I am connected to the ROBSON family, which originated in Eckford, Roxburghshire, Scotland and emigrated to Chinguacousy Twp., Peel Co., Ont. in 1837. One son, Thomas, married Janet Gibson SPEIRS of Chinguacousy in 1838. Their second son was John Speirs ROBSON, b. Feb. 5 1843. He married Agnes (WYLIE?) in Caledon Twp., Peel Co. on May 1 1876. They had a son, Thomas Wylie ROBSON, b. Feb. 6 1878 in Stayner, Nottawasaga Twp., Simcoe Co. John, Agness and Thomas show up in the 1901 census of Pembina District, residing at Sec. 2/3-3-9-W1.
Does anyone know anything about this family? My best guess is that they lived a few miles south of Manitou.
