; and the head of Lake Joseph 42 miles.
