I am searching for descendants of MacGowan Blackstock, he immigrated from Northern Ireland to Chinguacousy Twp, Terra Cotta, Peel Co. in 1831. He had six children, one died as an infant. They lived in Chinguacousy and Esquesing Twp. as well as East Wawanosh, and Ashfield Twp., Huron Co. and Prices Corners, Simcoe Co. His son James Blackstock m. Florence Hunter in 1869 in Georgetown, Halton Co.
If you have any information on these surnames I would love to hear from you.

I have just begun researching our family so my information is limited. I do know that a Catherine Ann Blackstock married Lester Isaah Rice May 25, 1896. They lived in Chinguacousy Twp. Ontario. My grandfather is sending more information soon and I will be happy to update you with any additional information I get. I do not know from whom Catherine was descended. The Rice's moved to Saginaw, MI around 1910 where our family still lives.

I have a Jane Vint b July 2, 1821 Hope Twp, Durham Co who married William Hill b August 20, 1818 Armagh, Ireland.

This couple migrated to Peel Twp., Wellington Co. and are buried there.

I know a Shaun Blackstock in Ottawa, and has family in the Toronto Area. I will pass this on to him.

I have in interest in the Vint family - can you help?
note your Jane vint in the county of Peel

I have a James Vint and Margaret Blackstock and their descendants in my family tree. I don't know much about James, but I have Margaret born in Peel County in 1832 and died in East Wawanosh, Huron Co, September 26, 1909. If either of these names are a match I have a some additional information.

Greetings. Hope that the following helps to clear up some of these Blackstock querries.

McGowan Blackstock born Co. Armagh, Ireland 18 August 1798, died 7 August 1898. Married three times:
1. 1st wife was Mary Warnock and had four children: Susan; Mary Blackstock Roe (Rowe)- she was born in Ireland (1830)and I have her baptismal record; Margaret Blackstock Vint; Sarah Ann Blackstock McGowan.
2. 2nd wife was Margaret McAvoy and they had only one child (perhaps others died in infancy?) his name being James Blackstock who married Flora Hunter. James and Flora had at least five children (one of whom was the Catherine Blackstock, born circa 1874 in Esquesing twp., Halton Co. as mentioned in one of the above querries).
3. 3rd wife was Mary Gailbraith, a widow with her own family. McGowan Blackstock and Mary married late in life and had no family together.

McGowan Blackstock had a brother William who died 13 Feb. 1831 in Chinguacousy twp., buried Home Church cemetery at Alloa in Ching. Married Sarah Scott and had three daughters: 1. Margaret Blackstock who married Patrick McClure); 2. Abigail Blackstock who married James McCulloch and 3. Susan Blackstock who married William Stewart Mundell, and these three marriages all had large families.

If interested I have deatils of McGowan and William's parents and place or origin in Ireland.

Also, Iris Freeman of Edmonton is doing a lot of research on the descendants of McGowan Blackstock.

Following the death of William Blackstock (by a falling tree) his widow Sarah Scott Blackstock married Long John McClure, a kinsman of the Patrick McClure who married Sarah's daughter Margaret Blackstock. Long John McClure and Sarah Scott Blackstock have hundreds of descendants!

Re; the Vint family, Audrey Clarke, former Municipal Clerk of Dundalk, Ontario was doing research on the Vint and Hill family of Clarke twp., that moved into the Grey Co. area and is related to this above family.

I would love to trade information, especially on the first three generations of these families.

Greetings: I hope that the following is of assistance to you.

I am curious how the 'ROE' family fits into your family history?
I am looking for a 'Edward ROE' who would have lived in Toronto around 1928???
Thanks for your time.
