My ancestors were born in either Wales or Walkerton; Does anyone have more information to share? My story is she was connected with Loyalists and I'm trying to confirm or gain any other information on this branch of the family.

I should add a bit more information; another researcher found them listed in the 1867 County of Bruce Directory at Carrick TWP at Lots 6,7 Con 13. Also a William and Jenkins Richards are at nearby lots. (which would have been Johns brothers). I am new to researching, and am wondering my next step learn more about those years. Maudline (Madeline) is my husbands g, g grandmother.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any other information? My records show Maudilane Zimmerman was born Jan 22, 1846 in Walkerton. Her parents were John Zimmerman b. 1806, and i believe mother Sophia Margaret Dennison, born 1807 in Toronto, Both parents died in Howick area. Margaret moved to Thunder Bay area and remarried a Haggert. I am interested in finding more about her early life and family.

Sold land to youngest son,Henry in 1879.
Rev. Wm. Jenkins performed a private marriage for John Cimmerman and Sophia Dennis July 10, 1832 in Markham Township,York. Rev. Jenkins was a circuit riding minister. His private register was donated to Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church, the original church register has apparently been lost.

their tombstone is in Gorrie Cemetary but although Sophia's nname is on it, she isn't buried there. As yet I haven't
been able to find if she remarried or where she is buried.
If there is any more I can help you with, please email me at bed39@rogers.com

Hi Dave and Colleen

I am a gr gr gr grandson of Madeline Zimmerman. My Grandmother spoke of her as Gramma Haggert. As you note, she was in Port Arthur / Thunder Bay with her daughter Maggie Hall when she died, though her home when she married John Haggert, and the home my grandmother remembers was in Loring, which is about midway between Highways 11 and 69 south of where Lake Nipissing meets the French River.

I am a descendant of her daughter Martha Dobson nee Richards and would be very happy to hear from you if you would like to contact me at kquinn1234@rogers.com.

Best wishes.

Kirk

Hi KIrk

I just recently went back on to Ancestry.ca and saw your last email. I never ever did receive the info that you found out on the Richards. If you still have access to it, I would be very interested. My email address is morleenk@gmail.com or cannich@shaw.ca. I am now retired so I can do some more research on my relatives.

Morleen King.
