1	"...they were married and lived independent on her [Rachel's] fine property until it was nearly all spent, when Aunt Rachel's only sister, Abagail Blagmire, died and left them a large fortune, which they also nearly finished before their death."	Family: F122

My grandparents and their sons lived in the upstairs apartment (the addresses were 1020 and 1022 W. Onondaga St.)."	Family: F137
3	"Apparently the Glovers moved to Elora [from Quebec] after the O'Loanes did and unbeknownst to them because Aunt Margaret said that it was one of the pieces of family lore that Mary went into the farmhouse one day after the stage had gone by saying, 'If Michael Glover were in this area, I'd say I'd just seen him.' He really was in the area and they must have met up with each other because they were married in 1852 and had six children....It was their daughter Elizabeth who would marry Michael Bowes, thus connecting the Bowes and the Glovers."

7	"In 1847 the Glovers left Valcartier for Welland, Ontario where the two brothers [John and Michael] worked on the Welland Canal, and two years later moved to Elora, twelve miles from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada." At some point after Hugh died, his family, John and his family, and Margaret and her family all moved to the Marcellus, New York, area. "In 1859, John Glover and Patrick Hickey (Margaret's husband) wrote from their homes in the Marcellus [New York] area that a ninety acre farm was for sale in a nearby area called the Lime Ledge. The Glovers in Canada [having gone from Quebec to Elora] decided to buy it. The two households (the older one consisting of Edward Glover's widow [Margaret Mulrain Glover] her son Ned [the younger Edward] and daughter Sally) and the younger one (Michael, his wife [Mary O'Loane Glover] and four children -- two were born later) came by boat from Hamilton, Ontario to Oswego, New York and by horse and wagon the rest of the way. From then on, they lived as one household."	Family: F124

He also told them that their home on Blackberry Lane had been torn down in 1964."	Family: F124
9	"Knowles are a known family of Liverpool clockmakers of that period."	Family: F346
10	"My notes from Aunt Margaret give the impression that the whole family emigrated in 1821 when Hugh did. In fact, she quoted the old family saying that they had 'left the potatoes in the ground.' However, they might have done this when the land grant came through. Fred mentioned their building the house and barns on the farm, so perhaps they lived in Quebec until this was done." A document held at the Canadian Archives states: "JOHN GLOVER---of Athlone, Westmeath, Ireland, who had served in the army, had been wounded and pensioned on October 24, 1828. He had been living in Quebec for some time, had a wife and eight children, 4 of whom were boys and he enclosed a recommendation from William Smith, he acquired Lot 9, Concession 2 according to the commission records"	Family: F124

It is a quiet secluded spot; no house hear it. It is three miles from Jenistown...No tombstones are erected in the graveyards of Friends, they are laid side by side, just as they die: but Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap Each in his narrow cell forever laid The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep"	Family: F119

Grandfather Richard Irwin died young, and left my grandmother considerable property during her life, and at her death, a great part of it went to my mother's brother, who died and left one daughter, who now enjoys it. Wigton is a beautiful market town, eleven miles west of Carlisle, and there I used to be sent every Christmas to spend my holidays with my Wigton grandmother, who never failed to send a Christmas pie to each of us as long as she lived; a large one to our parents, and a small one to each of us little ones, with our several names on them. The family of the Irwins are all buried in the Friends graveyard at Wigton."	Family: F97
