I was surprised to get yor email. kind of forgot about my posting-almost delted the message not sure who it was from--
glad i didn't
-I had the barn taken down couple of years ago--just some of foundation left--apparently the house burnt down in 1900 and was rebuilt with help from neighbours---Langstaff--were one of the neigbours that helped rebuild it--the old langstaff home is just west of me---on opposite side of the road.
Couple of years ago a elderly couple pulled into my yard annd the wife told me she lived here as a child with her grandparents--I went to visit them in apartment in belleville and she had me call her elderly mother in her 90's who was in a nursing home down east---she is the one that told about the fire in 1900. [last name was adams.]
I was told the neighbours to the east of me--opposite side of road are from the original decendants of the time this land was settled--their last name now is hartt not sure if spelling is with 2 t's or one but will check that out---where do you now live??--i have some information I got at the local land registry office--[I am not able to send pic or download stuff , not that good on computer]-someday when i find the time I would like to do more research--very interesting really--just to imagine just how difficult life must have been trying to stay alive during our cold winters -- people now days just don't seem to appreciate just how difficult life must have been for the early settlers---kids nowdays if they don't have an ensuit bath , cell phone etc--they think they are hard done by lol---

I descend from Caleb Gilbert and Eliza Donahue. I believe the original post refers to my Donahue (Donahoo) family but I'm having difficulty determining which father is my Caleb Gilbert's. I had him mixed up with Caleb Gilbert b 1841 and son of John and Maria (Yager) Gilbert. My Caleb and Eliza went to Port Huron, MI. What do you know of the Gilberts that went to Port Huron?
